i believe that whatever the above stories convey it does not apply to skilled workers......life in india/china has got better only in the last 5-7 years....otherwise i have seen above average people in india retire with barely enough to live a good life.
if a skilled worker spends 6-7 years in usa with good financial planning he can easily retire, unless one has really started living the dream(big car....big house...all the latest gadgets....yearly india trip...etc..)
i do agree that this story can be related to a non-skilled worker from any country....(even below average americans have nothing except for social security when they retire....)
techy2468 I hope you are kidding & r not serious :) . If you are then u need to meet someone (ofcourse skilled professional) who came 6 /7 yrs ago & ask his opinion on retirement or check out where he stands.
You did not mention any figures (would love to see them from you as well as others reading this thread ) so not sure what you consider to be good savings/financial planning for retirement ?
According to you all those who came in 1999/2000 have enough savings & can start thinking of retirement now.
Do you all guys agree to this or is it only me who is still poor :D ?
Here are some approximate figures, which i hope go for most of the skilled professionals
Assume billing rate: $90K - $100K per year
Consulting Company cut $ 30K - 40K per year
Let's say average salary is: $60K ( i know many professionals r working for even less but let's include some little rich guys too :) )
Now 60K means $5K salary per month
After Family Health Insurance (considering married) & taxes salary in hand is $3500 to $4000
Let's take $4000 in hand
Now expenses :-
House rent : $850
Car Insurance : $150
Car Loan payment : $250 (assuming used Toyota/Honda for 8K - 12K, No big dreams :) or rich lifestyle )
House Utilities bill : $150 (like water, electricity etc)
Cable/Internet/phone : $75 ( No HBO or special channels - No big dreams :) )
Grocery : $500
Eating out once a week : $125
Lunch out : $0 ( ask your wife to give u lunch :D - No big dreams)
Misc $300
Total monthly expenses $2400
(living an average middlecalss lifestyle)
Savings per month 4000 - 2400 = $1600
Now in 6 - 7 yrs (assuming the person worked like a "Donkey" :D with not a single vacation , no trips to india)
12months X 6/7yrs X 1600savings = $ 115,200/ $134,400 (Total Savings)
Do you really think this is sufficient to buy a house & lead a retired life either here or in india ???? or maybe i hv started thinking big :D
(By the way even after 6 yrs i don't hv anything close to above figure -maybe because i did't live/work like a donkey)

Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

If you are not on H1 there is no reason to inform the USCIS. Make sure that they are not including your I-140 receipt number or A#.
Actually informing that you do not have a job is sufficent to revoke your I-140.
Then how come people are saying there wont be any impact if you lose your job in EAD

I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.
Thanks for sharing. I don't think AC21 is very debatable as I have seen ppl used AC21 and currently holding GC without any unwanted issues.
BTW When did you assigned your case to him? is it very recently?

Call USCIS and get your reciept number. Simple as that.
Got the receipt numbers already, was worried about the physical receipt notice.

And Grrrrr why only for the benefit of "others"? And I thot we were "friends"..

I received RFE on my 140 on nov 15th. I came to know about this when i checked the status online. It says on Nov 15th we mailed you a notice requesting further evidence . I-140 Receipt date is dec 11 2006. I do not yet know what the RFE is about. How many days does it take for the RFE to arrive normally ??

same story for me, i just moved to different unit in the same apartment. everything remains the same. Same city, same zip code, same employer.. Somehow i believe address change triggered the RFE. Probably the change in the file pushed my file in FIFO and someone looked into it and gave a RFE. Will have to wait till i get the actual letter.
u r kidding right...u got EVL RFE for an apartment change in the same apt complex? or is it just asking you to update the address verification form. Cos, I just now responded to EVL RFE and am planning to change apt inside the same unit. I cannot afford another lump payment to the freakin lawyer one more time..this is just ridiculous..

