all you freaking south indians can do is sit on your ass and code all day long .... As soon as you fellows open your mouth we all get how intelligent you guys are .... As for drawing the line between north and south - can we just seperate the telugu, kanada, tamil and malayalam people from the north and the rest of us northeners will be just fine :)

Hello All,

After being without job for almost 2 months, I am getting an offer for a short term project on 1099. Project is in my field and my job responsibilites are exactly same as what was approved on my labor. I am a Jul 07 filer.

Now, if in the next few months I get any Employement Verification RFE, what are my options? How can I answer the RFE while on 1099? What kind of documentation will I need? Has anyone successfully answered an EV RFE while on 1099?

OR

Is being on 1099 while on EAD a bad idea and I should stay away from it?

Related questions - I am not planning to file AC21 at this time as this is a short term contract and I don't want to 'notify' USCIS of any changes at this time. Can there be any potential issues of not filing for AC21 in such cases? My EAD will be up for renewal in Sept 2010 and I am hoping to be in a full time permanant position by then.

Thanks all for you replies!!!

Those who are seeing the 'Welcome Notice malied' status have ADIT mentioned in the Case Status online. There is NOTHING to be done at your end except waiting for the cards once your case is approved. USCIS will NOT approve a case unless the FP is complete - refer to the 485 adjudicator field manual.

Just like their legacy IT systems, USCIS standard email messages are also in the same league and have not been updated. Wait for the cards and contact USCIS only if you dont receive them in a reasonable amount of time - read two weeks from case approval date.

After 6-7 months tell the employer that i'm going India for ever due to personal reasons - you know its not feasible for me to pay.

They can't cancel 140 after 6 months from approval ( or can they?) , they can't substitute the labor because its already used and July 17th has passed.

Then I actually go back to India , spend some time , come back silently because i have a EAD and AP.

Thanks !

No one can force you to work for them. If there is no breakage clause, then the agreement will not stand in court. Issue is when there is a breakage clause. If there is a breakage clause, you may either have to fight it or suck it up and pay the amount (as long as it is a basis for the amount - just saying "pay $10K if you leave the job" will not stand in court either).

Usual disclaimer is - this is not legal advice. Consult a lawyer for good legal advice.

My I-485 was delivered to NSC on June 26th. I-140 is approved from TSC. I did not get my receipt yet so I talked to my attorney, she said the case may be transfered to TSC. TSC receipt completion date 6/26, considering the tranfer time of 2 more days we may get our checks cashed by this week. I hope this become true!

My I-485 was received by NSC, on Jun 25th. Called USCIS today, they said information is not in system. Lawyer is also not repsonding, if checks are cleared. My previously approved I-140 from TSC has a LUD of 08/05/07.

Done - Thanks!!

ok, let me put the matter to rest before you take it out of context. My observation was based on the thread that we had for collecting the amount..I didn't see many EB3 folks contribute dollars....but now that 2 EB3 are vouching that enough EB3 folks contibuted, that's great. I just observed something and if it hurt you right down the spine, sorry. I filed PERM 3 months ago, I'm far off in this process. Just focus on advocay so that everyone gets their GCs. Good luck. I hate this EB2 vs EB3, this is a never ending debate. Just hope everyone gets their GC in time.

Nothing personal. I appreciate everybody's contribution and efforts. I was trying to dispel the notion that PD progress is somehow related to how much we contribute to advocacy efforts. That is just not true.

Peace !

That is correct. It does vary from lender to lender. I got 100% from my lender. 1st loan 80% 2nd 20%.



This varies widely from lender to lender.

I was able to get approved for 100% financing for an investment property (which is even harder to get financing for). I decided not to buy it later though.

Always try different kinds of lenders. Big banks, small banks, credit unions. Also try mortgage brokers. Sooner or later you'll make a hit.

We can get inforpass by visiting https://infopass.uscis.gov/, i will try that.

Thanks Marty.

Thanks for the update. Beginning from S. 1932 last year, we have been riding an extremely rough roller coaster. We are all sick of politics. I personally feel nothing much might be accomplished this year. A lot is at stake for politicians if they take any position. Thus dragging the issue and dealing with it next year seems to be their only option. It is a bad sign for lots of legal immigrants who have been anxiously waiting all this while. If at all anything can happen, it will only be due to initiative from the President. Or if President signs a emergency bill giving relief to outstanding, highly educated people who have been in line. This option maybe a daydream but will keep us optimistic until November this year. Sorry for sounding pessimistic.

