Thank you all for providing some excellent information. Special thanks to members waitnwatch and fromnaija for providing Arizona specific information. I certainly think that I should take this further in light of all the new information. I even talked to my GC attorny and he also thinks that I should have have given resident status.
fromnaija,
The pdf file in your post indicates that you would qualify for in-state tuition if you have filed for GC. How does the university determine that you have filed for GC? After you have filed for labor or filed for 140 or only after filing of 485? Those 3 dates could be years apart and depending on how the university defines that you have filed for GC could determine the residency status. If you have any further information, please share.
waitnwatch,
Do you believe that Arizona Board of Regents is actually not abiding by the state statue "illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996" ? I am trying to gather as many arguments as possible to support my case because after reading your post and few other posts, I am seriously considering filing an apeal and fight this unfair practice once and for all.

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."

I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.
You need to live in that house for at least 5 years to recoupe the commision/closing cost. Will you pay the loss if someone needs to sell the house suddenly due to immigration.

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks
If you are i US workign more than 10 years, then you are eligible to receive Social Security benefits when you retire no matter where you are.
I dont think there will 40% penality after 30% tax on 401K when you withdraw funds. it will be total 40-45% from 401K if you withdraw before your retirement.

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it. The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.

The question is incorrect.
It should be, "How many of you have children that are non-US citizens?"
Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..

Your situation is slightly different than many I have come across. If your qualifications, research work, project etc have unique qualities, then you may still have a fighting chance. But you may have to do a lot of homework: find out NIW holders in your / related engg field, ask a few lawyers: do not believe right away if somebody promises they could, try to enroll in as many professional associations as possible, enlarge your skill portfolio etc.
BTW, is any degree of you from US?
I have a Ph.D and 2 M.Sc in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. I got my H1-B and I also have been employed for 3 months now. My company policy required 3 years before sponsoring me. I do not want to wait that long to start applying. How can I tell if I am qualified for EB-2 with National interest waiver? Is that the only way for me to get GC?
I also want to mention that I have 5 proceedings papers but not journals. I also do not have any citations for my proceedings papers.
Please advice me what is the best senario for me and if I have any chance to apply for EB-2 with NIV.
Thank you

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi
EB2 or 3 depends on the Job requirements primarily... you could have a masters and be working for a job that requires a bachelors as minimum requirement then you are only going to get an EB3 (no exp example)

Funds, There are more ideas than funds. For every new campaign, plan, we need funds. So it is an ever needed commodity. We can do a lot and lobby effectively, we just need more funds, plain and simple. Inspite of several hundreds contributing, it is not enough. Remember IV is a non-profit, so every penny is accounted for. People handling money (core IV) are sincere, honest hardworking people on work-visas, they have much to lose from not being accountable. And the most important thing is, please take a look at these hard-working IV CORE PEOPLE, please. Some of them have put thousands of dollars (I mean 5 and ten thousand) into this effort. I am not counting personal expenses, travelling to DC, lost work hours etc.
So your $100 at the bowling arena, or $50 at dinner or $35 bouquet wont get you much farther, but your recurring contribution to IV will.
Amitjoey,
Don't you think it's a good idea to post:
Total Contributions Received:
Total Expenses:
Balance:
Efforts Undertaken:
On a weekly or monthly basis by the IV Core?
I think that would motivate fellow members to contribute more (or less in some cases).

Am I not reading his post right??
While I do not want to sound discouraging or pessimistic, this is a very good idea and we must do things like this.
Now, it is just not enough if we make this suggestion and discuss it - we must walk the talk. Will we?
To start with, we can do a lot of stuff, get our co workers, families, friends etc.. involved, print flyers, send emails, post blogs, make videos and post them on youtube, hold local community events and increase awareness.
Our own community is still very ignorant and is indirectly working against us, lok at this post on immigration portal

you will understand why things are so difficult for our community.
Our first step will be to concentrate on community building. This is very important. We need to reqruit more volunteers, and they in turn reqruit more volunteers. We must first build a strong community and have a strong foundation.
The reason I am posting this message is to say that whatever novel ideas like the above that have come up in the past have not gone towards getting implemented they just were discusssed and got buried into old threads.
So my question is "can we walk the talk?"

Applications/Petitions filed at this Service Center
Since all applications and petitions adjudicated at the NSC are entered into the electronic receipting systems for tracking, any application or petition received at the NSC and that has been accepted elsewhere by a USCIS office will be assigned a "LIN" (short for Lincoln.) number.
Also, just today, my lawyer asked me to file where the I485 is pending. After I filled the application online today, it too generated the LIN address where my 485 is pending, although I have now moved to PA which is under the Texas service center.
I have a quick question for everyone who has filed online. The I765 that is generated and appended at the end of the receipt pdf is an older version for me. The top left corner header is U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service and the top right header is some OMB# and Expires 04-30-05. The bottom right footer reads Form I-765 (Rev. 5/09/02)Y
Q11. Also reads
Have you ever before applied for employment authorization from BCIS?

Did anyone of you get the same older version. Because I would expect the online receipt form to resemble the latest paper version. Which it doesn't..atleast for me?? :confused::confused:

Where to send application? This is part of instructions describing Federal Code Section "8 CFR 274a.12" and where to send.
We understand that http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf is main reference.
This document also summarizes where to send EAD application: http://www.visapro.com/US-INS-Forms/Form-I-765.asp.
for (c)(9) I-485 pending
-- #1 Either Service Center with jurisdiction over your residence (NSC or TSC)
-- #2 or Local Office - depending on where your case is pending
The #1 is consistent with http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf. I am confused about it #2 and perhaps my interpretation is not correct. NSC and TSC is not Local Office. As long as case is with NSC and TSC, we may need to send I-765 based on juridiction.
I have other observation also: http://www..com/discussion-forums/i765-1/121036147/last-page/
People are filing based on #1 and #2 above and it has been going OK. Seems that USCIS is able to process regardless.

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement that donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and act maturely!!! Also people have repped in wierdes ways as well on this post.
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
Please do not question the dedication of the people involved. I think you being upset is okay.
answers to your questions.......
On Cruises generally they do not ask about visas but it always is better to get one. We went on one 2 years back and had visas for all the countries that we went to. None was checked.....but if you do not have the H1 stamped then you will have to use AP to re-enter. There is always an immigration officer when you come back to US. They check all paper work and ask questions. We were asked. We had stamped H1/H4 visas.
To be safe always check with some/your lawyer. I did and they were very helpful in this regard (and not in others though).
Please do not abandon the forum as it has been created to help all. While you are here consider donating a small token to show support. This is request and not a demand.
