Essenel,
My attorney only used scanned copies of originals that i sent electronically so I would think that would be fine for secondary evidence as well. I dont think the USCIS requires any originals with the filing. They might ask for it later but that too is very rare..... atleast to the best of my knowledge.

Friends, I have a question post EAD/AP. Can I do any kind of job I wish to....
For matter of debate, can I work on 2nd job while on full time with current employer, as a PLUMBER if I wish to? or does that 2nd job while on EAD/AP has to be related to my current occupation or similar field?
No speculations please, I'd prefer someone who has more than "I think" answer. I am sorry. I know an attorney would be best choice, but just wanted your views.
@gc500, yes. In some cases, you need to check with your employer first, if they are ok with it. To make sure there's no conflict of interest and you are not actually using employers time to pursue other interests. All big companies have this listed, when we sign employee forms.
My fee has been debited from my account on 14th feb, but i have not received any receipt notices yet.
How long does it take to get receipt notices after fee has been debited?
Who will get the receipts, me or my lawyer?
Thanks for your help.
Yes, no problems.Quote:

No emails were received for spouse's and son's AP/EAD approvals. Online status also shows updates only my apps; dependents' apps are still under Initial Review. No SMSs were received as we did for the Receipt Notices.
Based on issues reported by other members, is it safe to assume that the dependents' approvals will follow soon and there is little cause for concern?
Thank you Leo07 and Nishant2200 for your response.
Correct me if I am wrong. What I understand is that if the current employer has no issues then I can work after normal business hours (at current employer) in whatever field I wish you. The area of work can be anything related or unrelated to what I am currently doing.
Worst case scenario and just a thought, in case I485 gets rejected, will this work (on EAD) in different or related field count against me in anyway?
YES

NO

Aside --Congrats to all those who got their freedom (GCs) and Best of luck to all who are preparing to reply for RFEs. Thanks to every one for all the helpful info being provided. My application was received today by USCIS , so now the wait starts. Brief Info: I came just before Y2K...both of us have masters from US univ. So f1 and multiple H1s... but I work E-V-C model so let's see how it goes
Friends,
Got my RFE Letter.
For me its
BC and Influenza
For my spouse
Just Influenza
I have my original BC during my time of Birth. I submitted that along with affiadiate. Now they are asking me to submit this kind of document again
lik
1. School Ceritifcate showing my name and my parents name
2. Medical records to show my name and my parents name
3. Census record with my name and my parents name
4. Hospital birth record with my name and my parents
Please advice. what should i submit. I dont have any other above document
Can i resubmit affidavit one from my mom and one from my dad. Please guide me with format also
I used this format for BC on a 100 Rs stamp paper. You can get affidavit from one of your relative

Check if you can get the College Leaving Certificate from India with the required info. I know it has DOB but leaving certificate generally doesn't have parents name.
Hello Indiaeb2,
Do you have 10th Certificate (CBSE issues one and it will have your father's name on it) even 10+2 certificate will have your father's name, also see if you ever had a voter's ID card issued in India or a Pan card (not sure how much help these 2 docs will do). Also, the last page of Passport has parents name on it. See if you can also include affidavit from your relatives (one from either father or mother and another one from uncle/aunt).
Are you familiar with "Ration Cards" in India, your parents may know about it. It has details of all family members entered in it. See if you can get a notarized photo copy of that document.
Are they asking for all 4 documents or just one of these 4 listed in your message?
wont the passport biographic page work? it has your parent's name. Also, AISSE 10th class marksheet has date of birth and may be parent name. I have to check. If you have a relative who can provide you an affidavit. That should work too.Quote:

All the passports I have ever seen...have parents name entered on the last page of the passport.
I can understand your dilemma and advice already many friends are giving good I see.
I would just add that please use a lawyer to represent you in this RFE. It will be worth it.

Affidavits from parents are not really acceptable. We can submit them as secondary proof. You need to get one more – from aunt, uncle, grandparents, neighbors, cousins (14 years old at least at the time of your birth), family friends, etc.
Yes Sirisha, you can ask your parents to scan it and email it to you. make sure it is clear and readable. Once they email you the copy, ask them to snail mail or courier you the original for your records.
One affidavit as a secondary proof from Uncle/Aunt, relative is good enough. Make sure the affidavit is in english even the rubber stamp or signature or anything on that affidavit should be in english.
Good idea. I will seeQuote:

I think in absence of hospital records, school certificate is the best possible option. If you dont have school certificate, ask you parents/relatives to get it from the school. I believe they can issue a new one with parents name etc. Just my 2 rupees.... Hope u get ur gc soon....god speed.

You seem to be well set :) To think we have to jump through all these hoops to prove we were born in a severely retrogressed country!Quote:

After I showed it to my attorney, she asked to either get affidavits or have the BC reissued. She suggested a reissued BC would be preferable if I am able to get it. The reason being the BC needed to show my full name. This was last year.
Thankfully, last Fall I was able to get my BC reissued with my full name. This one is bilingual but thankfully, it is obvious so I don't need any translation. Has anyone used a copy of reissued BC? Did you encounter any problems yet? Did you submit a copy of the old BC?
Thanks!
RFE are random. So do not worr much. My BC had full names of parents and mine. It was in English registered after 33 days of birth. I still got RFE for BC. There was no other reason mentioned.

Same here Pedro. We will see.Quote:

I think my original BC didn't had my name on it. I don't exactly remember but it was registered on next day so there's now way it had my name.
Original had dates, parents' name, etc. hand written and in local language.
About 2-3 years back, my father went to our Municipality and got new one with my name and everything. It is computerized and bi-lingual(Eng/local).
It has my original registration date but also has issued date as the current date. And it says Certified Copy and not the original.
Did had any problem.

Does it really take 30 days to receive the cards? The website also says that for AP the notice has been mailed but not for EAD.
