The Process of giving Birthright citizenship is a law called Jus Soli(14th Amendment) which was implemented in 1900's . Numbersusa and others are fighting to change the Jus soli to jus sanguinis which gives citizenship based on the child's parents Status to reduce the "Numbers".India Abolished Jus Soli in 1987 and dosent offer Birthright citizenship. I think going this Route to discuss the possibility to fight for parents naturalisation based on child's status will make us no different from Illegal Immigrants.
I see that term gets thrown around a lot when discussing illegal immigrants. And the words that come to my mind are "Even the mafia did not go after women and children". The fact that people attempt to reduce innocent children to a loaded label like that is nauseating.

PTO is a new one for me. Paid Time Off??
You can work with the new employer while H1B is pending, for 240 days as far as I know. There is premium processing if H1B doesn't come on time.
3 days without pay is not a gap in employment if the employer-employee relationship is maintained. Don't worry too much. Even in normal circumstances, it takes a few days to relocate.
Yep. Paid Time Off (PTO) - This will allow me to get regular checks until PTO is exhausted.
Actually, my question is it LEGAL to work for the New employer (After filing H1B Transfer and getting the receipt) when on PTO (Paid Time Off) with current employer?

This database gives me an idea: Can someone who is good at programming extract all the data and build reports on how many labor certifications are there by category and by chargeability? IV tracker can also use this information to a certain extent. Unfortunately I am not a programmer so I cannot do it but I am sure for experienced programmer this should be a piece of cake.
What do ya guys say? Any takers? Also we should know how to interpret the data. I have asked additional questions in my previous post. Answer to those will help us a lot.

Replied to your PM.
If I were you, I would consider getting a second opinion from a renowned lawyer.
Would request you to elaborate a bit.
Note that I am not using either my EAD or my AP. All I am using is H1-B and my Canadian Passport to enter and leave US. Most people on the Canadian US border to that.
Also, I commute to US everyday to work, which is less than an interval of 12 hours.
Your input is greatly appreciate. Thank you.

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) -
Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?
That is correct unless you have other grounds for new H1b petition (highly unlikely at this point in one's stage) - Per Yates as well as Neufeld memo,
If at any time before or after the filing of the single (combined) extension request a final decision is made on the above-stated grounds, the beneficiary of the extension request will not be entitled to an extension beyond the time remaining on his or her 6-year maximum stay unless another basis for exceeding the maximum applies.

Please use this:
We have been model "future citizens" by paying all our taxes, abiding by civic laws and meticulously making sure that we never get out of our precarious H-1 B visa status. This is how we are rewarded. This isn't a "grand bargain" it is not even an "amnesty" as many anti-immigrants are labeling it, this is worse, it is a "travesty." Bravo US Senate, you just proved that playing by the rules is such an unAmerican trait. We learn that from your grand bargain. Better late than never. So being illegal, not paying taxes will yeild you a green-card after 8 years of z-visa. How about many of us that have been subjected to endless waits, thousands of dollars in USCIS Fees, paying taxes for the last 8 or more years. Do we have to wait for another 8-10 years?. With the "grand-bargain" it does seem like it will be more years for legals waiting in line.
I like to think that being illegal is better than legal as per the provisions in CIR!
What do you think of H4-spouses who can't work whereas those illegal can now apply for a work-visas!
What do you think of parents who were not issued visitor visas for silly reasons? Whereas those who by hook or crook got here are being given work-visas?
How come the illegals are guaranteed a GC within 5 years and the current legal immigrants are NOT?
How come the illegals can work and the legal residents on certain visas can't?
How come the illegals can work for any employer while H1Bs can't?
I am not against giving these benefits to illegals if that's how it needs to fixed. But what about us, the bright and good folks!!
When did h1b become a joke?
This grand-compromise is not making sense at all. It's smelling real bad for legal-visa holders.
I would like to hear from you folks..

Hi all,
I am from Grand Rapids. I'd like to help.
I think, It would be a good idea to get an approximate count of legal immigrants who are stuck in the GC process in Michigan. We should use these numbers to write to our Senator and make them feel that the State of Michigan is not about americans only, its about us as well.
What are you thoughts? Amit, do you want me to email you on your email address?
thanks

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?
.............
Thanks
Yes, a new passport ( from one of the US embassies in India). I don't think it is a new PIO card, but the new passport number will be 'annotated' in the Passport ( Indian embassies in US charge $20 for that ).

