I do not know in which city of India you took out your PPF.,
But I heard you have to pay atleast 5% to get PPF back in Hyd.,
Hope corruption will not be that high by next 20 years in India!!
I can attest to that. It's not unusual to have to pay bribe from 10-25% to get the PPF money. And even that takes weeks/months to complete. I've personally known relatives in India who had to do that. It's not even considered anything out of ordinary there. Good Luck R2I's.

Tired of waiting ( PD: August 2001) I finally wrote to both my local congressman and Senator today. My senator is on senate Immigration commitee so lets see what happens. Hopefully something will move.
If this doesnt help I will try Ombudsman next after couple of months. The Ombudsman form has a question of if you have tried through Congressman etc first so we can try and see that.
Guys its so funny when you see ppl with PD of 2003 and 2005 complaining and bitching. Here we have waited 7 + yrs our PD's are current and we are doing OK. Wait sure brings maturity :)

hi people, i read all your comments about how the IV community feels about the DREAM Act, and how you guys dont know if it will benefit the children of legal immigrants that fall into a similar situation. Well i got good news for you people, i am a staff at Massachusetts Immigrant refugee advocate coalition and we had a talk with couple of staff from senators Hagel, and senator Lugar to confirm us which version of DREAM were they doing to introduce this week which most likely could be today or tomorrow. both staff members were positive that the version that will be introduce as an amendment to the defense bill will be word by word identical to S. 774 that was introduce early this spring. what this actually means is that this version of DREAM does not discriminate legal from illegal...... just wanted to clear all that out for you guys..... thanks

Just imagine what will happen to the market flooded with EADs. Job market for H1Bs will totally be down. No US companies will hire H1Bs if they get somebody with an EAD. Tonnes of Junior developers and S/W testers will in the market driving the billing rates down even further. It's better to pack up and leave. I have heard from one of the forums here that an estimated 500K people will file this month since all PDs are current. EB-3 mexico + phillipines togther alone will be close to 300K. God help the Job market.
Also minimum wait time will be 500K/140K ~ 4 yrs before they get to process your GC. Add to that the time for namecheck backlog 2+ yrs. So total 6+ yrs before getting GC........
lotr
This is the same argument used by anti-immigrants.
I am a nurse so we better flood the job market; don't you think so?

Birth & Womens Center in Dallas. (birthcenter.net)
I know several ladies from my Bradley class who have delivered their babies there and have great reviews.
Their total fee is $4,950 for all the prenatal care and normal pregnancy and delivery (no insurance).
Also anyone who wants to avoid medicated deliveries should check out Bradley classes.
thanks for the info.
I am little hesitant about this, I mean house like setting with midwifes. my wife is little bit uncomfortable.
I am looking for options where I can get a payment plan from hospital.
I have called few hospiltals and doctors. will post will more details once I finalize.
Thank you very much!

Their way of getting here may be illegal but when the amnesty is passed every so many years and they are allowed to just adjust their status with no questions asked, they are getting their GC as legally as it can get. They also get their GC only after it's legal to do so. They don't go and print one. They get it legally.
Again, it's the system/law that let's them do that. It's perfectly legal but they are cutting in line and that's where the problem is.
we complain about illegals because their very presence here without papers is ILLEGAL. what part of ILLEGAL do you not understand?
as far as I can tell, gmatch is not doing anything ILLEGAL. as for the practice being FAIR or NOT, that is a separate discussion.

H1B + GC holders pay SS + Medicare (??) for which they are entitled only when they become citizen.
Are you sure about this? That sucks! I always thought you were eligible for SS after you accrue 40 points....basically you get 4 points for every year of work. If you look at your SS report that's sent out before your b'day you will see the points you have accrued.
I thought 40 points was the only requisite; wasn't aware that you had to be a US citizen. Can you please verify this information?
Update: Did some research. Details posted in http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158966&postcount=40

Action item: let's beg USCIS to work slower and waste as much quota as possible.
Ron,
"
E. EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY
Demand for numbers, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases, is expected to bring the Employment Third preference category very close to the annual numerical limit in June. As a result, this category is likely to experience retrogressions or visa unavailability beginning in July. Such action would only be temporary, however, and a complete recovery of the cut-off dates would occur for October, the first month of the new fiscal year.
"
How do you see above message in the June Visa Bulletin? This means it is illegal to use all of them with in 3 quarters????
I don't wish to sound like Bill Clinton, but it depends on how you define "is." In this case, if they are using "annual limit" to mean the entire annual quota, then they are admitting that they have broken the law and issued too many visas in the first three quarters. Worse, they offer no explanation for having broken the law.[/COLOR]
Well, they could be talking about a subset of the annual quota, such as the quarterly quota. From the context, I don't think that is the case, but I'm also not used to seeing the State Department flat out admit illegality, either.
Well, if they do broke the law, can we do something about it? Like class action law suite???
Let's see if they did, first.

