I am not sure about effect of patriot act, but some of my friends who left in 2002 era still have accounts here. Another friend left for Banglore but his 401K is still here.
You can keep accounts. NO problem. Patriot Act targets money laundering. You dont have to worry

Hi Gurus,
Right now I am working for Company A and VISA with company A is valid till September 30 2007. Company B applied for Regular H1-B transfer (Receipt Date May 12) and it is still under process. I will be joining Company B on 1st October 2007.
Now due to some emergency I am traveling to India on 11August, 2007 and will come back on 11 Th September 2007. Also I can�t go for VISA stamping in India for Company B as I have not got my H1 Approval yet.
Given the above scenario, will I have any problem at the port of entry as my H1b transfer from company B has not been approved yet?
What all documents I have to carry to reenter safely?
Thanks in advance,
Ashok

I found this on shusterman's regarding obama's views on immigration. Looks like he is all for family based immigration but no mention about employment based.
http://shusterman.com/pdf/obama908.pdf
That's where the "vote bank" is my friend...
I will be little blunt here but will say this:
Ask yourself this question: (assume that you are american born person and are advisor to one of the campaigns): What will help you politically? Supporting skilled EB immigrants (140k per year, who will not be able to vote for at least next five years) or FB immigrants (860k per year, who may also not be able to vote for next five years) or no immigrants (join the part of Loo Doggs and count on may be 1-2 percent of population who may support them which would be 3-6 million votes).
In nutshell, from the perspecitive of politicians, it is never a good deal to support EB immigration; the only incentive for them is the money they get from big companies like microsoft, IBM, google etc. And this is not enough to land us anywhere. Only a very few politician (like sen Lofgren) work for their principles, rest is all vote bank; that's why horses are more important than us.
I am a little bit bitter here, but it is time to understand this reality and consider our strategy accordingly; espeicially for the possible CIR next year.

trouble is that labor certification is not explicitly mentioned in 406 (although that seems to be the intent). Besides, section 405 says that those with "advanced degrees" in STEM and who have been employed on NIV can directly apply for change of status subject to per-country caps .. then again there is mention of a special labor certification process for those with advanced degrees. So i think the conclusion is that while labor certification wont be done away with , there will be special handling for those with STEM degrees .. and those with 3+ years experience AND STEM degree wont be subject to per-country limits.Again, lots of ifs and buts in the whole thing .. we will have to wait and see.

In fact I had the same thought! I did talk to a number of fellow participants on Sep 18th rally. Everybody seemed to welcome the idea!
Come on guys, think over it...
Which of the following news will attract the attention of the congress more?
About 1000 Legal immigrants rally in Washington DC!
Or
Thousands and thousands of legal immigrants rally all over the country!
It is very obvious that the total number of participants (put together) will be much higher in local rallies. For instance, I was the only one in the Sep 18th rally from my family. If it was local, all the four of my family would have been there! I am sure that this is the case with most of us!!
Sep 18th was a golden day in our strong movement! We learnt a lot from the dedicated organizers. Many of the participants (including myself) have gained practical experience about what is involved in organizing a rally. Let us build up on this experience to organize multiple but simultaneous rallies in different parts of the country (in almost all the state capitals and big cities).
I have a lot to share.... but can't do it more during my office time.
Shall come back to you during the week end.
Meanwhile, I would love to hear from others about this concept!!

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
From the last report of FLC.
80,029 cases certified between Oct. 1, 2005, and Sep. 30, 2006.
55 % were issued for workers from just the five countries of India, China, South Korea, Philippines, and Mexico.

Logiclife's post may be a little strong in words. But it wasn't done with any ill-will toward anyone. Please remember it was borne out of frustrations borne out of some volunteers playing hokey at important IV events after RSVPing to attend and volunteer.
Naturally the organizer felt frustrated at the unexpectedly low-level participation at a very important event, for which significant personal sacrifice was done.
A word of advice to everyone - Do NOT volunteer to anything unless you are 100% sure you'll be doing it. Don't volunteer 'spur of the moment' to backtrack later. It's a rude and unprofessional conduct. We are all highly-skilled professionals here, right?
Take your time ( I mean weeks, a month or two, not 10-12 months of years !), become convinced about the IV cause. If you believe in it volunteer with full heart and conviction. And once you do, keep your words and promises. Don't make empty promises that aren't kept. It creates a very bad impression about you as a person. Not everyone will publish it here, but you'll be marked off as 'all talk, no action' from that point onwards.
If you expect others to respect you, please respect others first. Be professional and considerate in your conduct. If you cannot volunteer it's fine. Please don't make others lose their interest. For if they do and abandon the cause, you'll be a loser too !

