Yes, I am definitely for this idea that we should petition/ask USCIS to change the rules to allow those with approved I-140 to be able to file I-485 while their PD is not yet current even if we would pay US$5,000.:rolleyes:
Yes, I was wondering the same thing.
The only plausible explanation for requiring congress' approval, that I am able to come up with, is that we bundled many requests along with the request for concurrent processing of 140/485, like additional visa numbers etc., which I think are not in the hands of USCIS.
We would need congress approval to increase visa numbers, etc. But for changing the rule to allow concurrent 140/485 processing is probably within the jurisdiction of the USCIS.

Thanks for the responses so far.
To the bro who suggested I rather stay here than go back..well I work as a consultant thro a vendor hence that is not an option (thanks to the new memo).
Given the market is so hot in India right now and here new policies are made to make our life tougher, only makes one's consideration to move back stronger.
I will call up SSN office today and check out how much more is remaining of the 40 Q for me...will try and do that.
On RONR, I will find out and post here when I have any confirmed updates - but one thing I know for sure is:
Tax year starts on april 1st in India. If one stays atleast six months starting that date, he is still considered NRI. Hence say if you deposit 40,000 USD in SBI on may 20th...and return after october 10th, you are okay. No tax in that year..but if you came back before the six month, then there is some tax that you have to pay.
NON - RESIDENT STATUS UNDER THE INCOME TAX / WEALTH TAX ACT:
Condition Status
1. He is not in India for 182 days or more during the relevant previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
(so check the next condition.)
2. He is not in India for 60 days or more during the previous year and he is not in India for 365 days or more during the 4 years prior to the previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
RESIDENT BUT NOT ORDINARILY RESIDENT (RNOR)
Condition
Status
1.
He is not a resident, as per the above provisions, for at least 9 out of 10 previous years prior to the previous year under consideration.
>>
If yes, he is RNOR
2.
His stay in India during the 7 previous year prior to the previous year under consideration should not be 730 days or more
>>
If yes, he is RNOR

I am GCBikari and I approve this message. You are saying you ran out of savings and in next paragraph you're talking about investments!! Anyway what I did was list out all minimum payments (rent/mortgage, car, utilities, groceries, gas). This gives the money needed every month in worst case. Then multiply by 6 months. Keep that amount in bank or a locker (now a days difficult to trust banks also!!). Then go for what others talk about like 401k, Roth IRA.. You will have a better start once you know how much you need per month to make a living on bare minimum.
My recommendation would be to build at least 6 months of emergency fund. Open an account with ING Direct or HSBC where they pay decent interest rate on a savigs account. Build the emergency fund first.
Once you have sufficient foundation, then I'd say start building investment foundation. If you employer has 4o1K plan, then start putting pre-tax dollars upto the maximum contribution at employer matches (generally it is 6%). If your employer doesn't have 401K plan, then open a ROTH IRA and start investing in low cost mutual funds or index funds. Vanguard is generally the best place to get low cost, no load funds. Once you max out both 4o1K and ROTH IRA, then start looking into opening a taxable individual investment account.
Hope this helps.
Disclaimer: I've all of the above I'm recommending and have followed the same plan I've given you.

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
how many days did it take for you to receive the rfe notice from the date they mailed you?? was u r s a 3 yr degree or a 4 yr degree?

Sometimes I think that rather than writing to these politicians ,we should write to USCIS.This retrogression is caused by them.They didn't wait for any bill to be passed for this retrogression.There is no use of talking to politicians,they don't care.
I know that USCIS will not care either but USCIS did it out of nowhere ,till sep2005,everything was fine for them and suddenly in oct 2005,they put us in backward direction.Now after a year and a half ,we are at the same spot,waiting for the visa bulletin and staying depressed for a day or two after seeing it.
I don't know .I am so mad at everybody.
Sorry for the ranting.
Btw,i have already sent emails to USCIS and chicago tribune regarding this .

