The pattern of RFE's on AP's are from those cases applied at NSC >> CSC issued Receipts/EAD/AP >> 485 back to NSC.
StuckInRetro - I believe you may be correct. My scenario fits into the case you have mentioned. May be you can add condition stating people who made lot of trips in and out of US. I have made close to 9 - 10 trips...

You are exactly right. Both H1 and L1 are dual intent visa so why would one be considered resident while the other one non-resident? I don't see how L1 can fulfil the requirement while H1s can't.
I was wondering how L1 can be allowed instate tuition while H1-B's have to pay out of state according to the Arizona list. What exactly is the fundamental difference between the 2 which results in L1's fulfilling the requirements?

Yes. my I-140 is Approved and 180 days has passed. How much time will i have to transfer H1B without loosing H1B status? Thanks for your response.
For H1B: use your vacation time to be associated with your current employer for as long as possible, try pay without leave if possible. No hard and fast rule how much gap is allowed. In principle, there can be no gap but lawyers claim 10days, 2weeks is okay. USCIS asks for recent pay stubs to check for gaps.
You are in much better shape with >180 days in AOS. Can work in EAD if needed.
Don't worry.

People do not buy house to sell it. They buy it so that they can live for a long time. And when you do not know how long you are going to stay in this country(because of immigration issues) then why would they buy. There is something called closing cost, who will pay them if you have to sell?
Yes Sir, very true: "People do not buy house to sell it". I am not suggesting that you buy a house and sell it, I am suggesting that in case you plan on buying the house .. don't get intimidated by the bad immigration experience of few folks. My point is that in worst case scenario, if you have to go back to India (which is less than 1% chance), there are ways to deal with house situation.

People do not agree and have different ideas - sometimes to the point of personal hurt! - this is natural. They have different interests and even when they have shared goals, sometimes their paths to those shared goals may diverge - this is natural, too. Yes, differences, discussion and divergence can lead to a final separation and then two or mroe new groups are born - and it can happen naturally and it does not have to be rushed or forced through censorship and persecution. But sometimes debates and differences actually help the whole group to stay together and find a better path or a better solution - in the heat of the discussion and in the fight of the dualling arguments a new idea, approach or solution is born. I do think that a lot of the most contentious discussions on this forum are actually the most important and interesting ones because those are the oens that will cut to the heart of the problem and reveal the real depths of the issues. Suppression of diverging opinions is the hallmark of dictatorships.

Wake up people .... E-filing is better than paper filing !!!
Why me and some other Desis still do not e-file - cause, most likely our company lawyers takes care of it. And it works just as well. We get to do the all important task of signing the papers. :D
Good point though... seriously consider e-filing next time. With the retrogressed dates and no CIR in sight, most of us Desis will get ample opportunity to test out newer technologies by the time we get our GCs. :D
Everyone, have a great long weekend!

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.
#1 - he would not be able open the account here without SSN/EIN and need to pay the tax here if register his company here. Corporate tax rate is 35-39%
he is better off with 4%

Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

I have made a contribution of 300 and another $20 re-curring monthly contribution since jan 07. Now you get my point, the spreadsheet would help u get that information without asking me for it.
To start off with inspiring 'others', maybe you should note in your signature IF you have made a recurring donation, as a lot of other members have done.
I am sure that should work with people who can get 'inspired'. I dont think we need to worry about the others, since they will not contribute anyways.

I am also in similar situation although no RFE yet. I have submitted a non-availability of birth certificate letter and affadivit of parents. I have the following questions
(1) Do we get the letter from the muncipal office from the place of birth or we can get from the muncipal office that we are presently residing. (birth was in UP , residing in TN) I believe the non-availibility certificate has to be from the jurisdiction of the birth and not current residence
(2)What is the letter for , is it for birth certificate or for non availability of birth certificate. If you were born before a certain year (not sure about the exact year) there is a great chance that your birth was not registered. That is why you have to ask the local authority to search the records and give you a letter saying that such and such person's birth was not registered and no records exist
(3) Is there any body who has gotten a letter post a copy. (after removing personal details.)
Hope this helps. Again most of what I mentioned is information gathered from such postings here and there.

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks
1. You can walk to your local SSN office and ask them about the lockdown on SSN.
Ideally if you are near 40 quarters of SSN contribution I will stay here few quarters longer to make it to 40 quarters. This way even if you are in India you will get some money when you retire ( few 100 dollars are not bad). ( I know about SSN and its problems but still there will be something there)
2. There is nothing in 401K laws that says you can withdraw the money before you turn 59.5, but you can try to establish a case of hardship and see. The predefined cases are here
401khelpcenter.com - Hardship Withdrawals Give Access to Your 401k Savings, But at a Cost (http://www.401khelpcenter.com/401k_education/hardship_withdrawal_article.html)
2.1 The Penalty is not 40% it is only 10%, (usually the way it goes in 30% tax + 10% penalty gives a total of 40% loss). But as someone suggested you can withdraw it in phases and not pay the taxes, in that case you will only pay the 10% penalty. I will consult a tax attorney to get more information on this.
also r2i websites are great help.
Good Luck

This process is somewhat new. Random selection of application for a face to face interview. Be normal but prepare for it. Have all documents ready before the interview and if your company can provide you with a lawyer have the lawyer go with you.
My case is EB2 PD Nov 06 and 485 filed on Jul 2 2007. I-140 already approved. I went it for interview and was asked several routine questions. I was told by Immigration officer that my case is approvable but will have to wait for Visa #.
This is actually a good step for your case processing. After this usually they just wait for visa# to approve the case and feel free to ask question to USCIS officer at the end of interview, they are nice.
I have a post somewhere on IV where you can find the list of the questions asked.......hope this helps....!!!

If you move while this case is pending, call customer service.

This is not similar to the Op's case. Your case was transferred to the texas processing center because that center processes all cases from the north east or the eastern state, the op's case was transferred to a local uscis office,
