Thanks for supporting me TeddyKoochu !
I am sure there are many others who missed the 2007 fiasco and waiting patiently. And I believe allowing pre-filing is an admin fix, correct ?

As per Indian Income Tax laws, every Indian becoming NRI MUST file return every year. If the person does not have any income in India after getting the NRI status, s/he still needs to file "NIL" return. How many NRI should be following that? We all know that answer.. Well,,people will adopt the same strategy here...
Hey..is that true about NRI's filing taxes in India?
Hmm...I didnt knew that.

May 21st, 2005 is cut off date for family based immigration and not EB based immigration. It's very confusing that both cut off dates are May 21st but different year.
GCard_Dream, what is your source of this date. There is no date like this mentioned in the bill draft available on IV's home page.
Is there any other place where I can get latest text of this new bill ?

Excellent catch, amoljak. See my post above for the explicit rule re: EB immigrants not being subject to a hard quota. The IV core team is already investigating if Sections 202(a)(3) and 202(a)(5) are equal. The language seems to suggest so, but 202(a)(5) makes it explicit that EB visa requests under a specific EB category (the visas made available under that paragraph) will remain within that category until all visa requests are satisfied. EB1 will not spill over into EB2 unless are ALL EB1 requests are satisfied; ditto for EB2: EB2 will not spill over into EB3 unless ALL EB2 requests are satisfied, and so on. 202(a)(3) says that in general, there is a soft quota for both family-based and EB green cards, but the categories make it confusing and open to interpretation.
It looks like the elimination of country limit is appering in two places in INA (section 202 and 204). Specter/Frist removed it in one place. IV members should contact the good immigration lawyers about this issue and we should know what is the intension behind the stricking the paragraph 5 in both the bills.

Yes, this is happening in some of the main airports(like ORD, JFK, ...). My friend' friend and her husband went to India for vacation and came back. At POE (ORD), the officer asked them to go back to India imm. Then these couples showed their EAD and ongoing mortgage, in spite of that he has given them 15 days time limit to sell the house, car and everything, and leave the country. Poor ppl, they sold the house for under value and they are yet to leave the country now (may be within a week). They don't want to offend anyone, becoz they want to enter US in future without any black mark.
If they come to know, the person is coming alone, then they are asking him/her to jus leave the country imm. In some cases, where both Husband and wife are working, they force one of them to convert they H1 to H4. Worst case, they are asking them to leave country :(
Its really devasting, we should take it to a serious level in India. But ppl are afraid about next visits. We should send a serious message to our politicians in India. The consulate just give visa and let them travel, and ask ppl to go back at POE, because they want their tourism to flourish. I remember someone talking about this issue in Parliament, but before it goes to a serious level, the elections came.
Guys please, join hands and we have to do something. We could be the next victim.
Hey, I 'd like to speak to these friends friends...of yours.
PM me and let me know how can I get in touch with them.
Friend's freind is only one degree of separation, shouldn't be that difficult for you to get their contact information. I can see this building up as a way of bilking some money from the IV community.
If your "friend's friends" did not consult a lawyer after being let in for 15 days, they are the biggest goddamned fools on the face of this earth and probably deserve to be deported.
IV core, please stop this kind of posts, unless there is a FIRST hand expereince.

Thank you desi485 ! I guess I should not be concerned then, because the cash surrender value for LIC policies are usually 30 - 35% of the premium paid excluding the first years premium (which in my case wouldn't amount to $10000). Just to make sure that I got this right, the term CASH SURRENDER VALUE used here is for premature termination of a life insurance policy, correct?
Also what about gifts made to the parents? I am assuming that as long as the gifts go from a US account to another person's account overseas, no FBAR is necessary.
I am confused now about the LIC cash surrender value and the requirement to file FBAR. I read the FAQ and the FBAR instructions but it doesn't say anything about the cash surrender value amount. It doesn't say that if cash surrender value is greater or lesser than $10000 FBAR needs to be filed. Does this mean that FBAR should be filed no matter what the cash surrender value amount is?
Here is excerpt from IRS FAQ ...
A �financial account� is defined by the IRS to include �any bank, securities, securities derivatives or other financial instruments accounts. The term includes any savings, demand, checking, deposit, or any other account maintained with a financial institution or other person engaged in the business of a financial institution. Individual bonds, notes, or stock certificates held by the filer are not a financial account nor is an unsecured loan to a foreign trade or business that is not a financial institution.� (From Instructions to Form 90-22.1). The IRS takes the position that both foreign mutual funds and life insurance policies (or possibly annuities) with cash surrender value are included within the meaning of the term �financial account.�

