While it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test, they have to include their world-wide income in the tax return.
IRS don't have time to chase, if world-wide income of parents are not reported. For that matter, many people get away without their own world-wide income. It may be risky, there was news in Indian News Papers, that now IRS has started tracking investments done in India.
But anyways, whatever I know, it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test. They can get ITIN.
===
Another example a professor visiting in USA, when gets cash award, to claim the award (s)he has to get ITIN and gets taxed at source, even stay is for days or weeks. If his/her country has tax treaty, (s) he can recover takes paid in USA.

I was in your situation during my GC process. I was in EB3 queue going nowhere, but waited for couple of years. When my division sold out to a new company, I was promoted and with the new job, I could qualify for EB2. I then port it from EB3 to EB2 and with the wait really proved to be fruitful.
GC journey has lot of ups and downs like any journey in life need not get frustrated regarding this. Find various other avenues and ways to get over with it!
Thanks

Really... Selling a house takes longer and in some places its six month - a year. When you are detained at the airport, you can not list your house and sit in the airport for a year. Think before what you post.
I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.

for more advice.
one way is to travel abroad and get a new I-94, second is to file for extension with approved I-129

I would not mind getting EAD few weeks late and prefered to have reciept notice recieved instead. I filed Jul 2nd at TSC and no news yet about Reciept, CC, EAD, AP. Most July 2 filer at NSC got their reciepts 2 weeks ago.
There may be 1% chance of 485 being rejected and that is pretty scary. Easly NSC filers can atleast put their mind at rest for 485 acceptance.
I agree with you . peace of mind is better than getting EAD 2 weeks early

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
There is no way to clean every thing with in 3 to 4 years, Why because like EB3 china and India had country limit per year.

Situation:
H1b valid until 2010, visa stamp expired.
AP available
Not recieved EAD yet
Can you we go on a cruise to Bahamas?
Also do Indian citizens need visa to Bahamas cruise?
Thanks in advance
Getting visa to go on cruise to Bahamas is not a big issue. People go in bunches to watch cricket matches when they play it in West Indies.
A travel agent will be able to answer your question.
Transit visas in Eurpoean countries is a pain and wierd rules and complex rules that very is something that gets discussed in these forums.
But, nevertheless, you may get an answer here.
Do please consider contributing now as we are running a funding drive

Every credit reporting company has option to put freeze on your account. They will assign you a security key for the freeze.
Search for "experian freeze"
You can manage your freeze account online. So, when someone wants to run your credit report, it will be denied. You would have to manually lift the freeze for anyone to access your credit report.

Labor substitution case..eh..
All,
My employer revoked the i140 of a person after 180 days. He did not reveal this information to me and used labor substitution for me.
The other person used AC21 and got his 485 approved. INS has denied my I140 since a 485 has already been approved and there can be only one GC on one labor. INS says that once the 485 is approved that job ceases to exist.
My company is saying that they have done this in the past and got approvals. They are saying that they applied the I140 substitution long before the 485 approval of the other person.
Now they are saying that they will appeal that the other guy never had the intention of working for the comapany.
Is there any chance for the I140 approval and using the existing labor ? If not will the INS help me keep the Priority Date.
Does anyone have knowledge of such cases (or) know the results of such appeals.
Thanks !

Can you change job after you get 3 year extension (based on approved 140)?
It is kind of dicey...If you are quick enough you can pull it off...
You can refer to some posts up above that some people have actually done it..
Especially if you are laid off you have not much to lose and try something ...
USCIS has traditionally not taken a hard line against H1B as far as I know...

It was a great rally. Awesome job by the IV core team. It was very well organized. I thank all the IV core team members for that. I got to meet macaca and lots of other people.
Big round of applause to the CA members for showing up in such big numbers. I wished more people should have attended from the DC, NJ, MD and other neighboring states.
Overall it was a great day for IV !!!!

You guys all are excellent. I never thought that this thread would grow as much as it did.
To Admin: Please start seperate thread for each consulate, where people can share their experiences and ask specific questions.
Now coming back to my question. My labor is approved and I-140 is pending.
I have declared that my employer is applying for my GC.
Should i carry documents proving that my I-140 is pending and that labor is approved?
My 6th year H1-B will be expiring in Aug 31 2007 and i have valid I-797 approved upto that date. I know i can get 3 years extension anytime with approved I-140 or atleast 1 year H1-B extension.
Will that be a problem at all? I am asking this because, the numbe rof months for which stamping will be valid will be just few months.
Thanks again for wonderful answers.

I got my visa stamped in june 2006 and expiry was august 2007. Usually your employer will never give you any Lc or I140 approval docs. Good luck trying to get those :). They dont ask for any docs related to permanent residency as long as you have a valid 1797A.

that is a good guess - I hope it is correct.
However, whether the fees are being used for overtime or for more people working on a case, that means USCIS is understaffed and needs to hire more people. In that case, isn't it logical that they would increase fees across the board for all applications, not just PP? i.e. fee hikes would be for new applications to pay for the extra resources, and existing applications should be processed under a flat fee for all cases.
If they are claiming that those who pay extra fees are entitled to faster processing, ahead of the line, then that, my friend, is a bribe, whatever official term is used. Because otherwise if they were understaffed, which it appears they are, they would simply raise fees for all applications.
I can understand a corporation doing this, like getting your tax refunds processed faster through a company if you pay more, but imagine if IRS suggested they would process faster for an extra fee.
They cannot raise fees without providing extra service. USCIS does raise fees once in while though. But the PP fees bring in a very large amount of revenue in comparison to small increases in regular fees.
Also, for better service, people often pay more. I invariably pay more in an airplane to be in the first class. Not sure why USCIS cannot use that logic to make some more money. I don't think it is comparable to a bribe. But, I guess we will agree to disagree here.
