Thanks all.
I did send the ITIN application and tax return documents together. I have called IRS multiple times, but they could not confirm anything about the status of ITIN processing. All they say is it is their peak time and I should wait up to 8 weeks to see if I get the ITIN letter :mad:. I have no idea what to do in case I don't get the ITIN letter within that timeframe :confused:.
You dont have anything to worry about. If you dont get the ITIN, just amend your tax return with new ITIN application later.

Gary, I'm just thinking of mine which is a circular polarizer. You rotate the polarizer to achieve the desired amount of polarization. So I can rotate it one way and either darken or lighten the sky. All but your last pic looked as if it was darker on the right side which lead me to the assumption it was a circular type. There's a linear type too which I have never used so I'm not sure how it works, but I imagine it doesn't rotate (anyone?).

I just called USCIS and according to the person I spoke with, it takes approximately 30 days from the date of approval of primary applicant for approval of dependents.

They might not send one to you if you request over the phone, this is for your own security since you keep hearing about cases where personal identity is stolen. If you have an online account, log in and send a request from there, they might send it to your email for a nominal fee though I am not sure. I got mine from Bank of America for 10$

I got same audit in september as well
the guy came in to my desk and took pictures and i was asked to show my pay stubs
then they went to my hr and asked all questions
on being asked he said its the normal procedure
so no big deal , pls make sure if they coem to your office you should atleast have a copy of your paystubs
How can they come to your desk randonmly and ask for pay stubs? Nobody carries paystubs to work everyday.Are these raids authorized by USCIS. Is there a memo that mentions this from USCIS.

It was clearly written in the last 2 pages of any Indian passport that, one should not handover passport to any one; unless other wise MOE (Ministry of External Affairs), Indian Court has ordered so.
It is illegal to:
1. Hand over passport to any one
2. Send through courier across borders
3. To Mortgage passport (a set of people will do in some cases; when they owe money)
4. In Possesen of others passport.
The imprisonment for doing so is 6 months to 3 years in jail or fine or may be both (to the best of my knowledge).
So be careful in doing so.
P.S-1: Handing over passport to Consulate/Embassies is a different case and person should be in the same country where the consulate is while applying for visa?.

Interesting question! Logically, as soon as a H4 holder starts using EAD the H4 becomes invalid. As long as the primary is in valid H1B status, the dependent should be able get back to H4 status even if the 485 is denied.
However, I am not sure how someone can changes status from AOS (due to using EAD) to H4. May be getting out of the U.S. and come back as H4 again? Anybody has any idea?
I think this was my lawyer's contention too when she described to me about being in EAD as well as H-4. As long as my husband is in H-1, I would be in H-4 contrary to most discussions that take place here. I think USCIS, has no clear explanation for this situation!!
Advance parole is similar to this, you have H1 but you become parolee. I don't understand. Any other comments from other applicants?

I was working with employer -A till 2006 and got I140 approved (June 2003 priority date) in EB3. In November 2006 I joined employer B as it is good for my carrier. I talk to employer A (body shopper) and he is ready to support for my green card as I worked for him for six long years and still he did not cancel my old H1B. My main aim here is to apply I485 as soon as I can.
1. I have two options here my old employer (A) is body-shopper. So he will agree for both future or current employment. I have very good permanent job and bright future prospects with new employer (B). In this case what you guys advice me? Apply I485 as future employment or quit present job and join old employer (A) and apply I485 as current employment?
2. If I do not join old employer (with whom I have I140 approved) now, in this case what are my options for I485 applying? (Only future employment I485/ I can file current employment I485 and not drawing any salary from old employer )
3. Will I485 as future employment has any problems?
4. Can I use AC21 after 180 days on my I485 future employment application?
5. My new employer (B) already applied PERM LC for my GC in EB2 three months back and did not here anything from Atlanta DOL till now. What you guys advice me? Is it worthful to wait for this new EB2 LC or apply I485 as future employment with approved I140-EB3 with priority date June 2003.
I am in really dilemma and unable to decide. Appreciate your advice in this matter. Thanks in advance to all your replies and wish you best of luck.
1. Apply I485 as future employment (GC Job Offer from Employer A)
2. Same as #1
3. No, as long as you have job offer for open future GC job
4. Yes. AC-21 can be invoked.
5. Same as #1 seems to be better option

