1) There are flights from Manchester, NH to Baltimore, MD for about 150$ (Flying to DC from Manchester costs an additional 100$). It is just 45 miles from Washington, DC. I have read in one of the postings that there are trains from Baltimore to DC Central. We can book hotels in DC through Priceline.
2) If we have enough people, we may be able to drive to DC (rent a bus or a minibus from Boston) But it is at least a 10 hour drive. That means we may have to take at least half the day off on Wednesday as well. We can then start back Thursday evening itself.
It makes sense to book hotels together as it will give us a better chance to prepare for the rally.
I hope more people come forward. I know this is a difficult thing to do. But it is necessary.
There are so many IV members from in and around Massachusetts and only one other has volunteered so far!

Hi,
I will file for my 485 this week. Next week I leave for India for 2 weeks. With the frontlog I wont get my 485 receipt this week. I have valid H1B. When I enter without 485 receipt will that be a problem? Will my 485 be abandoned in case there is problem? Please advice. Thanks.

Thanks. I thought so too.
Since your attorney is not filing (No G28 is filed when you DIY). I did this and I got approval for both EAD/AP in a month's time.

I signed up with a new Attorney for filing my 485. I sent my documents in the last week of July and until I sent my documents out, she was communicating well saying she will make sure everything is done in time ...... and assured me that her clients are her strength .....
She has not completed the paperwork till now and she closed down all communication channels with me.
On Friday the paralegal called me and told me papers are getting ready soon.
I am confused and don't know how to deal with this situation - I figure out that it is too late to trust any lawyer now.
Though there is no point in submitting on July 2nd anymore, I am just wondering what must be the next course of action?
I am sure they will drag this through end of next week because they seem to cater to corporate clients rather than personal clients and are very unresponsive.
In general - what are folks doing, especially those who did not file yet? Are all your packets with lawyer, ready to file and send?
Please advice

Hello, I'm Hyoung and I'm graduate student at Purdue University.
I handed in my paperworks to extend my I-20 before more than 2 weeks ago that is expired. But recommendation reason that my academic advisor wrote was not appropriate and that was "Keep studying Ph.D". I am planning to graduate my masters in August. And I-20 is expired on May/16.
Actually, I was notified that issue 5 working days before from ISS in my school that the reason is not appropriate and handed in a new recommendation form one day after when my I-20 expired.
At this case, do I need to follow applying procedure for a reinstatement with application fee $300?
I'm so depressed because I did everything that I could do to prevent this problem. But whenever I email to ISS of the school, the answer was that I should finish my masters within May/16 that is impossible for me. And Finally, they emailed me that I need to apply reinstatement now.
If there is some tips to resolve this issue that you can tell me, could you let me know?
Thank you so much
Regards
You need to follow what your school's ISS is asking you to do. If your concern is the $300, and if you believe that ISS was at fault for not notifying you earlier, etc., then you can bring that up with someone at ISS and ask them to waive the fee.

The safest route is to have both the H-1B and the EAD, if the employer agrees to pay for all. If you just have an EAD and the 485 is denied for some reason, you have no work authorization. If you have the H-1B also, then you can continue to work on that.
The filing fees for a H-1B extension depend on how many extensions have been filed already. Assuming it is not the very first H-1B, then the filing fee is $320, and $1500 if it is the first extension.

