Page Your Guides or an Immigration Chat Buddy to Come Join You in Our Chat Room:

Below is a list of immigration chat buddies: some people who can help and/or people who need help, as well as those who just like to chat about their own experiences or discuss immigration procedure, policy and current events. Browse through the list to find a buddy. But read these instructions first:

Note:
All times are PACIFIC TIME
When it is noon Pacific Time, it is 3pm Eastern Time, 2 pm Central Time, 1pm Mountain Time.

Note
: Including an email address when you page someone allows them  to contact you if they are unable to chat.

You may want to page more than one person, to make sure you get someone. Allow 10 minutes for someone to arrive.

To Page a buddy, Then Do Other Things While You Wait see Instructions at Bottom of Page *

Please be patient with a volunteer chat buddy if they are unsure of something; they are here to chat, make friends, and of course help, if they can. Conversations here are casual in nature and should never be construed as legal advice though.

REMEMBER! If you want to meet up with the person you page, you need to Log Into the Chat Room right after you page:

MINIMIZE YOUR SCREEN WHILE YOU WAIT: It may take a few moments for people to get to the room. If you want to do other things while you wait, you can shrink the chat room window and put it in the corner: position your mouse on the edges of your browser window until you see an <------>  arrow, then drag the edges of the window inward, so that the chat room becomes a small square in the corner of your screen. Make sure the corner that is showing is the one with the names of chatters in it, so you can see when someone arrives! :-)  (If no one is online, visit our active forums at http://immigration.about.com/mpboards.htm. Quick one-time registration required.)

When someone does enter, look at the 3 boxes in the upper right hand corner of your browser window. Click the middle box with the picture of two boxes overlapping and your window will go back to its original size: presto, time to chat!
