Well I just got my visa renewed I am finally ready to do this. I am wondering if I should get help from a lawyer as someone suggested before. I am a little reluctant to go ahead and put my non-INS admission number into the INS field in case that could somehow count as "false" information. But I do have an email from a named member of the ISP telling me to do exactly that. What would it involve if I got a lawyer to help? Would they fill out the form?
Looks like the INS number thing is a non-issue from now on. They have a completely new form now that has a field specifically for the I-94 number so I can fill everything out myself without fear of getting into trouble.
I noticed the new form requires information about your employer though...that's kind of weird imo. Anyone know what they want that for? I don't have any reason not provide that info, but I hope they don't go contacting people's employers.
It was worth the fist fight I had with ISP over (y) then. They tried to pretend that (y) did not exist a few years ago.
Glad everything went well for you.
Congratulations!
Thank you for keeping us updated. Hopefully this thread can help some others going through the same process.
