Babu, thanks for confirming that this stupid rule is in fact true. I always wonder how USCIS gets crafty in making new rules.
It will be easier to just get the stamping done in INDIA. That way, will get stamp till 2010.

The new rule establishes that a reduced course load is only acceptable to maintain F-1 status if it is subject to prior approval by the school and includes.....
Reduced Course Load - 214.2(f)(6)(iii)
The new rule establishes that a reduced course load is only acceptable to maintain F-1 status if it is subject to prior approval by the school and includes at least six semester or quarter hours, or half the clock hours required for a full course of study. A reduced course load for less than half time is only acceptable for defined medical reasons (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(B)) or for the final term of study if the school determines that fewer courses are needed to complete the course of study (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(C)).

What Bright side Buddy? This is a typo by a rooke who got hired into USCIS. Call them they will reissue it for 2 years. You may have to mail this back.
reddymjm please remember that he needs the EAD to work and if he returns it in anticipation of getting a 2 years ead and if he does nto get he is in big trouble.

Hi Mike. Please don't mistake the spirit of this post. By no means is it a "wish" for Nikon or Canon, or any manufacturer to be "on the ropes". The very simple fact is the D2h does not compare to the Mark II. That is from a shooters perspective. Not only my personal experience, but of other long time Nikon shooters I know who are switching. I also know from personal experience of a major wire service bureau who is not happy with the D2h quality as is switching to Canon. My observations are based on my working experience, and that of other working PJ's that I interact with on a regular basis. I truly hope Nikon's next camera and their cameras after that are killer. That would be best for all.
With 80% of the total professional market I guess not too badly. I believe the D2H is a much newer system than the 1d mk2 and of course it will be almost half the price streetwise, so a lot of part time pros will want to consider this body seriously. I seem to rember the 1D did not do well against the D1H, also with half the res, until the 1d started to match the Nikon price. I guess the same thing will happen, only the D2H does have a killer system this time round. Someone mentioned file tranfers to editors and publishing house and mobile connectivity,I think that's where something like the D2H will probably score. Canon are big timers, they will stay the course, at least for now. I don't think hoping for Nikon to be on the ropes will be particularly useful though.

Mike

I vaguely remember a discussion several months ago on the forum about people that have gone back to their home countries after having waited for their green cards.
We have a media interview opportunity and need to find such examples. I remember an instance about a person going back to Bombay after he had immigration issues. He had set up his company there. Such people who could have helped US economy and growth will make a compelling story.
Pls. let me know urgently of any such cases and I will follow it up. This is required today and we have a short time window.
Two of my colleagues went back to India after facing GC hurdles. Among the two one is Phd in Atomic Science and Computer Science and lead a group of people and another is a Project Leader.
In the first one's case it took more than 4 years for him to clear his labor and got frustrated by this process. He initially sent his family back to home because of uncertainty. That created more hurdles for him as well as his family could not able to get AP in time and he is nearing completion of his 6 year H1 as well. Eventually he decided to pack his bag and went back to his home country, setup a big business and now visiting US on business Visa and take some of the jobs from here to there :)
[Side note: His approved LC remains unused at the company end even now, but finding a suitable person seems to be an uphill task for the Management and HR]
In the second one's case his labor took almost 5 years to clear and having frustrated, he decided to go back as well. He does not want hang in a place where a decision cannot be given in a timely manner. He got some special technical skills and his roll is now being replaced by 2 people. He also went back to his home country, joined a big IT firm as a Director and getting more jobs to be outsourced there :)
In both the cases, US is a clear looser by not taking advantage of the skill sets they have.
If you need more information in specific kindly send me a PM to respond you back.
Thanks

Thanks guys for your reply. This was tremendous knowledge that you guys dumped in.
Let's say if I am on the green card (EAD) , then still I can not evade this tax situation correct ?I mean if they pay me and I pay to the company in India who is really responsible for the service.
Right now, with the current setup, the company in India will have to pay corporate taxes on their overseas income. If I'm not mistaken, IT companies have a reduced tax rate in India. All in all, the 4pc should not be a big damper.

