Not sure if this is the section to post this.
I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.
My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.
Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.
Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.
These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

That memo became an subject of sunday morning talk shows on Fox, CNN etc and now even USCIS has rescinded from it.
I have filed my I-485 before my marriage and I need to be on H1-B VISA to maintain my spouse's H4 Status.
Couple of weeks back there was a leaked USCIS memo mentioning "The agency could also consider extending employment authorization to the dependent spouses of certain skilled workers. For example, USCIS sould allow employment authorization for H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B principals where the principals are also applied for lawful permanent residence and have extended their non-immigrant status under the provisions of AC21"
Memo USCIS (http://www2.nationalreview.com/memo_UCIS_072910.html)
Please let me know if there are any updates.

What if the house democrats become so pissed off and block the vote in the house?
The House operates very differently from the Senate. If Republicans in the House are behind a bill the Democrats in that chamber are powerless to block it.

We can't mount fire-fighting operation on each and every front. Let's ignore them.
We have a purpose to tell, educate, highlight the issues we all legal immigrants face. This has happened under this Republican Regime. Various reasons - mainly lack of funds, lack of green card numbers, lack of staff etc.
We can continue writing small specific personal letters to lawmakers. Then as a group we address employers asking them their effort to help them best employees.
I was browsing the jobs forum on craigslist and i was shocked to see some user urging people to call Senator Cornyn to not push H1 and Eb visa increases.

ronnie is right, using EAD even for a part-time job means losing your H1 status.

Hi zeusjerry,
Thanks for your reply. :)
No, I am not planning for GC now but might apply for E3 visa in future so just want to keep all my visa in same passport.
1. Do you know any process of H1 stamp transfer on different new citizenship passport.
2. Is there's any wages difference between H1 & E3 ? Because I have heard while you are on H1 agents will take atleast 30% commission from your salary.
Regards,
Nirms

Hi Louisiana,
How do we go about setting up a State Chapter? Are there just the three of us from LA? I am in NOLA (d'uh, my alias is a dead giveaway).
What's the next step?

Is that normal to have the same I-94 number on my renewed H1B and my wife's H4 approval notices?
Seems it is a mistake that my old I 94 is given in H4 extension application. Do I need to apply for correction? Any Lawyer / Member, please confirm. Thanks in advance.
I-94 is what determines your legal stay in the US. Since you get an I-94 only during your entry into the US, it is normal to get the same I-94# on any subsequent extension of status applications filed within the US. Your attached I-94s on the I-797 approval notice are proof of your continuous status since your white I-94 cards might be expired. But do keep the original white I-94 cards with you as you are supposed to return them along with the new I-94s attached to I-797 notices, when you leave the country.

Hi,
My wife and I are currently working on EAD and have used the AP to entry the US. We will be going to the Canadian consulate to apply for Canadian Visa (want to go on vacation). I had the following questions:-
1) What all papers are required?
2) How long will they issue the canadian visa for? I am planning on obtaining a multiple entry visa. When I was on H1 they issued me a visa which was till the end of my H1 expiration date.
Thanks.
Not sure about the rules now, but when I did it in 2002, it was a single entry visa for 6 months - though it is single entry - going from US is an exception - from US it is multiple entry and it costed $50 during those times.
Documents - appp form, fee, your legal status here (485, EAD etc..), bank statements and usually they ask why r u visiting Canada and you can say "tourism"

Hi All,
I am planning to paper file my wife's EAD renewal and AP for both me and my wife.
Questions:-
1. Can anyone who paper filed recently post information on filing EAD/AP
2. Since my wife filed for I-485 last year and paid $1010 fees,she falls under FEE WAIVER for both EAD and AP-I believe she can renew EAD/AP unlimited till she gets GC?
3. Can someone post what did they do additional for filing as FEE WAIVER?
Any detailed steps on paper filing with FEE WAIVER would be great.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
everonh1

Currently i have my I-140 approved an that is all i know. To be honest, PD to me means "the day my I-140 was approved". Is that true??
My wife lives with me on H-4 and she will hopefully get an ITIN this year. Now, how i understand the system, i cannot file for I-485 petition until, the date of my I-140 approval becomes current. Please verify to help me understand this system. Thanks in advance.
PD = Priority date. That is the date that gets assigned to your case which is the date your labor/perm was filed or the date you directly filed I-140 if no Labor/Perm was required. You can only file your 485 once the visa date in the visa bulletin for your EB category is either current, matches your PD month or is a date later than your PD date.
One you file for 485, you can avail benefits like EAD a.k.a workpermit for you and your wife who can choose to use the work permit to avail any job. There can be an argument made that still keep working on your H1, but EAD helps spouses work legally who are otherwise on H4 and are not allowed to work.
Again check with an attorney for legal advice, this is just a nutshell of the process. Hope it helps

Friends;
My EB3 AOS was filed in July, 2007.
I have a valid H1 upto July, 2010 and my EAD expires September, 2010.
My wife and daughter have valid H4 upto July, 2010 and their EAD expires September, 2010. Both have used EAD.
APs are expiring in July 2010 for all of us.
My employer has filed for H1 extension.
I have couple of questions regarding my family�s statuses;
1. If my wife and daughter do not want to renew their EADs/APs (or renewal gets delayed beyond September, 2010), what is their legal status in US as they don�t have a valid I-94?
2. As they already used EADs, I think they are not eligible for H4 filing. Can someone confirm?
3. Does anyone have experience of renewing Driving license without EAD or H4 during AOS?
Thanks
Venu

Sorry, I was not sure what test I missed. I thought everything was done and was mentioned in I-693. I do not have copy of I-693 I submitted. I will try to get it from doctor. Pending of that, is this common test which I must have it and mention it on the I-693? I need to submit just TB Skin test or everything?
