Hi,
How do I file my taxes when I was on an OPT for 9 months and 3 months on H1B?
Also,
8 Months of the OPT was in Cincinnati and 1 Month in Chicago.
3 Months of the H1B was in Chicago.
Can I use Turbo Tax to file my taxes or should I go to an accountant?
I got 2 w2 forms from my employer. 1 for the time I worked in Cincinnati and 1 for Chicago. I am not sure if they are 2 different w2 forms or just 1, because on 1 of the w2 forms it says "1 of 2 w2 form" and on the other it says "2 of 2 w2 form".
I am pretty confused, so if anyone was in a similar situation can please let me know what they did, that would be great.
Thanks,
Deejay

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.

What happens if one does not surrender the I-94 when travelling abroad?
My friend while leaving US he did not surrender the I-94 card. Actually he forgot it at home and the airlines allowed him to board plane without surrendering I-94. What should he do now? Guru's does any one have any experience with such situation? Please help

Just Kidding - as long as you are wearing decent clothes no one should reject your visa (which otherwise should have been approved) for wearing a jeans or for not wearing formal dress.
But when someone created a thread for this - let me share "one dress" people shouldn't wear.- this is something you would want to avoid, this was told to me 9yrs back when i first came to this country and appeared for Interview first time.
That dress is - "Red Shirt"
Hope this helps !
Are you serious or kidding?

So do I actually have to be in the US to mail in the AOS forms (I-485s)? I've been a legal US resident for years on an H1-B, and have been fortunate to have never had out-of-status issues or anything like that. BUT, as it happens, I'm up in Canada on vacation at the moment, planning to return next week. I've never had to get a visa stamp or surrender I-94 or any of that stuf.
Do I need to actually be back in the US before lawyer sends in AOS forms ? Or is it sufficient that I'm a resident and will be back in the US once the AOS is processed.

The new employer does need to support you thru the GC process, again unclear if this is something that is needed in the AC21 letter or not.
The main thing per my understanding is that AC21 does not apply to contract positions - one would hope that the previous employer does not revoke the I-140 petition causing a NOID/RFE.
My question still stands - if the sponsoring employer revokes the approved I-140 petition post 180 days of 485 filing - this would cause problems if the person has taken up a contract position on EAD unless one can respond to the NOID/RFE stating a full time offer in hand for future employment, etc.
It is not very clear if the new employer needs to explicitly state that they would like to continue your GC. I understand that a major chunk of employers will have reservation stating this in an offer letter.
My understanding is that to invoke AC21, employer needs to provide an offer letter for a full time position. Please clarify.

Its unfortunate that you have a very recent RD. I talked to an IO at NSC yesterday and i was told that they will process the case based on the order they recieved. So they go by RD. If this is true then i guess you will have to wait some more time. Because thousands of people applied I-485 between June first to July 30.
May be this is the general process, but I know of a case with RD in June last week and PD in 2003 Mar got approved last Nov/Dec area. It is an EB3 India case.

US experience won't count much unless you are from fortune 500 company. These days anyone even with Aptech certificate can get a chance to come and work in USA on L visa for short assignments. So if your experience is in a desi consulting firm, I do not think your resume will be attractive.
The figures shown are all looking good for experienced people in good companies. But it is not easy to get jobs as senior people in top companies. Also remember you have to work much more than you work here. You also have to work on Saturdays in a lot of companies. If your clients are in USA you may also need work in the night too to interact with your people in USA. Also remember in small companies you rarely get to do cutting edge world class work or new idea or planning. You will hardly learn or get special trainings.
Grass is always green on the other side
I was reading this thread and found something that I haven't found here also. In US also I haven't found any companies give much exposure to consultants for world class work or new idea or planning. I also haven't found any companies that provide special training to the consultants.
Fortune 500 companies may be an exception though from the above.
What I feel is it all depends on the individual how much of exposure one can get regardless where s/he is working. Technology is seamless and it is available from anywhere.

I don't think it has anything to do with H1. I think its just a mistake on their part that they issued this to derivative instead of principal applicant. This is because they are asking for intended permanent employer letter and that terms of LC /I-140 is same. This seems typical of standard employment letter RFE that is issued to the principal applicant.
Is there a way you contact the IO to get confirmation if the RFE is for you or principal applicant? Do keep us updated on how your attorney plans to respond to this.
My Attorney is preparing the reply explaining my derivative applicant status, for all others docs like W2's, Tax returns etc. I am anyway submitting.

