No banks can match the deal of Penfed.org. My brother in law and younger brother bought their mortages from them.
I don't own a home, I don't belive it is right time to buy the home. If you can wait, wait till next Summer.

Someone referred this creditunion in this post and when i checked the rates, they seem to be better than dcu.org.
When i checked the eligibility criteria to join penfed, its vague and it seems that if i join military officers assn of america for 13dollar annual membership(which i dont need to retain) , i can get their membership. Is this correct?
If i get membership with this moaa, would that hurt my greencard process as the greencard assumes no affiliation with any military associations etc... (i remember some questions like that). Can someone please advise ?
Thanks

please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.
This is not fear mongering. You DO NOT have a grace period for H1B termination as you do on F1-OPT or anything similar.
The right way to stay in H1 status is to get a transfer BEFORE the termination date on your H1B.
In reality however, USCIS may not look at it from a zero tolerance policy while ACTUALLY adjudicating the case. They may approve the transfer if the paystubs are "RECENT" enough or may send an RFE. The usual criteria for recent is two weeks or sometimes upto a month. Anything longer is at your own risk.
The 6 month period hoolahous refers to in the link is for "UNAUTHORIZED EMPLOYMENT" meaning working for an employer other than your H1b sponsoring entity usually the H1B petition is still valid. I believe that is not the case here.
If you would like to stay on H1 status, my suggestion would be to apply for a transfer with another employer before the end date of your current job.
If that does not work, you always have the option of using EAD to get another job, but in the meantime your status should be fine as you have filed for your 485 and you will be in AOS.
As always, check with an attorney for your specific situation and use your best judgement.
Good Luck!

unfortunately, I think there is more demand than supply for EB2 India Mostly (maybe China too)...which will not let any relief be brought to any EB3 categories....If USCIS keeps allocating spillovers to EB2...they will never quell that demand.
I agree with Nixtor that dates for EB2 (I and C) will go back again..to at least 2004 if not later.

Thanks Krishna and snathan! That answers most of my questions.
snathan:
11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
NO
I guess you meant "NO" to # 11 and "YES" to #12 - right?

IV is the only group that is trying something for EB gc's!!! If you don't agree with IV mission statement - least you can do is SHUT UP! If you have other selfish agenda's take them some place else... don't use IV as a platform to segregate a group.
(In my personal opinion... IV should BAN anyone who suggests anything that breaks this group down! Enough is ENOUGH!)
____________________________
Mission Statement
The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority.
_____________________________
P.S sorry for the rant - but some of the threads are really disappointing... EB2 vs EB3, Masters vs Non-masters....
It is very disappointing to see the division among the IV members, We need to look for a long term solution rather than fighting for individual short term solution

IMO, there could be unfortunate situations for anybody which may seem to be like one will go out-of-status. Best option is go to a good attorney. It is not cheap option but certainly it is best way to get things answered professionally within a specific time period. It will also prevent your case to be wide open on forums for any agency or anti-s to target you. You will also be protected by attorney client confidentiality agreements.
I saw some questions like "I am not working on H1B though I have visa. Or things like "I am not paid on bench. Is that alright". Does it need anybody to confirm that you could be out of status? Quite naive to ask that on forum.
Best option, do not violate any law intentionally. When we take so much care by not even jay-walking, we should be super careful about the immigration laws and statuses.

it seems democrats are making this bill so liberal that even liberal republican will have tough time to support it.... in that case democrats can say republican are not in favor of immigrants and Bush is not able to manage any support from his party.... We can't say anything for sure...but a very liberal bill will have really tough time to go through.....

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

Funds, There are more ideas than funds. For every new campaign, plan, we need funds. So it is an ever needed commodity. We can do a lot and lobby effectively, we just need more funds, plain and simple. Inspite of several hundreds contributing, it is not enough. Remember IV is a non-profit, so every penny is accounted for. People handling money (core IV) are sincere, honest hardworking people on work-visas, they have much to lose from not being accountable. And the most important thing is, please take a look at these hard-working IV CORE PEOPLE, please. Some of them have put thousands of dollars (I mean 5 and ten thousand) into this effort. I am not counting personal expenses, travelling to DC, lost work hours etc.
So your $100 at the bowling arena, or $50 at dinner or $35 bouquet wont get you much farther, but your recurring contribution to IV will.
Amitjoey,
Don't you think it's a good idea to post:
Total Contributions Received:
Total Expenses:
Balance:
Efforts Undertaken:
On a weekly or monthly basis by the IV Core?
I think that would motivate fellow members to contribute more (or less in some cases).

Need to travel via British airways. H1b visa is expired and need to get UK transit visa.
Any experiences on the quickest way to get this?
thx
Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
