i see the estimate tool is showing
max weekly is $415
max benifits is $10k
I thought it was like 1/2 of your salary.

Bear in mind the following
You dont need to pay any tax in India for money that you withdraw from your 401k for only upto two years after you return back to india. (your are no longer a nri and the 2 years is the buffer)
For any money you withdraw after 2 years, you need to tay tax in US (which shouldnt be a lot if you withdraw little by little and you being non-resident of usa) and also pay tax in india (which could be quite a bit)
If you have GC then you can take out ur 401k in 2 installments (because u have RNOR status for 2 years) and file tax as a resident in USA (because of GC).
If you don't have GC then please take all ur 401k in one shot in the year you leave. Otherwise you'll pay 10% penalty and then 30% tax to USA because you will be a Non resident as for as US is concerned in the next year.

Thanks janilsal.
We got married in a temple and returned the license to the County Clerk's office.
We can't mention martial status as married due to family reasons.
We are fine applying with martial status as single independently since both of our PD is current now.
Will they find this discrepancy martial status during background check? I'm unsure whether these will appear in the background check in the first place.
Please advice.
Thank you!
Think just getting marriage license is not sufficient. The license is a precursor to marriage (and as far as I know there is a particular time period after license to get married in a church, personal ceremony or court).
I do not feel that getting married in the US is a problem. You get the license and then you can get married at a court the next day. It is called a "Civil Marriage".
I know of people who have done this in the past and have got GCs.

Hi All
Just came accross the following information as posted by the uscis latest newsletter...
If I am filing for a replacement EAD under 8 C.F.R., Section 274.a.12(c) (9), how long is the EAD valid?
If an individual requests to replace an EAD that has not expired, USCIS will issue a replacement EAD that is valid through the same date as the previously issued EAD. However, if the previous EAD has expired, USCIS will process the request for a renewal EAD and determine the appropriate validity period based on the Department of State Visa Bulletin and the applicant�s priority date.If USCIS determines that an applicant has filed multiple Forms I-765, the agency may deny the applications for the replacement or renewal EAD.

Dos this mean that to get 2 yead EAD we have to file for an extension after the current EAD expires ???
can you please put a question mark at the end of the line when your subject is a question instead of a statement? Looking at this link I thought USCIS came out with some new regulation!
replacement EADs are always issued for the term of the original EAD, so this is no news. If you lose your current one year EAD, and file a new one, its expiry will be same as this one. If you lose a 2 year EAD, its replacement will be granted with the same expiry as the old one, so 2 years.

If you have a choice of LOA, you should go ahead and take it.
RFE is not a must - if you do get a RFE, it need not be necessarily for paystubs. You should take LOA, start your job search and try to get a similar position asap and if you do get RFE, you will have a choice of going with AC21 or not depending on your RFE.
Dont think that you will get your GC in a month or so - this process is very unpredictable and the more you be prepared for it, the better it is.
Best of luck and hope you get your GC soon.

Folks, please help:
I had submitted both parents' affidavit along with my 485. Now i got RFE with only 3 weeks to reply. My name and DOB is diff in my BC so it's of no use and they won't issue NABC. I recvd BC from consulate and i am going to submit it along with a copy of my 10th grade leaving cert.
My questions are:
1. Can USCIS deny 485 solely due to lack of BC/NABC ? if yes then What are the chances of denial ?
2. If the officer does not think that consulate BC is enough, will they deny 485 or issue another RFE?
3. Do you know anyone whose 485 was denied simply for no BC/NABC reason?
4. My 485 was (wrongfully) denied few months ago when my ex revoked the approved I-140, could this affect the future processing of the case -vely (i hope not) ?
Thanks in advance.

If the company has revoked the H1 prior to the start date does she still needs to apply for H1 to H4?
In her case, company has not revoked the H1 yet.

EAD allows un-restricted employment so nothing to worry. Also take all the supporting documents then you should be fine. In your future employment letter, plz make sure that you have full time (in-definte) job offer. Do not talk about ur salary as per hr basis.
Good luck..

If your documents are in order then there is really no need to worry. The employer memo you are talking about is about employer - employee relationship. If a worker on H1 visa is working at a client site where his / her employer do not directly control the day to day activity then that person will be denied H1.
In plain terms if you are on staff augmentation project and report to a client manager who controls your day to day assignment and your H1 employer only runs your payroll then there will be issues when you go for stamping with a possibility of your visa getting denied.
I thought that manager control rule is for L1 visa, where consultant must work only at direct client site.

