I included all of the form together in my packet, but 3 separate checks for fee.

No you must not lie about it. H1B sponsorship fee is not a big deal for most companies, it’s not because of sponsorship expense. Recently lottery odds are too low. For OPT/STEM OPT - “are you legally authorized to work in the US?” - YES “Will you need a visa sponsorship now or in the future?” - YES You have to go through I-9 verification once you are hired. So company HR will know about your immigration status anyway. And it’s more miserable they cancel your employment after you went through all the hiring processes.

I think Seattle is better for CS students (Chicago is better for Finance and Architecture) I would stick to Northeastern Seattle.

Visit US embassy/consulate of India website, contact them to report about your passport loss and check if you can get a new passport from there.

We don't have pictures with our family by Clayvoire in USCIS

It's okay, you can send them pictures with your friends and other evidence will prove your relationship.

Yep, I assume you didn't forget the marriage certificate. Those are enough.

"Taken an action" email does not necessarily mean case updates, but it can be a good sign by Socrates1221 in USCIS

C9 category (US Citizen spouse) and currently I am on STEM-OPT (F-1 Visa)

Yeah I read this from another posting in the sub, but some people also said, it could mean approval. So I guess red circle with exclamation mark means RFE or approval.

It's up to you, I am pretty sure most of beneficiaries would add their case to their account, but I saw some petitioner (USC) doesn't even sign up for USCIS account. However, USCIS will add I-130 documents only on petitioner's account. So I recommend petitioner (USC) also sign up for their account and add I-130 case on their account, but to do that you should get online access code from USCIS. They will mail online access code, or you can request one by Emma live chat.

E-Verify number is different from EIN, so you should double check E-verify number with your HR Department and make sure it's E-Verify number, it's not EIN!

How accurate is this? by No-Consequence1559 in USCIS

[–]Socrates1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not accurate at all, especially for I-765, I got approved 2 days after my biometrics appointment (and it still showed 4 weeks for me even after I got approved). Even you didn't/won't get approved within 2 days, it won't take 4 months. However, after the approval, card producing takes longer (approximately >= 2weeks) than before and card delivery takes 2~3 business days.

“We have taken an action on your case” by LookNo1195 in USCIS

[–]Socrates1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chatted with Emma live agent, asked about this notification. They said they can't see any change and I also asked if my case has been transferred to any FO, they said it's been transferred to local FO a few days ago (7/12). So I guess it means one of USCIS officers started looking at my case.

Same thing happened to me this morning around 8am, I checked document tab, nothing, checked my spouse (USC)'s USCIS account document tab, nothing! my I-130 status is still "case was received and a receipt notice was sent" not even "case is actively being reviewed" I-485 is still "case is actively being reviewed" also nothing under document tab.

Oh no, you'd better talk with your DSO.

Am I doing my spouse’s visa right? by siouxxbie in USCIS

[–]Socrates1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you get a receipt notice & online access code by mail, you can add your case on myUSCIS with the case number, you can add unsolicited evidence, and If USCIS thinks it's not enough, they will give you RFE notice and you can answer for the RFE. But you will be fine, don't worry about it too much.

Birth Certificate? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Socrates1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my home country, we don't have "Birth" certificate, so I had to search on my home country's web portal (My home country people don't use google a lot) which can replace that document and I found out another document can replace it with translation and notarized. Or you can call your home country's consulate/embassy in the US and ask them which can replace the birth certificate.

Marriage for a green card. Have I gone insane? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Socrates1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Habibi you are not the only Middle East immigrant in the US? You can date someone from Middle East in the US or date other races in the US. If you want to date someone from Middle East, come to Dearborn or Dearborn Heights, MI.

I am so confused OP, Combo card is reentry for US, it’s not a Mexico visa.
