CONGRATULATIONS for you .....Enjoy the day......

Guys,

Just got the CPO text msgs.... sharing with you guys first!!!! Even my wife does not know about it yet :-)!!!!!!

Thankyou all for all the compassion you showed when I shared my story. Until my I-140 was approved - I never knew anything about the immigration blogs... Started googling around and initially found a crap load of forums where the discussion was loud and noisy - with very little information. Accidentally stumbled upon Q's and never had to check anything else! This is the only forum I ever registered and posted msgs.

I wish everyone of you waiting to be greened - all the best! Will keep watching this thread to congratulate each one of you when your time comes!!!

Congrats ragx08!!!

Gurus,

Is it safe to assume that approximately 60% of cases filed between 1/1 and 1/15 have already been approved?

I haven't heard of any RFE for Jan filers yet...everything seems to be straight approvals...

Thank you very much mesan123,essenel,Mysati..

Nope this would not raise any issues, since you are not violating any conditions.

Quick question:
With expired H1 stamp on passport can one travel to and from India on AP. No intent to use EAD, planning to continue on H1 but do not want to go for visa interview and stamping.
Would it raise any issues??

Thought of sharing this info that i just came accross at http://www.immihelp.com/immigration/...tting-ssn.html

An alien individual can't have both ITIN and a SSN. Therefore, once you receive your SSN, you will have to rescind your ITIN.

After you receive your new SSN, you will have to send a letter to the IRS ITIN unit requesting a rescind of your ITIN. The SSN will become the primary number and must be used for all future filing purposes. The IRS will void the ITIN. All prior tax information under the ITIN will be associated with the new SSN.

Send a letter to:
Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O.Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342

Enclose the copies of your ITIN and SSN.

Additional steps:

Inform all 3 credit bureaus to import the credit history associated with your ITIN to your SSN. 3 Credit bureau web sites:
http://www.equifax.com/home/en_us
http://www.experian.com/
http://www.transunion.com/

Thanks for info. Interesting to know that credit bureaus maintain credit history based on ITIN. I thought ITIN is used strictly for 'tax purpose' only.

Anybody here who received EAD/AP combo card but still not able to check AP status? I am able to check EAD online status (USPS picked it...) but nothing for AP.

Does this mean that I will getting separate AP and not EAD/AP combo card? Anybody in same boat?
