    There is a different thread also going on, but sharing it here for anyone who have not noticed it yet. RG updated his website with below information.

    Good news concerning AOS denials based on I-140 revocations
    (http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=25832)

    Looks like the header of that thread is misleading...though its a good news for those suffering because CIS error, it can mislead some IV visitors that issue is over. Unfortunately this is not the case, though it is some what relief to know that MTR are successful. However in first place, an applicant should not have to go through this HORROR. I wish CIS comes out and accept this error and make sure that this is not repeated again in future.

    These visa bulletins, and EAD renewals, and H-1B extensions are not going to cut it for those who want GC's sooner than later. Please help IV to help you.

    1) Make those ever important phone calls, and
    2) Contribute financially

    Don't let this opportunity pass by. Don't let the same visa bulletin get you 3 years down the line. Only we can help push these reforms, no one else is out there to help us!

    You stated dual intent immigrants. In letter and spirit.
    That contradicts US Embassy provisions of H1 stamping, when you first go for the visa interview. Doesn't the US Embassy/Consulate state that you should be able to prove your intent NOT to abandon your country of origin, show you family ties, financial connections. Am I right? I can give a ton of links from US Consulate web sites with those exact words.

    Now, what you are talking is dual intention: get H1B visa and get on the permanent residence highway, at the earliest opportunity.
    It's OK to start with an empty kitty in SS and Medicare account, just when are about to get your Green Card than to walk back to your country losing 10 to 20 grand of your own money after 6 or 7 years. Uncle Sam should not collect SS Tax and Medicare from temporary workers. Period.

    Although on first reading I was agreeing with the person who indicated that deducting SS and Medicare from non-immigrants does not make sense, lets look at it from another perspective... most of us would agree that more than 50 to 60% of non-immigrants or dual intent immigrants (read H1 visas for the purpose of this thread) are trying to obtain their permanent residency. Now, if the SS and Medicare are not deducted while you are on a H1B (boy, the employers would love this because as per law they have to match your deduction dollar for dollar) and you get your green card, you would be essentially starting with an empty kitty (i.e. the benefits that you would have accrued over the 9-10 years that it took you to get your GC are zero. Now, whose loss is that? I think, the better alternative would be the proposal by Sen. Kyle/Sen. Cornyn where they advocate that a temporary worker who has to go back will get the money when he leaves. If you don't and get your GC done, then the money goes into the SS/Medicare kitty and that way nobody loses.:)

    Khnmbd is correct, if we demand not paying SS and Medicare, we probably stand to alienate ourselves from the mainstream. The very reason we are asked to pay SS/Medicare is because the H1B/L1 visas are considered to be dual-intent visas. That is the reason why students on F1 visa are exempt from paying SS/Medicare. Hope this clarifies a few issues and results in cooling down the temperatures:D

    Gurus,

    I am about to switch jobs using EAD. I am worried that if my current employer revokes my 140, CIS may by mistake cancel my pending AOS. I am mentally prepared for this and talk to lawyer to be ready to file MTR in this case. However here is my question.

    1. Will this immediately cancel my EAD? if so, I may have to resign.
    2. If I continue working while filling for MTR, will it be illegal?
    3. How much it costs to go thru' MTR process? How long it takes?

    I read on some other website that denying 485 doesn't automatically cancel your EAD. Any inputs?

    Hi Vin,

    TeamIV completed its goal over a 12 month span, we raised approx $3000. If you are looking to contribute now, we can still collect money from you. If you are seriously interested, please PM me right away and i get you the details of how to contribute. 100% of your donation will go towards IV's lobbying efforts.

    Thanks for your interest in helping IV.

    And if you need to find out who is leading an initiative, it is pretty much in the first post of the new thread. So it is easy to pinpoint that person, then you can contact him/her to contribute to their campaign (how come i didn't hear from you? :-) )

    Nola

    Here is my point. I spend several hours 3-4 hours at least every day looking through the forum posts hoping to find ways i can contribute to efforts. There are several ideas that are generated in the forum. But cannot find out who is leading it. All i am saying is if we can have a listing of initiatives with some names associated. So i can contribute to the ones that i can support.

    I am not sure if i am asking for too much here. I am not a IT guy. I do not know what it takes to post it in the front page.

