Doctors have played a pivotal role in the last few days in getting things done for us.
Ethnic diversity is desirable but not always easy to achieve and if the organization can achieve its goals with groups without ethnic diversity, what's the harm? After all, we are here to achieve the goals and diversity is not the only way that can be achieved.
So please be thankful to Doctors of AAPI who have much bigger and powerful organization AAPI - both in terms of money and clout - and have decided to endorse our effort and help us.
I would kindly request folks to be careful when posting comments as we dont want to neglect or even appear to neglect our supporters.
By the way, we have tried to get a couple of best selling authors on the competitiveness topics but we could not get them to come on the advisory board. We did get endorsements from two of them though - Richard Florida and David Heenan.

Thanks everyone for answering my questions on this post as well as via PM.

Yes, Many just browse and forget it. If they have a question, they will register and post into the forum. To post a response/question you have to be registered. Those people are taken care of and are members. How ever, its those bunch of people who dont have a specific issue at this time and are just watching over. I feel that any given time 60-70 % of the guest are just watchers (I mean not anti-immi, reporters etc ). If we can entice half of them that gets us going a lot. Registered members will any way login as soon as they are on the website and will not be bothered by popups. The pop up should come only once per session.

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.

I think, if at all Minister is being planned to be met , it is better only few problems are presented to Minister.
PROBLEMS IN INDIA MAY DILUTE THE FOCUS. I think the following would be best to present ..
1) Retrogression.
2) Social Security Treaty.
Numbers justifying above data can do a lot good to explain the problem.

Search immigration.com ("i-140 denied, urgent help please"). I went thru this, attorney was so-so, not experienced in handling cases like this as he is a small firm. So I went to one of the BIG firms and got it MTR'd and cleared in 3 weeks. I spent 3K, but never thought about it before or after.
While you work on backup options, dont just let go the current status that you got in 4-6 yrs.
The new attorney could easily make up for the pay.

The company I work for in USA has a India Office.
That office paid the exact NEW fees through HDFC.
They then couriered the HDFC receipts to my home in India.
I arrived in my city.
Went to VFS office, submitted the required doc's.
They created the courier package which is used to send the passport back.
After few days I went to the US consulate as per my scheduled appointment.
I use the VFS lounge service which helps because I had luggage etc.
It was quite a smooth process in Mumbai, except that it took 2 hours of waiting.
My 9:30 appt actually happened at 11:45.....
But yes, there were many many people who had demand draft's in their hand, either of full fees or the difference.....
Thanks man!
Did you stay in nearby hotel to consulate? If yes please share name.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!
So is this bill passes, can a person with a PhD apply for a GC without an employer (same as EB1)? I am confused...

I agree that IV should be focused, but this doesn't mean that all the tasks within that focus group need to be worked on in one go. I was just suggesting that excluding dependents from visa numbers is something that we can probably add to a forthcoming bill. Or at the very least, let dependents file for I-485 without the requirement that PD of the primary applicant be current. Just think about it, the main reason why the majority of the members are happy now is because they expect to get EADs for their spouses so they can start working, not because their GCs will be obtained any sooner. Let's not forget a potentially sizable portion of our member base (whether they have already contributed is another matter, this might actually inspire them all to contribute) who while thankful to IV are unsure of what lies ahead for them and their (future) spouses.
And yes, my sympathies out to the labor backlog victims too. With hundreds of thousands of people applying for their AOS now, I wonder when they would be able to file for their I485 at all. The same question is being asked by many singles as well.

