are sure it is 7 years? i thought .. it is 3 years.
I think its more than 3 since I got a notice about my 2003 state taxes in 2007 which they said they never received and I got stuck with a penalty ( although I was getting a refund ). I paid the penalty since it would have been too much of a hassle to go through 2003 records and then duelling it out with the IRS.

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement that donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and act maturely!!! Also people have repped in wierdes ways as well on this post.
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
Please do not question the dedication of the people involved. I think you being upset is okay.
answers to your questions.......
On Cruises generally they do not ask about visas but it always is better to get one. We went on one 2 years back and had visas for all the countries that we went to. None was checked.....but if you do not have the H1 stamped then you will have to use AP to re-enter. There is always an immigration officer when you come back to US. They check all paper work and ask questions. We were asked. We had stamped H1/H4 visas.
To be safe always check with some/your lawyer. I did and they were very helpful in this regard (and not in others though).
Please do not abandon the forum as it has been created to help all. While you are here consider donating a small token to show support. This is request and not a demand.

hi Pdnov2005,
i was talking bout pdfs in the begining of this thread that talked bout some congressional documents requesting higher H1 quotas for fiscal yr 2008 and 2009
:) infact if quota is increased and duplicates eliminated, it ensures complete usage of the new quota (if any )

I believe the H1B status ceases after the date of your termination ( i.e. you stop working for the H1 sponsoring employer ). That is the zero tolerance policy of USCIS. Now, one should use AC21 and notify USCIS before the I-485 is approved ( with previous employer as sponsoring entity ).
please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.

Working as a Contractor for an Indian based Consulting Company who make the money? The company or the consultant? There you have the answer.
(Considering the fact that you are paying for the GC process, stuck with the Company, cannot demand for a hike b’coz he know you are stuck and your H1 is 6+ years)
I am not talking about SAP Consultants. Take an average Software Consultant.
The Story may be different when working for a “friends” Consulting Company. But this is in general.

Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India. The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could.
Though the moderator asked further postings to be stopped, I just wanted to let folks know that under FMLA (Federal law - Family Medical Leave Act), employers must give a vacation of upto 12 days (paid or unpaid depending on availability of vacation days) when immediate family members expired.

SLowhand, You are absolutely right. We can understand if USCIS does not send anything to employee for I-140, but for I-485, which really is an application from the employee, it is really not legal for the attorneys to dance on employers' tunes and provide our paperwork to them and then blackmailing us together.
How can we take it up with USCIS through IV?
You yourself willingly knowingly signed G28 form and gave all the power to your attorney. USCIS is not suppose to be sending you anything. And IV has nothing to do with it.
You have to realize, that your attorney/employer have to be willing to support your GC honestly, since you might need them in case of RFEs, etc. If they are playing games, then invoke AC21 and leave them.
You can sign G28 with another attorney, and your new attorney will request your case from your previous attorney. Your previous attorney will have to be REQUIRED to send ALL your papers (including that RN).
You can apply for EAD with just having receipt number, you can find out it by just calling USCIS. So I don't see any reason to freak out.

Actions speak louder than words... Lou Dobbs says Microsoft has waged war against the American middleclass by taking the company to Canada. But that hasn't stopped the company from starting a development center in Canada, nor has the company cared to answer Lou Dobbs in a press release or anything. What I am saying is, we should not care about what Lou Dobbs thinks or says on his show. As long as we being here helps grow the American economy, nobody cares about what Lou Dobbs thinks!!!
Maybe you and I don't care what Lou Dobbs thinks since we already know what the truth is. How about that average family who are oblivious to our situation ? They just watch network television and dare not question the facts because it is coming from CNN and Lou Dobbs.
To the average American H1-B visas almost mean outsourcing American jobs. The reason for this is the misinformation perpetrated by the mainstream media. We stand to lose a lot if we don't counter it. It is necessary to be LOUD and CLEAR and tell them that they are wrong.
Our silence will just reek of acceptance. All the information dispersed by these self-anointed saviors of the American middle-class, will become the truth and we will become the culprits - the so called outsourcers of American jobs. To some extent we already have acquired that reputation.

The dates are a joke.
Seems like they are just a diversion. to keep our minds occupied so we don't bother them with the real issue at hand. I can only say that whoever devised this system is a genius, albeit an wicked one.

Not sure if people have noticed but in the new processing tmeframe - TSC shows EAD as being processed as of March 02.
For those who applied for EAD in recent weeks or months, this may become a serious issue if EAD does not come in time.
I applied for EAD in June 9th and still waiting.

