Pappu, I sent you a PM
Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(

Tear up your passports which any way does not have any pages left with all the yearly renewals and flush them down the toilet. Join the line for Z visas. Believe me that would give you more options, no problems while traveling, no tie up with your employer, no H1B's, no LC, No 140, no 485, no AC21, no advance parole paper work. You will be a free bird in this great nation. I thought that it was only in African and Asian countries that you beak the law and get away with it but here the lawmakers are encouraging the LEGAL's tax paying law abiding to do that. And most of the time these individuals are best and brightest in their fields.

What if your state does not have a state chapter?
If you wish the entire immigrationvoice community to assist then some sharing of updates will be necessary outside of these.
What he said!
it is ok to contact any of the leaders for the update
you can link with a neighboring chapter, right now this is an action item being coordinated by the chapters so they have the info.

Buddy, what were you doing for 40 days after your got terminated? If you knew it was coming you should have made efforts to transfer H1 or right after. If you transfer H1, then obviously INS will look for pay stubs etc from the last sponsoring co. Since you mentioned you never actually worked for them (if I understand this right) then you are in trouble. You can use EAD but you lose your H1 status. If you want to get back to H1 then you are back in the lottery mess to qualify for one. Obviously you need to decide what is important to you at this point. Marriage or your job/GC. Good luck.
I was in India and didn't know about it. As soon as I came to know I was under the impression it was easier to switch back and forth between EAD and H1 except that I may have to go to the consulate for visa.

Permanent address

(b) In County of domicile

I am clear with In India but confused with In County of domicile
Can some one please explain what it is?? Is it country instead of county?
Looks like a spelling mistake.
as per http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_country_of_domicile_means

I had sent an email to rags months before about this friend. He decided to become an expat and move to India while his GC still languishes in the labor stage. He is an engineering manager who works for one of the big oil service companies (Think of word association with the Vice President). He would have been invaluable to this country as the country tries to become more self-reliant in the energy sector. Instead, he now lives in India and services oil wells in Russia. How is that for loss of competitiveness (loss of his service as well as his tax money to other countries)!

my employment is terminated a month ago. I still need to file h1 transfer to the GC sponser. I am single
I am told that H1 can be transferred only with in 10 days-20 days or so. which means that it is already a month. so in case if I dont get the h1 or if I have an issue in the H1 transfer, is that the end of my being H1.
If I were to be on H1 again is it going to come under the cap along with those new H1 filers? I still have one and half years to complete 6 years.
I have a fall back to EAD though based an approved 140 and 180 days past 485.
But how do I get the spouse then???
Let me be clear. my H1 is with a different employer than the future GC sponsor. I never worked for the GC sponsor and that is the reason wanting to get the H1 transferred to sponsoring company. As said I 140 approved and I 485 passed 180days.
I was under the impression that you can switch over to H1 from EAD easily.
if there is a gap of 40days will it be ok to file H1 transfer? assuming that I get the H1 approved. Will this gap any issue in 485 adjudication?

Stay in the US
I went through similar circumstances and finally I found that US was the better choice
Thanks gcpool for your reply. My question though is that is it pretty much guaranteed that the green card will come through after the 140 clears? I ask because just today the USCIS website updated to say that they sent out a RFE for our 140.
The risk/reward matrix for my situation is as follows:
Stay in USA/green card comes = most assurance of good job and pay.
Go to Canada/green card denied= harder to find job and less pay, but at least not deported.
Go to Canada/green card comes = I'll survive, but there's the possibility that I'll be kicking myself for a long time.
Stay in USA/green card denied = I'll probably jump off a building. :D
So you see it pretty much all depends on how much assurance there is of getting the green card after 140 clears.

I'm glad I found this post. I own a D70 as of last September and I too was wondering if perhaps I was (a) going completely crazy or (b) just plain sucked and should give up. Don't get me wrong, I still classify myself as a newbie but I DO know what focus is, how to get it and what it should look like and I've thought on numerous occasions while veiwing a soft image "what the hell, I was dead on with this one".
I have to yet to upgrade my firmware, does this fix the problem (providing it isn't me) or do I still have to take the camera in for repair?
Thanks everyone for the info.

