Hi,
I was wondering is this a firm news that- Labor gets expired after 6 months if you dont apply for 140..
It it right.. am thinking it depends on state to state ?
Appreciate your replies.

The only birth certificate I have is when I was in 10th grade.
Will that work? Or do I need to get "the" certificate?
Please advise.

Thank you for the info...My PD is 03/25/2005...A lot of people filed for their RIR or regular LC in the 2nd quarter of 2005 (jan-march) trying to get ahead of new PERM, which was supposed to have greater chance for an audit. Last day of old LC was 03/28/2005 and thus the hike of PD's that quarter...the following quarter you didn't see many LC approvals until lawyers and applicants were confident enough that the PERM system in fact was working as expected to start filinf for new appls, and thus the fewer approvals
It's hard to get a good idea when so few people participate in the poll so I took the data available on and ran a few numbers.
I queried for EB3-ROW I485 pending applications (~700 applications) and copied/pasted the data to a spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pivQbtGMEqKxBgHVI0_y4IQ
Here's a report with a PD distribution chart so you get a better idea on where we stand:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t3r2tmt49we
You'll have to zoom in a little to view the labels more clearly. The data is sampled quarterly on the chart.
I uploaded the data to Google Docs in case you want to create different statistics.

I am in the same situation. My attorney advised me to have one with my name if possible. I scanned mine and my wife's Birth certificate and sent it to my Dad in India. He said that he will get the original in 2 days. Looks like it is a straight forward process. You could just send it with a copy of ur passport.
P.S: They would need the copies to be notarized before taking it to corporation or municipality
you didnt understand my question. I do not have a birth certificate at all. in this case, what document should I use? thats the question.

What form does your brokerage firm send you at the end of the year? Is it a 1099-INT form that records your profits for the year? What if it were a loss. Do you still get a 1099-INT.
An H1B working for a single employer will have only one W-2 but he / she may have different 1099-INTs from savings accounts / trading firms etc for filing taxes. This should be ok, correct?
Investments are not reflected on W2. If you use a broker such as TDAmeritrade etc they will issue you a 1099
You will receive an IRS Consolidated Form 1099 - an all-inclusive document showing your reportable income and transactions for the entire tax year - if your brokerage account received at least $10 in either dividends, interest or original issue discount (OID) income, or had an equity sale, in the 2008 tax year.
- You will not receive a Consolidated Form 1099 for a retirement account, tax-exempt account, corporate account or foreign account.
- In addition, you may receive a corrected Consolidated Form 1099 if you held an investment trust that reclassified income after this form was sent to you.
There are 2 sets of rates.
1. Short Term Captial Gains
2. Long Term Capital Gains Taxes
Short term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held less than one year before selling.
Long time term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held more than one year before selling.
Long term capital gains taxes are less than short term capital gains taxes.
If you don't sell the stock, there is no tax on the capital gains.
The amount of tax depends your tax bracket.
The taxes on dividends are usually less than short term capital gains tax. So if you have a stock that is about to pay a dividend, get the dividend before selling, as that will reduce your capital gains.
Hope this helps

My ADD says "BS with 5+ years of progressive experience "
I have a 4 year engg degree from India and have over 10+ years of experience. I am filing for a PERM application that I want it to be eligible for EB2.
Currently in my lawyer's paper work job description does not mention progressive experience. My experience letters does not mention progressive experience. Will this cause a problem.
Thanks,

I am sure a lot of skilled people like us, especially immigrants, have a strong desire to work hard, smart and make money. Thanks for taking the initiative.
1. Do you plan to buy stocks directly from the companies or use a broker like TdAmeritrade, Charles Swab etc.,
2. Is there going to be one trading style like you mentioned about Pattern Day Trading.
3. Is there a plan to conduct some series of tutorials or sort and practice at our own risk without supervision
4. Will there be any local, phone or online meet
5. Above all how is it going to BENEFIT IV.
You got me glued to this now.

My PD is Nov 2001. It became current last month. Filed 485 this month. Now I see people with 2007 PDs eligible to file. Can't complain. Take it as it comes and proceed. You are not a player in these. You are only a spectator.
All will be fine. Good luck.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!
I was curious too about EB3 ROW not progressing. The only explanation could be that there were lot of consular cases with older PDs. (Or USCIS chose to ignore EB3 altogether. Remember the couple of hundred EB3-I visas wasted by USCIS recently.)

I am one of those guys who beleives everything happens for a purpose. I think voting on these ammendments took place for a purpose. Since the ammendments are already agreed to they can be attached easily to any other bill now. Like appropriations or even AgJobs bill.....
Hope for the best...
If the current bill that was agreed gets attached then according to Learning01(moderator) we will be in a big mess.After listening to him I think he is right.

we are all waiting so lets all wait together.

The FIFO policy applies (i know, i know, there are lots of exceptions) to applications in a particular category. In fact, for those who have PDs before the current cutoff, there is no FIFO. I know that you have been harping on this for a long time that eventually EB2 will be held back in favor of EB3, but there is no logical basis for this argument. Why isn't EB1 for the retrogressed countries backlogged? With your logic, there should be a time when EB1 is held back for EB2 and EB3 to catch up.
The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.There is no perfect mechanism to determine the ratio but I would guess 80% are out from that group. Second factor what we need to look is Most of EB3 Mid 2002 to Mid 2005 are still in the system. Third factor what we need to understand is that EB3 filing is always more than double of EB2. Fourth fact is that USCIS has to see "FIFO" is followed or not. So end effect would be we will see EB3 India progressing from this December till April 2008 bulletins reasonably. EB2 will be put on hold . End result in summary would be both EB2 and Eb3 will be brought to Middle of 2005 by next June bulletin. Once that happens Eb2-I will moving faster with comparision to EB3-I.

Just few months ago, I had enough to spare 20% down payment for the type of townhome I liked, I made commitment for buying it. I have been carefully reading various home related articles in news papers as well as in IV postings. All the arguments against buying did not affect decision-making in terms of delaying or stopping.
Some of the ancinet Indian thoughts link changes in luck (for good or bad) with differenct events of life - education, marriage, childbirth, new friends, change of place, change of job, change of home, etc. While selecting home I tried to follow as much as possible to Indian Vastu Shastra and Chinese Feng Shui.
This is my third home purchase - two was in India - so I am not excited like earlier purchases. In fact while selling previous one (because I needed money), I was not comfortable because I got very much attached.
Simply:
I did not buy earlier, because I was not having enough money. When prices lowered and I could afford, I made purchase. I had social pressure for the last five-six years to purchase home but I did not yield to that (20% was my bottom line). Now there is media pressure against buying but I did not yield to that.
It was just, when I became comfortable. I'll be moving next month.
