There are several studies but this recent one I found was interesting and I recently posted about this as well.
This is from the 2010 Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Check out page 12/13 -
An interesting 2000 study showed that a selective immigration policy that admitted 1.6 million high-skilled immigrants age 40�44 years old annually into a hypothetical U.S.-style economy with a 50 percent debt-to-GDP ratio would have balanced the budget within five years and eventually eliminated the national debt.

hmm..
looks like I might be able to claim my parents
they are here since july last week..so around 160 days this year and were here last year for 3 months, so one-thirs of that is 30
so have a total of 190 (which is more than 183)
Substantial Presence Test (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=96352,00.html)
Does this have an impct on the GC though ?
I mean, I see that is a prefectly legal thing to do but does USCIS have a problem with that....

I totlaly agree with this. I am single too with PD DEC 2006. I have been in present job for almost 4 years. I ended up working for a non-profit oragnization on a non-cap H1b, which prevents me from transfering to private companies which need caped h1b( i din't knew about this when I took up the non-profit organization job). The only way for me to get into private company is to get a new H1b under cap which starts from Oct 2008. This time I planned properly and got an H1b approved. But to my shock and surprise EB2 dates moved to June 2006. I am now carefully watching the September EB2 dates. If it gets closer to Dec..I need to pull back the 485 as I don't think I can get marreid within 6 months due to family responsibality back home. If I withdraw my 485 application, I will lose the queue, money and since I plan to change job, the only benift I will be taking with me , is the PD date which I can later transfer if my next empyer does my GC. With a 2.5 year h1b left, I am hoping under worst situation, my next emplyer will sponcer my GC. This whole GC process is a pain in ***...!!!!

You may be right in saying that people should be united, but you cannot and should not FORCE them to be. Censoring threads that you think go against the 'united' theme would be just wrong and would hurt IV more than it would help it.

Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.

If you put the IOs into situation where they can potentially make mistakes...
more often then not, they will make a mistake. Then you have to pay the USCIS to fix their own mistake by filing MTR. Not to mention unnecessary stress... That being said, everybody has different risk tolerance.

Well H1B can bring their spouse using H4 .. so I guess GC holder can not bring their spouse .. I guess this is a hole in the system.
H1-H1 couple can support status of each other (H1-H4 or H4-H1)
H1-F1 couple can support each other (H1-H4 or F1-F2)
But
GC guy can't support status if H1 spouse lost job and became out of status
GC guy can't support status if F1 spouse becames out of status
GC guy can't bring spouse from home country
UNLESS SPOUSE/Kids goes through complete F2A visa process (several years)
It can make life of GC spouse miserable (of course GC guy also). Imagine GC-H1 marriage, H1 out of status after loss of job. After loss of status, H1 spouse has to return, but GC spouse will try to remain in USA for own status and in hope to bring spouse back after getting citizenship.

I now applied for EAD for my wife (not because she is going to work, just go get SSN). I do plan to get SSN for her and then file amended 2008 return. I wonder if I will get stimulas package then (the one which was given in 2008)?

Sometimes I think that rather than writing to these politicians ,we should write to USCIS.This retrogression is caused by them.They didn't wait for any bill to be passed for this retrogression.There is no use of talking to politicians,they don't care.
I know that USCIS will not care either but USCIS did it out of nowhere ,till sep2005,everything was fine for them and suddenly in oct 2005,they put us in backward direction.Now after a year and a half ,we are at the same spot,waiting for the visa bulletin and staying depressed for a day or two after seeing it.
I don't know .I am so mad at everybody.
Sorry for the ranting.
Btw,i have already sent emails to USCIS and chicago tribune regarding this .

Same here. Company attorney mailed 3 year H1/H4 extension today. Hopefully, I will get H4 approval and I-94 before April 1st. If not, I will pray for the H1 cap increase. And if not, I will apply for H1 later this year under Masters quota.
I heard you dont have to have masters requirement in the actual job offer to take advantage of Masters quota. Is that true?
Well, I am gonna give it a shot by going for PP and hope the H4 extension is approved as well along with 129. I will do that only if H1 cannot be filed for when a H4 application is pending. I am gonna check with some attorneys and will decide. The only catch is if you dont spend 2K or some thing you might lose 50/60K until oct 08 and time is of essence. Who wants to sit idle for so long?
H1B cap of 20K is for students with Masters Degree. If you have Masters Degree, you can file for H1 which will count against that cap. It has got nothing to do with job requirement.

Think about this , Your citizen kid can sponsor you when he/she attain 18.
So who ever planning to have one , start implementing , and parent of 10 month old just wait for 17 yr 2 months.

Thanks all for the various responses. However, Immique, what kind of RFE can be expected @ 485 stage?
Also, I have moved to Biz Dev from an engineer after my Labor. I now have my 140 and EAD. Is there any risk because of my change in role?
Get an employment verification letter from your HR, if it says Business Development Dude, and gives your new role as a guy who sells rather and codes, then you have a problem -- that is if USCIS gives you an RFE.

I think ppl who have masters or above from accredited US university shouldn't have any visa restriction; meaning they shouldn't be counted towards their country quota. No cap for Masters from US University -:)
P.S. I don't have masters from US.

Your interpretation of the question is incorrect :p:p
I am sure about your answer though...:)
Q: Does everyone get fingerprinting notice?
A: No. Only those who apply for AOS. :)
