If you are beyond 6 years and I-485 denied then applicant is doomed weather you are in H1 or EAD. Only route is MTR. My attorney confirmed it.
She suggest unless MTR get open. You should not even work to avoid the issues.
So it does depend attorney to attorney. I don't think we have any case examples in either senarios. So bottom-line, do whatever you feel correct and make you happy. :)
Personally, I think RG is seems more logical. If you use EAD your H1 becomes invalid. No one revokes but it happens. Similarly, H1 becomes invalid as underline petition get denied.
Read on some other thread: Only reason why H1B doesn't get revoked immediately post 6 years is not having a full-proof integrated system, and such system may soon be here. I will post any link if I find this again.

Small or medium companies who played by the rules are doing okay. I transferred H1B couple of times between small companies during 2009-10 recession time and in each case it was approved in 2-3 days. Both the companies had a 100% record in H1-transfer and PERM approval.
I believe that small companies have a big impact too. As someone mentioned, check to see which companies filed GCs in the last 10 years....Infy, TCS or Small body shops?

I took home loan from SYNDICATE BANK, Hyderabad 3 yrs ago. The rates were reasonable and I'd recommend them, but you have to compromise little on service. You can directly transfer money from US to Syndicate bank.
My question here is I didn't knew that we can save money in the form of tax deductable/excemption here in US on interest paid in India for home loans. Could you please let me know further details? If possible the CPA who you worked/working with for tax returns.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
thanks bro

Thanks for your detailed anwers.
have you opened your own LLC currently while on EAD?
For all those who have sent PM.... Please note I am not an attorney or accountant... But then I had consulted my account and few attorney's ( paid the required fees to get them answered)... So please use your own judgement/caution.
1. Yes you can open a LLC singly or jointly with your wife/friend/anyone.
2. You can start the LLC even when you are on H1B but it is better that you wait till you get your EAD to get oprationalized. reason very very conservative view is that you cannot even write a check for your company or deposit a check... but this is a very conservative view....
3. To open a LLC you can use an accountant ( if you have one, it will be cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars) or use agencies like www.legalzoom.com/legalzip/LLCs/llc_procedure.html .... I have used both in the past....
4. Intially you can just form LLC as single or joint partnership and then elect as S corporations for taxing.... I forget within which period it is to be done, if I correctly remember when you file your first tax return or within 6 months you need to elect as filing as single person entity( then it becomes like your personal income) or you could elect as S corp....
5. You will a tax id for the LLC, business license and other documents when you form a LLC, You will need to maintain book and tax records for 3 years... best to have it managed by an accountant
6. You/ your spouse can work for your LLC.... Some of you if you want to after 180 days change employers can move into your LLC and maintain that you are employed in same occupational duties for your own LLC...
Hope I have been able to answer your questions....:cool:

Morally it is right to send money to parents, but legally it is not. As you can strive but, you wont be fair to either set of parents. Hence I believe "money" should not be sent to parents. Your parents should have planned their own future, including humanitarian needs. Only if your other half agrees, then only you should send money. Otherwise, it is your and your spouse's money.
Yes, you are right! The Indian parent should have given their retirement a very high priority than their kids education. There are millions of middle class parents who didn't care about their retirement but worried and planned for their kids future by spending not only money but also precious time.
How many Indian origin parents in US invest in their children to make them a 'well rounded' personality so that these children can go to IVY leagues? I believe, it is time for them to focus on their retirement than to spend money on Kumon, Music/Dance classes, soccer/swimming lessons, softball/little league, chess lessons, spelling bee etc...
And why should they move to a sprawling four bedroom home in a suburb and save on heating cost by making their home as an igloo? The reason is their kids can get more space to play around, get a sense of community and build friends.
Just a 3BR aptmt should suffice. And why would a returning NRI want to enroll his kids in an International school?
Your post is a great eye-opener to NRI parents here! It is time for them to do what is
'just enough' for their kids and load up their IRA, 401K and after tax mutual fund or probably put it in a CD or stash it under a mattress! You know why, the ungrateful kid doesn't care about the parents even during humanitarian crisis!
Here is my figment of imagination if society stoops to that level...
Our hero would visit his parents apartment with his wife in tow, alight from his beamer and tell "Alright dad, It's OK if you don't have money to treat your cancer. We would surely help you thru our contacts. Our temple group has a special program. Also it's a great advantage that my wife has lots of contacts in her part-time business. She's also a part of a church group that takes up urgent humanitarian needs..Don't worry, we'll make it"

Recieved an e-mail from USCIS that our (family) AP's are approved.
RD 08-13-07 (NSC)
ND 09-19-07
AP 01-11-08 (4~5 processing time!!)
I believe this info is helpful for those who are waiting.

If you have made a contribution and posted on this thread or on the thread we had before your name should be on the list. We do not have an automatic way of updating this list once someone had made a contribution through paypal at this time. Every night I go through this thread, update numbers and names. I could have made a manual error and missed some names but once people have brought that to my attention I have been double checking and responding back to them. I know I am behind on verifying one or two contributions but I will catch up. I work long hours,take classes and I live 80 miles away from where I work. I wish I had more than 24 hours in my day. If you could help us with maintaining an accurate list that would be awesome.
Hope I answered your query :)
Actually I paid $100 and not $50. It was two $50 on the same day.

How would I-140 approvals impact the availability of visa numbers and isnt spill over already happening,ie, removal of country caps, as we have seen last year,last quarter as well in July VB?
More I140 approvals (of those who have already filed their 485) means more 485 eligible to be adjudicated. Longer the queue and more efficient the USCIS is - slower the PD movement.

My case is not yet approved, I Filed on Aug 01 st, Vermont Service Center.
Can you really go for H1 stamping when you are coming back on AP.
As far as I know, you should not use H1 at port of entry while coming back, if you do that your green card will be aboundend. Gurus please currect.
If you are not coming back on H1, then why are you going for stamping?
I think , if your I-485 is approved while you are out of US, then you are not supposed to enter on H1. Till that time, you can use AP to enter US, if you prefer.

Hello!
If possible can you allow people to donate any amount they want?
I did $100 donation and transaction Id is 4V64496321804025H. I have sent this information to all of my friends. There might be some people who want to donate but less than $100 one time donation.
My understanding is that IV is having around 24,000 members and even if everybody donates $2 then it will be around $46K. So if possible please send a mail to all the members to do at least $5 donation.
Thanks and Regards
