Dont flll 1040 by yourself if you are not a tax expert.

Line 34 in 1040 is tuition and fee deduction and you have to file form 8917.

get Some software such as Turbotax or Taxcut


Are you serious? I must be a super expert on taxes because I have always done it on paper using a calculator for the last 14 years and counting. Just spend an hour reading the instructions and you're done. Have a question, call the IRS. Unlike other government agencies (cough.. USCIS cough..) the agents at the other end of the line are actually helpful and responsive.

not sure if moving to another state is a option...
but i can think of..
1) cancel the insurance
2) apply for another insurance effective from your return date, cancel the existing insurance.
3) take min liability only
4) see if they can suspend it for 2 months.

Yeah was a real eye opener, this one. Makes u wonder sometimes, whether we are really welcome in this country or not. More importantly, will we ever be REALLY accepted as part of the "American culture". These organizations are open about their "feelings" toward immigrants. There are a Whole lot more people who may not be so open about their thoughts, but still have them nonetheless.

But worry not, we are equally thick skinned. Green Card to Lekar hi rahenge :)

To All,

I Am Planning To Goto India And Re-enter Usa Using Advance Parole And My H1-b Visa Stamp Has Been Expired In The Passport. Originally, I Planned To Travel By Air-india From Newark, Nj To Mumbai. The Flight Will Stop Over In Paris For 3 Hours.

When I Contacted Air-india, They Said That Transit Visa Is Not Required. I Contacted French Consulate And They Said That I Need To Have Transit Visa If I Am Travelling With Advance Parole And Expired H1-b Visa. Is This True?

The Only Other Option Left For Me Is To Fly From Jfk To Mumbai.

my Question Is When I Am Entering Usa (poe � New York) Using Advance Parole,

If I Use Advance Parole, Will There Be Any Problem With The Immigration Check In New York.
What Kind Of Questions Immigration Officers May Ask
What Are The Documents I Need To Show At Poe-new York.
Usually, Everybody Says That Poe-new York Will Scrutinize More Than Poe-new Jersey. Is This True? Did Anybody Faced Any Problems At Poe-new York.

Please Share Your Experiences, Suggestions And Thoughts.

I sent invite to 50-60 people..please do same..

Folks,
It is outrageous that NSC is not churning out any post April 2004 approvals for EB2-I. Is any one is taking any actions?
What can be done?

Only after you get your green card.

It is illegal to overstay on a visitors visa, for that matter it is illegal to stay on any expired visa.

Thanks for your response.

But both of my labor certifcates are from the same company. I read somewhere I-140 is for intending to employ me. How can they employ me in two categories one on EB3 and one on EB2.

Do you see any disadvantage if I file both from the same company.

Thanks.

Here is a memo from one of the law firms, I found on the net.
http://www.michaelpiston.net/documents/m/changing%20employer%20after%20I-485%20is%20approved.pdf

After digging thro' forums it seems everyone talks about having the "intention" of staying with the Employer after GC.
Here's my question.
- Should the "intention" be on the day of filing 485 or the day you get GC ? (a date in future that no one can predict).

If the "intention" has to be at the time of 485 filing then, after 180 days of filing 485 one should be able to change employers, irrespective of the case being approved or NOT.

thoughts/comments ??

Logically speaking it should be while filing the petition not while getting the GC approved. All in all you should portray an intention of joining in your activities through your GC process. However, if your position warrants a shift and you can justify it, I guess you are good to go.

Congratulations!!.

The H4 process should be an easy one and first time, should be no problems. Not sure whether they will do Back ground check on a H4, till end of 2007 all of my friends got it pretty quick, in about 3 to 4 days.

They implemented PIMS after Nov 2007. So your H1 may get slight delay and not sure about new H4 rules.

Can you plese tell me the procedure to apply for I-131

i did this exactly, where my lawyer filed my ead, but i filed my ap myself. all u need is i-485 receipt copy.

Hi,

When I came into the United States, they documented my fingerprints. Now I want to apply for a reentry permit. Do I still have to pay for the Biometric fee? What exactly is it for?

I would really appreciate any help on the topic.

Hi ,

I'm looking for university professor/asst professor/lecturer job whereby university can sponsor h1b.If anybody can point me to universities which sponsor h1b in/near bay area ,it would be great. the local community colleges does not seem to sponsor h1b.

Thanks a lot,
Tarun

Faculty positions that require a minimum qualification of Ph.D. would sponsor H1-B.

I am curious; what is your qualification? Folks who have a serious shot at a faculty position normally do not bother about asking questions about H1-B; that's the least of the hurdles of getting a faculty position.

1, Manner of Last Entry into the U.S.: Should I choose PAR (PAROLEE) or H1B (SPECIALITY OCCUPATION)?
2, Status: Should I choose PAR (PAROLEE) or H1B(SPECIALITY OCCUPATION)?
3, Please select your eligibility status : Should I choose (a) (4) PAROLEE or (c) (9) FILED I-485?

Your status is Parolee for 1,2 and 3

I think these bills are too complicated and have possibilities of failing on the house floor, even if they pass through the senate..

My question to the group is: Does it make sense for us to lobby for changes to existing laws as 'amendments/enhancements' (do not know the exact term), which need not go through this full-blown congressional approval process.. Another issue that we are facing with the bills such as immig. comprehensive bill is that we get tagged together with illegal immig., so it becomes all the more probable to get rejected. I am just being realistic and urging the IV team to add one more action item to the agenda and see if we can put some efforts towards this additional agenda.

I think, in addition to supporting the bills, we should look at this additional possibility. Something like allowing I-485 even though the number is not available, just requires an amendment to the existing law. It does not require additional quota, so there is no major impact to immigration law as a whole. So, we may not need to wait for a bill to clear, in order for such reliefs to be approved.

My take is: we should strive for 3-pronged approach - 1) near short term approach is to ask for immediate relief such as I-485 filing without the visa number availability; there may be other such reliefs possible - 2) short term approach is to support the current bills being considerd, as we are doing already - 3) long term approach is to think of what is the backup plan in case 1 and 2 fails

Just thinking out loud here.

There have been cases reported in past on this forum where the PERM approval was lost in mail.

You should ask your employer to download the PERM approval from DOL ETA website, which should be completed and signed by both you and your employer (similar to the PERM paper approval that you did not receive).

Your lawyer should submit this form with I-140 and also request USCIS to obtain a duplicate copy of PERM approval from DOL. This may help.

Are you porting to EB2?

First, the letter you got is probably a standard local office interview letter, so that it assumes a marriage-based interview rather than employment-based. This happens often.

You should have an AC21 letter with you for the interview, to show that you continue to be eligible to adjust status.

Are they also getting new I-94 every time...:confused:

I forgot that. they Do not need new I-94 every time. But I remember We were asked to put all Entry to Canada on I485 papers . I use to go Toranto Every week at that time.

I don't see anything new implemented to give us more than that we already had.
