1. US has a "Totalization agreement" with a number of West European countries which allows their citizens to move their SS amount into their local PF-type account. I understand they have to give some declaration that they will not come back to the US for [U]work[U].
Thanks:cool:
Details of the Totalization Agreements are on the SSA web site:
http://www.ssa.gov/international/agreements_overview.html
These agreements do not provide for transfer of any SS amount to another country. They merely allow an individual to qualify for SS benefits in US based on 10 years of contributions in the two countries combined, and proportionate payment of monthly SS benefits by US in such cases. Also, they avoid dual contributions in case a working individual is covered by both countries' SS taxes.

If you quit this job and find another on AC21 portability both of your i-485 is valid. Even at the time of GC if you have a valid job on Ac21 portability then no problem.
The problem occurs when USCIS issue an RFE to get more evidence to see if he is still a dependent. They may ask for join bank acc or house on both name or marriage certificate and proof so on to prove u both are husband and Wife...
If thier is no proof to provide this then his i-485 will be denied along with EAD and AP.
I suggest you to think over this comely. You can even pray to god tell him what u are undergoing now. And from my heart I suggest u to please stop applying for divorce. May be u can live separately for a while that will give some time to settle down and wipe out the bad moments between you two. And some time later I assure you both will live happily together.
Hi,
I submitted labor certification in 2004, EB3 have been waiting since then...in the meantime my husband and I are separating. I was the primary on the green card case.
If I quit my job, is he gonna loose his EAD, or the EAD remains valid until the validity date?
Does he have options to still keep the green card case open under his name?
I would appreciate any input. My personal life couldn't weather the long wait, but I am really worried that he would loose all his papers if I quit.
It would be great to know what his options are.

I agree with you on supporting each other's careers...
because of that, we have been separated for almost 2 years...
But there is a limit to being separated... Having dinner without her, watching movies without her, waking up and having breakfast without her...
I want to have balanced life... I wish the same for all of you...
You are right that 2 years is about the limit. We have just started living apart from this July of 2006 and are already trying to work out plans for 2008.
We want to be together too in about 2 years time...we are both evaluating our career options in each other's geographies..factoring in the possibility of having to sell our house(s) etc. but putting an immediate brake on either of our careers just to stay together would not have been a wise decision...
Also, mentally preparing ourselves beforehand has certainly helped us live through it...

The initial intent of the H1B program was to provide a work permit for people who graduate from the best US universities with MS and Phds. Over the time, in early 90s during dotcom era, even milkmen from Andhra villages came to the US as so call software professionals. Many of these could not even speak good english language forget about programming in computer languages. At that time, people used to get job offers over phone interviews and, in most cases, a different person who has some knowledge in that area would give the telephone interview and get the job. These people over the period of time got their greencards and are in workforce now as project managers etc, which is a shame for the system and frustration for other who work for them.
Bodyshops such as TCS, Infosys, Wippro, Cognizant bring people on H1b from India and have so much clout in the visa processing domain that they get 10K visas each under the name of blanket petition. This puts the legitimate people who worked their way through the US education systems at a disadvantage, as there is no one to support their visas unless they get hired by a US company by the time their OPT runs out. On the other hand, the people at the above mentioned bodyshops stay in their Indian offices with H1b visas stampped and waiting from Client offers. Thus the H1b visa system has become a joke, for it does not support the right people in the first place and makes easy entry for underskilled engineers.
H1B visa is just the first step. These bodyshops have made the process of greencards a joke. Most of these bodyshops sponsor the greencards of their employees in EB1 category as multinational executives. The necessary condition for someone to be called a multinational executive is there are direct reports. There are many direct reports to these people. Yes the guys who sit in Indian offices of the bodyshops. People with Phds from US schools get filed in EB2 category, as most of these are hired directly by good US companies and these companies take conservative steps and file the cases in Eb2 category.
It is a very well known fact that companies such as QC have a lot of people from Indian origin and many of them fall into the milkman category. However, there are a lot of highly skilled indian engineers working at QC too. I fully agree with the article here. But at the same time I want readers to draw that line between the milkmen from India and Indians who are educated in good schools in the US. Even these people are frustrated with what is going on in the immigration area.
I know all types of people come to US, and if what you said is correct, then does it mean Andhra milkmen are smart to come here, where as other milkmen from other states couldnt,. Then I think they are smart. :)
Sorry, I am not from AP, nor am I a milkman.

