The statements that were enclosed with the checks received from Insurance Company shows deduction of OASDI and Medicare taxes but not Federal and State taxes. When we contacted the Insurance Company asking for a tax statement we were told that they have mailed all the statements to the employer and they should include in the W2 statement. Upon knowing from the Insurance Company, we wrote an email to the HR asking for a corrected W2. The HR replied that we can report those wages even without a W2 from the company and later she replied saying she didn't received any statements from the Insurance Company and also they have changed the payroll company and so they can no longer issue a new one.
We are based in NY. We also called IRS to confirm if we are suppose to pay taxes on those income. The IRS officer said it should be included in the W2 and have asked to wait until 02/15. The insurance premiums nor the cost-plus-fees for the sick pay (maternity disability) were paid by us.
There is a bold note on the statements saying:
1) The tax information must be reported on year-end w-2 forms
2) Federal Law HR4331 states that all disability payments will be subject to the Social Security Tax for the first six (6) months only
3) This tax has been deducted from your payment in compliance with this law

Kufloyd: Did you also see a change in LUD on your spouse's (assuming you filed for dependent) I-485?
The reason i ask that question is that i am exactly in same boat as you are. Case was transferred back and forth between NSC and CSC and it's finally pending at NSC and i saw a soft LUD on my I-485 today, but no change on my wife's I-485. Do don't know, if there's a pattern to it?

My lawyer sent a letter of interfiling to NSC but I do not think that they have taken any action on that. I have never seen any LUD on my pending 485. However, your case is stronger than me as your PDs based on sub labor is current so if you can aggresively try interfiling , you will succeed. Is your older PD I-140 approved ?
I have scheduled an Infopass appointment on Friday regarding my interfiling situation. I will tell you more on Friday.

Cobra,
Two years ago, I got a 221g.
I have a MS degree in EE in US and working in the same field. After 4 years on the job, I got a 221g during my 2nd H1B stamping interview.
The wait was painful and the stress was unbearable. After submitting the documents, it took 28 days for my application to be approved. To this date, I do not know what triggered a review of my case.
As long as your documents are legitimate, you have nothing to be afraid about. Your Visa will be granted after somebody from the relevant department reviews your case. Most cases are processed within 30 days after going into review.
This is collateral damage that we suffer as a result of massive H1B fraud perpetrated in South India. They randomly select a few applications to detect and investigate fraud. If the case is legitimate, they approve it. Otherwise, they reject it.
Keep your courage and spend time with your family. Most legitimate employers do not penalize employees who encounter such issues.
Good luck,
Nag

i sent something like you have desribed in option 1 for my evl rfe. my lawyer drafter it and the only legalese reference was : [please continue his process] "as per section" yada yada yada "of the American Competitivenes in the 21st century Act".
Hi,
My attorney received an EVL RFE for my I-485 case. My PD is 2007 EB3 so I don't have any hope of getting GC but I guess they are just pre-adjucating my case.
Here is my situation - I filed my !-485 in Aug 2007 and changed job (without filing any AC-21 paperwork with USCIS) in April 2008. My attorney had looked at new job description and given green signal for change. My entire immigration history of 10 years in US is totally clean with no gaps and with all work autorizations.
Now, my concern is that the letter that my attorney has prepared for my current employer to sign has lot of legal lingo (AC-21 language, lot of CFRs, info related to my LCA and I-140) and has some language to the effect of supporting my LCA and I-140 till my GC is approved. It also states that my current employer was able to afford to pay my salary since the LCA date. My employer is fortune 5 company so money wise there is no problem but my concern is that they may not want to sign such a lengthy (wordy) legal doc without consulting their Immi attorney. I don't have much time to respond (only 8 more days). So if my employer takes long time or tells me that they can not sign it, I want to be ready with Plan B. Can someone suggest what should I do?
1 - should I prepare a simple document with job duties, responsibilities, start date, salary etc that my employer will be willing to sign. So at last moment I can atleast get that signed. Something will be better than nothing.
2 - Should I / (bigger question is can I) ask USCIS to give me more time to respond to RFE?
3. Provide simple letter from employer with an affedavit or something stating that the new job is same / similar as the old job.
Sorry for a long post and thanks for any suggestions.

