  1. Visas - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in India (usembassy.gov) Please start your own thread next time.
  2. You should be able to use AP to return. Aside from this make sure to inform the lawyer about your travel plans.
  3. 1. Yes. 2. It should be. Maybe get another certificate from the Registrar and notarize it if you are worried. 3. Once a citizen, you are allowed to work and stay anywhere. No domicile requirement for a USC.
  4. lOOK UP Visa Bulletin For January 2024 (state.gov)
  5. No rule stating one cannot have multiple visas. You use the appropriate visa for entry. H4 if you want to meet up with your spouse and F1 for entering to study.
  6. Documents are not important as they can be made up. Since they are going as a family, there should be no problems at all getting the visa. Obviously, the kids will know what they expect to see, Disneyland, etc. As long as any of you can articulate in brief the reason for your visit, the "Interview" will be very brief. Most tourist visas are granted.
  7. I would suspect not. The Original GC was abandoned.
  8. 1. You get married and then get the fact officially recorded or "registered". The rules vary by state. 2. A legal Marriage in any country is legal in any other country. If you get married here, that is the date you use. 3. Day I CPT is only allowed if the CPT is integral to the course. If that is the case, there should be no problem. If day 1 CPT was a shortcut, the consulate may delay the issuance of an H4 Visa and in this case, get a lawyer's guidance.
  9. Unless you go the H1 VISA stamp or worked for A, you will have to go through the Lottery again.
  10. 128 Countries automatically extend their passports by 6 months after passport expiration and India is one of them.
  11. Six-Month Passport Validity Update (cbp.gov). I would renew your passport in any case.
  12. Hope a lawyer is doing the heavy lifting. " The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has confirmed the submission requirements for the new Form 9089 Application for Permanent Employment Certification, specifically for Schedule A and National Interest Waiver I-140 petitions. For both Schedule A and National Interest Waiver petitions, the petitioner must submit the following portions of the new Form 9089: Appendix A (Foreign Worker Information): This section contains essential details about the foreign worker seeking permanent employment certification. Appendix C (Supplemental Information): If necessary, Appendix C should be included, allowing for additional information to be provided, which can complement the data entered in Appendix A. Page 2 of the Final Determination Document: Specifically, Sections B and C are required. Section B is the Foreign Worker Declaration, where the foreign worker acknowledges the truthfulness of the information submitted in Appendix A. Section C is the Attorney or Agent Declaration, where the attorney or agent representing the foreign worker also attests to the accuracy of the material submitted in Appendix A. For National Interest Waiver petitions, neither a job offer or employer are required. As a result, USCIS does not require an employer’s signature and Section D (Employer Declaration) does not need to be completed in such cases. However, for Schedule A I-140 petitions, both a job offer and employer are mandatory. Therefore, Section D (Employer Declaration) must be completed and signed by the employer. "
  13. "Please note that the advance parole (I-512) and the approval notice (I-797) are not valid documents for a visa free airport transit. An airport transit visa must be obtained." EU Blue Card (germany.info)
  14. You can use AP to return and your employer can file your extension.
  15. She will need to go through the lottery process since she did not get the visa stamp.
  16. You can try and apply for GE making absolutely sure that you mention all these details. However since GE appointments are long delayed, I would discuss the matter with a law firm and get appropriate guidance in a proactive manner.
  17. on the F2 VISA, you are not allowed Immigrant Intent and your long stay of 15 years without presumably leaving the country will go against you in terms of getting the visa. What about the H1?
  18. There is no concept of sponsorship for a tourist visa. Since they are both working they should be able to provide leave details from work if asked. Under the circumstances you mention, they should have no issues with a tourist visa. The only problem may be a delay in getting their Appointment.
  19. Overstays of more than 6 months mean a 3-year ban. In your case, there should not be any problem.
  20. You can use either the B1 or the B2 visa as appropriate and for generally recognized indications. So conferences, seminars and contract negotiations are permitted.
  21. You cannot enter on an H1 visa if you are not taking up a job with the H1 sponsor. You will need a H4 visa.
