Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks
1. You can walk to your local SSN office and ask them about the lockdown on SSN.
Ideally if you are near 40 quarters of SSN contribution I will stay here few quarters longer to make it to 40 quarters. This way even if you are in India you will get some money when you retire ( few 100 dollars are not bad). ( I know about SSN and its problems but still there will be something there)
2. There is nothing in 401K laws that says you can withdraw the money before you turn 59.5, but you can try to establish a case of hardship and see. The predefined cases are here
401khelpcenter.com - Hardship Withdrawals Give Access to Your 401k Savings, But at a Cost (http://www.401khelpcenter.com/401k_education/hardship_withdrawal_article.html)
2.1 The Penalty is not 40% it is only 10%, (usually the way it goes in 30% tax + 10% penalty gives a total of 40% loss). But as someone suggested you can withdraw it in phases and not pay the taxes, in that case you will only pay the 10% penalty. I will consult a tax attorney to get more information on this.
also r2i websites are great help.
Good Luck

True, it is not based on a true story as people have pointed out about certain inconsistencies in timeline. There is something called a Satire, people.
I too know of a friend on H1 who lost her father and could not go due to lack of Visa stamping. It just churned our gut seeing her suffering at the time, yet we were all totally helpless to do ANYTHING. :mad:
People, we have an opportunity to do something NOW. So, let us not lose this opportunity.

They won't be any better off here.Instead of being kicked out fair and square, they will be made to decay on H1 visas for 15-20 years. Talk of choosing a rock over a hard place. Besides, the British MPs seem to at least understand what skilled immigration means - here they will have the pleasure of being grouped with meat-packers and grape-pickers who matter-of-factly walked across the border.
I think its also a lesson for those tired of the US immigration system and considering moving to other countries - lets face it, immigrants are not exactly welcome anywhere. Either stick it out, or return to home country.
Yes, I heard about them, and I know that a lot of people are moving/going to move to the US and will be flooding the h1b visa quota sooon.

It is not a free service. One year subscription is $495.
USCIS mentioned about it in every one's denial letter (denied for education), but common people need to pay that amount to see the details. It is not justified, if people don't know what USCIS is referring into. All big lawyers have its subscription. So they guide their clients in a proper way. OP's lawyer screwed him to file in EB2. Even EB3 also difficult, if the advt. is for a US equivalent degree requirement. May be put advt. for a associate degree or non-degree positions with some college studies. For EB3 candidates did not require a degree, if the position advt. says so. But prepare for a tons of applications for that position.
TWO MORONS GAVE ME RED FOR MY POST. I AM GIVING SOME ADVICE TO HELP THE COMMUNITY HERE. I HAVE GOT MY GC MORE THAN 2 YEARS AGO. MOST PROPLE DIDN'T VISIT IV AFTER THEIR GC. I AM HERE TO GIVE MY AND MY FRIEND'S EXPERIENCE, LEARNED IN A HARD WAY. I DIDN'T GAIN ANYTHING FROM HERE.
Would 3 yrs bachelors and 3 yrs masters (MCA) with 10 + yrs of experience qualify for EB2? Is there anyway we can check in that EDGE database?

Why dont you just work for your new employer in december on voluntary basis and take the salary in Jan as a signon bonus?. This way you will have a clean record of 6 months on H1.
because its illegal to work for an employer you are not authorized to work for.

I am working in IT field. Technology or field does not matter. I have seen people who did MS in US also got 221g.
My only understanding is If it's a big company, then they are issuing visa, But not guranteed ...
But for small companies / consultants, There will be a definite query / admin process is waiting for you.
My case is very genuine... I am working for this company since 2005 and I am the only one H1B employee.
I got my eb-3 140 approved from this employer only ...
And my wage is always above the determineed wages in Labor / LCA ...No gap in paychecks ...
Compnay also in profit mode always ...
So they approved my h1 extn 2 times in the past and approved my 140 also. Now what the heck they got doubt in the employer ...

