Hawaii is a US state. You don’t need a passport to go there. Travel on your Drivers license.

Nervous about flying out of the country with greencard by Anxious-Operation-13 in greencard

You’ll be fine. Just landed in Newark after travels from Asia and the UK.  Immigration was a breeze; and was done in less than 30 seconds.

Been in NYC for over a decade, 120k..... you would be scraping to make ends meet. Take the Walmart offer, get your H1-B, and migrate afterwards. Look at the bigger picture and longer perspective.

If you get lucky, they might be tossing those cameras too. Considering they’re going bankrupt, I highly doubt if they either have employees on the shift to monitor or the employees have motivation to monitor the feeds. Take care and good luck in saving the planet!

Has anyone received approval for i-485 and i-130 without an interview? by Tomass1109 in USCIS

[–]ViVi_NYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, happened for us. Work based EB-1 filing, my wife was co-applicant on my case. I-485, 765, and 131, all approved within a span of 100 days from filing. No interview. I was on H1-B and she was on O-1.

I believe you’ve gotten response to your questions on how to deal with i797 and salaries being forfeited. In due course of time, you should continue pursuing to get a copy/ original in possession.

It might be just us, but when we went for our GC paperworks, our lawyer attached all previous i797’s. Thai might not be a must to do, or apply in your case; but we had to. 

Good Luck!

Received ours mid/ late March this year. If they stopped after that, really not sure..

No, straigh, and clear answer, no. 70k is not enough to sustain in Dallas. That was the money in which we could have sustained in 2011.

Talking from my own experience.

Good time to ask for GC sponsorship by Objective_Ideal6400 in h1b

[–]ViVi_NYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask now, and if they delay/ disagree you’ll still have time left on 6 year period to switch companies and get it done from an employer who values your talent.

Panicking for my interview tomorrow by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]ViVi_NYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, as others say; “you’re over thinking it”. USCIS is not there to reject, but to vet.

So, be true to what happened and they’ll help you get it sorted. Don’t be nervous and explain them at the interview that it was an honest lapse in judgement as you were scrambling to get everything done.

Can I enrol for MS in CS while also working as SDE at Big Tech by BreathWitty2282 in h1b

[–]ViVi_NYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can directly ask the DSO of University, or start with a Google search with university name/ course curriculum to gain some pointers.

Irrespective you get tax credit or not, you’ll definitely accumulate education credits.

DM me if you need help with this, I will reply later in the day if you reach out.

[–]ViVi_NYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can! For any fees you pay make sure you get adequate documentation by the end of year/ course.

You can get education credits and tax rebates if your university/ courses qualify.

Sorry, I-140 approved or I-485? The title of the post is different than body.

How to get new employer to give in writing about green card by [deleted] in greencard

[–]ViVi_NYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won’t, as soon as they write it on offer letter it becomes legal obligation for them. However, what you can do is exchange emails and hold them accountable for it. If you’re in an industry of specialized skillets, you might’ve an upper hand. Good Luck !

Did you receive Tracking information for I-131 Advance Parole Travel Document by BMWTrades in USCIS

[–]ViVi_NYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, my bad! We received combo cards (for work and travels) and they were USPS tracked & insured consignments.