The check was cashed on July 12 and I was able to get the receipt number. BUT BY NOW I HAVE NOT RECEIVE THE RECEIPT. It seems many people are in the same boat. What we can do about it?
Anybody knows how many days it would take between they cash the check and mail out the receipt? What address do they use?
Did u get the receipt number on the back of the cheque or did u call USCIS and get it ???

I am very interested as well. I find this highly ridiculous that people have to wait 6-7 years to get residency status in any country. It is high time that the laws of the land change.
Please advise on what can be done.

Just reporting what I saw on CNN. During the Sen. McCain interview with Judy Judy Woodruff & Richard Stengel, Richard asked something like - what about the green cards for the highly skilled immigrants educated by American Universities. To this Sen. McCain replied implying - they should be given green cards sooner, I am not sure if they could be given automatic green cards but the process should be faster.....
He said it not exactly in these words but implying something to that effect. They were suppose to ask Sen. Obama the exact same questions. Did anyone see Sen. Obama's answer to the question about green card for high skilled immigrants from Richard Stengel? Just curious....

Really an interesting issue to talk about. I came to this site via google search. I am in the same boat. I am living in country for 14 years (F1 and now H1) with SSN. My wife never worked here; so she has H4. We have a daughter born here with SSN. We could not get this "stimulus rebate" because we filed "married filing jointly". I understand from IRS site that if you filed "married filing separately" you would get the benefit and you can later on amend your filing as "married filing jointly" (04/14/08). This may be beneficial if you "itemize" your deductions. You will still qualify for excemptions. But, if you do not itemize your deductions, your standard deduction will be halved if you file "married filing separately".
We filed married filing joingly and received our tax returns and no stimulus rebate. Can we re-file our tax return by filing separately this year (i.e. extension/amendment within 3 months?) Has anyone done this? Please let me know.
I would love to a part of any legal battle to raise our concern. Please keep us posted. I plan to check this site regularly. Also, please keep us updated with getting SSN for H4 visa holders.

I have travelled AI around 6-7 times with no issues at all. On the other hand I have horrible experience with Continental and Air France.
As for your experience in Frankfurt (gift purchased in Duty Free in NY not allowed), this has nothing to do with AI. It is Security staff in Frankfurt. I suspect the gift included something liquid (alcohol or perfume etc) which are NOT allowed at security point.
That is why it is advised either to carry these stuff in your registered bag OR purchase it from a duty free at the last point where you board a flight.

Do you have I-485 pending? If yes, I94# is not significant. If you don't give A#, USCIS will issue RFE or fix themselves looking into database - which my delay processing.
I94# is used only when A# is not available, e.g. students applying for OPT based EAD for first time.
Thanks.
Also should I attach my photocopy my OPT card also or just current EAD card is sufficient?

This may be useful to understand a little more about e-filing of I-140 for those of who doesn't know much because the employer/lawyer doesn't give u full information. There appears to be no e-filing for I-485. Anyway navigate thru the USCIS pages for more info.

Originals and Copies. In almost all cases, submit a photocopy of your supporting document to the USCIS. For more information, see How Do I Know If I Need Original Documents? If form instructions state that a copy of a document may be filed with an application, and you choose to send USCIS the original, USCIS may keep that original for our records.
Translations. Any foreign language document must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and correct, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate the foreign language into English.
Print a copy of your Confirmation Receipt notice and attach it as a cover page (or first page) to your supporting documentation package.
DO NOT include a copy of your E-Filed application with your supporting documentation.
If you E-Filed several applications concurrently (see E-Filing Forms Concurrently), you will have a Confirmation Receipt notice for each application submitted.
Include the Confirmation Receipt notice(s) as the first page of the supporting documentation for each application.
DO NOT include any paper-based applications or fees with your supporting documentation for the E-Filed application.
NOTE: All Attorneys and Organizational Representatives E-Filing an application or petition on behalf of a client, MUST perform the following steps:
Generate a copy of the G-28 (it will be generated as part of the PDF file application after you click the �Finish� button).
Confirm that the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information does appear on the G-28.
If the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information does NOT appear on the G-28, print out the G-28 (it will printout with the PDF file application).
Make a copy of the G-28 for each application electronically submitted.
Fill in the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information by hand.
Sign each G-28.
Submit the completed and signed G-28s to the address on the Confirmation Receipt notice with the required supporting documentation.
If you E-File Form I-907 by itself or concurrently with any other application, please see the list of Special Mailing Addresses.
Keep a copy of your Confirmation Receipt notice(s) and application(s) for your records, noting what supporting documentation you mailed and the date you mailed it. You may wish to make a copy of the entire package before mailing it.
Place all supporting documentation into one package and mail it to the address provided on the Confirmation Receipt notice. If you E-File Form I-907 by itself or concurrently with any other application, please see the list of Special Mailing Addresses.
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in processing delays or even denial of your application.