I agree with portability logic. In that case, a 485 is tied with individual. Why cant a individual have a 485 certified anytime. That is not going to change even if he moves from place to place. In fact, a 485 should be like a degree certificate validating all the credentials. We should be able to carry it wherever we go and show it to our prospective employer and get the GC process moving.
Having said that, there is no need to wait to file 485 due to visa retrogression. Visa numbers are for adjucating the individual 485 and granting the perm residency status. I dont understand why the 485 stage comes as the final one and why the hell it is tied up with VISA numbers.
Example: The applicant gets all medical check up and he is hale and healthy. He filed for 485 and it is pending for 5 years due to retrogression. Every year or once in two year he needs to repeat the medical checkup and declare he is still healthy until he gets the GC. This funny test is not required after he gets GC. Assume in 4th year he gets the deadly VIRUS decease from a US citizen, then he will be denied of GC. The reason is he will spread this contagious disease which he got from US citizen. But he is free to walk and spread if he has GC. Is't funny. I may be wrong........
LC - Verification is related to the sponsored job
140 - Verification is related to the sponsoring company
485 - Verification is related to the sponsored individual
Portability, by definition, applies to individual and not company. Why would your company want you to have portability?

May be not before but recently USCIS is doing what they were supposed to do, except the fact that they are really tied up with enormous amount of phone calls from our friends. :)
If that is the case there is nothing to prevent them from taking the receiver off the hook. If they have a call center, people will call. They would be setup to handle a particular call volume. If the call volume goes beyond that then a Q will form and callers will wait longer for service.
I don't think the people answering the calls are necessarily the same people who work on the cases.
The rude behavior is nothing new for these guys. How many times have we heard how the visitor's and non-immi lines at the port-of-entry are treated.

My labor is also pending with the Dallas BEC. My priority date is Nov 2001, non-RIR. The online system still shows that my case is in process.
Sick and tired of waiting ...
I think poster bestia mentioned yesterday that you can somehow speed up the process if you pay a certain amount for faster processing? That's another thing I want to look into for my friend. May I ask you how you check the status of that online? I think she sent in the original application but she never got anything back so she doesn't have a case number or anything. Thanks!

Hello:
I have a last minute doubt - my H1B stamp on the passport is expired, so is the white I94 card. I have a valid I797 extension.
Can I use automatic revalidation? I am in doubt because the white I94 card is expired and I will have to present it to the officer at the port of entry.
Thanks.

I am on my 7th year H1B. I got a 3yr extension from my current employer based on approved I140. I have the I140 receipt number but do not have a copy of 140 (my employer refuses to give it).
I also do not have the LCA for Perm filing.
My 485 has been filed more than 6 months ago.
I do have the new I797 (till 2010) for my H1B extension from my current company.
1. Is it possible for a new company to do my H1B transfer without a copy of I140 ?
2. Is I140 required to do EAD extension ?
3. What are the consequences of not having an actual I140 copy with new employer in future.?
If 180 days have passed after I-140 approval, then there is nothing to worry about not having a copy of I-140.

Hi,
My educational background is Bachelor of Engginerring in Computer science.
I came to United states in December 2006. when i came i was having six years of experience.
My employer applied for my Labor in 2nd week of August 2008. After 2 weeks my attorney asked for a self affidavit having details about my work experience from 2001 till 2006 and also he gave me a format.
I prepared one affidavit for one employer ( totaly five affidavit for five employers between 2001 to 2006 ). I was team member in First and second Employer, i was a Team Lead in third employer, I was a Project Leader in Fourth and Fifth employer.
When i prepared the self affidavit i made a mistake, I gave the correct dates, correct designation ( Which is in my offer and reliving letter ) but i kept same responsiblities for all employers.
I didnot get any issues in my Labor. My Labor got approved in March 2009. Now my employer filed I - 140 in the end of september. Two days back he said that there is a RFE regarding my I - 140 case. THe RFE contains the Below Details.
"SINCE THE EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE BENEFICIARY DOES NOT HOLD AN ADVANCED DEGREE, IT MUST ESTABLISH THAT HIS POST-BACCALAUREATE EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE. HOWEVER, HIS SWORN AFFIDAVITS INDICATES THAT WHILE HIS JOB TITLES CHANGED, HIS DUTIES IN 2006 WERE STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE IN 2001 FOR EMPLOYER 2. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW HIS EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE"
I explained the suitation to my employer but he is saying there is only 50:50 chance for I-140 to get approved.
What will happen now ?
What type of document i should provide to USCIS for this query?
Will my I - 140 get approved ?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj..
