.... One example is that US citizen has obligation to report global income in his US tax returns, wherever he live/work. :) everything comes at a cost.
....
This is true for all green card holders and most H-1B visa status holders as well. As long as one is resident US person for tax purposes, he/she has to report worldwide income.
One does get credit for foreign tax paid (Even if one is US citizen).
I suggest that you talk to your CPA.

You should be able to come back on H1B and she on F1 because she does not have an 485 pending. Unless she has 485 application pending she should have no issues using F1. If you go this path you can apply her as dependent later (post marriage) only when your PD is being current and USCIS is accepting applications.
You have to weigh if you get married immediately are you able to file her application before the door closes on aug 17th (your wifes :Birth certificate, marriage certificate, medical report needed) vs. go on as is and file her in next opportunity. ALSO..REMEMBER if you marry immediately then there are few more things to think about...i.e 485 pending dependent with F1 will need EAD and AP before they travel out of country...
This is my opinion...I am not a lawyer. Please consult a lawyer for legal advise
My employer has decided to concurrently file for my I-140 and I-485 in EB2 category. The application will be submitted to USCIS by Aug 1.
This has turned out to be a nightmare for me. I am on H1B right now and plan to get married to an F1 holder in Jan 2008 in India. I am worried that my to-be wife will not be able to return to the US on F1 after we get married in India. (She is not included in the I-140 and I-485 application right now.)
Has anyone faced this problem? What are my options?
I was able to come up with the following options. Any comments on these?
Should we get married (like today!) and include her in the I-140 and I-485 as a co applicant. Chances are that the lawyers will not be able to process the changes in the application in the given time frame.
Should I abandon the I-140 and I-485 application and continue on H1B.
Should we get married in US and never travel to India while she is on F1. Later she can convert to H1B and then we can travel?
Thanks in advance.

I think my question is that :
Can one change the job immediately after receiving the GC? Somebody mentioned that
Its risky to quit your job the day after you get a GC. USCIS can revoke the GC saying you never intended to be remain employed at your LC advertised position. The burden is then on you to prove otherwise.Most attorneys advise staying put for a minimum of six months to be on the safe side
My question is, how USCIS would know if you change job after getting the GC?

I understand your frustration. My PD became current after years of wait and I was very excited and hopeful that at last this GC jorney will be over but to my greatest disappointment my application wasn't approved for months and finally PD became U. I know how it feels when PDs bounce around like a soccer ball but despite that I was very happy for my Indian friends whose PD jumped 3 years in 2 months only to go back to 2003 again. :(
We have all seen this PD back and forth drama for years now and what we need to do is to stick together in difficult times and work towards the common goal (which I think is 5882 at this time). There is a legislation introduced to get rid of the coutry cap also but it's not supported by everyone in IV as you can imagine.
Sorry, If I sounded that way, I understand that nobody is having honeymoon here, but EB-3 2005 is better than EB3-2001 and EB-2 Current is better than EB2-2003. In a situation where Congress in not buzzing from it's stand of 'No New Green Cards' for anybody. We have educated them enough that they are not new Green Cards, rather the truth it they know it all, they know the issue more than most of us do, but it's just they pretend to be ignorant. In this scenario I would ask them for atleast a fair system, if they want to keep everything else unchanged..

Thats the first thing I tried O wise and learned master! But the Swift 3D movie is gone as far as I can tell, yet it's remnants remain. Mystery to me. Try it yourself, but first rename your movie so you don't ruin a good one. then import the swift 3d movie, publish, and then try to get that sucker out of there. I even tried throwing holy water on the frames thinking that that would help. Didn't. Any more suggestions? I am all ears, Massa.

BTW-Swift 3D is still awesome. The size is a killer though, going to have to try to figure a way around that or something.

My understanding is the same, I don't think this is anything new - again we don't know on what basis do they select cases to be transfered to the CSC or VSC though.
Whenever I checked it was always like that, atleast for the last 6 months! What is new now? All the centers showed a processing date even before.
[QUOTE=maddipati1;153370]GOOD NEWS!! I THINK 485 AOS LOAD IS SHARED BY ALL FOUR SERVICE CENTERS
See the link below
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp
It shows 485 EB AOS proc date for all four centers including VSC & CSC.
I think they are ignoring Bi-Specialization system for the Jul-Aug07 485 filers.

