hi sanju and others
is this true?
Because if the dates go back before the CP process is over, you will be stuck without work authorization card and I-131
the reason i'm asking is this: when i applied my PD is current. how can 485/ead/ap not be processed, when i know that the date i applied it was current, though it retrogressed after i applied?
Whatever you do, please do not go for CP. Because if the dates go back before the CP process is over, you will be stuck without work authorization card and I-131. Keep in mind that you will not be able to change job even after applying for CP. This is what I think. I am sure others on the forum will share with you more about the difference between CP and AOS.

GC is for better working conditions while being here in US. If US says that you can not work here anymore, then clearly , only option is to go back to your home country.Lot of people want GC so that they have freedom of changing jobs,starting their own business,spouse work etc. Desire to serve home country or not has nothing to do with it.

Hi All,
I filed my I485 in 08/05 and my labor date is 07/05 in perm. My I140 got approved in 2007.
I was in bench for around 6 months in 2008 starting from Jan 1st to 06/20th. I took full time position in last week of 06/08 and continuing in the same job. I got RFE on my I485 and asked for employment verification in 12/09. My attorney replied with presnt employment letter and applied for AC21 also at the same time. Now i got another RFE asking for last 5 years employment letter, w-2 forms and tax returns.
Can some one please let me know how i can handle the period that i was in bench in 2008.
Thanks,
Chandra.
Facts:
Labor: July 2005
485 File Date: Aug 2005
I 140 Approve Date: <Mon> 2007
On Bench: Jan 2008 to Jun 20th 2008
Working with new employer since: June <last week> 2008
RFE: Dec 2009 (for EVL) filed AC21
second RFE on last 5 yr employement, W2 and Tax returns
Instead of Assumtions, answer the following questions may be others can give some guidance before you talk to your attorney
Questions:
1. When did you start using EAD
2. If you were on H1 before Jun 2008, then did you file taxes for the appropriate amount for 2008. if not you have an option of tax amendement and you can talk to your previous employer and if he does not agree you can file a case on him and he has to do back wages and that if fine according to law.
If you filed taxes appropriate to 2008 then you are just fine
talk to your attorney about back wages and he can send a letter to your previous employer or you can talk to your previous employer in case you missed taxes in 2008 assuming you were on H1 else if you have used EAD for half the period then you should be able to show taxes for first half.
Please provide all the facts before some one can help
good luck and keep posted with updates

Thank you La_guy and others....
Do they ask me regarding this at the POE? In what forms do I have to fill the info? I am not sure, as one of you suggested, if they ask we will tell them. But does this record appear in their computer screen and if we did not mention to them, will it be treated as another crime?
God please help me , It's THE WORST thing ever I did and been trhu a painful experience
Thank you guys........
If not expunged, it will FOR SURE pop up immediately they punch your name in. You certainly can not lie there. You will be deported. If expunged, you still have chance BUT NOT to lie..If the form ask " If you have ever been arrested" say yes and as others suggested have all your documents ready from court but make sure you have all originals and notarized documents if required for all court orders pertaing to your case.
Good Luck..

500000 legal immigrants, even if u assume 4 per family , ONLY 125000 houses can be sold...(even if 50% qualify for a loan.. thats just 62500 houses sold.. last i read..there were millions of homes for sale)
if the average cost of the house is 250000, thats additional 31.25 Billion $ in credit borrowing... where is the money?
Average cost of house nowadays is 200k.

Couldnt agree with you more - absolute magic from ghalib
Actually, the lyrics are from Shahryar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhlaq_Mohammed_Khan_'Shahryar'
Just wanted to give the credit to the right guy. Most ppl think of only Ghalib when it comes to Urdu poetry. There are many others too.
And of course, Khayyam's music and Asha's haunting voice contributed to magic too.

I diagree with you...Indian film Industry have very good directors, They are no way inferior to Hollywood. Firstly you can't compre them with Hollywood because they have differen audiances...Hollywood have money power so their movies are technically better, but as far as quality of movies Indian film industry is very good...It caters to all tastes. There are Shyam Benegal, Basu Chaterjee, Govind Nihlani for people who like simple senseful movies there are Karan Johar, Yash Chopra, Mani Ratnam for expensive, hip hop movies. There's RGV, Hirani, Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra for different story based movies. In my opinion caters to wide variety you need to pick up by your taste...None of the Amitabh Bachans did any thing for slums,Danny Boyle Made a very good movie.I think the fact is Rehman is a prodigy no doubt about that, he makes very good music we all know that.As compared to Hollywood directors Bollywood directors are subpar with the exception of very few good ones. Movie business is controlled in India by few families,what ever the movies they make rest of the people will watch it.I dont want to open the bollywood can of worms.Movie directors in India are usually sons of Bollywood actors or some one related to Bollywood.
I am sure none of the Bollywood directors would ever be able to make good movies,they dont have a global outlook,neither the needed juice. usually Bollywood directors are some low key high school drop outs who have connections with mafia.
If some one who is reallly talented is not going to make it in Bollywood,Southern Film industry is even worse.