This is a good idea - actually we could send flowers for cheap rates if we order it in bulk. Let me know who's in for this. We can open up a paypal account or use one of our own paypal account and start collecting funds and use it to send the flowers to the USCIS dept.

Any takers?

By the way - since I am in NOVA/DC, I can initiate some media coverage even if we can get some substantial number of people sending flowers.


Can anyone familiar with using paypal accounts come forward? I personally have never used them (except to donate to IV) so I would not be a good choice. That person will have to publish the nicknames (people can use whatever names they want if that is possible!) and the amount paid by each person at the end of the day.

This will help our cause... I believe more people will come forward if we do this. Of course others still have the choice of doing this individually as well!

I have to get the EMP LETTER latest by Friday June 29th from employer.
For that i have to sign the agreement by June 28th Noon time.

Today is June 26th and they are still working on agreement with their lawyers and would probably give me the final agreement tomorrow 27th noon time.

Between 27th Noon and 28th Noon how can i consult a lawyer ??


I meant "whole sentence from the employment agreement". All depends on the wordings. If your agreement is linked to I-485 approval date then there is a way out. Every contract must have well defined terms. Since date for I-485 approval is not known, such contracts are difficult to stand in court of law. However, if it says "the employee must work for 2 years or 6-months after I-485 approval date (whichever is earlier) otherwise he/she will pay all GC related expenses" then the contract is more likely to be enforceable.

All depends on the wordings of the contract.

Please consult a good lawyer BEFORE signing any contract.

Not a legal advice.

desi,

so what is your point? i have no doubts that i can prove point 1, 2 and 3 below... i.e. real business, planned business (with only me as the employee), contracts and orders. i dont think anyone here is talking about a non-bonafide job with a "paper shop" (in your words)...

what is your point about If business is new, it becomes difficult to show that business can offer full time job to someone at say 60k salary per year? doesnt that sounds like "ability to pay" issue? if yes, that is not an issue at I-485 stage... the yates memo clearly states this...



The problem with self employment is demonstrate
1. AC-21 job is in same classification as original labor/I-140
2. New job is bonafide

In order to show that the new job is "real", one has to show
1. The business is real, not just paper shop
2. Business Plan, Funding to support employees
3. Any contracts, orders etc

If business is new, it becomes difficult to show that business can offer full time job to someone at say 60k salary per year. Now, if business has some capital funding or line of credit from bank or some long term contracts, then it is relatively easy to show that business can support employees.

The burden of proof, in case of RFE, lies on beneficiary.

Done..

Do you really believe there are 700K "unique" cases pending.
I think elimination of Labor Substitution would take out atleast half of 700 K pending labors..

Making the total new cases definitely managable - "damn again I m thinking logically." :rolleyes:

Can anyone clarify what's included in the 700k? Those who filed 485? Those who filed or with approved 140? Those with all approved labor? :confused:

any new receipts please add to this list...

Yes, if we work on our state chapter and get some idea how many members can join in DC then we can talk about it to core members and see what they think.


IF something is planned, we can come to DC from Raleigh,NC.

When ever IV go and seek advise from Law firm or lobby firm they charge some money. No one is giving free advise in USA. We cannot run random campaign becasue people will not participate if no out come. We need to find out perfect time. Also we , and IV are common people who came from foriegn country and have no idea of whole US immigration system but law / lobby firm do.

If you and other sincere member contribute and participate activelly we may achive something. May be just giving few USD will not help. But there were so many anti coming to site and harming our agenda. since we have donor forum few anti come there. So if you are serious do contribute and get donor status. Participate in state chapter and work with IV and all of us. That will make date current for all.

So who is the leader who is responsible of DOING stuff with that money when I contribute

Guys
Just saw my cheque cashed.. I think it got transferred over to TSC. I sent to NSC on Jul 2. And yes i had LUD in my I-140 as 7/28

can you tell by the images of cashed checks that were they cashed by TSC or NSC... or any kind of SRC# or LIN# on them to indicated whether it was cashed by TSC or NSC?