    A general question - Is it normal to see LUDs on the 485, approved 140, approved 765/131 a few (3) weeks after sending AC21/G28N documentation in?

    I changed employers about a month ago (140 approved, 485 pending more than 180 days), and the new company filed AC21 on Nov 3. I saw a soft LUD on my 765, 131, 485, 140 yesterday (Nov 24) and another soft LUD on just my 485 today (Nov 25). I wonder if these have to do with the AC21 and G-28N updates or if it is a sign of I-140 revocation and I should expect a 485 denial soon?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    g 28 does produce soft LUds so it is normal. Now AC21 documentation - whether it reaches file or not we don't know.

    Thats why you dont want this rumor to come true... ask your lawyer to sent it ASAP..

    dude..i'm a straight guy..go find some other man....

    and as much as i would like this rumour to come true (will create another lawsuit from 80% people who haven't filed).. i still wont give in...

    finally..even if the lawsuit is filed..it would take years to settle by that time i hope and pray everyone gets to file..

    I have some questions?

    1. Can you work for your wife and also get paid in check? or I will have to go for cash payment?
    2. Can I have a second job in my wife's company and retain the original job?
    3. Can I have a different occupation in my wife's company which is totally not related to my original job role? and then can I get paid in check or cash?
    4. Can I work for my wife's company and instead of me my wife gets the check? Is that legal?

    Thanks.

    For all those who have sent PM.... Please note I am not an attorney or accountant... But then I had consulted my account and few attorney's ( paid the required fees to get them answered)... So please use your own judgement/caution.

    1. Yes you can open a LLC singly or jointly with your wife/friend/anyone.

    2. You can start the LLC even when you are on H1B but it is better that you wait till you get your EAD to get oprationalized. reason very very conservative view is that you cannot even write a check for your company or deposit a check... but this is a very conservative view....

    3. To open a LLC you can use an accountant ( if you have one, it will be cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars) or use agencies like www.legalzoom.com/legalzip/LLCs/llc_procedure.html .... I have used both in the past....

    4. Intially you can just form LLC as single or joint partnership and then elect as S corporations for taxing.... I forget within which period it is to be done, if I correctly remember when you file your first tax return or within 6 months you need to elect as filing as single person entity( then it becomes like your personal income) or you could elect as S corp....

    5. You will a tax id for the LLC, business license and other documents when you form a LLC, You will need to maintain book and tax records for 3 years... best to have it managed by an accountant

    6. You/ your spouse can work for your LLC.... Some of you if you want to after 180 days change employers can move into your LLC and maintain that you are employed in same occupational duties for your own LLC...


    Hope I have been able to answer your questions....:cool:

    Pl create a webfax that I can send to my Senator or congresswoman. Or create a package that we can print and mail to the senators/reps.

    Pappu bhai do something regarding this.

    Rax1, why do you need PAPPU to do something, why can you not call and Fax something yourself? Are you not proficient in English, are you not educated enough.

    Can you not write a ONE page letter spedifying what happened on July 2nd and how it affected your life and that of your family? Can you not call your local senator and congressperson and educate them about what went down on July 2nd?

    Come on people, if you want JUSTICE, get up and do something YOURSELF. All we are asking you to do is Write ONE page letters. Does The IV core have to spoon feed us EVERYTHING? If you are busy ask someone in your family to do this for you.

    :confused::confused:We cannot start a S-corp on EAD. Need to be GC holder or US Citizen.
    ...
    Should a Corporation's owners later wish to be taxed as an S-Corporation, they would file a "Subchapter S" federal tax election (Form 2553) within 75 days of incorporating or within 75 days of the beginning of the calendar year. To do this, the Corporation would need to have less than 100 owners, all of whom must be either U.S. Citizens or permanent resident aliens ("green card" holders). Once the "S" tax election is made, the return to be filed is the 1120 "S", rather than the 1120. Whether or not you decide to be taxed as an S-Corporation, your company is still a "General Corporation" in the eyes of the state of incorporation.
    ...
    [
    But we can setup Solo or Partership or C-Corp. Don't run into legal issues by setting up S-Corp on EAD, before getting GC.

    Good luck.

    I am excerpting Internal Revenue Code Section 1361 below:
    Internal Revenue Code
    � 1361 S corporation defined.


    (a) S corporation defined.

