Unemployment is everywhere, the worst is in california. It does not matter whether its IT or any job. Some of the employers layoff the most talented and hardworking person.
I was thinking is there anyway for those having canadian permanent would reside, search for any jobs till the recession is over and come back to US. In that case one can accumlate the time in canada.

As everyone pointed out there are lot of things in favor of the employers, Attoreys & USCIS when I 140 is revoked. The only thing that comes to our rescue is AC 21 when followed as per the guideline which is currently not being done.
Guys, Please support the IV AC 21 Campaign and let us help ourselves..
like the historic successful flower campaign, can some one come out with a great idea to bring CIS attention to this issue? 'Satyagrah'??? Gandhi style fasting??? ideas?

my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
This is free country dude, you are free to live single or get married 10 times :D
your H1 is out of status.
you can find another employer, port your PD to them. While you work for them on EAD, you can file 485 for your wife when ur dates become current again. Hope this clarifies things.

Mr. Vayalar Ravi , Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs,is coming to USA on June 27,2006. He is coming to Washington DC on July 4 to meet Indian Ambassador and Indian community. We should try to meet him personally and explain the problems we are facing. He can talk to US counterparts and do something for us.
Let us organize an event to meet him on July 4. Since It is a holiday, lot of people can meet him and chat with him.
Any comments from IV Core Team ? Can we contact the Indian Ambassador to arrange a meeting with the minister ? is it possible ?
This is a Golden opportunity !
First of all what you want honorable Minister to do. Ask him to talk to US Congress to pass the law so that we get GC faster. Let say he speaks on our behalf. All I see happening is things getting worse rather than getting better. Those who are on the other side of the table will get a point to oppose to those who are supporting us. This is what going to happen. Every provision that is supporting our cause will be opposed by the fact that it has been done under the influence of foreign Government in this case it will be Indian. Organizations like numberusa is vehemently looking for a way to prove that how all pro-immigration provisions are anti-american. So we hand over them the Jackpot.
Whole idea of involving Indian Minister looks to me like small kids involved in a fight seeking help of their parents to get the issues fixed. Here we are not dealing with neighbors kid. Lets grow up..

At what stage of GC, you are not dependent on Lawyer any more>?
What if your I-485 has been filed, and everything is normal with your case. Do you still need your Lawyer till you get ur GC or now you can fire him right after filing 485?
I am not happy with my Lawyer and want to get rid of him ASAP.

Another Indo-US deal moves forward: Indian workers can get Social Security money back
Vikas Dhoot
Posted online: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 at 0037 hrs IST
New Delhi, July 7
With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh�s government finally moving forward on the Indo-US nuclear deal, the Bush administration is also demonstrating its keenness to resolve other crucial bilateral issues in India�s interest. A long-standing Indian demand for a social security pact that allows Indian workers stationed in the US to bring back their contributions to the US Social Security system on their return to India, is close to being met.
Over $1 billion of contributions to the US Social Security Fund are made annually by an estimated 80,000 �detached workers� from India working on consultancy and onsite assignments � each one has to contribute at the rate of 15% of basic salary. However, when they return to India, these contributions are forfeited as the minimum period to qualify for pension benefits in the US is 10 years (the same is true of India as well).
After a series of meetings between Indian officials and the US Social Security Administration as well as a senior White House official in Washington last week, Indian workers� annual donations to the US social security fund � which currently has a $4.1 trillion deficit � may finally come to an end.
�We are close to sealing the pact. Indian workers who spend three years in the US would get a refund of their contributions to the US pension system. Moreover, the pension will also be portable � once a worker completes the qualifying period of 10 years, the pension will be payable in either country,� a senior government official said.
The US has such �social security totalisation� pacts with 22 countries, whereby workers who spend three years in the US hold on to their pension benefits as the 10-year qualifying period takes into account the time spent by workers in their original country�s pension system. India has recently signed such deals with Belgium and Germany.
�If both US and India have bilaterals with a third country, the totalisation and portability principles will apply in those cases as well. So a worker could spend 4 years in India, 3 years in US and 3 years elsewhere, without losing retirement funds,� the official added. Bilateral talks on the issue had intensified after Singh and Bush issued the joint statement on July 18, 2005 to move towards a new strategic relationship. Last December, the US Social Security Secretary visited New Delhi, but little progress was made. Under Section 233 of US social security laws, international agreements may only be arrived at with countries with a �generally applicable� social insurance or pension system.
Between December 2007 and now, India has made some progress on this front which it convinced the US administration about. The Unorganised Sector Workers� Social Security Bill has been introduced in Parliament as well as reviewed by a standing committee. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana has also been kicked off.
�It has been an intractable wall we have been chipping away at for years, but this time, we feel they are convinced that there is a sound social security sytem in India,� the official said. If India succeeds in formalizing the pact, it will be only the second Asian country after South Korea to do so. Once signed, the US President will have to report the deal to the Congress with a report on the estimated number of individuals affected and its effect on the Social Security fund�s flows.

Hi,
On a side note, could you share what documentation you had to send for e-filing for advanced parole?
Thanks
Bidhan
I efiled EAD and AP for my wife and myself over this weekend. My earlier documents had been filed at TSC. In answering Question 11 of EAD, I "assumed" Dallas TX Field office and USCIS TSC are one and the same. So I selected Dallas TX Field office as the answer.
When the receipts were generated for our applications they were generated for National Benefits Center with MSC as the prefix. This got me confused and I asked this question (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19323) on IV. This evening to research what is going on I started a dummy application and saw what I had done wrong. I canceled the dummy application.
I am writing this to alert anyone to not do the same mistake. I am mighty concerned. I will call USCIS tomorrow morning and ask on what will happen and where should I send me supporting documents. I will also get hold of some local attorney.
In the mean time what do you guys think of our situation. Any experiences, ideas? Please share. This will be long night :-|

Hello All,
just wanted to share my Finger Printing Experience.
I am july 2nd filer, EB2.
NSC -CSC - NSC case.
Got my FP done today,
however I noticed that on my ASC notice, my SSN has been printed incorrectly.
I called USCIS and made the correction.
I was surprised & furious at the same time, by seeing this mistake from USCIS.
Their system is so bad, they are not even verifying the Name to the corresponding SSN. Had I missed to notice, I would have been stuck either at FBI name check or by a querry from USCIS later for a long long time.
Already the wait is long enough.
Anyways, dont relax just seeing your EADs and APs, watch every detail on whatever they send.
Regards
CSE

same story for me, i just moved to different unit in the same apartment. everything remains the same. Same city, same zip code, same employer.. Somehow i believe address change triggered the RFE. Probably the change in the file pushed my file in FIFO and someone looked into it and gave a RFE. Will have to wait till i get the actual letter.
u r kidding right...u got EVL RFE for an apartment change in the same apt complex? or is it just asking you to update the address verification form. Cos, I just now responded to EVL RFE and am planning to change apt inside the same unit. I cannot afford another lump payment to the freakin lawyer one more time..this is just ridiculous..

Folks,
I'm sure you must have debated this already. But, I'd post this anyways:
Is it possible to take out(or substitute) the need to have a IV handle or register with IV, inorder to participate and meet the law-makers on the Advocacy Day?
I'm thinking that could bring in more people. People who wants to register will register anyways and who don't want to can also participate. There are other ways to check the validity of the person registering
Thanks!
