I pray that the DOS advances the cut-off dates and get my I-485 approved by March - because I don't get excited at all by these immigration reform bills. There are 12-25 million illegal aliens in this country. 10,000+ crosses the border on daily basis.
I predict that the USCIS will be very, very busy processing guest-worker permits for all those people and my I-485 process would be put on hold again.
ALAN CHOATE AND TYLER PETERSON - Daily Herald
Congress should move forward on immigration reform now that the U.S. House of Representatives has new leadership, Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, said Friday.
The issue has been stalled, Cannon said, because of a decision by former House majority leader Tom DeLay, the congressman from Texas who has become embroiled in campaign finance scandals.
U.S. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was picked to replace DeLay as majority leader on Thursday, and immigration legislation is high on his agenda, Cannon told Utah legislators.
He said legislation for a guest worker program should emerge soon that could include requirements for English instruction and health insurance.
"That should be done by, I hope, the end of April," Cannon said.
His comments came in response to a question from state Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, who criticized Congress' "absolute failure" to provide a process for regulating immigrant labor. Cannon also expressed sympathy for the struggles of state legislators who must balance budgets even when the federal government cuts revenue -- for programs like Medicaid, for example -- that had been provided previously.
"The pain of that is great," he said. "I would love to tell you we're never going to cut your budget again."
His proposed solution is to reduce the size and authority of the federal government: "The best way to govern in America is to let the states do it," he said.
Cannon made those comments on the Senate floor after answering three different questions from representatives on the House floor: How do we get the federal government out of our hair? When will federal government allow us to make more decisions on what we fund? and Why is federal government always overriding states' rights?
Cannon said the solution is to keep the money within state budgets, because as long as federal government has it, they share accountability.
He said the will in the U.S. House is to give states more discretion

when we do not know what is in the bill why are we assuming he will be calling for
adjustment of status to Legal Immigrants.
Grow up.................
If the title of this thread is what is in the bill then there are so many hurdles before it will even be voted on.
So relax and smile like pappu :) :)

thanks! i do have business activities... and i am not worried about audits...
If you are independent contractor you can take some allowed expenses. If you are salaried employee you need to show loss for getting some benefit. Generally if you show loss for 3 years continously then IRS mostly deny on third year. In any case if you take too much expense you are inviting audit and that is going to be nightmare. I do not think it is a good idea to start a company just for expenses unless you are going to do business. Atleast you should be doing independent contracting(corp to Corp).

As per my company if you do not carry AP and your green card is approved and you enter using H1 you will invalidate your green card.
If your green card is approved and you use AP to enter no problem.

Thanks to everyone for such rapid and helpful replies. Dbevis asked what I was trying to achieve. I should have mentioned this; I'd come across the concept of hyperfocal distance and its calculation. I realised that I had no idea what the focal length of the zoom lens is at any setting (other than at the wide-angle (and telephoto) end of the zoom scale). Having said all that, by putting in some trial numbers into the hyperfocal distance equation - representing the focal lengths at the bottom end of the zoom range and at various logical aperture settings - it turns out that the furthest hyperfocal distance I'm likely to encounter is about 10 feet. Now, I must see if theory is borne out by practice. I have had the camera 4 years now and I never seem to stop learning something more about it.
Many thanks for the ideas submitted; I will see what I can discern with a tape measure fixed to a wall.
Many thanks.
Martin

deepakjain:thanks for the latest info on this.
Little clarification required, what do you mean "delivered the next day betn 4:30-5:00". You mean one can collect it the next day in the evening?
jkm2282, sorry for hajacking your post. Any updates from your side?
You have the option of collecting your passport over the VFS counter in mumbai, and the passport is delivered between 4:30 to 5:00 PM on the next day of your interview.
The best way to get your passport is to call VFS office in mumbai between 8:30 to 2:00 PM any day 022-66547600, quote your passport number, the VFS helpdesk should be able to tell you if they have received your passport from the US consulate or not.
If the VFS personal says over the phone that they have your passport with them then you can collect the same from the VFS office.
Another option to track passport is to SMS - "VISA{space}US{Space} "passport number.
Regards,
Deepak

She is a derivative on my pending AOS, has a valid EAD/AP. She used to work on H1 and stopped work sometime ago. Does she need to do anything/is she automatically considered to be in AoS status?
Nothing is needed from employee.
Employer needs to notify USCIS about termination.

Thanks for the quick reply, Krishna. I would infact get paid in INR in an Indian account. But what do we do when we file our taxes? When my husband files as "married filed jointly", do we declare this income? Do you have any inputs on that.
Income earned in India has nothing to do with US taxes.
Even if you file as "married filed jointly", there is no requirement to have it declared.
You will pay US taxes only when the income is earned in US.
You would rather file taxes in India for the INR income.
Thanks,
Krishna

Is it possible to track 140 without the receipt notices.
Did you pay using your check? If so, I heard in this forum that they print receipt numbers on the back of the checks. I don't know if that helps.

So what do I do.
I am looking to buy a SUBWAY franchise outright costing 200 K
I do not know how can you apply for the green card from the SubWay. If it was Indian hotel people apply as international Chef. But SubWay does not need that kind of expertise. If you want do the business that is fine. 200K seems little high even for the green card.

Call me superstitious but just wanted to kick off this thread again in the hope that this miracle will repeat this year. I have a gut feeling 2011 will bring that magic moments again.
Probably, your wish is granted (even if it is just for few hours while they correct the error :p). Why I say this? Look at visa bulletin on Mumbai Consulate's website, here's the link:
Cut Off Dates- Consulate General of the United States Mumbai, India (http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/cut_off_dates.html)
By the way, if it has changed (and does not have good news when you see it), it is currently showing 'current' for EB2.
Cheers!!!

CIS cannot approve a change of status to H-1B since you are not maintaining status. You will likely be approved as a notify and need to leave the US, get a H-1B visa, and then re-enter in H-1B status. It is critical that you don't overstay your I-94 by 180 days. If you do, you are subject to a 3 year bar on returning to the US.
You are out of status now, and have been out of status since your I-94 expired. You could be removed (deported) if you were found by CIS.
I suggest getting a second legal opinion because your lawyer might be giving you misleading information. It's hard to tell without knowing all the facts and what exactly s/he said to you.

You can apply from your Wife's company for that You will be dependent and her's will be primary.
When submitting you need to enter Alien numbers obtained from the first filing.
The critical part of applying like this is both the I 485 receipts SHOULD get same A# associated.
Once one 485 is approved USCIS will cancel the other or you can write th service center where pending I 485 is to cancel with all related details.,
HAVING MORE OPTIONS IS ALWAYS BETTER!!

FYI, I have been in the queue for 6.5 years now. I did write the letter.
Cool... thank you for your efforts. I didn't want to offend you... just in case you got that impression. The point is, as long as the AOS is pending approval, there is the risk that we can be thrown to the back of the queue because of a rejection of the AOS application for a reason beyond our control.
If that happens... and if we need to re-start then we are looking at about 12 years for our next chance, as it will take at least so long for a PD from 2008 or later to become current... unless:
1) a miracle like June 2007 happens
OR
2) the EB GC process is revamped, which is what IV is trying to make happen!

When did you file I-140 at TX? RFE could be for documents about ability to pay.
Hi guys My I140 filed in TEXAS case status online says request for additional information was mailed, I haven't received mail yet, I want to go ahead and collect all the documents required so i can reply immediately as soon as we receive RFE mail,
can you guys tell usually what kind of information is requested in EB3 cases.
