DO we guys have a plan, a project ?
How we want to approach these critical subjects ?
How are we using the funds ???
The reason why I am not contributing is I dont know where the money will go or is goin right now ????
-First of all I am happy to note that you said WE guys not YOU guys.
-Yes, we have a plan. To put it in generic terms, what we have to first do is to get professional help. Over the last 2 weeks, guys have taken pains to come on their personal time and money to D.C. to listen to and decide on such an organization. Not to mention the numerous telecons in which many of the volunteers have participated. On top of that we are launching on a membership drive to let people know of this organization. We are also planning on having a coordinated organized approach to meeting lawmakers.
-The funds would be primarily used to get such a professional organization. A little bit of it may be required for other purposes like say the PR /getting the message out
-The money as of now is not"going" anywhere - it is being collected for the uses I described above. Note that all the members have been spending from their pockets for all the meeting/visits I described above. Be assured that none of us are doing this for monetory reasons - in fact all we are getting is lesser time for our families and a lot of hard work.
-Unless people start contributing there is no way that we can do any of the activities mentioned above. To wait for the full details of the actions makes no sense for me. If I knew all these steps, why would I hire a strategist?! Also if people are not willing to contribute the money/ not do anything, how much committed are they to the cause?
If you want me to call and explain this, send me a PM with your phone number.

Fellow IVians:
Background:
We are one EAD/AP. (may not matter in this scenario but still mentioning)
My daughter is a US born Citizen and she is under 2 years old with a valid Indian VISA.
She has been living in India with her Grand Parents for the past one year.
She will be travelling to the US accompanied by her uncle & Aunt who are returning to USA at the end of their vacation.
Question:
Since both parents are not accompanying the infant is there some documentation needed?
Has anyone done this before? Can you please post your experiences and suggestions?
I will be preparing a notarized letter of consent along with her Birth Certificate...is there anything else?
Any information will be sincerely appreciated
Thanks, Mattresscoil!!

Hello Guys,
I have E-Filed for EAD renew on jne 27th and have sent all the supporting documents the following day. But on Aug 6th recieved an RFE for the photos I haven't sent along with the documents and asked me submit 2 color passport photos. It was my understading that I don't have to send the photos while E-filing since they will be taken at the bio-metric appt. I am done with my bio-metric appt. Do i need to contact USCIS about this or is there any thing you guys can suggest me.
Regards
Vijay
p.s I have already responded to the RFE with 2 color photos.

Petition on the gournds of National Interest Waiver falls under EB-2 category. One cannot file 140 and 485 concurrently if the priority date for 485 is not current (to the best of my knowledge). However, you may apply for I-140 based on NIW at any time.

this will be approval notice of your H1-B or H1-B extension. Ask your lawyer again what letter he is talking about.
He is talking about the original first letter of approval , not an extension

I recently traveled (2 weeks ago) via Frankfurt to India and back from Dallas. It is more than enough time. Also Lufthansa does a good job of on-time arrivals and departures. I would say it should not be a problem at all.

I am in a similar situation. I was offered the job but was later declined in a top 5 fortune company because of this scenario. My 6-yr H1 ends on Sep 2007 and I have a 3-yr extension based on approved I-140 with current employer till Sep 2010. The company attorney that initially offered me the job reasoned that this is a grey area and they are not willing to take the risk. So, bottomline is different immigration lawyers have different opinion on this matter. It is a case of how you read the grey print.
Can someone point me to any document under AC21 that clearly states this is allowed. If possible, i will try to convince them, but i don't have anything to validate my point at this moment.

Have already done that.
I want to contact Janet specially because I went to school in AZ and in 2002 elections - I was a part of her campaign at the University supporting her.
Not that I have any proof of it but I had just joined some friends for it - hence I thought would be good to be able to meet up with her.
I work in Chandler. I am ready to go with you.

Excellent newspiece, there. Here's hoping you're able to sort out your situation, Anand. By the way, salaries in India are now nearly 1/3rd of that in the US(in the bigger companies, of course)

I have an NRE account and I get a 1099-INT every year from my bank for that account. It clearly states that the interest has been reported to the IRS and therefore must be shown on the 1040.
We were talking about taxes at work and someone mentioned that all bank accounts in home country should be reported to IRS. I opened a bank account(NRE) in India before I came to US and get minimal interest income from it. Should I be declaring the income to IRS? The income is so low that I don't have to declare it in India so I didn't bother. I do not have a green card (am on H1B). Can you confirm if I am supposed to provide this info in tax returns. I did do some research on this and from news articles it seems like what my colleague mentioned is true. How do I go about providing all the info now? Is this going to impact my GC process?

You will have to file the WH-4 form to DOL. Please do the search in this forum/internet as this has been discussed many many times.
USCIS is cracking down on employers. Whether you are on project or not. Doesn't matter. Employer has to pay you or lay you off and provide ticket back home.
Once you file WH-4, ball is in the court of USCIS/DOL/Employer for unpaid wages.
Thanks for your Reply.
My Employer is also threatning me that if I ask him for salary then he will lay me off and immediately send me back to India.
can he do like this ?

If I don't receive a response from USCIS before Jan 15, can I work till I get the notice ? or my employer is required to terminate my employment on Jan 15 according to the recapture time as mentioned on application ?
Your employer should terminate you from the job on Jan 15, as you will not be authorized to work after that.
I would like to apply for B2 transfer so I can stay for 2 months and travel around US. I also own car, house, and a ton of personal belongings etc. My house is under water (I mean I have $390K loan left on the house which is probably worth $250K). I might have to take it into foreclosure and eventually file for Bankruptcy and the process might take anywhere between 3 months to 18 months in present situation. I plan to leave US with in 2 months as I want to complete the mandatory 1-year outside before I could be eligible for new H1 visa but I might have to come back multiple to US for legal purposes during foreclosure or bankruptcy. Can I request a long term B2 visa (like 2 or 5 year) ?
COS will get you max of 6 months of B2 - If you apply B2 at consulate in your home country, you *may* have a chance of getting multiple year/entry B2 visa.
If my employer does terminate my job on Jan 15 2010, how early should I file for B2 transfer ?
Make sure COS application reaches them before Jan 15th.
If my employer say that I can legally work till I get notice from USCIS, when should I file for B2 transfer ?
Dont work beyond the date requested in your H1B extension.
what are the typical costs of filing for H1b to B2 transfer ? (application fees, attorney fees etc.)
Minimum of 1K attorney fees....

What are you saying he has no valid visa on his passportm his papers are valid. People who have a valid I-94 and like H1B - Valid i-797 can legally work in US without a valid visa on the passport.
Well getting a transit visa to france depends on the rules the French government has. Ask your travel agent.
