Tell me about it. My wife didn't have a fancy law degree but she had a decent job before we got married and she came to US. She doesn't have any specific skills that will qualify her H1b but she has a MBA. So there isn't much she can do in terms of furthering her education. So she's been stuck at home for the last 4 years.
I have been now for 7 years and still waiting... my wife who graudated law with top honors in a top university in india and was pracicing with a leading corporate law firm joined me in US and to make it good we spent around $65K on her law school graduation here and then another 15K on bar exams preparations for NY and CA. She managed to pull through all this. we decided to have a baby and take care of her wihtout day care the 1st 2years. now my wife sits home since she cannot file a H1 though there are willing employers becuase she has stayed here for 6 years on h4 and my llabor filed 2001 was still in BEC.... what can i do... i left a Director job in fortune 50 company and joined as consultant so that i can make use of a pre-approved labor, then another regression happend and i am still waiting to file 485. I just want to let my wife to work for a couple of year and make use of the effort she spent in her US law school and bar exams and want to return back to India.... but when can i get that 2 years.....

One does NOT need EAD to use AC21. I don't understand the panic.
Yeap. I am also thinking on the same line. Why this panic?I am really confused.:confused:

In the state of Mass delivery is covered by the State provided you show you don't have insurance. Millions of single moms are delivering and many are teenagers and many are w/o any insurance. Delivery is considered an emergency and you will be covered. Keep your spirits up and bear the storm.....it always gets darkest before you see light again.
All the best

I don't know about mass but nothing is free in US. 911 is also not free. 911 bills big amount to the insurance company or sends you a bill if you don't have insurance. If one is not able to pay it it goes to the collection agency or state or charitable trust. All these features are free for Illegals. So better have insurance.
As per obama's new rule, the company will pay 2/3 of the insurance and you will have to pay 1/3 of the insurance. The company will get the amount back as tax credit. In california the laid off person has to pay $100 for insurance and the rest will be paid by the company.
Regarding EAD you are in Status and you can apply for disability insurance from the state. your husband can work in EAD.
Don't stress yourself. Layoff is common these days.

I hope that this holds good for existing GC applicants too. When perm was introduced the existing applications was pushed to the BEC black hole. Many of us had to wait for a couple of years while watching the newer perm applications getting approved.

Yeah.. what next? shower caps? then groceries? C'mon man. Overdose of anything can be detrimental.
Just conveying a message is not sufficent. It should be the RIGHT message in a proper way. Flowers was good, because it was the first time something like that happened and it was unique.
No, we are not going to abuse this and we won't be sending stuff over and over. But stoppers have a very Specific significance: to educate and differentiate between legal and illegal. A stopper says "Stop the reverse brain drain"...A stopper would pique people's interest becase we are typically lumped in with illegals, and a stopper does not exemplify what illegals are. Illegal immigration's message is: "legalize us and help new guest workers come", our stopper says "We are already legal and are already leaving, fix this before we all leave"

I filed my I485/EAD/AP on August 7, 2007. Does this mean that I do not have to pay any fee for EAD renewal now ?
The instructions say this -
Special Instructions :
If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.
Yes if u paid using the new HUGE fees, then u dont have to pay.
Thats the reason they increased the fees. So you have to pay only once.
As per my lawyer "DO AS WHAT THEY SAY IN INSTRUCTIONS" and always keep a copy of everything sent, including postage receipts, delivery confirmation etc.

I diagree with you...Indian film Industry have very good directors, They are no way inferior to Hollywood. Firstly you can't compre them with Hollywood because they have differen audiances...Hollywood have money power so their movies are technically better, but as far as quality of movies Indian film industry is very good...It caters to all tastes. There are Shyam Benegal, Basu Chaterjee, Govind Nihlani for people who like simple senseful movies there are Karan Johar, Yash Chopra, Mani Ratnam for expensive, hip hop movies. There's RGV, Hirani, Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra for different story based movies. In my opinion caters to wide variety you need to pick up by your taste...
I do not think there are good film institutes in India. I have interacted with many passouts from FTII and other colleges and found then lacking something. One has to travel outside India to learn and expose himself to the high quality film education.
How many of the directors you have named received any film degree?
I am not saying all Indian films are low standard compared to Hollywood films. We have trash films in Hollywood too. However the quality expectation and quality acceptance level of the viewers is low in India. Thus directors try not to push the boundaries so often.
You cannot blame everyone on budget. Indian films have big budgets by Indian standards. You cannot convert their budgets in dollars and compare with Hollywood. In my experience , I have found that by and large people in creative professions in India are hesitant to push the envelope and try to do something 'safe'. Very few can think outside the box and those few are able to produce world class work.
All this can change once viewers in India get more educated, critical and demanding. That will be the end of mediocrity and start of world class work.

