Is it mandatory to spend [B]at least[B] 6 months residing in the US every calendar year after obtaining a GC? :confused:
If your stay is less than 1 year abroad, you can reenter using just your green card. If you want to stay 1-2 years outside the U.S, you will have to apply for a reentry permit before departure. But, it will be considered as a break (i.e, more than 1 year abroad) in the continous residence requirement of 5 years when it comes to your naturalization application.
If you want to stay longer than that, you will have to apply for "returning resident permit" for which you need to prove that your intent is to be a permanent resident but, your stay abroad longer than the period of the reentry permit was beyond your control.
Please consult an attorney so that you don't lose your PR.

Dear Sir/Mam,
I am presently working in India. My wife is getting an L1 visa approval petition. We need to go to the US consulate for visa stamping.
My question is that 1) Do I need to resign from my current job to get a L2 visa stamping on my passport? 2) If not required, do I need to carry any form or letter from the company that I am on long leave/vacation to show it to the US consulate officier?
Please advice.
Thanks
You don't need to quit your job nor show any documents on extended leave to get a visa. Since your wife is the primary applicant, you just need to show proof that you both are still under bonafide marriage. Obviously, you will have to quit or take extended leave when you intend to travel to US but nothing to get a visa.

Hi
My h1 extension is under process. Once it gets approved can I am thinking of going to canada and get it stamped. My wife has also applied for cos from h1 to h4. It was not applied with my h1 extension but was applied 1 month later.
My question-
Can we go for h1 stamping for myself(once approved) and h4 stamping for my wife , even though her h4 is pending.Would I-539 receipt notice would suffice .
Thanks
anand

Just got back from getting my fingerprints processed at the Salinas ASC. It was an extremely pain-free experience. Starbucks could learn about customer service from these guys!
They didn't even ask me about my appointment date (I went a full 2 weeks earlier than my rescheduled appointment). They only asked for my EAD for identification. I was in and out within 8 minutes. The 1 hour drive from San Jose is well worth it. I was the only person there for fingerprinting there that Saturday. The employees were friendly, professional and efficient.
This is in sharp contrast to the San Jose ASC, where I was told that "Neither us nor the other ASCs accept walk-ins. We cannot process fingerprints without an appointment."
Good luck to the rest of you.

Folks
When I sign in to USCIS online status for my 140, I found this
On August 12, 2007, we received this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice.

Is this August 16 receipt date or notice date? I dont remember when my lawyer sent my 140 to USCIS?
STAmisha:
It must be Notice Date, Reciept Date doesn't show on online.

Yeah, the horizontal shot had no sky that wasn't gray - I took many. Also the left side of the bridge has some maintenance going on and looks awful (tarps & scaffolds). I'll work it over some more in PS. Thanks for the feedback :)

He can have both types of permanent residence pending at the same time - marriage-based and employment-based. This is very common. The marriage-based filing will probably be approved sooner than the other, because priority dates are so backlogged now.

Hi:
I received RFE (employment verification letter) from USCIS, texas center two years ago. I was still employed by the company who filed my GC application at that time. So the company replied and my case status was updated. But my PD was not current, so my case is still pending until now.
I lost job recently, if my PD became current in early 2010, will USCIS EVL me again?
I know no one can predict how USCIS works. I just want to check if anyone had experience that was checked employment status twice?
Thanks

My wife is maintaining her H4 status since Feb 07 and last entered US on H4 visa in July 2010, we have our EAD cards based on pending I485 filed in Aug 07. Her AP is valid till Jan 2011 and I am on H1B. she started working on EAD couple of weeks ago.
My question is: does the fact that she entered last on H4 affects her ability to work on EAD? Will it cause any problems in I485 approval.
Since she is working on EAD, her status is no longer H4 (the new status is AOS, so to speak). Other than that, there is no issue.

ICE officials provided a copy of a new policy memo (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7169978.html)dated Aug. 20 that instructs government attorneys to review the court cases of people with pending applications to adjust status based on their relation to a U.S. citizen. ICE estimates in the memo that the effort could affect up to 17,000 cases.
The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts.
Opponents of illegal immigration were critical of the dismissals.
"They've made clear that they have no interest in enforcing immigration laws against people who are not convicted criminals," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict controls.
In a June 30 memo, ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton outlined the agency's priorities, saying it had the capacity to remove about 400,000 illegal immigrants annually � about 4 percent of the estimated illegal immigrant population in the country. The memo outlines priorities for the detention and removal system, putting criminals and threats to national security at the top of the list.
We expect more cases terminations across the United States in the next several months.