Called USCIS and they are asking me to take an Infopass appointment.
Update1: Infopass appointment was not useful. They asked us to wait for the notification from MSC.
Sorry to hear about that ... try taking another infopass ... they should assist.
Like dhundhun said there must be a procedure for shuttling packets between offices
(When we did a infopass for EAD delay - we got a really good rep - but for a friend of mine the rep was less than helpful - for the exact same thing)

my new 140 is file in april and is approved. got my EAD and AP. But no FP.
I also dont expect to get the GC so fast. its more of a red flag and concern what they are trying to look for.
No Red Flag as the letter clearly says it is a standard interview.
It will be a formality where you show your status was always legal and you have a valid job offer in line with your Labor. That will be it.

I think the contributions are only from those who visit this forum regularly on a day to day basis. I think there are just many people who might have just registered to get some updates but don't necessarily visit this or any other forum regularly.
A lot of people I know get their updates from the web site of one of the law firms, but don't necessarily participate in this or any other forum. Otherwise, they just carry on with their lives hoping some law will pass some day.
Some of those to whom I have talked about contributing to IV have politely said they will take a look at it. Otherwise, I feel they have just been institutionalized in their current setup and lives. I don't think the message has really reached them that there is a need to participate and contribute in a organization like IV and try and make a difference.

So you mean I should not even think of invoking AC21 EVEN after 180 days ?
Maybe some people had problems using AC21. But at the same time a lot of people do use it. Every person must take the decision after consultation with a good attorney in AC21 matters and after looking at their own GC, Job, career and personal life situations. There are some areas like salary and same or similar job criteria that must be carefully looked at. There is no general answer to the question above. Each person must do what is best for them. It is speculated that a lot of people will invoke AC21 from next month after crossing 180 days and seeing that the upcoming visa bulletins will only push the dates back for countries like India and China. This would certainly frustrate a lot of people who do not see any career growth and may have to decide if they wish to be stuck in the same job for several more years or change jobs.

Why don't we just voluntarily mention the amount that we contributed in our signatures ? Since contributions are voluntary, so should be the option of disclosing information on it. When many contributing members start furnishing their contribtion information voluntarily, it becomes the "fashion" and others will follow suit, as no one wants to look like a free-rider.
As for the veracity of the information, we got to trust each other on that and follow an audit policy- I assume the core members/ administrators have the ability to cross-check the contribution information if someone looks suspicious. Anyone caught furnishing false information can be blacklisted. Such a policy minimises the work of the core team, without being overly intrusive.

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
Yes, You can certainly do that. If it would have been Year 2000 it was very simple but now in year 2007 it's bit tedious. I am Trying to explain as under. And this is not a legal advice just an opinion.
Rule:
-----
More than 180 days stay in USA (You will have to prove that) is a MUST condition for getting ITIN. The key is more than 180 days. It does not tell that stay should be continuous.
How to do it?
------------
1) Have US MULTIPLE ENTRY Visitor visa, generally 6 months visa are
granted. But that is 180 days not more than 180 days. No Problem.. Go to
step 2
2) During first stay of 6 months of stay in USA, get Canadian Vistor visa and
send your parents to Canada on the day before the last day of the
first stay.
3) After some days invite your parents back to USA. This will most probably a
another 6 month grant.
4) Do not call IRS for applying ITIN
5) Search for the bank in your area which requires and processes ITIN
application directly with IRS for the application of opening checking/savings
bank account for the people who do not have social security number. Every state and major city has such kind of
banks. Your regular bank may not be autorized by IRS to apply for ITIN on behalf of its
customer.
6) Go to that bank and tell the manager to open a checking account for
Visitor visa holder and from that point onwards bank will take care of.
7) Wait for 15 to 20 days and you will have your Parents ITINs mailed to you.
8) And in next return you will be able to claim them as dependent.
Note: Guys who did in year 2000 around did not have to take this tedious route. So you mayl get both kind of opinions in this forum. If somebody says just apply to IRS tehn that guy probably might have done it in at least 4 years back. But nowadays you may have to do as I worte. Take the advise from your CPA.
