My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
Did you move to a different state?

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.
lol you are complaining about 4% tax? :)
1. not sure about this...normally you need a SSN or TaxID to open a back account here...however some banks dont require it...which is what illegal immigrants exploit.
so if its done without a SSN or TAXID then you may get away without paying tax.
However some companies wont pay you if you dont have a TaXID or SSN
2. worst of the 3 ideas...cause u will be paying individual tax rate...of around 30% or more

Our FP were sent back to USCIS the same day - 10/1/07.
What does this mean. The lady didnt have any information on name check. Seems like there is no way of knowing anything about name check!:mad:

There was another russian gentleman who got his green card 6 months back and is a student now. Yet, he had driven 3 hours from NJ just to cheer us. He mentioned that he understands how painful this process is and wanted to encourage us by attending.
I want to thank this european who got his greencard 2 weeks back but still attended the rally. There may be more heroes like this. I was in a group of people when we spoke to him, didnt catch his name as i was encouraging bypassers to honk their cars to support our cause.
He is over 6 foot, in immigration voice t-shirt and blue jeans. He is swedish...Please share his name if anybody knows....

Good Afternoon IV members,
Best wishes to all of you who are seeking advice or are in a visa process of any sort.
My question here if any one could kindly help me: I came to work in 2002 with a J1 visa, stayed for the 3 stipulated years under the J1 visa. I wanted to changed my visa for a H1B so I got a waiver, and then I went through the process the year that they had the lottery for H1B, I made the lottery, but sadly after paying all my fees, sending all the documents that my lawyer asked my employer for that time, I did not obtain an H1B.
Last year I could come back with another J1, I stayed in my country for 3 years, so my new employer applied for a J1 without using my waiver, as there was not need for it. Now my question, I do want to change my status from my present J1 to an H1B, and I would like to know if I can use the previous waiver that I obtain with my first J1 in order to waive the 2 year residency restriction on my present J1 so that I could apply for the H1B with a new employer?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend,
Valle

It really seemed ur in the campaiging team for Dems, hence the reply.
Admin fix was the wrong thing to do anyways, else your Obama will create 101 rules that affect everyone, the check and balance system is a good thing for US
Admin fix should happen for small regulations not a big law like the CIR.
If administrative fix was the wrong way to go, then we are back to legislative fixes - and as I said earlier, boils down to meeting with lawmakers for us; and having the strength to meet with the media and push them to bring our issue to the forefront. Which ever way we have to look, our full throttled participation is a must.
Half hearted activism gives half baked results.

You get the FP notices, attorney gets a copy.
Best way to find out (if you missed it) is to call USCIS Customer Service number on your I-485 notice.
Don't think it's delivered personally - it may not get delivered if you filed a change of address with the post office, but it should be in your mail if you haven't moved/no address change, imo.
jazz
Who gets FP notice? is it attorney or us?
We also filed on July 2nd at NSC.. got EAD and AP. buit no sign of FP yet. we were also out of country for last 3- 4 weeks. Is there chance we could have missed it?

Filing seperately is probably not a good option. Since spouse on ITIN, means no income. Given this, the amount you loose on deductions for single will morethan offset the $600 you get.
So one should file joint, and wait for SSN and claim the rebates. I think you can claim the rebates anytime within 3 years. Just sharing what I read in other related threads before and made sense to me.
All said, I still don't know why they ask SSN. Some say for better disbursement of funds etc. But that doesn't make any sense to me. They always make life harder for aliens. Probably they couldn't find a solid excuse to deny rebates to H1B-SSN's. Otherwise this would have been a bigger curse. Most of us got lucky, or they just felt spouses with SSN more likely either both working or primary contributed taxes for many years, so its okay to give back some. whatever reasons behind it..

nihar, is this "consultant" your attorney? You should contact an immigration attorney with your concerns; not familiar at all with "lottery" H1B, so have no information.
Good luck.

