do you remember the case of the girl who came to the US as 1 year old and is now some 27 years old and still on H4?
She knows no other place than the US and can be kicked out anytime the husband goes out of status.
Think of her.

OK so I was the original poster that spoke about my friend. Now I will give you some insight into my own case. I have been now in the US since 1991(though my PD is August 2001). Here are some details
Jan 1991 : Arrived in US as 19 yr old after completing Diploma in Engineering from India (10 plus 3).
1991- 1996: Took 5 yrs to complete 4 yrs degree as I was paying my own way. Working full time and studying full time on F1 visa.
1996 -1998 : Completed MBA. This time situation was better because I had financial aid and in state tuition.
1998-1999: Completed internship at an Investment Bank. Had to find another job because I Bank didnt want to do H1. Have been at current job since 1999.
2001: CVompany policy was to wait 2 yrs before applying for GC. So finally filed labor in 2001.
2005 : Labor finally approved from BEC. I 140 filed and approved.
June 2007 : 485 filed (as a 36 yr old)
You are here since a very long time.
If rules can be proposed in CIR for undocumented allowing them to get a greencard if they can prove they are here for minimum X number of years, similar rules can be created for legal documented immigrants (like yourself) too. Its just that the legal immigrant community is not united and does not have enough power yet to raise the voice.

I have not been laid off and I don't have problems finding jobs; in fact my company has asked me to search for one more person with a background similar to mine. However I have been limited by the requirements of AC21. I was toying with the idea of leaving the country; but cannot sell my primary residence and might have problems obtaining a visitor visa for re-entry (to close on the house). I was seriously considering investing in some more real estate; but am holding back due to the random AC21 denials. I want to start my own business since I finally got my EAD this year - but with all the uncertainity of AC21 case approvals, I am not willing to put personal resources into a business in this country. Currently I am working on starting a free workshop for investment in my community - which will stop if my I-485 is denied in case my former employer revokes my I-140 (and yes; I did send in the letters for AC21). I have registered my dog with therapy international and volunteer my time for various causes (cabin repair, trail maintenance, public education) and donate regularly to the fire and police - all of these will take a hit if I have to leave.
I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
===================
UPDATE FROM THE REPORTER
Actually, what I'm looking for is very broad -- anyone on a work permit
who is concerned about the current economic situation and job losses in
the U.S. economy.
==============
The reporter is trying to speak to immigrants waiting for their Greencards about their concerns about job security, if they have a plan B, if they've been pushed out in restructurings/layoffs and moved to a new job, etc, as they hear the layoffs this year are affecting such people, particularly in the
financial sector
====================
So I guess a lot of people on the forum will qualify. If you are good with interviews, pls contact asap.

I doubt that there is any "transfer tax". As long as you have filed your income tax return that showed the source of that "saving" (good job there), you have already paid taxes on it. Also, your parent don't have to pay any tax on it since there can be no double taxation of the said money.
D70 just shipped in the last couple of months. I'm doubting you will see an offering in that same price range from Nikon for another 12-18 months. Perhaps they will update the D100, but who knows.

How about the reverse change of status ? A person currently on H1 visa decides to resign from company & wishes to go on H4 (spouse has H1B extension applied for). What is the time frame in which the H4 has to be filed for .... with respect to resignation .... before resigning or after resigning .... is so within how many days of resigning. How does this person know if he/she is in status as H4 approval might take months .... Will the spouse's H1B extension receipt notice be enough as the approval might take a while.
it depends from state to state, AZ is in south and recently has hightened immigration. regarding your choice of university, i would advise to check with other state university. I did study in states in NJ, as far i have seen, it varies from state to state and university to university. But my point being, America is a democracy, if you feel that you being charged too much, you can contact your state congress men or local represntative or knock on rule of law. you surely to get justice.
My experience with amercian university has been good, discrimation in any way is less when you compare to countries in india, where i also studied, based on your caste and religion, you get a seat or if willing to bribe or spend money you get to study. :mad:
from my prepective they are not saying you cannot study, but they charging more. Please look at careful if you want to study and enjoy its returns then spending some money should not be a stumbling block. i do understand your point that why only you have pay more than others, but then your clearly discrimating against a international student, who come here all troubles and little money and have to pay heavy fees. I have gone through this cycle, my suggestion is stop complaining, then decide if you really want to study. :D

To the IV Core Team,
I want to express my solidarity & support with you guys. You have been great in bringing so much focus on our issues in just the last 3 months. Kudos to you guys !!!
The core team has spent so much of their personal time, money & energy into this, I fully support the suggestion someone else had put in this thread. If any money is left at the end of our ordeal, let the core team be rewarded by the remaining amount being split between them. I too know that this suggestion may be turned down by the Core Team members themselves, but here's my vote for it.
Just remember that for every 1 person complaining here, there are at least 10 people supporting you. Thanks for all that you are doing to help our cause !!!
To the members here who are always complaining,
Please stop behaving like a bunch of spoiled kids. You seem to demonstrate this attitude by behaving like a kid going up to someone, handing over a 5 dollar bill & asking for the "Tower of Paris". If you want your Tower of Paris, come & help us build it.
Go IV Core Team members !!!!! :)

All your friends who got 221G are not telling you the truth. Was all their paperwork complete and ok? Probably not. No friend will admit their mistake and fraud. So they are telling you half story and blaming it on others. 221G is a good thing. It shows government is looking at possibe fraud and security risk seriously. National security is very important and highest priority for us living in US. H1B visa as a whole got a bad name due to fraud. It is not just employers but employees are also responsible for it. Employees are not illiterate or dumb to not understand any fraud. I wish more serious work is done by the government on every greencard application. If the system has clean cases, no anti-immigrant will point any finger and say the whole H1B system is bad.

