AFAIK, those who become ligible to receive stimulus in 2008 can claim stimulus of previous year. IRS will post information - how to claim it.
UPDATE: Refer to (Thanks gc_dedo) irs has already posted ...
There is no fresh memo for becoming ligible, it still holds that both filing jointly should have SSN. If one was not having SSN (in 2007) and could not get last year (in 2008) still won't get stimulus - unless ligibility is changed by IRS and ITIN is brought into it.
I am not sure how much this mechanism works - file alone to get stimulus and then modify return by filing jointly. People who have done this (with 2007 return) should post their experience of returns of 2008 - whether IRS allowed it or not.

First of all, ethnicity has nothing to do with hard cap.
First of all, you have to understand what hard-cap implies. Hard cap is a new thing proposed in the bill out of judiciary commitee that PREVENTS over-subscribed countries(Usually that's India and China each year) from using the UNUSED visa numbers each year.
EMPHASIS ON UNUSED.
So, given the 10 percent per country(it is 7% today) each country can and would use UPTO 10 percent of available visas first. FIRST. Usually what happens is that India and China use up their numbers and other countries do not use their own quota. So the unused numbers would be then alloted to India and China rather than being unused to diverted to FB categories.
So the removal of hard cap has NOTHING to do with diversity - ethnically or nationality-wise. HARD CAP DOES NOT PROTECT any country.
Today, the soft cap exists, and the numbers are retrogressed only for India and China. REST of the world is current. Hard cap would make things worse for only those countries that have higher demand and WASTE the visa numbers.
Please get your analysis on hard-cap Vs Soft-cap, the visa usage numbers etc. before you emphasize ethnic diversity as the two have NOTHING to do with each other.

I was in Chennai for a visa stamping on Dec 20th. The process both outside and inside the consulate has improved a lot. This was my 5th visit to get a H1 stamp. This time the experience was a little bit different in that they sent me back saying the photos i had were unacceptable. It is not a big deal to get the passport photos outside the consulate but does create a tense situation which can be avoided. I took photos from here (picture people - told them it was for US visa) and it was unacceptable in Chennai. Please make sure that you have the photos as per the VFS specs mentioned on the website. Other than the photos the only thing i was asked was the most recent W2. No questions. Hope this info helps.

Well hollow or shallow does it help you?
hmhmh =------- NO!
Stop questioning EB2 or EB3, they both represent EB community. Yes you maybe right about people thinking about EB2 faster thatn EB3,
But have you followed the bulletin lately?
And the ways things are going, do you really think EB 2 will clear fast and then EB3 will gain a faster movement?
Golden Answer? NO
Whether you like it or not, we need each other, the impact is always greater when the intensity applied to it is greater.
You can keep thinking about how hollow you and I are, but the fact is we both need each other. Everyone see's us as EB community, not as EB2 or EB3,
Most of those Morons don't even understand the difference between H1b and green cards,
So get yourself to think EB community as a whole, not EB2 or EB3, or who benefits first?
So, is that a yes on getting USCIS to follow the law? As I said, it is about getting USCIS to follow the law, it is not EB2/EB3 centric. Given that the demand for Eb3/EB2 that is going to see-saw, this should be an action item that will benefit EB on a whole, not a particular sub category.

I am still waiting for everything. The only thing I have so far is Card Production email I received. I have not received approval mails or the cards. What is interesting is that 2 days before I received the CPO email I also received FP notices which is scheduled for first week of Nov. So I am confused whether or not they really approved my I-485.

You want to see the March VB:) ?
Why waste time? Just look at Feb VB..it will be the ditto copy n paste.
The lazy html programmer might have already cut it by now. He will take 3 days to paste it into a new page. After all that 'hard work', he will bring out a broken link on the 4th day.
Really getting tired of this monthly ritual!
The fun lies in the anticipacation for a forward movement! Its like the first thing you want to make sure to atrt your month!

We went home after my wife started working using the EAD. After we came back we applied for your H1 and H4 extension and one we got that now we are in H status instead of EAD status. It is a little tricky. When we came back we entered as parolee but once we applied and extended our H1\H4 status we ar eback to H1\H4 status. Your lawyer would be able to explain it better.
My lawyer suggetsed that it is better to be in H status as it gives some manuvering time and opportunity in case the 485 is denied.
Thanks
khans02,
Based on your message, it seems that you and your wife are in H1/H4 status now after the extension. Does that mean that your wife has now stopped working?...because you have mentioned that she was working on EAD before you guys left for India.

Is this call GC specific questions related or can we ask OPT/H1/Cap Gap questions also?
You can ask any personal Immigration application related questions. The attorney is qualified to answer any Green card related, F1, H1, L1, Visitor visa, EAD OPT etc and even Family visa questions.

Last time Hillary introduced a bill for giving gc to spouses of gc persons. They rejected because republicans think it will add hundreds of thousands new immigrants. Basically they do not want to add new numbers. Best time is at the time CIR lobbying can be done
H1-H1 couple can support status of each other (H1-H4 or H4-H1)
H1-F1 couple can support each other (H1-H4 or F1-F2)
But
GC guy can't support status if H1 spouse lost job and became out of status
GC guy can't support status if F1 spouse becames out of status
GC guy can't bring spouse from home country
UNLESS SPOUSE/Kids goes through complete F2A visa process (several years)
It can make life of GC spouse miserable (of course GC guy also). Imagine GC-H1 marriage, H1 out of status after loss of job. After loss of status, H1 spouse has to return, but GC spouse will try to remain in USA for own status and in hope to bring spouse back after getting citizenship.

Question...see below in bold
The issue is that my company lawyer said that there will be a need for a visa stamping done for the extension because of the Last action rule. The murthy forum reference is something I dug up via google.
Because the extension will be for a future date (March 1).
-- Question: Is this extension based on I-140 is different than the extension you get for the second 3 year out of 6 year? If not, then why I-94 can not be given date adding the extension of 3 year ?
Current visa stamp is till Feb 28, 2007. So if the officer gives a new I-94 with Feb 28, 2007 as the validity date, the attorneys claim that it will invalidate the approved extension due to a "Last Action Rule".
It is hard to trust these corporate lawyers.

Hi pd,
thanks for the post - its useful.
There is comment in the report about the EAD/AP validity for three years, as in "Employment authorization documents (EAD) are presently valid for one year at a time. The CIS is about to extend this validity to three years. The same is true of advance parole (AP) documents".
I thought they are now giving two years for EAD (if PD is under retrogession) - this plan of extending this validity to three years - is it new or some sort of typo? If true - that would be good.
