You dont have to pay any taxes for tranfering money. It looks like you are supporting your parents by transfering your savings to their account.
Since the account is in your parents name and i am guessing you are not a jt holder since that is illegal in india. A NRI and indian resident cannot be joint holders of an account.
If you were transferring it to your nre or nro account in India then you are supposed to report the account information using FBIR form( if sum of amount in all acounts > $10K) and pay taxes in US on the interest earned in those accounts.
I was not doing it initially but for past 5 years i have been paying taxes and past three years reporting all my accounts to IRS.
Hope this helps.

I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Come on dude. Texas is very slow.
Be happy, at least for the most they give license at least to the expiry of the Visa. This rule has been in many states for several years. In Tennessee, it was impelemented in 2004.

Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect
You yourself said, The job requirement decides the category. So if a EB3 guy gets promoted and that job requires EB2, There is no law that stops him from applying in EB2.
I am myself against Desi Consultants, who have no respect for law.But what you wrote above is not against law.
Congrats buddy on getting your GC,

Andy,
Thanks for the pointer on the 539 processing.
Does the H4 approval need to be in hand if my wife were to change her status to H1? (or) Is there an option in I 129 where she can refer to the pending I 539.

Can someone answer this? If you get your EAD before six months of filing, do you still have to wait 6 months to benefit from AC21? Or, can you change employers immediately after you get EAD, without waiting 6 months?
AC21 has nothing to do with EAD.

It would be a smart choice to accept those application, but based on USCIS recent behaviors, I really doubt their decision makers have that intelligence to make such a smart choice.

I have an appointment set up with a doctor. However, the doctor is not listed as a USCIS authorized physician in the USCIS web site.
I called the doctor's office and they assure me that he does "immigration physicals" and has been doing them.( As a side note, there is another doctor in the same office who is on the approved list but he is on vacation)
Is the following website updated with list of eligible civil surgeons ? https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
Please advise.
Goto Rajiv Ahuja at Fremont or Hayward if you are located in Bay area.
No appointment necessary.

You are correct but I think I am not sure if one can change employer (H1B Transfer) during that 3 Year extended H1B period after 485 denial.
Total BS and Incorrect.
One can work on current H-1B (irrespective on basis it was approved), until the H-1B petition is revoked or canceled or expired. However, beneficiary is not eligible for new/extension of H-1B after I-485 denial.

Thanks for your reply "WeShallOvercome", The question which you answered is on top of my head from so many days, I asked some many people and they are not sure, Thanks your help
One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
I do know that you guys will be safe on your H1 and H4 status. I do not know for sure if she needs to go out of the country and re-enter on H4..I've heard something like that before though..

I personally need more defination of
'Employment-based or Other: 110,786 '
it is defining a narrow set of applicants. Are they ones whose 485 is stuck after filing 485. or are they ones whose 485 cannot be filed and only have 140 approved ?
Pappu,
I would like to think that the number(110,786) mentioned is of those applicants who have filed their I-485 while their PD was current. After they submitted their applications, probably retrogression happened and as such they are probably still stuck waiting for the GC to become available.
I believe this number does NOT include the applicants whose I-140 is approved, but are still waiting to file their I-485. I am sure there are few hundred thousand applicants in EB category who are waiting to file their I-485when their PD becomes current.
I tried looking at USCIS website to get a more thorough understanding of what they mean by EB, but was not successful.

"I feel frustrated, angry, deceived," said Mahesh Pasupuleti, a software engineer in Emeryville who came from India eight years ago on an H-1B visa and has applied, with his employer's sponsorship, for a green card. Under the changes, he wouldn't be able to stay longer than six years, even if he were in line to receive a green card.
True, Savage is not for us. He is unpredictable as someone mentioned above. Today, he was quoting from an article which mentioned about immigrationvoice. He was reading the plight of some Mahesh ... . He said to go to home country. All H1B's came on a big lie. Oracle who is lobbying for H1and Mr Gates are all greedy etc. He was going on and on.
