people who try to make quick money in couple of years by investing in house is ............... It is better to go and try it out in Las Vegas how lucky you are in making money instead of trying it out in real estate market with the span of 1-2 years in mind.
Even if someone wants to make quick money, here are the few tips. Also these tips are tips and not guidelines.
0. Know your limits. If you earn 100K, your buying power by thumb rule is 300K. So on saferside start searching with the range of 250K-260K. VERY IMPORTANT RULE.
1. Check the rental cost where you live. Example if 2br apt is 1200, then try to limit your mortgage, taxes etc within 1500 assuming you buy at least 3br house.
2. Reverse calulate the down paymet you have to put by subsituting your monthly payment ( apartment rental cost in your area + house tax + $300). Calculate the % of down payment from the above formula.
If the down payment comes to 10-15%, then it is worth buying than renting in your area. If the down payment is above that, then try to meet it. In worst case put 20-30% down payment to keep your mortgage payment lower.
Again, the above information is based on my house search and analysis. Others might have different opinion. Please take it if it is worth for you otherwise just ignore it.

I am on H1/EAD and own a home. Lenders don't deny you a loan solely based on your visa status. Some think its too risky to own a home before getting a green card. I think this is a personal choice you make based on your comfort level. IMHO, we should keep the home ownership out of this. If we include things that are simply not true, it will only make our letter(s) less credible.
guys, these were just examble of personal blurbs. Please feel free to make it your own. However, I have heard of one case right now because of the subprime mess where the lender did not go ahead with the loan because of the risk. i am not saying there arent any banks out there where you wont get a loan, but some banks are switching gears and making really safe loans compared to their risk taking ability a few yrs back.

I had my visa interview in Mumbai on Dec 28th. A PIMS Verfication was required for them to be able to issue me a visa. This is for an H1-B extension of stay - My six years expired in Nov. 2007 and my green card is in process.
I was told the time they are taking for procesing is 48 hours but I still have not received any notification to take my papers to the VFS center.
Has anyone in this situation already received their visa and stamped passport and if so how long did it take?

You are right! It seems USCIS has an "acceptance" probem...
Can't accept
1. Legitimately filed I-485s
2. Affectionately sent flowers
3. To top it all, its own "ineeficiency"

I got fired last April. I had my I-140 approved. Employer HR told me will not withdraw I-140 but cannot give me employer letter. How should I proceed with filing I-485? Please help.
Thanks
I have seen some posts that suggest using paystubs but this is tricky for you since you won't have anything recent since last April. One gamble would be to file and hope you get an RFE after 6 months when you can get a letter from a new employer ie AC21. However USCIS is warning that they will reject applications if the 'initial evidence' is missing. Do you have a new LC? If so, you could file I-140 premium processing and keep your original PD. Is your former employer willing to re-employ you in the future (assuming your job loss was related to the employer's financial issues) ?? You likely will need a lawyer to work around the hurdles you are facing.

i dont think you will see a spike for jul/aug 2007 because thousands of apps got filed then, but this report is based off of the PD, not the date the 485 was applied.
hope i'm making sense.
5pm.. time to check out :)

Also send fax/email to congressmen/senator/Assit Chief of USCIS. I did my part.
I am in also facing the same situation...My employer says, the attorney clubbed some applications into one box and sent it, and donot know which box my application is, hence no fed ex number. Hopefully it should he been reached by july 2nd...No Receipts No Checks cleared...waiting for Sept 30 to call USCIS (after 90 days of filing)...most probably my application would have received by R.MICKELS, Delivery date: Jul 2, 2007 9:01 AM. I have got a list of tracking numbers from the attorney, only this tracking number details shows 4 lbs...hence thinking that my application is clubbed in this one. This was sent to Nebraska service center, My I-140 approved from Texas on June 25th. CAdude, Can you add my details onto the list. The compiled list show the time stamps are very close....

I am upto 14 letters signed, sealed and mailed to the President. I am waiting on a few more to come....It took probably an hour over the past week. Guess what...in the process I educated over 20 Americans about our issues. Guys this can have a cascading effect if we talk to people we know and get these letters. We all need to step up and actively talk to all Americans we know and get these letters. They are our support bank when its time for larger fixes and we need Americans to call their Congressman & Senators to help us.
Talk to EVERYONE you know and get a letter signed. It would be great if everyone mentioned the number of letters they have got when they put out posts on this thread. Lets not just talk the talk but WALK the TALK!!!:D
Over the past couple of days I have had 10 of my friends/colleagues who have signed the letter and they have been mailed out to the president. I also have copies of them to mail out to IV once I have all that I can get..
I plan to call my Senators & Congressman's office's today too. I believe we need to get through to our friends and colleagues and talk about the issues in this letter. I have yet to come across one person who does not agree that our situation needs the attention of the administration.
I know I can get a few more of these letters signed by the end of this week.
Anyone out there who has more letters going out??:D
Lets have some healthy competition!

