Yes. The malicious code did not download any virus or inject any virus in anyone's system. All it did was to redirect the user via a popup to a malicious website. Antivirus scanners pick this up as a virus alert, but it is not. It is more of an annoyance than a virus attack.
I honestly cannot vouch for the millions of hackers and script kiddies out there that this won't happen but use a good Anti-virus scanner especially if you have kids at home.

Don't know about the lazy part, but you do have good writing skills. Do you have a blog on IV site? If no, you may want to consider starting one.
I'll be a regular reader of your blog!

I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20233#post20233
He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
This is my opinion. TSC 485 processing time is July 17,2007. NSC 485 processing cut off date is July 28th, 2007. I don't know if CSC is still processing 485 EB applications but CSC EB processing cut off date on its website is April 04, 2006. The priority date for June 2007 bulletin was April 1st2004.
Lot of big law firms filed 485's around August 1st because the date for filing 485's was extended to August 17th. So I think these 485's are still unadjudicated. Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression. Analysts analyze. However the silver lining would be removal of concurrent processing of I-140 and I-485 which may give some additional EB 2 numbers next year.

USCIS reverses its rule. I-485 can now be submitted without medicals. RFE will be sent for that.

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....

It's just a caution. Some people would like to take it slowly but surely, some people love to run fast with a risk of stumbling in the middle. Whichever you go, the finish line is always the same.
All I am saying is if you wish the fast route with the risk of stumbling, then go for it. If not, try the slow but sure route.
no slow, no fast..just follow the rules of the game..

Last year I had already filed for married filing jointly before stimulus check thing was in discussion. From what I understand once you file married filing jointly you cannot amend to married filing separately. You can amend otherwise.
Anyhow this year if I do my taxes separately I end up owing to IRS. Does anyone know where to look for info for amendment?
Thanks
How funny and no brainer this is ? We can give taxes (thousands and thousands of dollars) and no body says , "since your wife is not having SSN, you do not have to pay taxes". But while giving back tax rebates of $1200 to $1800 or so , they say, so.

There are reports that there are a huge backlog in medical examination appointments in certain areas. Currently, the USCIS requires the sealed medical report as the part of "initial evidence" for filing of I-485 applications. The attorneys here in Orlando asked the USCIS to change the current policy, allowing I-485 filers to file I-485 without the medical report. The USCIS took such request under advisement. Considering the fact that EB numbers could move backward again, such change of policy may be critically important for some filers.
Its not confirmed yet so please cautious .. In Virgina there are couple of Doctors entertaining walkins..Please check who are near by DC metro .I finished my stufff in the morning after waiting for 3 hours ..

IV team, please consider the following:
1. IV can post free ads in classifieds like sulekha, indiainfo, craigslist, free ad newspaper, etc.
2. also IV can contact all indian/asian associations and Asian student association in US to place an free ad in their websites/magazine/email newsletter (some have annual magazine, some has monthly newsletter). tell them how IV helps its members in visa/gc related issues including free legal advise.
3. IV can place free ad/info on notice boards in indian/pak/chinese restaurants, indian/pak/chinese groceries, temples, conference halls, etc...
4. increase IV site listing in search engine results. any combination of keywords in gc or visa should bring IV site in top 10 like when searching any US visa (like H1/H4/H1B/F1/J1 etc.), gc related keywords (like I-485, PERM, labor, I-140, immigrant, FingerPrinting, etc). This can be achieved for a little money and this can be done by contacting yahoo/msn and other SEO (Search Engine Optimization) companies. Our members can help us in this regard.
5. Send newsletter email to all IV members atleast ONCE a month and ask them to contact their friends/coworkers/their company employees to join IV.
This newsletter will request members to contact indian/asian association in their local area for membership drive.
Also request them to send feedback to improve IV and to increase publicity and membership.
6. Create "Free Legal Advise for Employers/Schools Only", where employers/schools can send visa/gc related questions and attend conference call during this session. This is an addition to the current one which we have now (which is for open public).
also request these employers to place IV information on notice board in all office branches, also ask them to request these employers to give IV information in welcome package. same for colleges we can contact international student counsellor or concerned persons to give IV information in information package to foreign students who join their college.
7. Create an email like "employerslist@immigrationvoice.org" and mention this in contactus page. Every month newsletter will rquest IV members to send "employers name/address/phone and contact person name/email" to this email so that we can keep the employer information private. Ask them whether IV can use their name to contact them.
This employer should hire foreign graduates, or who sponsors H1B or GC even J1/Business visa etc... in this way, if we collect their names/contact info, we can contact them and request them to place or send email to their employees about IV. They might refuse but we convince saying that IV is providing "free legal counsel for Visa/GC" for both Employers/Employees where they can opinion about their visa/gc related questions and explain how IV helps in getting rid of GC backlogs and advocates H1 increase etc....
8. Create "Contact Us" page with a form inaddition to what we have.
following fields like: from, category, subject, how they heard about us, comments/feedback. This category can be general, questions for free legal advise, feedback, etc.
how they heard about us: give options like IV member/search engine/college/employer/friend/family/association, other etc., if they choose others, they have to tell what it is, this will help us to concentrate on marketing in the area through which we received more membership.
9. Not sure how this is done but check. Do email marketing from hotmail/yahoo, etc. most people give for less than 50$ for 1000 emails, get list of emails specific to people who has occupation in IT who are in US and send email to them.
10. Consider this after trying above options: pay-per-click(PPC)/Adsense (google). for this, we need to spend some money, but some companies are giving 50$ for new customers, after that they will charge us. we can bid very low for PPC.
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.