Another important question is: Will USCIS allow AC21 without an approved EAD?
One does NOT need EAD to use AC21. I don't understand the panic.
In fact, one can be working at Employer B and can claim AC-21 for Employer C as a future job.

My analysis is that immigrants tend to be better educated than native born because we (immigrants) need to double our effort to succeed. We learn proper English and try to correct our spelling. Native Americans speak English from the day they were born and sometimes can't translate the spoken words to letter.
I don't believe that there are races who are brighter or better than others. It's more of a culture and upbringing that makes the difference. Imagine those Spelling bee winners, who are now accustomed to US way of living. When they grow up, got their own family, will they instill the same values as their parents did or will they be like American Dad/Mom, who let their children pursue whatever they want?
I guess 3rd or 4th or 5th generation Indian-Americans will not differ from any other Americans in their values and upbringing. We will all get Americanized, in some way.

If point sysem is introduced the big losers are immigration lawyers as they cannot make money in multiple stages. So no wonder if they oppose. Of course there is some limitations but its sucess depends on rules and regulations. Also there is going to be a Cap and there is going to be a provision to prevent displacement of US workers as the worldwide demand is always here. But main advantage is it will bring down the work load of various agencies like DOL and INS also employers.
the reason it will never work is not the lawyers. the immig lawyers for the most part are honest people.
the problem is the employers. employee's loss is employer's gain. it is simple enough. if the point based immigrant is allowed in with a EAD or a green card (like in canada/australia), the employers lose out big time.
The only reason h1 exists is because employers want cheap labour. That is why they want more h1s. Because h1s are justified from business point of view, that is why it is illegal to charge the employee for the h1 costs.
But they never talk about how the h1s get screwed.

There are 3 work categories,
at least 3 queues each for three stages.
the first queue had at one time, rir, regular and then bec, perm added to the mix.
EB portings.
07/07 havoc
name check delays.
a single queue at the end.
bottomline, PD monthly graph is arbitrary.
if your PD remains current for at least three months in a row and everything else is clear, there is good chance you are out of the pipeline.
Excellent point. I think it would be almost impossible to predict an exact number since people would be in and out of the line becz of above factors but atleast they should be more reasonable than from all current to all na to 06 to 03....

Check ICICI. I think it is called a NRE account. You can fund it in Dollars and Rupees and it could be repatriated in Dollars. So just open the account and have them deposit the monies India, you can draw it here. This kind of account is for NRI's who earn an income in India and want to access it here.
There is a limit I think but it must be like $25K..
Good Luck
If you have an NRE or NRO account, the money cannot be deposited into those accounts from India. This is my personal experience.

It's cheap, and long term free advertisement. I would say IV should distribute attractive non-controversial bumper-stickers, instead of flyers which end up in garbage cans

Buddy, your tone sounds hostile and as I said we're staying here by choice - but let me tell you this, after getting an MBA (with financial aid) from a decent school here, staying here for a decade, getting into upper management of a large company and having US born kids, I'm relocating to India after the summer. I've just secured admission for my first born from here and it went without a single glitch.
So, YES, I've tried it, I'm pretty darn willing to and I got a strong pair of balls!

llc and s-corp are same for the situation you brought up... however, you gotta be mindful of the "corporate veil"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil trap... which can affect any company llc or corp... dont worry, there is nothing bad in it... just make sure that you keep real good records and separate business operations from personal...
further i doubt that s-corp or corp is a promotion over llc as your post seems to suggest...
anyway... your choice is not bad... and neither is mine...
disclaimer: many experts dont consider wikipedia a reliable source of information.
the low risk lies in the fact that any adverse decision you may have to take ever (God forbid) like bankruptcy does not affect your own personal credit history and assets. I am not sure whether the same exists for corp or not. So I may be wrong regarding the low risk factor of LLC. But I always had the notion of starting any venture as an LLC and then moving on to a corp.

The USCIS is required by regulations to issue a temporary EAD if they cannot process extension in 90 days. They, however, do not issue temporary EAD anymore in violation of the regulations. So if more than 90 days passed and you are still waiting, take an infopass and request IO to call service center where EAD is pending and request to follow procedures outlined in the USCIS memo
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ElimI688B_081806R.pdf
(print the memo and take with you). Do not leave until they do that, request to talk to supervisor if IO refuses.
Upon receipt of Form I-765 requesting an interim EAD, local field offices are required to perform the following tasks:
• CLAIMS Verification
o Underlying application remains pending
o Determine if RFE has been issued, thus tolling the 90-day adjudicative requirement
o Form I-765 remains unadjudicated
o Biometrics have been captured—if not, refer to ASC
• Contact NBC or Service Center to initiate EAD production—either Interim or Non-Interim
• Provide Notice to applicant acknowledging status inquiry.
Even if EAD expired, you can continue working up to 180 days and be covered by INA 245(k) (i.e. your GC is not affected). Employer may be sanctioned, however. Employer may ask you to take an unpaid leave also.