Oh there is no corruption in western democracies. :) LOL
Iraq war had no corruption
Halliburton deal had no corruption,
AIG had no corruption, BOA , Citi had no corruption.
Lobbying had no corruption
The texas cops who took money were not corrupt.
Abu Ghraib was very morally correct.
Blackwater was a very level headed company.
Did all this happen in some communist eastern state?
Hey Moro1n, the difference is, most americans agree that things are going wrong. We don't whitewash what happened unlike what your compatriots are trying to do here, when someone brings up corruption in India. I cited surveys by international agencies that make comparisons that consider a number of factors, not by anecdotal evidence based on a few high profile news stories.
Wasn't most of these corruption stories broken and pursued by american media itself? Didn't republicans lose power in 2006/2008 elections?

I'm with Lingo since 2005 and I just changed over to the Hello World Max plan today (thanks to this thread). I called to ask if there is any penalty for cancelling and moving to Vonage since I am getting free calls to India and the CSR (a desi gal BTW) told me about this plan. She said there was no contract to switch and it would take effect from next billing cycle. She waived the plan change fee but wouldnt give me 2 months free like Vonage.
So for now, I'll stick with them since now I really dont have much to bitch about. My phone bill comes ~$60 right now (yes I make a lot of India calls) so am glad to see it drop in half.
As far as taxes go, it depends on your address so I think Vonage and Lingo should both be the same since the taxes are paid to Federal, State, County, City and they dont discriminate between companies. I know a friend who registered his phone in some god forsaken place since taxes there are very low but since this VOIP is my primary line, I need to have some kind of 911 service and am fine with the tax.
Here is the taxes for Lingo service for VA.
Federal Taxes & Fees: 0.36
Universal Services: 4.64
State Taxes & Surcharges: 3.37
County/Local Taxes: 0.00
Presubscribed Inter-exchange Carrier Chrg: 0.00
Regulatory Recovery Fee for XXXXX 1.99
Emergency Services Fee for XXXXXX 1.99
---------------------------------------------------
Total Fees, Taxes & Surcharges: 12.35
Talked to lingo Customer Service now.
When existing customers change to the new Max plan, they have to sign up for a new 2 year contract.
Also have to wait till the next billing cycle for the plan to take effect.

Yes, "Interviewing" is not written there. And we all know that "Recruiting" or "Hiring" is not equivalent of "interviewing"
The employer will come up with many excuses to not interview a candidate or hire. If the law doesn't allow you to discriminate when hiring based on national origin or EAD or whatever, rejecting candidates even for an interview doesn't make sense.
Interview is part of the hiring and recruiting processes. Would you say employers putting a job ad saying we will only interview someone from a particular nationality is allowed?
However, the more important point is we are fighting to get multi-year EAD in IV among other things. The law doesn't allow discrimination based on EAD for hiring. Let the govt lawyers and employers figure it out if not even interviewing candidates because of EAD comes under the purview of hiring or not and if it is legal or not.

I think, you meant earlier. No I won't because it won't yield anything. Its water under the bridge.
I did mean later not earlier! It would yield you your GC! Most GC approved this month so far has gone to people with PD 2006. One of those is possibly yours!
So go ahead and file a lawsuit.

My labor was filed in July 04 on EB2, but approved under EB3 category only. My attorney contacted uscis to with the amendment saying that my LC should have been approved under EB2 category. Finally, got a letter from uscis in Feb 2007 that my LC was approved under EB2. Could that be the reason that I did not get GC yet even my PD is current.
Please contact IO using POJ method or send a follow up email to your service center asking about your PD and categorisation. Once you know what is in their system (EB2 or EB3 ?) , then you can follow up with them to rectify it.
AFAIK, in inter-filling,applicant has to do lot of followups to get correct PD on their file.

It is not confirmed yet whether they would consider all of the 12k towards the decision for the May Bulletin or not.
They might want to disperse the 12k numbers in the subsequent months, if they try to be a little conservative.
This is a very simple calculation. Following are the numbers before Oct -2006. These total to ~ 12K.
EB2-C - 3521
EB2-I - 9345
The dates will move further if more than 12K numbers are infused into the system. I would say that the dates should be in Oct - Nov 2006 range with these 12K numbers, having Nov as buffer as they may issue RFE's to folks.

How the forms to be printed? One sided or back to- back?
