Dollar500,
First, Congratulations on your trip and hope you have a nice and worry free holidays.
I can understand that there are couple of posts that went quite far than you'd normally expect from this forum. It's just that people here are really worried bout raising the funds...and trying to grab every single dollar out there...and you had 'dollar500' on your name:) asking for a cruise question.
It's nobody's business to question you about your cruise and I'm sure those folks did not mean to interfere in your business. They are just trying their best to ask you in a poilte way, if you would be willing to donate some money this holiday season to IV.
These folks who have offered you suggestions or who asked you to leave or the folks like me who are requesting you to stay are NO closer/strangers to IV than YOU are. IV is as much as yours as anybody else's. You are really welcome here and people love your posts(this one is exceptional timing:))
So, Please make up your mind and donate this holiday season.
How about this, let me take the ownership of this question...I'll get this one answered with 99.9% accurate information. How much are you willing to donate IV?( I don't have the answer yet.) You can donate after you comeback from cruise. Just a pledge would suffice now.

Hi guyz,
Bit of addtional information that might be just what was needed to make final call.
I spoke to Fragomen, my Law firm, and they informed me that priority date for filing I 45 (Green Card last stage) is current for Labor applications (EB3) filed in April 2001 and unless something dramatic happens again, things will move at its own pace.
My Labor (in EB3) was filed in March 2003. Estimated time to get GC might be anywhere between 1 year to ... who knows....
I am leaning towards resigning and start it fresh.. wherever...even If it is US fresh H1 will always be there.
Thanks for your help and advises
Regards,
Alp
What if France is at par or worst than USA for immigration/visa purposes? Your fresh start may become rotten there too.

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
Yes, You can certainly do that. If it would have been Year 2000 it was very simple but now in year 2007 it's bit tedious. I am Trying to explain as under. And this is not a legal advice just an opinion.
Rule:
-----
More than 180 days stay in USA (You will have to prove that) is a MUST condition for getting ITIN. The key is more than 180 days. It does not tell that stay should be continuous.
How to do it?
------------
1) Have US MULTIPLE ENTRY Visitor visa, generally 6 months visa are
granted. But that is 180 days not more than 180 days. No Problem.. Go to
step 2
2) During first stay of 6 months of stay in USA, get Canadian Vistor visa and
send your parents to Canada on the day before the last day of the
first stay.
3) After some days invite your parents back to USA. This will most probably a
another 6 month grant.
4) Do not call IRS for applying ITIN
5) Search for the bank in your area which requires and processes ITIN
application directly with IRS for the application of opening checking/savings
bank account for the people who do not have social security number. Every state and major city has such kind of
banks. Your regular bank may not be autorized by IRS to apply for ITIN on behalf of its
customer.
6) Go to that bank and tell the manager to open a checking account for
Visitor visa holder and from that point onwards bank will take care of.
7) Wait for 15 to 20 days and you will have your Parents ITINs mailed to you.
8) And in next return you will be able to claim them as dependent.
Note: Guys who did in year 2000 around did not have to take this tedious route. So you mayl get both kind of opinions in this forum. If somebody says just apply to IRS tehn that guy probably might have done it in at least 4 years back. But nowadays you may have to do as I worte. Take the advise from your CPA.

I love your optimism.
1) EB 2 will be current. You are saying 09 Apr. I disagree. It will be at least 2 years before EB2 can be current.
2) After EB2 is current EB3 ROW will be advanced. You are saying 09 Apr. Again I disagree. To make EB3 ROW current will take up to 2 years after EB2 is made current.
3) After that EB3 will move. You are saying 09 Apr. I couldn�t disagree more. Even after that EB3 will get visa not used by all others for that year.
Thanks for being optimistic about EB3 but EB3 movement is not going to happen anytime soon.
EB3 I and in general all EB applicants need a solution now.
Until this process becomes so painful for us that we either go back or do a mass movement to get some legislative relief there are no better days for us.
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 likely hood 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.

