Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks

One of friends got advice from a tax consultant about the 401K withdrawal question you have. The best approach in this case would be to phase out the withdrawal amounts over a period of successive years. When you are in India, you are not earning US income. So say if you take 10K the first year, it will be considered income earned in US for which you have to pay tax. Since 10K is below the standard deduction amt, you will not have to pay any tax. The penalty will still apply as you are breaking the 401K.

number of PERM approvals from 03/28/2005 - 10/1/2006 = 83,151
assuming 60% of those are for EB2 and EB3 (EB3 other workers are also included in the total 83151 count) = 49,890 ~ 50,000
50,000 = 39% of 128,000 unique labor certifications/primary applicants.
from my perspective this is very promising
disclaimer:
This looks promising to me having an EB2-India -Sept 2005 priority date.
I can totally understand a 2005 India EB3 filer thinking this is the worst news ever...and i do feel ur pain.

Is your application pending at NSC or TSC?
Also, can you share with us your city/state - just curious which USCIS location has become so efficient :)
Thanks for sharing this info with us!
Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.

Please generate the above slightly modified reminder when a member posts in a forum.
Hope it has some effect. Thanks Paskal!

There is no excuse for the Immigration dept for this backlog. This is a simple clerk's job which they screwed. IV as a an organization should clearly state it and insist on fast resolution by the respective authorities, not just foggy promises.
I agree that there is no excuse for processing times running into many months. However, I would be hesitant to rely on the goodwill of DOL/USCIS in resolving the backlog. I started another thread suggesting a premium processing option for the entire GC process:

Completely agreee with hari_baby22. Couple of days back I posted that immigration voice could get a lot more donations if they publish there earnings/expenses report online and make everything transparent. Lot of people including myself, do not contribute because they dont know how funds are getting used. My post was deleted by administrator and I got following message -->
Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
We don't think you are for real. We believe you are an agent of a for profit immigration website.
***************
This time my user account itself might get deleted....
Guys I had posted this yesterday IV is a non-profit. Check the video below - there is nothing to hide:
Immigration Voice funds disclosure on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/234998/1863489)
The fact that IV is helping Donors is because all its activities are only possible because of Donors, and we are still short of funding. If this was for all for free, then no campaign could be acheived.
And believe it or not , we get a lot of spam and rogue users visiting IV.
BTW I am not in IV management
We need you and a lot more to join. I can't believe you cannot trust IV a non-profit organization with even $25

Hi,
I got an email saying "we mailed the document to the applicant" and it says the same thing on my uscis protfolio.
I would like to know if this means the case was approved or is it some other document being sent.
When they approved my EAD, it clearly said "Approval notice sent".

Let other IV members judge for themselves what is right and what is wrong.

I, personally, do not know anyone who lives in Canada and is complaning about jobs. Every beginning is difficult but for us who come to Canada from the US, I do not think the beginning would be difficult at all. Even with their famous Canadian exp only requirements....
Also, when you guys weigh in job prospects in Canada in comparison to being on H1 in the US, do you consider that your spouses would have a fair chance to at least re-start their careers or start their new careers, or do you think / know that your spouses will actually continue to stay at home?
In that case there is no difference between staying here or going there, right?

I am in the same Boat. My PD is May 26 2004. Mine and my wife's case was transffered to Des Moines Iowa on March 19th 2008 and says its for additional processing. I applied for EAD renewal on June 11th and no approvals yet. I called uscis and they say that my ead would not be approved until the additional processing on my 485 is completed.. I am guessing it would be an interview.
Not necessarily in the same boat, although in the same pond.. :) In your case if the email says 'additional"processing and clearly indicates the DEs Moines office then it might very well be for an interview. In the case of ABH though all it says is that it was transferred to a USCIS office for "standard" processing, which could be as simple as USCIS mailing the packets from CSC to NSC.

Get enrolled in GNIIT course. They will teach you Java, .net, networking, datbase, algorithms and everything else that I did not put here and may be after that you can apply in EB-1 category. I am not mad but, if you do not have 4 year college degree, you should not have gone for EB-2 that too with labor substitution. It is a F***ed up system.

Well H1B can bring their spouse using H4 .. so I guess GC holder can not bring their spouse .. I guess this is a hole in the system.
H1-H1 couple can support status of each other (H1-H4 or H4-H1)
H1-F1 couple can support each other (H1-H4 or F1-F2)
But
GC guy can't support status if H1 spouse lost job and became out of status
GC guy can't support status if F1 spouse becames out of status
GC guy can't bring spouse from home country
UNLESS SPOUSE/Kids goes through complete F2A visa process (several years)
It can make life of GC spouse miserable (of course GC guy also). Imagine GC-H1 marriage, H1 out of status after loss of job. After loss of status, H1 spouse has to return, but GC spouse will try to remain in USA for own status and in hope to bring spouse back after getting citizenship.

I guess its much better for frauds to have an EAD/AP, then they can easily bypass the checking at consulates.
For them there are strict check at airports.

I just applied to lending tree on wednesday for 450k loan. Still nobody contacted me :(. I have an excellent credit history and me and my wife both are using our history to apply. Finally looks the market is really tight in credit. Last time I applied for auto loan I got replies in couple of hours.
Good luck. I am still hunting in NJ and want to get preapproved.
I few months back got it from Wells Fargo. 100% loan, no PMI, 7.25%, 30 year fixed. I heard they have stopped 100% now. You need to have atleast 3% down. I know it is towards the higher side but I want the safety of keeping the money in my account while we go though his rough economy.
