My experience was just great. My company had inhouse immigration deptt and their own attorney as employees.. She was just great and very transparent on every process. She sent all the documents and updated my at every step on where I stand.
I really respect that lady, who was doing way beyond her job profile to keep us updated and well informed. never paid anything for the attorney service or GC filing except a one time fee of $500 when the company hired some attorneys on contract to get over the overwhelming request during July fiasco. The attorney also adviced me and guided me on how to leave the company and what is AC-21 and how to do that. So gave me a lot of pointers on how to choose a new attorney. Though I had a lot of conflict of interest with my company policy and management, one thing I always appreciated about it was that their healthcare and immigration was far better than any company in US. Now I heard its not great and employees have issues related to this. I paid on $15 for the delivery of the baby and that was the total amount I paid in 9 months .. thats it.
The crux of the story is , when choosing a company , initially these things really dun matter but in the long run these are things that really matters, I would suggest everyone who is switching the companies, make sure the company has the right healthcare plan and immigration services. Do not hesitate to discuss this with the HR. I always do and make it clear, whenever I am questioned by HR , I just tell them , "The company has selected me but I haven't selected the company yet." The HR also has the pressure to close the position they will provide you with all the different options. Do not always run for the $$$ a few 1000 $$$ doesn't make the difference as at the end of the day those also shrink with tax and deductions, but the perks like these stay and pay more than $$$

You said you live in NJ, you supposed to have sent you EAD renewal documents to Vermont Service Center as per the USCIS link provided below:

Does that mean I am screwed? My package got delivered this AM at Mesquite, TX as per the tracking receipt.
Will Texas forward my application to vermont or do I need to send the package seperately to Vermont?
Thanks much!

Please stop posting stories and anecdotes about philosophical things like money versus family, etc. etc.
That is a sociological topic not immigration one. A person making his choice to try to settle here in USA or in India has nothing to do with this website. This website is for people who have already made a conscious decision to try to settle down here and obtain the Greencard asap which is the first step in that direction.
Making a choice between USA and India is something you have to do before you decide to contribute or join this organization.
Thanks for understanding and please discontinue posting on this thread.

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
Yes, You can certainly do that. If it would have been Year 2000 it was very simple but now in year 2007 it's bit tedious. I am Trying to explain as under. And this is not a legal advice just an opinion.
Rule:
-----
More than 180 days stay in USA (You will have to prove that) is a MUST condition for getting ITIN. The key is more than 180 days. It does not tell that stay should be continuous.
How to do it?
------------
1) Have US MULTIPLE ENTRY Visitor visa, generally 6 months visa are
granted. But that is 180 days not more than 180 days. No Problem.. Go to
step 2
2) During first stay of 6 months of stay in USA, get Canadian Vistor visa and
send your parents to Canada on the day before the last day of the
first stay.
3) After some days invite your parents back to USA. This will most probably a
another 6 month grant.
4) Do not call IRS for applying ITIN
5) Search for the bank in your area which requires and processes ITIN
application directly with IRS for the application of opening checking/savings
bank account for the people who do not have social security number. Every state and major city has such kind of
banks. Your regular bank may not be autorized by IRS to apply for ITIN on behalf of its
customer.
6) Go to that bank and tell the manager to open a checking account for
Visitor visa holder and from that point onwards bank will take care of.
7) Wait for 15 to 20 days and you will have your Parents ITINs mailed to you.
8) And in next return you will be able to claim them as dependent.
Note: Guys who did in year 2000 around did not have to take this tedious route. So you mayl get both kind of opinions in this forum. If somebody says just apply to IRS tehn that guy probably might have done it in at least 4 years back. But nowadays you may have to do as I worte. Take the advise from your CPA.

Unemployment is everywhere, the worst is in california. It does not matter whether its IT or any job. Some of the employers layoff the most talented and hardworking person.
I was thinking is there anyway for those having canadian permanent would reside, search for any jobs till the recession is over and come back to US. In that case one can accumlate the time in canada.

I got this RFE more than an year back. The birth certificate that I had provided did not have my name and just said "male child". So I had to provide the following secondary information-
1) An affidavit from my grand parents. Two different ones saying that they were present at the time of my birth.
2) Affidavit from the Doctor that he was the person who performed the operation.
3) Government issued Ids like driving license showing complete name with a picture.
Hope this information helps.

Zcool,
Sorry to hear that. My friend also got very much similar RFE for H1 extension. Company replied to the RFE with the help of one of the best attorney's. It has been almost 3 months since he replied. But no action so far from USCIS. He is using AP to travel to india. There is always a chance that USCIS may issue a RFE on your 140 as well. My friend is planning to change the employer to avoid this mess. Consult a good attorney to come out of this.
good luck.

Dude - think practically. If the billing rate that the company is going to get from the client is $70/hr and they keep only $5/hr then they have to give him $65/hr. If they have to keep him on the payroll, they will have to pay 7.45% in payroll tax, which is employer's portion of Social Security Tax and Medicare (reducing their rate from $70 to $65.1575). This means they will be making 15.75 cents/ hr (translates to $315 for a year assuming that you work for 2000 hrs - the remaining 80 hrs go in holidays - for which they may or may not pay). Even if they are outsourcing payroll, do you think that it will cost them less than $315 a year to pay him? even if it costs $0 - who would be willing to keep you on their payroll to make only $315 a year? Would you? and if you take unemployment insurance and liability insurance into account, the company would make a loss. If you owned a company would you follow this business model? If you are - you might as well just give your money for free to all your employees.
The only way you can get a company to keep $5/ hr and give you the rest is if you agree to a 1099 (and you cannot do that on a H1B - you need to use EAD for that). On a 1099 - there are other tax implications - now you have to pay both your share and the employer share of payroll tax (14.9%). And now since you are an independent consultant (which is what a 1099 is), you have to get your own Liability Insurance. To prevent people from suing you, you will need to form a LLC or some other type of corporation. You might want to get a good CPA to setup your company so that you can setup the right kind of company to benefit from the right tax deductions.
There is nothing wrong in making more money - just like you want more money, the corporations are out there to make money too. No one is in the business for charity. As long as the relationship between employee and employer is symbiotic, all is good. Once the equation changes, it is either time for the employee to say good bye to the employer or for the employer to off-load the employee from the corporate bus.
I have seen many posts in this forum complaining of "blood-sucking" employers and how they exploit employees. To me, that is the same as:
- programmer's guild complaining about us stealing their jobs or
- people losing their home and blaming the banks "for not disclosing terms"
- anyone who is blaming anyone else for their troubles
If you are being exploited, it is because you are willing to be exploited. Don't blame the employer. Blame yourself. If you don't want to pack your bags and go home when you lose a job and cannot get another one, don't blame the employer and tell others that they are "sucking your blood". Everyone is here to make money.
I understand what you meant..i forgot to mention in my post that if i expect the employer to keep 5/- only then i will take care of running payroll(means pay ADP to run payroll). I will pay employer to keep my h1b status.
I do understand there are expenses incurred on the employer side too.
Also i will work with the vendor on EAD but on W2. So no worries about liability insurance. But thanks for your informative post. I need strong information like you gave so that i dont take a wrong step..

Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Attorneys/Seniors,
....
The problem of changing employer you have to hold your current employer untill your transfer is approved.
.....
Incorrect!
One can start working as soon as H-1B transfer is filed, if the beneficiary has (or had) H-1B status in past. Google for H-1B porting.

She says that only H1B expenses should be paid by employer. Period.
I have written a check to USCIS for my H1B application fees.
It may be possible that the rules changed after I wrote the check in 2002.