"So my wife and me are shuttling between India and US to even meet each other. "
Can't you bring her on H4...???
She is on H4 right now, but working in India, so visits when she gets a vacation and I do the same, hence the shuttling :(

I was exactly in the similar situation. My wife entered on H4, started work on EAD. Now we are traveling to India, both have AP as well as H visa (H1 for myself, H4 for wife). I talked to our corporate lawyers pretty much the exact same questions you are asking. Here is the response (that I have in writing from the lawyers):
1. H4 status is invalidated the first day you report for work on EAD. While you are working, your status is AOS in the US. There is no consequence of this change (ie you do not have to report anything to the USCIS).
2. When you reenter the US, you can use H4 for reentry. (Yes, even if you are still employed the employer with an EAD and went to India only for "vacation"). This is because at the point of entry, the definition for "working on EAD" is actually reporting to work. As long as the H1 is valid, you can enter on H4. Your status at the point of entry is H4 admission. However, if you report to work the next day, your H4 status again is invalidated and you are back on AOS.
This is a pretty confusing scenario for many and multiple lawyers that I consulted have agreed with the above legal advise.
So, even though we have AP, we would be using our H visas to enter.
Send me a PM if you have further questions.
We are in exact same scenario, but was thinking that H4 holder has to enter using AP to continue to use EAD after "vacation" . So is it like, Use H4 for travel and EAD to work, instead of , Use AP for travel and EAD to work? This will be of great help to many people who are scared to use AP or not want to face the extra half hour at immigration counters.

1. If I-140 is not yet approved and withdrawn, you lose I-485/AP/EAD.
2. I am not sure why they cannot file a second I-140 based on PERM LC right away. Seems to be a no-brainer to me. Must be one of those lawyer things :)
http://www.hooyou.com/eb-1/faq.html
Q: Is it possible to file two petitions, such as an EB-1(a) and NIW, at the same time?
A: Yes. Some of our clients file two I-140 petitions simultaneously. Some clients file three I-140 petitions at the same time. There is nothing stated in the law that prohibits multiple filings. Multiple filings increase your chances of approval.

I will not be good in english (en fact with the new bill i am in trouble....) but as european i can tell what is the real situation in europe is different of what Communique says. I have lived in French, for more than one year, and the problem was that the French has take the communique version on the immigration, means under class of citizen. That`s the real problem. It`s funny that nobody speaks about what happens in England, where they decided for a full integration or in Spain, or even in Nederland, no riots down there, how is possible?

The 2001 recession was centered around the tech bubble... Except for people working in IT, most did not even feel it was recession... Infact the recession of 2001 was considered the shortest and the mildest on record... But it hit the tech industry hard which was at the center of the storm... Having learned their lesson, the IT companies paid a lot of attention to their bottomline and preserving their resources... The Ciscos, the Microsofts, the Oracles are sitting on huge piles of cash... So they have not been as quick to lay off people as other industries... So if you work in IT you might be thinking what recession? Things are fine... Just as people in Real estate and finance thought in 2001... However, if you look at the numbers it tells a different story... The peak unemployement during the 01 recession was 6.2%... This time we have already crossed 6.7% and there seems no light at the end of the tunnel... This is a much serious downturn, that will fundamentally affect US and rest of the world. I am surprised at the number of IT people thinking this is a small storm that will just pass away... Lehman Brothers, 140 year old bank just vanished one morning... Merrill Lynch gone! Thats some serious S**T!! Its like waking up one morning to find out that Microsoft does not exist anymore! Ask your friends working in finance (if you have any) and they will tell you how serious this is! The layoffs in IT are coming my friends... Hold on to your jobs like your life depended on it... Because things are about to get nasty for the IT sector too... Good luck!

Neither of these are SLR's unless I'm mistaken. To hit the price range you are after -- you are looking at the Nikon D70 or the Canon 300D. It appears that you are looking at the P&S that are 8mp, keep in mind that the 6mp crop of dSLRs here mentioned above will get a higher resolution and better ISO range, which can help you always indoors. Definately enough for your 11x17 print desires. Those 8mp sensors are using much smaller sensors which by statistic sounds like more, it's not really.
If you are moving from a P&S and your not familiar with SLR's, this might be a learning experience for you. Is it worth it? Definately.
I'm Canon biased, but I've heard great things about the D70. I'd check out both and decide which is right for you and the possible future lens purchases.
