This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
The family benefits are explained on the ss website but there is no clear information about how the worker will get the benefits. On further digging, I found a document which indicates that the worker must be in the US to get the benefits.
i read that they will send a check to india if u qualify. where did u read otherwise?

All your friends who got 221G are not telling you the truth. Was all their paperwork complete and ok? Probably not. No friend will admit their mistake and fraud. So they are telling you half story and blaming it on others. 221G is a good thing. It shows government is looking at possibe fraud and security risk seriously. National security is very important and highest priority for us living in US. H1B visa as a whole got a bad name due to fraud. It is not just employers but employees are also responsible for it. Employees are not illiterate or dumb to not understand any fraud. I wish more serious work is done by the government on every greencard application. If the system has clean cases, no anti-immigrant will point any finger and say the whole H1B system is bad.

This reason is preposterous at best.

The reason is obvious. One less immigration visa if the kid is a citizen.

Thanks for your reply "WeShallOvercome", The question which you answered is on top of my head from so many days, I asked some many people and they are not sure, Thanks your help
One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
I do know that you guys will be safe on your H1 and H4 status. I do not know for sure if she needs to go out of the country and re-enter on H4..I've heard something like that before though..

call ur airport, I remember a friend got his I94 extended based on new I797 at the airport.
BTW- if u have an approved I797 and an expired I94, u are not out of status....when u travel next time out of country...keep current docs with u and when u reenter...the POE officer will give u i94 based on ur latest I797..
What I dont understand is when u entered US in may 06, with a I797 of 2010
, why didnt the POE officer give u i94 until 2010?
That's because my current 797 was valid till Jun 2007 and he said he can only stamp the date that is on the current 797. I guess it depends on the POE officer and in my case its unfortunate that it got messed up. Someone in the forum mentioned that he got it for 3 years. I think its very very YMMV :confused:

hi Pdnov2005,
i was talking bout pdfs in the begining of this thread that talked bout some congressional documents requesting higher H1 quotas for fiscal yr 2008 and 2009
:) infact if quota is increased and duplicates eliminated, it ensures complete usage of the new quota (if any )

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi
Did he also mention that to qualify for EB1 you have to be from Mars? :D

but this is a wish list..IV has some clearly defined actions
Lets figure out the next course of Action for IV in the best interests of its members. Let's itemize each one of them and propose possible solutions. This thread is not for question / answers about individual situations but broad GC issues to be resolved by Govt/Congress/USCIS/DHS/DOL by way of proposing bills/acts/resolutions/amendments. IV must have done this but I didn't see an easy way of getting it.
First we could categorize them into different buckets such as that IV did for the forums. Just made up some to give an example. Some gurus on IV can suggest a better categorizing
Ex:
1) Labor
a) Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to of a fixed job position in the labor advt.
2) I-140
a) Allow One to file for two I-140's
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending

Lol, how abt employers (exclude body shoppers) deciding on what category you should belong to based on your performance. Because just getting a Masters degree from US school doesn't mean you are better than a Masters degree holder from a non-US school. And this is often proved in many MNCs.

How do we know if you have 40 credits?
Where do we check or compute this?
You usually get a SS statement in mail after you have filed your taxes. If you don't, then there is a way to request the statement from www.ssa.gov.

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 along with her I 129 to show that she is maintaining status?
Any one??
This is what the 129 instructions specify. I think that you will have to wait until the new I94 with the new dates is issued. Hopefully she will get it before April 1.
Change of Status.
In addition to the initial evidence for the classification you are requesting, a petition requesting a change of status for an alien in the United States must be submitted with a copy of the employee's(s) Form I-94, Nonimmigrant Arrival/Departure Record.

As a non-indian joining IV lately, I feel IV is more an indian organization. I had communication with one of the moderators (core members of IV) and he clearly stated that retrogession is in IV's agenda, but FBI name check is not in IV's agenda as an organization. How come retrogession which is mostly a problem for indian immigrants in the agenda of this organization, but FBI name check which is a problem for most nationalities not in the agenda of this group(maybe with the exception of Europeans)? There are over 100 members at a yahoo group, and some more registered at an immigrationportal forum with common problem of FBI name check, cases delayed for 1, 2, 3 or more years because of name check. The registered use names suggest that there are from all over the world, yet no core members of IV is caring about this matter with the exception of one person who scheduled a conference call with an attorney in PA, but did not help any more. Sorry about my humble sincere feeling.

This topic is useless...!!!!
What are you going to achive by knowing about US citizens..???
If they make a rule wherin US born child parents should be given the US citizen ship, hands down I can say immigrant will make use of this rule efficiently.:D:D:D:D:D
right. Either way one has to go through Labor pains. Atleast in this case the case is processed within 9 months, we dont have to keep waiting and looking for Visa Bulletins.
Also, I am sure in this case no one is going to try LC-substitution.
In addition, no one is going to agree to file a case as a 'future employer'. It will only be filed once the employee really commits to the sponsor.

I think EB2 India may be retrogressed only for the month of September as most of the visas will be used in August itself. The dates will rapidly advance once again with the new quota in October. I think it is very likely that EB2 will be compensated with the number of visas that were improperly given to EB3 last year. So I expect EB2 to receive those extra visas from EB3 quota next year as DOS will try to compensate retrogressed countries in EB2 for the mistake that they made last year. If this happens, EB2 may become current very soon.
I strongly think DOS tried to compensate EB2 this year itself with the visas that were improperly given to EB3 last year after it received the directives from the US Congress. But unfortunately DOS could not compensate EB2 with the lost visas this year as there were no visas left in EB3 by the time they realized their mistake about 2 months ago as EB3 used most of their visas. This is exactly why DOS made EB3 unavailable so that they can compensate EB2 atleast to some extent. By law they are required to compensate a category that was artificially retrogressed because of their mistakes. It is highly unlikely we will see any significant movement in EB3 ROW or retrogressed countries until the entire EB2 category is current as EB2 will be compensated from EB3 quota. If EB2 is compensated with the visas from the new quota in October, then I expect EB2 including India and China to become current by the end of the year or early 2009(before March 2009) itself.
Once EB2 becomes current, I think EB3 India will get equal spill over as EB3 ROW as both the categories will be retrogressed and will move equally(as per PD) with the spillover from EB2 and EB1
yes. there is a possibility of some retrogression for EB2 India/China in the comming bulletins. But that is just for few months and it might be a mild retrogression as long as there is horizontal fall outs of spill over visas.

If EB2 is compensated with the visas from the new quota in October, then I expect EB2 including India and China to become current by the end of the year or early 2009(before March 2009) itself.
Once EB2 becomes current, I think EB3 India will get equal spill over as EB3 ROW as both the categories will be retrogressed and will move equally(as per PD) with the spillover from EB2 and EB1
yes. there is a possibility of some retrogression for EB2 India/China in the comming bulletins. But that is just for few months and it might be a mild retrogression as long as there is horizontal fall outs of spill over visas.
