I read in an article that there is a data base that employers can use.  It is not set up to handle the volume of requests and verifications necessary, however.  It has been essentially used on a trial basis.  The Immigration Department maintains it and processes requests.

Why are you assuming that the ambassador knows about it?   You should send an email to the embassy.

Why don't you call consulate in the United States and ask them. It is best to have all the facts. They will be able to help you so you can do it legally!

File an affidavit attesting to your qualifications.[Neb.Rev.St. § 25-2222] (If you don't know what this means you need to find a lawyer that can help you)

Coming to the US;  Very strict INS questioning, references needed, they call your references, family, friends, eveyrthing you say has to match with what they find or you get denied.  You may even have all that but if they feel you are being untruthful or suspicious in any way, or even have a connection with someone who is dealing in illegal activies, not only do you not get citizenship, you also get investigated yourself before you leave....if they let you leave.  Especially now with terrorism.  We have to be more than careful.

There are no quotas invloved when sponsoring a spouse of a US citzens. It just depends on how quickly the consulate processes the paperwork.

You would be better speaking to your congressman. They have liason officers to help with immigration issues.\n\nGood luck.

I can't say for sure, but my wife is from Russia and her brother is coming on a work permit in January.  We helped him with his paperwork and we also signed an affidavit of support for him.  If there is a certain amount of money he needs to have we haven't been made aware of it yet.  But you should check with the BCIS (formerly INS)

You could have the interpreter testify in authentication (best if you are trying your case before a jury), or with the court's permission, offer an affidavit from the interpreter certifying her faithful interpretation of the foreign document.  Also, the court could take judicial notice of the translation as accurate, assuming no objection by opposing counsel.

give them your SSN, they would know your status. i think it would appear what kind of SSN you have, whether your an immigrant, or has a working visa or an EAD, etc.

As regard the procedure, you should get it typed on a stamp paper and get it notarised (no need to paste postal stamps).  As far as the contents of the affidavits visit the following link :\n\nhttp://passport.bom.nic.in

they they sent you a letter that your paper is now on process? do you have your number for your application, then it would help to contact the immigration agent regarding your resident application..you have to keep informed or updated.

I can't tell you when you will get a reply from INS, I can tell you that I had a similar experience.  It took over two years (AFTER my interview that I passed) before I was contacted to attend a naturalization ceremony.  I am Moroccan and was told the same thing as you, that it was the FBI check they were waiting for.  I contacted ACLU and my local representatives who made contacts with INS and FBI on my behalf.  I don't really know whether it helped or not but I did finally swear in and get my citizenship.  There is hope, but you may need to push them.  INS is all politics, so get your representatives involved.  On the other hand, if  you know you have a criminal history anywhere in the world or have been suspected of any crime, you may wait for a very long time, much longer than you have already.  \nI say, contact outside organizations that are there to help you, like ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) or a State Rep., even an attorney (make sure you get a well known Immigration attorney if you do this).  But keep your hopes up and keep up the inquiries!