This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! Could you please rephrase your first part of the answer "This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements."? It's a bit confusing.
You're saying I need to *prove* that I have no intention for immigrating to US. Do you mean that they must clearly see that I have no intention to stay in the US after I finish college? The I-130 form is pending so it's obvious I have such intentions. However, the process takes a very long time. Do you think that if I prove that I plan to go back home after school and then wait for the process in my home country I'll be issued a visa? Do they have information regarding the "I-130" process in their database? I mean there is a chance they don't even ask about it. Well, last time we applied they didn't.
Also, do you think that my previous false response to the application form question could in some way affect my I-130 process? I mean I've returned back so in my understanding it shouldn't be a problem. Please explain.
If I get lucky and get a visa issued. What happens next? Is it easy to switch to a working "H1B" visa from "F-1" visa and maintain this status until the end of the "I-130" process? I mean switching to "H1B" after I finish college. Is it ok to leave the country while on "H1B" status while "I-130" pending? Please comment. Thank you.

You guys really have to give a deep thought before you suggest names that contain the word slave....
The argument goes like this : America is a great country. We do not want slavery. Slave labor would undercut citizen salaries. Slave labor should be abolished..Hey..These people call themselves slaves...Let's abolish H1B program...H1b must be abolished...
Now see where the argument ended up...Think completely what you are getting into...

Some scenarios to consider
1. If 140 is approved and its been 6 months since date of 485 application and your company who sponsored is not revoking 140, then ability to pay might not matter and you don't care since you can use AC21
2. If 140 is approved and it has not been 6 months since 485 application date and you are on good terms with and your employer is not going to revoke your 140 , take an unpaid vacation to fill the 6 months gap if you can, then you are still safe to use AC21.
3. If your 140 is not approved but you have passed the 180 days litmus test and you use AC21 to move to another employer then the ability to pay might come in to picture if any RFE is done by USCIS.
4. If 140 is not approved and you have not passed 180 days its a variation of the 2nd case and if you can pull it off you can use AC21 and work elsewhere later.
there might be other scenarios but consider each of them carefully before making the decision. While it might seem a simple decision having come so far in your journey you don't want to make as wrong decision only to rue it.
- good luck
Hello Krishnam
I have a I-485 pending, and there is a chance I may be laid off after 180 days. Would I have to have another similar job offer at hand, or can I still continue looking for a job after 180 days of I-485 till I find one ?
Thank you for your help.

Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
Here are my excuses to not to get job.
1.New Father (I was little confused about how every thing goes. Thank god no set backs here)
2.Functions(I was occupied to celebrate his 21st day).
3.Taking care of new born( He needs to be feed once in every two hours. Mother got tired of this.)
4.Holiday season.
5.Economy.
6.I am good at supporting my situation :) .
Hopefully I will land some where by Jan Mid.
Sargon,
you are incorrect ..here and there ..there are people who have been laid off. maybe you are lucky that you are not hearing it or maybe out of the loop.
in the last 2 weeks itself, I have heard layoffs for 15 people ..so it is happening maybe slowly but surely. IT are one of the big cost savers ..most of the time, IT job is first on the block because of instant cost savings ..actually there is a different trend too (too small to notice now) ...highly paid people are being laid off and those who agree for lower salary with similar skills are being hired.

Dude the person apparently not in good mental state. People do crazy things with they are in such situation. Who knows what went wrong. May be he felt that his family would suffer without him and incorrectly thought to take them with him. He seems to be caring father until this tragic event. Please stop pointing finger and pray that god be with the families who lost them.
As much as I am saddened by the tragic event and my prayers are with the family, I still can't digest the fact that he killed all the family members. Whatever was going thru his mind, he was a coward. There was no need to take others life. I don't want to judge here, but I can talk about committing suicide which is totally wrong. He had NO RIGHT, NO EXCUSE whatsoever to take others life. Period. And I stand by my statement.
May be he felt that his family would suffer without him and incorrectly thought to take them with him.
You think this is a legit reason to take others lives? My friend I totally disagree with you. NO REASON would be compelling enough to take once life.
