Youll be fine if you have a reasonable and nice inspector.  If the inspector is an ass, then you might have some issues (probation, ect...)\n\nWith all the news now a days, its cool to hear people are still coming into this country legally, I comend you and hope it works out for you.  And dont shoplift!

No, they have your number on file. It's good that you called back. Now wait. If you don't hear anything by tomorrow, call again and explain that you wanted to check the status of your application.

In immigration parlance a visa is a document that allows you to enter the country.\n\nYou have to stay until you have your interview. That's the one prior to being issued a temporary green card ("Resident Alien Card"). There is no set time because it always takes longer than the estimate, which is all the DHS will give you. In my case it was about a year. After your interview you can apply for a Travel Waiver. I never applied for one so I don't have any experience of that. I didn't go back 'home' until five years after I arrived.\n\nYour temporary green card is good for three years. In the meantime, usually about a year before it expires, you can start processing for your permanant green card ("Permanent Resident Card"). Once you have that you can come and go as you please.

You can't find out who has been given a green card through the lottery. If you have been picked, they will notify you my email, regular mail and telephone , I think. Good luck, Im entered into it aswell.

Yes it is normal, but not really an interview! He will be given the card the same day and have his fingerprint taken! It's that simple ! Don't forget to walk with all documents outlined! He will also be given a one year stamp in his passport! He will be required to take this to the SS office to get his new number! 40 quarters of work or citizenship, whichever comes first to qualify for benefits! His next and only interview will be for his permanent resident card! Congratulations and good luck. Don't worry!

I don't know what's wrong with him, but with a pending I-130 the bet is that she'll immediately apply for change of status after she clears immigration on her visitor visa.  It's pretty much standard operating procedure to deny a visa in a case like this.

Call Internal Affairs if it is local.   If it is federal cal Office of Internal Audit.  Unless it is a supervisor or higher.  If that is the case you are wasting your breath.  In the last two days I have placed two calls to OIA regarding two different FOS's of the Border Patrol.  Nothing was done.  As a matter of fact they were called on their cell phones and given a "heads up".  so just be careful.  The federal will be very vindictive.  They wanted to know what station my husband worked out of.  They were more concerned with that then the supervisors breaking policy.

It will be up to the inspector...there is NO 10 day rule, the visa is valid from day X to day X, no exceptions! The inspector can make a field decision but it will be based on courtesy nothing more. If I catch you 1 day outside your visa window you will be sitting in camp! Why, because too many non-immigrants violate the law!

She must report it immediately to Homeland Security (used to be INS). She's also in for a lot of trouble getting a new one issued, because  a lot of people sell or give away their green card to illegals, then claim they lost it. It's now very hard to get a green card replaced.

Hello. I worked in the Oversees Screening Office for a couple of years. What will happen is your sister in law will go for a screening with a doctor. The doctor will ask about her past medical history and what medications she is on. Also, they will review her medical record to see how her treatment is going. The doctor will then forward the findings to the medical treatment facility in Japan and let them decide if they are able to support her medical needs. \n The screening process is used to ensure that the medical facility can handle condition. For the most part it shouldn't be a problem.\n\nJ

Calling INS would take too long. Figure out their schedule, where they go to work, where they shop, and report that in to the INS. Be like a CIA undercover agent. That way they won't know that you're following them.

Go to the Dept of Justice website, find whatever it is they're calling the INS lately (it's been changed recently), and I remember seeing the procedure you need to follow.  Post if you can't find it, and I'll look for it too.  Oooh I can't even imagine losing mine.  I'd have a heart attack.\n\nOk, here it is... from http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/replace.htm\n\nHow Do I Apply to Replace My Permanent Resident Card?\n\nIf you are a permanent resident, who needs to replace your card, or conditional resident who needs to replace your two-year card, for any of the reasons listed above, you may apply for a replacement card by filing a USCIS Form I-90.\n\nA Form I-90 can be downloaded from this site, or ordered by calling the USCIS Forms request line at 1 (800) 870-3676, or by submitting a request on-line here. After receiving Form I-90, read it carefully. Detailed information is provided in the instructions for Form I-90.\n\n\nApplicants may also file Form I-90 on-line using an Internet connection. Please see Introduction to E-Filing.

There are restrictions early in the process, usually while the immigrant is waiting for their permanent resident status.  I think once they hold a greencard they can come and go as they please.  Even during the early "probation" period, they can request permission to travel abroad for family emergencies and such.  \n\nThe local INS office can usually tell the immigrant their restrictions and give them any papers they need to fill out to get permission to leave if they're in a probation period.