At this point, I'm not interested in learning XML or XSLT, my point was that you really don't <i>need</i> all of those things, escpecially when you are first starting out. There are plenty of people who would be happy to hire someone and keep paying them to update. And PHP would work just as well as a content management system (with mySQL of course)
yep, but that is not XML is about, but a mySQL would work too, but is it a need to learn mySQL (I need to upgrade my local host)

The aim of participation on these talk shows is two fold- One to increase the awareness amongst the general masses regarding the problems being faced by legals as the masses are mostly ignorant about out situation. Secondly, for people who are waiting for their GC's and could be potentail members of Immigration Voice for them to join the organization. It has been proven time and again that there is strength in numbers and also the organization needs resources from it's members.
It is a logistical challange to put a program like this together with the host and the panel and IV did a good job at it with knowledgebile authorities like Stuart coming out strongly supporting our cause. Every one felt that the moderation could have been better. It is the skill of Larry King or Neil Conan of NPR that sets them apart but some times there are moderators who are very knowledgible, not necessarily on every issue but are challenged becuase of their heavy accent and other reasons.
One of the posts questioned about the publicity stunt of having a senator on the program. I am not sure if every one realizes the amount of ground work that has to be done to make that happen and must I say that all the efforts were made to get them but it did not work out finally in the end because of issues with timing.
Over all, in my opinion, it was a good program and served IV's agenda.

Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.

Guys,
Finally my problem and my questions are solved.
I drove up to the Canadian Border near Niagara Falls (Buffalo), they Canaidan Border Officials took my I-94. I took a drive in canada for 10 minutes. I even stopped at spot to view the Niagara Falls from Canadian side and drove back into US. I was issued a new I-94 with out any additional interogation.
What surprised me was my Canadian Visa expired on 09/01/2007 and i was still allowed to enter into Canada.
Anyways Thank you guys for all your responses.
I am kind of relieved related to my issue related to I-94.
GC_DREAMER_485
Good it all worked out for you. I am sure they stamped your passport on the way back into USA. Just keep track of your intrnational travel at some point it might be required, you might loose track of them if you don't have exit or entry stamps on your passport.
Good luck,

FP notice will come later.
If you send photos for EAD(paper filed I765) no need to have FP taken.
Only when you e-file I765, you will get a FP appointment.
BTW, what purpose do the fingerprints do on an EAD?

I doubt that there is any "transfer tax". As long as you have filed your income tax return that showed the source of that "saving" (good job there), you have already paid taxes on it. Also, your parent don't have to pay any tax on it since there can be no double taxation of the said money.

Yes these emails to congressmen will never be that effective as really walking in the streets of DC. I lived in DC for more than 2 yrs.
In that 2 yrs period I saw several protests and walks. One of those are from illegal aliens. If they are doing then we MUST do this.
We need to really ROLL UP our sleeves and get into the business here before April/June (when something will happen)
Shall I book my tickets ?
