Higher salary should not be a problem at all. Important thing is, the salary should be equal or above the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level. PW also a survey of wage by DOL. It does not mean that one should not earn considerably more than average. Lets see an hypothetical example,
A young Software engineer joins microsoft using AC21 and dates Bill gates son/daughter and marry him/her. Bill gates increase that person salary to 1 million, but he/she continuously doing same SW engineer job. In that case 1 million salary should not be a problem for AC21, because it is higher than PW in seattle.
(Dont ask me why not if a person marry Bill gates son/daughter they can come in family category)
Ramba,
What if I am working as a contractor with a govt agency. The agency offers me a job but salary would be 10K less than my current salary, but with better benefits. However still new salary is more than what is required to pay for similar job at that place i.e. if a company is filling for a new H1B. (the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level)
Now in this case, if the salary is 10K less than what is specified in my I-140, will I hear any music from CIS? This is not hypothetical, but real dilemma I am facing.

Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.

Could you please pledge an amount ?

I got an RFE for I-131 for both myself and my wife. They have asked for absolutely everything (I-485 receipt, I-140 approval, I-94s, I-797s, marriage certificate, Passport copies etc). As my lawyer said "they have thrown the kitchen sink at you".
I dont even know why - but the amount of documentation they have asked for seems absurd just to issue a travel document.
BTW - my EAD from the sample application was approved!

Chandu is one of the active folks/volunteers who is helping us more that we are helping ourselves... His push and constant nagging are coming as +ve reminder who couldn't send letter due to hectic schedule or are still Procrastinating ( there is a huge chunk of people like this ) . At the same time there are a certain gang of folks who will never send letter , never support anything - just eat the fruit of other's labor and be proud and happy !!!
My personal request to Chandu would be - Pls continue the push and nag but keep it above the beltline. Let's not create 5 threads but do the push 5 times in 1 thread.
I'm a supporter of Chandu and other IV folks like Chandu - so dont take me wrong.
Thanks for the encouraging words :) I promise, not more than 5 threads :) Come on folks lets have atleast 5 threads.
I have not been very active on this campaign because of a personal situation but want to do what I can.
At times, people just need a push. When they see 5 therads with bold topics, they do feel the push otherwise - people just carry on with hectic schedules and forget to do it even though they intended to do it.
Like a member "crystal" said sometime back "even eagles need a push to let them know that they can fly" .
I am stopping with these, but it would be great if members take it up from here.
IV is for everyone and we want everyone to participate.

ofcourse she cannot change her status until oct 1st. How ever the sluice gates for the new h1 quota open on Apr 1st and will be gone in days. My question is Does she need her H4 approved to have her prospective employer file the I 129? (or) Can she just provide the notice of action she received for her H4 extension filing to show that she is maintaining status?
I also want to know the same...

There is nothing funny about our state in US. Unless the humor is very dark the relevance will be lost. The idea can't bee to make another Monsoon Wedding.
There are many ways of telling a story. It can be either with humor or sentiment or any thing else. If we are presenting a story that was meant for telling problems (like h1b/GC process) presenting only problems will not achieve our goal in publicity. Show something that audience like (most of people like healthy humor I think) and include your concept/problem in that so that it will get in to people. Otherwise it will be so called award movie with lot of tears and sadness. Even that would work if it was presented with lots of creativity.
Any way problems are not only in US and they are there everywhere. I am also struggling with these Visa issues (GC waiting since 2002), but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had any humor in my life here in US. I didn’t understand your comment against movie like monsoon wedding. Please elaborate.

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

Call all doctors in your area. When you call them, make sure they put you on their waiting list(in case somebody cancels).
I would even drive 3-4 hours to find a doctor for the medicals. Without the 693 you are asking for a rejection.

i believe that the unity among indians in UK is far greater than that of indians here in USA.
On my last trip to london I had a brief glimpse at the clout of Indian community there, they are very strong and united to make their voices heard, no doubt Tony Blair acknowledged.
I have almost decided to let my american dream rest in peace, now I am looking at immigrating to Canada, in my last 5 years of study about canadian society , i have noticed it to very liberal and many of my friends both indians and americans who settled there have settled for life, many of them work across border in USA either in detroit or in seattle but they are not interested in moving their homes here. So I think i can pursue my dream of free world and enterpreneurship from there.
H1b status and pre GC status is a big quagmire of blackholes, I am not interested in putting away 10 years of my life waiting for GC.
Screw GC , Canadian PR is there, if nothing works my home-India is there ...

unmarried then why not marry a US citizen..... that will take care of all your "problems" says AjameriBaba..... :D
Well said adhantari.....When I look at few of my friends who married USC and how simple their became after that and how well they grew professionally, I sometime
wonder why more folks don't follow that path.
That is the advice I give to people from India in their early 20s who come to US.
I tell them not to spoil their lives over the PERM-I140-I485. It sucks the energy of their lives. One will easily lose 15 years of their life without much professional growth.

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.
lol you are complaining about 4% tax? :)
1. not sure about this...normally you need a SSN or TaxID to open a back account here...however some banks dont require it...which is what illegal immigrants exploit.
so if its done without a SSN or TAXID then you may get away without paying tax.
However some companies wont pay you if you dont have a TaXID or SSN
2. worst of the 3 ideas...cause u will be paying individual tax rate...of around 30% or more

whatever be the issue about the debate (doesn't everyone come to this forum to gain something or ask a favor) Past couple of days I have being confused if my my decision about using the AC21 was the right thing to do as many peers advised me against using the AC21 and maintaining the H1. His article on the EAD vs H1B definitely clears up couple of doubts which I had.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
Where are you located?. East bay?

Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks
