When money is in excess of $10,000, there are several applicable rules.
~ It must be reported to treasury, it transfer in a year is more than $10,000.
~ It must be reported to treasury, at any time foreign bank account had money in excess of $10,000.
And of course:
~ Interest in foreign banks and earning in foreign stocks must be reported as income on US returns (any world-wide income).
There are many violations, and perhaps IRS is unable to chase defaulters. People enjoy defaulting and not reporting.

Raj,
Sorry to hear about your lengthy RFE. I received a similar RFE but just asked contract documents between my company and client. I have 2 layers in between. My company, Prime Vendor and Client.
I've submitted POs showing the contract and a letter from Prime Vendor stating that I work on a project for Client.
Just responded to the RFE and keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope this helps...
Wanted to share with you guys that my H1 Extension is approved after responding to the RFE.
Hopefully it helps others who are in a similar situation.
Good luck guys...

Keep in mind when you change to your new Job .Your previous labor was approved in specific job code plus your advertisement which your old company used for filing perm application. All those job requirements need to match at least by 50% or so.

Hi there
Yes, when you join work you need to fill a new I9 to officially claim your right to employment using an EAD (if you have entered as an H4). Basically, this is the documentation to prove that you are undertaking authorized employment and giving up your H4 status.
Now, if the underlying 485 of the primary applicant gets denied, then you can continue working if your H1 is still valid but sadly your wife cannot work and has to stop working immediately until a MTR is filed and USCIS resumes the case processing pending decision of MTR.
A friend of mine was in this situation. His wife stopped working, their lawyer filed MTR (wife took unpaid leave of absense for 2 months) and after the case status changed to under consideration, she resumed working. Remember, the EAD is only valid as long as the 485 is not in a denied status. If employment is continued after 485 is denied and before MTR is accepted, you can later face problems for having engaged in unlawful employment in case you have an interview.
Thanks again Chaanakya,
I understand that the dependent loses the EAD status when the underlying 485 is denied. However, if the primary applicant is still maintaining H1, then is there a way to get H4 back by staying here in the US. Or is the only way to get H4 is to go back to India and come back here. At this point I do not care about filing an MTR to open the 485, but I need to get back to H4 status.

Do they have a signature authorization from you? If not , they can not send a G-28 that is not signed by YOU !
On the first page of 485, my employer put his address.
So I am guessing the 485 receipt will go to him even without any G-28.
EAD and AP will directly come to you anyway.

What is Code 3 and Code 1 ? My Notice says Code 3
from:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/index.php/t-191494.html
Code 1 is all 10 FP. This is electronically sent to FBI the same day, they run it to match thru their database to match it with criminals/persons of interest and send the results the same day (or the next) to USCIS. Code 1 is very important as it is part of your security/background check and determines admissibility for gc.
Code 2 (index+photo+sign) is for the generation of cards for immigration benefits e.g. EAD, gc etc. If you filed for EAD, you definitely need code 2 or the card can not be generated.
Code 3 is a combination of both, when USCIS wants to get a security check done on you as well as generate cards (EAD) for you.
Code 1 expires after 15 months e.g. FBI needs to check their database again. I have had two code 1. Code 2 is done everytime we apply for benefits (EAD- once a year).

Wata,
If I were you, I would rather wait atleast till Nov 2006 before converting I-140case to premium processing because as you said NSC is currently processing I-485 cases for Dec 2005 and it would take 5/6 months more from now to come to June/July 2006 to process I-485 at current pace. But Again this is my personal thought....
Moreover, in order to take advantage of AC21 portability you I-140/I-485 case has to be 6 months old. So getting I-140 approved through premium processing does no good as you would have to wait till Dec 2006 anyway for your I-140/I-485 case to become 6 months old.
Thanks,
Law Loving Alien

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
You should be able to claim them as dependents in your 2007 taxes if they pass the "substantial presence" test. You can get 2 additional "exemptions" for them in your return. IRS looks to issue new ITINs only during tax filing (so when you mail your return next year, you attach their W7s with your filing). Or your parents can open a savings bank account and if they have any "income" in the US, they are entitled to an ITIN any time of the year.
I have just applied for ITINs for my parents who spend 6 months every year with me. They pass the substantial presence test and I plan to file amended returns as soon as I obtain their ITINs. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Well it seems the idea to get a Stimulus for 2008 for people having spouses with ITIN is nearing dead end (no action). Now the government is planning another stimulus. I think we should work on taking the necessary steps to prevent the same happening this year (being dropped out). I think we should raise awareness and write to all people including President Obama.

I also don't think this is true. After you get your 3-year H1B extension beyound the 6-year limit and say your 485 gets denied while you are in 7th year, you can still stay and work for the rest of the 2 years on your H1B and use those 2 years to file for new LC etc.
Gurus, please advise, with the slew of mistaken 485 denials this is an important point to clarify.
He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.

Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Good idea.
What we need is:
1- A document about the economic impact legal immigrants are making (H1, L1, EAD etc). It should include estimates of Federal, state, SS tax and sales taxes. You can also include estimates how we can impact economy by buying houses. Use the research document used by another organization someone posted yesterday to understand how such documents are written. Get some number crunchers and people with good writing skills in your team. There was a google group created by GC_peshwa yesterday. I think this group could do such proactive work. Set your timelines and work on it. You can post updates of your group on the forum so that others know about it and can join if interested. Once you finish the document, it can be sent as a release and also sent to reporters and lawmakers.
2. This group can also work on your idea from the post by posting on other news sites.
I think these are the kind of action items our community must be doing proactively. What we see on forums and websites are people wasting time on trackers, useless discussions on anti H4, EB2EB3, Andhra, spillover fights, pulling each other down etc. Such shameful posts either shows that these people do not really care about greencard issue or are just plain ignorant. Very rarely do we see someone thinking beyond their own case and PD. This is the main reason in my opinion why everyone is suffering from backlogs. It is not the fault of USCIS or government or any one else. The reason is each one of us that thinks narrowly and has chosen to accept the problem rather than doing something about it. As IV members it is our responsibility to help make people aware and urge them to work together on something meaningful that would help the community.
Thanks for taking this initiative. Good luck. Let us know whenever you need help. Others that are interested should express interest on the thread and join the group.
