My wife has ITIN till last year and we filed jointly. This year she has a social security number and we filed using social security number. Return was rejected by IRS saying that my wife's last year's AGI is wrong. Has anyone run into this ? What was the resolution ?
You can either mail the Tax return or put $0 for the wife's last year AGI and E file it

I have been working in US continously since May 2003. I have not committed a single crime other than an occasional traffic ticket. I have a fantastic work ethic and can give tons of references of clients and people who I have worked with. I have paid taxes at the rate 25% to 28% in the last 6 years. I pay property taxes. I have never missed or been late on a single credit card or rent or bill payment. I have excellent credit history. After 6 years now recently I wanted to go to India to see my ailing father who had a heart attack and my attorney warned me that since I am on H1 visa and working as a consultant and am not a full time employee I should go to India since the US consulate in India is rejecting or deffering issuing of visas quoting various reasons. They are basically trying to make life miserable for people regardless of their experience or value they bring to the table. What am I supposed to do? Do you just want me to go back to India - is that the end game here? I will if thats what you want. I will pull my money from the US economy I have invested in. Stop paying county and property and federal taxes. Stop paying license fees every year to the county. I will stop paying the humougous H1B visa extension fees. I hope this is what you want as you build your country's future with illegal immigrants whom you seem to favor more than people who are here legally. I wont even tell you how frustrating it has been to wait for Green Card which seems beyond possible!

I don't have the experience.
But I am planning to go for visa stamping. I was seriously contemplating to go to New Delhi consulate. My district is Mumbai. It would have saved me a logistic step of sending docs to VFS Mumbai in advance, also the appts seemed to be readily available.
But after going thru the posts at immigrationportal.com forum, I have decided to go to my own district. Don't want to take the risk of that 221g or admin review and run around messing my already tight schedule.
In your case, you already have an appt. If it is very difficult to reschedule it, you may want to take a chance and go to Mumbai. If you can reschedule it easily and fits your itenarary, do think of going to your own district.
BTW, if you think that IV is a help in your immigration journey and have not contributed yet, please contribute to the cause. You can find the required details on the homepage.

Thanks for the responses! Sorry to reply both responses in the same thread.
No, I havent got any audit (atleast thats what the employer/attrny says). I keep asking them for screenshot/update and getting nothing. There is already a case of a friend's(PD-Sep 08) whose constant request for information was sidelined and finally in May 09 he was told his PERM was approved in Feb 09. That was total BS, fearing something is amiss I started off on a screenshot request and I am getting stiffed saying DOL is a big pain and hard to pull up cases. I am already running on my 7th year and this BS has my blood boiling over.
I agree with the second poster's response on the thread that its BS that its hard to pull data. Its either they dont want me to worry or they dont want me to know the case number or detail. I am inclined more towards they dont want me to know the status because on numerous trackers I see Dec '08 being processed and not even whiff on my filing something very rotten is going on. :mad:

USCIS just went through the laborous task of processing more than 1 million applications for 485, ead, ap combined and also sending out FP notices and guess what, come Feb-march most of us will be ready to reapply for EAD and AP and USCIS has to go through the same process and this is likely to continue for next 4-5 years atleast..All USCIS wil be doing is processing EADs and AP..
Don't you guys think USCIS must be seriuosly thinking of a solution to clear this mess once and for all
Options
1) Give 3 yr ead and AP
2) As a one time thing make priority dates of all july applications only current :) (highly unlikely)
The EAD/AP renewal business is a cash cow for USCIS, and they will not do anything to jeorpardize that.;)
Result - status quo :p

