My Full documents are delivered at Buffalo on June 21st. I sent an inquiry through Buffalo Consulate website on August 20th asking about 2nd AoR. I received standard reply. Today (September 3rd) I received my full package back (without 2nd AoR). Inside notice states that I need to provide proof of legal admittance into USA (I am Indian national). I have 60 days to submit from the date the letter was created, which is August 03, 2010 (this date is stamped with a rubber stamp). This really means I have only 30 days, which is not a problem in my case.
What proof did I provide initially for legal admittance?
I sent my stamped visa in my passport which shows the H1B is issued for 3 years.
What proof Buffalo asked me to furnish now?
1. Entry & exit stamps in my passports (expired or current)
2. Documentation on date of admittance & validity (expired or current)
3. I-797 (H1B)
I hope this information will be useful for AoR waiters (like me) and future Buffalo filers.
A question from my side: Buffalo asked me to send the full application again. Do I need to sign and date the application again. The 4th page of Background document has entry for date & signature. Do I need to sign and date them as of today?
Hi..
I sent my application to Buffalo, I am worried myself that mine will be returned with similar reasons. Mine was received in Buffalo office June 7, I am still waiting for the second AOR

The only requirement listed here is to include a photocopy of visa - which is H1-B visa approval. This is the only document I enclosed, not the visa entry stamp (this has actually expired long time ago). Since they did not lsit the requirment that copy of visa entry stamp on the passport, I did not send it.
Did you send the copy of your H1B approval?