Myht 1: If I-485 gets denied I have H1-B to as a back up.
Think of this - you get AP and EAD based on pending I-485. Similarly, you get H1-B extension beyond 6 years based on your pending green card process. Once your I-485 is denied, your AP, EAD and extended H-1, all are gone at once. Yes, extended H1-B is no longer valid after that. You simply can not fall back on that.
Myth2 : I want to continue on H1-B even after getting EAD, I feel safer.
Think again. Suppose you came to the US in 2004. In 2007 during the visa gate scandal, you filed your I-485 and got EAD. At that point of time, you had two options. You could have continued H1-B or changed over to EAD. Person A changed to EAD. Well, once he changed to EAD his clock of "Time spent on H1-B" stops right there. Come 2010, if his I-485 gets denied, he still has 3 years of H1-B left and he can use it till 2013.
Person B decided to continue using H1-B after 2007 and kept his EAD as backup. Same thing happened, his I-485 got rejected in 2010. He can not go back to H1-B. He has utilized H1-B for all 6 years and he can not get it extended without going out of the US for one year.
So by keep EAD for "in case I-485 goes south" and using H1-B, you are killing your options. If someone has a choice between EAD and H1-B, he should use EAD.
Gurus.....any comments?
Answer to Myth1: If your 485 gets denied, you CAN fall back on your H1, provided you are still working for the H1 sponsor and your H1 has not expired. If your 485 is denied, then your EAD cannot be renewed but is valid to its expiry. Your AP on the other hand is no longer valid as it depends on the 485 for survival - Immigration will check your 485 status during secondary screening. H1 is standalone and does not depend on 485 status.
Answer to Myth2: You can keep EAD as backup to change employer or even work for current employer. Your H1 extension is based on 140 approval and not 485. If your 140 is revoked, you cannot extend your H1, unless you have an approved 140 with another employer.

Hi nixstor,
Looks like you had done some research in this matter . Can you advise me . i am also in the same situation like yours .
My current H1 is going to expire on june 07 along with my wife's H4. I applied today for my extension along with the H4 in premium processing. Shall i go ahead with the new H1 for my wife on April 1 in regular processing even without waiting for the extension or wait for the approval?
Any issues with that approach?
Your H1 and her H4 should be approved by Apr 1st as you did PP. Even if its not approved she is still fine as she has status until Jun 7th. Even if her H4 is not approved and only your H1 gets approved with PP and if USCIS happens to process her H1 before H4 they will issue an RFE asking to prove her status (which is pending approval). Once her H4 is approved, you can answer their RFE and then her H1 will be approved. This is what the lawyer told me.
I still see a lot of people who are not approved in Dec. USCIS processing times say they are doing 1/13/07. Damn!

the word "returning worker" makes more sense to me and its the right word to express who you are in two words- rather than story telling.
i would assume, unless they ask for your status details we dont need to talk about it. just shoe the latest 797 approvaland you should be all set. am i right?
i was asking for people who are going on H1B's , especially after their 6 years of regular H1B timeframe and who are at some stage of GC process. thanks.

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).
There are a few lawyers who say this is possible, but the majority consensus is that using EAD with even one employer invalidates your H1.
Dont worry about a months salary at this point. If you want to maintain H1, try to delay the H1 transfer a bit so that you complete as much of 180 days as possible with your current employer.

What are you going to achive by knowing about US citizens..???
If they make a rule wherin US born child parents should be given the US citizen ship, hands down I can say immigrant will make use of this rule efficiently.:D:D:D:D:D
right. Either way one has to go through Labor pains. Atleast in this case the case is processed within 9 months, we dont have to keep waiting and looking for Visa Bulletins.
Also, I am sure in this case no one is going to try LC-substitution.
In addition, no one is going to agree to file a case as a 'future employer'. It will only be filed once the employee really commits to the sponsor.