Please advise if 5.5+ years of experience and an Advanced degree in Electronics would qualify me for porting me from EB2 to EB1. I have been waiting to file for my I-140 over an year now but things aren't looking anywhere near to it.
So just wanted to understand if this was even legally possible.

Can we go in person, I thought they would encourage only in case of emergency. Any one know that if we can go to the consulate and get the passport renewed quickly for sure.
Thanks

I am not sure, if you can go in person to houston, mine was sent to washington dc and I got it in 10 days. I had tough time for a different case.
Try to avoid Houston, you will not get any response or anyhelp, I guess they are sleeping for ever.

hi beuhler....if i understand your reply correctly, you meant that as long as there is proof that your marraige date(marraige certificate) is prior to gc approval notice...there is 6 months to file for the i485 for the wife even though she may be in india at the time of marraige?
There is no 6 months requirement. PERIOD.
As long as dependent relationship existed at the time of I-485 approval, she can either file I-485 (if in USA) or can file in home country for immigrant visa (follow to join).

I am not 100% sure but when you are on H1B should'nt you be working from where your LCA was approved for? In OP's case, its remote work but outside USA, in that case I am not sure
1. if the LCA filed will any longer be valid and that might cause issues with labor dept
2. what happens when USCIS finds out that you left the country and physically not present in USA and still running payroll in USA plus also the LCA is no longer valid, this might be an issue when your renewal comes up.
3.how your payroll can be run when you are not in the country?what are the tax implications? you need to have a physical address in US to file taxes, is'nt it? without an address in the specified location and specific state, you will be considered as non-resident.
when you file taxes as non-resident but a resident of a different country, then you will have to understand the tax treaties between the USA and the resident country and file taxes accordingly.
You might want to talk to an immigration attorney as well as someone who specializes in taxes(not just CPA, but an attorney who understands tax laws). I dont think this can be as simple as others mentioned. this is just my opinion and I could be wrong. talk to legal experts.
In my company 3 of my collegues are doing exactly this. All are representing US company in the offshore development centre. there payrolls are run here in US, they are in India and all there expenses are paid by US company. They pay taxes here in US show some friends address and there 485 is also in progress
I am on H1b and also travel a lot at times upto 4 months. (same LCA issue should be true for me also) but never had an issue....
But I hear you, so better check with an lawyer and have a complete picture, but as I say this is completely doable.

