Nice take on the situation.
I am very surprised about the requests for cheap photos !!! What a pity.
We were ready to spend thousands of dollars just a month ago just to have the ability to apply for I485, but when you get a chance , try to save a few dollars and risk an RFE , delay in processing or even denial.
Walmart photos suck , so are CVS photos. I had them take my pictures in the past. Never used the walmart ones and CVS photos got rejected for visa revalidation. They used Polaroid camera at walmat and they were not good at all.
I took them at Macy's studio , costed me about $30 for 6 copies but they are great. Please choose a professional studio, $20 extra dollars are worth every penny.
Some one mentioned about saving $20 and have a dinner. I would rather have peace of mind knowing my pictures are good enough for USCIS than have a $20 dinner.
Just my 2 cents though. May be I am extra cautious because I got burned once :)

:cool:. That restriction is for immigrants. As a non-immigrant he should be able to bring as many wives as he wants.

6) You can not invest in Educational investments schemes ( Theoratically you can invest and they will take your money gladly) as those are ONE-WAY money, once gone you can not take out, only your children can take out. Now imagine you are on H1.. Invetsed money in eduction schemes for your children. Down the road after 10 years suddenly finding yourself in limbo you go back to your country... money is stuck.. ( I do not have full scale study of workarounds..Someone more elite on this subject can put mor light on this)
You can actually use the educational investment money outside USA also (atleast in some schemes). Also its not completely shut out - if you prefer to take the money outside of 529plans for other than educational purposes - you can do that but have to pay penalty just like early cash out of 401k.
Yes all these add to extra hassles a non-immigrant has to go thru even for as simple thing as saving money for kids education.

I want to bring out the plight of legal immigrant community that has been silently suffering the consequences of a broken immigration system. It really baffles me that all the focus in immigration debate is on ILLEGALS when highly educated LEGAL immigrants who play by the rules, pay taxes and follow the law are left in the lurch. Attending to legal immigrants plight will also send a positive signal to the ILLEGAL community to see the perks of being LEGAL. Right now, it seems more rewarding to be ILLEGAL than pursue the LEGAL route towards immigration. What an irony!
The country based quotas imposed on Employment Based green cards are not only unfair but self defeating because the benchmark is country of origin and not qualification! Since these EB category based green cards are awarded for professional skills, imposing a country based quota just does not make any sense. I urge you to work with Congress and change this discriminatory policy and reinforce that America is truly a society that celebrates meritocracy.
The immigrant community is really looking at President Obama to deliver on his promise of CHANGE - Change that we can believe in.

By law Employer is required to pay for your labor. You cannot pay for your labor application. Employer can ask you to pay for your I140 which cost around 400 but if you go for premium processing you can pay 1000 extra. There is no other cost involved. To port your date your lawyer sends a letter to USCIS requesting them to consider your EB2 I140 instead of your Eb3 140 which results in your successfuly porting with your priority date still being maintained from old labor
I am in May 2003 EB3I boat. My employer is now trying to file my case in EB2. I have a master degree and 5 yrs experience prior to my EB3 filing in May 2003. The questions is regarding what to file and cost.
Do we need to file 1. PERM 2. I140 3. I485 all over again ? If so here are the fee for each step 1. 2750 2. 475 (1250) 3. 1010 each(2000 for applicant and spouse. The ones in () are legal fees. Is this sound reasonable ?

I hope your prayers bring you peace in your life.
However, prayers might be good only for that. What I say below is directed to people in general, and not to you. So, please don't get offended. I am not suggesting in any way that you are not making any concrete efforts to support IV.
I bet a lot of people are praying very very hard for their greencards.
I would like to request them to invest in concrete steps. Give monetary support to IV. Form, or join, a local state chapter. Go meet a lawmaker or his staff. Call them up and talk to their staff. Pray only if you have done all or some of the above. As they say, God helps those who help themselves. Keep up your end of the bargain, and then ask God (of the Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whatever) for help.
Hi everyone,
Have a lot of patience my wife and I have been patiently waiting for this and now it's finally here.
We've been here in different situations below....
Myself
1997 - H1B
2000 - LC filing
2001 - LC cancelled by company because of 911. If company responded to RFE, Labor could have been certified.
2006 - Laid off while on 9th yr of H1
2007 - Back on H1 transfer
Spouse
1998 - H1B
2001 - Filed LC because my company cancelled LC
2003(Mar) - PD
2005(Sep) - LC approved
2005(Dec) - I-140 approved
2007(Apr) - Can file AOS/EAD now
The secret.....
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. Nothing beats it.
To those who don't know, it took Noah 120 yrs. of faith and hope to built his arc when he was asked to, by Our Heavenly Father.
Regards and CONRATULATIONS to all who can file AOS and EAD now.
More power to IV team.

