    Only god knows what processes, rules and regulations they follow. I am glad that i am maintaining H1B status with my I-485 and never used EAD.

    Its just so disturbing that you are at the mercy of USCIS who didn't know anything about how to look and process the application.



    when you use AC21 it means you used EAD right ?

    How can you use AC21 and still be on H1 ? could you give us more info on this pls.

    Hello,

    I have a few questions regarding the application for AP for a dependent, and I would appreciate it if someone would answer them.

    1. If the dependent is applying for AP, should I include the primary applicant's I-485 in the application packet?
    >>> U mean 1-485 receipt notice then no, just apply the dependents i-485 notice
    2. The dependent has an EAD. Is it necessary to include copy(ies) of the EADs with the AP packet?
    >>> Yes, it shows the current status as on EAD.
    3. If the previous AP has expired, is the applicationo process for a new AP different from that if a non-expired AP is being renewed?
    >>>No, apply as renew, I had done this last time and it worked out alright
    4. I was reading in some threads that the $305 fee will be waived if there is a pending I-485. Is that correct?
    >>>No way man, we have to shell out(if you are july'07 filer), even otherwise does 305 really matter?? its not worth the hassle of rfe,denial refiling etc(just my humble opinion).If possible take a look at my blog post, might be helpful in writing a cover letter.

    Thanks in advance!

    Dear ALL,

    I have written directly to the President-elect Barack Obama in response to an invitation to contribute to his Citizen Briefing Book in his change.gov website.

    PLEASE GO to this link and VOTE for this article in order that it may be taken up by the Charter to be presented to the President. Click here ---
    http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087800000004s1h&srPos=0&srKp=087

    The full text of the article is reproduced below:
    IMMIGRATION REFORM ALLOWING H4 VISA SPOUSE TO WORK

    "The time to fix our broken immigration system is now� We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace� But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America� Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should." -- Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor, May 23, 2007

    Well said Sir, and now as President-elect, we hope to see some action on above.

    This issue I bring to your attention may seem trivial, but throws light on darker side of the life of dependent H4 visa holders, who are mostly women. And since you endorse women empowerment, I believe you will give a serious look at this idea.

    Theres a strong lobby support for increasing H-1B visa cap to address the shortage of skilled workers. Theres also a strong lobby opposing it. This idea will satisfy both the lobbies. A very simple way to literally double the number of already available skilled workers in the USA without having to increase the visa cap. Allow me to explain....

    Currently the spouse of H-1B holders, the H4 visa holders are not allowed to work. Most of these H4 Visa holders are qualified, skilled and experienced. In one stroke of the pen, by amending this tiny rule allowing H4 visa holders to work, you will facilitate thousands, if not millions of already legal & available skilled workers in the US, to work. Please note that spouse on L2 Spouse/Dependent visas for L1 visa holders (intra company transferee's), ARE allowed to work through an amendment in 2001. And this can be used as a precedent. Even J and E Visa spouses (J2, E2) are allowed to work.

    Good For the Economy: While its now a norm to have a dual-income family where the husband and wife both work, its become all the more necessary for a family to just survive through these unprecedented economic times. H1-B visa workers typically stay on for at least 3 years continuously if not extend it for the next available 3 years. All this while, the poor H1B and his family have to get along with just one income. Moreover, the law also forces the skilled and experienced spouse on H4 to idle at home. This I believe is a loss of national productivity. Your statistics will prove how many H-4's are currently idling away in the US.

    Good for the Community & Social standing of Women:
    To keep the family together, H1 visa holders bring in their spouse on H4 visa. And then, they get locked in the house. Ninety percent of H4 visa holders are women. Women being, more susceptible to domestic violence by the partner, becomes even more prone to violence due to her complete dependence on the spouse. They become prisoners in USA due to spousal abuse and immigration policies that give their husbands complete control over their lives. Yes, the immigration system is broken. The immigrant women get protection under VAWA but non-immigrants are not covered. Even if a law to let the non-immigrant battered women to obtain work permit is introduced, it might not protect women whose cases are dismissed as non-critical. The abuser can further exert his control over the victim and convince her that he has changed so that the victim might not press charges. Thus the abuser gets encouraged to continue violence. Divorce is not an option because most non-immigrants come from third world countries where a divorced women has to bear the social stigma of divorce and will not be protected in her own home country. Because of the long queues for Labor certification application and retrogression of visa numbers, getting an EAD and Green Card takes longer.

