Why dont you just work for your new employer in december on voluntary basis and take the salary in Jan as a signon bonus?. This way you will have a clean record of 6 months on H1.
because its illegal to work for an employer you are not authorized to work for.

Thank you gemini123 for the quick reply. I'm in Texas and have to get it renewed in Houston. I was talking to a broker who would get it done in about 10 days as I'm planning to travel to India next month.
He asked me to send the original pasport along with the I-94. That didn't seem right to me.
Should we also send a I-485 receipt copy?
Also, I have a expired visa in my passport but my H-1B is valid till May 2008. I'm planning to travel to India through Amsterdam and use my approved AP for reentering US. Would I need a tranist visa if I'm just chaging planes at the airport? Thanks!

If you missed last time In 2008 then dont bother. You can still claim with 2008 tax filing. (If you are eligible).
Dont do these mistakes
1. File Married Filing seperately and later amend the tax return. You will do a Big mistake and many times case is screwed and you will lot of problems. I personally handle some of the cases where client screwed the case and we correct the tax return. But for CPA also is a Big pain. and most of the time IRS people will confused and you will be keep getting demand letter and they will treat as a seperate tax return.
2. 2008 payment was just a estimated payment only. This will trueup with 2008 tax filing (in 2009).
Pl consult with CPA / Good tax preparer who has good knoweledge how to handle immigrant taxes.

Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.

it is a great idea. It takes a lot of work to organize an event like this. We will get a lot of publicity and it will be a good fund raising event as well. Would you be willing to take a lead on organizing an event for us?
I wore a IV T-Shirt and a cap when I participated in the Long Beach Half Marathon in October. A few of us in So.Cal chapter thought we will participate in a turkey Trot run with IV T shirts and caps last thanksgiving but that did not happen. I am going to register for Long Beach Half marathon this year as well and I plan on using my IV T-shirt

USCIS is already aware of this. They have been notified through AILA and our letters are also working. IV has also been pushing for more broader AC21 regulations for a few months now.
Our request from IV is to keep sending the letters. Please send letters in thousands - not like 50 to 60 letters.
Everyone must take initiative and push other members. It is a very importasnt campaign.
It is very much possible that a lot of you may be a victim of AC21 denials. It is your call.
Please take responsibility and everyone must come forward and bring others also into this campaign.
This is encouraging. chandu, I read somewhere (mostly on murhty) that CIS will be publishing new AC21 soon and it is expected to be more stricter. Is this just the speculation or any other indications are received?? any idea? I am afraid that what will happen to people who already have used AC21 by following what currently exists???????

Not to throw more rocks into the gears here.. But unless the S2 has been updated (which I don't follow really), it was using the chip that was in the Nikon D1 I believe?
If that is such the case, ISO800 is noisy and you can't really shoot above that.
Disregard this if it is newer tech and I'm completely off base.

You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
Whatever side you are on, there is no way you can liken kamikaze mission to a suicide. Kamikaze mission was of bravery, people willing to die for their countries -- that is the ultimate sacrifice. People committing suicide are just cowards who aren't strong enough to face life problems thrown at them. I am sure a lot of us here have lost investments too, but we are going to pick ourselves up and continue to make our lives -- not end it.

rsk73, your job decides if you can get in to EB2 or not. if you are working for MNC and apply for PERM, the current market is bad and they will ask you to wait for 6 more months. so, I don't believe this is a right time for PERM application - my 2 cents
P.S: normally, these kinds of EB3 to EB2 porting questions are a little sensitive in the forums but 12th year H1B.. damn.. you are surely qualified for EB2, problem is, your job should. All the best...

if 110,786 cases are due to retro...
then these cases are either (2nd China/India, 3rd, and other workers)??
considering 140,000 visa numbers available, and other catagories being current, only portions these retro cases will get visa numbers by this year..
no hope for PD advancement???

Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

I used to be client of Gowda couple of years back and I did not like the experience at all.
My situation was little different. Gowda's firm was the de-facto firm used by my employer although I used to pay all attorney fees out of my pocket. In spite of me paying for his fees the firm always put my employer's interests ahead of mine. My employer then was a typical blood sucking desi consultancy shop and used pending GC as one of their leverage to make employees stuck with them in spite of poor pay scale. As far as my own experience goes Gowda's firm happily played along with my employer in the grand scheme. They denied me any update regarding whether my labor was cleared as well as didn't send me any original approval notices/receipts etc. at my employer's request. When I raised lot of noise I was finally told I can no longer have direct access to the attorneys and have to route my requests through my employer! I wised up, cut short my losses and ditched both of them to join a big respectable company loosing my earlier PD and approved labor in the process (which I'm sure my employer must have sold back when LC substitution was legal). I finally received my GC in September.
Your experience maybe different if you directly retain Gowda without involving your employer. Competency is not an issue here, conflict of interest is.
I agree with SSA. I retained Gowda without employer interference and still I did not get proper service and guidance. Further I found that Gowda is not keen to handle EB cases, compared to Investor categoy cases and the rates are exorbitant if there are any RFEs or representations for smaller persons. I moved away to Ron Gotcher and found his fees are dead cheap and his services are thousands of time worth, compared to the fees I paid.

Thanks for bringing this up.. This is a legitimate concern.. Lets just hope this doesn't happen to any of us... Although hope is all we can do for now...:(
Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .

Mine was paper file...
