Thanks for your replies. I'm 99% sure all documents should be OK since I reviewed them maybe 10 times before finally mailing them. About extension, the customer service rep told me it's technically not possible. I'm not sure what she meant by "technically" and she sounded more like an answering machine with a few pre-organized lines and sentences, and she wasn't very helpful. So funny, at one point I asked her :"Excuse me, is this a real person I'm talking to?" and she said :"Yes sir!" with a little tingle in her voice. :D
I'm going to try customer service once again tomorrow & see what happens. Maybe I get lucky and talk to someone a bit less similar to a Humanoid!
gc_chahiye: Thanks for the technical advice. I'll check with my attorney tomorrow. You said 30 odd days. That is more or less 60 days, and it's more than enough. Meanwhile, I'll prepare the work experience letter and hope for the best, although whatever has happened to me in this country, has been kinda ... well, the worst.

wow ! this is a strong case, after 6 month is over, you can easily file lawsuit on him, consequences can be real harsh on him, he can barred from filing any more h1s, greencard, maylose business license and thousand of dollars for stress and blackmailing ! hey speak to your lawyer after AC21 kicks in !
I am too in same boat, just numbers here and there. Infact my employer has done this to all his guys. He is minting... man!!! yours is atleast asking for contract, mine just said give me flat cash, n no paperwork. he says he will return, but you know who returns.
also he changed name of the company and so all the approved 140s has to be reapproved so all are again stuck.

TIme to make this site a paid site with tightly controlled information access and forum features available only to the members.
What is the purpose of increasing the membership is a majority are non contributing members. Doesnt money buys us much more then the membership numbers? Making this site a paid site will drive away most members but the remaining will provide a continuous revenue stream.

Hi
In NYC (if it's closer for you) consulate you get the renewed/New Passport back on same day. I renewed my Kids passports there got back on same day.
For myself, I renewed in SFO back in 2001 and got them back in 5-7 days.
Hope this helps you make your decision.

We invited our in-laws last September and it was not easy for them to get the visa in the first interview. They got denied with the reason 214(b) without verifying any Indian documents. Infact, my father-in-law was a government servant and he was still employed at the time of interview. My wife was on EAD and I was on H1-B and I was inviting my in-laws to USA.
We then asked a letter from the senate's office requesting the visa officer to issue them visa and explained that they have strong ties with family members back in India and have bank balance and property. It was surprise that nothing was asked in the second interview and they could get a 10 years multiple entry visa. This time my wife invited her parents.
In all this, we wasted time, money and were very tensed since my wife's due date was approaching and it was only a month far.
Folks,
I'd like to know if any of you invited your parents while on AOS. Last time I invited my in-laws I had H1-B et al....now we are on AOS and my wife is sponsoring her parents. We are on AOS. I do not have a job currently so I can't get an EVL and my wife has and she is inviting and the I-134 is also from her...we have EADs valid till late 2010....she had her F1 valid till Oct 2009 but she is working on dependent EAD.
So do you think there could be any potential problem.....Last time I had sponsored my in-laws but they were questioned a lot at the embassy....so now my wife will be sponsoring ...I hope there are no potential problems.
Path 2 USA do not mention anything special for EADs/AOS et al....
Thanks,

however, i will appreciate if you can tell me if these are the only required
1. Measles/ Mumps/ Rubella - Adult
2. Varicella
3. Hepatitis B - Adult
and the following tests
1. Tuberulosis - Tubercolin Skin Test
2. Serologic Test for Syphilis - RPR Screen
3. Serologic Test for HIV Antibody - HIV AB Screen
They keep changing the requirements. I found this link, USCIS - I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=eb1f3591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD). Why don't you check it out there. One question I have is, once the date is current, do you need to resubmit yours if you had submitted it more than one year earlier?

Hi Everyone,
We r in a totally confused state of H1,H4,Visa & passport. I would be very gr8ful if u can help.
The thing is my husbnad is on H1 & me on H4.
His H1 was getting expired in Jan07 & has been extended till May08.
His passport is getting expired in Sep07(the 10yrs validity will be over & we will need to get a new passport plz mind new not renewed).
We r going to India in Jan-Feb07 & would like to get the Visa stamped there. Now the US consulate says that you present a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of anticipated stay in the U.S. i.e May08 in our case.
Questions:-
1) To take an appointment in India we need to get the HDFC bar code, for which we need to present the copy of first page of passport. Can we take an appoinment on the basis of old passport & then carry both the old & new passport at the time of interview?
If yes, on which passport will we get the stamp? If only the old passport then do we need to take another appointment later to get the new passport stamped.
2) Do we need to take seperate appointment for my husband & me to get the stamping done in India ?
3) Will appointment be available in Feb or we r too late ?
We have not yet sent the application for new passport. Not getting a clear cut solution for this situation we even wrote to the US consulate but no relevant reply.Plz suggest what is to be done.
Thanx in advance.:)
Thsi is my suggestion based on the personal experience. May be it's helpful t o you.
You can get your new passport in USA from your nearest Inidan Consulate. The form is very simple - may take just a few hours fill. Indian consulate takes about a week to get the new passport.
I have got new passport (after 10 years of expiry) for whole of my family from Indian Cosulate at San Francisco in 7 days. This process is really simple. As the Visa appointment dates in India are available at short notice, you may have enough time to get new passport and then ask for Visa appointment if you apply for the passport in next few days.

