I just called CS of Vonage and asked them about 5k minute limit. They just laughed as I was not the first one to ask. They said for residential Vonage world plan there is no limit. those 5k applies to business . So rest assured and call India without any fear or limit. Unlimited !
So I am happy.
The 5000 minute limit is phrased as "consistent with residential use" term in the Terms and Conditions. CS is often clueless.
For more details - look at the chat transcript I posted in the fatwallet forums Chat Tanscript - Look at the 8th post in this page (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/946947/?start=120).
Or - even better - look at the original Terms and Conditions (http://www.vonage.com/tos/#SERVICE). The relevant section is section 5.4, named "Inconsistent with Normal Use".

Thank you very much for your update. Went to the Infopass today and as per the IO came to know that my case is in adjudication review and will get the interview. I don't know how much ombudsman will be helpful, but will try all options. My labour was approved in 2 months and I-140 in 18 days but it seems I485 is sturck for ever :mad:

No one can travel on EAD. EAD is for employment authorization. AP is for travel. You cant mix and match the purpose of them.
If you dont need to travel or if you have a valid H1 stamp for travel, dont file for AP. If you want to travel and if your stamp has expired and dont want to apply for new stamp, then file for AP.
If you want to work for your employer and continue there and if you are sure of your job security, then you dont need EAD, and dont apply for EAD. However its a good idea since EAD is a great option of you are suddenly fired or laid off. EAD makes it easy to search for jobs coz the employer doesnt have to file your H1 and you can join them immediately without any hassles.
You are correct. When I filed on 2005 I did not apply for either AP or EAD. My H1 was valid until May 2007 and I do not intend to change jobs or travel(my country is too dangerous :mad: ).
I am already 55 :rolleyes: and am not going anywhere.
In January 2007 I filed EAD myself and got it approved in 40 days. My lawyer was charging me $400 to file it.

Hmmm - not sure because, if the job requires that someone must have security clearance - the job must clearly mention that someone with security clearance is needed. What is the point in hiring a citizen without security clearance (unless they want you to get clearance aftewr hiring)
Non discriminatory postings look like this
(1) Authorized to work in US for any employer
(2) Requires a security clearance
One cannot specifically say - I don't want EAD or GC or I want only Citizens.
Desi3933 and other knowledgeable folks out here - please write your comments. I hope I am not wrong.
There are 3 kind of jobs -
1. Jobs that require active security clearance - this kind of job is only limited to US citizen that have security clearance of that level. Yes, tehre are different levels in security clearance as well.
2. Jobs that will be in unit where everyone must be US citizen. These kind of jobs can be filled by US citizen without the need of any security clearance.
3. Jobs that are open for everyone - One must have active work authorization.
The vast majority of the jobs are of type #3. In any case, if job requires US citizen, the hiring place must be able to answer why that job is restricted to US citizens only.

Hi,
My wife filed for greencard in Oct 2006 under the Schedule A category where she filed for 140 and 485 concurrently.
We got our EADs in November 2006. Later my company started my GC process(priority date is Nov 2006). I talked to my attorney about my 485 filing and she says that I should go ahead and file my application but only Adjustment of Status and not AP and EAD along with it. I should however give the reference of my earlier reciept numbers while filing my 485. My questions are:
1. What happens if my wife's I-485 gets denied? How will this affect my I485 process and our EADs?
2. We have not applied for AP and also didn't get our medical examination done when filing my wife's 485 application. Can I do these now when filing my 485?
Please advise.
Thank you.

5 years in US legally and paid taxes: get a Greencard.
10 years ,,,..,, Citizenship.
I do not get a benefit in this directy, but the queue will be reduced
Lets go for it .. LETS DO SOMETHING... what are we waiting for...???????
Make sure you preserve your Social Security statement and IRS tax transcript. If you have a house - the HUD statement
Then meet meet with your senator and make the case. 10 years legally in the US - no longer want to be treated like an alien
IV must include this in campaign

Hi,
My labor (EB3) and 140 were approved a while ago.My company has sent H1B extension for three years in Feb 07.There was a query requesting for additional evidence from USICS in Apr 07.They are requesting lot of my company info and nothing about myself.My Company is taking its own sweet time to respond.Now I am eligible to file 485 as per the latest June visa dates for EB3.My question is could I file 485 when H1b extension is pending.My previous I94 expired on May 07.Please help as it is urgent.If the visa dates move back again then it will be horrible.My Company didn't file during concurrent filing and has eaten 2 years of my life and now they may use this to further hold me..any help will be appreciated.
Thx Vict

Guys,
I am not sure what others are doing, but as somebody said a flower campaign to the guys who support us may go against us, but I think that shoudl be sent to those who dont support.
I have written twice in the last week and today I am sending cards with a letter.
One simple way of sending very short messages is "I am EB3-India and due to to non-availablility of visas, I am going back to INdia". And tell your qualifications. This is the same story even with PhD holders in US whose job desc doesnt qulaify for EB2 or EB1. No offense any others, as I know many others got experience while some got education.
This is in fact true with 5 of my friends who left in 2007 just before that visa bulletin. They had good offers and they did not want to wait for the US GC.
Just send the loud message" UNLESS YOU DO SOMETHING, WE ARE GOING BACK.". Send the message in different ways.
And ofcors good to meet personally.
Sri.

FYI...I heard from some of my friends that Vonage is good as long as you are its customer. Once you call CS and tell them you are leaving...they play all sorts of dirty tricks.
Thats the only reason I hate Vonage. Once you select the option to disconnect you will be in line 1 hr, then some one will come and ask you to hold till they pull up your record. You will be on hold for 20 mins and will be disconnected. This cycle will go on unless you are lucky. I had to try this 4-5 times...then I started hating their service. Otherwise they are good.

There are some positive news regarding this bills.
(1) As some one mentioned despite tight dead line and pressure for Energy bill House committe is attempting to Markup bill which tells lot. They must have seen light at end of tunnel so they are taking risk. They will not touch if chances are less than 99 % becasue there are lots of bills pending needs action.
(2) As per NumberUSA Senate leader is doing some thing in back door. Means there must be deal going on between dems and some reps to pass Everify- recapture bill before end of sep.
(3) Last time when (9/10 ) when bill was about to discuss NumberUSA has big RED bar for action iteam . This time it is coming back and with no of co-sponser / favor increase , number USA is missing that red bar. Means they have accepted that bill will pass.
See first post by papau.. No of favor / cosponser are more now. So our calling is working.. There are some lawmakers that we need to focus. Spe. reps . Please call to them and once you think you are done and have little time call Those 3 anti lawmakers. I think we will see some light tomorrow.

This disclaimer in VB, does not say "mid-month". It takes about cut off dates via bulletin only. Also, this means USCIS put some thought behind the time they will have to announce cut-off dates. They new the demand will ber "very heavy".
**
All Employment Preference categories except for Third �Other Workers� have been made �Current� for July. This has been done in an effort to generate increased demand by Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) for adjustment of status cases, and to maximize number use under the annual numerical limit. However, all readers should be alert to the possibility that not all Employment preferences will remain Current for the remainder of the fiscal year. Should the rate of demand for numbers be very heavy in the coming months, it could become necessary to retrogress some cut-off dates for September, most likely for China-mainland born and India, but also possibly for Mexico and Philippines. Severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY-2008.
**
This was based on information obtained then. Now they can say that they do not have enough visa numbers and all numbers are exhausted