You wont be watching the visa bulletin after 12 years as by then you have got you GC or you are back in your home country since your patience would run off by then.
Whatever be the case, its better to forget keeping a track of when the Visa "sad News" Bulletin is going to come and predict.
Good Luck!

on 630 KHOW (Capliss & Silverman).
Congressman Udall spoke at length how the conference committee is formed, how it operates and how decisions are reached.
One thing he said is particularly noteworthy. He said, he reads his fellow congressmen and the mood of the House, and at this moment there are 300 congressmen (out of a total of 525) willing to vote in favor of the senate version of the comprehensive immigration bill as it is.
As I said in my posts elsewhere in IV, let's keep our eyes and ears open for the opnions of representatives and follow up on that.
300 out of 435 Reps is a huge and victorious number! Or, did you include the 100 Senators in the broad definition of Congressmen? Even, then 300-67 = 233 is a successful number in the House!

I listen to this guy everyday on my way back from work. He is a very unpredictable guy. I haven't heard him say anything for or against Indians. However he is very anti-latino and anti-chinese. He even doesn't want the chinese students coming here. He has said several times that this country is being run over by legal and illegal immigrants.
I have thought about calling him several times but firstly he is difficult to get through to, secondly he may not comprehend that legal immigration is beneficial in more ways than he ever imagined. He is a very egoistic person and insults people who don't agree with his ideas. He is also jealous of others (competitors). He openly said that he took pleasure in Rush Limbaugh's arrest recently on prescription fraud. He declared that it is the end of Rush's radio show.
Personally I don't think we are going to gain much talking to him. However I have a suggestion. We can try calling him and just ask his opinion about high skilled legal immigration without mentioning a word about who you are, or about IV, or illegal immigration (which might irritate him).

Any number lesser than 800,000 is good for us.. doesnt mean all is well.. we have to continue in our efforts with IV and we could have a better breakthrough..
Anything less than 800,000 is good... even a few hundred thousand less :) There's still a lot of work and patience required but a good news is a good news nevertheless.

Sorry, just trying to lighten you up...relax dude just wait it out you should be alright. the key is to turn in as much information as possible when required. and submit the original copies wherever you can.
all the best.
also since its a govt organization, my LC juz said 4 years bachelors or equivalent. i do have a Masters from an US state university. so not sure what could be the RFE.. ability of pay is not an issue i guess, cos its govt. what other rfe's are there?

RFE is about company asking about the company payrolls, number of employees, Taxes filed for the last 3 years, Company location, my company to client relation etc etc.
It seems that you company has had some past/present issues with INS/USCIS. The RFE is comprehensive enough to cover entire employer history and it appears that USCIS has termed your employer as "staffing company" (that is reason for client contract).
It does not look like good time for your employer. Unfortunately, it is the employees who are hardest hit due to employer's karma.
Contact a good attorney ASAP.
I repeat, Contact a good attorney ASAP.

My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?
andy
Q1: Is H4 only valid for children under 21. What happens to children who have been here for long on H4 status and turn 21?
Q2: If the answer to the first part of Q1 is YES, will the approved I140 (that included the dependent H4) be valid?

I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?
NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.

Since I am older and wiser now, I can easily take them.
Yes, I must correct myself. It is not 525 (even though that is what the ever hurrying radio talk show hosts said).
That's even better. Percentage wise it is now 300/435. How about that?
I was away this morning for a big community project that I am involved in. I wanted to round that off with a morning brunch with the Congressman I quoted, but couldn't pull it off. I had met Mr. Mark Udall a couple of times in Friendship and Business Chamber get together in Denver, CO. He is a fine gentleman.
I prey his words come true at the earliest. Got to go. Have to mow the lawn, as per home minister/ interior secretary.
Bye. Ciao.
I guess so .... but we should give learning01 the benefit of doubt given that learning01 is in a way the eyes and ears of IV.... keeping track of what's happening in the media.
That was a genuine slip (of no real consequence) and I definitely commend you on your efforts learning01!!

Canada - I had PR Document (no PR Card in those days) , i am assuming i might have lost the status now. Tired to establish in Canada while working in US during Year 2000, couldn't do it for long.
Coming to Detriot -Windsor , i olny did it for a few weeks , Here's my Exp -
toomuch hassle everyday, extensive questioning in the border, delays and issue with Income /property tax / on both the sides, etc etc..
So i thought for a while and decided it doesn't worth the pain.
Stayed back in the US with a hope to get GC (before i have to get a sponsorship from my US born kid) and never been to canada since then.