    (1) In general.
    For purposes of this title, the term �S corporation� means, with respect to any taxable year, a small business corporation for which an election under section 1362(a) is in effect for such year.

    (2) C corporation.
    For purposes of this title, the term �C corporation� means, with respect to any taxable year, a corporation which is not an S corporation for such year.

    (b) Small business corporation.

    (1) In general.
    For purposes of this subchapter, the term �small business corporation� means a domestic corporation which is not an ineligible corporation and which does not�

    (A) have more than 100 shareholders,

    (B) have as a shareholder a person (other than an estate, a trust described in subsection (c)(2) , or an organization described in subsection (c)(6) ) who is not an individual,

    (C) have a nonresident alien as a shareholder, and
    (D) have more than 1 class of stock.

    (2) Ineligible corporation defined.
    For purposes of paragraph (1) , the term �ineligible corporation� means any corporation which is�

    (A) a financial institution which uses the reserve method of accounting for bad debts described in section 585 ,

    (B) an insurance company subject to tax under subchapter L,

    (C) a corporation to which an election under section 936 applies, or

    (D) a DISC or former DISC.

    There is no mention here that the "resident" must be a permanent resident.

    Here is an excerpt of the Federal Regulation that defines who is a "resident alien" for taxation purposes:

    Reg �1.871-2. Determining residence of alien individuals.
    Caution: The Treasury has not yet amended Reg � 1.871-2 to reflect changes made by P.L. 108-357

    (a) General. The term �nonresident alien individual� means an individual whose residence is not within the United States, and who is not a citizen of the United States. The term includes a nonresident alien fiduciary. For such purpose the term �fiduciary� shall have the meaning assigned to it by section 7701(a)(6) and the regulations in Part 301 of this chapter (Regulations on Procedure and Administration). For presumption as to an alien's nonresidence, see paragraph (b) of �1.871-4.

    (b) Residence defined. An alien actually present in the United States who is not a mere transient or sojourner is a resident of the United States for purposes of the income tax. Whether he is a transient is determined by his intentions with regard to the length and nature of his stay. A mere floating intention, indefinite as to time, to return to another country is not sufficient to constitute him a transient. If he lives in the United States and has no definite intention as to his stay, he is a resident. One who comes to the United States for a definite purpose which in its nature may be promptly accomplished is a transient; but, if his purpose is of such a nature that an extended stay may be necessary for its accomplishment, and to that end the alien make his home temporarily in the United States, he becomes a resident, though it may be his intention at all times to return to his domicile abroad when the purpose for which he came has been consummated or abandoned. An alien whose stay in the United States is limited to a definite period by the immigration laws is not a resident of the United States within the meaning of this section, in the absence of exceptional circumstances.

    Here is the relevant Federal Regulation on Proof of Residence for determining status for tax purposes:

    Reg �1.871-4. Proof of residence of aliens.
    (a) Rules of evidence. The following rules of evidence shall govern in determining whether or not an alien within the United States has acquired residence therein for purposes of the income tax.

    (b) Nonresidence presumed. An alien, by reason of his alienage, is presumed to be a nonresident alien.

    (c) Presumption rebutted.

    (1) Departing alien. In the case of an alien who presents himself for determination of tax liability before departure from the United States, the presumption as to the alien's nonresidence may be overcome by proof�

    (i) That the alien, at least six months before the date he so presents himself, has filed a declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States under the naturalization laws; or

    (ii) That the alien, at least six months before the date he so presents himself, has filed Form 1078 or its equivalent; or

    (iii) Of acts and statements of the alien showing a definite intention to acquire residence in the United States or showing that his stay in the United States has been of such an extended nature as to constitute him a resident.

    (2) Other aliens. In the case of other aliens, the presumption as to the alien's nonresidence may be overcome by proof�

    (i) That the alien has filed a declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States under the naturalization laws; or

    (ii) That the alien has filed Form 1078 or its equivalent; or

    (iii) Of acts and statements of the alien showing a definite intention to acquire residence in the United States or showing that his stay in the United States has been of such an extended nature as to constitute him a resident.

