Unless your parents have SSN, you can't really claim exemption. .

This is not true.
I have claimed my parents as dependents when they visited me a year ago for about 5 months.
When you submit your tax returns to IRS, at that time they apply for ITIN (if they don't have one) for the parents. That what I did....however, I went thru a CPA.

Thanks

Wow! No-tec, thats pretty **** sweet. Have any links you could give me to make thrill ISH like that, ya know, like tutorials!

Hi All,
My Wife�s I-94 expired on Jan 15, 2010 and I did not know that I had to apply for her H4 extension while applying for my H1B extension under regular processing on March 1, 2010.My employer also forgot to apply for H4 extension. Now that, it�s been more than 2 months with the I-94 expired, Can you please let me know what options I have to resolve this issue?

1.Can I upgrade my H1 Processing to Premium and add the H4 processing to it, so that both H1 and H4 are processed simultaneously?
2.If adding H4 while upgrading H1 to premium is not possible, Should I just upgrade my H1 to Premium so that I can know the results soon and have ample time (before the 180 days grace period) to apply for H4 extension(I-539).Is it true that H1B premium approval is risky compared to regular processing ?

3.Is it safe to go back to India within 180 days (after I-94 expiration) and get H4 stamping in her home country once I get my H1 Extension?

4.Should I just leave my H1B in regular processing and attach the H4 extension (I-539) to it? If attaching H4 is not possible, Can I file H4 separately and get it approved before 180 days expiration?

5.Once her H4 extension is approved, can she get her H4 VISA re-validated in US? Can she apply under �Nunc-pro-tunc� Category?

6.Does she have an option to attend H4 visa interview in Canada or Mexico as her Visa and I-94 are expired? If yes, is this better option than going to India?


Please reply.
Thanks in advance

We should send flowers to her with a personally written thank you note.

Not flowers ... any other time, an emphatic YES.

But we just used flowers as a sarcastic "Thank You, USCIS" .... so it is not the best idea ... just a note of Thanks, email or letter - to let her know we are grateful for her stance. It is important that we acknowledge the efforts of people who work to help us.

The answer is yes. you can get inifinte 3 year extensions . I am one of the examples myself.

oh

It says India took a total of 41254 visas, but if you total the columns including family pref it comes to 32030. What am I missing?? Anyway how does it matter...

Did you add up the visas issued in Indian?

I am not sure if any reputed lawyer is going to be able help. The fact that you agreed that you worked in a gas station when you were not suppose to causes a problem for a lawyer make a case. I am hoping one of the lawyers on this forum would be able to guide you on this.

Good luck

What is the confusion?

More than likely you will be called for interview in 2 months. That is what happend in my case. However since there are no visas when they completed my interview my application was put on hold.

Have you heard of "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro"? Jalaluddin Akbar is a character in Ramayan and Mahabharat. Here is a proof.

Its only Mahabharat - people started forgetting Ramayan & Mahabharat.

PERM started last year.. there are people who applied labour before that and still waiting.. i personally know two of my friends who applied for labour in april 2001 and still waiting for approval.

But once they get their labor approved, they will get their I-140, via premium processing, in a day or two and their PDs will surely be current. So they will immediately be able to file for I-485, and in fact it is unlikely that the dates will retrogress behind 2001.

BUt thanks for your clarification. I used to think PERM has solved problems for all.

It is currently taking a long time to adjudicate MTR's ( for some more than a year or so ) . I would say file a MTR and also file a new perm labor . I suggest going with EB3 rather than EB2 since rules for EB2 are now more stricter than before along with more scrutiny and RFE's. But its your own choice.

I think the new labor would get approved before you get a response for your MTR. If they clear the original labor well and good or else you would at least have the new one .

Before answering something like this, you should know what you are answering.

The application was received on 7/10 and the checks were cashed today - How will you receive the resceipt number ? Would it come in the mail?

USCIS will sent you receipt. If you do internet banking and can see your check, on reverse side of check, they stamp with detailed infromation. If you can access that you can find it.

Yesterday I picked up receipt number for my son from check, who applied OPT/EAD in CSC.

Otherwise wait for few more days to get receipt.

What does this mean ?
"Our electronic records show that your application is with the adjudications officer for review."

Thanks

yep, thats why I am planning to do a masters. If all else fails.. migrate to canada :D

I don't agree with more fees for 485 etc ...

They are already taking too much money out of us ...
Then lets just sit tight and hope everything would be done for us without shelling one extra dollar.

Come on guys, we need to see this from the Govt's point of view too. What's in it for them to even begin considering the plight of us??

Suppose we use OverNight Express USPS mail ... I was wondering
when i can send the package ?

If i send too early say Thursday June 28th it will reach their office Friday June 29th - will it get rejected because PD is CURRENT only as of July 1st, Sunday ??
early enough to the there on July 2nd and not before

Reno_john,
You are spamming the forum with the same post complaining. If you have specific questions, call us/email us or PM us.
Do not spam the forums. This is a warning.

We have had several wonderful members who have joined the chapter already. We are forming local networks in Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville so that it's easier for all TN members to participate in the chapter activities. Coordination of the activities will be done through the Yahoo group.

I'll be coordinating activities in Nashville area. So if you are from Nashville or surburbs, feel free to PM me.


Mahatma has kindly agreed to coordinate the activities in Knoxville area. If you are in Knoxville or surrounding areas PM him, he'll help us get organized. Members like him who already have their GCs and helping our cause is a real insiration to the rest of us.


We are in the process of setting up a network in Memphis too. Don't worry Memphiseans, you are in our radar :). PM me your details and I'll help you folks get organized. We already have some enthusiatic volunteers ready to work with in building local networks.


IV TN is not all Immigration. We are building strong network of likeminded persons. It will not only help us work with IV to solve our GC problem, but also spin off into future opportunities from the development of these network.


All in all, I really feel blessed to be working with this group of motivated volunteers.

I said it may be and so it is better to check with attorney. There is nothing wrong in checking with attorney so that he can clarify the doubts.

That is so wrong, you are linking this to the criminal database?
SO as soon as the finger printing is done, within a fraction of a second, they match your fingerprints to the criminals and even let you know that by displaying a Red sign. Cant believe a Senior member can come up with such an explanation.
Leos link has the answer, the red Not match found error is simply an error between your finger prints taken together and then done individually.

The Service rep also individually goes thru all the FPs to check if the FPs taken together match those done individually.