Its is very sad to read the story about the family.
Indeed, what an ironic day... we have two headline news items concerning Indian Americans...
The Good: A 35 year old Indian American is tapped to head the $700B bailout fund...
The Ugly: A family of 6 dies in LA in a murder-suicide ...

Hello Friends:
Recently Vermont center processing time for H-1B extensions moved to Oct-1-2007. As per new USCIS reporting method of processing times, what this means is, they have COMPLETED processing applications received as of Oct-1-2007. This means, people who have applied for extension after Oct-1st should be getting their approvals these days.
I want to find out which dates currently they are at based on your feedback of your application date and whether you received approval or not as of today.
My case: Applied Oct-30-2007 Status: Pending
Thanks.

I'm not concerned about he being anti-latino but he is anti-immigrant he feels immigration is destroying the American Culture.
well,
I think everyone should be concerned, because today he is anti-latino, tomorrow he is anti-Indian or anti-European...I mean, I really dont see the difference. I am not Hispanic, but I am very very concerned.
At my Grad school, we did a research on the gentleman in question and had a debate about different types of discrimination.
One is for certain. Today, undocumented people are very much in the spotlight, but make no mistake, all immigrants weather legal or illegal have been accused of stealing American jobs away.
The way I see it, we are all in the same boat...
Many people I know have expressed their frustration with the state od Education here "why dont we fix our education so that we can produce our own people so that we have our place in the global economy and we dont have to depend on foreign scientists"?.
Dont get me wrong! I am all pro-immigration, and you may call me an idealist, but I want fair treatment for ALL.
Lets refrain from any statements like 'am not concerned with XYZ being 'anti-latino....
these are public forums and our group cannot afford to be labeled as nonsensitive to others who are not highly skilled legal immigrants..
just my 2 cents

house ONE BRAND NEW DWYANE WADE
I have applied for Advanced parole at the end of July 2007. My H1B visa is expired, but my H1B petition is still valid. Should I just take the risk of traveling and try to get H1B visa renewed to re-enter ?
OR should I just keep waiting for Advanced Parole to be approved ? I can wait until end of November 2007. But I am not sure whether I should plan to travel in Dec 2007 or not. I dont know how long its going to take to get the approved AP.
Any thoughts ?? Do any of the July filers who have filed for AP know what time frame should we expect for approval of I-131 (AP) ?
:confused:
Thanks in advance
You should be very careful of what you plan to do.
Your 797 validity has nothing to do with your ability to enter the US. Its your passport visa stamp that is examined at POE, i am sure you are aware of it. So if you wish to travel on your H1 and enter back then make sure your visa stamp is valid or make plans to get a visa stamp from your home country.
No second guesses on when your approved AP might come, so if you are ok with renewal of visa then go for it. Its your call.
good luck

I would definetely be able to help in getting in touch with Ravi. My dad used to work as Information Officer in the NRI ministry.
I will keep the group updated.
Also to be really frank I don't see any help from Indian politians, but let's give it a try.
They will not care for us at all! But, there is an outside chance that one of the retrogressed is related to one of them or somebody knows a politician... and our e-mail also reaches them at the perfect time! And, one of the concerned politician/minister happens to meet one-on-one with Karl Rove, or any such powerful figure in the Bush Team! And, they bring it up with the Bush Team, who assure them they will make Retrogression disappear!!!
;) Hey, if we were so lucky - one of us might have won $365 mil Powerball, and donated $200K or more to IV outright! I would have, I know that for sure!
But, we have to keep trying every which way! Everything to gain- nothing ventured, nothing gained! Please, do not misunderstand me - I am not making light of somebody's ideas! Great things happen only if we keep trying!!!

Hi Folks,
I had been to canada to get my Visa stamped for my 7th in March'07. At the time i was entering United States, the immigration officer did not issue the I-94 to the validity of visa since my passport was expiring on Oct 27th 2007. I have a valid visa until April 2010. The I-94 attached to my passport is expiring on Oct 26th 2007. Do i have to renew my I-94 without fail? Or should i just an new I-94 next time i go out of the country and come back?
Thanks,
GC_DREAMER_485

Why don't we just voluntarily mention the amount that we contributed in our signatures ? Since contributions are voluntary, so should be the option of disclosing information on it. When many contributing members start furnishing their contribtion information voluntarily, it becomes the "fashion" and others will follow suit, as no one wants to look like a free-rider.
As for the veracity of the information, we got to trust each other on that and follow an audit policy- I assume the core members/ administrators have the ability to cross-check the contribution information if someone looks suspicious. Anyone caught furnishing false information can be blacklisted. Such a policy minimises the work of the core team, without being overly intrusive.

The school is wrong on 2 accounts:
1. The only exception to the full-time student rule on F1 is your LAST semester of graduation. If your wife is in her LAST semester, and she has fewer credits remaining for graduation, and enrolls in less than full-time credits she CANNOT be out of status. I myself was in that boat in my last sem. Not sure if things changed in the past 2 yrs.
2. If she has an EAD, then your lawyer is right. She is not required to be on F1.
I totally agree with what was said by she18. If your are in the last sem and don't have enough credits to be a full time student, they need to update the same in SEVIS and continue the studies.
Best of luck

from Ron's newsletter
"One additional reason for making sure that you have a valid EAD at all times is so that you can claim unemployment benefits in the event you lose your job"
This is my understanding too, one doesn't have to have a continues employment in AOS status, only required to have a job or a job offer at the time of adjudications of I-485. I know one person who was able to get his green card on the basis of a new job offer at the time of adjudication (during interview process). Ron's newsletter is the first I have seen which is specifically mentioning unemployment benefit for AOS applicants. Thanks OP!!!
