I just applied to lending tree on wednesday for 450k loan. Still nobody contacted me :(. I have an excellent credit history and me and my wife both are using our history to apply. Finally looks the market is really tight in credit. Last time I applied for auto loan I got replies in couple of hours.
Good luck. I am still hunting in NJ and want to get preapproved.

Scythe - that would mean that the three tied entries would get around $85 dollars (150+100 divided by 3), and that seems a bit unfair considering second place is $150 and third place is $100.
I'll get the poll up right now. It took me a little longer than expected because Temp poked me in the eye with his poke.
:P
Technically this is a tie for third, not first. So all of the first, second and third prize money could've been combined and split between the three tied entries.
But run-offs are better anywho.

Hey, I have a question too
- How come people like me go red after 1-2 posts, and utter rascals here remain fully green even after redded by many?
Even though the context of your question and intention is suspicious at best....it's actually a really good question.
Let me restate it for the benefit of others
Q. How does the red and green rating system truly work?
A. The general rule that it is directly related to how much fellow members like your post holds true but there are also some finer details. Supervisors/admins can award much higher points either positive or negative. The total number of your posts even if unrated is a factor...generally unrated posts tilt the balance towards positive...which makes sense since no one found it offensive.
So becoming green is easy when the majority of your posts help your fellow IV members.
It's really tough to stay red when you have a large number of posts cause lots of fellow members have to rate your posts negatively.
Hope this helps.
Admins can chime in here and clarify if I haven't explained it right.
It's good to have a clear explanation of policy.

05/26/2006: Critical Role of House-Senate Conference Committee and Importance of Selection of the Conferees
More than ever, in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation, the role of the upcoming House-Senate Conference Committee will be critically important. Traditionally, once conference committee reaches an agreement, the floors of both Houses usually accepted the compromise report of the conference committee. It is thus critically important to learn who will be selected to the conference committee by each House. The key players in the selection are the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, Majority and Minority leaders in both Houses.
In the Senate, the floor has already decided how the conferees from the Senate will be selected. It proposes to send conferees at the ratio of 14 from the House and 12 from the Senate. On the Senate side, all the conferees will be selected from the Judiciary Committee at the ratio of 7 from the Republicans and 5 from the Democrats. On the Republican side, the Majority leader will select the seven Republican conferees and the Minority leader will select the five Democrat conferees. Without doubt, the Democrats will select the hardcore supporters of the CIR, but it is unclear who the Majority leader Bill Frist will pick on the Republican side. He may attempt to balance between the hardcore supporters and the hardcore opponents within the party. We just wish that the hardcore Republican opponents who posed a roadblock to the today's passage of the bill in the Senate as revealed in the amendment and final roll calls do not take a dominant power on the Republican side of the Senate delegaton. Readers may want to know who these opponents are by checking the voting records of S. 2611.

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.

Its the courtesy of USCIS and highlighting of our problems by IV made USCIS to issue cards for 2 years... there is no requirement that it should be as such... in general any EAD unless its L* is generally issued for 1 year with exception of C09-employment category where they are issued in looking at Priority date [ofcourse there are other exceptions like asylum... etc] if they dont get biometrics from their repository at the time of printing , they waive some of the features like fingerprint, signature etc.
Thanks for the explanation, now I understand why my wife got only 1yr validity, where as I got 2yr. In reality my wife got only 11 months validity, as the from date started a month before we actually received it in the mail. It is a big pain and expense to renew every 11 months, if this is the case. Another gripe is that my validity started 2 months before the current one expired, effectively reducing the 2yr to 1yr and 10 months. It still better than 1yr, but I don't understand why they get simple things like this wrong.
It is funny that I used to wait until the last minute to renew my car registration when I first arrived in the US, thinking I would loose time, but when I learned that that is not the case, I started registering at my convenience. Since EAD renewal is not as simple, we tend to apply early, and that results in getting some time lost. How early do you normally apply?

While I do not want to sound discouraging or pessimistic, this is a very good idea and we must do things like this.
Now, it is just not enough if we make this suggestion and discuss it - we must walk the talk. Will we?
To start with, we can do a lot of stuff, get our co workers, families, friends etc.. involved, print flyers, send emails, post blogs, make videos and post them on youtube, hold local community events and increase awareness.
Our own community is still very ignorant and is indirectly working against us, lok at this post on immigration portal

you will understand why things are so difficult for our community.
Our first step will be to concentrate on community building. This is very important. We need to reqruit more volunteers, and they in turn reqruit more volunteers. We must first build a strong community and have a strong foundation.
The reason I am posting this message is to say that whatever novel ideas like the above that have come up in the past have not gone towards getting implemented they just were discusssed and got buried into old threads.
So my question is "can we walk the talk?"

Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks

catch22
02-28 11:53 AM
Catch22 - Seems like u hv touched the surface now.
It's more deep-rooted, even to an extent that the two Countries are sharing the "acquired" Citizens (thanks to the dual Citizenship format). It didn't amount to the Indian Govt saying " Give me back my elite. I just lost it" and the US Govt saying "Sorry, it's our gain and for keeps". It's all part of an elaborate and acknowledged process (creamy situation for the individual) .
US needs the Skilled force and matches them up with opportunities (some other countries have the force in abundance and are overwhelmed). At no point in time should the force be subjected to undue hardship, especially if a process can be remedied. Immigrating is tough. Alongside, a host of collaterals get pledged by - families, roots, skills, labor, career, merit, all towards one goal. It's a conscious decision that an individual involved makes and backs it up with his credentials. If these credentials are deemed meritorious, the process starts (in a mutually acceptable manner, if there exists a provision). If rules get changed midway affecting those collaterals, you raise it with the concerned. In this situation, I give this much to the Indian Government - it's for its people (doesn't mean to say that it lies in wait to net a wings-clipped bird). It would honour your decision and look into your cause, if justifiable. In the same vein, the US Government acknowledges merit and talent and has laid out provisions by which it welcomes the same. Hence, the process.
Word of caution: It's also in the way that you put across your viewpoint
I am not sure what makes you feel that India is overwhelmed with talent that they have to request America to take in some of these folks. India is not a war-torn country that America has to take in Indian refugees.
BTW, America does not recognise "Dual citizenship" or acquired citizenship or whatever. To your point, even if India and America were moving towards closer co-operation, the Indian Government can only ask America for increased "temporary" visas (H1B) for free movement of 'Services', per WTO. Certainly NOT lobby for Permanent Resident Status for its citizens in a foreign country. Sorry, my friend, your rationale is too utopian for me. I, unfortunately, live in the real world.
P.S: My previous post was more rhetorical. I did not mean to hurt or harm anyone.

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.

to file a new set of 485s for the new current PD when two individuals have pending 485s and a A# assigned.
The great ways of USCIS.
Anilsal.. it is perfectly fine and allowed to have multiple AOS application, and in many ways common too... a friend of mine had his EB 485 pending, he then got married to a US citizen... he had to file another AOS to get GC through marriage.
Sometimes people have FB AOS pending and they apply EB AOS.... so this was nothing out of the ordinary.
The A# is used to merge the applications. So there are no open cases if one is approved... hope this makes sense.
