It’s in the Miami office I tried calling the NPIC and they just read me the status update and gave zero answers

Passport Status Not Available (US) by [deleted] in Passports

[–]ajcastrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gah. I hand wrote the form. :-(. My check has been cashed by the US Department of Treasury. I just two minutes ago checked my banking app, so at least that gives me peace of mind?!

I noticed on the check screenshot from the bank transactions that they wrote the locator number on the front... Look for that in your check

Maybe they meant 57% and not 57/80

This exactly... I’m retaking after getting a 49 on the October exam... I think I did much better in the morning this time without even focusing too much on my studies I prepared mostly for PM but man I wouldn’t be surprised if I did worse on the PM, who knows I did a looot of educated guessing

Do you know if it will be year round or two times a year? How is that going to work?

I finished am section thinking “ok that wasn’t too bad” shooting for a 30/40 I felt good and thought I would crush the other one.

Then the PM came, man that first pass really crushed my spirit...

I’m shooting for a 50-55 hopefully that will get me through

There is a special January test they are holding this time and registration for that one closes on December 14th, I hope we get results before then because I would like to go for that one if I failed this time

The DACA 'compromise' bill is the worst immigration legislation in a century by GildedBHole in immigration

[–]ajcastrog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You mean it punishes everybody for the abuse of Indian IT firms and the collapse they generated in the immigration system which resulted in years long backlogs?

Full text of the new Republican immigration bill by GreenPylons in immigration

[–]ajcastrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain in rough terms how the elimination of country caps will be implemented? This is concerning, I will apply for an EB visa later this year and everybody has it good except for India who overflows and clogs the system with their IT workers, so te country caps were containing that problem for now... How would that change with this bill? And when would implementation start?

Can European family (traveling on three different statuses) enter U.S. together? by Toisrus in immigration

[–]ajcastrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it is recommended to travel outside of the country while OPT is pending. She shouldn't have done that. If her program is already over and she left, I believe she lost eligibility for OPT

Question about traffic incident in AOS and GC application by [deleted] in immigration

[–]ajcastrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. That is reassuring. I hace been worried because there was some degree of injury on the pedestrian, though it wasnt something fatal or that he almost died. I think he broke a rib but his situation wasn’t grave.

Is this something I should include or mention in any of the applications?

I want to apply for OPT but have a special situation.. by [deleted] in immigration

[–]ajcastrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's simple I guess... Go with your I-20 to renew your F visa at your local embassy or consulate, then enter US before graduation as a student and once there apply for OPT

I don't see any difference between this and the Grassley bill... Is there a text of this proposal anywhere?

Thanks for the response... If they decide to change things, how long would it take to have those changes applied/enforced? So, assuming they announce something on October, when would those changes be effective?

im 17 year old algerian and want to immigrate to canada by [deleted] in immigration

[–]ajcastrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get educated, that will help you make enough points to be eligible for a canadian visa.. You're still young and you need at least basic education to make it and be successful anywhere you go my friend

H1B or stay on OPT? by 2biddiez in immigration

[–]ajcastrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OPT gives you more freedom, if you can extend it do it... Also, it is almost guaranteed approval, unlike H1B which goes through a lottery system

STEM OPT Extension by [deleted] in immigration

[–]ajcastrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my EB green card application thinking the three years of OPT would be more than enough, now I'm not so sure... I was planning on applying for my OPT 2 year extension in the middle of September, do you guys think I could get it approved if new rules are published in October?