As per my attorney, even if you enter the country on AP, your status can still remain H1, if you are using it to work (instead of EAD).

Bill Gates testified in front of most of the important senators who wrote this bill. Even he could not make a difference. There is nothing in this bill he had asked for.
Not IV or Lobby group that IV has, can it really make a difference? There is as much as we can do and everything else becomes uncontrolable. Even IV core group are normal people like us but with connections more than us. But they have their own regular job to do as well.
So I guess we can only try calling the senators and hope they will change their mind and hope for the best. Expecting and/or trusting IV or Lobby group will really help would be sacrificial.
I am not questioning what IV does. The core group really does what is their in their hands and we should appreciate that.
Good Luck!

[QUOTE=copsmart;289590]My case is little bit different.
EAD was approved on August 11th and I got the card in mail couple of days after I received the email. But, I haven't received the approval notice for my EAD yet. The status on the EAD shows that the approval notice was sent on August 13th. I had no issues with AP though.
Am planning to apply paper based AP, can you give the list of docs required for the same.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. Its a very good point that the medical wil get delayed as i have mine scheduled next thursday.
Will see if there is any work around.
Also... You can submit your husbands work papers as you are a dependent.
If you are an engineer then definitely you should have an ecnr but you can have what ever is on your current passport
I dont know about 31 myself. i will update this posting if i go to the consulate tomorrow.

Hi friends!
I have applied for my I-485 in June 2007.
This is what i got on 29 Nov-2007
On November 29, 2007, we mailed you a decision on your I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
and on Dec 11th my status changed to
On December 11, 2007, the post office returned our last written notice on this case as undeliverable
My attorney got letters that my wife and daughter got denied as mine was denied..i am runing out of time and still do not know why it was denied..
we are at the same address where we got our EAD's and AP's and we have been checking the mail box every day to find out the reason.
if somebody who knows or gone through the same please share with me what you did and what happened.
thanks a lot.
Ramana.
If your atterney got letters of your wife and kid, yours should had been sent to him too. It is possible that the address on your 485 has some mistake. Ask your atterney to check that with USCIS, and ask the decision be sent again. Your atterney probeblely has done this already.
People normally got a RFE or Intent to deny befor final decision. If the address on the 485 was wrong, your atterney wouldn't get those either. His not responding could result in abandenonment denial. It looks like there is a good chance that is what happened.

Very interesting flower, great colors and shapes. I don't have a suggestion for the DOF problem, but I think this is a case where the flower is so unique I'm not thinking of the technicalities very much. I like the second picture, but it'd be great to pair it with an "overview" shot to understand how the whole flower/plant looks.
Don't apologize for your nice flower pictures - in that case I know one or two that would have to do the same for birds, or baseball, or semi-nudes, or [insert favourite subject here]... :p

To Whom It May Concern:
My H1B expires in July 2010 so I would have to start the PERM process now. In this current economic downturn it seems that it will be extremely difficult to get PERM certified. I also have a Permanent Residence to Canada. My current US employer would be willing to let me go to Canada for 1 year (and work for him remotely) so my H1B clock resets and then reapply for a fresh 6 years of H1B after I came back.
What would be your advice: go to Canada and wait 1 year and then come back on H1B and apply for GC once things get better or risk it now and start PERM in this time? Please note that I live in New York City so it is even harder to get PERM as there are so many people here. I would like to apply in EB2 category.
Please advise.
Thank you so much for your time!
If I were you...I would start the PERM now and if anything goes wrong, I would go to canada and come back after a year. If I get the PERM approved, I dont have to lose anything.
You never know. When you have back up why you worry.

Eb3Retro, Did you sign G-28 initially for your (previous employer's) attorney to represent? if so how did you change the representation?
i have not changed attorney so far, just wanted to retain the same guy until i extend my EAD this time, (which is pending and awaiting results anytime soon) , once this is done, i am going to file G28 and self file AP myself. My attorney charges exorbitant fees for doing this, just for the safety sake, just for ead extn i used him...few more days and i will say thanks for all his services..

NRE accounts--> interest earned is not taxable in India but has to be reported in your 1040 here.
NRO accuont--> earns very high interest rates (was 11%) just a few months ago. There will be TDS but you can file an income tax return and claim the amount that they deducted above what you would be taxed.
For eg:- if your total interest earned is 100,000 they would withhold upto 30% of it (may be lesser depending upon your situation). When you file your returns your total income is only 100,000 which is below the taxable limits and therefor you will be returned all that was witheld. Only those with interests >180,000 per anum will really lose money.
Some people split accounts and try to hide interest income. This is not advisable if you ever want to repatriate the interest income. Once you have payed required taxes on the interest you can repatriate any amount of interest income to the US. Many people use this as a source of regular income.