Request a new blood test for chicken pox antibodies , it costs more but you can do it. However the blood test will turn to your favor only if you had chicken pox during childhood.
Other option is to get the vaccine from other hospital which has the vaccine and show that report to your immigration doctor.
All the best !
No they did blood test only for HIV and Syphillis. Dr wanted us to take chicken pox vaccine anyways.

I can only comment on my experience in Indiana. My son has aged out of my green card process and converted to an F1 visa. Since I still claim his as my dependent on my tax return we were granted in state tuition rates at Indiana University.
Of course I had to submit a copy of my tax return to prove it but it was well worth it.
He has been in Indiana since he was fourteen, graduated from high school here but that did not make a difference. It was the tax return that clinched it.
I did have to submit an appeal, but it was one form.
Things like this are infuriating when ten states give in state tuition to illegal aliens. Then people on this forum wonder why some of us are a little bitter and twisted about benefits being given to that section of our community.

I would appreciate if anybody can shed some light on this issue. There are applicants in 2003 and 2004 or even earlier from coutries like India and China who started their immigration process way before this retrogression happened. They were and still some of them are hoping that their GC would come soon. From late 2005 the retrogression started.
Can these applicants write to the USCIS that they should not subjected to this retrogression since they were not notified of this retrogression before they started the process. In that way the USCIS can clear atleast their backlogs and the priority dates can move forward for the rest of the applicants. There may be a large group of such people in IV forum who all can come together and start this process.
I am not trying to discredit the applicants later in the process, but with the earlier applicants getting their GC. it will move the priority dates forward.
No one can be told about retrogression before they start (which is why it is retrogression). Of course you can write, but USCIS is not going to follow it unless it really plans to clean up its act. And if it does plan to clean up its act, your mails are not really required :)
There are lot of inefficiencies in the process. Look at what happened to people who went through BEC (worst affected, 4-5 years wait), then look at those who had to wait 2-4 years for the labor (but managed to stay clear of BEC). And then look at those who "Complain" that their PERM did not go through within a couple of months. And then look at the people who have very late priority date and yet claim to be a "victim" of USCIS (it really cracks me up), and that they are stuck with the process (even though they are in the system for less than a couple of years or so).
All of these are personal stories, USCIS could be a little kind hearted and follow the suggestions you make -- but they are not required to be so.
Also on a side note, their new system is probably going to be helpful in determining the new visa bulletin, but without processing efficiencies, it will be of no use.

Your employer can cancel h1b without telling you anything. He would be liable to provide you a return ticket to your home country. What are the chances of this happening - well - I know one case wherein this hapenned - although the consultant in this case wasnt joining the other company.
Think of the worst case scenario - best thing is to get your H1 transfer filed asap. Once you have the transfer filed, cancellation shouldnt have any impact.
Regarding lawsuits, probably you have a non-compete clause - check your contract once again. Lawsuits are primarilly filed as bargaining tools. Its cheaper and easier for the company to go after you - its a big harassment for you though. How many consultants are placed by the company at the client. If the number is more than one , the client can step in to mediate. Your company will be willing to negotiate as well as it runs the risk of losing the client. If you are the only consultant, then probably your client may need to step in and pay some thousand dollars to clear up the issue.
You need to be patient, nice and quick to act when you deal with your employer. Get your transfer process started asap and then get back to negotiation table - try to involve the client as well.
best of luck and hope things work out fine for you.

People here need to read posts before responding. Clearly Eager Immi is not the one doing labor substitution. Why does everyone want to attack at the first chance before even looking at the facts? Are people making themsleves feel better by pointing fingers at others?
heh Eager Immi, first off your employer is not blackmailing you.....infact you want a free ride. If they did your labor and I140 they have every right to ask you to join their workforce.
Secondly, no one has forced you to do anything. If you do not want to join this new employer DON'T. Stick with your old employer.
You are being selfish here by wanting the new employer to sponsor everything for you while you maintain your "cushy" job with your client.
Please look beyond yourself for one moment and think from the new empployers perspective.

Should be 3 options.
1. Yes I will have to go back. No way for me to continue here anymore.
2. I will not have to go back, but I will choose to go back because I am sick and tired of waiting.
3. I will not have to go back and I am planning to wait few more years and see what happens.
