Wait a minute…. You guys have a problem if someone else is getting GC even though you guys very well know how much difficult it is to wait for the long process to finish. I am completely stunned to read some of the posts on the forum as these posts are always looking for parity with this or that group. Some posts say “why undocumented are getting GC after paying 10K as we have been paying taxes for years”, some posts simple whine as to why L-1 get to file in EB-1 etc etc. Is there an end to this unnecessary complaining and this urge to always looking for parity, sometimes with the privileged and sometimes with the under privileged? Some posts are always looking for “fairness” whatever "fairness" means to the individual situation, and then, blame the rest of the world around for delay with their green card process. I think we ought to grow-up and stop complaining about someone else getting their green card. We ought to stop complaining about all the wrong things that may be going on our lives and we should get serious about making phone calls and meeting with the lawmakers. I do not intent to start a flame war and my intent is not to offend anybody either, just trying to point out that we could be happier and effective if we stop whining and complaining. It would also help to create a more positive and constructive environment on the forums.

My 140 got approved yesterday! Just 7 days after they received the response to the RFE. :D
Btw, someone asked abt 3 yr or 4 yr degree. Mine is 4 yr degree.
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

That is good idea to keep H1B status as much as possible. Use EAD when u have to use it.
Thanks
In continuation to the below thread, I was asked to start a new thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24403
Below is my question, please find some time to respond
I currently working on H1 for the last 5 years.
I am a July 2007 I-485 filer and have my I-140 approved.
From what I read from the above thread -
1. Does it make sense to fill an I-9 form with the same employer and start working on EAD, instead of burning my remaining period in H1?
2. That way even if for some reason my I-485 gets rejected, I can continue working by switching to H1?
Thoughts....

This year i believe it is not based on SSN, is it not whether you are filing jointly or single ?
Since it is going to be a tax rebate rather than a stimulus , folks am i right here ?

Vaishu,
I have a question for you. I had lost my birth certificated and fortunately my father was visiting us so I get an affidavit signed by him. My mother is no more and my siblings are in India. Would there be a problem as I sent an affidavit in lieu of birth cert with just my father's signature? Please let me know.

Hi poorslumdogs,
If you refer to some thread, please do not ask others to search for it. Instead paste its link in your post so others can read it.
I heard from my friends there are no legal implications if you get laid off on EAD and you also have a valid parolee document.
This should get verified from an attorney though, specially if others create a doubt.
[QUOTE=.....That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.[/QUOTE]

I signed contract on my house and now looking for a mortgage. I�m looking at eLoan, LendingTree, credit union and a few banks/lenders listed in Bankrate.com.
I would appreciate if you can share any information regarding any of the lenders, your experience dealing with them or any other useful information which will help me make a informed decision.
I�m at Houston, TX.
If you are one of them who would like to remind me it�s not an immigration related question�.I�m an immigrant and I have a question�.so would it make it a immigration related? :)
Thanks for your time.
Bank of America has a great program called No-Fee Mortgage Plus (http://http://www.bankofamerica.com/loansandhomes/index.cfm?template=lc_mortgage). It does not charge some of the fees - like the appraisal fees, etc + reasonable, competitive rates. They also guarantee to get all of the closing done within a certain period of time, which they usually beat by at least a couple of days! We have our mortgage with them presently. There is also Sallie Mae Home Loans (http://https://www.smhl.com/index.html)! We had our first home loan with them, but then they sold it to AmTrust Bank (http://https://www.amtrust.com/Personal/Pages/home.aspx) formerly known as Ohio Savings Bank. Our rates or anything else did not change. We live in AZ.
You should window-shop around as much as you can, but remember to initiate all of your inquiries within a 2-week period - so it is counted as a single hit on your credit history!
Discussing all aspects of mortgage - there is an excellent resource, The Mortgage Professor (http://http://www.mtgprofessor.com/) ! As immigrants, we have to share all info we can, the kind of info that is usually shared between family/ friends if you stay where you were born!
Good Luck with your mortgage-search and with your immigration, too!

