Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.
Bottomline: CHANGE is happening... Hope and prayers are helping... Good luck to all

Ok, in defense of Nikon, how are Canon's lenses "far superior"? Yes, they have IS (VR) in long teles, and their wide T/S lens has a bit more flexibility. But say Janey wants to do some extreme macro photography? Yeah, Canon has the MP-E 65mm that goes from 1x to 5x, but it's expensive, and for the same cost (or less) one might be able to get a PB-6, enlarger lens, movie camera lens, 50mm lens, and various accessories to link them all together, and in the end have a much more flexible macro system.
Please read......."IMHO".................my opinion, not anyone's else's and are not we all entitled to opinions? Certain I am sure there are several scenarios that might favor one mfgr over the other........."what if" situations abound.

Got the status update email from USCIS stating a card has been issued for my 485 application.
I am not married yet. What are the implications if I get married to a citizen of india residing in India.
Kindly refer me to appropriate material if you know of any.
Thanks,
Akshay
Then, your spouse should comes in family catagory. You should sponser I-130for a spose of LPR. But FB catagory backlogged very bad now the PD is 2003. It takes many years.
Other option is wait for 5 more years. You will become US citizen after 5 years. Then apply 130 for your spouse (spose of citizen). As there is no numatical limt, your spouse can come immediatly.
Other option is she/he can come in H1,L1 and any othe non-immigrant catagories. However, they wont give certain non-immigrant visa like student, for your spouse if they kow she/he is a spose of LPR. Consult a lawyer.
Other easy optin is marry a person in US.

One of friends got advice from a tax consultant about the 401K withdrawal question you have. The best approach in this case would be to phase out the withdrawal amounts over a period of successive years. When you are in India, you are not earning US income. So say if you take 10K the first year, it will be considered income earned in US for which you have to pay tax. Since 10K is below the standard deduction amt, you will not have to pay any tax. The penalty will still apply as you are breaking the 401K.

I agree that IV should be focused, but this doesn't mean that all the tasks within that focus group need to be worked on in one go. I was just suggesting that excluding dependents from visa numbers is something that we can probably add to a forthcoming bill. Or at the very least, let dependents file for I-485 without the requirement that PD of the primary applicant be current. Just think about it, the main reason why the majority of the members are happy now is because they expect to get EADs for their spouses so they can start working, not because their GCs will be obtained any sooner. Let's not forget a potentially sizable portion of our member base (whether they have already contributed is another matter, this might actually inspire them all to contribute) who while thankful to IV are unsure of what lies ahead for them and their (future) spouses.
And yes, my sympathies out to the labor backlog victims too. With hundreds of thousands of people applying for their AOS now, I wonder when they would be able to file for their I485 at all. The same question is being asked by many singles as well.

Thanks for the responses.
YEah i did get my passport renewed rigght after i came back from Canada.
However i totally forgot about my I-94.
So you think the only way to get the i-94 extended is to go out of country.
Even i heard about getting I-94 renewed from major international airports. Does anybody has any further information related to this?
Please advise. GOT THIS FROM Internet

Guys,
The AILA article may not be sufficient to explain how exactly we've been hurt. I've added a few more lines in the end and emailed to some of these addresses:
A======
Losses suffered by my family and tens of thousands of others:
1) Cost of medical exams and having to take vaccinations
2) Attorney fees
3) Cost of getting paperwork expedited from home countris
4) Cost of time off from work to prepare the applications
5) Postage/Fedex
6) People canceling their non-refundable tickets for summer travel so they could be in this country
7) People having to spend a lot of extra money to fly their families back.
8) People having to change their marriage plans and having to pay for cancellations of a lot of events.
6) Emotional trauma our families had to go through. A spouse who is forced to sit at home for many years was shown a hope for being able to work and that hope being shattered
MY BIG QUESTION IS :
Could the federal government have been able to get away with something like this if it had affected 100 US Citizens? NO!
In this case, it harmed, financially and emotionally devastated atleast 150-200 thousand FAMILIES, but those were of Legal hi-tech foreign workers....Who cares about them !

Its not a legal loophole. Some states just do it that way. Their under pinning argument is that you are on a temporary visa and does not have permanent residency. Also, its not the University that makes up the rules. There is some thing called domicile office in most schools and they determine residency for in state/out of state purposes. The domicile office has specific set of instructions on how they should determine eligibility requirements for in state. For example common wealth of VA has state council for higher education (http://www.schev.edu/Students/VAdomicileguidelines.asp?from=students) that provides these guidelines. Check out what AZ has to say and if they say only permanent residency is a requirement to be eligible for in state, there is nothing much you can do.
Also, its not a federal violation as states decide what they want to do with their university systems. If you want you can write to your state senators and assembly man and see what they have to say. Its very difficult to explain them these nuances when there are a bunch of people crying out loud that many illegals are getting in state rates.

guys i think USCIS is not interested in giving EB 3 guys GC...
as mostly EB 3 guys r ppl with Bachelors (and less than 5 yrs exp) or who are stuck with EB3 due to there company (like me)...
EB 2 guys r mostly with ppl having masters degree from US...so i guess they will definetly get more preference than eb3...
I guess US wants to raise there economy by giving GCs...so that ppl more ppl will buy houses....
I hope something happens for EB3 also...but I guess in Oct bulletin PD for EB3 will b some month in 2001....
so gud luck to all of us

Pappu,
Do you know why the 485 was denied? It seems AC21 was invoked, more than a year after 485 was filed.

I have been feeling sad that I have not been able to make it to the rally and after hearing about the energy, the camaraderie and the excitement you all shared I know for sure I missed out on a once in a life time oppurtunity, there will always be that sadness in me, the only comfort I have is that I tried to contribute in ways other than attending the rally.
But I am very glad that this turned out be such a resounding success.
IV ROCKS
U bet - but your support from the behind was great :)

2000-2002 was worst. Who didnt do job search during that time have no idea how it felt like.
I just came out of school then and it felt like sky is falling on me. Becoming desparate to survive, i went to work in a gas station. The lady owner didnt pay me after i worked for a week saying i am not concentrating enough. Then out of no where i found a technology job that paid 17$ per hour to keep me going and they did my H1 a year later in 2002. It just made me more strong i guess. But, it is a hell of an experience. Most of my freinds went for second masters or PHD to Keep the status.
I've got to agree with you. I was just getting out of college that time as well. I had a job at Best Buy, and trying to find my first break, and all my senoirs were getting laid off. I finally got an internship at a startup company for $2000 a month, and ever since then the market has been doing good. I really hope it will never come to the way it was back then. But as of now things are doing quite well, there is stilll a lot of hiring going on.

I don't know if it is really easy to renew in US.Because i just filled the form with this link https://passport.gov.in/nri/OnlineRegistration.jsp?pocode=USAW and saved the application.I thought It'll save my details , but It looks like it sent the application to embassy.When I wanted to reprint the form it's asking the Web File No which I never received.May be I need to call them for this #.I tried to fill the form and save again.It's coming up with blank page without any Web File No.
