I agree with you all. Thank you helpful_leo for starting this thread. It is very important to suggest amendments to the language of PACE act so that the following groups are included:
i) People who have already received a Ph.D. from an accredited US university.
ii) People who will be graduating with a Ph.D. from an accredited US university after the passage of this bill.
As helpful_leo pointed out in the 'PACE amendment suggestions' thread, we should suggest that the language in the bill be amended so that the proposed adjustment of status benefits will apply to any individual who can provide the following two pieces of evidence :
i) Received a doctoral degree from an accredited US university and,
ii) Has been subsequently employed in the US for at least one year.
- Do you know when the PACE act will be up for discussion in the senate?
- Does the current language suggest that doctoral students who qualify will be able to directly file I-485 without even the need for filing I-140?
i) People who have already received a Ph.D. from an accredited US university.
ii) People who will be graduating with a Ph.D. from an accredited US university after the passage of this bill.

Guys, I think we should have some media coverage for the USCIS and DOS actions. Since immigration news has been hot in the media for a while. It will be easy to get channels to cover this story.

Administration Slams Door on Thousands of Legal Immigrants: AILA Condemns Agencies� Bait and Switch

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The American Immigration Lawyers Association strongly condemns the bait and switch perpetrated by the federal government on thousands of intending immigrants who have waited in line for years and were following the rules for obtaining a "green card."
On June 13, 2007, the U.S. State Department announced that, as of July 2, individuals seeking permanent residence ("green cards") through employer sponsorship finally would be allowed to proceed with their applications. Applicants would have a short window, possibly only through July or perhaps August, to complete their paperwork.
Those intending immigrants, immediately and at great expense, rushed to gather final documents, complete their paperwork and obtain required medical exams. Many sent their applications off on Friday, June 29 for arrival on July 2 at the Department of Homeland Security, for the last phase of the multi-step process that leads to a green card.
However, on the very day the door was to open, DOS and DHS slammed it shut.
On July 2, DHS and DOS announced-based on no different information than they had on June 13 when they announced the opening of this filing door-that all applications would be turned away.
"People ask why those who come to the United States illegally can't just follow the rules," said Kathleen Campbell Walker, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "But here people followed the rules and did everything right, yet without warning or explanation the door was slammed in their faces. This hoax perpetrated by these two government agencies is unconscionable, and is an example of how badly our immigration system is broken."
AILA calls on the Administration to do the right thing and keep its promise to the people affected by this sudden reversal. AILA also calls on Congress to get it right this time and fix our badly broken system.

You dont have to get NEXUS. It is easier if you do, but you dont Have to.
The wait during regular commute hours in mostly 15 mins. There may be exceptions. However your facts are wrong. NEXUS is not a reqt.
Yes you will need a stable job in Detroit. I am not in IT. I would be transfering to Detroit office of my company but serving same clients that I am serving currently.

I say try to get as many shots as possible at your PCP. For TB and HIV tell him that you have been to India lately and want to make sure everything is okay. For other shots tell him that you are considering to apply for a medical/dental school and need to get vaccination records, which you don't have because everything was done in India. Take all those proof to immegration doctor, he will accept those records.
My wife in fact joined dental school last year. She needed only HIV.

It appears that most of the one sided agreeements mentioned above are not legal. For eg if in ur offer letter u have 2 weeks of notice period from your side and company says they can termniate you without any notice period then its not legal.
I think only 2 side agreements are legal and all other agreements even if you sign are not legal.
(pls confirm with ur lawyer ...)
Yes , i am with you.
LostInGCProcess , whats you said is also right in few cases, But in cases of employment it could not be.
If i ask a person to sign on a piece of contract , to be my slave ..Would it be legal :-)

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks
1. You can walk to your local SSN office and ask them about the lockdown on SSN.
Ideally if you are near 40 quarters of SSN contribution I will stay here few quarters longer to make it to 40 quarters. This way even if you are in India you will get some money when you retire ( few 100 dollars are not bad). ( I know about SSN and its problems but still there will be something there)
2. There is nothing in 401K laws that says you can withdraw the money before you turn 59.5, but you can try to establish a case of hardship and see. The predefined cases are here
401khelpcenter.com - Hardship Withdrawals Give Access to Your 401k Savings, But at a Cost (http://www.401khelpcenter.com/401k_education/hardship_withdrawal_article.html)
2.1 The Penalty is not 40% it is only 10%, (usually the way it goes in 30% tax + 10% penalty gives a total of 40% loss). But as someone suggested you can withdraw it in phases and not pay the taxes, in that case you will only pay the 10% penalty. I will consult a tax attorney to get more information on this.
also r2i websites are great help.
Good Luck