Immigration attorneys normally send more than required documents to avoid getting RFEs later on. In this case, the reason people send W-2s (though it is not mandated) and tax returns is to show that you were working and were making approximately equal amount that was mentioned on you H-1B LCA.
Asking for W-2 or tax returns are within the powers of AOS adjudicator and s/he can raise an RFE for such "discretionary evidence".
The tax returns prove that you did not have any other source of income (that directly contradicts your H-1B compliance) and thus you were not employed on another part-time job or any other business of that fashion and complied to the terms of H-1B rules.
There are various factors to consider here:
1. If you know that your H-1B LCA had substantially higher amount and you did not make that much (cause you were on bench or any other reason), it would be far better not to send it. By sending your W-2 in such case, you are actually weakening your case and the AOS officer is going to find it out and will have RFE for it and later you will have a lot of explaining to do. Also, if you had any other form(s) of income (like some people use to make money in day trading and that forms their additional income), it will be wiser not to send your income tax returns and create additonal issues.
2. If you know that you made almost similar amount as mentioned on your H-1B LCA, then you will have to send all W-2 and income tax statements from the time when you were last inspected or paroled by the US immigration officer. Do not give anymore than what is really required of you. By giving unnecessorily more information, you may cause additional issues later on.

I know some of you will be attending the Rally in DC on Sep 18th.
But most wont be attending the rally in DC on the 18th. Wouldnt it be good if the people who are not able to attend the DC rally conduct a rally in Texas at the same day.
This way, there will be a multi pronged effect. In fact, it would have an even greater effect if simultaneous rallies are held in other places too. Like
West Coast (Bay area )
Midwest (Chicago)
Texas (one of the major cities - Dallas, Austin or Houston)
Think of all the local media attention this gets & also the ripple effect into national media.
Any thoughts ??

I agree with the posters who say that the employer is probably trying to frighten you. It is very difficult to restrict a person's right to work wherever they want - or to restrict an employer hiring whoever they want - especially in Texas. However, it is not really an immigration question. You or, ideally the client company, should see an employment lawyer here in Texas.

July 07 485 filer with pd of July 2003 in EB3.
EAD and AP available and can be used for AC21.
Current H1 valid till 2010 July
Got married after filing 485 and so wife does not have EAD etc and is on H4.
Another company wants me to come to their company using EAD as they dont want to file h1. Can I use EAD under AC21 and switch jobs while my wife is still on H4 ?
Is the EAD/AOS status change applicable only when going in and out of the country ? If we decide to stay in the USA till we get a GC, does it matter if I use EAD to change jobs though my wife is on H4 ?

Hi
I used to work to a client in Phx, got an interview request @ a financial firm in New york cleared it and vendor started processin' my H1 transfer. For the interview or for rellocation i wasn't paid anything. But before the start date bcoz of my credit report client rejected my offer.
But the vendor nuthin' in writing was the one who asked me to resign and bcoz of him was on bench for almost 2 1/2 months, now they say somewhere in the contract which says i have to repay all the expenses they spend on me which was close to $5000.
They sent an email sayin' i haven't provided the services to them from the start date indicated on the contract so have to repay them. Will i have to repay them jst bcoz i signed tht piece of the contract but i was rejected by the client, they said they won't try for new jobs i have to search myself as well they haven't paid me anything since they got my H1.
Do i stand any chance if i contact DOL or a lawyer not payin' them.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
mk58581:
First of all, you have provided incomplete details. It appears that you are at fault for having signed an contract, with out understanding the consequences.
Please mention clearly whether the contract is an employment offer? or a specific contract engagement (CON_W2) hour?. If so, what are the remuneration terms, termination terms, etc. I do not understand where is the Vendor relationship coming from? Every contract is give and take. It is definitely possible to find solution to such kind of problems. If the employer is cornering you for refund of expenses incurred, then you may have to find ways to corner him/ them if any of the contract terms were not fulfilled. One good reason can be asking for salary since commencement of employment with Employer. Whether you are in bench or not, the employer is expected to pay you. I hope you have been submitting your timesheets in a timely manner. Please keep those copies for handy incase you need to take up the matter with DOL. You need to talk some seasoned friends, who can help you to draft suitable reply to your employer. You don't need an attorney at this stage.
I wish you Good Luck.

