Sorry, if this seems off-topic.
I'm on H1B visa and my wife is on H4 visa. We file our taxes as a joint return. My wife is currently studying for MS. She has received in-state tuition fees. We received 1098-T from the university. I'm thiking about getting a lifetime learning credit which will reduce my tax bill. My questions are:
* Are people on H1/H4 allowed to take lifetime learning credit for graduate studies?
* Will this have any negative effect on our greencard in the future?
Thanks.
We have used it. I don't see any negative effects to green card. You are resident for tax purposes.

Maybe your lawyer should jump into the well or go back to school ;)
She is probably already going to school (a paralegal) :)

If issue arises with I485 while i EAD, that would a big headache of replying RFE or opening MTR etc in timely fashion. EAD/AP stand cancelled if 485 is denied.

1 year from now, only EB3-Indians with PDs of 2001-2006 will hang on the IV website. Everybody else(or atleast 99%) will be gone...
We will need help renewing our EADs and AP each year forever...and will seek answers on wague rules and regulations USCIS/DHS will keep putting in

My lawyer also says the same. I'm also in similar condition where company is applying for 1 1140's.
Regd experience, I dont know if USCIS calls an employer.

I have a old EB3 PD Sept 2003 with Company A , and a new EB2 and I140 approved from Company B.
Can I ask my old company to file for I140 so that I may use the Old PD.
How can I bear the expenses of the USCIS and attorney's fees, given I am not working at company A.
Any clues would help.
I guess the old labor will be invalid by now as it has been already been over 45 after approval.
Ask a lawyer, because due to this labor substitution rule now you might have a problem. (" A GOOD LAWYER IS A SOLUTION HERE")
What do you mean by how can you bear the expenses. What a ?
Do what your company A is asking. I don't think that company A would file it for free.
Give it out of your pocket, that is how you bear it, work at a gas station, 7 eleven if you have to make more money to give him

Could this be a support? If US does not retain techies, US employer goes overseas.
From the article:
IBM's business in India grew 61 percent in the first quarter compared to a year earlier, the firm's highest growth rate among emerging economies. India's $15-billion domestic market for services and hardware is expanding at about 25 percent a year.
This, coupled with a global reputation for developing software cheaply, encouraged IBM to hire 15,500 staff in India last year even as it shed roughly 10,000 in Europe.

If I'm not mistaken, the 485 processing times for TSC are much shorter compared to NSC. My case is at the VSC which is still doing 06 applications. Is there a particular reason behind this or is it just the sheer number of applications that VSC receives?
I was just looking at your PD (Jan 08 - Eb2 - India) and was wondering how were you able to apply your I-485. Any political source? :D

US-India visa row overshadows Doha talks
By Alan Beattie in London and Jo Johnson in New Delhi
Published: May 17 2007 17:52 | Last updated: May 18 2007 03:23
Tentative signs of progress among the four core negotiating partners in the so-called �Doha round� of world trade talks have been overshadowed by a row over US visas given to Indian information technology workers.
Two days of negotiations between the US, the EU, India and Brazil began in Brussels on Thursday, as officials said talks had accelerated from the sluggish pace they have shown for most of this year.
But Kamal Nath, Indian trade minister, warned that US reluctance to allow Indian IT workers to enter the US on highly skilled �H1-B� visas jeopardised progress. Seeking to shift the emphasis away from India�s intransigence about exposing its farmers to international competition, Mr Nath said a failure to increase the H1-B quota would deny India the export gains it needed to make a deal.
Echoing language often used by the EU and the US, he told the FT on Wednesday: �We agree that the talks cannot move forward with agriculture alone. Our services interests must be satisfied for progress to be made.�
Delhi reacted angrily this week to a letter sent to Indian IT companies by two US senators, alleging fraud and abuse in the H1-B programme. Charles Grassley and Richard Durbin, members of the Senate subcommittee on immigration, said the visas were being used to undercut US workers with lower-paid foreign employees.
In a letter to Susan Schwab, US trade representative, seen by the FT, Mr Nath said that the approach, which was not made through the office of the US trade representative, was surprising and unwelcome.
�Such direct intervention by US senators would only create uncertainties in the minds of these companies and undermine business confidence, especially in the current negotiations on services,� the letter said.
So great is demand for H1B visas from Indian IT companies that this year�s quota of 65,000 was filled in a day. An Indian commerce ministry official said on Thursday that India wanted the annual cap lifted to 115,000.
A USTR spokesperson on Thursday declined to comment on either the senators� letter or the negotiations over visas in the Doha round.
Officials and ministers expressed some guarded optimism ahead of this week�s meetings of the four negotiating partners, though remained non-committal about the substance of talks. Ms Schwab said that some issues, including access to the agricultural markets of developing countries, a key demand of the US, had further to go than others.
The rest of the World Trade Organisation membership, among whom frustration with the �group of four� has been rising, has been trying to increase pressure on them to make the trade-offs necessary to achieve a framework agreement before the traditional WTO summer break in August. �They are moving, but whether they are moving fast enough is another question,� a trade official said.
Crawford Falconer, the New Zealand ambassador who chairs the farm talks, last week released the first of two papers setting out the terms for a possible deal.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understand that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California

