His PD is July 2006. He would have gotten the 2 year EAD either way. EB2 India is June 01 2006.
Isn't there a rule that talks about folks getting their 2 year EAD only if they are two years (or some timeframe) away from their PD?

CITI Bank usually send the 1099. But if you have account with ICICI or some other Indian Banks they do not send it. Also check if your bank in India deducting Tax (Usually called as TDS) on interest you earn. That amount you can deduct on US tax return as foreign taxes paid.
You are right. I just confirmed also with ICICI(my bank) and they do not send 1099. Damn.
So what should I do now. Do I report the interest income from prior years (its very small.... less than $200/year) and file TD F 90-22.1 form this year.
How big a issue is this. Should I be very scared?

I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.
Thanks.
It is always good to wait until you get the Receipt Notice..You never know what will happen..Dont take Chances with USCIS..

I know about the "same or similar" clause in AC21. How many of you have got a RFE/Problems based on just this clause alone ?
Also, If you filed labor 3 years ago for software programmer, in 3 years, you could have become a system analyst, DBA or system Architect etc etc, So, how does "same or similar" matter here ?
Also, It will be helpful if we have a forum category "AC21", Admin, please consider this.
Thanks for all your inputs.

If you are not using EAD why renew it? Unless you are one of the people who applied under the new scheme (free EAD and AP for life), you are just wasting $340 + $305 = $645 (per person).
You can easily wait till you move to new place before applying - if at all you want to apply. If your EAD & AP have expired, I am not sure if the new EAD/ AP will be considered as a "new" application or a "renewal".
free "EAD and AP" for life what are you talking about??

It is puzzling that EB3 World didn't move a single day. Per my calculations, it should move three months in each month.
My calcuations were based upon that there are about 100,000 applicants (excluding Indian) between year 2001 and 2005. Currently, China Mexico Philippine's cut off date is the same as ROW. I just assumed that there are about 35,000 visas available for ROW including China, Mexico, and Philipine (the remaining 10,000 for India) per year. In this case, it should move by three months in each month.
I accept that there are lots of loop holes in my calculations as it didn't move a single day.
Does anyone have a rough idea how many non Indian applicants out there between year 2001 and 2005?
I think many of you can do more accurate calculations based upon more reliable sources. Please show me how.
Many people say uselessness of predictions but I think we can predict to certain extent.

Clif is right I used EAD to work part time while still maintaining my H1B and full time job. During this time I traveled numerous times outside US. The IO never asked where or how many jobs I had. Before using EAD to work part time I confirmed this with my attorney and he said the same thing as clif. So its safe to work part time on EAD as long as you maintain your full time job.
There is nothing illegal about working part-time using EAD while working full-time on H1B. It has nothing to do with last entry into US. In fact, EAD has nothing to do with entering US. To enter US, you need either a valid visa or valid AP. IO won't even ask you about your EAD.
EAD and H1B are mutually exclusive. If you are maintaining proper H1 status (ie, have a valid H1 status and working full-time for the job for which you have H1), it is completely legal to do flip burgers or drive cabs using EAD to supplement your income. It does not affect H1 status. I have confirmed this with multiple attorneys on multiple occasions.

Thanks for the effort. Obviously it is not their interest to release the data, that's why we need to figure out a way to force them to discose such data. I think it's possible to get a court order to request such data.
If you look at the visa bulletin, you can be absolutely sure they are not seriously counting EB3 numbers. There is no description/predictions or whatsoever on EB3 category, which means they have no solid data to support their EB3 cut off data. They are just waiting for the 245i flood to come.
Atlfp,
I have had several conversations with the staff of the CIS Ombudsman on this issue. Believe it or not, DOS has been resisting official efforts to release these figures. Just last week I also talked to the Office of Communications at USCIS about this issue -- no promises have been made but it is an on-going battle.
Also, if you are familiar with the tables in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics -- those are aggregated tables -- this year (FY 05) for the first time there was a limited release that showed us EB subcategory approvals by country. Such data exists for every year and every table in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics but is not released to the public -- why? Because the Yearbook tables have been done a certain way since kingdom come. We are also trying to change that.
So yes, we are trying, but it seems to me that it is not in the interest of an inefficient organization to cast light on the nature of its inefficiencies.
Will keep members posted on this.
best,
Berkeleybee

