So long as you are not a permanent resident (GC holder) or citizen it is understood that you are a temporary worker or a poor student or a a poor researcher who probably owns a small tea shop in his/her country. If this nation comes after the small income that you generate from your tea shop then hell that is NASTY!! They have other things to worry about and not only that the indian/other govts wont allow foreign nations to meddle in their internal income tax regulations unless international fraud is suspected. So all poor IV members be at rest dont worry about your acounts in India/china but be careful if you have something up there where chese/chocklate/rolex is made best.
I think we should worry about how to obtain SS benefits if ever some of us had to leave the US. Let us be informed about the requirements to claim SS benefits not about what more you have to give out of the petty sums you have struggled to save.

This does seem unreasonable. I am still not clear why the IO is rejecting your approved case. I mean, if your former company is supporting you, and you were paid the prevailing wage, and the company is in sound financial shape with audited records etc., where is the ability to pay issue? Worse yet, it seems like they are going back on their own evaluation of the company's ability to pay, which they should have verified prior to approving the 140.
Can you think of any other reasons why they might be taking a 2nd look at your case? I doubt the name check thing is a reason here.
I also can't believe they are that upset with folks for using AC21, knowing how bad retrogression is right now and since AC21 was brought in specifically for this reason.
we never sent 1099 before and in his/her calculation there were diff of 1099 and IO was trying to look for income/assets to account for that diff. this time we sent IO 1099 and they add up to proferd wage.
But the first poiint that comes is why would IO reopen an approved case 2.5 yrs down the road.
I may not have evidence for to judge, but the sequence of dates tell me that there is somthg fishy.
Oct 16 namecheck letter forwarded from VP office to USCS
Nov 2 namecheck cleared
Nov 8 I-140 intent to deny letter
Who knows whats in IO mind for revisitng the 140 case but the point is if its the same IO who denied my 140/485 in feb,07 for not asking about my new emplyer, I am scared that if he does the same mistake this time i willl have to again go into appeal process.
And this time i don't have any H1 status as fall back. So I am very worried because that IO now control our lives
So strange that thhey can screw someones lives not because we did wrong but because of their ignorance.
I went thru this early this year when i had to be out of jo until my 485 was re-opened.

My Labor started showing "CERTIFIED" from Jul, 12th. Called the Legal Department today to check if they have received the hard copy, but was told they are still waiting. Also asked to see if DOL started using e-mail option as well to notify about the adjudication.
Hopefully, they should receive the certified copy atleast by the end of this week.
mine took about 3 weeks from DBEC after showing 'certified' online

Hallo, is anybody who is either aged out or has kids that will age out soon/near future, willing to talk to a journalist?? The issue will be reported to a wide audience including law makers. Please come forward and let me know. If this particular journalist has already contacted you then I would highly encourage you to provide the necessary information.

Lets not forget the lesson learned from the last DC rally. We came to a conclusion that unless we strengthen our local state chapters, we won't be successful with these type of rallies. Nothing much has been done to activate the local state chapters. Most of them are as inactive as they were in the past.

The below comment is not true. Please consult an attorney for your specific case. It is possible to have a PERM application, even though your RIR is pending in BPC.
You will lose your RIR automatically when you apply for PERM with same company and same job description. If everything is same, they should in theory retain your old PD but it is not guaranteed. So, there is some risk associated with this process. Alternatively, you can continue to wait for a few more months for your RIR to come through. BECs have been chruning our RIRs at a fairly decent rate. They have an oct 2007 deadline to meet with all BEC cases.

b) What happends after Aug 20 , 2011 - I-94 out of status ?

but its nice to see how we are so vibrant of these bills when is it scheduled for debate.. u remember the back door policies being used , if this to be a sep bill it needs to go through a lot of committees etc ( i think so) hence offered as a amendment to any bill that has high chance of getting passed now i think the other bill that talks about recapture is linked to it so to put immigrants in spot. Tough choice hah ,,,

nixstor,
I am thinking to do Masters not only for GC but also to make progress in my career. My EB3 PD is Jan 2006. When I would finish MS, I can port my Jan 2006 to EB2 category.
Thanks
If you are in IT field, then what matters most id your knowledge and soft skills
Just getting a MS degree won't bring wonders in your field. I am telling you with first hand experience of mine
But there are advantages of doing onsite MS in US:
It gets you to US if you are already not in US:---> But coming to USA on H1B is a better deal instead of coming here on F-1. But again H1B is now lottery susyem now
You may enjoy the college here while doing MS but again it is a costly proposition
Other than this there is absolutely no use of MS when it comes to IT field in particular. MS is a vehicle which you can use to get into some specialized filed like chip designing, biotech etc etc but for IT not very uselful.
Also, in the long run having a career in accounting is a far better idea than having a career in IT.
PM me if you need specific details