    (d) Certificate. If, in the application of paragraphs (c)(1)(iii) or (2)(iii) of this section, the internal revenue officer or employee who examines the alien is in doubt as to the facts, such officer or employee may, to assist him in determining the facts, require a certificate or certificates setting forth the facts relied upon by the alien seeking to overcome the presumption. Each such certificate, which shall contain, or be verified by, a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury, shall be executed by some credible person or persons, other than the alien and members of his family, who have known the alien at least six months before the date of execution of the certificate or certificates.




    (c) Application and effective dates. Unless the context indicates otherwise, ��1.871-2 through 1.871-5 apply to determine the residence of aliens for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1985. To determine the residence of aliens for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984, see section 7701(b) and ��301.7701(b)-1 through 301.7701(b)-9 of this chapter. However, for purposes of determining whether an individual is a qualified individual under section 911(d)(1)(A), the rules of ��1.871-2 and 1.871-5 shall continue to apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984. For purposes of determining whether an individual is a resident of the United States for estate and gift tax purposes, see �20.0-1(b)(1) and (2) and � 25.2501-1(b) of this chapter, respectively.


    In summary, I submit to you that if you work in the US for more than 6 months out of a given year, you are a resident alien, and therefore are eligible to set up an S-Corp.

    Since I am still learning about this, any input/feedback/logical arguments with relevant proof/citations would be appreciated!

    I am confused and think about this daily. I am here in US for the past 8+ years and I am 33 now. All my friends who have stayed back in India are in very good managerial position and earning well. Money is not the issue now, but the career.

    I thought about going back to India and when I started the job search, I ended up seeing myself aged out. Being stuck with my GC, I am now continuing as a Sr Software er for the past 8 years. I did not move up an inch all these years and I did not think it is going to affect my career till now. Now if I look back, I sometime think that I have made wrong choices unknowingly.

    In India:

    1. I am not fit for Sr Software Er position as guys from college with 2+ years of experience fills that position.
    2. I dont want tech lead / team lead as I hear from my friends there it is going back 5years for me for my age.
    3. I am not getting project manager position as I do not have any managerial experience.

    If I get a good position in India, I am ready to go back. At the same time, I have two kids who are born here in US and I own a house (technically I am proud owner of mortgage debt not house) here in US. I have to close all my debts before I decide to go back.

    I AM NOT IN CLEAR STATE OF MIND. MAY BE GETTING GC WILL HELP ME OUT.

    Until 2003 end most the people have filed 485. It all started when the cases were moved to BEC. Most of the cases were from 2004 and some from 2003/2/1/0.


    Our firm had five 2002/2003 LCs cleared in March , after uscis sent out notice to either convert them to RIR processing or abandon it. I guess there are many old cases to be still applied for 485.

    07/07/2007: State Department Record of EB Visa Number Authorization Involving Current Fiasco

    * According to the State Department, from October 1, 2006 through May 30, 2007, the USCIS requested and was authorized the total EB visa numbers of 66,426. Between June 1 and the first few days of July (?), the USCIS requested and was authorized over 60,000 EB visa numbers, in approximately one month. Since it has been made clear by the USCIS that during the last weekend of June (2 days) the USCIS approved 25,000 EB 485 applications, apparently over 40,000 visa numbers were requested and authorized before the weekend. Obviously the 60,000 plus cases must thus have been approved (?) in one month. Hmm............................................... .........................

    You mean notice date? If your application is physically reached NSC on June 15th your receipt date should be around it. It makes sense for notice date getting delayed. However, your processing would be done based on RD only.

    This would suck for older priority dates.

    My priority date is March, 2002!! Application was delivered to Nebraska on June 15th but the Receipt date is in mid-July.
    So all those filers with priority dates after me (did not come across any with PD older than mine) that got their receipt notices before me would jump ahead in line!! Who knows how many years more...

    Hopefully they will change their procedure after this fiasco to go by Priority Dates first and then the receipt dates.

    Ramba - you seem to be working through a body-shopper as a plain consultant with restricted veritical movement in the organizational chain which implies your underlying assuption that if same org files multiple petitions for the same person.

    In 2003, they were not able to skilled developer so file my eb3...now after one completes master's degree ..experience in other companies if they find that the cannot find experienced manager and after due recrutiment process find that one of their own employee is the best fit for that job.

    So now u are saying that they should not do it? That will be a company discriminating against their own employees???

    Comon...I thought guys from IT were logicall and brainy folks (and hence were grant EB2 category for their exceptional calibre)....guess thats wrong.