Dear Friends,
Does anybody has information on the current lag between check cashing and getting receipt in the mail?
My check for 485 was cashed on August 20 (process by my bank) and the online case status says receipt was mailed out. But my lawyer has not received it as of today.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Looks like CIR has a rough road ahead:
From immigration-law:
06/14/2006: AILA Reports Anti-Immigrant Calls to Congress Outnumbers Pro-CIR at 400:1
* AILA has reported that immigration restrictionists are flooding Congressional phone lines and email inboxes with angry demands that their Senators and Representatives vote against any legislation that provides a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Their calls for an enforcement-only immigration policy are reportedly louder and more aggressive than ever and there are 400 of them for every 1 call from proimmigrants. AILA is concerned that the 400 to 1 intensity of the opposition to comprehensive immigration reform (S. 2611) is expected to crescendo into the November elections, making it a likely voting issue at the polls.
* Considering the fact that most seats in the House are up for grab in the November election, these anti-immigration forces pose a powerful threat and road block to meaningful enactment of comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
* These anti-immigration forces also appear to use a strategy to weaken the pro-immigration forces by inducing the immigrant community more and more divided between the legal and illegal immigrant communities and pushing them further and further antagonistic each other by spreading rumors that illegal immigrants would take away employment-based immigrant quota from the legal immigrants and the legal immigrant community should oppose the comprehensive immigration reform legislation as passed by the Senate. "Divide and Conquer" strategy appears to work for these immigration restrictionists.

My GC is under process and I am using my EAD. Due to a family emergency, I may need to go to India for a longer period of time. Right now, I dont see any option but to resign from my current job and move to India. But I do not want to risk my GC process either.
What can I do in this situation? Please advise.

I am not a lawyer but was involved in something similar.
C can take you to court and stop you from being hired by vendor. It will be very difficult for them to push for damages etc. but thye can bring a stop on your hiring.
If C is a small desi consultant the chances are dim he will come after you. But if he is reasonably sized with lawyers within the company, you mgiht get a notice. You can take a chance, but usually the lawyer fees etc might not be worth the effort.
Your other option is to have your vendor buy you out - which means the vendor pays an X amount to C, and that frees you up from any contracts/non-competes.
Good luck!

My PD is Oct 2004 .Received I-140 RFE Ability to pay.RFE date Jan 2nd 2009.They have asked for Tax returns for 2006 and 2007 (2004 and 2005 were submitted during filing).They have mentioned that we also have the option to submit W2 ,Audited statements or Annual reports.The company is a small company with 20-30 employees and is doing pretty well .For 2004 ,2005 and 2006 their net incomes is about 3-4 times my proffered wage.But there is an issue for the 2007 return.Their year ends in June and hence 2007 return was due on September 2007 for which they have filed an extension.Hence returns are not due till March 2009.RFE has to be responded to by Feb 2nd.They have paid an estimated tax of about 34000-35000 .My proffered wages are 52000.Hence if one calculates the estimated income it is in line with the previous years and is about 3 times my wages.But there is no return only extension notice and proof of taxes paid .I do not work for them right now and have no W2.They do not have any audited statement or annual report.I am trying to get them to give me a statement from their CPA stating estimated revenues,net income and tax for 2007 but I am being given the run around.If I were to submit only with the 2006 return and 2007 extension filed with proof of tax paid is it OK or do i most definitely need that letter from their CPA.I doubt I can get anything more than the CPA letter and that too is doubtful.Business owner perceives CPA letter not needed attorney states needed.I am in a limbo.Please help .Do I also need statement showing income from July 2008 through December 2008 to show current ability to pay as advised when they have asked only for 2006 and 2007 returns.PLEEEASE HELLP AND GIVE YOR ADVISE.

Nice textures but I don't quite like the left side... I think those yellow lines would maybe make a nice diagonal, starting from the upper left and then splitting either side of the lower right corner.
EDIT: Hope you don't mind, had to make a quick test, a little like this, but I'd like more of the yellow line at the upper left...

I mailed my first EAD application in the last week of Dec/09.
Never thought it would take so long for receipting, and worried something wrong in my application..
Good to see others ...
Will wait further then..
Next time will go online..although it requires a trip to local office for biometrics

Paystubs ( recent )
Company docs ready:
Tax returns: 2004 - 2007
However for year 2008, company has requested IRS an extension to file tax return.Company is trying to come up with audited financial statement for year 2008. They are still working on it.
However deadline for filing RFE response is this Wednesday ( 03/11/2009)
My questions:
