Middle initial in H4 approval notice
I have an additional middle initial in the name in the approved H4 petition for second 3 years term. This initial is not present in the passport. This was a skip by the lawyer who submitted the petition. My passport says Menakshi Kannan and approved petition says Menakshi B Kannan. Trying to get it amended, but meanwhile have an appointment at Delhi US consulate. Will this be an issue? The first term H4 is already stamped on the passport.

VISAS STAMPING ON HOLD
I am associated with India's Top IT Firm.
I had gone for H1 Visa Stamping on 6th October 2004.
Everything went fine with interview and fingerprints.
However i was refused VISA stamping stating that they needed some clearance from US.
I do not know what clearance they are talking about. They havent replied back as yet.
I do not know n what ground did they do so.
Also why havent they taken the pain to keep me and my company in the loop.
My company says its helpless.
Has anybody faced similar situations.
Kindly get in touch . [email protected]

Thanks

Social Security No
It's been allmost 2 months since I applied for my SSN so far I haven't received , During the course of time I have done some rearch and some of my findings are :


1)Since September 1, 2002, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has used a "total v erification" policy with respect to immigration documents. Social Security numbers will only be issued after completion of a document verification and status check, using the INS Systemic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program.

2) If SAVE Data does not show up the Applicants information .. SSA manually prepares a Form G-845, along with copies of the applicant's documents. This packet is forwarded to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for Verification.

2) At the Port of entry the I-94 information will not get updated directly to the computer,all the I-94 documents are sent to Central processing place for updation .So this will take couple of days for Information availability in SAVE database.

3) It was Suggested by some Immegration experts after entering the US SHOULD WAIT 15 DAYS BEFORE APPLYING FOR SSN, By that time SAVE database would have been updated with Relevant information, so SSA will not Initiate the Manual verification process.

4) It looks like Manuall verfication Might take any where between 4 to 12 weeks .
