I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
It is a very sad story.
I think Karthik Rajaram, the unemployed financial advisor became insane because of financial pressure and internal family problem and did that shameful act.
It is hard to imagine two people aged 45 and 39 with three kids aged 19,12 and 7 can't survive in US - they mush have Citizenship or GC. This sad episode defenetly does not earn Indians a good name. They could have looked out and seen how so many illegal immigrants are surviving. I have heard several times that when God shuts one door, he opens another. Is it in films and story books only? I think, they have not filed for bankrupcy protection yet.
May God bless their soul peace.

Useful info from Murthy.com
If anyone faces similar situation they should try to withdraw to avoid 5 year ban
The Murthy Law Firm has received several reports and learned of instances in which H1B employees were sent back home to India after the Christmas / New Year holiday from various airports, particularly Newark, NJ, and JFK in New York, NY. We at the Murthy Law Firm will be contacting both AILA national and the CBP office in Newark and New York. Our effort is to gain clarification and determine the basis for sending H1B employees back to India (or other home countries), and, if this is due to an error of judgment or law, we will seek a reversal of this recent, alarming trend. In addition, a related January 8, 2010 memorandum from the USCIS analyzes the definition of "employer" and "employee" particularly for H1B employees working at third-party client sites. While these two actions may not be related, both demonstrate the current level of government scrutiny of the H1B program. Hence, each employer and employee should operate by strictly following the H1B program requirements.
�MurthyDotCom
We will need to review the events and the USCIS's evolving definitions of relevant laws to determine short, intermediate, as well as long-term lawful solutions to deal with this issue. If an H1B employee accepts expedited removal / deportation (with the government paying the cost of the airline ticket) from the CBP officer, removal may result in a minimum 5-year bar on reentering the United States. If an H1B employee indicates to the CBP officer at the airport that s/he is requesting a withdrawal to enter the United States (and return home on the next flight at one's own expense), s/he is able to apply for a new H1B visa stamp either with the same or a new H1B employer and reenter the U.S. within a few days / weeks.
�MurthyDotCom
We at the Murthy Law Firm will continue to share useful information that we believe will help you to plan your travel or when you change H1B employers.
Things are getting worse in 2010... I hoped it would get better...

Hmmmm! if i understand correctly 7%- 8% interest is given on FIXED deposit (of Rs 50 lakhs or more ) for 5 or more years i.e person gets money after 5 years. How will the person meet expenses for first 5 years ?
This also means he can never buy a house ? I guess how many families would never want to own a house ?

What happens if you get laid off by your employer right after you get the green card? That's different than voluntarily leaving your employer, isn't it?

I have been through this situation and now work for consulting company. Actually I got layed off without notice in 6th year of my h1b with Labor pending in backlog. I had no resources, tools and no one gave me any consultations, everyone told me "go find another job". In 20 days I found myself a 6 month contract assignment and had a consulting company transfer my h1b and they also applied for my 7th year extension based on pending labor from my layed off company. I went for stamping at Chennai and was through, applied for GC through EB2 PERM and got my 140 approved also and now I just got used to consulting and this is my 3rd contract position with the same company and I earn 50% more than what I was earning 5 years on my fulltime job. Now that I got used to consulting, I would want to think twice if I have to get a fulltime job offer on h1b. Everything is so customozable in a good consulting company , like moving charges, allowances, expenses, traavel expenses, can be worked out in good faith.
In general, there is an unofficial grace period of atleast a month, stretchable to 2 months based on case to case and worst comes, if a job hunt exceeds 2 months, then your new job, they may give you a h1b approval but you have to get it stamped immediately as they wont attach an i 94 with it, I have seen this happen to people.
In your case, as you already have an approved 140, you have to smartly get copies of all your documents and look for a genuine consulting company, get letterheads and keep contacts with some good friends and have them give you an experience letter and move on. You can get 3 years transfer and also retain your PD. If you qualify for eb2 in new company, then you can port eb3 PD while you take advantage of eb2 movement.
Good luck

Even though i didn't get my GC yet this info is helpful.;)
PD : 2005 Oct. I-485 Still pending :confused:
Hi guys,
...
followup post:
I think there is a mix up here between two things:
180 day clock does start on the first day after filing 485, but that is for the purpose of AC21. Once you use AC21, then the next employer assumes the role of "your future permanent employer" and you should have "intent to permanently work for that(new, not the sponsoring) employer" AT the time of GC approval.
If you use change the employers 7 times using AC21 before your GC gets approved; you should have "intent to work permanently for the latest employer".
You are not bonded slaves. The only issue is that the "burden of proof" of proving the intent to work for such and such employer is on the GC beneficiary and not on USCIS. So in future, if USCIS questions (or CBP questions), it is YOU who has to prove that intent.
One scenario where you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT: if you never worked for the sponsoring employer.
One scenario where you WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING IT: if you worked with sponsoring (or latest AC21) employer after GC approval for some duration (60 days?? 90 days?? 6 months?? 1 year??)...no law on this.
This is the whole purpose of Labor Certification process and I140. And it applies to the categories of EB2 (except NIW) and EB3--any category that requires LC.
This is from my discussion in following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=20403
I just put it here so that everyone would not have to try the link and may be this information is useful to someone.
Good Luck.

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?

how is it determined how long the EAD will be renewed for? If there are no fees associated with filing the renewal, then it probably doesn't matter.
Its the courtesy of USCIS and highlighting of our problems by IV made USCIS to issue cards for 2 years... there is no requirement that it should be as such... in general any EAD unless its L* is generally issued for 1 year with exception of C09-employment category where they are issued in looking at Priority date [ofcourse there are other exceptions like asylum... etc] if they dont get biometrics from their repository at the time of printing , they waive some of the features like fingerprint, signature etc.

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco

Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
Thnks for your trend analysis, I believe you are correct.

I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

You mean to say CIR will be introduced to the immigration or judiciary senate committee or introduce directly to the senate. If it is introduced directly to the senate floor that will save a lot of time, on the flip side it will become difficult to add or change provisions if it is directly introduced to the senate bypassing the senate judiciary and immigration committee
I called Senator Ed Kennedy's office and was told that CIR is likely to be introduced in early March something like first week. They of course told me that there are no guarantees, but more a reasonable probability.
