Dear Trsspk
Did you work during all these 9 years? or were you a student first?
What is 10 year rule? Do you have to work for 10 years to get SS benefits? Do F-1 visa years count if you worked as a student? Where is official description of 10 year rule?
Can one confirm for sure that I'm eligible for SS benefits..(Its been 9 yrs and one more here I can spend to reach that magic figure).
Ok, I'm not much into look at this on pros and cons way..
The strong points for me to get motivated to go back are:
1. Kids...I feel its better for kids grewup in india for the kind of importance we give for education. Its hard to see atleast in my experience the true spirit of competetiveness....the way we had....
2. Career..I worked in india as a lead and manager before coming here...and though no one offered me mgmt jobs here..I'm not ready to take ..due to the facts known to everyone...here we just can't be managers...(not a rule of thumb..)..Now I see better things happening back at home..salaries are amazing....(politics are there no matter where you are)..I'm confortable in saying my savings more or less matches even the kind of income I'm targetting...
3. Life...guys...I don't know how you guys term it in your experience...but I feel sick in cleaning bathrooms and kitchens and doing laundry and ironing...day after day every day....common...we deserve doing much better things..
4. Routine:...guys..Its just routine...nothing changes...monotony kills me...
I don't say things would be rosy there...but...I feel more satisfying in visiting places in india than driving bloody 500 miles around to take photographs..nothing gives you a feeling of belongingness..I am ready to take hardships for the sake of my parents...I want to visit them on demand..vise versa...and quality of life...common guys..we grew up there...don't we enjoy being there till we come here..??..

Gurus,
If I deposit ~ 1000$ ( 49,000 Rs) everymonth in the NRO account at ICICI or HDFC. Total for the year would be 12K. Do I have to submit this form. From definition it seems that " If aggregate value of these accounts exceeds $ 10K at any time" means that total sum of accounts 1,2,3 should not exceed 10K at anytime inorder for someone to not file this.
Any input?
Thanks
Yes. If your aggregate sum exceeds $10000 in a calendar year, you need to file FBAR. This is not just for non-immigrants but for everybody including U.S citizens and GC holders.

That is only if the I-485 is denied. Question is should 3/10 year bar be applied to someone who spent number of years on Pending AOS? It was sure they cannot apply for the I-485 immediately after denial unless you are maintaining some other status (like H1/H4). But application of the statuary bar is new.
Based on Example 2, it does not seem that alien will be deported only if I-485 is denied. If I-485 is denied, then alien is assumed to accrue unlawful presence from the day the AoS application was filed until the day it was denied. However, this will happen only if alien is not maintaining any non immigrant status during the AoS period. This is my interpretation of the memo/example. I am not sure how this unlawful presence affects bar on future entry of the alien.

The businesses that have the money to fight this are not affected. The smaller American firms that'll be affected do not have the money or political muscle to fight this.
Hope this bill will fail in Congress, the business community will definitely block this.
Written to Congressman, giving the details to oppose the bill.
And also requesting him to support the EB-Visa recapture bill.
Good Luck to all

This funny business of turning away non-immigrant workers at airports/consulates must be tackled head on by IV. This is outrageous behavior on the part of immigration officials. If a person has valid visa then it automatically implies that all the concerns of DOL have been addressed. Immigration officials have no business poking there nose in it.
We must draw a line here. Let's tell CIS is that we can not take the crap any further. Such kind of behavior on their part plays havoc with temporary workers life. Just imagine what happens when a family is split in half due to the denial of reentry.
Yes, something has to be done from IV to tackle such kind if issues..

If you had watched Session's performance during the great CIR debate, you could have almost sworn this gentleman is all for legal high skilled immigrants.
Then come December LD, we get shafted.
Don't be naive.
Ask a far left activist and you'll never hear the word "communism", ask a far right member and you'll never hear "supremacist". To publicly state a policy denying immigration to high skilled people is tantamount to a public relations suicide - everyone knows Einstein was an immigrant, and that image is not far from the minds of the general populace. Numbers knows this, and therefore are at pains to demonize H1B not as skilled immigrants, but as "low wage workers". Of course they will state they want "skilled immigrants" - everyone does.
If they are so keen on legal immigration and were true to their ideology, they would acknowledge the complexity of the issue and structure their strategies accordingly.
But their actions so far have reeked of undifferentiated xenophobia. Get real guys...
Don't know about numbersusa, but Matloff has never said that no immigrant should come here. He has said we should be selective. That is precisely what Canada has done.

