I receved my interview waiver letter in jun 2003 and also done with
medicals one week ago. CIC is also asking for current employer and
H1-B status and I do not have employment since last two and a half
month. I am here in the USA on H1-B.

What are my chances to get PR if I write CIC about my current employer
situation ?

I am thinking of moving to India because of job condition and to
maintain status in USA. If I inform CIC about address change to India,
how will it impact about getting PR, Is my file will transform to
India ??

What if I give address of my friend here in USA to CIC ?? and also,
when passport request comes here in USA and I am in India what should
I do ??

Please reply Mr. Miller.. I will really appreciate that.

Thanks,
Gracy.

What you'll do is up to you, but you cannot maintain your H1 status without
a job - as far as I know you should already be out of US or have pending
process for change of employer. Regardless what your status is you should
answer to CIC request truthfully with clear explanation of what your
situation is and why you remain legally or illegally in US if you decide to
stay there.

If you decide to go back to India then you should also notify visa post
about the change in residential address, although it is strongly advised to
keep mailing address in US. This will not affect your PR process at all.

As you well know it is illegal in India to send Indian passport out of or
into the country, so you will have to figure it out how to deliver passport
to US when requested and how to get it back. Buffalo will not mail passport
back to any address outside US or Canada.

Thanks Mr Miller for your reply. But I am confused. The following
extract is from the cicnews.com.
(http://www.cicnews.com/back/2003apr.htm#11)

Is this true?

"An individual residing in the USA with an employment authorization
would be allowed to submit the case to a visa office there. In your
case, you can also use New Delhi if you prefer.

The Buffalo IRPC has taken the position that the applicant does not
necessarily have to remain in status at the time that the application
is submitted or afterwards, as long as they had originally been
lawfully admitted to the USA for a period of at least 1 year."

What a heck are you confused about? What the extract you pointed to
has to do with your original question that has been fully answered by
Andrew already?!!!

Pete,

I have addressed my question to only Mr. Miller and not to you. Please
keep quite and do your work. You are not a immigration lawyer and
don't try to act like one. Remember it next time.

Gracy.
