I am quite happy with the answer from Logiclife. That is a logical response considering the difficulty we have with fund raising. Though IV has been there for just three months, we did a damn good job of raising the awareness and mobilizing people impacted.
My interest in raising the question was to gather the feedback and see what happens. Even though IV is focussing on BECs and retrogression right now, if this campaign is successful, there are other problems to solve down the line. Once we get the Greencards, are we going to stop looking at problems faced by others and go into our own shell like most of the current H-1B holders are doing right now? Or we take the same fighting spirit from this endevor and continue the efforts?
I am predicting that extending the V-Visa provison would become the goal of atleast some of us after getting a Greencard. I have few friends who could not bring their spouses here and I feel their pain.
Jinger,
Would you be constructive, bring some friends, organize and lead an effort to get this provision and prove you are unselfish? Criticizing someone is easy, but when you start doing the job, you would find the difficulties. So I urge you to move on to action, not criticism.

Without you we would have never known this breaking news.
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.
thanks

You do have to pay taxes on any dividends you earn. Your brokerage firm will send you an 1099 form at the end of the year detailing your income.
If you do sell stocks and otherwise have capital gains or losses to report, you will typically file a Schedule-D form along with your 1040.
To my knowledge, as long as you are a "passive" investor, there is no problem with investing. You cannot be an "active" investor when on H1-B, unless you have another H1-B that supports your "active" investment activities. Put simply, if you are buying stocks and holding on to them for a period of time before you sell, you are fine. But if you plan on becoming a day trader (very good time right now to make and lose money, with all this volatility) then you likely are an "active" investor.
I am not a lawyer, and the above is my common sense understanding.
One more additional question on this, say we open a trading account now and we buy shares in 2008 , but do not sell it yet (meaning no income was made in 2008), then will there be any impact or any additional filing to be made for 2008 tax returns, or how does stock trading relate to tax returns...

Great news! The Hatch widows bill (which removes the requirement that a couple must have been married for two years before a US citizen dies) passed and included in that bill were provisions extending the religious worker green card program and the Conrad 30 J-1 physician waiver program. Each of these programs were extended for three years. The EB-5 regional center program for immigrant investors was permanently reauthorized by the Senate yesterday. The House must agree to these amendments before they go to the President and I do not yet know whether the bill will go back to the House...

Thanks for the reply! That was very helpful .
Do I still have to be employed by my original sponsor when i get the appt after 6 months?
If I return to the US in a few months do I still have to option of filing 485 even though I've already applied for CP in India?
Yes. If you are CP, you must intend to work for your sponsoring employer. That does not mean you need to work for that employer in India, but when you receive your GC, you have to work for the sponsor.
You can file an I-485 later if you wish, even if you are in the CP queue...if you enter the US in a way that permits AoS...that is, I don't think you can enter on a B1 tourist visa, then file AoS, but if you can get an H1b, you will be fine to file I-485.

Many of us can run into these situations since we all have a long long way to go for our GCs, it will be helpful if this great secret information can be put in here so that all of us already know what to do when we hit this issue.
well yes and no. depends on a lot of factors. If there is nothing wrong with your case, you dont have to worry.
Only issue is - getting a denial and applying for MOTIC means spending money and unnecessary tension and if you are out of the country when you get a denial - it gets extremely complicated.
Once preprocessed, there is no reason for USCIS to touch the files until the dates are current so hang in there. Do not stress.
Know what is going on and be prepared.
Playing it safe and stressing and trying to get total control over your situation will only result in added stress and not good for health.
I would strongly recommend that people must really come forward and lobby hard for atleast a recapture bill or any other bill. We MUST all start working extremely hard to get our issues resolved and IV is a wonderful platform.

I would not worry about it at this point, this seems to be an internal matter, cases are often transferred to other service centers for speedy processing, sometimes it could be an error also, whatever this might be, this is not something you have control over. If the I-140 becomes overdue you should have your employer call or write to the service center.
Hi Attorney,
Today i saw hard LUD on my I -140 and i got an email again from uscis stating that my I-140 is PE and will be processed in the service center where it is transferred to.(recently transferred to NSC from TSC)
(as i already mentioned my 140 was approved in 2007 :confused:).
Please suggest .
Any one had similar experiences ?

Hi,
My husband and my EAD and AP renewal time is approaching. We were thinking to do it ourselves but we don't know how to do it.
Could you please guide us in self filing?
a) Is there E- renewals? What about photographs for such renewals?
b) What documents are required for renewing?
c) Where can we find information regarding EAD and AP renewals?
Please help us. Thank you very much.

Augustus.

This shouldn't be a problem if you are a law obeying citizen :D How do you find out the status of the FBI name clearance? You wait until PD becomes current and nothing happens then place an inquiry with BCIS?
Thanks!
This is indeed exactly what I did. After my PD (01/2002) became current on 09/01, I waited two weeks then inquired about the status of my case: the first time, they told me they were still waiting for the FBI name check to clear and, the second time to find out that the name check had been pending since...08/2004 (when I filed I-485):mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

H4 visa could be expired but was she having a valid I-94? I-94 is the one which validates her stay, if she had a valid I-94 then it should not be an issue...
How do I know the expiration of I-94? Does it say it on the I-94??

The GC is based on good faith intention to have a permanent long term employer-employee relationship between sponsor and beneficiary. There is no prescribed time period to define �permanent� or �long term� in any law book. Each lawyer has their own interpretation. As most of the GC is thro sponsors, the sponsors has more power. If sponsor can able to successfully demonstrate to USCIS that beneficiary had a bogus intension to have a permanent emeplyer-employemet relationship, used employer just to get GC, then it may be a problem that leads to revocation of GC too. This is mostly possible in future employment category peoples. If any one worked for long term with sponsor before (or after) getting GC, then it is difficult for sponsor to demonstrate to USCIS that beneficiary had a bogus intension to have a permanent emeplyer-employemet relationship. Further, as AC21 gives 180 days as a time period for changing employment, 6 month period (either before or after getting GC) may be sufficient to work for sponsor.