Hi All,
I have attended for renewal H1B Visa stamping at Matamoros on May 27th 2010.
Here is the complete process that I have followed from start to End:
* I have used a agent for arranging Application fee & transportation to and from Brownsville, TX.
* Drove from Dallas to Brownsville, TX on May 26th, drive was Okay, not many COPS around.
* Stayed at Days Inn hotel owned by Desi, very helpful at giving information on good restaurants around and places to go if there is enough time.
* On May 27th morning 7:45 am agent will come pick-up from the Hotel and take you to the US Consulate in Matamoros (About 10mins drive). On the way he explains all the details of where they meet after the Interview is done and how to get to Port of Entry by Walk. His first stop in Matamoros would be Best Western Hotel where you can leave all your luggage and all the prohibited items at US Consulate.
**** Be sure to carry all your necessary items to stay in Mexico for atleast one more day if your Visa is not ready the same day****
*Then he will drop you at US Consulate and stay outside until you pass the security line.
* After security there are two people checking your documents (I-797, Application fee & Interview confirmation page) and issue you a SERIAL Number.
* After that you will be allowed inside where the first process is to get your pictures and fingure prints taken.
*After that wait for your number to be displayed for the Visa interview (Takes anywhere between 45 to 60 mins at anytime), for me took about 50 mins.
At the Visa Interview counter:
Initial Greeting exchanges and then asks for the paper work (Passports Old & New, I-797 and Interview Confirmation page). She took about 5 mins to go through DS-160 questions/answers filled online.
VO: Why did you change the company from your Old to New.
ME: Explained the situations.
VO: Do you directly work for the client of your Current Company.
ME: No, I work for a client of another Vendor.
VO: This is not the way how the H1B Visa works, you have to work for a Client of your current H1B Employer.
ME: Blank Face, no answer. (I know that is not how the h1B Works, but no answer)
VO: How do we trust that you are really working for the Client.
ME: I pulled out my client letter and Photo ID Card and gave it to VO.
VO: Okay, so, you got the letter from your Project Manager at Client site. Good let me check that.
VO: Can I see all your W2's from the first year that you are in US and pay slips for last six months.
ME: Handed over all the W2's and Payslips.
VO: Can I see your bank statements for last 3 months.
ME: Gave my bank statements.
VO: Let me check all these documents and discuss with my senior. she went inside with all the documents for about 5 mins.
ME: This was the time that I felt tensed, as I don't have a valid visa to enter US if they decided not to issue a Visa based on all the docs that I have. I never felt tensed for the last 4 stampings that I have attended in India.
VO: Came back after 5 mins. Is there any period that you were with current employer and not get paid.
ME : No.
VO: What is your job description.
ME: Explained.
VO: Is your greencard petition filed.
ME: Yes.
VO: Can I see your Approved labot and I-140.
ME: I have approved labor, but, not approved I-140.
VO: You are supposed to carry all the documents.
ME: Blank face
VO: Okay, your Visa is approved.
ME: Thank you :-)
NOTE: I would say if you don't have client letter and a photo id card from client and you won't have a valid visa currently, I would suggest attending visa interview at your home country.
We went back to US Consulate to collect the passport at 3:30 pm, but, those were not ready.
Agent dropped us back at Best western hotel in Matamoros, we stayed there that night. Don't eat at the hotel restaurant, that sucks. There is a very nice restaurant a block away from Hotel (Mexican), very very good food.
Agent picked us back at 3:00 pm next day and took us to US Consulate. Got the passports with Visa stamped and headed to Port of Entry.
Agent dropped us at Port of Entry and we walked across the bridge. There is a small gate when you enter US Geographical area on the bridge, where you need to 50Cents to enter(No need for Under aged children, I guess below 12yrs). Walked over to the port of entry office to get a new I-94. There is a big line, but, you don't need to be in the line, just walked into the first room skipping the line and keep waiting for one of the officers to call you next in spanish for your turn (Took about close to 4 hrs to get the I-94, once the officer is at the counter it's only 5 mins process. But, you won't see any officers coming to counter until the room is atleast 95% filled.
After we got the new i-94 came outside and called agent to pick us. Agent dropped at the hotel. It's a big relief to be back in US.
If anybody is driving, there is a check post 40/50 miles away from Brownsville where Boder protection agents check your immigration papers (took about 2 mins for me).
If anybody have any questions, please let me know.
Good luck.

In fiscal year 2006, there were 5 Indian firms in the top 10 users of H1B visa.
http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/15273
However, when it comes to PERM filing there is only 1 Indian company in the top 10 list of PERM filers. That is very interesting. Does it mean that Indian companies do not encourage or support GC process as much as the American companies do? I sure hope that's not the case and employees of those Indian companies are getting a fare shot at the Greencard.
Indian companies like wipro, infosys discourage GC processes.

