Sorry for the stupid question.
Is it necessary to inform CIS about job change using AC21?
Few of my friends havent informed.

Letstalklc,

Thanks! Good luck with yours too.
No, my application is not filed by Fragoman.

Apparently, there are some fellow in my law firms, who got audited before September 2007 (mine is November 2007), and they havent been approved. So apparently, it is more random than FIFO.

It really sucks.

it would be very helpful if you entered your info on the t-r-a-c-k-i-t-t website.

Congrats!

US experience won't count much unless you are from fortune 500 company. These days anyone even with Aptech certificate can get a chance to come and work in USA on L visa for short assignments. So if your experience is in a desi consulting firm, I do not think your resume will be attractive.

The figures shown are all looking good for experienced people in good companies. But it is not easy to get jobs as senior people in top companies. Also remember you have to work much more than you work here. You also have to work on Saturdays in a lot of companies. If your clients are in USA you may also need work in the night too to interact with your people in USA. Also remember in small companies you rarely get to do cutting edge world class work or new idea or planning. You will hardly learn or get special trainings.

Grass is always green on the other side

I sent in form G-325 for both me and my wife along with my I-485 instead of the G-325A as required on I-485 instructions by oversight. What do you guys recommend I do? Should I send in a new application or just send in the G-325A form with a letter stating the issue? Please help.

Well dont you work for less?.....based on the market rate?

Remember $8 per hr is tax free as well

jobs, which require unskilled labor (walmart jobs, starbucks jobs, farm jobs, janitorial work - all are examples) should be paid a living wage. Which means, if a person works for 40 hours a week, he/she should be able to live with the salary.

I can throw in some numbers for Washington, DC area. For a family of 4.
Living wage: Accommodation ($800 apartment) + Food ($500 a month) + Vehicle, since most of America is not well served by public transportation ($400) + Entertainment, Communication, Clothes, Medicine etc ($500). Total = $2200 a month. Divide this by 160 hours a month and you will get $13.75.

So this is the minimum wage all jobs in Washington, DC area should be paying. Companies often get away with paying way below this amount. Then the society ends up paying the difference.

The Gandhi's philosophy indicates the peaceful protest against obvious injustice. The USCIS/DOS decision to stop accepting I 485 from July 2 was the obvious injustice due to couple of reasons; First, it is un precedent and legally not right to stop accepting I 485 when they made big weekend rush to use all visa. Second, No one can suddenly on and off as thousands of people preparing stuff in advance based on the visa bulletin.

We can not use Gandhigiri for increasing visa number or expediting their immigration process. We can only request. it is not our right hence sending flower to PERM agency is not a good idea. Brahmastra (ultimate weapon) can be used at appropriate time only!

I think vldrao is from numbers usa. That's my theory. he was just hangin out here as a mole to get information from IVers. At the same time he was giving out some information to hide his identity and gain our trust. :)
What say chhapan tikli ?

You probably won't get a FP notice if you have done biometrics done before for I-485.
So may just have to wait for approval.

I E-filed on Apr-13th. Sent doc's on Apr-19th. LUD Apr-21st. No Photo's sent with doc's.
Waiting for FP/Approval.

AFAIK, your visa status will not affect day-trading. You just need to specify the gain/loss when you file taxes (like anyone).

That said, I believe you are aware of the requirement that you need to have a minimum of $25K in your account to do day-trading. And also the risks involved in it.

My 2c as some one who tried it, play only with money you can afford to loose (as you WILL most of the time) and get out if you have to, without emotional attachment.

Have fun and BE SAFE!!!

Thanks for the honest and to-the-point answer Yagw. Yes, I am aware of the risks involved and therefore never EVER exceed the threshold I set for myself. I am not new to stock market having been in it for the past four years -- not that that makes me ANY safer than a newbie though.

Appreciate your advise of caution, will definitely keep that in mind.

Thanks!

Hello Nor. Cal,

If we don't get going, I am afraid that we will not be able to achieve our objective, your objective.

A few motivated people can only go so far. It is unfair to think that your time is more precious than any other volunteer's time. You just might be surprised to learn from us how busy we ourselves are.

Please stand up for your rights. Don't take this campaign for granted.

is a TB skin test neccessary even if you tell the doc you've had a history of positive TB tests? do i have to prove i've had a history of postive TB test for the doctor to remark that on i-693..or can he just remark that without evidence and go on my word

thanks

thanks for all response.
It was very helpful in understanding.

I wonder how strictly the SAME OR SIMILAR job is defined.
Should the job description match exactly the labor certification.

should be an easy task for folks who live in the east bay to show up at the Fremont station and pass handouts.

If you cannot do this much, then it is .....

ya no BABIES FOR ME! I just dont want to have a child

I have a couple of questions:
1. In the AP application form, there is a question on when you intend to travel. What should I enter there when I am only applying for some future travel and am not sure about the dates?
2. I had worked on OPT after my graduation before switching to H1 visa. So when I apply for EAD now, should I apply as a renewal applicant or a new applicant? Is OPT the same as EAD?

thanks.

I have the same query:

Permit: using EAD and calling AC21
Role: exactly the same.
Salary: large difference (bayarea vs small city in under developed state) due to the prevailing wage at the new location is far lower.

Experts please advice.

As discussed above with cyrus mehta's blog: This is all discretionary:

My definition f discretionary: "You need a good lawyer which can wrap your sandwich in "golden wrap" and sell it for $45 instead of seeling it in a "brown bag" for $3.75. It's the same sandwich!!" It sounds harsh, but that's the reality when you deal with a demon called "Law and Lawyers".

Simple version: have it worded by a good lawyer to justify it and make it "same or similar". It is the "wrap" that determines the "price".

Good Luck.

I need some advice from the people on this board.

My labor certification was recently approved via PERM. My employer will soon be signing the paperwork to file the I-140 with INS. My contract with him expires in February 2007, and he wants me to continue working for him beyond that. I, however, have expressed my desire NOT to stay with him any longer than I need to. Obviously, I will need to stay until 6 months have passed from the filing of my I-485 for portability to kick in.



the whole employment thing works with the premise that you are going to work for him after you get your GC...However unjust that might be that is how it is...So you got to reconcile with that fact...And you have to cultivate better relations with your employer....You should not speak about him/lawyer about leaving him. If you have already said that you have done damage to your cause and you have to do some damage control.....I know that employers are a pain in you know what but if you want GC you would need to take the pain ....

Hi Folks,

My fiancee is a MS student and currently has student loan in India being charged at 13.5%. I am wondering if there is any loan that i can get here with a lower interest rate to repay off the one in india.
I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions here.


Dude!

You must be badly in lover with her!... I have never heard about a typical Indian dude worrying about to-be-bride's financial distress. Good for both of you love birds! ;)

LUD 10/03/06 before getting RFE, after submitting RFE documents there were two LUD's 10/04/07 and 10/05/07.

Naresh/Libra,

What was the LUD on your I-140 before you got the RFE ?
In my case, the RD is 10/06 and LUD is 10/26/2006. But, no updates after that.