Hi sreedhar,
I am a July 2nd filer, after a long long wait, finally got my checks cleared on Oct 11, 2007, my lawyer received the I-765 and FP notices on 10/19, but not the I-485 receipt. Receipt date is 8/14, different A#s, Not able to check status online. Seems I am the lucky one got experience of all kinds of problems that July 2nd filer encountered.
Most importantly, without the physical I-485 receipt, I am not able to apply for AP... I am very worry about if the I-485 receipt was lost in mail.

My H1-B extension was filed on June 3 2010 requesting for additional 3 years (after the 1st 6 yrs). My labor and I-140 were also approved. The case has been pending since then. It has been more than 5 months now. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar delays? My I-797 has expired in September and I'm still working on the basis of the pending application.
Thanks in advance.
Which center did you apply to? I had applied to VSC for my H1 renewal under regular processing (9-12th year) RD Aug 5, 2010. The case is yet under initial review.
Secondly, I have also applied for H1 transfer with CSC RD Oct 27, 2010 again under regular processing. The case is under initial review.
I have heard H1 extensions & transfers are taking anywhere between 4 to 6 months.

Hi all,
This forum is full of smart people. So I want to throw my situation out there to get some advice from all of you. I am into 7th year of my H1 with by labor with PD of Sep 2002. At the rate things are moving, I am running out of patience here.
Things took an interesting turn last week, when a mid sized Software co. is willing to outsource me some of their work. Given the size of the opportunity, I will need to go to India to setup a team of 5 to 6 ppl. The co. is pretty eager and willing to offer some of the finanical guarantees I have asked for.
So my question is, should I take this opportunity and say good bye to GC? Or I should be patient as there may be a need to be in US to grow my outsourcing biz, in case it jump starts well. What would you do if you were presented this opportunity and you had the enterpreurial spirits to pull it off.
I would be eager to see what people say here.
Guess the smart people here are going to say: go back and reduce the queue. Just kidding:)

USCIS do call the company, a friend of mine who already got his GC, USCIS called the company in India to confirm the employment.
Thanks IndianIII - It is always possible that USCIS may check the employment details and in this particular case, since the company is closed, they would want alternate proof that you did work there. They might want an affidavit from your co-worker if possible as well. So, be prepared on those grounds.
Thanks once again IndianIII for contributing to the forums.

Is this good or bad? We dont have even one single person with negative attitude. At least that is good.
I filed my 485, I am not going to gain anything from IVs efforts now 0 0%
I want to be a free rider and want others to pay for my cause 0 0%
I hate these immigrants and H1B workers on this website and will not contribute 0 0%
Interesting poll. I have a small suggestion, though.. If you want unbiased data, you cannot ask leading questions on any survey. For instance, if you ask "Are you a free-rider?", and you are clearly conveying what is the "right" answer.
Ask very neutral questions on the poll. Also, make it anonymous to encourage participation. Pare down questions so that they are distinct and mutually exclusive.
At least that way you'll get better data to work with for analysis.
