One way is to invest regularly in 401 K. By that way you let your investments grow tax free and if you have to or go back to India then you can withdraw them next year, TAX free or less tax. Thus you actually pay less tax and ultimately you might pay lesser tax than your social security. Who cares if the social security is being taken from me.

140 Filed 7/17/07
Reached NSC 7/18/07
Check Cleared 7/23/07
I have not received the Receipt Notice yet.
On the back of the cleared check, I see some numbers but not sure which is the receipt no. Does it start with LIN followed by 10 digit number? Or, is it 12 digit number with no letters?

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.
Apart from the bad language used by some people .... I dont believe that there is any infighting .... disagreements with point of view is not infighting ... It just a primer for the points and discussions that will definitely come up when lawmakers will argue their points of view. And from that perspective it is enriching this portal forum and not denigrating it.
I welcome the discussion.

When u already tolerate so much with US visa system , cant you take some more rudeness from our fellow contrymen?! Kidding.
I had similar experience at indian consulate!!
In fact a fellow indian wearing a turban tried to get into the consulate just before the consulate officially opens. The person inside (not the security) threatened him that he/she will call security and through him out!. Thats their attitude... They (at least think) belong to ruling class of india, so they behave like that?!

Very well said IV and I can tell you that you may very well be right when you say that 90% of people trust you guys.

We will get there together.
God bless IV and its agenda.

Hi All,
Andrew Dutton - 917-536-5940, immigration_counselor@yahoo.com is my attorney for green card. I had also used him before for H1B renewal, PERM & I-140 substitution with DOL (while case was pending with Backlog Center). He is very professional, humble, and always answers phone calls & email messages immediately. He is also very very affordable (shall I say inexpensive - see the amounts he charged me for H1B, green card processing etc below).
I was one of the unfortunate ones who got scammed my Earl David Associates (New York Law Firm) - now renamed to Jed David Philwin Associates. I know how bad law firms can be - they did not file my LC in 2003 but kept on telling me that they did - ONLY a year after in 2004 they promised me they had already done so. Needless to say how much pain suffering this caused me.
I used Andrew for my H1B + wife's H4 renewal - total attorney fees - $550. No extra fees for filing documents for family members.
Then, I used him for EB2 PERM, I-140, I-485/EAD/AP (for myself & my wife) - total attorney fees - $1600. No extra fees for filing documents for family members.
I had an existing LC approved from Backlog Center - he filed I-140 for just $100-$150 attorney fees - stating that since he had already filed a previous I-140 for me - he just needs to modify some minor details on the I-140 & file it.
He filed my I-485 over the weekend so it reached USCIS on Monday July 2 - who knows I may be one of the lucky ones when July visa bulletin fiasco is resolved.
Regarding, Philwin associates they're big time scammers...they've taken from me $5000 without giving me not even a receipt or send me the retainment and dissapeared specifically avoid fake lawyer Michael (MIKE) Venieris. I'm personally taking them to court so spread the word. Does anyone know where submit a complaint for them to the IRS and the lawyers association? However, SPREAD THE WORD so at least to take them out of the market!!

Seems like a downright slugfest on Fragomen going on! I haven't had the ability to get an immigration lawyer (my employer too didn't provide me with one) so I couldn't comment either way on Fragomen. But it seems Fragomen may just be selling franchises not unlike Subway or Dunkin Donuts. End of the day you just get to work with a franchisee using Fragomen's name. The flip side of this is that there is no standardized lawyer supply similar to raw material supplies Subway or similar franchisees get.
What I say above is in jest but it may quite be true!
Maybe we could operate Fragomen franchises once we get our green cards!

Well said...now let me put it in a slightly direct fashion....
Most people seem to be in denial...For now they just want to hear that they will be ok...I''m sure we have members whose motherly instincts can kick in. Please help these poor souls...Not sure what else to say...I'm very dissapointed at how much we were able to raise..
Everbody's posts here are speculations on what USCIS will do to I-485's filed on or after July 2. Everybody is trying to get an answer from USCIS. You called and got an answer DIRECTLY from USCIS which you doubt and don't believe. So what you want is for people here, who can only come up with speculations as to what USCIS's action would be, to confirm what USCIS already told you???
Geez.....you definitely need a brain check.

The messages you are getting from your House reps and Senators are standard messages that they have on this issue.
Please do not be discouraged by the email back messages from them, because frankly it is just an automated standard reply.
The idea really is to make them take notice and hopefully have some body (staffer) read atleast one of our email messages entirely and realise what our issue/s are. We need to make them aware of us- "Immigration voice" as an organisation and educate them on the issues we face. So if we continue to send them messages, that will be a big help and it builds momentum towards the advocacy event.

Get copies of your 140 approval and labor filing papers. Look for a job and transfer h1b , you will get 3 years transfer/extension based on yiour approved 140.
Once you settle down in your new job, apply for new Labor in PERM (preferably EB2) , and you can port your earlier priority date.

I dont know why people are thinking CIR will be advantageous :
WHat does CIR do :
Lets divide in to Four categories :
1. PPL who has to still enter US
2. PPL who have not started GC
3. PPL whose Labor pending in BEC
4. PPL whose 140 pending or approved.
In each i have not seen advantages but these are disadvantages , please enlighten me about advantages over current system in each cases.
Case -1: THere are enough provisions like Increase in H1B fees, Eliminating contracting etc that would effect and truely we may not be worrying about this in this context.
Case -2: For people who have not stated GC yet , its utter chaos, as per the dates in CIR. Now point system is not tested, there are severe imbalancements , No up system yet in INS , no yet personnel allocation . I dont see any reason INS will be on to this even if passed for atleast 2 years.
Based on this even if people say 5 years or so , no one exactly knows it might even take more than 7 years becoz of initial filing delays , accessing points , etc . What about extensions in H1B , anyways H1B system is so scrwed up consultants will be reduced by atleast 50% , and only survive who can find an work around. after all this High filing will force many out. I dont see anything good with new system. No big diff in Visa allocations to say that it will be faster for ppl. H1B Cant be renewed 3 years. Now is there any advantage over old sytem ? I dont think so .
Case -3: People who were stuck in BEC. Its bigger problem for many people who are renewing H1 based on this. Now that cant do it . SO its again their issue.
Case -4: People who got I140 approved or pending , They wont be effected anyways.
Also there will be labor somewhere as becoz there will be some clause that aims at not displacing any american worker for sure.
===========
With all these there is only one drawback of current system , i.e. backlog. that is not addressed anyways in new system so whats the point?
Only if cantwell amendment finds its place in current form then is a hope in a hurricane else its utter waste.

Last time I paid $305 for renewing my AP. Do I again need to pay that much to renew or is the renewal free?
Thanks in advance!
