There would be many of us who would be able to relate to this article . I don't feel it is totally false, I guess this is the author's Memoir (partly true & partly made up ) & not his autobiography.
(made up part is what the author foresees in the future - reason given below )
- If not parents then it might be grandparents who kept waiting/hoping to see their grandson/granddaughter's children but passed away without seeing them.
- Latter part (what sounds like made up part ) is what the author saw in working/service class families in the US who came here 20 - 30 years ago (i hv myself come across such families) & believes his future would be the same - who knows it can be true for anyone ???
During youth a guy is busy in his job, is able to pay all his bills as well as save some money for vacation, which happens during long weekends or once a year , life goes by like this but when he grows older/retires & wishes to go back & settle down he finds things are not what he wants or wanted - children dislike staying/going to india , they study in a college in a different city , visit them once in a while , he & his wife r left alone & find it very lonely here. He knows he has not become a multi-millionaire & looks back & realizes he has always lived a hand-to-mouth life - BUT Is this what he wanted ? was all this worth it ?
He could never reach a conclusion & one day he passes away. Now his wife is left alone even lonelier & she has the same questions.
She visits india every year for 1 or 2 months - she likes it there. But
She cannot settle there - it will make her far from her children , She cannot settle here - because her roots are there.

I came back last month from India via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. Airline does suck badly, but there is no need for transit visa if you got valid AP/visa stamp.
Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

I can create a spreadsheet on thinkfree.com or any other collaboration site with information about monthly or recurring contributions
All those who have contributed please send me the details via private message so that this thread does not get swamped - I will work on it next weekend.
Thanks ramaonline for your help. Instead of relying on PMs lets open a new thread... The PM folder may overflow -- I think opening a new thread and asking contributing members to respond will be a better idea. Should I open the thread?

Higher salary should not be a problem at all. Important thing is, the salary should be equal or above the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level. PW also a survey of wage by DOL. It does not mean that one should not earn considerably more than average. Lets see an hypothetical example,
A young Software engineer joins microsoft using AC21 and dates Bill gates son/daughter and marry him/her. Bill gates increase that person salary to 1 million, but he/she continuously doing same SW engineer job. In that case 1 million salary should not be a problem for AC21, because it is higher than PW in seattle.
(Dont ask me why not if a person marry Bill gates son/daughter they can come in family category)
Ramba,
What if I am working as a contractor with a govt agency. The agency offers me a job but salary would be 10K less than my current salary, but with better benefits. However still new salary is more than what is required to pay for similar job at that place i.e. if a company is filling for a new H1B. (the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level)
Now in this case, if the salary is 10K less than what is specified in my I-140, will I hear any music from CIS? This is not hypothetical, but real dilemma I am facing.

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.

From what i know, if you have an Indian Passport and a US Green card, the only countries you can travel to without any visitor/tourist visa requirements are India, USA, Canada, and Bahamas
Are there any other countries I can go to which don't require a Visa or will grant a visa on arrival?
Thanks.
I think switzerland does not reqire a visa (did not until few years ago). There are other Carribean countries such as Domincan Rep, Jamaica etc that don't require a visa, if you have a GC.

Dear Friends,
I have an approved I-140 with PD of Mar 06, but i left this company to join a new company. I have tried many times to file PERM through this new company but still unsuccessful. I am waiting to withdraw my PERM appeal to file a new PERM since January 09 (so folks don't ask me to update my profile because i am yet to file PERM, I have updated my profile three times since 2006 and also cleared it).
Question: When i spoke to my company's lawyer regarding my earlier I-140 they say that first i need to get my PERM approval (I agree) and than i need to get my I-140 approval (Which i am not sure) inorder to port priority date, is it true? Can't we port Priority date along with I-140 application itself?
Thanks,
R.

Accepting I-485 without PD current also needs legislation...if you don't know about that already !
Good news could only be this. Accept I-485 and issue EADs. Country limit cannot be removed that quickly. I think a legislation needs to be passed to be in effect. What say??

He will have the H1 status until the expiry date. But only thing he may not be able to transfer H1 if there is no other case is pending.
Youre allowed to stay in H1 status for 6 years. If you want to extend it over 6 years, that extension will be based on the EB petition (you need an LC and approved I-140). If that EB petition is denied and denied again thru appeals (MTRs), you are out of status.

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks for your responses guys. Now I understand that once I withdraw my old I-140, my I-485 is gone.
Reg my question 2, I know that people file 1 in EB3 and second in EB2. Or after one is approved file another one with earlier PD LC. But, is it possible to apply for second I-140 in the same category (EB3) when another one is already pending? Have any one done this before?. Could you guys point me to some links?
I asked this question to my lawyer. No response yet. I would really appreciate your response.

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.

I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??

There is no such status as "out of project". Based on the fact that you do not have a job and your employer is not paying you, you are out of status already. It is your employer's responsibility to pay you no matter you have a project or not. In fact, it is because of cases like yours that USCIS has raided those desi body shops and put them behind bars.
My advice to you is change your stauts ASAP to F-1 or if you are married, then to H4.
If the bove two options are not something you can do, please leave the country.
I already put a transfer in Oct 2008. since I am not sure about H1b approval of old company.
Its in pening status.
Out of project since one month.
Thanks

I said I will get stamping done before I return from India for the first time. That way the action of getting I-94 at POE upto Feb28,2007 by official does not arise.
I just want to tell the community that such issues due to "Last Action" can arise and we need to be aware of them. ;)
