Guys dont get trapped. Since USCIS is exposed now and forced to accept 1 million application for AOS, these things are coming up. USCIS and DHS are the pets of US Govt. Govt wont let them down under any circumstances.
Now that USCIS and DHS realized the moster coming on their head down the line in the name of GC / EAD / AP and they have maintained the lie with dis-honesty all these years that they could not process 485s because of the lack of resource, they have fallen flat on US Congress to bail them out. Whatever solutions they have had in their disposal all these years they are taking them out and discussing with congress. If they wanted to be really helpful to the highly skilled immigrants, they should have done this long back. All these days they all were anti-immigrants and the ex-director of USCIS was a active member of anti-immigrant community.
You dont have to do anything. Just sit and watch the fun with USCIS. They will come up with solutions and get it passed with congress and they know better than any one else that they are in trouble without solutions. Lots of LAWSUITS will follow in next few months if they dont do their job on time.

Maybe he had it confused with the Indian Parliament. :)
I guess so .... but we should give learning01 the benefit of doubt given that learning01 is in a way the eyes and ears of IV.... keeping track of what's happening in the media.
That was a genuine slip (of no real consequence) and I definitely commend you on your efforts learning01!!

The people with Master's in STEM are expempt from the cap.
It will benefit them
Exempt from the H-1B cap; not the EB cap. See line 14 on page 2 of H.R. 5630 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h5630ih.txt.pdf).
Bummer!

For the pessimists among us who doubt the utility of what we can achieve, I have compiled the following FAQs:
1/ Isnt it very unlikely that a senator or congressman will listen to us or care about our agenda?
It is extremely likely -almost guaranteed- that US lawmakers will listen to us and incorporate our amendments, as long as they are reasonable, fair and not inimical to US interests (which our suggestions most certainly fit with). The system here works very differently than what several of us may be used to in our own home countries, where it might be near impossible to get things through to lawmakers without �connections�. Several of those here who witnessed the S1932 campaign in December were surprised at how easily accessible the lawmakers and their staff were, and how receptive they were to our requests and suggestions. We have to make sure that we present our arguments intelligently, and show them how closely they are linked to long term US interests.

To claim as dependents, IRS requires that you pass two tests(many more but specific to your case)
Substantial Presence requirement, 184 days and may include previous years stay.
Income Requirement, I dont know the actual 2006 limit for income but it has to be less than $5000-$6000
If you can pass both then you can file but you will require a Tax Id(ITIN) from IRS prior to doing that.
What can happen at the maximum is that you might get audited and if you use a professional tax agent then you can easily rebut these. Also the IRS's auto auditing rules are unlikely to audit individual returns if the windfall is less than a certain amount. I guess the amount would be around $2000~$3000, as the cost for attorneys,staff and other resources will not make this audit viable.
I claimed my sister at that time on F1 about 5 years back and was successful. Your parents should be no different. The lack of communication(systematic) between IRS and USCIS is boon for us in this case. If it were truly streamlined, USCIS would have never let the 184 days be accumulated in the first place.
On the actual amount that you can get back depends on your tax bracket. Looks like each Dependant is worth about $5k~$6k of deductions. Assuming that you are in the 30% fed tax return bracket that would amount to around, $1.5K ~$1.8K net return. You may also be eligible for state deductions if that applies in your case, which would increase the latter amount.

;) Remember-its our money- the US govt. cannot deny it if asked by The Indian govt. IF they wanna keep it, better give us our GCs!
What do you think US is Indian colony like India use to be a British Colony before 1947.
However for sure there is no harm in discussing Soc Sec.

NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.
Thanks for the info dear.
I will wait for the receipt number.
I do have one more question if someone can anser :
I have to start with new employer on 3/29/2010. Definately i will get receipt before that.
Now my question is, is it ok if i leave my current employer on 3/26/2010 ?
There will be a 2 day period(weekend) where i will be travelling for the new job.
I am worried what would be my status for those two days.
What could i do in this situation ?

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me any reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

Is it against the law to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? May it in some way affect the I-130 application?
Since DS-160 form doesn't ask that question regarding petition on my behalf anymore do I have to tell them the truth myself or not unless they ask? Please comment. Thank you.

Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).
In my scenario, most of my stay in US, was limited to the stay period mentioned in my VISA though I-94 was given for longer period. There was one instance when I-94 date was given for a longer period than Visa expiry and I stayed till my i-94 date though visa expired. For this particular stay, when I look at the US Entry and Exit dates it would say as if I overstayed though legally allowed and only way to prove that would be the I-94 copy. I dont have the copy of that I-94...
Just kind of wondering how to handle this particular scenario... Any ideas/suggestions...

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.

That is not true, otherwise ROW EB-3 should be current always.