No way CIR or any form of amnesty for illegal will happen in the next few year.
Immigration is one thing where majority of americans are united in controlling illegal population.
It can pass Senate but House it will never pass.
Moment CIR comes up, the right wing will arouse the masses. House members focus on more
local issues and in many districts people dont want illegal amnesty or CIR. They want a crackdown.
Democratic members in the House will never pass CIR against a Republican opposition otherwise they will pay a heavy price in the election.
In fact democratic party was able to get the house by selecting conservation candidates in the
conservative districts. Thats was the Howard dean/Rahm emanuel strategy. Select candiates who can win rather than candidates who are steadfast with core democratic party principles.
Thus you have democratic party members like Jim Webb who are adrent supporters of the NRA
(pro guns) in a state like Virginia.
If this is true, how come CIR is one of the main agendas of democratic party. Also remember hispanic votes were a deciding factor in the last election. GOP acknowledges that. Moreover voters demographics has changed since last election. Electorate is comprised of higher percentage of forward thinking younger generation.
IMO anti-immigrant racist voter percentage will be on decline in coming years. So democrats/gop is better off catering to the likes of this younger generation.

oooh! the worries never cease...:D
I am now worried that eventually we will all get the GC and then we will sit out for 5-7 years and get a citizenship... Then make a trip to india only to realize that the the world has shifted.
Then it is all back to square 1, H1, GC, citizenship in India.... :D

This does sound strange, do you know what was the reason for this officer's visit to your employer two months back? also, i would suggest make sure all your paper work is fine, I mean LCA etc. indicating your correct place of work and right wages.
first of all make sure it was a genuine call
call USCIS back and find out if there is a visit scheduled for your house
also be carefull, check all credentials of whoever wants to come to your house
economy is bad, recession is in ,the crime rate is going to get bad, especially against immigrants etc
ps also i would second the visit at your office place instead and if need be , in the presence of a lawyer

Friends:
I was just going through the Immigration and Nationality Act as posted on the USCIS webpage. http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/INA.htm (see Section 274A)
I did not find any reference to the employment authorisation document (EAD card) in the INA. The reference to the EAD occurs in the Title 8 of the CFR (http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-10903/slb-27920?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-cfrp274a) The CFR is defined on the USCIS website as below (emphasis added by me).
"The general provisions of laws enacted by Congress are interpreted and implemented by regulations issued by various agencies. These regulations apply the law to daily situations. After regulations are published in the Federal Register, they are collected and published in the Code of Federal Regulations, commonly referred to as the CFR. The CFR is arranged by subject title and generally parallels the structure of the United States Code. Thus, Title 8 of the CFR deals with "Aliens and Nationality", as does Title 8 of the U.S. Code."
Unless, I missed something, the Secretary of the DHS has the authority to issue a regulation requiring the agencies to issue the EAD at any stage, similar to the powers the Secretary has to extend the validdity of the EAD beyond a year if he seems fit. Am I correct in my interpretation? I would welcome any person to please point out the applicable law (not regulation) which mentions that EAD can only be given after appling for adjustment of status and not before.
If I am way off base on this, then brickbats are also welcome.

your id rightly tells your attitude...we are talking about USCIS delays and you are talking about something else...Join twitter to tweet nonsense, but don't kill a valid topic here.If you are replaceable then you have false claimed in your application that no American is available for your job. It defeats your H1B and Green card application. America invites H1Bs and gives them greencards not because they are paying taxes but because employers prove no american is available for our job and we have unique skills for job. 'Best and Brightest' is we are and USA needs us. Without us the economy will be more bad.

I think the "someone" you mentioned was me. Feel free to use my name. Glad I could be of help ;)
Folks,
I am going to share with you what I have done regarding refilling and why I have done that.
Call me a paranoid or something else but the fact of the matter is that time period between July 2nd and Aug 17th is a golden opportunity that may not present itself for several years now.
Though the chances of my application getting rejected due to mail room error is less but in the game of probability everyone of us stand equal chances of getting hit by a thunder bolt.
Just a side note - They install lightning rod on buildings to protect from lightening even though chances are 1 in 700,000. Well, my odds are much worse than that. Hence, I need to protect myself.
Regarding filling multiple 485 applications, Rajeev Khanna has categorically stated in one of his meetings that he is doing it. And we all know he is a person of good reputation.
There are two scenarios I can think about:
a) My July 2nd is accepted: In such cases either my later filled application is automatically rejected or they will send me a letter asking me to choose one.
Someone on one of his/her post had mentioned about stop payment idea. He may have a point. Call USCIS and you will find out that only thing they will do is reject your application, which is what you want if your earlier application is already in process.
Somebody also stated just like what they did in H-1B cases on 04/02/07, they may reject both applications, well; H-1B case was different due to lottery system.
b) My July 2nd application is rejected: Well, I just protected myself from a thunder bolt.
Having suffered in Green Card race for so long, my risk taking capacity has greatly been reduced. I am not advising or urging anyone to take any action. I am just sharing what I did.