We are in exact same scenario, but was thinking that H4 holder has to enter using AP to continue to use EAD after "vacation" . So is it like, Use H4 for travel and EAD to work, instead of , Use AP for travel and EAD to work? This will be of great help to many people who are scared to use AP or not want to face the extra half hour at immigration counters.
Exactly, that's the reason I posted my questions. I am content to know that my questions have answered many concerns of others.

I met an Indian who got his green card in year2003. Still he attended to give moral support to IV. Hats off to all those guys who made it to the rally even after getting there GC's. Hopefully those people who are still stuck in the GC mess realize the importance to actively participate in the events organized by IV.

I have a Ph.D and 2 M.Sc in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. I got my H1-B and I also have been employed for 3 months now. My company policy required 3 years before sponsoring me. I do not want to wait that long to start applying. How can I tell if I am qualified for EB-2 with National interest waiver? Is that the only way for me to get GC?
I also want to mention that I have 5 proceedings papers but not journals. I also do not have any citations for my proceedings papers.
Please advice me what is the best senario for me and if I have any chance to apply for EB-2 with NIV.
Thank you
NIW is tricky. As you have PhD, you can apply yourself (w/o sponser) in EB1 Researcher catagory, if you do that kind of job.

There are two different things. (i) Intention to commit immigration fraud by mis-representing facts; (ii) Intention to immigrate.
By returning from the US after your trip, you have proved (ii) to be false (i.e., you did not have intention to immigrate at least at that time). However, that evidence does not prove (i) to be false.
Yes, it is a requirement for issuing F-1.
Good question, and I do not know the answer. What you say may be true. Please consult a qualified attorney (or ask your brother to consult one).
Yes. The IO should have access to all prior and pending immigration related activities associated with you.
It should not affect your I-130, but again, I am not a lawyer and you seem to need reliable answers (i.e., you need to consult a lawyer).
Yes, H1-B is dual-intent. I.e., you do not need to prove non-immigration intent for getting an H1-B stamp.
I am not familiar about I-130 that much. If I-130 is similar to I-140, then it is okay to leave US while it is pending. However, if you file I-485, then you must have Advanced Parole before leaving US. Again, a question for a lawyer.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! I really appreciate your time and patience. One more question. Will it be "ok" in the eyes of USCIS if I don't go back home after my education process is over but apply for H1B visa instead?

For the pessimists among us who doubt the utility of what we can achieve, I have compiled the following FAQs:
1/ Isnt it very unlikely that a senator or congressman will listen to us or care about our agenda?
It is extremely likely -almost guaranteed- that US lawmakers will listen to us and incorporate our amendments, as long as they are reasonable, fair and not inimical to US interests (which our suggestions most certainly fit with). The system here works very differently than what several of us may be used to in our own home countries, where it might be near impossible to get things through to lawmakers without �connections�. Several of those here who witnessed the S1932 campaign in December were surprised at how easily accessible the lawmakers and their staff were, and how receptive they were to our requests and suggestions. We have to make sure that we present our arguments intelligently, and show them how closely they are linked to long term US interests.

Please consult with an immigration attorney, to make sure your stay is legal. if your i-94 expired, unless you get the revised I-94 with the valid dates, your stay is illegal. If it is more than 180 days, then you are in deep trouble. Consult with an attorney and prepare to leave.....
180 days is the limit you can stay legal even after your H1-B expires provided you have applied in time for the extension and ofcourse if your extension is not rejected.

I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
This is interesting, and if the DV system is taken out, it will help many in the eb category. This is good, hopefully it will come to a vote.

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
After you file 485 you are in AOS so you can file for AP and use that to get back into US. Once in AOS it doesn't matter if your H1B expired or I94 is expired as you will be in status. However to work you will need EAD.
To enter reenter US you should have a H1B visa stamp which is valid or have an AP. If you use your AP you will have to use EAD to continue working. Another option is to get a new H1B stamp based on your current H1B petition which is valid till april 2008.