I agree in principle .. but please recognize that we are tiny needles in this immigration haystack, and however "non-controversial" a provision may be it is not trivial to get a congressman to introduce a dedicated bill for it.We always have to piggyback on some larger omnibus bill. For that matter all our provisions should be non-controversial given that illegals will soon get amnesty (of some sort).
It is not only easier to lobby for existing bills,given our limited resources and numbers, but also very important to do so .. remember that just because a bill has been introduced means absolutely zilch. There are scores of bills in our favor that are either dead or in limbo .. talk about CIR,PACE and now SKIL. First, the bill needs to be scheduled and then when it comes up for discussion in congress, there are plenty of pulls and pressures against us.The anti-immigrant lobby is huge and well-funded .. they are motivated to see every single immigrant deported from this country. So a bill like SKIL can very easily turn into an H1-B only bill (aka AC21) if we rest on our heels.

as far as i know you are eligible to work for a new employer as soon as you get the receipt notice of your h1 transfer or even the fedex receipt indicating that it has been delivered to uscis.
it might be worth your time to look for the legal text that confirms this and include it in your rfe. ask your attorney on how to deal with it, you are using one for ur rfe, right?

We hear the politians saying that no one will be jumping the queue, well maybe correct, but maybe not correct.
It depends on where the end of the queue is defined.
Given the current law you could wait for labor cert in Philly BEC for years, be forced into changing jobs just before getting the LC, and loose your priority date, putting you in the queue behind the 12 million! After having already waited for several years and paid loads of fees.
If that was to happen maybe I would apply as an illegel, that would raise a strange question, would I have to deliberately break the law to obtain the benefit of being able to sponsor my own GC as the bill currently stands? Would I be able to get an "official" job washing cars, but moonlight as a software engineer?
However, another concern is that adding 12 million to the queue will slow it down. Do we think that two streams could work and be viable, such that in law there would be a guarentee that the queues for those waiting legally would not be clogged.
For example, by requiring that each month the applications by those here legally are processed before moving on to the rest. All outstanding applications by legals would have to be proceeded first each month. That would apply to DoL USICS, FIB (name check), and any other agencies. That might even speed things up for us.
Do we think that this would fly?
It would be a way that the politians could add a touch of legitimacy to their claim that no one would be queue jumping.

The office for international students deals with immigration matters and will not like to put an ad. I am quite sure of that. But the Asian students orgs may want to. I will ask them. But on second thoughts, should we be concerned with people who are coming to the US now? I think we should be concerned with those who are into their H1Bs already. They are more likely to want to become members.
I have already toyed with this idea of sending email to student organizations in grad school. I have seen so many H1's being unconcerned about the whole situation, simply because they haven't waited in the queue and don't know what it is like. Most of the F1 students don't have an idea of how this works and are more concerned about getting a job and moving on to H1. International office staff will simply not allow to have it posted in their office. How ever, ads about IV can be posted in food courts if we have enthusiastic students who understand the situation.

My license actaully expires in May, 2014. My temporary status printed on the driver license expires this month. (which was determined based on my EAD expiry date). I am not planning to renew EAD soon.
I got a letter from Texas Department of Public Safety saying
"A review of our records indicates yor temporary visitor status expires on 09/21/2010. To avoid cancellation of your Texas driver license you must visit your local driver license office and provide the proof that your lawful status in this country has been extended for a minimum of six months. Failure to comply will result in the cancellation of your Texas driver license effective 11/05/2010.
The cancellation...... "
so i cannot renew it online. But i didnot try...

AILA has reported that the government is scheduled to announce something which can be bad or good. Bad means that the government could not find appropriate fix for the problem, and good means some relief may be provided. It sounds that they appeared to have been in discussion of a number of options and may not have reached yet an agreement. It is indeed a difficult time for the government as well as the immigrants and employers

#2. How likely i could get RFE'd for employment in the next 3 months? if get RFE, any tactics to stall?
Two contradicting statements. :D :D
If you take #1, you will find that waiting for GC is not worth and you may end up with more fruitful ideas that build your future, a business, moving to different country, back home etc...
If you take #2, there is no point in thinking about life or rest as there is no such thing while waiting for GC, just work 24/7 to get a job as soon as possible.
Sorry .... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Just a friendly advice. To my understanding, Visa officer also have do name check for visa stamping. Though 99% people get through the name check specially if you are not from a Muslim country or do not have a Muslim name. I personally know couple of cases in past (Pakistani National�s) where people went to Canada for stamping and got struck in name check for three months +. One of them was a PHD Doctor. As I mentioned above, you do not need to worry about this since this is a very small percentage and I have a feeling you are Indian National, but one should be mentally ready for every thing.