Do you expect this forum to be pro-employer when most of them are for lack of better words were screwed by consultants? People and relationship are important. Also, what is put on paper matters. As a matter of goodwill why cant the employer strike off that clause? Nobody is serving here. Businesses make money, investing in people, products and services. Why would an employee be subject to such clause like withholding the compensation, if employer for valid reasons wants to separate from this company? Immigrants are cautious because of the environment. This has nothing to do with Indians or desis or any race.
When you sign a contract, it is always better to read it, validate with others, seek legal advice(if needed/available) and sign. Because contract has legal binding unless it violates any law.
Again, this could be a boiler plate clause, but not a clean clause like,
"If one doesn't want to choose medical coverage, company will pay 5K extra as bonus very year" ;)
Well, I read all the posts on this thread, they seem too cautious and pro employee. My advice to you is
1) People and relationships are more important than money. This is true only if the people are of high moral standard. If your company is going to teach you things (it is generally the case) then be receptive and serve them well. They might give you a raise. If they are prepared to invest in you, you should be prepared to invest in them. This will improve the image of indian workers.
2) The clause you are stating is not very bad. If you own a company and you teach your workers skills, you want something in return. You can avoid complications by making sure to clearly document what you already knew and what has been taught to you.
3) There are things called trade secrets. If the company teaches you these secrets you should not disclose it to others. Otherwise your ass is grass.
4) This is not the same as the 200,000$ bonded contract settlement precedent cited in the thread. It may not apply to your case. This is also not a legal forum. Pay 200$ consulting fees and talk to a lawyer and get advice. Don't loose sleep! and post that response here!!!!
We as immigrants tend to be too cautious. This is good, but it should not be in the way of good relationship with employers. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best!!!

When I was trying to file in EB-2, this was the first question that I asked me lawyer -- No matter what, I do not want to get my pending EB-3 case to get in trouble. His answer was -- These two are going to be totally isolated cases. A person can have multiple pending green card applications. Heck, one can have one application in EB category and the second one in FB category. Having two cases together in EB category is fine and the outcome of EB-2 case at any stage would not effect EB-3 case at all. (Again, if USCIS finds that you are in some sort of fraud then it is all together a different case).
What you should not do (coming from lawyer) is do not file two sets of I-485. That is going to screw up your case.
Another suggestion that lawyer gave me and I did not follow is -- Let us say your EB-3 I-140 is pending and you and your wife have EAD and AP. When you start a new EB-2 process, during the I-140 stage, take CP route (Counselor Processing). This is best of both the worlds. You have EAD and AP from EB-3 petition and you are requesting for CP for your EB-2 application. As soon as your dates become current, you will be notified to go to your home country US embassy. Go there with family, get everything done and come back to the US with GC. If S*H*I*T happens there (Which is rate), come back with AP (derived from EB-3 application) and you are back to where you were. By doing this, you just eliminated two things -
1. Interfile is a tricky process. If you could avoid it, avoid it.
2. When dates become current, US embassy would surely look in your case. That process is far better than USCIS + I-485.
Negative point of this route is - you need to make a trip to your home country on a short notice.
Once again, good luck to you all. Just, do not do anything illegal to get GC. Do whatever is permissible under the law and do not even believe your lawyer. Do your own homework.
Hi All,
I am looking to change my employer, i am on H1B but have EAD approved (EB3 :(). i am looking for some guidance in terms of talking points with prospective employers and convince them to re-file my labor/I-140 in EB2, my PD is May 2005 with current employer.
i have just once concern (well more of clarification than a concern):
- if i convince my prospective employer to go thru EB2 Process, do i need to go to EAD (AC 21) with this new employer or jump on H1?
- if they re-file my labor/i-140 in EB2 how does any RFW/issues impact my EB3 status?
i may have few terminologies wrong so apologize for that.
will appreciate a response.
Thanks
