How many times have you met your lawmaker offices in person in the last 1 year asking for a bill?
If your answer is zero or 1, then that is the reason no bill never sees light of the day.
If our community does not go out and meet lawmakers, their plight will stay buried inside the forum threads.

The statements that were enclosed with the checks received from Insurance Company shows deduction of OASDI and Medicare taxes but not Federal and State taxes. When we contacted the Insurance Company asking for a tax statement we were told that they have mailed all the statements to the employer and they should include in the W2 statement. Upon knowing from the Insurance Company, we wrote an email to the HR asking for a corrected W2. The HR replied that we can report those wages even without a W2 from the company and later she replied saying she didn't received any statements from the Insurance Company and also they have changed the payroll company and so they can no longer issue a new one.
We are based in NY. We also called IRS to confirm if we are suppose to pay taxes on those income. The IRS officer said it should be included in the W2 and have asked to wait until 02/15. The insurance premiums nor the cost-plus-fees for the sick pay (maternity disability) were paid by us.
There is a bold note on the statements saying:
1) The tax information must be reported on year-end w-2 forms
2) Federal Law HR4331 states that all disability payments will be subject to the Social Security Tax for the first six (6) months only
3) This tax has been deducted from your payment in compliance with this law

Dear IV,
Its not about me. I am planning to do a flower or some campaign that all will agree upon in less than a week. We must do before the next bulletin comes out.
Is it possible for IV to send a very good number of flowers to the departments.
The basis for this is that some of the people here probably may not be comfortable to send to all the members due to whatever restrictions they may have(ideally they must be able to do themselves). If so, we can start a new campaign and make some fund and once again shoot that may flowers to make some difference. IV can go to a big place and place a huge order. Just my 2c.
Sorry if I sounded stupid.

Perfect! many thanks for posting that link. it looks like our dear HR5882 is light years away from being signed into law... so I just tamed my expectations... However, we definitely need to keep up those phone calls. Fair Disclosure: I have called only once or twice... Folks, I am very less motivated about this thing getting better. But I am a dedicated spectator. Please pardon me in advance for in-action.
found this excellent details and thought should share it. :)

i believe that whatever the above stories convey it does not apply to skilled workers......life in india/china has got better only in the last 5-7 years....otherwise i have seen above average people in india retire with barely enough to live a good life.
if a skilled worker spends 6-7 years in usa with good financial planning he can easily retire, unless one has really started living the dream(big car....big house...all the latest gadgets....yearly india trip...etc..)
i do agree that this story can be related to a non-skilled worker from any country....(even below average americans have nothing except for social security when they retire....)
techy2468 I hope you are kidding & r not serious :) . If you are then u need to meet someone (ofcourse skilled professional) who came 6 /7 yrs ago & ask his opinion on retirement or check out where he stands.
You did not mention any figures (would love to see them from you as well as others reading this thread ) so not sure what you consider to be good savings/financial planning for retirement ?
According to you all those who came in 1999/2000 have enough savings & can start thinking of retirement now.
Do you all guys agree to this or is it only me who is still poor :D ?
Here are some approximate figures, which i hope go for most of the skilled professionals
Assume billing rate: $90K - $100K per year
Consulting Company cut $ 30K - 40K per year
Let's say average salary is: $60K ( i know many professionals r working for even less but let's include some little rich guys too :) )
Now 60K means $5K salary per month
After Family Health Insurance (considering married) & taxes salary in hand is $3500 to $4000
Let's take $4000 in hand
Now expenses :-
House rent : $850
Car Insurance : $150
Car Loan payment : $250 (assuming used Toyota/Honda for 8K - 12K, No big dreams :) or rich lifestyle )
House Utilities bill : $150 (like water, electricity etc)
Cable/Internet/phone : $75 ( No HBO or special channels - No big dreams :) )
Grocery : $500
Eating out once a week : $125
Lunch out : $0 ( ask your wife to give u lunch :D - No big dreams)
Misc $300
Total monthly expenses $2400
(living an average middlecalss lifestyle)
Savings per month 4000 - 2400 = $1600
Now in 6 - 7 yrs (assuming the person worked like a "Donkey" :D with not a single vacation , no trips to india)
12months X 6/7yrs X 1600savings = $ 115,200/ $134,400 (Total Savings)
Do you really think this is sufficient to buy a house & lead a retired life either here or in india ???? or maybe i hv started thinking big :D
(By the way even after 6 yrs i don't hv anything close to above figure -maybe because i did't live/work like a donkey)

hot heartbroken quotes for boys.
Dear IVans,
Now that the SEP VB is out, what does this indicate in terms of
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
- awareness about visa wastage
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
- USCIS efficiencies
Pls share your thoughts. Thanks!
We will know for sure after Sep 30. If they don't waste any visas then it is a good sign.
But if they do waste visas, inspite of all the leeway, requests, advise, whatever they have been given, then God help us.

Thank you.
I really see useless threads a ton here, some of them are opened by these guys. They might be helping this organization by donating some money , that does not mean they can dictate terms. I will say these guys motives will not help any one.
I would consider this type of threads and discussions worth only if they are created by regular members.
I don't like someone create a new handle come here and post something without filling profile, start arguing with other members and run away when isolated.
The best way to deal with these guys are to avoid them.

makeup heartbroken quotes and sayings
Funds are really needed but another important thing is to leverage the momentum obtained due to CIR and more recently July Visa fiasco.
I think iV should aggressively focus on recapture of visas, 1 visa per family(Hillary Clinton already supports us on this and we can rope in Zoe loe****
who supported us now) and also removing country based limit.
Momentum is very important and now is the time to restart and I m sure funds ll flow. Removing country based quota is the easiest one to target first.
Cheers

Correction: July 17th 2007 & July 28th 2007 - Please correct it.
Could not understand what you mean by 'these 485s are still unadjudicated'. Of-course yes, that's why the dates are moved further so that they can get adjudicated.
Again 'Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression' what do you mean? If they all get adjudicated then what is the reason of retrogression again? Am I missing something here? May be we can take it like this, depending upon the volume of the approvals, the dates will go back, higher the approvals, lesser the retrogression.
I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20233#post20233
He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
This is my opinion. TSC 485 processing time is July 17,2008. NSC 485 processing cut off date is July 28th, 2008. I don't know if CSC is still processing 485 EB applications but CSC EB processing cut off date on its website is April 04, 2006. The priority date for June 2007 bulletin was April 1st2004.
Lot of big law firms filed 485's around August 1st because the date for filing 485's was extended to August 17th. So I think these 485's are still unadjudicated. Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression. Analysts analyze. However the silver lining would be removal of concurrent processing of I-140 and I-485 which may give some additional EB 2 numbers next year.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
For F-1 visa, you need to show non-immigration intent; i.e., you do not plan to immigrate to U.S. In your case, the combination that I-130 is pending, you want to apply to a university that does not have your major, etc., sends a very bright red flag.

Hi,
My mom is going for the Tourist Visa to Chennai on 31st Mar, 2008. I am in US presently and my brother could able to arrange for the birth certificate. A big blunder, my mom name is blank in the birth certificate as they have prepared the BC keeping in mind my SSC (10th Certificate which doesn't have mom's name, ofcourse). Whether an affidavit from my mom + the birth certificate without my mom name in it, will solve my problem?
My name as per passport First Name: Afroze Last Name : Mohammed
As per the BC certificate Name: Mohd Afroze ( As per 10th Std spellings), whether it will create any problem?
Please suggest me 31st March is approaching .................
Thanks,
Afroze
