did any one receive a rebate check like this?
Gurus,
I applied for tax return with my cousin as dependent. I am H1B on a project working for MNC, spouse in H4 and my cousin is doing his MS on F1. Since my wife has only ITIN, my understanding is that there is NO stimulus payment for me and my cousin will loose his $300 as he is claimed as dependent. last week, my cousin got a letter from dept of treasury that his stimulus payment is on the way and sure enough, couple of days later, a check for $300 is waiting for him.
Is this normal that a person with a SSN who filed his return as dependent get stimulus benefit? just checking if anyone else got one like this.. does this mean I can expect $300 for myself being on H1B with SSN also?
thanks for any suggestions..

I am not sure why we are focusing so much on the negatives of Plano meeting. There were so many new members for this meeting. I am not sure why nobody is focusing on this positive outcome.

My wife was on H4 before and since Oct 2007 she started working on H1. Since we haven�t had a chance to go to our home country, her H1 is not yet stamped. She is thinking of switching to some other company. Can she transfer her H1 without having a stamp?

Vldrao has all the information anyway, we should pay him 5000 dollars. At least he will have a nice time with 5k. What's the point giving it to the worst possible office in the whole United State of Great America?
Few months ago, Loo Doggs also asked USCIS for similar information. USCIS asked CNN to pay 10k for that. Loo Doggs was mad and his red neck viewers were amused.

Guys:
Money is not the issue here....if needed I could contribute too....
However, if we take all these letters to the press..and have them run the show for us....also by keeping the confidentiality of the individual....Guys one letter from the guy who was fired from Microsoft made news all across cnn, yahoo and everywhere.....Let the press of US do the job for us....they will make USCIS accountanble. I lilke the idea about taking to the President or Sec of State....actually, if we take to the local Senator...that will be good enough....all these guys are always looking for spice reports like this to make things happen...Hopefully this will bring more transparency from USCIS and they will be forced to report status to the Govt, by which we will also see what we need to see.....

They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.
I never imagined that the journey to GC would be such hard, and I have to give my whole life following these notices and EADs and what not. USCIS cannot approve my GC for years and years but now abrubptly they approved my EAD in less than 15 days, when I was expecting to get 2 years extension. My EAD app. was sent out on june 9th and my lawyer told me that they saw approval from yesterday 6/26 (wow 16 days including shipping!!!). USCIS always has hidden agenda, and everybody can tell that it is just money, which leads to such decisions. No body would forget last years july fiasco when they hushed up GC visa numbers for rendering people not to apply before fee hike. The present EAD issues everyone is reporting here is another fiasco. I wonder if there would be barrage of lawsuits for EAD fiasco as we saw last year for july fiasco. Now I understand why USCIS gave themselves time till 30th june, otherwise why wouldn't they make 2 year EADs effective right from the day of announcement in early week of june. Smart move!
Oh well this is what we have to face till we get that "Gone Card"! Day by day my patience is losing. Is it worth all this trouble?

Sorry guys, I was in India for the last 2 months...family issues..etc...but congrats on a successful rally, I notice people are talking of another rally, here are my 2 cents :
1) Although the rally made news, the fact that ONLY 1000 people attended is not enuff for national coverage and common man- news.
2) A second rally should not just be one rally, it should be a rally across the country, every state, city, street. Fix up one date and one time where everybody in each state/city can meet, if you live in falls church and have a volunteer to organize the meeting, meet up there with some slogans, if u can do it downtown NY with even 100 people, thats great..but it all has to be co-ordinated, just think of the impact if at 2PM EST, 11AM PST and 12PM CST on one particular day... every legal immigrant worker is on a rally and this gets publicized..i know it sounds far fetched...but little wonder, the illegals all gathered up in large numbers and were able to get legal in 2003-2004....can we educated folk learn something there ?? i can volunteer for my area (west coast, southern california)..any takers ?

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
Yes, I understand that most countries use nowhere near 9800 per year - its was a hypothetical answer in response to the OPs question.
I still think your estimation that EB3 ROW becoming current in 2 years is on the optimistic side - especially with no change in legislation.

I think the issue of Economic Stimulus Package and H-4 dependents is losing the momentum. Where is everyone????
I agree ---- I think the momentum is slowing down...
at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!

Buddy...take it easy on yourself. I can feel your pain, waiting for almost 10 yrs now...still no sign that this wait will end anytime soon.
But rather than blaming the system and whining, i keep myself content with the fact that no one is forcing me to stay in this country- it's my own choice that i want to continue taking their bullsh*t.
be happy u got ur EAD - 50 days since i applied...still no sign.

Yes, I would agree this is good news. BUsh has already protected himself from War Crimes by passing the Torture Bill....now he wants to make sure Dems do not start setting up committees on Iraq war, tax cuts etc...he will basically protect himself now for the 2 yrs left in office.
There is talk that Bush wants to do something GREAT before his term ends; and that he would not like to be called a War PResident, I think Bush does not have teh Vision, Leadership or Intellegence to think that far out. He will think short term about protecting his turf, and it is upto the Democrats to put forth the Immigration Legislation on the table - which IV needs to push for in the new congress.

Please stays away from Syed H Simin PC law firm. They don't answer calls, the receptionist or the front desk phone operator is very rude. Most of them who answer phone calls have a heavy accent , don't know the current immigration procedures or law but still they try to answer your questions. Most of the time they put your call on hold for 15+ mins and hang up on you. Very frustating and totally unprofessional. I wouldn't want to hire them even if they provide service at no charge.
Only 3 people in this firm know how to talk politely and answer your question properly, and they are the actual attorneys. The rest of them in the law office think that they are the DOS chief :) You won't find such kind of people even in a 99c store :D

I was 100% determined in the beginning to attend the rally, but could not for the following reasons.
1> I was in Dallas and family in SoCal for last 9 months(from Dec 2006 to be precise). I used to meet my family every other weekend. Was trying very hard to find a project in Socal, and finally I got one where joining date was Spet 13th. I could not dare to ask for leave in the very first week. To tell you the truth it took so long b'cos of H1 status, everybody wants me to transfer my H1 or they are looking only for GC/EAD holders. Hoping to get EAD soon.
2> My husband was planning to attend but somewhere in Aug last week we got FP notices and date is Sept 18th. The FP letter clearly mentioned that postponing might cause delays so we decided that he also has to drop the idea.
Of course we contributed towards the rally.
I am very proud to be part of such excellent grass root organization and now since I am in Irvine I can be active in Socal chapter.
Also we are eager to join in the next rally and have total faith in IV leadership.

On that note, it's time this choked pipeline is cleaned up.
Every year, people are wasting more & more paper as they file, interfile, or renew applications;)
