Hi All,
A few questions for those who have experience with registering a sole prop. in the US.
My wife is on an H4 visa and has registered a sole prop. earlier this year. Since she is not eligible to work, she has hired a U.S. citizen as a contractor to run the company.
Does owning a company in the US have any impact on our green card application?
Can she draw profits from the company at the end of the year as a return on the investment she made to start the company?
Is she considered a "U.S. person" ( seen in multiple tax forms )?
Is it safe for her to fill out a W-9 form with the FEIN that the company was registered with?
Thanks for the quick response.

Hi
I came to us on H4 in 2007 and the got my H1B in 2008. I am not getting a job on H1 yet so i want to know that till when the H1B be valid as I am not genarating any salery and my consultant is not running my pay roll ?
And if the H1 goes dorment then what can be done next?
H1 would be valid/active the moment you accept employment with H1-B sponsoring employer.
Since you haven't started working and assuming you haven't accepted the offer from the
H1 sponsoring employer, YOU should be fine.
Please take advise from your company attorney.

My in-laws attended visitor visa interview at Hyderabad Consulate on 25th Feb. My mother-in-law (not working) got her visa (no questions asked) but father-in-law (an electrical engg manager, still working for central govt) was asked to fill out a questionnaire related to his professional experience and then given a white slip with a case number/email address and asked to email his resume/CV for further processing. He was told it would take 7 days to process his application.
I tried searching for similar cases on various forums and found some cases but couldn't find information on how long they took to approve the visa. So I was just wondering if anybody here has any further updates on such cases. Appreciate any feedback.
TIA.

I don't see any relevance of this Bill to our cause. What's the point in posting this here? Or am I missing something?
Congress Passes Border Fence Bill
from: http://www.numbersusa.com/index
Amnesty/Guestworker Programs Denied Before the Election
(September 30): Late Friday evening, the Senate passed H.R. 6061, the Secure Fence Act, by a 80-19 vote. The House had previously passed H.R. 6061 by a vote of 283-138-1 on September 14. It will now go to the President for signature. No further immigration-related action is expected in either chamber prior to the election.
This is a great victory, but much more needs to be accomplished. When Congress begins its post-election session on November 13, the push will begin again to pass additional enforcement measures, such as mandatory workplace employment verification and mandatory federal cooperation with state/local law enforcement, and to prevent amnesty and temporary worker programs from being revived.

Hi,
I filed my EAD and AP renewal on Sept 17 (20 days) ago but still I haven't heard received neither receipt notice nor my check being cashed. Is there anything we can do to find out about the receipt notice? Fedex tracking shows the mail being already delivered. I am currently working on EAD and recently used AC21 to switch the company so EAD is very important to me.
Please provide your feedback and if anyone is having same delays in getting receipt notice for EAD / AP.
Thanks,
BK
It should not take this long.
Did you send your application by Fedex or some other courier that had tracking? Are you able to track when the package(s) reached the Service Center? Which Service Center did you filed your applications at?

DS 157 is required based on age of the applicant ... your dad may not need but your mom need it ... pls check the vfs site for age range for DS 157 ...
hope this helps
HI,
I recently booked an appointment for visiting visa for my parents through vfs, during the process , I first entered my Dad's details and then his ds 156, then It asked if I wanted to add additional family members, then I entered my Mom's details and her ds 156 . After that it asked for my Mom's ds 157 and never showed my Dad's ds 157.
So the final list of documents it generated was :
Dad's ds 156, Mom's ds 156,157 , interview letter.
Is this correct, does my dad need ds 157 and interview letter or is 1 ds 157 and interview letter enough ?
Thank you for your time.

Hi there,
I got my FP done yesterday in Newark,NJ ASC. But online status only shows LUD on I-485 case.. I've applied EAD and AP too, but don't see LUD on them.
Also, in ASC they give you form to fillout, I only put my I-485 receipt number on it, should I have put all three receipt numbers?.
Any thoughts,
Thanks,

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Jon and Kate Plus 8, the once-popular TLC reality program about the Gosselin family, their twins and their sextuplets is kaput. But that's old news. Today, the Gosselins officially closed the chapter on their 10 year marriage with the announcement their divorce becoming final.
Divorce is always difficult. Kate says she looks forward to her future. No word from Jon...yet. For the Gosselins, they can and should move on.
But what if Jon or Kate were immigrants? What if Jon or Kate faced deportation because their marriage failed? If Jon or Kate had been granted a greencard based on their marriage, what would happen to them once their marriage ended?
This is an immigration concept called conditional residency. We represent many individuals who apply for permanent residency through their marriage to a US citizen. These are usually great cases because we are helping happy new couples stay together, and "move forward" in their lives. But what happens if the happy couple separates or divorces? In the worst scenario, USCIS will revoke or terminate the foreign spouse's conditional residency, leaving the spouse vulnerable to deportation proceedings, standing alone and at best, with competent immigration counsel at his/her side.
In revoking conditional residency and initiating deportation proceedings, USCIS looks into the nitty gritty details of what happened in that marriage, was the marriage entered into for the immigration benefit rather than purely for love? Who's fault was it that the marriage ended? And could you (the foreign national) prove it? Imagine the reality show going behind the scenes to investigate, whether it was Kate's nagging that led to the failure of the marriage, or whether Jon's alleged affairs were the actual cause of the breakup and divorce. And would you feel comfortable knowing that USCIS is your final arbiter? If you married, got conditional residency and are now in divorce proceedings or separated from your spouse, think about calling Fong & Chun, LLP for a free consultation. ---ecf

I am going out of country for 8 weeks, do you think i can move to state minimum insruance during this period and save some money ?
Please provide your valuable opinion.
Thanks
You can definitely save money by doing that. I had to keep my car in storage for an extended period when I was away and I just kept the comprehensive part of the insurance coverage and removed all others including collision since I was not driving it. The cost of insurance with out the collision, etc. is very low.

Now that the economy is in the toilet, it looks like people in H-1B will have to pay for it.
An ignorant group of people don't understand that the world has now changed. They can kick out all the H-1Bs or shut-down the whole H-1B category, but it won't make the U.S. any better. The companies will just start opening offices offshore and more jobs will be lost.
I am just awfully frustrated to see the fact that whenever something goes wrong in this country, the legal immigrant community will have to pay the price.

I just got me H1B approval Notice and copy of I0129 petition. There is nothing wrong with approval bu I notice few things and have few concern questions to the group if some one had similar experience in the past:
1. Passport number was not correctly typed in form I-129 (however copies passport were sent along with the forms by immigration dept)
2. My Alien number does not show up in 797A approval notice as I have pending 485.
3. The I-94# on passport card does not match with the one on new approval notice.
Now My questions is :
Do I need to get this passport#(1) typo fixed now or its ok?
Is it ok not have A# updated in H1B Approval Notice? My wife's H4 have her A#.
Do I need to get my I-94# matched with the one I had in my previous notice and A/D card stapled in passport?
All this happened due to mistakes commited by our Immigration/attorney.Now she is not ready to listen and asks me to call customer service as she thinks its not her problem.
Any suggestions/experience are apreciated.

If the company is moving within the same county then no issues.
If it's moving to a different state (or) to a different county within the same state, then refer the following thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158508&postcount=7
Remember, the prevailing wage differs from county to county even within the same state.
How about if the company moves with in the same state but different county. My company is moving to a bigger facility as we have outgrown the current facility. I have applied for I-485 on July 3rd and my I-140 is already approved.
Seeing that under AC21, they give flexibility to move to a different employer and different state, I think the law would be flexible enough to accomodate moving of the work location within the same state with same employer.
