As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement to make somebody donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate. Bharatpremi, I must say mind your own business, don't tell me what to do.
On top people have repped in wierd ways as well.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and try to act maturely!!!
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.

USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likelihood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.

Its good that we've progressed a bit. Hope there is no more retrogression and USCIS actually processes applications of people per the bulletin...
USCIS predicts retrogression as they say there is a lot of cases.

My and my employer talked to National Customer Service Center and they dont provide any information other than opening service requests. My employer asked her to connect him to an IO and she said she doesnt have authorization to do so. what the heck? Is there anyway to talk to an IO rather than the customer service rep. Please let me know if anyone has done that before and how they were able to get to them.

Nobody is policing here. This is to inspire some of those 8,394 "mature adults" who made no contribution yet love to surf this site. We are all starting to think that core group is wasting its time if only 212 members out of 8,606 (only 2.4 %) want to support this organization.
To start off with inspiring 'others', maybe you should note in your signature IF you have made a recurring donation, as a lot of other members have done.
I am sure that should work with people who can get 'inspired'. I dont think we need to worry about the others, since they will not contribute anyways.
I dont think we can achieve much by pointing fingers at people.

I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
This is interesting, and if the DV system is taken out, it will help many in the eb category. This is good, hopefully it will come to a vote.

Do any of you have any information on Foreign currency CD. I am thinking of opening CD account with Foreign currency possibly with Indian rupee.
Rupee is 47.50 today and i think its the best time to buy rupees rather keeping ur money in dollar.
Please throw some input.

Let us say I accumulate 40 points and return to India for good. Do I still get Social Security in India if -
1. I am a US Citizen living in India?
yes
2. If I am a GC holder living in India?
yes
3. I am neither a US citizen nor a GC holder living in India?
yes
Any helpful links are appreciated. I have tried to calculate benefits using Social Security benefits calculator, but if you key in residence outside USA and non-citizen, it does not work...
Dont bother calculating this because by the time you become 65 SS will not be the same as it is today, it can be bankrupt or the retirement age would increase to 75..80 god knows. I dont think anyone can give you a solid answer to this particular question. the calculator does not include your specific situation

Even though i didn't get my GC yet this info is helpful.;)
PD : 2005 Oct. I-485 Still pending :confused:
Hi guys,
...
followup post:
I think there is a mix up here between two things:
180 day clock does start on the first day after filing 485, but that is for the purpose of AC21. Once you use AC21, then the next employer assumes the role of "your future permanent employer" and you should have "intent to permanently work for that(new, not the sponsoring) employer" AT the time of GC approval.
If you use change the employers 7 times using AC21 before your GC gets approved; you should have "intent to work permanently for the latest employer".
You are not bonded slaves. The only issue is that the "burden of proof" of proving the intent to work for such and such employer is on the GC beneficiary and not on USCIS. So in future, if USCIS questions (or CBP questions), it is YOU who has to prove that intent.
One scenario where you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT: if you never worked for the sponsoring employer.
One scenario where you WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING IT: if you worked with sponsoring (or latest AC21) employer after GC approval for some duration (60 days?? 90 days?? 6 months?? 1 year??)...no law on this.
This is the whole purpose of Labor Certification process and I140. And it applies to the categories of EB2 (except NIW) and EB3--any category that requires LC.
This is from my discussion in following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=20403
I just put it here so that everyone would not have to try the link and may be this information is useful to someone.
Good Luck.

IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!

Movie is not focused on H1b quota. It would tell common public the real side stories of H1 people as they are focused now as job stealers (is wrong). The odds of that and how they struggle on H1 etc.
IV Movies,
I can help with story line, some dialogues, acting as well as post production. I'm not a professional by any stretch of imagination but i'm definitely willing to contribute.

I said I will get stamping done before I return from India for the first time. That way the action of getting I-94 at POE upto Feb28,2007 by official does not arise.
I just want to tell the community that such issues due to "Last Action" can arise and we need to be aware of them. ;)

Friends: Don't predict the bulletin. I have seen how the thread pops up every time before the bulletin is out-- and I am sure that the DOS folks read our predictions here; get mad at us; and the bulletin never progresses. EB2 India will continue to be unavailable...
I live for the predictions....
I can't make it through an hour without thinking about my application.
with a Nov 02 PD date, today marks day number 1,904.
keep on predicting.....

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco
Jun 08 : 01APR04 | July 08 : 01APR04 | August 08 : 01JUN06 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 09 : 01JAN00 | July 09 : 01JAN00 | August 09 : 01OCT03 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
Thanks.

This was published in March 2006 on Murthy. May be some (monkey) from USCIS read it recently ;).
Chandu, here I found the LINK (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html)
"When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued."

Disclaimer - This is only based on my knowledge gathered from different forums so take it as its worth.
Depending on the timing of your return, you will get 2 or 3 years of RNOR (Returning non ordinary resident or something?). The RNOR status makes your overseas income non-taxable in India. So you can withdraw your 401K in those 3 years and pay less or no tax in US and no tax in India (on 401K withdraw). You will still have to pay a 10% penalty. This will ofcourse only work if you have low balance in 401K.
So for example, if you have a $30K in your 401K, you can withdraw $10K every year for 3 years, pay a $1K in penalty and avoid US taxes (due to exemption limits) as well as Indian taxes (due to RNOR status). But if you have a large 401K balance like 100K or something, there is no way to avoid taxes.
Hope this helps!