It's just a caution. Some people would like to take it slowly but surely, some people love to run fast with a risk of stumbling in the middle. Whichever you go, the finish line is always the same.
All I am saying is if you wish the fast route with the risk of stumbling, then go for it. If not, try the slow but sure route.
no slow, no fast..just follow the rules of the game..

Thanks for your kind reply. Yes this amount of 40K is what i saved from my salary after my employer deducts taxes via withholding. I am confused because I read that you have to declare any foriegn accounts help while filling for taxes here in US. I made these trasnfers to my dad's account and I dont have any NRI account. I am not sure if I will fall into this category and have to declare all this. Thanks again for your help.
You dont fall in to that category and as several members mentioned you dont have to pay taxes for remittances as you already paid tax while earning it.

I'm afraid of same things too...Hope something will work out.
Based on Assement in this article, it almost seems that the chances of STRIVE are dead even before it goes to House Immigration Commettee. I am not trying to be negative or something but the article has such a tone. I can understand that Pelosi did not schedule any timing but what concerns me most is the fact that
"California Democrat Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law, will hold hearings before marking up any bill"
Now we all know how one sided these hearings are and how long they take. In nutshell these hearings give chance to any tom, dick and harry to express his opinion and create melodrama. We already worry about melodrama of people such as Sen Sessions in the Senate. Add this drama, and it can easily eat the short window we have to get the relief. I really hope I am wrong here but I have a bad feeling about this :(:mad:

You know what, you win I loose. Keep paying for your GC out of your pocket.
7.5K and counting. :pNobody wins. I would be glad if my company pays for it. Anyway it's good for me that I got this opportunity at least. And you are right, it's still counting. I'm renewing EAD every 9 months for 3 of us - 180 x 3 =540

Once you leave your shores and come to another country, peeople from every nationality are same. Indians, British, Nepalese, Pakistanis etc...... There must not be concerns about names that sound Indian.....
Indian names are very nice names, kinda difficult for westerners to pronounce but whats wrong in an Indian name???
Indians also have names like John, James, Mary etc... which sound western. Whats wrong with Aman ?? The name is nice. Easy to pronounce.

Hi,
I am in bit of a situation and trying to sort my options. I got my EAD, last month. Also took care of finger printing and received AP documents also. I 485 was filed in July 07. My I-140 is not yet approved.I am accepted to school in france for one year business course, starting Jan and ending Dec 08. Max I can fly back few times from France to US, for few days (In case there is rule for not staying abroad for more than six months). Plea
I am planning to either
a) Submitmy resignation and leave US by end of Nov 07 OR
b) take Leave of Absence from my firm for 15 months.
Is there a way I can continue my GC processing, factoring that I will be out of states for whole of next year.
Your suggestions are sincerely appreciated
Thanks,
Alp

Visa Stamp in Passport: 13-Jan-2007 (I94 in passport expires on 1/13/07)
Current I-797 : From 02/24/2006 to 04-Jun-2007
3-Year extension based on I-140 from: 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010
In this scenario, if I goto India, say in Feb, get my visa stamping done, what will be the validity of my visa in the passport?
1. 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010 as stated in my 3-yr extension or
2. the date I went for interview till 04-Jun-2010??
If its the former, then how can I get into US during March '07 as there will be a gap in my visa dates in the passport?
I will send the same questions to my attorney but would like to know before hand, just in case, if my attorney tries to act smart :(
Thanks in advance for your responses...

Doctors have played a pivotal role in the last few days in getting things done for us.
Ethnic diversity is desirable but not always easy to achieve and if the organization can achieve its goals with groups without ethnic diversity, what's the harm? After all, we are here to achieve the goals and diversity is not the only way that can be achieved.
So please be thankful to Doctors of AAPI who have much bigger and powerful organization AAPI - both in terms of money and clout - and have decided to endorse our effort and help us.
I would kindly request folks to be careful when posting comments as we dont want to neglect or even appear to neglect our supporters.
By the way, we have tried to get a couple of best selling authors on the competitiveness topics but we could not get them to come on the advisory board. We did get endorsements from two of them though - Richard Florida and David Heenan.
