I have also got affidavits alongwith.
Guys,
I need a small clarification. In South India, people rarely have last names, we have initials which is the 1st letter of fathers first name. Now when I got my passport I had my dads first name as my last name like many people. My question is "Should my birth certificate reflect the same, as of now my birth certificate my name is just my first name and in a separate field it has my dads name". Is it fine if it does not explicitly have my full name.
Any advise on this would be great

Please check the birth certificate thread for answers. More importantly, consult a competent attorney.Quote:

My attorney suggested one of two things:
1) From the authority that issued the original birth certificate, get an official explanation on the customs relevant to your birth place and why the birth certificate does not have your full name. In addition get affidavits from parents and relatives
OR
2) Get the birth certificate reissued with the name in passport and make sure that the name in passport used in other documents consistently ex, official degree, etc.
I chose option 2 and the new birth certificate was reissued in 1 week. I showed it to my attorney who approved the new version.
Do we need to fill our A**** number in dependent's I-693? Or Should we leave it blank for dependents?
I made it blankQuote:

I think I did not fill in a A# in my I-693 is this a problem? do I have to get the form filled and signed again?
Thanks,

Will i get the reciept notice directly sent to me?
1)I have no idea about L1 coz I've been on H1 the whole time.Quote:

3)I don't think its an absolute must to have the spouse's name on the passport.
4)I believe you can get vaccinations done now but you definitely don't want to do the civil surgeon until you get current.
How did you convince the municipal office to reissue your birth certificate with name corrected. For the life of mine, I couldn't do that. They are asking to do thru Gazette publication.

Thanks.
Hi Rich,
I had a misspelling in my name and my lawyer asked me to get an affidavit from my parents for that.
Just get an affidavit from your parents or two other people who were old enough at your birth and can vouch for it. That should be sufficient, as far as I know.

My case is little, I have all names little wrong, mine, dad's and mom's. So thought if I can get the BirthCertificate corrected, I don't need to append that many affidavits for each name and confuse the hell out of the person looking at my record ;)

At first they said no, but after they heard why i needed to have it reissued they agreed to change it. As per the custom in my state, it was clear what my full name was: my given name, my dad's first name, my last name - this is standard assumption and custom in my state and hence they used to just print baby's first name only with the other other two parts being figured automatically. All my documents had my full name in a consistent way. Once they heard that this wasn't the custom in US (in US, parents can name their child utterly different from their own name, including last name, if they wish) and that the full name needed to be present on the birth certificate, they changed it.Quote:

Since you are filing on your own. Do u require to send tax returns, W2 and pay stubs?? My lawyer is not asking for those documents and also insists that we should not send them more papers than they require.
This is an amazing forum and I appreciate the service this forum provides to GC community.
I have a question -
I recently found that my Job title in LCA(H1B) is different form the Job title in PERM(PD 12/2009). Will this be an issue? I have reached out to my attorney but I have not get any response yet. I thought I will check with experts here.
Thanks a lot for your help.
If this thread is not the appropriate place for this question I request the moderator to move it to appropraite thread.
Let your attorney know about it. If yours is a good corporate lawyer they will file an H1B amendment. Not a big deal. Remember, labor-cert is for a future employment(with promise).
If the current and future employment are same/similar then your case becomes slightly stronger/more convincing.

Again sorry to post in this thread. I will move this to appropriate thread.
A week ago my lawyer sent me a questioner for the I485 filing, I will filled those documents. I filled them in a 2 hours sent them back, I am done with my I693 packet, and Photos on next day. My birth certificate affidavits are ready long ago.
So I have time and no reply from attorney, so I filled out I-485, I-765, I-131,G-325, and G-1145 for me and for my wife by last Saturday. And I am tooooooo much exited and ready.
I called my lawyer and told him that I am ready with documents, and is there any thing else that I can do. He said “Filling immigration forms is our job, we will never ask client to fill immigration forms. We will fill them and will send it to you for review.” ROFL! Every body is exited and busy with work, now I am job less, want to do some thing for my I485 but nothing is there for me to do!
I have been coming to this forum for last 6 months. Thought I would add info which maybe helpful to others.
Below is my experience. Looked up the list to find doctors in my area. Found 3 doctors. Called all of them. Felt good about one of them which even had automated message on documents required for I693 etc. They only take check or cash. Do not take Insurance.
I asked them about immunization. They told me if I don't have the record then I would need the shots. I asked them do I have to get all the shots. They said no based on my age I only need MMR, TDap, And chicken pox. I remember that I had to take MMR prior to joining US university. Called their health service department. They located my file and info which is now 10 years old and faxed the document to doctors office.
Went for my physical and blood work for HIV and syphillis and TB test. During the first appointment doctor gave me the option of getting an appointment with my GP and getting the shots which maybe covered by my insurance or get the shots at their office for $257.00 and I would require a followup visit to get the remaining shots MMR 2 and 2nd shot for chicken pox which would be another $170 dollars.
I requested them to write a letter to my GP listing the shots I need. I called my GP to setup an appointment. I gave them the letter and got the necessary shots. Took the record to doctors office 2 days letter and got the paperwork done.
Total Cost:
Physical for me & Spouse $120/ea subtotal $240.00
Shots at GP: office visit $25/each subtotal $50.00
Immunization is 100% covered under my insurance.
Total cost : $290.00
For others in similar situation it maybe best to check with your GP to see if they will administer the shots.
Best of luck.

For filing I-131,what should be expected date of departure?I do not have any plans to travel outside USA in near future.Should I just put a date that is most probable?But it may change depending on different factors.What to do?
You can mention any date after 2-3 month from when you apply. It is just informational and doen't bind you in anyway.
