DOB certificate is important for all applicants (including spouse and children) but if you cant get it, some advise to get affidavit from parents and Non-Availability Certificate from the local municipal corporation in your place of birth as a substitute for DOB certificate. But USCIS filing procedures are constantly changing so be careful to check with your attroney to avoid future queries because they might say they cant accept this substitution anymore.
Disclamer: check with your attroney for your situation as I'm not an attroney.

My Indian employer offered me to continue working from home from US. Is that legal to do when you are in the US on an H4 visa? Thanks..
If you get salary in INR which is credited to your Indian Bank A/c
then you should be fine.
If you get salary in USD credited to US Bank A/C then its ILLEGAL.
Thanks,
Krishna

thanks a lot. that seems like a good idea. My CL is 10k on one CC and 12k on the other one but I will call my bank and request a raise and then do a balance transfer of as much as I can get.
If you have more than one CC from the same institution let's say you have 3 CCs from BOA 1. AMEX 2. VISA 3. MC you can pool all the CLs together under one card which has the lowest interest rate and make a balance transfer from that CC. This will give you more edge. Ask the customer service for more details.
I have done it several times now :P

DMT: I couldn't agree more, magazines write differences up or down to make a point - and of course none of us would actually read a magazine where they tested three competing models of DSLR's and the article said "They are all good, just buy any and you'll be happy" - we want them to say that one of them is the best and that the others are ranging from so-so to absolute rubbish [althouhg I probably couldn't tell the difference]. I've had the same discussion on other subjects of magazine articles. Also look at which brand advertizes more and less in a magazine. The journalist working for a magazine MAY not want to upset the biggest advertiser. Further, they need to get "Free test samples". In a motorcycle magazine, one model of Triumph was written down quite badly. Triumph wrote to the publisher and said essentially "If you don't write better about the next bike we lend to you, we will not give you bikes for tests in the future".
Back to the subject, however: It's important to know what YOU are looking for in a camera. What sort of photos/occasions are you intending to photograph: sports, nature, family & friends, outdoors, indoors, close-up or far away, etc, etc?

Please read comments carefully, the person has GC, spouse does not, he/she may have gotten married after GC. Yes spouse can get H1B with no problem.
Thanks
:confused:
why would someone having a GC want a H1 i don't understand. If her hubby is a GC holder obviously she might also be a GC holder. She has rights to work anywhere and for anyone in US.
If she is still in the process of gettin her GC then she might want to go in for H1 as it takes nearly 2 to 3 yrs for a spouse to get GC if she or he didn't apply during AOS
Thanks

35-45k Euros is 45-58USD
taxes are 30-35%
Rent is 900Euros (Thats a lot)
No familiar contingetnt :(
No savings, no fun.
I am not saying you shouldnt look into other options, but this doesnt sound rosy to me.
Belgians enjoy one of the best quality of life in the world, job security, social security and free healthcare for life. Jobs are plenty and EU is a big job market specially when you can pick up some basic language skills (French or Dutch).
Belgium and EU countries in general have good labor laws which protect an employee. Its not easy for a European employee to be fired as in the US. I remember a French guy who worked in my office back in 2002 and was fired because of cost-cutting. His 10 year stint with the company brought him 50,000 Euros in settlemet (That's about 7-10% of salary for each year he worked for the company). The best part was he ended up in a new job within a month.
Unlike US you are certain to become a "permanent resident" after 5 years of stay on a work permit which in turn provides lot more opportunities in the long run. Not a bad option to consider specially when you compromise a little on the pay.

The priority dates cannot be ported during the I-140 stage. This can be done only during 485 filing where in you have two I-140s approved and a request can be made to use the earlier priority date.
Thats not ture. PD can be ported at the time of I-140 filing

USCIS addresses RFE's to attorney who represents you, you will not get the RFE. Even if you call USCIS, they will not provide you with clear details.
Try calling them to know about your RFE; you might get lucky!
I did call them... They didn't provide me the details of the Additional evidence and asked me to wait for the Notice.. Also they said they will be sending it to my address.. I was under the impression that they will be sending it to my lawyer.

For me, my attorney's filed successor in interest I-140 after I filed I-485 due to merger. I faced no issues with this process and you can request them to file the same at your end. This did not affect my I-485.
Thanks
Do you know if your successor in interest i-140 has been approved

What are chances of Dream Act? --> No one can predict. Depends on how Bush era tax cut bill goes through. Dems has added few provision to please Republicans so they are improving chances.
What are the chances of including our provisions in the bill? --> At this point Republicans want enforcement. They may not bargain for legal immigration in this bill. Rather they may prefer to add some tough rule for dreamers.
What happens if the bill passes without our provisions? ---> We will still have a chance to have our bill as piecemeal or just sit and watch
What happens if the bill fails? --> I hope they get it done, Dreamers are more enthusiastic than us and unless they get it these lawmakers will not think about us. Also they can set example that piecemeal is possible.
WHAT ARE OUR CHANCES IN 2011? --> As I said if dreamer can get their bill done, and CHC doesn't hold any piecemeal in future chances are there. but I doubt CHC will allow any legal immigration bill until Dems are in power of either of house.

I dont know about it
But you may want to read this for the procedure for applying waiver for medical issues
http://faq.visapro.com/Immigration-Medical-Exams-FAQ9.asp
All
First of all, sorry to open a new thread for my problem, but didn't find a related thread.
I was tested positive for genetal herpes 6months ago, but after that i didn't have any outbreaks. Now i have to go for medicals for my I485 next week.
Iam very much worried if it will effect my chances of getting GC.
Should i let the civil surgeon know iam positive for herpes and show my medical reports before he does the blood work, or should i wait till he finishes my blood work? I have read that i can apply for a waiver even if im tested positive for herpes, is it true? If so, can any body please tell me what is the procedure? Do i need to do it when we are filing for 485, or is it a separate process?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply! That was very helpful .
Do I still have to be employed by my original sponsor when i get the appt after 6 months?
If I return to the US in a few months do I still have to option of filing 485 even though I've already applied for CP in India?
Yes to Q1. Yes to Q2, but you will have to discontinue the CP option. I would suggest going the CP way in your case. AOS is unpredictable with CP you will have a definite date. Best option get H1 in India return and apply for AOS, if not apply for CP and return with H1 go back in 6 months get GC if all else fails wait in India for 6 months and come back with GC.

I believe the same post sounds some what fishy, check this guys posts all the way back from 07 to till now.

USCIS going all the way back to 1999, that too dependent's I-94 card which has a month expired.
Why on earth an attorney didn't suggested to use nunc pro trunc which facilitates saying person is maintaining legal status after the recent entry.
What is your problem mister? What will a person get here to post a fishy message? If you can not offer any help then it is better to read and ignore. Instead of hurting someones feeling. I guess you do not understand how does it feel when some one tells you " you will be thrown out from this country with in few days after spending 10 yrs here".
Any way Good luck to you for your GC!!! and I wish that you will not face this kind of pain of rejection.
Though, I'm really sorry to see such kind of arrogant and bad-mouth people in this forum.

Dealsnet thank you for your input,
I already have an OPT and planning to work on it in the real estate field. but my Opt will be expiring at the end of this year and i am looking for other ways to keep working in the US. From what you telling me i don t have much options. i will keep looking or hire a lawyer there must be a solution. i am a bit surprised that they allow you to work in such field with an OPT and you can t take it anywhere.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
The work you do in your OPT must be in your field of studies. You are likely violating immigration rules during your OPT period as well unless your degree was in secretarial work or real estate (I do not know of any such degree ...)