Guys , when i called up today for I-485 petitions for USCIS i was little bit worried when first officer informed me of the process and she explained why we are not receiving receipt numbers.
But after 20 min long discussion with her i was little worried and thus want to share this info for your comments.
As per her" USCIS will wait for all 485 petitions , and assign them visa numbers as per availability , she told me that they exhausted all visa numbers on june 26 2007. and they are going to receive all unused numbers on aug 17 and will assign accordingly for all cases who are considered for adjudication.
If they run out of visa numbers again during this process they will return applications saying apply after October 2007.
After going though i couldnt believe myself and i called them back to enquire about the same. another officer told me the same that this is the update they have. If this is the case is USCIS really accepting or playing with us ? i dont understand at all. Out of curiocity again i asked my friend and he reported same info. I dont want to rise panic flag with this info but just share and request your comments. please.
FYI: My case is with NSC filed on July 2 ,
Just called TSC and spoke to IO
The lady was nice and after getting my info including Country of Birth,placed me on hold for 5 minutes and she came back and told me that no new info is available in regards to my 485 ... and NO RECEIPT will be issued and ALL APPLICATIONS are on HOLD until after August 17th, when visa numbers from other ROW will be available to India. I told her my application was filed based on June VB and she told me it does not matter if it is for JUNE or JULY???
Seems like the TSC is now issuing receipts based on availability of visa number? But NSC is still issuing receipt after June 26th RD???:confused:

Also, my understanding (I am by no means a legal expert) seems to be that
1. If EB2 has 40,000 visas and EB2 for India/China (oversubscribed) is used up, they can draw from only EB2 visas. They cannot draw from EB1 leftovers.
2. Same situation for EB3.
So I think what this translates into is a hard limit of
43500 visas for Eb1
43500 visas for Eb2
10150 for Eb3
None of the categories can benefit if visas are not used in the category above it. Eb2 cannot benefit from Eb1 non usage, Eb3 cannot benefit from Eb2 non usage.
However, within the category, an oversubscribed country can use up more visa if such visas exist.
If a category does not use up visas, it goes to Eb5, and not to the next category.
Am I understanding this right? Boy, do we not need a lawyer now?

Is this "STEM" section included in the billed passed by judiciary yesterday? A little lost...... thanks.....
Yes, all of the STEM provisions in the Specter bill survived the judiciary commitee (except some changes in fee charged for F4 visa etc).
It is likely that the bill with STEM provisions intact will pass the full senate. The real challenge will be at the House - Senate conference.

These people have time to type 51 pages of confusing memo, but cannot draft it in simple terms or use time more wisely.
Almost all of us know and follow ...................... either we renew our H1B after 6 years or we switch on EAD, but this memo does not talk about a situation wherein one is in AOS stage and using EAD.
These guys are just too much.
Well I guess. Page 11 Example 4 means working on EAD...Isnt it?

If you want to narrow the difference of PD between EB3 and EB2 then many EB3 persons eligible for EB2 need to convert to EB2. If you want EB3 and EB2 PD to become current then recapture bill or any EB reform bill need to be passed in congress. There is no easy way out.
Nobody is even talking about EB3-I. How can we get some help from IV on this matter? We must do something.

2) They are expected to vote on Monday so they have to get them in beore Monday.
3) Wish we all knew ! I am hopeful this time :)
Can somebody please write something in layman terms instead of copying pasting articles.
Questions
1. Why AILA is against adding legal immigration reforms ?
2. What is the deadling to add amendments ?
3. What are the current chances for legal immigration amendments to be inculded ?

I see most guys having arguments in favour of living in US. I wanted to make a few following points:
1. Assuming you were not a careless spender, you have earned enough to buy a decent home in INDIA (all by cash, no loan, if you want it that way). So taking a few more bucks in loan for a better home is not bad.
2. There is security and stability in life. Because you are a citizen of that country.
3. Stop comparing US land to Indian land. Here there is no drain on resources such as land, water and electricity. Once you accept a country, you just dont accept its good, you also have to live with the bad it offers.
4. If you could adjust to US life after living for 21 years in India, why cant your child adjust to India after 7 years of life in US? I thought the way kids are brought up here makes them more tolerant to the change.
5. You have to plan transition. It may take 3-4 years to get decent returns on your investment and then reinvest that money in India. Remember you came here for business (money). American companies want to use you to make more money. Pay back in the same coin. If everyone were to send $100 a month (just like your 401K) back to India every month, it make a huge difference, to your own net worth as well as for the country.
6. Last but not the least, if you are denied the legal rights and the righful place in the society for which you worked so hard, why in the world let your self esteem drop to stay back here? INDIA is our country, country created by our fathers for us fighting the brits. I dont think many of our parents are really happy to see us settle down here after they made so many sacrifices in their lives to create and contribute INDIA.
7. I have lived in US for 7 years, I am convinced that US will always seek to contain the success of the immigrants. But they dont really want us to leave. Rules such as H1B extension after I-140 and not progressing the priority dates mean that they want you to stay here on their term as long as a breaking point is reached. Yeah some may ask why am I still here? Yes I am leaving, but after 3-4 years, when my investments in US have made returns by 2010. After that point, I dont really care, gains or no gains, GC or no GC, because I have made the money and I am looking forward to contribute to my homeland with all the experience I got here in future decades of my life.
