It'd be great to get some more IVians to express their opinions/ideas and vote on this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=205773#post205773
The idea being bounced around is whether IV should be made an organization funded by membership dues, and benefits provided to members only.
The benefits:
- Logistics: Members identified/verified, not anonymous
- Communication: Improved one-to-one communication rather than hunting for information in forums. Perhaps even a newsletter updating you on what's going on, what's being planned, what are the activities.. and action items.
- Funding: Sustainable funding for lobbying efforts, media relations, etc.
- Live Nag-Free! No one asks you what you've contributed in every second post, you don't have to wear the ID tag of your contribution amount around your neck to prevent such questions
- Community: Be part of a community with a national presence, with local chapters.
- Legal advice: Get free legal advice in monthly/quarterly/periodic conf calls/webinars
- Jobs: Job postings or referrals on IV members-only site
- Business opportunities: Come together with other IV members to explore common business opportunities
- Myriad other benefits that memberships in professional organizations come with, such as travel discounts for instance.
The down-side:
- We may lose about half of our "members"
- Others???
Voice your opinions, share your ideas, and vote FOR or AGAINST this proposal here... :

Even though your end client is not the direct client for your employer, they might have used the laguage in the non-compete which reflects the scenario. So check your non-compete document.
May be the final verdict is in favour, you need to take so much of pain in the whole processes. If you prepare for these upfront you can go a head and fight. I had seen couple of instances in the NY, with my friends, where non-compete became VOID.

This must be the worst immigrant experience I have heard.
I am sorry to hear that you have to go through this. You must approach social workers' group in your local area. They will help you get proper treatment from reliable sources, and they will also appoint you a lawyer if you cant afford one.
Dont let that loser off the hook. Despite of all emotions involved in this case, go after him hard and square. Make him pay for what he did to your daughter.
I dont know about your GC process, for which consulting an immigration lawyer is the best thing to do, right now you have a much important issue at hand than just a green card.

Friends,
My EB2 I-140 got approved during 1st week of April and USCIS successfully ported my EB3 priority date of Jan, 2006 to the new EB2 I-140. As per my attorney, interfiling shouldn't be done as I have been with same employer all along and same employer sponsored for my porting. The attorney says, this should be automatically taken care of by USCIS.
My question is...I couldn't find the proper procedure/documentation for my scenario. Did any body come across this situation and can any one offer any suggestion?
Thanks for any inputs,
My Lawyer did send a interfiling letter with EB2 I -140 application. You can send it even after I-140 approval . Lawyer can send Interfiling letter requesting to approve I-1485 and also attach the copy of I485 Receipt notices ( you and your family).
Best Luck

I came to US on B2 10-year multiple visa, my I-94 is going to expire in a few weeks (first time extension approved ). My husband�s citizenship application has been pending for the past 10 months, it is in internal security check , so don't know how long it will take to clear.
What are the consequences if I over stay on my B1 visa for about 150 days, during which I apply for my I-130 and then go back to my home country and go for the consulor processing. Is this can be done? I got different opinions so confused. Would it impact my consular interview?
The hope is my husband�s citizenship would be approved before that and I might never have to leave the US.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my situation:
I was joined as a contractor at CLIENT through client's preferred VENDOR. My paystub runs by my EMPLOYER. I use to submit my timesheets to my EMPLOYER and VENDOR every week. My EMPLOYER runs my paystub everymonth with minimum pay amount and not as per actual earnings. For ex:my actuals were $9500/- per month, he rans for only $6000/- every month. This gap is because he says he didn't receive the payments from VENDOR. With these gaps everymonth the dues between my employer and me has increased a lot, and my employer has to pay to me some $xx thousands dollars. There is no document/written evidence with me from my employer. My employer always tells me on phone, how much they paid to me and how much of mine they are holding.
After my contract completion(for ex:10/30/09) at CLIENT, I joined and started as a Full Time Salaried employee at CLIENT on 11/5/2009. I submitted my resignation to my previous EMPLOYER on 11/16/2009.
I have to collect my dues(ex: $xx thousands) from previous EMPLOYER. How can I proceed further to collect these dues, as there is no document / written evidence with me from him. My previous employer always communicate with me on phone to update the money transactions.
My current visa status is, I am a Green Card holder.
Please help me how to proceed in collecting my dues from my previous employer.

Hi,
I am currently residing in US on H-4 visa. My husband is on H-1 visa and our Green Card processing is in progress - our
I-140 has been approved. Our priority date is in May 2008.
The current "priority dates" for EB-3 as per USCIS is April-2001. Based on this, When can we expect our "485" to be filed and our EAD to be approved ?
I have a law degree from India (12+3+3) and currently I am pursuing a paralegal program from an ABA approved university. I might loose my job oppurtunities if I don't have a work permit. Is there anyway that I can get a work permit with my pending GC application process, without hampering the GC process ? Can I get a work visa (or EAD) based on my education ?
Thanks,
BS
With a priority date of May 2008 EB3-India, unless there are legislative changes (or another July 07 fiasco) you are expecting a wait of atleast 4-5 years before you can file your 485 and get an EAD. Perhaps longer, considering how EB3 is ~8 years backlogged.
Your best bet would be get H1-B sponsorship.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was reading that getting approved I129 means you are cap exempt for next 6 years. As the petition for visa was filed in 2007, so according to this cap exemption should be for next 6 years i.e. 2013. Would be really nice if you can clarify this.

I have received all the receipt notices for I-485/AP/EAD for myself/wife.
Situation is this:
My current H1B expires on the 30th of September 2007 and I have applied for 3 year extension under premium processing last week.
If for whatever reason my H1B extension is denied then what are my options? First off, would it invalidate my I-485 application as it is employment based.
I believe if the answer to above is no, then I can just use my EAD and continue working.
Thank you for your time.

This obviously depends on the reason it was refurbished, but I would expect that most refurb cameras are warranty returns that have been fixed of whatever the warranty problem was. Since the repair would replace the failed part, it would be fair to say that they are at least as good as the original one (and if it's a "common problem part" then it's even likely that a new, better part has replaced the faulty part, which would make it BETTER than the original one).
And obviously, with consideration for the reputation of the company, I would expect that Nikon doesn't sell refurbished cameras that have any notable faults (scrapes, scratches, dust, etc) - if the damage isn't in an easy to replace part, the camera is probably used for scrap parts for other repair projects, or just destroyed.
Of course, I would check what the terms and conditions for returns, refunds and warranty is - are you paying less because you get less warranty, or simply because it has 10 or 100 exposures on the "clock", or because you get less warranty or other rights to complain?
