My H1 B Visa and my wife's H4 is being transfered to a new employer. We filed under premium processing last friday (30th May). We have a family emergency and my question is whether my wife can travel to India before our applications are approved. I will remain in the country. Only she will be travelling. Your inputs will be much appreciated in this trying time.
I believe your wife can travel. I was in a similar situation couple of years back where We had to travel while the transfer was pending and when contacted the attorney, they did not raise any issues.
Luckily, we got our approvals before we actually left and was not a issue. Again, it was more than 2 Yrs back, so pls do consult attorney.

Are USCIS related expenses like visa/lawyer fees etc. tax deductible? :confused:

concentrate on IV Rally instead....guys..
Who has gained any solace from Calling USCIS....
the tier 1 2, or 3 or Tier N at USCIS know nothing......
All we know ...there is bound to be delays...ther e will always be a few lucky ones getting receipts and stuff in a months time....but most of us like the GC process itself will be backlogged again....for receipts now....
I suggest we make IV our horse and ride it to end the problem at its source rather than calling USCIS and hoping for an Update from themmmm
They would already be pissed at us due to VB July restoration...
So attack the problem at the source.

Hi All,
Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.
Appreciate all of your help in this regard.
Thanks
Other than the copy of your marriage certificate, pictures, children's birth certificate, etc., you can send an affidavit signed by a notary public, perhaps someone who works at the local municipality/city hall, etc. In addition, you should submit proof of joint financial holdings such as copy of this year's 1040 and state tax forms filled as "married filing jointly" (if you did so), a joint bank account, joint property ownership such as house and car, joint car insurance, home insurance, other bills (to show both of you are living at the same address), etc.
However, I would recommend using a lawyer (if not your lawyer whom you seem not to like) for preparing the RFE; I guess you do not want to suffer setbacks in your GC processing merely for saving $400!

I applied on July 16th & got EAD on Sept 24th.
No news on AP & biometrics.
Other coworkers who applied at same time have mixed results - 2 got only fingerprints, 4 got EADs, 1 got EAD & AP. I think it is all random

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a TN-Visa ?
Other than having to get 1 year visa by visiting the border every 1 year what is the difference b/n this and a GC ?

Cmon ever since independece we have never been united on any cause. I see threads from Gandhigiri(sending roses)...TO .. "no work on 13th"petition. But cmon look at the responses, e.g. no working day petions had only 75 votes , of which most are scared to put there employer name info. etc.
75 here 120 there..do you guys really think with these numbers will make our voices heard .. On the other end lot of people are happy about the revision of the July bulletin and yes that includes the ones stuck in BEC (hypocrisy check! ) and the desi employers who perhaps were fasting/praying or something for this to happen... :-)
Its a number's game. We will never make our voices heard unless we can join hundred of thousands for a cause. I appreciate what IV has attempted to do, but it's an inherent problem with people like us, every one is out there trying to get ahead of the line. If given the choice most would exploit each other to take advantage. I mentioned "desis" perhaps, the problem we face is quite fitting to people from populous nations. I think we are looking at the problem from a very micro level(green card backlog).. The glut in immigration is nothing new and represents similar issues faced in India or China etc.
I am sounding completely pessimistic, but its the harsh reality. Perhaps we are not tuned to be united, we've been raised, bred to be just competitive and anything else which is a byproduct of competition.
just my 2 cents.
pls before anyone starts shouting at my post. Throw the hypocrisy out of the door and then reply.
It's unfortunate, but that's the reality. History says that "British took advantage of divide and rule concept in India during their rule." If the empherors/kings/people were united, that wouldn't have possible for the British.
I know their are few people really good, but the numbers aren't good enough. Hope and wish the coming generation wil, change the history. :-)

I do not think, number of employees matter. I work for a desi company and it has just 2 employees. Labor was breeze and 140 got approved in 4 weeks. Never got any RFE. However, I was in EB-3 despite having 4 years bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience.

While thousands of Indians are trying their best to make a cut into citizenship club, here is one Indian-origin Doctor bringing bad name by commiting immigration fraud.
Psychiatrist gets 10 months, gave fake citizenship waivers to 492 | Detroit Free Press | Freep.com (http://www.freep.com/article/20090818/NEWS03/90818074/1318/Psychiatrist-gets-10-months--gave-fake-citizenship-waivers-to-492)
Dr. Chikamarri Ramesh got 10 months imprisonment. He should have been deported.
What I don't understand is what is the importance of this news?
It seems like a US person (he may even been born in US) committed a crime; and got punished. What he did is shameful. But how does it matter if he was of Indian origin or Somalian origin!! (by the way, there is no mention in the news about "indian origin"; he was just a US person and that's all he still is.) That's the beauty of this country, no descrimination.
If you still eventually want to be identified in news as "of indian origin" rather than US person, you are in a wrong country. This is a melting pot where you will be accepted as "one of them", but you also must have of spirit of "becoming one of them". And yes, you are proudly allowed and you should carry your own heritage with you, just make it a part of the whole society.
Hope you understand.

Reason is probably they discovered your employer is doing similar crap with other employees.
Right now there is zero tolerance for these kind of abuses by employers.

Yes i had also applied OCI for my child about 6 months back and was denied since we parents hold indian citizenship. Does anybody know that registering every 6 months is a must ? Some of my friends have permanentely gone back to India i am not sure what they are doing though since there kids hold US Citizenship. Any infomation on this will be helpful.
- A child under age 16 (with any visa, including PIO) don't need to register with FRRO. But many Indian immigration officials conveniently forget this and harass you. So you better take a print out from official Indian Government website.
- PIO card holder needs to register with FRRO when the stay exceeds 6 months for the first time and that registration is valid until PIO expires. PIO is valid for 15 years, so you will register once in 15 years at the most.
Google for references. If you don't find it, I will look up and post it.

DUDES,
I appreciete your's feedback....but my PD is current as of now ( again it may retrogess in future...who Knows....) and please note I am not using subsititution labor approvals...

I have applied for renewal of H1b and H4 by premium processing on 10-Jan-2010 based on pending green card. I got an RFE for my H1b for which my employer replied on 10-Feb-2010. My H1b got approved where as my wifes H4 got rejected on 22-Feb-2010. Still waiting for denial letter from USCIS. My wifes I-94 got expired on 11-Feb-2010. So is she out of status since 11-Feb-2010. What are my options. Is it better to re-open (MTR) case or go to india and re apply for H4. how is this out of status going to affect her chances of getting renewd in India or her green card application. Any other ideas. Please help.
First a correction: your wife is not "out of status from Feb 11", but actually she is supposed to leave once the denial came on Feb 22. (she was fine between feb 11 and feb 22 as her extension was pending).
She starts to accure illegal presence starting from Feb 22.
Best option for her would be to go back, get a new H4 stap based on your approved H1 and come back; I can not see any problem with that (as far as I can see). Now risk with this entirely depends on the grounds of the denial of her H4 (but if it was denied for some minor reason or by mistake, I dont see any problem at all). This is the best way to solve this and also to make sure GC process is not affected.
Good Luck.
