Friends I want to point out a few things. But before that Wanted to let you know that Diwali is my major festival too and I celebrate Diwali with great respect. I do not think the importance of Diwali will get diminished in the heart of people irrespective of the fact they are mentioned in media.
However, I do not understand why we are discussing whether Diwali is mentioned in Google or on some media. Google inc is a business organization and they will do whatever they feel is good for their business. Only their shareholders can dictate them. If we are not the major shareholders then why are we bothered. They would write about Diwali if they like. Why we should try to press our religion over others. Everyone should be free to follow their own. Else we will become part of the religious fanatics.
Secondly this is an Immigration forum. If I remember IV is for all immigrants in USA and not just for a particular country(origin) or religion. These type of discussion will try to create division amoung us the immigrants who are from all religions.
Actually I just wanted to point out the generic indifference shown towards the feeling of people of India by mainstream western media and governments - the long wait in immigration queue and ignoring the plight of Indian legal immigrant aspirants , setting a per country quota ignoring its population representation is just an extension of the same mentality... and I also wanted to point out how this mentality of deliberately ignoring Indian feelings and values is going to become increasingly irrelevant in the changing world where BRIC countries will wield increasing power.

Some of us here are under the grand illusion that
(a) the lawmakes consider relief for skilled immigrants in isolation to be an important enough issue that they will make it a priority
(b) Relief for EB immigrants is totally non-controversial and everybody and his brother will back us.
Both assumptions are dead wrong. If 900 of the biggest companies and universities in america cannot convince congress to make SKIL bill a priority, then you know what a formidable challenge lies ahead of us.
As for EB relief being non-controvesial, I only need give one counter-example : S 1932.
We are all desperate for any relief : I repeat ANY. To think that the core team would be so shortsighted as to only pursue grandiose bills like CIR and not be on the look out for smaller relief measures is naive and severely underestimating their intelligence.

I was wondering how L1 can be allowed instate tuition while H1-B's have to pay out of state according to the Arizona list. What exactly is the fundamental difference between the 2 which results in L1's fulfilling the requirements?
GCard Dream - You should ask the question - what part of the statute does L1 fulfil that H1B does not -
I'm sure you can give these guy's a run for their money. One thing - if you pursue it long and hard enough I think there is a chance that you can get instate tuition. The only area I was concerned about was the domicile part but if L1's can prove domicile so can H1-B's.
I already fought this for three good years! I don't know how they allow L1 to enjoy in-state tuituion and not H1B. I provided links to USCIS website to ASU to prove that L1 and H1 are similar non-immigrant visa. I gave up after they could not provide any reasonable response.

If you dont have an answer to the question asked dont reply and dont advise what people should do....
keep that to your kids and good luck with that....
I just check oxford dictionary to make sure whether I screwed somewhere but what I found is it was request to dollar500 from my side. It was not a advise. Rather you are advising me not to advise.. Is not it contradictory?
And if at all poster might have felt bad about my request s/he should have replied my post. Why on earth you wanted to jump in?

Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?

Lou Dobbs is a xenophobiac and doesn't listen no matter what argument you put in front of him.He is single mindedly focussed on opposing immigrants , be it legal or illegal.He just wants to project himself as a champion for the causes of American middle class, totally ignoring the contribution immigrants have made to build this country.Let that bugger speak , we will also protest & put our point of view in the right way & at the right forum.

The main issue is not the expiry date of the DL, the issue is why make us verify all the documents and add the 6 month validity constraint even for "Change of Address" requests, and why give us a completely different Vertical Style DL unlike the standard Horizontal style DL.
Also, I have not reached that stage, but what happens with people with EAD? You have to renew every year and can renew only 120 days before Expiry. The expiry date of DL and expiry date of EAD will keep chasing each other and at some point you will LOCKED OUT of DL because of the 6 months validity constraint...
People from other states = Do you have to go through the whole verification process even for "change of address" requests?

My college got his I140 approved just in 2 months with normal processing. He filed in EB2-I. Mine was also approved last year in 2 months in EB2-I. Does the location from where are you applying affect processing time?
Not necessarily , But it does depends on what is load of work at a given time at given location. TCS was ahead of NSC last year but they shifted workload from NSC to TCS so now TCS is little behind. But once TCS cleans up all files it can go ahead. Processing dates are nothing but indication for when to open a Service Request at local office. If your case is behind that date you can open SR.For straight forward cases approvals comes fast. For those who are stuck they should monitor Processing time and see if their app is lagging behind proc time. They should contact USCIS.

Never go directly to a bank for your mortgage. Let the lenders fight for your money! Plus mortgage companies will combine a few loans together, present to the bank and get a overall lower (group) rate.

I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Please someone who is net savvy or from the core team could you please create something like this: where we can track people's contribution.
This is not so that people can finger point but so that people who have not paid are "tempted" and people who have made major contributions are recognized.
Thanks

Yes, this is not falling in place with their processing dates. But i think, you should be getting your approval any time. May be, have your attorney contact Vermont center for inquiry. Or you can call the customer service directly.
I filed for H-1 extension on Aug 23rd. Still not approved. Dont know why they have dates at Oct.......

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Is LLC corp employer eligible to do H-1 transfer? I have an American citizen friend who has a LLC corp and work as an independent contractor. Can he file for my H-1 transfer and can I work for him?
His annual income is about 150 to 200K. I think he takes about 100K as salary and rest as company profit.
I have my 140 approved and 485 pending (>180 days).
Any potential risks with this approach?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.
Ask him to double check if his clients are using credit cards to do the transfers. Using a bank account has 0 transfer fee for domestic transfers. Not sure if the same applies to international transfers but good to double check.
Edit: Sorry, sanjudba already made a reply similar to mine.

Hello Friends:
Recently Vermont center processing time for H-1B extensions moved to Oct-1-2007. As per new USCIS reporting method of processing times, what this means is, they have COMPLETED processing applications received as of Oct-1-2007. This means, people who have applied for extension after Oct-1st should be getting their approvals these days.
I want to find out which dates currently they are at based on your feedback of your application date and whether you received approval or not as of today.
My case: Applied Oct-30-2007 Status: Pending
Thanks.