    Way Forward:

    You plan to legalize people living illegally in USA (and working illegally), you plan to give them a low skilled requirement job visa, similar to the H-1B or L-1, only that skills required are low, and you will let their spouses work too. This will mean that the only resident visa holder NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK will be the H-4 visa holders.

    As a tech-savvy President, you may also want to browse this issue on Google groups and hear the voices of depressed, frustrated and more often abused women, here... Oops. I am unable to provide you the link as it appears to violate the change.gov comment policy (?). The group title is misc.immigration.usa and title is Why USA should issue the dependant visa holders work-authorization? Theres another forum under immigrationvoice.org you may wish to look up. Thanks.

    When people who have come to the US illegally will be able to work legally � the poor H4 souls (mostly skilled women) who have come legally and followed all the rules should be given a fair chance to contribute to the economy and better their quality of life. By a simple amendment, allowing the H4 visa holders to work, you will make a brilliant move, without upsetting those who oppose the move to INCREASE the current H1B cap. Please think about it. May God Bless America!

    It is very easy to write but difficult to do. Except for IV folks there are hardly any fighters out there for our cause. We have all seen the result....CIR that favors ill-legals but decreases visa numbers for the EB cases.


    You may also say ... In this country, no one gives it to you. You have to fight for it. :rolleyes:

    In 2001 when I travelled to India, I paid 1200 to fly NWA. I paid 1000$ in 2008 on Asiana. Very good service. Although airline costs have increased, price of tickets havent increased proportionally.

    Agree with the poster, treat airlines like a CAB. If you get good service, you are lucky.

    We should focus on spreading awareness about IV. I can't believe I was totally unaware of IV's existence until a month back. I haven't done much but felt strongly about what IV's doing. Me and my wife attended the rally and even contributed for the first time ever. We should brainstorm on how we can get more people on board and on how to transform members into contributors.

    Welcome! You may have seen posts from the core members about what IV is.

    IV is you, each and every member. Our strength relies on each and every single thing that we do as individuals.

    That being said - an excellent start is joining your local chapter. If you don't have one, you can start one and we can help!

    If you have ideas on how to spread the word, let us know, we can help!

    You should show some decency in replying to posts. Otherwise it reflects where you come from. - I come from a down to earth broad minded background where "we" together help and try to make lives better, .. but I am skeptical about you and your background because thats a selfish, mean and free loader character.

    By donating few dollars, you are not entitled to write anything on any forum. If you think that a thread is not for you, you should not post there.- Atleast I donated something , and I never brought up the point of donation, you were the one who came at me first saying, "Sell you plane and donate IV" It seems you have a problem with the people with the tag "Donor" and that is for the reason that your self conscious is making you feel ashamed of being a free loader.

    If you are a proud donor, good for you. :)
    But why dont you start a local chapter and do some field work instead of just writing a check and claiming yourself to be a superior guy to others.
    Don't even dare tell me what should I do and what not, I do what I can.Don't you think even once before writing you moron, what have you done that you can advice me????
    Nothing.. I wanted to write a lot, but you know what , you don't worth, loser.

    Just get lost....................I just don't believe that this kind of idiot species still exist in this world.

    Yes, I agree...we need some sort of intelligent Non -Cooperation Movement...
    But I am afraid when we cannot stand united on this group- with only 200-400 or so of the 9000 contributing, I am not even sure what kind of Non Cooperation will work here.
    We need to get United,,, that is the need of the hour..


    Its actually the strategy that is wrong. The numbersusa
    , zazzona etc is also a very small group but they use
    right strategy.

    At one hand you support H1b increase and also want greencard reform.

    Those are contradictory things. Unless IV starts working against further
    H1B incease , then only Corp America will start working on EB reform.

    actually thats the reason I like unitednations. Whats he says is very true
    (yes not very pleasant)

    To add to this.. Some will think that something good just going to happen since next year is election.. Not sure what makes them think that..

    Some are extremely negative-- They will say doesn't matter what you guys do,nothing will happen.




    People just don't want to soil their hands in cleaning their house but want others to do it for them.

    Lot of people consider it below dignity to do something about GC related stuff, many just want to live they way they are, no ambitions, no motivation to work towards a change.

