Pappu,
I strongly suggest that IV introduce $20 monthly recurring contribution, I will defenitely sign up and most people will do it, I think.
Also, How about have a link in the homepage for Imigration attorneys. We can list their contact if they agree for $100 monthly recurring contribution. We have about 30 k members, so it is a good deal for them.
We can allow member testimonials for the attorneys which will be very helpful...

I could have written this! I too am flummoxed by seeing this on my e-filed AP application. I think its pre-decision activity but I could be wrong. Anyone?
Last week I e-filed my AP (I-131) renewal and sent documents to TSC. Soft LUD today, it is in "Testing and Interview� stage.
Is this stage generally expected for renewal of AP? I am not sure why the online message says "request for appointment reschedule" although my application is to renew AP.
Did any one go through this process before? pls share your experience.
Here is the status from the website
Testing and Interview
We have received your request to have your appointment rescheduled. This case is being processed at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location. You will be notified by mail if the appointment is rescheduled, when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

i think there is a provision that if you are traveling for work every few months then you just need to provide your 'permanent' address not the 'temporary' address.

CORBA, is a Federal Government law to save individuals who loose job. Every insurance company should provide you this insurance for about 6 months (not sure about the length and price) at the Employer negotiated price. You should get a notification from your current insurance company each time you change your employer.
Then its upto you to take it for that limited time before you get your next job. What happens if we dont take the insurance in between? Next time you take insurance, if they find that u dont have insurance for some time, then they will not cover any pre existing conditions and they might ask you to take some tests. Its all headache.
But its worth finding out more details rather than ignoring it.

If retrogression continues Im seriously thinking about retuirning to India in a few yrs once I meet my savings goals. However I have some questions of parents of kids who have been in India/US schooling system.
1) After what grade/standard do you feel that a child born and raised in USA cant integrate into Indian education system. (I was thinking 1st standard).
2) What things can we do at home to prepare child for entry into Indian school system from here. Is Montesorri education most comparable to India Nursery/KG ?
3) Any issues with US born citizen getting admitted to Indian schools (Convent schools - government aided or private). Will it be a competitive disadvantage for US citizens, do they have to pay more fees that Indian nationals ?
Thanks

Which state/year were you in when you filed for EAD?
Think hard - it must have been a few months before your graduation.
If you can get the center and month/yr right, with the copy of the EAD, you should be good to go.
I would appreciate it if someone can give me some advise...I need to file my EAD renewal & refuse to pay insane amounts of money to my attorney...
Thanks!!!!

Hi,
I am in need of some advice. I am on first h1b extension with 2.5 hears left. I have an MS but was filed under eb3 with priority date of march 2005 (didn't knew about priority categories at that time). Now I am feeling a bit stagnant in my current job, but have always felt myself constrained thinking about restarting the GC process from zero. Given the current eb3 condition and my priority date what would you suggest I should do? Switch job, get a salary raise, restart under eb2 or continue doing whatever I do hoping eb3 will become current in some reasonable time and i'll be free ?
Thanks for any inputs/thoughts.
no offense garfield, many of us here hate to give any suggestions/advice, if we see an empty profile. why dont you update your profile first. time and again many of us have asked many people who come up with a new thread first post asking advice for their individual situation, i would urge everyone here to stop advicing/suggesting anyone who does not have their profile complete. If this is what it takes to complete their profile, my vote is to enforce this.

Hi, I'm a citizen of India got married to an Indian citizen in U.S in 2004 and got the marriage license from a county (It is important to note that a marriage license is valid only in the County in which it is issued). We did not marry under foreign act. Will this be considered as a valid marriage as per Indian marriage act? Please advice.
We are yet to get married in India. We are planning to apply I-485 with martial �single� independently because we can�t apply as married due to family reasons.
Will this cause any problem during background check?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965
Eventually this bill introduced that 7% per country cap
Here is the proof that country cap is racially motivated. I can't believe that Ted Kennedy was behind this.
During debate on the Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate) floor, Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-1) The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-.2770s_268-0)

Lazycis,
Did you inform USCIS after you invoked AC21? Thanks!
Do not worry about it. As long as you keep your job, you are fine. I've been thru the same situation, did not do anything special and got my GC.

IV Core Team - You have done a great job... No doubt about it.. I already said my sincere thanks to you guys in earlier post and would say it again - Thank You !!!!
BUT GUYS, dont you think we should thank USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as well for honoring original July visa bulletin?
His comments from the bulletin sounds so honest
�The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government�s management of this process needs further review,� said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. �I am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient system in line with public expectations.�
Everone is busy to appreciate work done by IV Core team, Zoe Lofgren, media and all IV team members.. But we are forgetting the man who signed off on the visa bulletin... without it, we wouldn't be celebrating...
Whatever happened on 07/02, it happened. I dont want to get into details of "why" the flipflop happened... But I sincerely thank Emilio Gonzalez for giving us the opportunity to file for I-485 with the old fee structure. Thank you, Sir.
I concur

Hello,
:) Just a clarification around job requirements:
GC is always for a future position, so there is no need for the employer to keep the position (nor to keep it vacant). The employer needs to confirm that the position will be made available to the individual as soon as GC is issued.
If you get the GC and the position is not available, your GC is not in any jeopardy. Once the employer confirms that the position is no longer available, you are free to choose any other job. If you have already waited 4-5 years for GC, the same/similar job requirement also reduces in significance for post GC issued job.
PS: I know a few friends who waited to get their US citizenship and immediately relocated to India! Human mind is strange!! :)

Hello OP,
Here is what I did. I have mentioned some tips for you to save money:
Fly to Tulsa. There is tonnes of BUS service from Tulsa to Nogales(AZ). It is damn cheap..I think $10.00
They will drop you at the border. Walk to the other side.
YOU DONT NEED VISA TO GO TO MEXICO IF YOU PLAN TO STAY IN NOGALES ONLY.
I did get a visa but was told it is not needed. No one cares...you can simply walk over..no one will check either.
Cab costs anywhere between 7 and 10 to go to USA consulate.
There is a local bus like blue line in delhi that can take you there too. It is not worth it though. Chances are high that you will get your visa the same day. If not, you can rent hotel for anywhere between 30 and 50.
Take cab come back to border. Walk over...do the same immigration process like you would do at any airport.
Someone up there is right..be prepared to face atleast 150 to 200 Mexican H2 or H3 ...workers. This will be the longest part of your journey.
No need to get any mexican currency. They gladly take USD.
To use your cell phone, come to the border..its a regular within 50 states call from there....as soon as you go like 1 mile inside, you loose signals. Then it becomes international call.
Don't drink water there...drink beer.
If you have any other questions or if I missed anything else that you wanna know..feel free to ask: tinuverma@gmail.com
Good luck.
