My guess is that you will probably end up paying more than $600 additional in tax amount.
Is a h1b holder a nonresident alien or a resident alien ? It says on IRS site that you dont get stimulus if you are a nonresident alien.

Folks
July bulletin is OUT and NO more significant movement. Please call Lawmakers ASAP. Unless we take action USCIS is not going to do anything. Situation can be worse once we head towards election season. Still we have 1-2 months to get things done or we will be waiting for years to get green card OR EAD ( For some folks ).
It is just 10-15 minutes need to spend to call. Let them know WHO WE ARE AND WHAT ARE OUR ISSUES .
Please I request all of you to call , if you already call then ask your friends and family members to call.
Now its time to act. If we dont take action CHC will not allow to move ahead our 3 bills.
CALL NOW .... and Spread this message to everyone.

Why is the senator backtracking from "chop shop" comment ? Here is why
Visa row: US keen not to hurt ties with India before Obama visit - US - World - The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Visa-row-US-keen-not-to-hurt-ties-with-India-before-Obama-visit/articleshow/6298482.cms)
One more thing, if you read the comments, he is not back tracking. If I were him, I wouldn't either. Sen. Schumer is saying, btw, if I offended anyone, then its not chop-shop, its body shop, take that? He is ridiculing those who thought they cornered him.

Something just popped up from my family.
I filed concurrent 140-485-765-131 in Nebraska.
DHL delivered the package on 1st of february.
My checks were not yet cashed and I did not get any reply from USCIS (and neither did my lawyer).
My lawyer said it is impossible and I am better off refiling but this implies redoing a lot of things that cost money and time.
How can I try to expedite without a receipt number?
Well what you should have done was filed it with the local USCIS office with a letter proving the emergency at this stage all u can do is wait for the receipt notice once you receive that make an infopass appointment and explain your emergency with proof they will expedite.

Chandu,
Thank you for taking time writing the blog. People like you make this website so much helpful and valuable.
I found one very detailed thread on Ron Gotcher's website. He mentioned that cancellation or revocation of I-140 doesn't automatically revokes EAD.
this is quite interesting and a big relief if true.
Click to read yourself (http://immigration-information.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18946&postcount=28)
I would suggest to read this thread completely to anyone who is AOS candidate. Even if you are not thinking of changing your job, during current economy, anyone should be prepared to use AC21 if needed.
"An EAD remains valid until it expires or is explicitly revoked. Since most AOS denials flow from I-140 problems, an EAD card is not going to get revoked immediately. If nothing else, they have to wait until the interval for an I-140 appeal has lapsed - even if you don't appeal."
Good find desi485, gave you green!
Can any one else confirm this? Is there anyone who have discussed this with their own attorneys? or have first hand experience? Please share with rest of the IV community. I am specifically worried over if I will be able to continue working for new employer on EAD in above unfortunate scenario????
I am planning to join govt agency which is not ready to file for H1B, and also going on unpaid leaves may not be an option as well. Should I take this risk?

Landed in july 2000
Changed employer in nov 2000
Joined a fortune 10 company in aug 2001, they had a policy to wait for 1 year before any GC application.
Started process in August 2002, Finally labor was filed in March 2003
May 2004 Company bought another company and in merger my department was closed, Was laid off in October 2004, was lucky enough that a job I had interviewed internally came through. Started with them in October 2004 but with a 20% salary cut :(
Finally labor was approved in 2005.Got 140 approved in Jan 2006.
Dates became current in June 2007 but lawyer delayed the filing till July when all dates became unavailable. Due to political pressure dates became current and was able to file for 485.
Got married in Nov 2008.
Company bought another company in 2008 and the merger resulted in job loss again in April 2009.
Was lucky enough again to find another job in the company.
Within 1 month got another job offer in the company with a promotion. So after 2004 came back to original salary in 2009.
Still in 2010 I am not making as much money as I made in 2000-2001 when I had just landed.
Talked to my new manager in Dec 2009 to apply GC in EB2 since it is a VP position with 8 year experience requirement he said a big NOOOOOOOO.
Finally boss agreed to start the new GC in EB2 in July 2010.
Talked to lawyer and after evaluation they agreed that my new job is more than 50% different from my old jobs and hence I can use the experience.
Started the process with the lawyer but since it is a big company all processe take forever to begin :(

Administrator,
can you please CLOSE this thread, please ?
1) It's annoying to see grown up ppl fight like children.
2) This forum needs to keep it's focus. Members are supposed to help each other and our cause. We are IV and IV is us.
3) we do not need internecine fights, that digress's from our mission.
4) This thread is contributing to wastage og volunteer resources, computer resources, temperments and increasing member frustations and BLOOD PRESSURE.
I humbly request you to put this to rest by closing this thread.
Amen.

Funds will follow if people see viability. Anywaz nothing is coming out of lobbying efforts so currently how does it even matter ?
and hence a jesus is born. but let me ask you this - if nothing will come out of lobbying effort, then why is every tom dick and harry spending more and more money on lobbying. if lobbying won't work, what should we do.
wwbd - what would bawa do?

One last question, if you don't mind.
I assume yours is a conventional loan, how much equity do you have on your home, and how much down payment did you make on your home purchase first time?
I didn't pay any points. I locked in two weeks back and closed this week. Lender is a local bank in Mass.

28.6% of 7% of 140,000 per quarter is 700 not 2450.
I greatly appreciate people doing visa number math. But guys, you are wasting your time. These guys dont do any math nor logic in the process.
