Could someone live in the US on a H4 visa and work remotely for a canadian company, travel back and forth for business, all the while maintaining the H4 in the US? Of course the work in Canada would be based on a temporaray work status in Canada. What legal hassles would this create if any? Any comments. This may be a useful scenario for spouses stuck on H4 due to retrogression (no EAD, finished 6 years on H status). Anyone care to comment?

I am in the exactly same situation.
I talked to my Attorney and they are going to send me Originla I-485 receipt notice. What they told me the RD on original notices is July 2, 2007.
If this is true, then I will just ignore the Aug 28, 2007 RD on my Transfer Notices.
Try to get your original I-485 from Attorney and check out what the RD is on them....
An please post here if you find anything else.
I have my EADs and APs approved already.

Hi,
I had my FP taken at 9:30AM today. I just checked, and my I485 has a LUD today; immediately after FP were taken. So they did update my case almost immediately after taking FPs.

Berkeleybee,
Discussing the way the immigrants are treated in this country is a very constructive conversation. Discussing the way of getting out of this situation is also a very constructive conversation.
Although I appreciate your (the core team) efforts and support them, we are still light years away from a quick and effective solution of the backlog and retrogression problems. All - government, Senate, Congress, Immigration service, big business etc do not care at all about the legal immigrants (better not use another popular expression :-). Do you need a prove for that !? And do you know why is that ? - because nobody "votes with the feet" and there is a permanent flow of "dreamers" hoping to get a GC. The big business is interested in guest workers, not in quick resolution of the GC problem - idiots like us cost less, do not dear to demand rights and are quiet and patient people who could bear a lot. And do not forget that the big business pulls the strings of the politicians.
Bottom line - the lack of negative feedback (voting with the feet for example) contributed to the current mess in the Immigration.
You should have access to my email address - call me and I will give you some helpful information.

I don't hink so. Under Internal Revenue Code, Tax payer must authorize the requesting party. IRS will not disclsoe any tax payer data to anyone unless authorized by the tax payer in written for each tax year. There is separate form for this process. I think this is very common in the mortgage industry.
-MB
How recent is that ? did they ask you for to submit it this year or in year 2005 ? I'm just curiouse what is IRS has to do with immigration? when did you apply for your I-485?
is there a relationship between taxes and Immigration?

Hmmmm! if i understand correctly 7%- 8% interest is given on FIXED deposit (of Rs 50 lakhs or more ) for 5 or more years i.e person gets money after 5 years. How will the person meet expenses for first 5 years ?
This also means he can never buy a house ? I guess how many families would never want to own a house ?

Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

I agree with you map_boiler. I have also seen from some other thread that some one with EB3/India/Apr 2004 PD got approval in July. If the July bulletin is void , How can they approve that ?
You are right , It looks like they approved cased with NO PD but with ready FBI check and also requested numbers for the current PD but sec check pending.
If a APR2004/EB3/India can get approval after Jul 2 , How can they reject EB3/INDIA/DEC2003 but filed on Jul2 ?
Returning numbers raise whole lot of questions. It remains to be seen how they try to untangle this mess.

IMO, there could be unfortunate situations for anybody which may seem to be like one will go out-of-status. Best option is go to a good attorney. It is not cheap option but certainly it is best way to get things answered professionally within a specific time period. It will also prevent your case to be wide open on forums for any agency or anti-s to target you. You will also be protected by attorney client confidentiality agreements.
I saw some questions like "I am not working on H1B though I have visa. Or things like "I am not paid on bench. Is that alright". Does it need anybody to confirm that you could be out of status? Quite naive to ask that on forum.
Best option, do not violate any law intentionally. When we take so much care by not even jay-walking, we should be super careful about the immigration laws and statuses.

I think its more than 3 since I got a notice about my 2003 state taxes in 2007 which they said they never received and I got stuck with a penalty ( although I was getting a refund ). I paid the penalty since it would have been too much of a hassle to go through 2003 records and then duelling it out with the IRS.
if you get a refund and you refile you should not have penalty....?

Yes, we cannot give up just because we got EAD. Due to a silly mistake, most of us eligible were able to file for I-485. It does not matter whether EB2 or EB3. We are LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Leaving our family relaitives, pursuing a career and leading family in getting new friends here, immigration delays have been causing nightmares.
Imagine a person who is pursuing American Dream and waiting for Green Card for 10 years? This means the prospective life of (mid 20s to mid 30s) of a guy is lost in pursuing GC? Is this the modern era slavery? Hitech slavery? Green Card should give us more flexibility.
So, united we stand to fight for legal immigration!