My 6th year H1B is expiring on April 28, 2008. I applied labor through PERM on October 2, 2007. I got the audit letter on December 3, 07. This audit letter does not state anything about the issue of the audit letter. However, the sentence �The job duties and/ or requirements are beyond those defined for the job by SOC/ O*Net code an Occupation Title provided by the State Workforce Agency� is highlighted in this letter. The letter also request for Business Necessity Letter and Recruitment Report. My case is the EB2 case for a Project Manager position with a minimum of 2 years working experience. A couple of programs and knowledge in the field are also required for this position. At the recruitment times, there are no applicants applied to this position. The company has approximately 16 employees including me.
I�m very confused and not sure what to do because my lawyer refused to answer any question. In my case that the Labor Certification is still pending (under audit) and my H1B is expiring in April, I wonder if I should start taking vacation now or go to work in another country for approximately 6-7 months and come back later to use the rest of my H1B until October 2, 08 to meet 365 days period? After October 2, 08, I can then start filing the H1B Extension for 1 year. Or should I wait until my I-140 approved and come back around October 2, 08 and do the H1B Extension for another 3 years? Or should I stay in US until April, 08 and take vacation until October, 08 and then comeback around October, 08 to file H1B extension? Also, do I still have to be employ full time with my current employer during this whole period? Can the job only be part time? Also, do I have to get pay the whole time from my current US employer during this whole period? Thank you very much for your help.
Highlighted area is the problem. Is your lawyer recently graduated? EB2 category is meant for minimum 5 years experience and whne your title is having the word "manager" it becomes more stricter definition.... In my opinion EB2 is always about minimum 5 years experience and that is where your lawyer screwed you. And yes the reason highlighted in the audit letter is real reason and it is direct indication of this conflict.

Based on what you believe that "BC has a much higher standard of living than Boston?". I hope that is not one of those silly annual surveys in which they interview low income and beggars on the streets and rate mainly based on health care and welfare for them.
Regarding raising kids, if you believe that doing that around prostitutes, lesbians and drugs is a good thing, so go ahead and live in BC.

I am all for abonding H1B, when did IV promoted H1B program, we have this mess today due to H1B and itz loopholes,
I don't use word slave very lightly, but we need to accept the fact many of H1Bs are handcuffed with current system, We need system similar to Austrialia, Canada a point based system or very similar to Nurses in US they get GC before even coming to US.
H1Bs are truly pulling the wages down, I know I did when I came here I have no argument with anti-immigrants with this subject, but giving GCs to these H1Bs will have fair chance to compete in Market
Corporate leaders such Bill Gates and Senators such as Kennady do know this issue and have deep understanding but they don't give a rat about it,
Please do not say negative things against the H1B visa guys. Remember if it was not for the H1B, you guys would be in ur home countries right now. Let us all please stop abusing the VERY priviledge we have. H1Bs are FREE to change jobs at will. If you dont like your job CHANGE IT or GO BACK. Slaves cannot change jobs OR go back to their own countries. We cannot expect the system to start bowing to our wishes everytime we dont like what we currently have. No i am not an anti immigrant, Yes I am from India and stuck like the rest of you in retrogression. Right now i would walk a million miles to obtain an H1B visa for my spouse who is stuck in limbo coz of this H1B lottery.
Also this discussion is FUTILE. IV now after 2 years of slogging has a "NAME BRAND". Logiclife has explained that this name cannot be changed. It is a good idea to be called "Legal Immigration Voice" but it is TOO late now. Instead of discussing this let us help the Current Immigration Voice name to achieve success.

Right now i would walk a million miles to obtain an H1B visa for my spouse who is stuck in limbo coz of this H1B lottery.
Also this discussion is FUTILE. IV now after 2 years of slogging has a "NAME BRAND". Logiclife has explained that this name cannot be changed. It is a good idea to be called "Legal Immigration Voice" but it is TOO late now. Instead of discussing this let us help the Current Immigration Voice name to achieve success.

sam_hoosier,
You are correct to the 'could' part.
Let me begin my explanation by stating my position on debt default:It is bad, it' NOT worth it and don't ever do it. With the explanation that I will be providing below, I don't want to sound like I'm encouraging debt defaulting, which I'm absolutely NOT. There are severe consequences for your credit, if you default a debt.
So, with that accusation out of my way :), let me explain the logic behind why I think OP is ok. Only thing that is in OP's favor is statutory time-limits, he had dodged the debt bullet for 5 years,afaik, creditors including the collection agencies lose their right to take him to court for a debt older than 5 years from the first date of default. Unless, OP makes some kind of partial payment now, which will bring the debt to current. At this point it will be a mistake for OP to do that. Collection agencies force him to do that mistake with all kinds of scary tactics -- He got to have a thick skin to settle the debt with whatever he can afford once for all.
Secondly, collection agencies buy debt in bulk, like 1000 defaults at a time. Collection agencies go through a rigorous screening processes, including threatening phone calls, attorney-letter-head notifications etc, for each debt, even before they can take it to court. When they could not talk to him or trace him or find any utility bills of him for 5 years, they would just consider him as MIA. Unless this guy is a rich dude with Hummers parked outside his mansion all the time Or has couple of rental properties on his name, they will not risk further investment on this particular debt.
Like always, my 2 cents.
I stand by my suggestion that OP must seek help from a Govt or a not-for-profit Debt Help or the best thing is to seek Attorney's help if you can afford. Don't go to the collection agency or to any of your debtors first.
Best!
Sorry to say, you have your facts wrong :cool:
The SOL for WA on open ended accounts is 6 years, and credit card debt is considered open ended account. The collection agency definitely has the option to take him to court. Now they may not actually do it, but the OP was concerned about the risk of being taken to court and that risk is definitely there.

We should put end to Lou's lies. Let's be creative. We thought of the flower campaign, we all have higher degrees. There should be a way how to stop this guy. I think we are the only ones who can do it.
By the way, Lou's ancestors came to USA also legally like us. What is the difference then? Really the only people who have the right to criticize the legal immigration to USA are the native Americans. I know that this argument would never success with the general public here but I believe it's true.