Optimist, thanks for the clarification. Do you get a 3 year extention if?
a) I140 is aproved
b) I140 filed but pending
Thx
To get a 3 year extension:
* I-140 needs to be approved, AND
* your PD in the current months VB needs to be retrogressed.
If I-140 is still pending, either it needs to be pending >365 days, or your LC itself should have been filed >365 days ago.

well - for the antis - the ONLY post they liked seems to be "pack your bags and go home". Lets not try to force ourselves to satisfy them.
Now, when it comes to out of status issues - lot of people do genuinely fall out of status. There is nothing called exploiting the loophole unless someone breaks the laws.
It is obvious that one must not be on bench, or after layoff without a job. There is no room for loopholes.
We have always seen that USCIS does treat every petition for renewal on a case to case basis. Grace period (considerable) has been considered for genuine cases.
Infighting is common - it happens everywhere. People seldom change.
See - IV is not something like a freedom movement or asking for rights for poor or downtrodden - IV is basically a group of immigrants who are skilled and well educated who want to lobby for a change in system and sort issues. Everyone here has their own selfish motive and that's why this infighting among eb2 vs eb3 , MS vs BS, India vs ROW et al......
So lets not worry too much because antis paint all of us together because of actions of some people. If people realize and change - well it is good for all - otherwise - "we cannot make the horse drink water .." you know what I mean
I agree with you. Any advise given here is not legal and yet it will definitely attract the attention of the AI groups/individuals. However the fact is the custodians of the Law themselves do adjudicate approvals on a case by case basis and give due consideration to small lapses in status.
As a community we are here to support fellow would-be immigrants in whatever way possible within the 'legal' framework of the laws applicable. Sometimes a simple -'get your back wages done or go on unpaid vacation' is construed as a wrong advise. It is quite possible that many of people are genuinely mis-informed about their rights or do not recognize they might be out of status.
A lot of people do not make it a point to read the basics on their status and their rights either and apart from being a forum to rally support for the 'cause of legal immigration' this should be a community to educate people of their rights and provide the kind of support we currently do.

IRS can go back 3 years unless they have evidence that you understated your income by more than 20%. There are some depreciation issues that may allow them to go back further.
As far as I know, IRS and INS (USCIS) do not share information with each other. USCIS is under the Dept of Homeland Security and IRS is under Department of the Treasury.
I actually read a newscoverage in California couple of years ago where INS sued the IRS for not providing information about the illegal immigrants. INS claimed that they failed to obtain information from the IRS about the illegal immigrants who were filing tax returns using TIN numbers. If I remember correctly, INS lost the lawsuit and IRS was ordered not to release information on people to the INS.
Just to clarify a little more about TIN and SSN is that you cannot get a SSN unlress you have some sort of work authorization (Such as H-1, EAD or even F-1 working/willing to work on-campus) where you can get TIN numbers from IRS and they don't want to know your visa/residency status. So, if you are living illegally in the U.S., you can still get TIN number and file tax returns.
That's just it; isn't it. I'm here legally paying taxes, immigration and all that other good stuff. This last year many illegals who filed 2006 taxes and were awaiting refunds did not get the refunds due to their immigration status! Many things are on the change and when 4 of you are on TIN#'s it is easy to get pulled. What they audited us for was stupid totally illogical! Prove we were married, that the kids lived with us and we lived together in same house. That was it. Why would you file jointly if you did not live together in the first place. IRS office confirmed, then 2nd one re-confirmed it was flagged by INS and it wasn't even hidden well. So, that was August and we filed 07/05 the audit was for 2005 returns. They have all paperwork, but haven't heard anything back yet. That is a good thing too. I crammed every bit of evidence I could into that sealed file before sending it off. The officer who confirmed receipt of it was laughing harder with each turn of the 50 odd documents of proof that I had sent. She said I don't think we can deny that you live together and the kids live with you!!! Please don't worry about it. You should receive a letter in about 30 to 40 days with the outcome.
That is it and I shall wait for the letter to arrive signing it off.
Cheers,
LRIndy.

I totally agree with u we dont know what situation that guy must be to take this decision..Here people gets panicked when they dont get their EAD card and Advance parole in time. So guys just pls pray that his soul gets peace...
"His soul gets peace"? Are you kidding me? This is a guy who murdered his entire family. Sorry, I have no sympathy for him. Let's not call this thing a suicide okay? He killed 5 or 6 people, that too his own family members and that is murder. The fact that he committed suicide is irrelevant.