I guess there is a �law� which allows the Attorney General to cancel your removal process if certain conditions are exists. So, this is not automatically granted like you can file for it �hey I�m here more than 10 years �� it states only that they �may� cancel the removal� ( by the way this is during the deportation process � so probably you do not want to test this part)
Read below:
INA: ACT 240A - CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL; ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS
Sec. 240A. 1/ (a) Cancellation of Removal for Certain Permanent Residents.-The Attorney General may cancel removal in the case of an alien who is inadmissible or deportable from the United States if the alien-
(1) has been an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence for not less than 5 years,
(2) has resided in the United States continuously for 7 years after having been admitted in any status, and
(3) has not been convicted of any aggravated felony.
(b) CANCELLATION OF REMOVAL AND ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS FOR CERTAIN NONPERMANENT RESIDENTS.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-The Attorney General 2/ may cancel removal of, and adjust to the status of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, an alien who is inadmissible or deportable from the United States if the alien-
(A) has been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than 10 years immediately preceding the date of such application;
(B) has been a person of good moral character during such period;
(C) has not been convicted of an offense under section 212(a)(2), 237(a)(2) , or 237(a)(3) , subject to paragraph (5) 2a/ 5/ ; and
(D) establishes that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's spouse, parent, or child, who is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

There is a sudden change of plan. My company wants me in US for two months - March 15 - May 15. Then i have to go back to India till Dec 09 and come back to join work from Jan 2010. My questions -
1. Will i be facing any questions at the immigration (point of entry) when i come back on Jan 2010?
2. Any other situation or scenario that i should be aware of?
3. If i receive pay check for just two months in 09, will there be a problem when i file taxes for 2009?
4. How long can i stay outside US on a H1b visa?
Thanks a lot.
This might be an Attorney question
1. H1B petition is filed on a premise that a person with your 'unique' skillset is not available in local market and so they are sponsoring you
2. If you are going to be away from your place of work for such a long time, its the responsibility of the company to prove that you are indeed really required here and your assignment in your home country is really needed to get the work you are doing here moving etc etc.
3. I guess for you to be able to claim as an H1B you should basically work x number of hours a week/month/year on H1 here. Not sure how your going to home country and working there would qualify here
4. Your company might need to run your payroll here. Now as far as physical presence in this country you need to speak to your HR/Attorney on what the requirements are ( for other cases it is 181 days of continuous stay). Check with them what it needs to be for an H1.
On the whole this is a purely a LEGAL question and I am not sure if any of the advise you get here is guaranteed to work or be legal.
- cheers

Thank you for your reply. The scenario would be...if my husband loses his H1B due to a layoff, etc, then I would lose my H4 status. In that case, will I still be able to enter the US on a B1/B2 as it was initially valid till 2013.

Brasil,
I think after reading your case, it is just a standard operating procedure. Not sure why you thought of it as being punished unless some dmv official behaved unprofessionally or rudely with you . I suggest you wait for sometime and you will definitely get your license renewed back.
All the best :)

Priority Date Current: Curse or Boon ?
I am EB3 India applicant with PD of August 2001 (own not substitution). Have I 140 approved since November 2005 but was only able to file I 485 in June 2007. With same employer for 10 yrs and on 9th yr of H1.
Earlier this year my PD was correct for 2 months but didnt hear anything from USCIS. My PD is current again this Nov and Dec and havent heard anything yet. Called USCIS customer svc and they said cant do anything as processing date is not current (Yes and they are going by Notice date and not Received date for service request). Lawyer says just stay cool and wait. So USCIS has no logic and no order and all we can do is wait for our stars to be aligned and case getting picked up in a sweep. Other than that being current is a curse rather than a boon because
You can not get 3 yr H1 extension if PD is current (only 1 yr).
You can not get 2 yrs EAD if PD is current.
So those dying for PD to be current think again. Its no use having PD current if USCIS is going to be so random and haphazard. It may turn out to be a curse.

AFAIK, for summer the courses can be part time. This was the case back in 2001 when i went for my masters.
Please check this with the school and your wife can take one evening class and be enrolled for atleast 3-4 months and move on to the F-1 Visa. Community college will be a good place to start, as she will not be spending a lot of money also.
I hope this helps. All the best.

no, when you go for visa stamping the first thing they typically do is stamp a 'cancelled without prejudice' on yuor old visa, and they also usually take your I-94. So if you do get a 221(g), then the typical option is to either wait it out or take the passport back and go to the home country.
P.S: fix the subject, it is too generic...
Thanks man. And let me know how do I change the subject title? I don't see an option.
