i spent around 3000$ for studies, could get only 2000$ under lifetime...
is there anyway i can claim the entire 3000?
I don't think you can use both lifetime credit and tution deduction. Lifetime credit is a credit applied directly to amount of tax you owe and tuition deduction reduces your taxable income. You can use only one ( whichever gives you maximum benefit).

i'm afraid this has potential to turn into a big headache when theres a job loss. the only slightly useful, if one can call it that, byproduct of the ginormous delays are ppl get sometime to port to a new job but if this is implemented they may make it mandatory for you to inform & then harass you abt it.
why cant they clarify the regulation first and interpret it properly before indulging in these things?

I have filed for 140/485 EB3 on July 2nd. I am planning to start a EB2 process and carry over the EB3 Priority date to the new application. I have a few questions
1. My thinking is the process works something like this. I start a new PERM for EB2 while my EB3 140 is pending. After both the EB3 I140 and EB2 PERM are approved, I file for EB2 140 putting in a request to carry my old PD over. Is this correct?
2. Do I need to be with my GC sponsoring company until both EB3 140 and EB2 PERM are approved? If I use AC21 (after EB3 140 approval), will I still be able to interfile?
Thanks in advance
You cant use to port date after using AC21 ,your job responsiblities need to be same or of smiliar nature so u cant interfile as EB2 job responsiblities will differ. Porting of dates always carries risks more checks more documentations.

My 485 was filed on july 2nd, have'nt recieved the RN,Now i want to file for EAD/AP without RN (cos need it badly for my wife) but the lawyer is advicing against it. He says...
My concern in filing the EAD/AP applications without the I-485 Receipt Notice is that it will take USCIS a long time to marry the files together, and that much longer to adjudicate, versus filing the EAD/AP applications with the I-485 Receipt Notice. In the latter case, the application can stand on its own, in that USCIS does not have to "search" for any other file; in this instance, we suspect USCIS will adjudicate these applications faster.
Anyone in the same boat..

Hello,
I am new to immigration talk so I might not use the right terms so I apoligize in advance. Here is our situation, my wife's green card case was approved 2 years ago but we are waiting for a visa number to become available.Our lawyer told her that we fall under the EB3 catagory.He also said our filing date is April2002 and the visa bulitin should show this date for us to get an invitation.
My wife really really hates her job and would like to quit today but the lawyer is saying we can not get the green card if she quits. He also tells us she can not work for another company because then we would need to start everything from scratch.
Can someone confirm this?
Is there a solution?
Does she have to keep working for this company forever?(seemslike EB3 dates arent moving)

You can do landing and H1-Stamping at the same time in canada. You do not need stamped visa to come back to US from Canada as long as you have your H1 extension papers with you and you come back in 30 days

The indian consulate needs a proof of address for me and my wife
We sent them the Property tax bill and hoped that it would work but get this mail from travisa
Proof Of Residence - Unacceptable
The proof of address received in your application is not acceptable for submission to the Indian Consulate. You must submit a proof of residence/address that matches the present address on the PIO application exactly. Photocopy of state issued ID (Driver License or ID), or major utility bill (Water, Gas, Electric, Sewage) or a copy of a lease containing both the landlord and tenant signatures must be submitted. The following items are not accepted: cell phone bill, credit card statement or bank statement. The address cannot include a P.O. box. For minors, a parent or guardian proof of address from both parents may be submitted instead. You can fax the proof of address to Fax: (415) 644-0158. In addition, you also have the option of mailing a paper copy to the address below.
Now why does not a property tax not work ? it is issues by the county.
We do not have the current address on my wife's driver's license and her name is not there on the PGandE bill
Any suggestion ? or anyone had a similar issue ?
Thanks in advance !!
Sorry abt. that. Send other documents to show proof of address. Interesting to know, they are not accepting "Property Tax Notice" as proof of address. I happened to send the "Property Tax Notice" too, as it includes my wife's name, but also included the Driver's license for us both and it got accepted. You will have to attach copy of your Immigration Document as well, if you have EAD/AP or any other Document with current address and your Driver's license, you should be okay. Try calling them to discuss, they are pretty good in answering phone.

Increasing H1B quota may not be the good choice, US Economy needs stability in immigration, immigrants should be issue with GreenCards for pending AOS and thereby people can invest to buy house and stay in this country.

Hi Leoindiano:
What is meant by Pre-Adjudication and how do we know that, our case is Pre-Adjudicated. Sorry to ask you this qn. specifically, as I amnot seeing any LUDs on my case, and my para-legal says, dont worry.
my case details are PD10/05 EB2 I, RD 07/02/07 and ND 08/30/07 at TSC.
Can you enlighten us little bit more.
preadjudication is where USCIS processes your case even when visa numbers are not going to be available: meaning ur PD is not current, they know even if all is well they wont be able to approve, but still they go over everything, issue an RFE is something is not ok etc. If all is well, the case goes into a pre-adjudicated stack, and once visa numbers are available, they simply pick up a file from that stack, assign it a visa and mark it approved. This is how lots of people got approvals last year in july VB.
pre-adjudication has three advantages compared to starting to process only when teh PD is current:
- If they wait for PD to be current to pick up a file and start looking at it, there is no way they can process so many cases when the PD does go current, or when dates move significantly towards the end of the year. This is how they processed nearly 60k cases in 2 months last year.
- if PD is current for a short period (1month or 2) and thats when they pick up your case, if you get a NOID you could end up missing the window by the time you respond and they pick up your response.
- its helpful for them because they can weed out cases that are not going to be approved, earlier and they dont end up giving interim benefits to those people.
ur status does not change when your case is pre-adjudicated.

It seems you can start working as soon as the application is sent out. This was the advice given to my firend by his attorney.
He consulted some other lawyers. They say that it is safe to get the receipt number before starting to work.
So to be on the most safe side, wait until you get the receipt number.
But many people do start soon after sending the transfer petition...I know people who have done that. My friend is also not going to wait for the receipt as he has to join immediately.
I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.
Thanks.

Hello,
My I-140 got denied based on my Education.
I have 3 yrs + PG Diploma which is equivalent to US Degree according to my education evaluation.
Experience:
- 6 yrs of OUTSIDE USA experience

The JOB Description for PERM was:
"Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science plus 5 years experience; 3 year Bachelor’s degree plus 2 year post-graduate diploma in Software Engineering and 5 years experience acceptable. "
Gurus, please help me providing some info, if there is any chance of getting it approved if I file a Motion.. or what should I do next?

Please advise me..

Raju,
This is not enough information to provide any advise. What is the reason USCIS provided in the denial letter. You only provided the PERM details and that does not help anyone.

i predict the november 2008 visa bulletin will come out on monday, october 13,2008. however, even if all categories will become current, it is still useless as the processing dates of the different service centers have processing times of july 2007. hence, almost everybody will not be able to have their papers processed.

Hello,
I have a question regarding voluntary work and the legalities when you are on a H4 spouse visa.
A Private company is ready to sponsor a candidate who is currently on H4 visa (spouse visa) for the H1-B visa in April.
But since the H1-B visa will only be given in Oct, can the H4 person work with that Pvt. Company from April to Oct voluntarily without any form of pay in cash or kind till the candidate gets the H1-B in Oct and then continue with that company?
Thanks & Regards,
Anand
