I applied by mail to the DC embassy. I sent photocopies of everything and no problem.
The only thing to note though is that the DC embassy took a whole month to process my visa. I was going to Canada in September, applied in early july and received it somewhere in August. In the meanwhile when enquired about the status through email, they said they will delay it more now because I enquired. :) (and we think Indian govt. offices have bad attitude)
So I'd advise you to accomodate for the long time to get the Visa, if applying by mail.

I don't think walking in with 485 receipt will work. Call USCIS 800 number and check the status of FP notice, if required open a service request. I'm a july 2 filer, did not receive notice till 10/10 - I called on 10/12 the CSR told me that my FP notice is schedule to be printed and waiting for an appointment with local ASC. In a week time, I received a FP notice, and gonna for FP end of this month. Hope this helps
Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?

It has become quite a hassle to obtain a California state driver's license or state identification card ("ID") when you are a non-immigrant such as in F, M, or J status (students, students in vocational schools, cultural exchange students). Recently Immigration Customs and Enforcement issued a fact sheet on applying for a driver's license or ID card for non immigrants in F, M or J status. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Applying%20for%20a%20Driver%27s%20License.pdf). The fact sheet is helpful as it provides basic information on how to apply for a driver's license or ID card. It is not state specific but it does list all of the websites for all of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the United States.
The steps in applying for a driver's license or ID card in California are listed on the California Department of Motor Vehicles website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/id.htm). You must do the following in this order:
Obtain a Social Security number
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document
Pay the application fee
In order to obtain a Social Security number, you must go to a local Social Security office. You may find out more about the process on the Social Security Administration's website (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/). For those in F, M, and J status, you will find additional guidance by reviewing Social Security's electronic fact sheet, "Social Security numbers for non-citizens. (http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#3)"
The fact sheet issued by ICE is useful because it provides an email address to use in case the DMV does not issue the driver's license or identification card. It has been difficult in the past to get the immigration authorities to communicate with the DMV about a person's immigration status. In the fact sheet, ICE promises a one-to-two day turn around once they receive a request for information as to why a student's ID or driver's license was not issued. This is great news as students have suffered a great deal of frustration in the past waiting for the agencies to communicate with one another.

Advance Parole is not a valid document to obtain Driving License...
thanks for your quick reply.
What about using AP for status check? Will they accept that?

Hi,
I got a RFE on my 485 to submit all the W-2 and 1040. I do not have one of my W-2 form which my previous employer never provided me.
I want to write a covering letter regarding non availability of that W2. I have email proofs of my requests to the employer regarding the W2. I also want to attach a copy of the letter which IRS has sent me regarding the complaint I have filed regarding the same.
Could any of you guys help me with a format of the letter and also what all I need to include in that letter. I also need to know to whom should this letter be addressed.
Thanks for any help.

Hi all
I have been trying to use the POJ method to reach an IO but looks like USCIS has shutdown that option. After entering the receipt number it simply reads out the online status message and does not provide any option to reach a CSR.
Looks like eccessive status calls have caused this.
Has anyone still been able to use the POJ method today and if yes can u pls post the details ??
Thanks

Ok, guys so I am going thru my annual ritual of H1/H4 renewal. I have never tracked the H1 processing on the USCIS site in the past. This time I decided to track it. I notice that my wife's H4 has been approved (been over a week) and mailed but there has been no activity on my H1 ! Does that make any sense? Isn't H4 a derivative visa that is approved only if H1 is approved?
Anybody seen such odd stuff?

Generally, adjustment of status applicants must obtain Advance Parole (Form I -131, Application for
Travel Document) from USCIS prior to leaving the United States or else their applications are
deemed abandoned. H-1 and L-1 nonimmigrants (and their H-4 or L-2 dependents) are now exempt
from this requirement. Previously, they were required to present a receipt for their adjustment
application at the time of readmission to the United States following foreign travel. This final rule
eliminates the unnecessary burden of presenting this receipt since the application information in the
receipt is in USCIS databases available to immigration inspectors and adjudicators.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

I'm sorry let me re-phrase:
Is there a RISK to file 2 separate petitions (H4 Extension and H1) in the same time frame?
If yes, what's the option?
Should I say to my employer or lawyer (Company 'A') to not to file H4 extension for my wife because of the overlap of time frames?

1) As per the law, you and your husband both are supposed to leave the country the next day. But USCIS generally allows upto 30 days to leave. As per the law, he can not stay for a couple of weeks to look for another job. Both of you are supposed to leave the country.
2) Yes. You both will be out of status but you will not be accuring unlawful presence if your I-94 is valid. You will start accuring unlawful presence once the employer withdraws H1B petition. The unlawful presence is the one which will make your bar from the country for 3 years (after 180 days and under 1 year) or 10 years (more than a year).
3) No. It may not be a issue with GC processing. Under 245 rules, unlawful presence upto 180 days is allowed.
4) You have to submit your I-539 petition along with your husband's H1B petition. Your status is tied to your husband's status.