i am sorry..i couldnt follow todays proceedings..whn i cam to iv site in the evening..everyone says bill is dead
whn i went to immigration-law.com, they say the following
cud someone tell me which one is true??????????
We reported earlier the Senate Republican Members Agreement last night. Today, the Democratic Minority Leader and other Democractic leaders agreed to the proposal, turning the Republican agreement into the Bi-Partisan Agreement. This dramatic break-through opens a door to the possibility of passing the Senate version of Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, S. 2454, as amended before this week is over and before the Congress goes into the recess next two weeks.
The development is accompanied by three other developments:
President released statement supporting the bi-partisan agreement;
Senate rejected the Democrat's motion to cloture for the Specter amendments to S.2454;
Senate also relected the Republican Kyl' motion for his amendments.
Now we see the light at the end of the tunnel!!
If you go toImmigration-law update time clearly says 3PM EST and IV postings are around 9.30PM EST ...so what have to be correct? the one which is posted at 3PM or 9.30 PM. You decide. Before asking same question in different place do some homework.

How will an I-140 gets cancelled just because he left the company. GC is for future employment, that should have nothing to do with the current employment. Same with Place of work issue, place of issue on H1 has nothing to do with I-140
As amit has suggested approaching Senators will do wonders (atleast for some)
GC is for future employment but I-140 is not GC. I-485 is Adjustment of status to Permanent resident (GC).
If you leave the company prior I-140 approval. I-140, I-485, EAD & AP are canceled.
If your I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for more than 180 days, then and only then, you can switch company using AC21 while still keeping your I-485 pending.
Mind you, I-140 is not your application, it is employers!

If you leave the company prior I-140 approval. I-140, I-485, EAD & AP are canceled.
If your I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for more than 180 days, then and only then, you can switch company using AC21 while still keeping your I-485 pending.
Mind you, I-140 is not your application, it is employers!

Well,
The following is the process to schedule parents visiting visa interview online (assuming both Mother and Father are above 45 years old)
1. Pay HDFC Visa fee for $131. If you have paid visa fee on or before December 31, 2007, then take a Demand Draft for $31 (eqv in INR) and present the same during the interview process.
2. Wait for 2 days to activate the bar code.
3. Fill the D-156 and D-157 forms online thru VFS website and wait for dates to show up. Remember such filled application will be valid for 7 days and meanwhile , if interview dates show up, then one can schedule interview.
4. The BEST TIME FOR interview dates check up is early morning 5 AM EST thru 7:30 AM EST. ( I did little research during my parents interview schedule).
5. Filling the D-156 and D-157 online does not mean that, they will be automatically submitted to US consulate. You have to take print out D-156 back to back and D-157 on single page. Then you sign and date the form (if you have filled it on behalf of your parents). Send the forms to parents. They also need to sign the forms.
6. Remember, one have to write applicant names in their NATIVE language (ex: Telugu/Tamil/Kannada etc..,) on 3'rd column of D-157 form.
7. Send notarized affidavit for support I-134 form.
8. All supporting documents
9. If your current H1-B visa is expired. then send your Receipt Notice/H1-B extension approved notice as a proof of your Current STATUS at USA.
10. If you have valid H1-B visa stamping, then send the same along with H1-B I-797 approval notice.
11. If you are on EAD/GC, send your copied of EAD/GC.
12. In case, if you are sponsoring your in-laws. Then send your suppose Date of Birth certificate, passport copies, marriage certificate along with your documents.
13. Educate your parents with all possible questions/answers they may face during the interview.
14. Advice your parents not to lie during the interview process. ask them to answer frankly.
Let me know if you need more information for visiting visa. I can/may answer all possible questions.
P.S: My parents got their visiting visa stamped during the second attempt.

No- You better get you act straight.
Your post heading said "TB skin test is not mandatry"
So that implies it is not required. also the correct spelling is mandatory.
The solid evidence is the number of RFEs that have been issued by USCIS if you do not have a skin test.

Don't come around here with your 27 posts with absolutely no basis telling people this or that is not mandatory. If you have an ulterior motive in people getting RFEs, then shame on you.
