The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
You should be able to claim them as dependents in your 2007 taxes if they pass the "substantial presence" test. You can get 2 additional "exemptions" for them in your return. IRS looks to issue new ITINs only during tax filing (so when you mail your return next year, you attach their W7s with your filing). Or your parents can open a savings bank account and if they have any "income" in the US, they are entitled to an ITIN any time of the year.
I have just applied for ITINs for my parents who spend 6 months every year with me. They pass the substantial presence test and I plan to file amended returns as soon as I obtain their ITINs. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me any reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

Can you explain in detail what your experience was and what did you get (H1 or J1)?
While I was looking for residency, one senior doctor told me that I should wait and get H1. At that time, I was so interested in getting residency at the earliest that I did not take his advice and instead got J1. It was only towards the end of my training that I realized that to get a waiver is so difficult, in my speciality branch. i had to get O1 visa first to buy time to look for J1, which I finally did in a remote western town.
Now it may be easier, since many VA hospitals are hiring for J1 conversion, which was not so at my time.
Again, if possible, try for H1.

Babu, thanks for confirming that this stupid rule is in fact true. I always wonder how USCIS gets crafty in making new rules.
It will be easier to just get the stamping done in INDIA. That way, will get stamp till 2010.
Looking at reply from Babu. I think Babu. got I-94 corrected through Amended H1 (INS) . and then travelled to INDIA. While returning from INDIA
by the last updated rule He would have retuned with a valid I-94.

School can't force her to continue on F1 visa. Only thing she need to send school is her copy of pending I-485 receipt and thats it.
Exactly. Let them cancel her F1 status and she will automatically change status to AOS pending.

I somhow feel that Name Check problem has not been taken care of within its entirety. I agree with one thing that NC will be "improved" but has not been and will never be streamlined the way actually it should be.
Reference:
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/fil...Procedures.pdf
I may be wrong but my doubts are as under:
------------------------------------------
(1)180 days period is from the "Date of FBI Name Check initiation. It is not
from 485 receipt date. Nobody knows when USCIS will initiate FBI Name
Check. So I see a big playground for USCIS to play if it decides to play.
What if uSCIS sends FBI name check initiation after 2 years of 485 receipt?
Do we have a way to know or keep an eye on USCIS about this? At least I
do not know and if somebody has the information please share it.
(2) "If 485 Otherwise is processable" then USCIS can go ahead without
waiting for NC check... What if USCIS decides to keep 100000 cases on
rack eating dust just by not moving the processing date for particular
service center? This you can see right now.. USCIS is making Texas slow
day by day not moving processing date. I remember Texas was ahead
with comparison to Nebraska around May to August 2007. If this happens your case is no more "processable".. Yes you can say that you are not stuck in NC queue but you will be stuck. USCIS may come up with altogether different startegy... To align processing times with FBI processing and FBI NC initiation. That may screw the things further.
Expert or differed opinions please?

If 200 more people contribute, we can open an UK branch of IV to address issues faced by high skilled immigrants (who can't even pay 20 bucks a month) in UK. May be these high skilled immigrants are very low paid since they can't even afford 20 bucks a month for this noble cause.
Please dont be rubbish to others. your suggestion to open another thread which make sense. BUT your contribution request and even talking their affordability to 20 bucks are too much talking.

Why shud he call the anti immigrant by that filthy word when all or most of what that guy conveyed with his post are nothin but pure facts. There r hundreds of gultis doing all sorts of illegal stuff in the name of immigration without any shame. Theres a saying that goes like..."If u tell someone as it is, he protests and kicks on ur chest" which seems very appropriate here.
Look man, don't make me say this, but you leave no choice. I know you are a Pakistani terrorist sympathizer only inciting infighting on the forum between Indians from different states. Why are you so focussed on what "hundreds of gultis doing", why not talk about what pakistanis are doing?
I try not to stay away from calling you out and posting a negative post, but you just won't stop doing this over and over again.

I recently got my wife's PP renewed from DC. not NY sorry
Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
You may have to call them up for this info
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
I did it at home - using my digital camera and photoshop :) . There are tons of places that would click the PP photographs!!
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
You can't collect it that evening. The will fedex it to you within a week
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

Chandu, here I found the LINK (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html)
"When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued."
This is not new, it has been there for a while and almost everyone who googled AC21 would have read Murthy's page.
Whatever Murthy has mentioned is her opinion. Aytes memo has not been more stricter than Yates memo but has been more clear.
So lets continue to send letters

Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India.
I stopped traveling through countries that impose transit visa; Eventually, transit visa requirement will be lifted, if no one flies.