I feel your pain. This is total BS. I would suggest get an infopass appointment and narrate your story to the person you talk to and see if they can help get it moving. I have known of people in the past who have benefited from meeting an immigration officer in person.
Hi All,
This is my first post as I just came across this site while googling after my GC process got stuck once again. The details of my case are below, basically they finally started moving on labor certification in Dec 2006. All steps were completed and it was sent for approval in April but no word since then. The lawyer says it is on someones desk who is on sabatical or on leave and does not know how long it will be. It makes it more frustrating as more than 5 people in my office started the advertising phase in Arpil and completed labor cert by June.
Has anyone else had a similar problem at this stage of the process. After 6 years I am still not through the first stage of labor cert and the patience is running low.

Logically you are correct. But this is different from reality and you know this from lack of interest inspite of hundreds of regular visitors.
You be the judge.
Do you like the status quo of little help or you want to get more help n reach out?
If the person is already visiting and not contributing do you think you can convince them...? You cannot wakeup a person who is just pretending. There are lots of people coming here to post their issues and get answer. But don�t want to take part in anything until it�s affecting them or just have junk in their mind and call it as principle.
They find 100 lame excuses for not participating but could not even find one reason to participate. You are right if the person is not aware of IV�but what about people who are aware but wants others to work for their issues.

We applied for AP on Aug 25th NSC (paper filed). Got the LIN within 3 days and request for finger printing in 2 weeks. We got finger printing done on OCT 1st. Since then we were in wait and watch moment. We had tickets booked for India for Nov 16th. And to our surprise on NOV 4, IO decided to issue an RFE. We just got online notification that an RFE has been issued but yet to receive the actual reason why. This is very very frustrating.
Can anyone shed some light if interim AP can be applied at the local USCIS office? I have read conflicting stories across and it seems like interim AP has been discontinued (no matter what your reason might be). Anyone?...

We had filed jointly . Me with SSN and spouse with ITIN . Today spouse got SSN ( may be i had to wait for filing this year's tax return ). We should have applied for SSN as soon got the EAD ( and not wait for a job offer to apply for SSN :-( )
I think you should be good if you file an amended return with your spouse's SSN instead of ITIN.

As an immigrants point of view or Capitalism point of view it may be ok to get new young people and remove old people. But when you consider yourself as 40 year old person with 2 kids in high school losing a job is not a fun. As an Indian we have the option of going back to India and Survive when we lose the job here. But as an American they have to struggle. So some kind of protection is needed. That is not our work and thats what anti immigrants and labor unions may be trying to do. If your argument is accepted by everyone then America would have given unlimited number of H1s and greencards. Why Canada and Australia is giving without much restriction because Not many people are willing to go there. Most of the people are willing to come USA though this many restrictions in Visa.
I believe H1B Cap numbers were correct till 2004. But from 2005 demand was high for job but not at the rate of Corporations and Lawyers are asking. Actually they are trying to resolve the problem permanently. We have to wait and see whether immigration issue is resolved permanently or some compromise we will get.
I am quite sure that H1Bs are NOT bringing the wages down in the software sector. I am not in software but have friends who are. Many of the H1Bs they are getting from foreign nations tend to be adaptive, i.e., they can quickly adapt to changing demands of customers. In other words, they quickly learn new skills. If you can get better qualifications for the same pay, I don't believe that is cost-cutting. Also, people who came here in the past on H1Bs and are unwilling to adapt are also losing jobs. In management, nowadays, it is taught that if you can't adapt you perish. Those who are unwilling to adapt are losing jobs. That is a harsh reality of the industry, and a capitalistic economy understands it well. I hope the house reps and senators take all this into consideration in the LD and afterwards.