    Just to add.... porting process is legit for EB-2 as well. EB-1 is current now. :p

    ***
    The Indian CRAB is the story of how a fisherman kept a basket with crabs, uncovered. When asked, he replied " They’re Indian Crabs - If one tries to climb out, the others will pull it back in, hence there’s no need for a lid "
    ***
    The Indian CRAB - Contribute - MSNIndia (http://content.msn.co.in/MSNContribute/Story.aspx?PageID=222e21f3-f981-4a9c-9f9b-a5706f249433)



    The CRAB STORY also applies to EB3. Whenever somebody talks about spillover to EB2, all the EB3s are against spillover and making comments that it's not happening this year. It feels like EB3s do not want EB2s to get GCs. If porting is legit, then spillover is also legit and EB3s need to accept that.

    Porting was always there and porting must not be more than 300/quarter this year (other wise EB2 PD dates would have retrogressed or gone back). Porting was not something started in FY2011 or FY2010. However, I do accept that the frequency of EB3-EB2 porting has increased slightly due to more US companies outsourcing IT jobs (bad economy -> more outsourcing to reduce costs{check the stock of CTSH!} -> demand for consultants -> resulting in firms like CTSH and small consulting companies agreeing to EB3-EB2 porting to keep talent). Outsourcing will not always result in all the US jobs to completely move to outsourced countries (I guess smart people in this forum already know that).

    There will be spillover this year and EB2 PD reaching DEC 2006 by end of FY2011 is a real possiblity. There is no need for EB2s to get all worked up when somebody ports or EB3s to get worked up when somebody talks about spillover. There is GC pie for everybody. Just be patient or do something to solve fundamental problems with GC process ( by participating in IV campaign).

    Everyone should have freedom of speech on a public forum.

    Unless there are derogatory remarks directed towards a person or use of offensive language is a no-no, but then what is plain humor and what is offensive?

    What is wrong with some one not agreeing to others? Only sheep walk in herds.

    Disagreement should never be a reason to ban a person.

    As I was explained SSA do not classify Economic Stimumus Package as a Federal Benefit. For them Federal benefit is a recurring payment of certain amount and the Stimulus package is just one off.

    Also, we should try and get our message across to IRS about dependents who can not have SSN due to the nature of visas issued (H4). IRS should update their system so that if first person filing the return has valid SSN, payment should be calculated as it would be if everyone has SSN. This would be lot more easy then issuing SSN and then filing 2008 returns with those SSNs.

    Any thoughts/ feedback?

    I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.

    If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.

    It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV

    Best wishes


    Thanks Dude for your good words.
    Well, I opened this thread just to have a knowledge about this which may not be useful now or in the near future; but you never know
    I am working for a telecom giant and they use larrabee as their lawyer .
    I, atleat, have very very bad experience with larrabee in combination with my
    company's immigration department.

    Thank you ksircar for your strong support. You are absolutely right and you have logically laid out the reason for the case well.

    Now it is time for gathering more support and momentum for the case so that we could do something.

    I am ready to contribute. So please others jump in and show your support.

    I really can understand how you and the thousands like you feel. Let me however point out something. All those who got to file the 485 now have just put their name in the que. When you join the que by filing 485 you will move much ahead of most. Having said this, I still feel that this is not a proper way that USCiS should be handling cases and we should send a strong message that when there are cases to be dealt with they shouldn't be ignored and over run. I am not affected by this situation and am neither a beneficiary of this July bulletin, but very very strongly support your point. Please consult with IV leaders and get their opinion on this issue. They have been fighting for all our issues and I am sure they will have a plan of action to deal with this too. Wishing you all the best and hoping all our members support you. ONLY A CRYING BABY GETS MILK. thats how this world works.

    Yeah, that's true if you're a white male or an immigrant. The rest can easily get on welfare/social security. I've seen dozens of examples over my 5 years of being a landlord. Well, many low-skilled immigrants abuse the system as well. So, it's bullshit, Jack Nicholson: in this country millions of people just got it without busting their a$$es.

    Folks,
    Please Ignore people who are obviously here to create confusion and to discourage and bring down the general morale. It causes a drain on the energy of the *Volunteer* Core Members. We should never lose sight of the fact that this is the one and only Forum that has our goals as the Priority and it is the *Volunteer* Core Members who have taken the initiative to try to get something done. The very fact that we have this Forum and that we have a coordinated effort to try to get some thing done to address our issue is worth the money that I have contributed and will continue to contribute.
    What will I do with a few extra 100's when I have no security?
    Folks please understand and support the effort. Be Positive and keep the energy effort and drive UP.