What if a person has active TB and is currently being treated? Doctors are saying it will take 9 months to complete the medication.
Q1. Do we need to wait till 9 months to apply for I140 and 485?
Q2. When will the medical records be opened and monitored? is it when my 485 is being processed or before giving EAD?
Q3. If doctor says we have TB on the form, will i be queried by govt to get it checked again, or will i be rejected?"
You should have no issues and your case should not be denied based on Medical grounds read more on the following

I attended the event at UMass Lowell. Congressman Marty Meehan and new governor elect Deval Patrick were at the event. The topic of discussion was "global warming". Both governor and congressman took off after the event but I had a chance to talk to their staff.
One of congressman's staff went through the folder I provided with IV documents but he works for energy related issues and will pass to the staff dealing with immigration. He did provide me the senior staff member who looks into immigration issues. I'm going to email and try and meet him. Congressman Meehan is part of the judiciary committee related to immigration.
MA members> I'll send out a separate email to you guys and each one of us should contact and educate the congressman though his main focus seems to be the climate change issue.
Great effort. If all of us have the same kind of drive and effort, we will surely get the law passed soon.
Pls follow up with the staff and also try to get an appointment with this lawmaker. If you can go and take some other MA members along, it will be helpful.

A little update; I was asked to send some of these pictures to Sveriges Ornitologiska F�rening (main ornithological society), and the pics are now on their home page (http://www.sofnet.org) with a short story (http://www.sofnet.org/index.asp?lev=2125&typ=1) . No biggie, they accept user contributions, but flattering just the same. I can now sort of say I've been published! :) Maybe the link to my home page can lead to something (uhh, no pun intended).

I am willing to take the lead and the initiative for sending faxes to congressman for the CIR.
I am going to take an off tomorrow for this and dedicate my whole time for this.
I need some volunteers who can help me in putting up the letter together for this and other activities.
There are different action items required to do this
1. Draft the letter which communicates in a clear and precise way our agenda.
2. Get as many number of immigrants to send the fax.
3. Step by Step guide or a page on website where an end user can enter the information and send the fax.
No Donation or travel is required for the rally, just a few minutes of your 24 hours is required to do this.
Only who want to volunteer for any of the 3 action items please reply to this and no one else.. this is my humble request... I am a very focussed guy and do not want any distraction in this activity. As part of the 3rd action item another thread will be posted with the instructions on how to do that in the quickest and the best way.
I am putting up a poll and at the end of the day I'll send the conf call number as well for the volunteers.
And thanks in advance to all the volunteers. and also if you don't volunteer doesn't make you any less than a volunteer, if you support and help building this community stronger and much closely knitted.

Hello,
My wife got her H1B approved last year and her start date was 10/01/07. She started working towards the end of Nov. She did not get any paychecks for 2007 before Dec 31st and started getting paid only in 2008. So she did not receive a W2 for 2007. I am about to file my tax for 2007 (had filed an extension) and would like to know the following.
1: I assume this should not impact me from filing a joint return. Am I right ?
2: Would I qualify for the stimulus check for $1200 since both of us were employed in 2007 ? Since she did not get a W2, I was not sure if I would get only $600.
3: Both of us have filed for I-485 and our applications are pending approval. Would there be any problem with her I-485 in the future (like any query) since in 2007, her status was converted to H1B (from H4) and she did not get a W2 ? I am being told USCIS does a complete background check on the applicant with respect to each status he/she has had.
Thanks in advance.
For point # 3 you can always tell USCIS that she joined the company in Nov 2007. It is not required to join the co. on Oct 1 although one gets converted to h1b from h4 when you change status in US. There is something like late joining also hence no pay !
Obviously the employer should have paid her but if she is working thru a desi firm I would understand what would be the case......
I do not think this will impact your 485 as long as you have pay chqs. coming for her in continuation thereafter and w-2 for 2008 meets the Amount on h1b LCA. USCIS will generally look for w-2 and might ask for recent pay stubs.
I have been interviewed for 485 (random pick) and they did not care to look at my pay stub even when I asked them to.........
Ensure that w-2 has the correct numbers else it can be trouble.
Consult a lawyer as all the above is my experience and limited knowledge.......
Hope it helps!!
