Calculate the "real" mortgage interest rate you are paying after taking tax deduction into account. It will be slightly lower than your mortgage interest rate.
Then, see if you can get a better return by investing your money somewhere else. If you can't get a better return anywhere else then pay down your mortgage. Normally - you will find investments with a better rate of return than mortgage.

They should also allow people from Backlog Centre (PD 2001-MARCH 2005) to file 485. Looks like they really cant make any impact. How many more years to wait just to file 485 ? Oh Gosh....
Come August, all dates will be current again and you should be able to adjust.

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!
I looked into the PDF's - seems like PhD does not have to be from US universities (can be from anywhere within 3 years of applying for greencard).
Of course it would have helped more if masters is also included but this is at least a start - hopefully more provisions might be added as it goes for debate.

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.

Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.
Pls try to help us increase our membership in your own capacity, in any way you can. This is something everyone on this forum can help us with.
What is current strenght of IV? I have not seen the number changed or updated for long?...Any update on Membership count as well as funds will be appreciated

House Republican (Representative F. James Sensenbrenner) Pessimistic on Immigration Deal (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/26/washington/26cnd-immig.html)
After reading the comparisons and statements from House leaders, this bill may languish for a few months before becoming law. STILL I HOLD MY HOPES UP.

I think, last week, two threads were locked due to very hot discussion on this issue. This discussion will create more heat again.
"invoke AC21 without waiting for six months" - I completely agree , that is a great idea if it is not asking for too much.

a recapture helps everone by moving the line forward and making dates current. there is also a parallel effort on to bring changes like 485 filing without PD being current. so no one ie being left behind or ignored. these efforts will help all of us affected by retrogression and stuck in different stages.
If IV can help this (apply for I-485 without having current PD) proceed in anyway, I would be so happy. I got married 2 years ago, my wife is a finance professional, an employer in US applied a H1b for her, ended up getting rejected in the lottery.
I had just (during the open I485 time frame) then switched employers and my employer filed for labor which never got cleared in time (actually still isnt cleared - random Audit).
So my wife and me are shuttling between India and US to even meet each other.
Have been in US for 9 (with 2 masters and 5 years working) years now, still no way of finding a visa for my wife to work.
I work for one of the big Biotech guys and kind of like my job, otherwise working in India along with the wife looks very intriguing

An interview does not mean approval. This is just part of CIS pre-processing cases when the PD is not current. They will interview the applicant, process it and then throw it into storage.
About 5% of cases are randomly selected for interviews. This does not mean that they are out to approve a 2007 case ahead of a 2001 case.

When did you file?
Sorry to answer you question late.
I am the July 2nd filer as well. It took me quite some time to figure out the case numbers on back of the checks. All start with "WAC" means California Servcie Center. After I entered my cases number each of each (total 6 of them, 3 for my wife and 3 for me). On Sept 13. there was LUD on all of cases. but only the contents differences were appeared on two 485 cases. It said that "we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case.".
That is what I got so far. May God with us all!!!

My inputs may not help you , but I am posting it so that it could prevent others from making this mistake..
If spouse has EAD and AP, then using of EAD will not abandon H4 status nor it will jeoperdize the GC applicant H1b status.
A safe bet for dependet is to use EAD instead of getting H1b and going thru all stamping coplications. Being a spouse of GC applicant has lots of advantages...:D.
Now coming to your question, I think you should not depend on this forum for your solution. Contact a good attorney and take their advice.
Good luck..
We need experts advice in the following matter.
Here is my situation, I have entered US on H-4 and after sometime I have applied for H1(Change of status) through a consulting company. I have worked for this company for 3 months.
