Date: 26 Aug 92 20:57:53 GMT
Organization: San Francisco State University







Since usually it takes one year to wait from sending the application
for citizenship to the interview date, is it okay to send the 
application after 4 years of permanent residence ? (instead of
the regular 5 years).
I heard that a lot of people had been doing this in the past to
save time to get the US citizenship, but somebody said that it's
not okay anymore (have to wait for 5 year before can send the
citizenship application, --> total time needed, 6 years !)
Thanks for any reply, please post so that others can share the info

A note:  when I arrived at JFK (when PanAm was still in operation) from Germany 
(on PanAm) and connected to another PanAm flight to the Caribbean, I had not 
only to go through immigration (maybe not as much of a problem as in Frankfurt,
but definitely VERY much slower, like 1-2 hours), but also through customs.
In spite of my connection, I was treated as if I was coming into the country
(i.e., I had to show my visa, return flight stuff, etc.).  So, Germany (and
Frankfurt Airport) are not alone in the realm of transit stupidity ...

I have been told that it may be possible to get H1 stamped
in the passport inside the US. Specifically, there should be
an office within the State Department which serves as 
a "consulate" in Washington, DC. True or false?
Has anyone tried to do that before? If true what is 
the name address, or phone number of the office in question?
Thank you,

  Does anyone know if the INS office in Charlotte, NC provides a 
walk-in service to get the EAD (employment authorization document)
for F-1 practical training?

  If not, how much time do they approximately take to process the
application by mail? I believe it varies from state to state.
I'd love to hear from someone who has gone through this in 
North Carolina, in the recent past (2-4 months).

 Any other pointers regarding this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Does anybody know what is the waiting period for Change of Status
from H-1B to Green Card in the Philadelphia area, recently?
I am getting various responses ranging from 4 to 8 months depending
on who I talk to or what time of the day I call the INS office in 
Philadelphia. I would greatly appreciate if someone who has recently
interviewed or received an interview call email me or post on the net
the dates that they applied, so it would be possible to extrapolate
within reasonable limits.

Thank you,

Hi,

I am looking for some information on what paper work is required to get
an H-1 visa. 

Specifically about eligibility.

1) Does one need a degree for any sort of work visa?

2) Does one really need a lawyer and will the lawyer make a difference?

3) How long will it take to get one ? and is H-1 the only possible work
   visa if one is not interested in immigration?

4) What are the list of documents required with the application and while
   going to collect your visa? 
   

I will be happy to post a summary ... as long as I get some information.

Thanks.

I don't quite understand your last sentence, Green Card 
is the card that identify you as a legal immigrant in
the U.S. (BTW, now the color is pink, therefore pink card :)
I think the 5 year reqirement starts upon entry to the U.S.
AS AN IMMIGRANT, or suppose an alien has already in the U.S.,
upon the change of status.  Therefore, even though you've
been in the U.S. for 5-6 years as a nonimmigrant, to apply
for citizenship you have to wait another 3/5 years (depending
how you get the Green Card) from the point you become an immigrant

I am quite sure if I am right, but just in case, can
someone correct/clarify me ?

(1) No action - let 'em Balkanize themselves into the Stone Age.

(2) Pat Paulsen - he's the only one with a sense of humor.

(3) Sure we should; that many fewer Iraqi planes to strafe anything.

(4) Less likely all the time; the EuroBureaucrats in Brussels have
    exhibited a passion for regulation that knows no bounds, and even
    the over-regulated Germans and French are starting to catch on.

    (5) The Chinese have historically been, for the most part, some of the
    more successful small-scale capitalists of any culture. Whether
    this translates into larger-scale capital-market shenanigans 
    remains to be seen, but I'd bet on their success, up to a point.

I know I will get flamed if I am wrong, but didnt Bush also promise to help the  
environment.  If he did make this promise, as I recall, can anyone out there  
point to any GOOD examples of where he did this!  

Another thing that irks me about Bush is the fact of where he tends to spend  
the majority of his time.  Gee lets watch the news and see whether Bush was  
playing golf, fishing, or just going on vacation today.  

And what is this capital Gains tax cut crap he is always pushing.  Lets just  
tax those who can't afford it a little more George.  How about this lil deal  
with increasing the interest rates on student loans.  It is bad enough that you  
have to go into debt and take out thousands of dollars in loans, but then he  
has to throw out a higher interest rate so that we can pay even more of it  
back!

1.  Nuke til they glow or do nothing.  Any other action will be
ineffective, and exemly costly in materials and lives.  Remeber Hitler

2.  Bush.  I trust Clinton as far as I can throw him and I can count on
Bush to do nothing.
3.  Perhaps, I think Saddam Hussien is smart enough to come up with a
way to bring that to his advantage.  IE load up on of the big russian
helicopters with windows and orphans and then move in on concentrations
of shiites and wait for us to shoot them down. Claim that they were
evacuating civilians.  Or hew would just ground the birds and use ground
crews.  Very low chance of effectiveness, but low risk.  Perhaps do it
as a sign of decisiveness.
4.  Doubtful anytime soon.  There have been to many problems recently.

	1) The clean air act.  No, wait he vetoed that.
	2) Joint effort with Canada.  No, didn't follow up on that

	I would have to say that I think that Clinton is the best choice for
me.  I have had enough of Reganomics.  I don't think that America can afford it
anymore.  
	My vote for Clinton comes from the fact that I am voting against George
Bush.  It is hard to trust a man that lies to you.  Honesty counts for a lot
today in my book.  That is something that George seems to be missing. 

			The education president???
	
	Did this mean that he was trying to do away with it?  All I have seen
of his education policy was a convention that did nothing and a lot of cuts in
funding for it.  TAP was cut PELL was cut GSL are harder to get.  I don't see
what he did for education but cut it.
	Don't give me the liberal spending congress as the excuse.  He could
have pushed for spending there.
	
			Where did all the money go???

	George Bush seems a lot more concerned for the affairs of people other
than those that elected him and pay taxes.  His foreign policy is great.  It
works wonderfully.  
	The question is who does it work for?  I don't see the U.S. prospering
from it.  In a time where domestic policy seems to be of rather great
importance to people he sends money to countries that will never ever pay us
back.  Then to cover the interest on there loans we borrow more money.  Anyone
else see the flaw in that logic.  
	
				Family Values???

	I am never sure what family values are.  It seems to depend on who is
using the phrase.  To me they are the things that your parents teach you.  Like
what is right and what is wrong.  To be honest.  The little things in life like
that.  
	George seems to have failed there.  Does anyone know what happened to
his son Neal?  I didn't follow all of it, but he was involved in the S&L scam
in Denver I think.  I'm not sure of where, but he was involved.  I don't see
what he was doing as something that good family values would lead you to do.

	So I am going to cast my vote for the person who hasn't lied to me
yet.
