I recently applied for a PAN Card. Got a DD through my parents in India and sent the form. Today they sent a mail with following --
1) We are yet to receive payment for application.- Kindly e-mail Cheque /DD no. and date on which amount has been debited from your account
2) Photograph provided is not proper for scanning.
Have any one faced similar problem ? A valid DD was included and they say they did not receive the payment ?? Also, the photo was of right size and clear enough so I am not sure what else to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
check with your bank whether they cashed the DD. tell them DD is lost - they might cancel old one & issue new one.
Photograph - no idea. call them & find out.

I wonder if there are any provisions in there that can indirectly help our backlogs as well? Text of bill: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22907
This has passed House and I was reading in Oh's site that President will sign it soon. Is it possible to throw in some indirect 485 backlog reduction provisions in there?
Oh's report:
07/17/2007: Passport Processing Meltdown to Receive Some Help from Retired Diplomats
Currently, the department is receiving more than 1 million passport applications a month and holds a backlog of about 500,000 that have been pending more than 10 weeks, instead of the usual six to eight The Senate passed S. 966 bill late last month to allow State to rehire retired Foreign Service employees to staff overwhelmed passport processing centers across the country. Retirees now have little incentive to return because current law cuts their salaries by the amount of their pensions. The House yesterday agreed to the Senate bill and passed it yesterday which is likely to grant the State Department the flexibility to rehire retired and fully trained passport processors on a temporary basis to help existing processors manage the increased demand. The President is likely to sign the quickly. Read on (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews) (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews).
Probably I am jumping the gun here but if I am not, hope this post won't hurt IV's agenda.

Thanks for reply...
do we need to file any other form along with i-130.
like i-864 or is this needed at a later stages.?
Thanx in advance
No. You need to file only i-130 and attach required docs like Birth Certificate etc.
we need to file I-485 (Adjustment of status) when the date is current which happens after long wait...

Hello All,
I need your advice. My H1B for first 3 years is expiring in Sep 09. I am a consultant and my project is till June 09. So I will be on bench after that till I get a new project. So if I have to file for extension should i file it now when I am in project or should i wait.
When I asked my employer about filing extension, they told that they are getting lot of queries these days. They even told be if my project is getting over early then its difficult to get an approved extension as these days they even have to send the contract letter of clients which do states that when my project is going to end.
So i need to know what are my options.
When Should I file for extension and is there any other options.
Thanks in advance!!

I got busted going twice the speed limit in a 55 MPH zone and just got convicted of Reckless Driving.I got 364 Days Suspended Sentence.
Does that count as an "crime of Moral Turpitude". Does that mean that I-485 will be deined?
Do you know anyone who was convicted of reckless driving and got their green card?
All replies are appreciated.
Hope this encourages you
unless you hit someone and was jailed or something. Getting a speeding ticket due to reckless driving is just a traffic violation and should not be mentioned. I had some reckless driving tickets, never mentioned that and got my GC last week.
So enjoy.

Aliens who married or had children before the date of obtaining permanent residency can possibly confer �following-to-join� benefits to their family members. Due to this process, spouses and children will be able to receive green cards quickly. �Following-to join� is not family based immigration, but is similar to a child/spouse receiving derivative benefits based on a primary LPR�s immigration petition.
Here are the following requirements to be met in order for a spouse or child to qualify under �following-to-join�:
1. The LPR must have adjusted status or obtained an immigrant visa through a preference category (family or employment based) or diversity lottery. A LPR�s visa number must also be current in order for a family member to receive �following-to-join�.
2. The petitioner married/had children before becoming a permanent resident and the relationship between the permanent resident and spouse/child is intact at the time of filing. Children of LPRs must be unmarried and under the age of 21. Furthermore, the child/step-child must be from an existing marriage before the LPR obtained permanent residency.
�Following-to-join� is convenient because it allows primary beneficiaries to do away with filing a separate I-130 for their spouse or child, greatly expediting the green card approval process. Furthermore, spouses and children of LPRs do not have to wait for a visa number to become available. Where a LPR�s spouse or child currently resides affects what procedures he/she needs to follow. If ones spouse and/or child are already in the United States, they may apply for adjustment of status (I-485) based on �following-to-join� and if they are outside of the United States then LPRs need to inform a U.S. consulate of their lawful permanent residency status in order for their family members to apply for an immigrant visa.

Is it possible to get F1 status adjusted to H1 without going for a H1 stamping?
Yes. If you have your H1-B approval notice with a start date, say Feb 1, 2008, and I-94 cards with it, then you will automatically be on H1-B from Feb 1, 2008 (assuming that you have valid F-1 status still Jan 31, in this example. OPT is F-1 status).
If your H1-B approval came without I-94 cards, then you need to go out of the country to adjust status.

Last week I attended the Annual Immigration Lawyers conference in Las Vegas. During the conference, government officials spent some time to update the attendees of the most recent information and upcoming changes.
It seems that the collection of the $500 fraud fee for new H1B or L-1 petitions is being used to invest in hiring more investigators. One recent trend is that business practices that were standard and went unchallenged previously, now are being viewed as �fraud.� Many companies must revise their practices to meet current standards. This does not mean that these practices of employers or businesses are necessarily fraudulent.
The biggest frustration for lawyers dealing with H1B's are the unreasonable RFE's being issued by the service since the April 1 filing. USCIS is making requests for photos of the premises, copies of contracts between all involved parties, and evidence of doing business including leases, licenses, and other proof. These requests are onerous for employers, as well as disruptive and harmful to both the employer and the employee when the H1B petition is often denied without valid justification.
USCIS presumes fraud if the employer meets two out of the following three criteria: has been doing business for fewer than ten years, has fewer than 25 employees, and/or has less than $10 million in revenue. Most well-established, bona fide companies started with these drawbacks. Even many large, well-known, highly-reputable companies are being issued intensive requests for evidence (RFEs) that seem to be without basis. This trend must stop, otherwise employers will be discouraged from filing for new H1B workers.

You can say 'Yes', but it will trigger unnecessary questions from IO. I am not sure about the consequences. If I were you, I would say NO as its not full time course and not going to change the status to F1. I beleive you should say 'YES' only if you change to F1 visa in the future.

Please click on link to read entire article - very interesting.
...There are now 2.57 million Indians in the United States, according to the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. That makes it one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups. Indians are well-off, generally. Median family income is over $69,000. Indians are educated, for the most part. Seventy-six percent have at least a college degree.
India is everywhere. It’s in Booker Prize lists, spelling bees and specially-for-you nuclear deals. It’s in Sukhi’s homecooked chicken tikka masala paste at Whole Foods. It’s in Bhangra aerobics classes and Britney remixes. Newsweek called South Asians the “new American masala.” Five hundred years after Christopher Columbus thought he had discovered Indians, we are truly found.
When I first came to the U.S., Americans asked me about that “dot on the forehead.” Now, Madonna wears a bindi. Bollywood borrows Hollywood plotlines (well, two or three for one three-hour film). Now, the Kronos Quartet reinterprets Bollywood composer R.D. Burman. Birthday cards are reproducing old kitschy Indian matchbox covers. Body-hugging T-shirts worn by gay guys in the Castro say “San Francisco” in Devnagari script. There are even Bollywood appreciation classes at universities. My kitsch has become their cool....
