[ainpdude]

Well Jpadz,

   I am not sure why they want to know my legal status ... and why it matters to them anymore... yes it is a AINP requirement to be 1 yr legal in US...
which was demonstrated with the documents on the basis of which AINP nominated me...

my passport h1b has expired and i had not included my renewed h1b notice in the pnp application when i sent pnp app to buffalo...

the current requirement from Ny is "evidence of my legal status in US" there is no 1 yr stipulation, plan to send the renewed
I 797 notice, copy of LCA and recent two paystubs...

I just want to know if the proof of status that CIC is asking for ainpdude's application has something to do with the 1 year US residency requirement of the Buffalo office or he really has to prove that he is still in legal status here in the US now.

ainpdude, please copy/paste the exact wordings of CIC's letter with regards to your proof of legal status.

Thanks!

ainpdude,

Why are they asking for your legal status in the US? Didn't you send proofs of visa when you applied to CIC under AINP? I am just wondering because I read in some threads that what matters more to CIC is that you have at least stayed in the US for 1 year and was admitted legally and not so much on your current legal status here in the US.

Thanks.

I agree

They can ask anything whenever they want to....that's how it works. Until and unless we put a step on Alberta's ground, they can ask anything....sorry for me being skeptical !! I've been there, done that ..and I guess ainpdude would agree with me ...lol. Yet another weekend and yet more chill pills....

[jpadz]

ainpdude,

Thanks for sharing.

I am just concerned because my passport has an expired visa too. I can't remember if I send a receipt notice to them when i applied to cic way back in april. Things don't look good now in the workplace and I might be laid off too anytime soon which will eventually make me out of status in the US.

Whew!!! That is definitely not a good news to me. I really thought that I just have to wait for passport request after our medical exam.

jpadz,

  my 2 cents

  i dont think there is any stipulation of being in status in the US as a condition for approval... i mean yes they want to make sure that applicant is legal
at all times in the US ... but should one move to home country for some reason and as long as CIC is informed my understanding is there should be no issues...
no wonder CIC always ask them to keep informed with address changes....

  i believe the reason they asked me is becuz passport visa has expired... shud i have added my I797 approval they would not have asked for it...
if you are doubtful with job and not sure if u have sent it, i will suggest you that while you are already in status to go ahead send a copy of h1 / h4
approval for you and your dependents along with LCA, paystubs and other h1b documentation...

  this should help in allaying them from raising any queries related to your h1b status...good luck