Hi Friends,
I am a permanent employee for "x" company, my 140 filed on May 1,2007 waiting for approval, 485 filed on August 22,2007 not been approved either, we just got our EAD's, also please note that i am on 6th year extension on h1... my company "x" moving all projects to the different company "y" from December 1, 2007. ie we are all moving to "y" with the same job title just everything is same istead of "x" it is now "y" company.
When i called my legal department and ask them about green card status they simply said nothing to worry... everything will be moved to "y" company, as a transition exployees..
Be honest with you guys...from the last 4 days... i could not sleep... i really dont know what to do in this situation, this is the reason.. i am seeking your help. can some one guide me or answer below questions please.
1. 140 filed 05/01/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 180 days with "X" company
2. 485 filed 08/22/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 90 days with "x" company
3. EAD approved
4. Travel documents approved
5. I am on H1 6th year extension.
6. Transition employee.
my question is
1 Can my green card status remains the same and continue the process with the new "y" company ?
2.Do "y" company has to start processing labour/140 again ??
3.Is it doable that moving everything from "x" to "y" including GC processings ??
Thanks in advance...Kindly help me out in this situation like how to proceed from here
With sincere regards...

Can undrstand your anxiety and hope things will workout for you.
But your details are sketchy...what do you mean by all the projects from your current company are being moved to another company: is the new company Y is buying your current company X. Then you might be OK. I remember reading somewhere that - in case of a merger your application for I140/I485 will not be disturbed if the new company takes over all the assets/debts of the old company. Search in these forums on company merger (more on other popular forums) and you will get more info. Understand the agreement between the two companies (your current X and new Y) - if its a straight forward acquisition (taking over assets and also debts and all previous agreed upon contacts) then you will be fine - I know because I have been thru an acquision during a pending I140.

would all AOS applicants receive FP notice or only those whose PD is current.
Your interpretation of the question is incorrect :p:p
I am sure about your answer though...:)
Labor Approval Date: 8/13/2007
I-140 Approved sept 2005 Attorney incorrectly applied EB3
Applied second I-140 EB2 May 2007 EB2
I-485 applied June 29th
I-485 receipt notice received Aug 15
EAD approved Aug 17
YOU APPLIED ON JUNE 29TH AND GOT EAD ON AUGUST 17?. WOW!:eek:
SO WHO FILED IN JULY, CAN WE EXPECT EAD IN SEPT?.

1. I got my passport renewed in New York but it was only when about 180 days were left to expire.
2. I am not sure about the same day delivery although I will suggest that do not go personally to the consulate instead send it through mail unless you are in a hurry as I had a very bad experience ( Same as any sarkari office in India) when I went in personally for my son's PIO.
3. I got my photograph done from CVS.
I hope it helps.

Does it mean that these developments or should we call no developments on the high skilled immigration front in the developed countries have an underlying message for all of us? Return back to your home countries.... In USA, one positive thing was that it has been 'the melting pot' of people of all cultures and nationality to come together. I will give you an example: my friends 2 year old says that he is an American and not his native origin. In UK, you will still find 3rd generation people telling their nationality to be of their native oigin.
In USA, the immigrants intergrated with the society but in Europe, the message is clear, you are here that is ok, but live in the other side of the city and have limited opportunities. If Sensenbrenner and co have their way, US would be on the same path.

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.
See that's what I exactly said in my last post. The COS that is obtained in the US is a "privelege" it is by no means supposed to over ride what the consulate decides in terms of the visa stamp. That is exactly the reason some of the applications get a H1 approval without the I-94. This is done because they are in no position to verify a lot of things that the consulate can verify. If you have a valid H4 stamp and you want to get back into H4 status instead of applying for another COS, you can go out of the country and enter using H4 and your status will change to H4.
Anyway, like I said in our case I asked the IO behind the counter in vancouver if she can use H4 to enter the US his response was "It depends on the officer at the POE ". Guys I spent a good two days researching this topic while we were stuck in vancouver. Basically you can come back but your status is reverted back to H4. You are not supposed to work once you are in the US. In our case we immediately applied for another COS prem processing within the US and it got approved. My wife again changed jobs last year on H1 and that got approved too.
In this case, the misrepresentation of facts in her H1 app is something the poster might want to get clarified. She should be fine.
