I donot see any point in paying off the house, as you can deduct the interest to get some tax benefits. Why loose any benefit you can get.
On the other hand, use the money you were thinking of paying off the home for investments. Investments may it be CDs or stocks ( though right will come in future).
Although personally i have never bought a brand new car in US. Car depreciation is biggest loss one can take; we just bought a 5 th car...all cash paid and it is used.
Keep your cash, play with 20-30% based on your risk apt, donot pay off your home...cash is king.
On your comment of " being a novice in financial "...i have to say it Everyone is a novice in every matter, we all learn it here. Rather one who says he/she is a novice will make cautious decisions; i am wary of so called experts/gurus who mauled financial markets and still call themselves experts.
Start reading finance articles, blogs and you will be able to understand.

There is no excuse for the Immigration dept for this backlog. This is a simple clerk's job which they screwed. IV as a an organization should clearly state it and insist on fast resolution by the respective authorities, not just foggy promises.
I agree that there is no excuse for processing times running into many months. However, I would be hesitant to rely on the goodwill of DOL/USCIS in resolving the backlog. I started another thread suggesting a premium processing option for the entire GC process:

Hello all, I know at least some of you are anxious about EAD. So am I. Starting this thread to see what's going on with it.
This is NOT receipt tracking. Just want to track who got the final EAD card.
Please include:
Date you filed,
Receipt Date,
Service center,
If EAD received, date which you received
If still waiting, Last Update Date
My/My Wife's case:
Date Filed: June 29, 07
Receipt Date: July 25, 07
Nebraska Service Center (not transferred anywhere, I think)
Still Waining, No updates since receipt, stated LUD (Jul 28)
Thanks a lot

NYC is pretty easy, you have to shown your passaport and you get your ID or Licensing driver application. Thank god, but what a mess! I am wondering if we are still welcome in this country, i don`t know any more....
Friends , I was enquiring about Connecticut , but I am pleased to know about all the states.
beppenyc , Do you get your license till I-94 date or beyond it in NYC. Also my wife has the international driving permit , will that help?
Also will it be good idea to collect this info and publish it so that all of us know the rules and regulations of each state , this will help people immensely in situtaions like I am in ?

SO if USCIS wants to make a new rule of filing I485 for the one whose I 140 is cleared and priority date is not current, It CAN DO That RULE Right?
We do not need any Congress approval for that Right?
If so can we explore this option??
Yes, I was wondering the same thing.
The only plausible explanation for requiring congress' approval, that I am able to come up with, is that we bundled many requests along with the request for concurrent processing of 140/485, like additional visa numbers etc., which I think are not in the hands of USCIS.
We would need congress approval to increase visa numbers, etc. But for changing the rule to allow concurrent 140/485 processing is probably within the jurisdiction of the USCIS.

Dear Friends,
I have an approved I-140 with PD of Mar 06, but i left this company to join a new company. I have tried many times to file PERM through this new company but still unsuccessful. I am waiting to withdraw my PERM appeal to file a new PERM since January 09 (so folks don't ask me to update my profile because i am yet to file PERM, I have updated my profile three times since 2006 and also cleared it).
Question: When i spoke to my company's lawyer regarding my earlier I-140 they say that first i need to get my PERM approval (I agree) and than i need to get my I-140 approval (Which i am not sure) inorder to port priority date, is it true? Can't we port Priority date along with I-140 application itself?
Thanks,
R.

I do know a friend who fits the bill - EB2(ROW)
I have asked him for his permission to share contact information with you. He is not a member of IV.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.

Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).
In my scenario, most of my stay in US, was limited to the stay period mentioned in my VISA though I-94 was given for longer period. There was one instance when I-94 date was given for a longer period than Visa expiry and I stayed till my i-94 date though visa expired. For this particular stay, when I look at the US Entry and Exit dates it would say as if I overstayed though legally allowed and only way to prove that would be the I-94 copy. I dont have the copy of that I-94...
Just kind of wondering how to handle this particular scenario... Any ideas/suggestions...

My opinion (may be incorrect):
You should show your approval notice at the port of entry along withyour passport(visa). The immigration officer should put the date based on your approval notice on your I-94. If he doesn't (make sure you check you I-94 at that time), request him to correct the date. If still he doesn't then last action rule applies as you stated.

I would suggest not to risk renewing your passport in India just because you don't know if you would get stuck for some odd reason or another or not. As many have already posted on this thread - do it in the US if you have the time. I did my passport renewal from the SFO office a couple years ago and it was a simple straightforward process by mail (2-3 weeks).

Why are you even working for such a company? You should be with a company that values your contribution and wants to keep you and cares for you, similarly you should accept GC processing from a company that you are comfortable working with.

Perfect....
Yes I called the original civil surgeon and the TB test is going to cost $15 only and Xray $40.
I found the reason I got the RFE.
I had a copy of the last TB test report.
That civil surgeon FORGOT TO CHECK MARK the TB test !!!!
He checked a different section !!!
I feel bad that I missed to read it!
I could have rectified the DARN doctor then and there.
It was during the July fiasco. We were all in a hurry and tensed up.
Thanks for your update.
Once this RFE is cleared, I am going to Sue that doctor for expenses!
I feel sad that people dont do their jobs properly in this ADVANCED country.

One of my colleagues got audit for two consecutive years and he received his green card last month.
I can back that one up. We received audit August 13 for 2005. Had to prove we are married & kids live with us. When called and spoke to officer she said it was an "INS flag"! Honest to God that is what she said. She then asked if we had applied in the last couple of months for 485's??? She knew all about the USCIS system and said one way of telling is if you file jointly at the same address each year then why would IRS be asking for proof of marriage and kids living there etc. She was great and confirmed they had received all paperwork. Had to resend due to liquid being spilled on copies.... Even H&R Block said it was INS based.
Then we get 4 out of 5 EAD's approved, but spouse gets RFE and it is proof of name change please resubmit marriage certificate!
Cheers,
LRIndy