This is the latest on the Visa capture bill.
This thread is to track the progress of S.1085 legislation.
http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:1:./temp/~c1111gR7Z4::
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-1085&tab=committees
This recapture bill was introduced in the US senate and it has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It has ten members with 6 democrats who usually favor immigrants , including the chairman Sen. Charles Schumer, one of the sponsors of the bill. It will clear the committee, no doubt, but how fast?
IV should focus on this legislation getting passed. It has provisions for the unused visas in any category for the oversubscribed quota. This will definitely help reduce the backlog.
Lets focus on getting this bill passed. It is for the people who play by the rules and obey the laws of the country. Who pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Lets try to get this bill passed and capture all the VISAs lost due to the inefficiency of DoL and USCIS.

not to be pessimistic, nov 3 is really close and I am thinking it may not happen. Here is what i have done and am planning to do..my recd date is july 30th and my travel agent is nov 21st.
1) already expedited the cases by phone.
2) just faxed the letter to local congressman.
3) have an infopass appt for the end of the month.
4) have a letter ready for the ombudsman, will send it right away after the infopass appt.
Doing all this, i am still not sure if I can make it to this trip or lose $1800 by cancelling my tickets.
Me too !! My ticket were for Nov 3 and i am waiting for the last 54 days ..just requested USICS to expediate the AP based on financial loss ...

It is unlawful for an alien admitted on a non-immigrant visa to own a firearm(with one exception).
So, if you want to own a gun, read on....
The case where this 18 USC 922(g)(5)(B) was mentioned elaborately was United States vs ELRAWY.
And it clearly is re-affirmed what is stated in the law on Unlawful acts(Sec 922) for FIREARMS, that '(g)It shall be unlawful for any person - (5) who, being an alien - (B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(26)));
The case: http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/....04-20123.html (http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/448/448.F3d.309.04-20123.html)
The case clearly notes that a person on Adjustment on status remains on the last admitted visa status until the Adjustment of Status is approved. So there is no ambiguity there.
A person even after he has applied for adjustment of status can remain in the country, but for ownership of a gun, he falls back on his visa status.
However, the law clearly states an exception for the person who is an alien that is on a non-immigrant visa - the (y)(2) part:
(y) Provisions Relating to Aliens Admitted Under Nonimmigrant Visas. - (2) Exceptions. - Subsections (d)(5)(B), (g)(5)(B), and (s)(3)(B)(v)(II) do not apply to any alien who has been lawfully admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa, if that
alien is -
(A) admitted to the United States for lawful hunting or sporting purposes or is in possession of a hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States;
Link: http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?getdoc+uscview+t17t20+535+12++%28%29%2 0%20AND%20%28USC%20w%2F10%20%28922%29%29%3ACITE%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 (http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?getdoc+uscview+t17t20+535+12++%28%29%2 0%20AND%20%28USC%20w%2F10%20%28922%29%29%3ACITE%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20)
In short, apply and get a Hunting Licence from the State DNR., take the safety courses and then apply for the State firearm ID.
And, if your licensing authority knows about this exception(hunting) in the law, they will issue you a license.
If not, they will reject your application. If so, You might want to bring this section to their notice.

Getting Bernanke/media support will never be an alternative to IV efforts. They will, at best, complement it.
I stand corrected that we still need to send letters and faxes to Senators and Bush. But a little push from the Fed won't hurt IV's efforts, would they?

I know this is not releated with Immigration. If you dont want to answer, that is fine. Just ignore this.
I have money crunch in US. I have accumulated huge debt in my CC. In past I have sent some money to India, but now when I ask my parents to send it here, they tell it is not possible without losing 30%. This is what they heard from my bank. Any Idea on how to get money from India from my own account to which I have sent from here.
It's simple.. Find some one in your friend circle who wants to send money to india and tell him that you will transfer rupees to his bank account in india and ask him to transfer dollars to ur account here.
Simple.. that's how i did last time..
good luck to get our of debt..

Hello all,
Here is my status
I am currently using H1(3 year extension since I140 was filed) and wife is using EAD. And I also have EAD and approved I140. I have filed for my I-485 (2005 PD) with my current company in Midwest in July 2007.
I have an offer from a company in California. Is it OK to accept the offer.
1. Does it matter if I change the geographical region
2. Also my field of work does not change. Only thing that might change is my increased roles and responsibilities and my designation for example from Senior Staff Engineer(Company X) to Principal Staff Engineer (company Y)
I would like to know if Would be in trouble or if my GC would be in trouble having waited from 1997(F1) until now.
-thanks

I am not sure any one one of the people who made the above posts have their GC......... I would actually agree with mihird.
if you plan your life, you can overcome most obstacles, not having the GC included. it is folks who do not plan long term that are in trouble
Have it... and
-> Solid confidence of generating Income by...
-> jumping jobs if you dont like it / payraise,
or you got fired inspite of planning.
-> A side/primeline business if you need a career switch.
-> Buy house and dont get forced to sell house when u loose H1 job
-> Have "NO H1" job options in the list
-> Have your spouse eligible to work
-> Reap more entertainment...
-> No restrictions on International travel due to visa-
revalidation,renewals fear. Dont giveup for your closeones lifetime
events, attend n involve in it.
-> Now you have confiedence, so buy GOOD,BIG house and have luxury
time with it, kids room , entertainment room,pool , gym etc.,you
wont get this when u r in apt-living-dueto-h1-job-loss-fear.
-> Now with better house you may have short commute to your job , a

-> Or if you are a moving person, then move around the nation every
year with new jobs and enjoy the world.

It would be great if couple of members from Cincinatti area could pay a visit to Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio. This would drive our point further plus we can also use the 800,000 number that is floating around