catch22
02-28 11:53 AM
Catch22 - Seems like u hv touched the surface now.
It's more deep-rooted, even to an extent that the two Countries are sharing the "acquired" Citizens (thanks to the dual Citizenship format). It didn't amount to the Indian Govt saying " Give me back my elite. I just lost it" and the US Govt saying "Sorry, it's our gain and for keeps". It's all part of an elaborate and acknowledged process (creamy situation for the individual) .
US needs the Skilled force and matches them up with opportunities (some other countries have the force in abundance and are overwhelmed). At no point in time should the force be subjected to undue hardship, especially if a process can be remedied. Immigrating is tough. Alongside, a host of collaterals get pledged by - families, roots, skills, labor, career, merit, all towards one goal. It's a conscious decision that an individual involved makes and backs it up with his credentials. If these credentials are deemed meritorious, the process starts (in a mutually acceptable manner, if there exists a provision). If rules get changed midway affecting those collaterals, you raise it with the concerned. In this situation, I give this much to the Indian Government - it's for its people (doesn't mean to say that it lies in wait to net a wings-clipped bird). It would honour your decision and look into your cause, if justifiable. In the same vein, the US Government acknowledges merit and talent and has laid out provisions by which it welcomes the same. Hence, the process.
Word of caution: It's also in the way that you put across your viewpoint
I am not sure what makes you feel that India is overwhelmed with talent that they have to request America to take in some of these folks. India is not a war-torn country that America has to take in Indian refugees.
BTW, America does not recognise "Dual citizenship" or acquired citizenship or whatever. To your point, even if India and America were moving towards closer co-operation, the Indian Government can only ask America for increased "temporary" visas (H1B) for free movement of 'Services', per WTO. Certainly NOT lobby for Permanent Resident Status for its citizens in a foreign country. Sorry, my friend, your rationale is too utopian for me. I, unfortunately, live in the real world.
P.S: My previous post was more rhetorical. I did not mean to hurt or harm anyone.

Try your best not to miss the FP appointment. There is certainly a way to reschedule, but with so much backlog, your next date can be very far away. Missing a FP will also impact your processing time.

just a guess, they must be pre-adjudicating - pending a visa number. So, looks like (again a guess), if they pre-adjudicate before the FP expiry date, then you are good, otherwise, they will ask you to go to FP again...

She knows no other place than the US and can be kicked out anytime the husband goes out of status.

My inputs may not help you , but I am posting it so that it could prevent others from making this mistake..
If spouse has EAD and AP, then using of EAD will not abandon H4 status nor it will jeoperdize the GC applicant H1b status.
A safe bet for dependet is to use EAD instead of getting H1b and going thru all stamping coplications. Being a spouse of GC applicant has lots of advantages...:D.
Now coming to your question, I think you should not depend on this forum for your solution. Contact a good attorney and take their advice.
Good luck..

The status of my Travel document on USCIS site has been following for a while -:
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On September 20, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
How long does it take for it to actually arrive??? Any idea??
Hi rc0878,
Yes, I do have EAD and AP in hand. I got my AP papers in mail around 1 week back. I am not sure about processing times at this very moment.
Also, received original 485 receipt notices from my Attoreny and it does say RD is July 2, 2007, which is good.
My case has successfully reached at NSC and have not seen any LUD after that. Still waiting for FP notices so that I can consider that everything is good with my case at NSC..
Thx..

You need to know what is your current job & duties mentioned in the Labor certification if you want to change the job with AC21. Otherwise you dont need the LC. But its good idea to have all the docs with you.