While its a good idea to write to the president, Obama himself says he gets 40,000 letters per day, so its a rain drop in the ocean, no offense intended.
We need to do a coordinated strike by all members of the IV
1.Everyone send an email or calls the Congressman's office on a particular date
2.Call or email their senator on a particular date.
3.Write letters to popular TV talk show hosts on a particular week saying legal immigration is ignored in the immigration debate.
4.Send an email to the president on a particular date
5.Organize peaceful rallies in their respective cities on a particular date. This way no one has to pay for traveling in terms of flight tickets or pay for hotels
This has to be organized by PAPPU and TEAM as everyone respects their work and commitment.
PS Don't start of the donate campaign thread now, people will donate once they see action and not just words. Only #5 needs donation for flags, posters etc( even that content can be brought by folks themselves)
For a start, can we all just do one thing: Take an appointment with our local congressman/woman's office and do a presentation. No need to do it on one particular day. Just do it in the next month.
Both ideas are good; coordinated and targeted efforts will get the attention of a few. We need guidance from the IV team on this matter.
phone campaigns/ email campaigns on two days to every senator/congressman
may be getting tv talk show hosts to take up during the same two days

If they ask for police clearance .. you give it..
Unless it was a felony that requires certain jail-time or something it's not always counted against you.. remember .. purpose is not to exclude shop-lifters.. they got plenty of those in Canada but rather identify and filter out security hazards.. you might need in person interview.. but it should be alright.. I know even US immigration allows folks like that.. so can't imagine Canada being more stringent..

Just a quick question:
My employer had legal dept and lawer filed G28 form for me when applied for I-485. Do we really need to hire a lawyer to represent us? I am planning to move to client under similar job description this month end and would like to see if I have to file AC21 and change the lawer representation.
I appreciate any response.
you can change lawyers, you cna also revoke the G28 to make it self representation. Its not a bad idea to do self-representation because:
- EAD/AP renewal is straightforward and you cna file it yourself.
- if you ar elucky you will get GC straightaway.
- if you get an RFE, then depending on how messy hte RFE is, you can decide on a lawyer.

If you are an immigrant what’s your status...Tell us more about you.
If not, what’s the purpose of you are visiting IV. Just teach about the scam?
The ICE, USCIS and DOL are there and very much capable to take care these scams. So if you have any information about the fraud...contact those authorities. We don’t have anything to do with that. Otherwise please get lost.
C'mon dude, i wouldn't use the word "get lost" for someone who has kept cool and putting up thoughts without using extreme/harsg words. even if you suspect the person could be from anti-immigrant group, I don't think it's appropriate to sentence someone based on suspicion.
Dear vjone, like somebody said above, there is no profession where there are no fraud people, there are fraud doctors, fraud lawyers, fraud religious leaders(are there any good ones?), fraud teachers you name it. Posts like yours are welcome, they help us remember that there could be fraud happening around you and you gotta be careful. But in case you are not immigrant and the news made you believe that the %age of such fraud people among legal immigrants is significant then let me assure you that it is not, in fact work-visa community is at the top of the list of cleanest/noble communities. Their contribution to national prosperity and keeping America is # 1 is among the highest. In a way they are the soldiers with keyboards in their hands, fighting for America.

Team,
I am in eb3 with priority date jan/2007 and working with EAD and 485 pending.
my sponsered employer willing to promote me with my position and i was having thought of filing a new case in eb2 and port my eb3 priority date. my company has different sister company working in different areas, can I file my eb2 application from other sister company not from the company where my eb3 is filed?
Also I have 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca plus 10 plus years of experience. I wanted to know if you know anybody who filed eb2 with 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca? according to my research i may have trouble at 140 stage?
if my eb2 gets denied, what happens to my eb3 case?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Matt.
I know you won't like my reply but it is tough to get EB2 case approved with 3 years degree. Just what i observed in my circle. But if you feel comfortable doing it go ahead.

I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..
