I signed contract on my house and now looking for a mortgage. I�m looking at eLoan, LendingTree, credit union and a few banks/lenders listed in Bankrate.com.
I would appreciate if you can share any information regarding any of the lenders, your experience dealing with them or any other useful information which will help me make a informed decision.
I�m at Houston, TX.
If you are one of them who would like to remind me it�s not an immigration related question�.I�m an immigrant and I have a question�.so would it make it a immigration related? :)
Thanks for your time.
Bank of America has a great program called No-Fee Mortgage Plus (http://http://www.bankofamerica.com/loansandhomes/index.cfm?template=lc_mortgage). It does not charge some of the fees - like the appraisal fees, etc + reasonable, competitive rates. They also guarantee to get all of the closing done within a certain period of time, which they usually beat by at least a couple of days! We have our mortgage with them presently. There is also Sallie Mae Home Loans (http://https://www.smhl.com/index.html)! We had our first home loan with them, but then they sold it to AmTrust Bank (http://https://www.amtrust.com/Personal/Pages/home.aspx) formerly known as Ohio Savings Bank. Our rates or anything else did not change. We live in AZ.
You should window-shop around as much as you can, but remember to initiate all of your inquiries within a 2-week period - so it is counted as a single hit on your credit history!
Discussing all aspects of mortgage - there is an excellent resource, The Mortgage Professor (http://http://www.mtgprofessor.com/) ! As immigrants, we have to share all info we can, the kind of info that is usually shared between family/ friends if you stay where you were born!
Good Luck with your mortgage-search and with your immigration, too!

Looking at all the things, it looks like August bulletin would be the best bet USCIS have with some cutoff dates but keeping the already filed apps.

I guess you need to give them a little bit more time. Watch out for visa bulletins till the end of this year, maybe that will give us some pointers.

You get the FP notices, attorney gets a copy.
Best way to find out (if you missed it) is to call USCIS Customer Service number on your I-485 notice.
Don't think it's delivered personally - it may not get delivered if you filed a change of address with the post office, but it should be in your mail if you haven't moved/no address change, imo.
jazz
Who gets FP notice? is it attorney or us?
We also filed on July 2nd at NSC.. got EAD and AP. buit no sign of FP yet. we were also out of country for last 3- 4 weeks. Is there chance we could have missed it?

Notwithstanding the good research below...
Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Given this is legislation, I don't think rule changes can trump it. I don't believe per country limits will change. Besides, how is that a solution to anything? This is not an Indian or Chinese issue. It's a legal immigrant issue.
See pg CRS-5 of document http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/84914.pdf
Two important exceptions to the per-country ceilings have been enacted in the
past decade. Foremost is an exception for certain family-sponsored immigrants.
More specifically, the INA states that 75% of the visas allocated to spouses and
children of LPRs (2ndA family preference) are not subject to the per-country ceiling.18
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry
ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act
of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based
immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long
as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
The impact of these revisions to the per-country ceilings is discussed later in this
report......................

As understand the process
1) First one should change the employer with new job.
2) Apply for new Labor (with EB2 requirements) -- PERM 3 months.
3) Apply for new I-140 (use old I-485) -- PREMIUM 1 month.
4) No need to apply for NEW I-485.
Guys, this is the best option for EB3, use it.. with in 4 months you are current... let us port to EB2...no need to wait this VISA bulletin saga.

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).

USCIS Knows the numbers now or they would not predict April 2006 if they did not know. I believe that If you read the predictions of QSK then you will know exactly what might happen. It will go up to Sep 2006 and might stay there or move back to April.
I do not want to bring your hope down but Do not hope anything above Sep 2006.

I played around with the 14n at Adorama. Also I have been at DPR Kodak forum gathering user experiences. For its price, its a great camera for its targeted purpose.
There are two problems for me. There can be major magenta fringing at back-lighting and low light conditions (What will happen for shooting one hour before sun rise and after sun set?). You must shoot raw and do significant digital dark room work.
Complaint: Even the D70 has spot metering, 1/500 x-synch, 30 - 1 / 8000. Cmon, Canon, at least put the d*mn spot-metering on the 10D-II (if not 12mp, FF, ... for $999.00)
StevenI dont' know, is there canon 10D-II? with those spec I think I'll have to buy one

Hello Sleuths,
:) I appreciate your logical thinking and attention to detail! Yes, I've a worldwide roaming cell phone whose number is listed in Bay area, but I can receive calls wherever cellphone signal reaches.
I had included my cell phone number in my letters to IO earlier and he first called my office number and then tried my cell.
Hope the IO was not just checking if you still work for the employer you listed in your application. Not finding you in your office, and your telling him that you are out of country for an extended period may raise some flags.

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) -
Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?

My lawyer says "If we file the I-140 based on the LC-PERM, we would interfile it into your pending AOS, so your AOS would be pending based on the pending I-140 (NOT the withdrawn LC Sub)."
Is it possible to interfile if the PD is not current? My pending LC SUB and the PERM LC PD, both are not current. Please confirm whether it is true or not. This will help me make my case.

Yes, it is all luck with this kind of stupid process they follow.
If some one in India talks about this stupidity before we come here will be nice I guess as once we come here with lot of ambitions and aspirations without knowing internals of stupidy we all get stuck, neither there nor here and keep waiting for GC dream to come true.
There is no logic for this process.

I hope IV does push for the 485 measure but if for whatever reason they change there mind and dont push for 485, I would be disappointed but that will in no way affect my attitude towards IV. Over the past year or so I have seen enough of core tem to say they take a decision in the best intrest of IV.
I have not filed for I-485 and neither am I close. I feel I-485 is much more controversial interim relief then most members think. This is explained in a post (from a law firm) in another forum. Another reason for my feeling is that AILA is not supporting I-485 filing for health care: they are supporting a temporary 25K-75K increase in GCs. It is possible that health care GC does not have I-485.
You have to choose an issue that has a chance of getting through rather then an issue that most persons want or is logical. I will be surprised if I-485 filing as interim interim relief reaches the bill state and/or the bill gets approved in Senate + Congress.
I do not consider this to be a reason to move away from IV. I agree with some requests that require IV to explain their finances and dis-agree with some IV decisions. In particular, I very strongly dis-agree with some topics + language + tone allowed in the forums. As we are seeing, it is turning people away from IV.
However, based on the big picture and the attitude of core, I will roll with them on any issue they decide to pursue.