I don't understand why the information is being made public. I have been on this forum since 2006. Witnessed time and again information being made public and not going anywhere. If something has to happen let it come through official channel i.e. thomas.gov
Even if IV has been authorized to make the information public (I assume so) by whosoever, why are they choosing this forum to judge waters?
I hope and pray this (untimely?) publication of information does not jeoprdize our chances if there are any.

Can one confirm for sure that I'm eligible for SS benefits..(Its been 9 yrs and one more here I can spend to reach that magic figure).
Ok, I'm not much into look at this on pros and cons way..
The strong points for me to get motivated to go back are:
1. Kids...I feel its better for kids grewup in india for the kind of importance we give for education. Its hard to see atleast in my experience the true spirit of competetiveness....the way we had....
2. Career..I worked in india as a lead and manager before coming here...and though no one offered me mgmt jobs here..I'm not ready to take ..due to the facts known to everyone...here we just can't be managers...(not a rule of thumb..)..Now I see better things happening back at home..salaries are amazing....(politics are there no matter where you are)..I'm confortable in saying my savings more or less matches even the kind of income I'm targetting...
3. Life...guys...I don't know how you guys term it in your experience...but I feel sick in cleaning bathrooms and kitchens and doing laundry and ironing...day after day every day....common...we deserve doing much better things..
4. Routine:...guys..Its just routine...nothing changes...monotony kills me...
I don't say things would be rosy there...but...I feel more satisfying in visiting places in india than driving bloody 500 miles around to take photographs..nothing gives you a feeling of belongingness..I am ready to take hardships for the sake of my parents...I want to visit them on demand..vise versa...and quality of life...common guys..we grew up there...don't we enjoy being there till we come here..??..
-------------------
COMPETITIVENESS
==> What comptitiveness are you talking about? If U.S. wasn't comepetitive, why are YOU here and waiting to get a green card?
==> Career and politics: Things are always greener on the other side. Politics here is not as bad as in India (atleast in my experience). Patiently waiting in line for everything and bribing everyone in the chain have been and continue to remain rule of thumb that you talk about.
==> Life, sick and tired of laundry - Why not hire a cleaning lady and get your clothes dry cleaned?

My understanding is that 2 years OPT and 1 year of employment will suffice - for students through a new F4 visa.
BUT, my main worry is that the PACE act may redefine "advanced degree" which is no where defined per say so it may leave out Master's degree. Some stuff on that is available at
http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html
An extract is appended below.
***********
03/29/2006: Advanced Degree vs Doctoral Degree, and EB Cap Exemption vs Special Immigration Benefits
Both Frist bill and Judiciary Committee bill include legislation to keep or bring in the brightest to this country. Both of these bills were intended to incorporate another pending legislative bill, PACE Act. However, in the process, Sen. Frist and Sen. Specter made some changes. For these reasons, people are very confused about the scope and parameter of this legislation when it comes to the eligible brightests.
First, there is no definition of "Advanced Degree." Neither the current immigration statute has a provision defining the term. However, the advanced degree is defined by the immigration regulation to mean 'Any U.S. academic or professional degree or a foreign equivalent degree above that of baccalaureate.' Simply put it means a master's degree or higher degree.
Advanced degree thus encompass both master's degree and doctoral degree. However, PACE Act attemps to distinguish between the U.S. doctoral degree holders vs. non-U.S. doctoral degree holders. Additionally, the Act distinguish U.S. doctoral degree holders vs master degree holders (both U.S. and foreign earned) when it comes to the specific benefits.
Hi all,
I am still confused as to whether STEM provisions require advanced degree (MS/Phd) with 3 years of experience before labor certification filing/approval or after? Any ideas...
