It all boils down how one interprit the following statement...
"AILA believes the language emphasized merely signals that one would lose his underlying nonimmigrant status by changing employers, rather than by adding one."

My boss recently changed and the work environment is not good anymore (never imagined this would happen), I am in a constant pressure and no job security. It's a shocker in a fulltime state job.
We bought a house last year needless to say that the prices have fallen. We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices - house, 2 cars (They looked good at that time though) and put about 10% on the house.
We were planning on to invest all our savings in the house as we recently paid off our two cars and no other debts. But after reading some posts here on the housing and investment market. I am not sure if I want to put everything in the house, having my job at risk and no GC yet.
Being a novice in fianancial matters, need advice.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.

When I check onlin Status of my AP, I see it says "The document has been mailed on Sep 10th". In reality, I got the AP in mail on Sep 19th. The envelope was postmarked on Sep 17th.
My understanding is that the approved documents go to the mail room. It may wait in the mailroom till someone puts it in an envelope and add postage on it. I guess they are mailing thousands of envelopes everyday, so it may take some time at the mailing room.

I thought that I will share my recent experience.
I arrived in USA in 2003 on a L1 visa.
It was expiring soon, but instead of renewing, because of fear of denial, my company converted me to H1 using premium processing.
Department of state was going to close the VISA revalidation process, so in 2004 I sent my passport to them and got a h1 Stamp (within the USA).
I changed my employer later using H1 transfer and they kept renewing my H1 petition.
My new employer also started my GC processing and in Jul 2007 I applied for my 485 along with wife's.
Since then I have been working with the same employer on EAD.
After a long time I wanted to visit India, so applied and got my AP.
Although I had my AP, I wanted to visit India, get an h1 stamp and reenter on H1.
This is because EAD is taking too long for renewal.
I went to India, visited Mumbai Consulate, they did not ask me a single document.
They understood that I was asking for a stamp after 7 years, so they asked me "so your GC process is ON huh?". I said, "Yup".
No other questions asked.
I got my h1 stamp in 2-3 days.
Planning to reenter USA on that stamp.
Once I return my company will switch me from EAD to H1.
Hopefully EAD will arrive after that.
I will just keep that handy.
If I move to another employer, I will have a choice, use H1 or EAD.
I am keeping my H1 for the only reason, that if 485 gets rejected for any stupid reasons, I will have a way to fall back on something.
I have a house and a small kid born in the USA, don't want to have ANY illegal status, even for a day.
Wife will continue to work on EAD.
H1 is valid for 3 years, so I can travel to and fro USA to other countries with much more ease than the AP.
Plus I don't have to pay the crazy AP fees each time.
Please do comment if you find this information useful or any issues in my plans stated above.
I will update this post when I arrive back in USA.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please let us know where did you get your stamping and also what questions and documents were asked?
Thanks.

I think USCIS is working towards reducing the backlogs. It could be starting point for all EB community to feel better
With IV success, I foresee the EB categories as current at any point of time. And GC process is less than 3 years for any EB category

Didn't understand you specifically mentioning "US Stem Graduate" in your signature. What do you want to convey through this statement. Ofcourse other statements looks OK.
Thanks for taking notice. That is because of a issue a lot of us face, being eligible for Eb2, but filed under Eb3 due to employer, attorney, etc. etc. et al. Any more Q's I would be pleased to oblige. I will put my category next to that to make it a little more clear :rolleyes:

Ok I have started exploring other alternatives but still I don't want to let go my efforts which I put for completing couple of subjects so I went back to U21 global and they said that they can give me degree from University of Melbourne, if I opt for it. So now I want to evaluate getting degree from University of Melbourne is ok? It seems they just now got AACSB accreditation.
The University of Melbourne Becomes Second School in Australia to Earn AACSB International Accreditation in Business and Accounting (http://www.aacsb.edu/media/releases/2011/accreditation-university-of-melbourne.asp)
However I am not sure the online program will have AACSB accreditation.
Is there any location where I can go and check that degree from University of Melbourne is valid?

All this would only help the child continue to stay in US with a Legal Status.. But he/she would still be a dependent(H-4) that means cannot do any part-time job & at the same time pay higher tuition fees.. whereas the DREAM Act proposes to give GC status to the children of illegal immigrants.. seems a tad too unfair for those who abide by the law!

You can enquire with the Canadian authorities if they will collect it and pass it on the US post. If not you can take a U turn once you enter Canada and go back to US to give them the I-94 and take a U turn again to re-enter Canada.

It does not matter if you work for fortune 500. There could still be fraud or suspecion. Read Indian IT cos face US visa fraud woes - Corporate News - livemint.com (http://www.livemint.com/2011/04/11164715/indian-it-cos-face-us-visa-fra.html)
There has been years if not decades of abuse of US visa by most IT consulting/services companies. Eventually it reached epidemic proportions and eventually we are seeing a massive crackdown.

see below:
Let us say I accumulate 40 points and return to India for good. Do I still get Social Security in India if -
1. I am a US Citizen living in India?
yes
2. If I am a GC holder living in India?
yes
3. I am neither a US citizen nor a GC holder living in India?
yes
Any helpful links are appreciated. I have tried to calculate benefits using Social Security benefits calculator, but if you key in residence outside USA and non-citizen, it does not work...
Dont bother calculating this because by the time you become 65 SS will not be the same as it is today, it can be bankrupt or the retirement age would increase to 75..80 god knows. I dont think anyone can give you a solid answer to this particular question. the calculator does not include your specific situation

If you have been unsuccessful in trying to get an appointment in NJ, try some NYC centers. I got mine done during the weekend at the following center:
Dr. Anthony D. Blau, Green Card Medical Exams
305 Broadway, 4th Floor, Room 444, New York, NY 10007
(212) 766-4433
On weekdays, they have walk-ins. And the best part - it is cheap only $185 for the whole thing - tests, shots, everything. Extremely professional, my wife and I got out within an hour of reaching there. We just have to go once more to check our skin.

I will not be good in english (en fact with the new bill i am in trouble....) but as european i can tell what is the real situation in europe is different of what Communique says. I have lived in French, for more than one year, and the problem was that the French has take the communique version on the immigration, means under class of citizen. That`s the real problem. It`s funny that nobody speaks about what happens in England, where they decided for a full integration or in Spain, or even in Nederland, no riots down there, how is possible?

My employer has always provided me the receipt numbers. I'm talking about the physical receipt notice which I might need just in case i need to invoke AC21.
I am sure you(we) can use Freedom of information act to get reciepts. If you know that reciepts were issued and your employer is hiding

No. You do not pay double Taxes.
US & Canada have a tax treaty. Nearly always Canadian Income Tax is higher than US, so you pay US taxes first and then when you file Canadian taxes you get credit for the amount of US Taxes you paid.
so ex you make 70 K and your US Taxes come to 20 K , you go ahead and pay 20K. Then when you file Canadian taxes, your tax amt comes out to be say 25 K You will then only pay Canada Revenue 5 K difference.
Only complication is Canada doesnt recognise US 401K contribution or mortgage as tax deductable, so you will have to calc Canadian taxes on gross income.
