HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

Every one are highly educated and highly skilled and there is always needs to be difference compared to other forums. Actually after Moderators started monitoring messages one person is putting abusive languages in comment section of the Reputation of many posts as those are unnoticed unless the person complained. I welcome red or green dots in reputation but abusive words in the comment section are not acceptable to me.
It may not be possible to micromanage everything. But moderators are taking prompt action if anyone reports abusive languages.
in that case it ...we should have a wall of shame section & tag members...;)
but the point is how much of micromanagement can u do on a "free" forum!
anyway..
HateIV was an extreme case..

Based on what you believe that "BC has a much higher standard of living than Boston?". I hope that is not one of those silly annual surveys in which they interview low income and beggars on the streets and rate mainly based on health care and welfare for them.
Regarding raising kids, if you believe that doing that around prostitutes, lesbians and drugs is a good thing, so go ahead and live in BC.
Read the below for some truth about the Socialist Canada. I lived there and I know how it is.

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.
This happened with me too yesterday and I wondered why it happened. I did get an alert message asking for this 'Trojan Horse ' to be put in vault'. It happened exactly while I opened this link and went to this site. Someone should send email to the owner of this blog to alert him.
My computer crashed several times after that and I had to reinstall OS to get rid of this virus. I am now in the process of installing all softwares again. All my strong anti-virus defense systems failed to stop this virus.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!
I looked into the PDF's - seems like PhD does not have to be from US universities (can be from anywhere within 3 years of applying for greencard).
Of course it would have helped more if masters is also included but this is at least a start - hopefully more provisions might be added as it goes for debate.

If you are an immigrant what�s your status...Tell us more about you.
If not, what�s the purpose of you are visiting IV. Just teach about the scam?
The ICE, USCIS and DOL are there and very much capable to take care these scams. So if you have any information about the fraud...contact those authorities. We don�t have anything to do with that. Otherwise please get lost.
I can see how ignorant you are, I can use similar words.
Either you are really an uneducated fellow or not really get educated.
I dont have to file any type of application to be on this forums,
There could be tons of reasons why I am on this forums, ...Parents visitor visa, .. Brothers H1 , .. friends immigrants status, ...for god sake there are tons of issues.
I can say one thing .. there are few fellows around here .. looks like they are invaded this Immirationvoice.org forums and they are not allowing any new users to come or to post any topics which they dont like. What's wrong in my posting. I just browsed some topics .. they are horrible horrible topics out there.
Do a favor, If you want to help this forums never post such type of comments and get educated first and think positively.

Noone is forcing them to be ehre - you are saying. And I am saying: nobody should be forcing them out, either. They are ehre because they want to be here and because they want to discuss something with other people who are here - administrative problems or philosohpical issues.
'You should trust the organization in what they do' - you are saying. The organization should not be perceived as an abstract, 'know-it-all' deity that we, tiny humans have to blidnly follow. The organization is us collectively and we should not be following it, but leading it or at least taking it somewhere. Sometimes the road is straight and goes forward, sometimes there seem to be multiple roads that need exploring which may or may not coverge again. Sometimes the journey is not continuous and you need to stop, consult a map or a compass and realing yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. There should never be blind trust because that will sooner or later drive us all down the cliffs.
'If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person' - that is exactly what we are doing. Throwing around ideas and discussing them amongst ourselves. Sometimes the discussion is easy and disciplined and constructive and sometimes it is hard and confrontational and destructive. I think that if it is too confrontational or too destrcutive that indicates that not all is well within the group - I would refrain from calling it an organization just yet - and the ideas are not mature or ready yet and/or the group is not really cohesive and it is really not one group. Both of which are problems that need to be addressed and dealt with. By stifling discussion and censoring out ideas that you do not like, you are doing a disservice to the entire group because the group has to discover what is the cause of the destructive confrontation otherwise it cannot successfully function and fulfill its objectives.
For those who dont agree with what IV is doing, no one's forcing them to follow what IV does and certainly no ones forcing them to be here, but if you are here then you should at least trust the organization in what they do.
If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person or call them... i m sure they will be glad to take it up if the idea benefits everyone and not just me or you... breaking off driving folks in different direction is not the solution, it will snow ball into a big problem.

If I were you, I would not have gone with the repeat of X-ray test unless it was absolutely necessary. X-ray are very harmful to the human cells and tissues. It was a ( Probably honest) mistake by the doctor who was going to give the correct report...and you forced him to take the x-ray again!! hmmmmm....I have nothing more to say.
I did not force.
The RFE clearly stated that "Civil Surgeon Should also attached a XRAY report".
It did not say this, which I wish it did, that "if tb test shows that there are signs of tb, then the civil surgeon should administer a xray and attach the xray report".
The language in the RFE caused my lawyer to say that, to have no issues, its always best to follow the RFE language code exactly, even if did not make sense. One should always give more data in the RFE response than needed.
Let me tell you one thing, the RFE language/sentence completely contradicts the rules written on the new i693 form or the document which has been created for civil surgeons on how to do medical tests for immigration. In those documents it clearly says that take an xray IF required, ie, if the tab patch grows beyond certain millimeter etc...But since the RFE clearly asked for it, I had no choice but to force the civil surgeon.
One writes the rules and others misinterpret it because the language is ambiguous. Its better to be safe than sorry. USCIS has hired new people to do adjudication. None of them are experienced. I dont want them to generate another RFE or deny.

While it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test, they have to include their world-wide income in the tax return.
IRS don't have time to chase, if world-wide income of parents are not reported. For that matter, many people get away without their own world-wide income. It may be risky, there was news in Indian News Papers, that now IRS has started tracking investments done in India.
But anyways, whatever I know, it is possible to claim parents on B2 Visa as dependent, after they pass presence test. They can get ITIN.
===
Another example a professor visiting in USA, when gets cash award, to claim the award (s)he has to get ITIN and gets taxed at source, even stay is for days or weeks. If his/her country has tax treaty, (s) he can recover takes paid in USA.

He said that entering on h1 while I have a pending 485 does not affect the 485 in anyway.
He advised that I enter on h1 even if I have the AP.
you can enter on H1. There is no issue with it.

What do you mean? I thought we can only get it stamped outside US.
That is what my attorney kind of said as well. The thing is there is really no
"start date" on the visa stamp so clubbing the I797's is effectively the same
as honoring the second I797 (as far as the date on the I797 is concerned).
My only concern in that case if the officer at the port of entry has any issues because of the two I797's.
Are you planning to get it stamped when you are outside US?
I just talked to my attorney and he says that the US Embassy will club both the 797 dates and give you a combined visa. I still would like to confirm it with other sources as it sounds too good to be true.

I visited my local USCIS office and the officer told me that they don't do I-94 updates and asked me to contact the CBP office. When I called them up to get an appointment, I got transferred to a lady who asked me the details. After listening to my case she said its perfectly okay and asked me to attach the new I-94 from the 797 to the passport. Is this true?
I am trying to get hold my lawyer but in vain. Please help!!!
The next time you enter the country the INS officer will stamp the new date of the I-94 to the passport.
You can also attach the new I-94 and keep the old one too.
Hope this helps!
