I don't know if this question has been asked before. Is there a benefit for filing AP by paper rather then electronically. I filed EAD by paper to TCS and got the "Card Production Ordered" email yesterday (in 14 days) for myself and my wife. My friends who efiled just received finger printing appointment notification and no receipts. Is there same benefit with AP? Please calrify.

AFAIK, AP is considered only for emergency travel. That said, I think the officer was being over reactive.
As we all know, immigration laws are arcane. AP for emergency travel was ok when people used to get GC within 6 months of 485 filing. Now, when it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years to get GC after 485 filing, does it make sense to have AP for only emergency?! Crap...

All I can say is that everyone has their personal reasons for the decisions they make. This thread is information exchange thread for those who are looking to move to Canada. This isn't about why one should go one place vs another.
I welcome you to start another thread where ppl can debate whether they should move to India or consider moving elsewhere. In fact, I will be happy to discuss the options there. But I request ppl to not divert the focus of this thread.
Why don't you start a similar forum for "going back to India" ? I hate to burst your "bubble of hope" but Canadian population and job market is limited and the opportunities for professionals like us are limited. Why not consider going back to India and taking up some of the lucrative opportunities in middle management in the IT industry.
The Indian economy is booming and the salaries are excellent. You just need to make some adjustments with quality of life (pollution, traffic). Atleast its better than going to Canada, living in limbo while looking for suitable jobs for a long-time, sometimes even doing odd jobs just to make ends meet. I hate our Indian mentality that "every place in the world is better than our own country". Give me a break guys.
My plan of action is very clear: Go back to India and live there happily. If there are other opportunities in US then come back.
Cheers.

Same situation here guys.
E-filed AP & EAD renewal for me and my wife at TSC on Jul 07th.
Got soft LUD on Jul 16th for both applications right after sending supporting documents.
Got EAD renewal approval on Jul 29th for both of us.
Still waiting AP renewal approval for both us after almost 100 days pending.
Have to attend an important business conference in Argentina on Oct 22, paid for registration fees, flights, hotel, etc. almost Usd 10,000.00 in costs and USCIS National Customer Service tells me this week I have to wait another 65 days !!!!! They said TSC is processing AP applications of May 23rd!!!!! Can you believe that? Had to call again and another representative opened a SR last week. No actions from USCIS so far. Went to an Infopass appointment this week and got same reply "you have to wait your case is still under review and within processing times". Sent a complaint and support documents to USCIS Ombudsman yesterday. Let's see but at this point I don't know what else to do. This is ridiculous, having almost to beg USCIS to do their job right, when you paid high for it and they simply ignore you. As usual treating you as another number in the files. Simply very disrespectful!

Few things to add:
1) You need to determine sufficient coverage. If you have a mortgage and children, $500K is the minimum. A 30 year term non-smoker age 35+ should be about $350/year. You usually get a discount if you buy a policy for your wife too. If you try to purchase a whole life for $500K coverage, the premium will be ridiculous...probably $1500 to $2K/year.
2) I always remind myself of the KISS rule (Keep it simple stupid). If you want protection buy term insurance, if you want to save/invest buy stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc. Don't try to mix them.
3) To protect your familiy, think of the 3 areas: Death, disability and illness. Dying is the easy part...you die, your family gets a lump sum. The worst is that you DON'T die, but have a terminal illness (e.g. cancer), have no job and then incur substantial medical bills. Remember to cover all areas.

The applicant�s green card application has been pending since early 2005 due to the FBI name check. The applicant is a valued researcher at a U.S. pharmaceutical company. (page 39)
The applicant�s green card application has been pending with USCIS for approximately four years due to the FBI name check. The applicant is a researcher at a U.S. university and, because of the adjudication delay, the university and the individual have been disadvantaged in seeking grant proposals and funding. Specifically, the individual reports that he is currently working on federal research projects. The applicant�s inability to advance critical work for the project is a serious impediment to the university, its competitiveness, and the applicant�s professional advancement. (page 39)
In early 2006, the applicant applied for naturalization. USCIS informed the applicant that the application is pending due to the FBI name check. The applicant currently is a contract employee for a federal agency and was security screened prior to beginning that employment. (page 44)
The applicant�s green card application was filed in early 2004. The application remains pending due to the FBI name check. The applicant previously served as a security officer at a U.S. embassy and was subject to rigorous security screening for the position. (page 44)

Hi bitzbytz,
How much are you paying and for how many paystubs? Are you planning to go out of country for stamping? I am in a similar situation.
Did you got the visa stamping dates?
Thanks
what do you mean by fake pay stubs, can you please clarify.
I am in process of generating pay stubs for my wife by paying the employer tax...so that she is covered for the un paid H1 period.
Why will this cause problem

The poor response is because we are not together and we truly do not believe in our goal. With the assumption that 90% of IV members are Indians, I can safely say this is innate in our culture - we want to get the benefit without working for it AND once we get the benefit, we give a damn about the rest of "them". :mad:

..and why not EB2 to EB1 and EB1 to EB1-NIW..and so on...
because the backlog for EB3 is currently staring at close to 10 years and an EB2 requirement is around 5 years of progressive experience, which might enable many of them who would have progressed in their careers due to a 10 year wait for green card.
Why not EB2 to EB1 is because, EB1 is for exceptionally skilled people(athletes, doctors, multi-national managers(via L1A) etc). For EB2 candidates to be pushed to EB1, they need to exceptionally skilled which cannot be gained via experience but by acquiring skills which will place them in those categories.
If they can acquire those skills, then they automatically qualify for EB1 or EB1-NIW and can apply anytime by themselves. Note, EB1 does not need a labor approval too.
Hope that makes clear the distinction between EB1, EB2 & EB3. Employment-based GC applying lessons 101...of course this is the simplest one...:D

If both parents are Indian citizens, then the child is eligible for primary citizenship of India.
This is not true. The Indian citizenship rules were changed sometime in 2003 so that children are not eligible citizenship if the birth was not registered within 1 year or if the child has taken some other passport. These children can get Indian citizenship only after attaining 18 years and renouncing the foreign citizenship.
I think like many Indian government rules, the OCI rules have not been thought out properly.
