I just came back from india. Flew via Frankfrut (Lufthansa). Lufthansa was bad. Frankfrut was dirty, no customer service, service Reps are rude. Next time I will avoid Frankfrut. AND I will not pay a dime for transit visa. period.
American airlines was trying to stop me boarding the plane as the CSR was not aware that if someone has AP they would not need transit visa in Frankfrut. I had to fight and make them call Frankfrut to confirm.
Might not be pertinent but American Airlines food was horrible and tasteless. They were running out of food.

i ave been advocating that each section must be moderated... and ppl with incomplete info must not have access to
a.) secure sectiono of the forum.
b.) volunteer moderators must have limited access..like deleting/disabling profiles or posts..
i see too many bots and worms on this posts...
act now..else RIP for ever..;)
IMO, there could be unfortunate situations for anybody which may seem to be like one will go out-of-status. Best option is go to a good attorney. It is not cheap option but certainly it is best way to get things answered professionally within a specific time period. It will also prevent your case to be wide open on forums for any agency or anti-s to target you. You will also be protected by attorney client confidentiality agreements.
I saw some questions like "I am not working on H1B though I have visa. Or things like "I am not paid on bench. Is that alright". Does it need anybody to confirm that you could be out of status? Quite naive to ask that on forum.
Best option, do not violate any law intentionally. When we take so much care by not even jay-walking, we should be super careful about the immigration laws and statuses.

Missed the most important show stopper, FOR ME. All my current Nikkor primes are no good for this babe. I have to buy the three latest and greatest 2.8 D AF-S ED IF (???) big zoom lenses. With the 14n, the total is $10,000, no change, not even a penny. WOW!!!

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to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.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!

Optimist, thanks for the clarification. Do you get a 3 year extention if?
a) I140 is aproved
b) I140 filed but pending
Thx
not true. Irrespective of whether your 485 is filed or not, if your PD is not current, you can get a 3 year extension of your H1 if your I-140 is filed.
Saying this based on personal experience, and this has also been clarified by USCIS in its FAQ. Your attorney needs to mention that and ask for 3 years when the extension request is made. If they request one, they'll get one.

It could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. For me - it was around 2.5 weeks from the time the status changed to "we received your response....". Plus with the Thanksgiving break - it might take a bit longer. The best thing to do here is just not to worry about it and just wait...since its no longer in your hands.
Good luck...

If your cousin's company is based in India and has no US subsidary or legal relation with any US-based company, the money is TAX FREE. If they open a US account, they would have legal relation to the US system and therefore have to pay income tax on it.
If they use your account, you will get a 1099 from their client and therefore will show as your earnings and tax will be based on the bracket you fall in (after you add the 1099 earnings). If you are on a work visa (like H1B), this is illegal except for interest earned (I-1099) or stocks/dividents. Other 1099s might affect your immigration process.
Client can use Remit2India, PayPal (charges fees), Creditcards (charges fees) OR just use their company bank (usually free if paid in US dollars).
Thing to keep in mind is: fees, foreign transaction fees, conversion fees are all different from US taxes.
Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.

If you are in Jersey.. Act smart... All of these doctors are booked for this week..
Does anyone know of any health centers in Jersey which do vaccinations for cheap or free.. I am sure there must be some public hospitals where you can walk in and just get the vaccinations - saying they are for safety.
I have heard that vaccinations are free in New York City Public Health Center.. Can anyone confirm that?

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.

The fact that the National Governors Association has also endorsed "Comprehensive" reform (besides the RNC last month) strengthens the case..
What is more important for us is that they also endorsed funding for the EB immigration system. See the highlighted portion below...
Huntsman pushing immigration reform
Governors meeting: He and Arizona's chief want colleagues to send a resolution to Congress
By Thomas Burr
The Salt Lake Tribune
http://sltrib.com/utah/ci_3554083
WASHINGTON - Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. plans to ask his Western colleagues today to vote on a resolution asking Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would oppose blanket amnesty but support a guest worker program.
Huntsman, a Republican who is proposing the resolution with Arizona's Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano at a meeting of the Western Governor's Association, is calling for legislation to "protect and preserve the safety and interests" of the United States while also recognizing the need for "Western industries to have a stable and legal supply of workers," according to a release provided in advance of the meeting.
"Our states are on the front lines of a tidal wave of illegal immigration," Huntsman says in the release. "The debate in Washington has been polarizing and unhealthy, and we are asking the administration and Congress to adopt this bipartisan framework and recommendations agreed to by the Western Governors' Association."
Immigration has been one of the top issues of the National Governors Association as state leaders huddle in Washington.
While Congress has passed one immigration bill, there have been calls for more stringent and more comprehensive legislation from several sides of the immigration debate.
And increasingly, states are leading the charge, with Arizona and New Mexico both declaring states of emergency because of the influx of illegal immigrants.
"Governors feel they have to get into this debate because of the lack of action on the federal level in the first place," says Kirk Jowers, director of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics, "and this issue so impacts the governors at the state level that they've decided they need to be a catalyst for this reform."
The proposal by Huntsman and Napolitano also calls for the U.S. leaders to work with Mexican and Latin American governments to "generate economic growth, improve the standard of living and promote ownership" in those countries as a way to stem the tide of immigration to the United States. Immigration was among the topics President Bush touched on during a Monday morning meeting with governors - possibly in anticipation of today's policy proposal, Huntsman said.
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano are asking Western governors to:
* Oppose blanket amnesty to all undocumented workers and support "appropriate sanctions" for those breaking the law.
* Urge Congress to avoid creating incentives for more illegal immigration by "creating unnecessary hurdles and lengthy delays" for those wishing to immigrate legally.
* Call for full funding for law enforcement and security along the southern U.S. border, enforcement using "cutting-edge" technology, better coordination with law enforcement agents and construction of a federal correctional facility to house illegal immigrants convicted in state courts as well as reimbursement to states for incarcerating illegal immigrants.
* Request full funding for processing employment-based visas; eliminating visa-request backlogs and increasing the number of visas to meet U.S. industry needs, especially in high-tech, bio-tech and seasonal-based industries.
* Establish a guest worker program that will include background checks to help supply workers where there are shortages.
* Enforce sanctions against employers for hiring illegal immigrants along with a system for employers to verify citizenship and worker status.

it's a two step process to get the birth certificate if your birth was not registered.
1) Apply for a birth certificate at the registrar office and the request will be verified.
This process will take little more time
2) After the verification is completed, the registrar office will issue something stating that the birth was not registered
3) Submit an affidavit stating that you are born at home, with couple of witness signs and hence the birth was not registered at the time of your birth.
4) After submitting the affidavits, the registrar office will issue birth certificate and will register the birth.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Salauddin

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)!