The customer rep said that I am in legal status pending my H1B petition. I heard about the 240 day rule. Through my research I learned that I can work and stay in U.S until 240 days of I-94 expiration. After 240 days I can not work, but can stay in U.S peding H1B petition. I am not sure how far this is correct. My companies attorney says that I have to wait or go through the senator to see if your case moves. Aren't we legal as the case is pending. Mysterious laws of USCIS to cover up their own faults.

This is USCIS memo, Read Que 5 on page 3.
Memo clearly says following things not be considered in deciding same/similar job:
- Wage difference
- Geographical location
- new employer's ability to pay (that's why it is absolutely fine if you work for your own/wife's company that started yesterday)
About a year ago, I changed job on EAD with 75% higher salary. at that time i had talked to a Sr attorney at Murthy.com and he had adviced me it is not a problem. (my 485 is still pending)
Only in the case where the new wage is simply unbelievable, it would be a problem (e.g. $20k or $450k for a s/w engg, beause there's noone who gets paid that much for that job)
So it's not the difference that would matter, it would be the absolute salary that could matter.

Does it mean I lost the original receipt date of July 20th which should have been ideally my receipt date.

I have EAD for couple of years & when I moved to Ohio, I was issued 4 years DL. They did look at I-94 (I travelled on AP having one year validaty on I-94), also they DID NOT looked at my EAD expiry date..They asked very simple question - Do you have your SSN? Thats it..!
C'mon...Guys, come to Ohio..you will get DL for 4 years..
My Ohio license will expire soon along with H1B. As far as my attorney says, when the original H1B application receipt presented, BMV issues one-year renewal. With the H1B approval, they renew the license for three years.

Probably a dumb question which was answered before in some other thread.. but just so that I understand better:
Am I correct, or totally off base to say: There are no clear cut legislative guidelines regarding how cascaded visas or recaptured visas are to be used especially w.r.t country limits. USCIS has the discretion in how these visas are to be handed out..
If so, how has USCIS handed out these visas historically?
It's a bit more complicated than that:
Law comes from three sources:
Comman Law: Laws inherited from the british justice system (evolved over centuries).
Legislative Law: Laws passed by congress and signed by the Prez.
Regulatory Law: Regulations created by the regulatory agencies to implement the laws made by congress. Congres doesn't always finalize all the details to the last comma and leaves that work the relevant government agency. For example, FCC, SEC create regulations about how the congress' laws are to implemented. These regulations have to conform the laws passed by congress. These regulations have the force of law.
So when congress did not stipulate any specific overflow mechanism, it left it completely up to USCIS to work that out.
Historically EB2-RoW overflowed to EB2-India and EB3-Row overflowed to EB3-India. Soon after EB3-RoW was retrogressed, USCIS channelled EB2-RoW to EB3-RoW. This is expected to continue till EB3-RoW becomes current itself.
Therefore, if you're looking for any progress in PD, whether EB2 or EB3, the key parameter you should be watching is EB3-RoW cut-off. Only when this becomes current, others can even _think_ of nirvana. Without overflow of RoW's, both EB2-India and EB3-India cannot progress more than a day in every bulletin (at a average). EB3-Row moved a month and a half in Jan bulletin, which counts as a progress, however small, for everyone. That holds true -though not easy to intuit- for EB2-India as well!

I mean... this is nonsense. You are employing 50K+ people and you behave so irresponsibly. This guy should be hanged.
But in India nothing happens, things go in court forever and government helps them once they get the money they want. I am sure this guy has diverted all that money internally to his son's companies or swiss bank.
How can a IT company with so many projects and clients can not have cash in hand to pay the employees. So unbelievable.
PWC is again showing their lack of integrity. It looks like for Fraud it does not depend whether it is Indian, MNC, big, small, government, private, reputation...It's just greed. Remember Enron, walstreet guy who scammed billions, Illinois governer, chinese milk products...
still i can not believe how much more he want even after owning such a big company... Is he mad?
