DOS published a cable on biometric signature and affirmation of the DS-160 NIV Application.
I am a holder of a US tourist Visa which will expire on July of 2011. I will visit the US on March 2011 to attend a wedding. If I go I will only have 4 months visa validity. Can I still use it with less than 6 months valid stay? I will stay only for 2 months the most.
Visa validity is required only to enter USA, not to stay. The stay period is determined by CBP (at the airport) when you enter USA. The stay is noted on a document called an I-94 (Arrival Departure Record). Even if the visa expires, you can stay till the end of your I-94.
My cousin has invited me to his wedding, and I got married October 31 2009. The thing is this - my current passport is not in my married name, can I just apply for the visitors visa with my current passport and bring my marriage certificate as proof of marriage? My current passport will be expiring in 2012.
There is no US law (that I can think of) requiring you to change your passport right away. I think you can travel. But eventually you should get it all corrected. Change to married name is not required, but I think the passport should accurately reflect marital status.
I filled my PERM application at the beginning of May 2009 and my employer check the status of the application and it still says "processing". According to the processing dates shown in your website, they are reviewing August 2009, What that means? Why my application has not been approved or denied?
The information shows an approximation. Times vary. If your application goes into a review and audit, it can take 2-3 years.
How important is your enrollment in selective services when you appear in a citizenship interview. Will the interview officer ask you about why u did not register in selective service.
I believe this can be a problem. You should speak with a lawyer. You will need to establish that the failure to register was inadvertent, not intentional.
I recommend without reservation, the Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, P.C., to handle your company's immigration processing needs. For over 8 years the Canton Group has relied upon Rajiv and his team to help us navigate the H1-B sponsorship process for new hires and current employees. Mr. Khanna's "expert" advise is always on point and his team is a pleasure to work with. I was particularly impressed with the thorough and timely support we received in preparing our submission. And the results were fantastic. In every case, our application was approved!! Special thanks to Fran for her help on the our recent submission. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