Non-Immigrants - All talk and no action?
I have been a silent member of ImmigrationVoice.org, a group formed by and for Highly Skilled Non-Immigrants wishing to legally migrate to the US to lobby Congress for reforms. When I first heard about ImmigrationVoice on another immigration bulletin board, I was curious to find out what their agenda was. With an ambitious goal of reforming the immigration system to favor the Highly Skilled Immigrants and with a little over 200 members, I was one amongst the next 100 who hoped that this then small organization would make a difference and signed up. I am here on a H1B work visa and still have 3 years left. I know that this struggle has to start for me now for it would be too late.
By now, the organization had grown to almost 3000 members and with a dedicated team of advisors and group members, they made a bang in the immigrant community last year by going on a PR spree and even rallied amendments through prominent pro-immigrant senators and lobbying firms to include/introduce amendments in the failed 2006 CIR bill, all through meagre finances (compared to other anti-immigrant groups) albeit rich with passion and hope.
I consciously started donating not because I was hoping that something WILL happen, but atleast with the hope that I tried to make it happen and that I can proudly go down if it didn't. People have almost always benefited from the actions of a small group of highly motivated individuals who tried and tried and tried. Some succeeded but some failed. Those who led and won will make history. Those who followed and won will proudly remember the history. Those who refused to follow and still won will with guilt remember the history.
Hope is the quintessential trait of a successful person. If I knew how to predict the future, I wouldn't be here. What is important is that behind hope there is always strength. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will".
Every non-immigrant has the indomitable will to succeed based on his/her definition of success. I had the indomitable will to fly 12,000 miles to a destination I had never been to, clutching a scholarship and hope. I had the indomitable will to persist after 9/11 to find a job. If I didn't I would have called it quits and returned back home. My friend almost got killed at a gas station. Why? He had the indomitable will to try to stand up on his own to pay his tuition and living expenses. There are several stories of sacrifices and will power that constantly amaze me even till this day. One guy worked at a meat packing plant to earn minimum wage while simultaneously studying for a triple major. The worst part of his story was that he comes from a strict indian family of orthodox brahmins who by tradition and religion consider all living beings sacred.
When you hear these stories of how people have lived their lives to reach wherever they are, lobbying for a reform should be an easier task. Its not rocket science. Just like americans, we non-immigrants take our rights for granted. "We pay taxes. We pay Social Security. We pay Medicare. We pay state taxes. etc. etc." SO WHAT? You drive a car, get excellent health care, make enough money to buy your parents a house/car, parade yourself everytime as the rich successful lad who left the shores to the land of opportunity everytime you visit your motherland. At what cost?
Sometimes, Charles Darwin's quotes come to my mind; Like this one - "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
We, non-immigrants adapt ourselves to the utmost degree that we almost always end up trying to find the easy route in order for us to preserve our way of life in the name of adaptiveness.
John Porter counters Charles darwin by saying-"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential."
In my humble opinion, that is exactly what ImmigrationVoice.org has been trying to do.
Off late, it seems that a majority of the members seem to bring in their own agenda and rally behind their own agenda completely devoid of ImmigrationVoice.org's objectives. There was not one bulletin board thread which has never sidetracked from the topic of discussion. In the name of constructive criticism or the character of the devil's advocate, a small minority have caused confusion and resentment of the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org. For those members, I suggest that you read the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org and subscribe to them or look for another group with common objectives such as yours.
I have always had the opinion that if you can't get it done, step aside and let someone else do it. Observe, encourage, argue with a discipline and respect like a professional, but don't leave. Every single ounce of hope is required to achieve ImmigrationVoice.org's goals. Its hard to convey emotions through words, but I do know that deep within every non-immigrant's heart, there is a passion for success, hard work, commitment and willpower. If not, we wouldn't be forcing the nation/world to take notice of us or atleast try doing so.

well said and I agree 100%. it is not as simple as saying that by buying now you are saving 12 months rent. (for one, you get a place to live which has flexibility..though smaller). if you need it now as said above it makes sense (and I would say if u need space because grown up kids need space or you have other family member staying (like parents etc) ..)
I agree Texas did not see the boom that was seen in other places and hence is relatively a better place to buy. that being said, I guess it depends on location too ..even in good places (all except the super bubble states of CA, FL etc) ...make sure that location looks good (good school, less crime) ..and at the same time ..easy commute (who knows ..gas maybe $6 and rising in future)...ino ther words even in TX, if the houses were built far away ..then they too will fall in prices
I think gas price is a non-issue. Gas in India is more expensive than in the US and considering the income there, the effective cost is even more higher. And yet, people continue to buy more and more without regard for increasing gas prices.
The same logic applies here. Back in 2001, once gas prices starting going up and in places where gas cost $1.30, it hit $1.50 which people found "shocking". And yet, there wasn't the slightest reduction in the number of cars bought. Even now, with all the dismay at soaring prices, nothing much has changed. Freeways are just as jammed as ever.
The fact is, the American is well equipped to deal with $6 prices. The reaction we see is is just due to the unpleasant thought of having to pay more. It is not a showstopper by any stretch of anyone's imagination. At the worst, it just means they will have to cut back on annual vacations which is not a big deal for us, but obviously a catastrophe to the average American.

Hello,
Yes, as my PD is Feb 2005, this implies that the case has been pre-adjudicated as of now pending new finger prints.
My case was originally at NSC, was then send to MSC (National Benefits Center) and then was sent to local USCIS office in San Francisco where I went for an interview and then had this request for documents. The processing dates for San Francisco field office as of now for I-485 are Aug 1, 2008. So, I'm assuming that they have cleared all the cases that reached them by 31 July 2008 and that NSC sent my case file to them by 31st July 2008.
The IO who interviewed me was different than the one who has worked on my case since.
Yes, thanks for the wishes...but in this process, nothing is certain till the physical receipt of the cards, right? :)
PS: As far as I know, fingerprints and medical records are the two documents that may expire...apart from the applicant! ;)

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
After you file 485 you are in AOS so you can file for AP and use that to get back into US. Once in AOS it doesn't matter if your H1B expired or I94 is expired as you will be in status. However to work you will need EAD.
To enter reenter US you should have a H1B visa stamp which is valid or have an AP. If you use your AP you will have to use EAD to continue working. Another option is to get a new H1B stamp based on your current H1B petition which is valid till april 2008.