Hi,
Thanks for all the questions.
I will answer as much as possible without causing any damage to ongoing efforts. Please keep
in mind that not everything can be disclosed on public forums.
1. Funds:
We have about 30,000 collected so far. Major expense of running this organization is the fees for our lobbying firm QGA. Minor expenses include administrative costs such as website registration(one time), Organization registration in New Jersey(one time) etc. Other than that, we also have some advertising expenses as we put up ads on some popular websites. Sometimes we have to hire lawyers for certain org activities but those are minor expenses again. We are also paying for the webfax feature but not sure how much. Please dont suggest the free versions of webfax because they dont work and they DID NOT WORK during S 1932.
Please keep in mind that we are avoiding expenses as much as we can that results from members travelling to DC and so far all those expenses have been out of pocket.
QGA is currently working for us right now and we do not have to wait until we have 200K in the bank for QGA to start working.
The board members of IV(Board of directors) would decide if all the financial information could be made public to members on website for accountability reasons and transparency reasons without damaging anything else.
2. Labor backlogs:
Labor backlog problem is an administrative problem, not a legislative problem. There is nothing that is stopping the BECs from doing their job more efficiently as there is no quota restriction mandated by law on labors approved each year. That is the reason it is under "Administrative Goals". Would any law help improve labor backlogs? No. can we still involve congress in it? Yes. It is the intention of IV to draw the attention of lawmakers to the horrible job BECs have done so far as it is the constitutional right and privilege of congress to overlook and oversee the job of the executive.
However, if a backlog victims asks: How much of money/effort is going towards backlog and how much is going towards retrogression? I dont think anyone can answer that question. To be frank with you, this is not like cable TV where you pay $35 for basic cable and then you pay $7 for HBO and $7 more for cinemax etc. IF you think you do not want to contribute money no matter what...here is another choice: Use the resources tab to contact your local congressmen, write letters, send webfaxes etc. Use endorsement of Richard Florida. Prepare a glossy set of documents and drive to your local congressman's office(after appointment ofcourse) and talk to their staff. YOU HAVE THE POWER. ITS IN YOUR HANDS. Immigration voice is not a company providing a service to EB immigrants, its made up of EB immigrants who are serving themselves. See the "TEAM IV" menu on homepage.
[B]3. Sharp drop in contributions:
Yes, there has been a drop in contributions since one week. Part of the reason is that we have 30K which many members may feel is still in the bank. But please understand that we are using those funds and we will run out of them eventually and we would like to keep this effort ongoing until we meet our goals. Quite frankly if the current slowness of funds continue, we cannot last very long.
4. Contacting the lawmakers on your own:
Use all the links under resources tab to learn how to meet your lawmakers. Like I've said before, you owe it to yourself, not to immigration voice to work on this cause. Best case scenario of doing something: We make a difference. Worst case scenario: Nothing happens besides a polite reply from lawmakers' staff.
Thanks for all the questions.
I will answer as much as possible without causing any damage to ongoing efforts. Please keep
in mind that not everything can be disclosed on public forums.
1. Funds:
We have about 30,000 collected so far. Major expense of running this organization is the fees for our lobbying firm QGA. Minor expenses include administrative costs such as website registration(one time), Organization registration in New Jersey(one time) etc. Other than that, we also have some advertising expenses as we put up ads on some popular websites. Sometimes we have to hire lawyers for certain org activities but those are minor expenses again. We are also paying for the webfax feature but not sure how much. Please dont suggest the free versions of webfax because they dont work and they DID NOT WORK during S 1932.
Please keep in mind that we are avoiding expenses as much as we can that results from members travelling to DC and so far all those expenses have been out of pocket.
QGA is currently working for us right now and we do not have to wait until we have 200K in the bank for QGA to start working.
The board members of IV(Board of directors) would decide if all the financial information could be made public to members on website for accountability reasons and transparency reasons without damaging anything else.
2. Labor backlogs:
Labor backlog problem is an administrative problem, not a legislative problem. There is nothing that is stopping the BECs from doing their job more efficiently as there is no quota restriction mandated by law on labors approved each year. That is the reason it is under "Administrative Goals". Would any law help improve labor backlogs? No. can we still involve congress in it? Yes. It is the intention of IV to draw the attention of lawmakers to the horrible job BECs have done so far as it is the constitutional right and privilege of congress to overlook and oversee the job of the executive.
However, if a backlog victims asks: How much of money/effort is going towards backlog and how much is going towards retrogression? I dont think anyone can answer that question. To be frank with you, this is not like cable TV where you pay $35 for basic cable and then you pay $7 for HBO and $7 more for cinemax etc. IF you think you do not want to contribute money no matter what...here is another choice: Use the resources tab to contact your local congressmen, write letters, send webfaxes etc. Use endorsement of Richard Florida. Prepare a glossy set of documents and drive to your local congressman's office(after appointment ofcourse) and talk to their staff. YOU HAVE THE POWER. ITS IN YOUR HANDS. Immigration voice is not a company providing a service to EB immigrants, its made up of EB immigrants who are serving themselves. See the "TEAM IV" menu on homepage.
[B]3. Sharp drop in contributions:
Yes, there has been a drop in contributions since one week. Part of the reason is that we have 30K which many members may feel is still in the bank. But please understand that we are using those funds and we will run out of them eventually and we would like to keep this effort ongoing until we meet our goals. Quite frankly if the current slowness of funds continue, we cannot last very long.

If the Senate passes an immigration bill, it will be vastly different from the measure the House passed on Dec. 16. The two versions would have to be reconciled if a bill is to get to the president to sign. A bill can be virtually rewritten at this stage.
That's the whole point. There are a lot of moderate republicans who would vote with the dems in the senate on the legalization provisions. If they can get 60+ votes, that would send a strong signal to the house - they would then negotiate away from the Sensenbrenner position. On the other hand, if Kyl and Sessions and Cornyn are all allowed to chip away at the senate bill and weaken the vote in the senate then the final bill will probably end up much closer to the Sensenbrenner version. When Reid says the WH should intervene, he is probably not baiting, just seeking help.

This might be a simple stupid question,
Can you please update, if you used a standard 2*2 passport taken here in the applicaiton form or got one 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm as put in the passport form. If yes, where did you took one. The standard size Passport Photo appears to be a little bigger than the one specified in the Passport application.
I used standard 2x2. Its mentioned at their website too.
