Should it not be OK to work for an Indian company (work from home - remote office)
as long as person on H4 is NOT displacing an American Worker by any means? I am curious to know.
Thanks,
Krishna

Dear Friends, my 140 just got approved at TSC (EB3-India, PD Feb 03, 140/485 filed in July 07). Given the current economic turmoil, my company may lay off people. I have a valid EAD till Oct 09. God forbid, if I can't find another job here after my layoff, is it legal to go to my home country (i.e., India) for a few months and then come back before Oct 09 to renew my EAD? Assuming the USCIS doesn't adjudicate my 485 while I'm away, could I have any problems at the port of entry (since I would be using Advance Parole but wouldn't have a job)?
Thanks.

if you go back to your home country without a job, and you get an RFE for an employment verification letter, how are you going to respond to that?
Also note that earlier most RFEs had a response time of 12 weeks, starting from a few months ago the IO has the discretion to choose the response time. So for something like an EVL (which he would assume you can provide within a few days) you might only have a response time of 4 weeks... Also, its not necesasry that you get the RFE only when your PD is current, USCIS is continuing to process cases, and you can get an RFE even if your date is not current...
As some posters have mentioned, travel on AP has also troublesome for some people. No one that I know of has been denied entry, but IOs at some port-of-entries have insisted that travel on AP should be only for emergencies. Again, its just harassment due to unclear policies, no one that I know of has been denied entry.
Thanks.

I think you deserve green.
See this news, a muslim filed a criminal compliant on the Beedi company but the court ruled out the case.
Ganesh trademark on beedi pouches is okay, rules HC (http://www.expressindia.com/news/ie/daily/19990913/ige13087.html)
Don't we have a popular Beedi( a type of cigarette ) in India with the image of Lord Ganesh on its cover . It is very very popular beedi brand in Karnataka . Is this allowed , I never saw any backlash against this in India itself . Strange that this kind of backlash happens more in the west than India.

You could either file AC21 or file after you revceive RFE, but when there is RFE they may also request paystubs, not just offer letter.

All,
Background:
EB-2 India
Employment based petition
PD: Feb 2003
Labor approved (after a long wait at Backlog reduction Ctr)
I-140 filed
Waiting for PD to be current to be eligible to file I-485
To avoid further delays and have the necessary paperwork on-hand ready to file I-485 petition when PD becomes current, I had the following questions for the folks on this forum who have filed I-485 or are knowledgeable about the paperwork requirements:
1) Birth Certificate: I have my original birth certificate but it is not in English.
a. I have a translated notarized version in English from India. Will this suffice?
b. If not, can a birth certificate issued by the Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is this birth certificate required for spouse too if her name is added to I-485 petition?
2) Police clearance: I know that one has to go thru the FBI name check for US clearance and this is done by processing center after filing of I-485 petition.
a. Do I need to have a police clearance from India?
b. If so, can a Police clearance certificate from Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is police clearance certificate required for spouse if her name is added to I-485 petition?
3) Medical: I have the list of approved Doctor’s in my geographical area. However, I do not have my inoculation records. Hence, I believe the Doctor will administer the shots again.
a. How long does the approved Dr. to finalize the tests and administer the shots? Is this a 1 day or week(s) process before the Dr. hands over the sealed medical forms back?
b. How long is the medical test valid? (Is it valid for 1 month, 6 months etc)
4) Additional documentation: Is there any other documentation, not stated above, that has a long lead time that I can start to accumulate now?
Thanks in advance.
Folks, any one can help? I have same question regarding to Police cert.

Good point regarding export regulations. I dont have much idea in this scene.
Not exactly correct. Once, he left the US for a long period of time (except vacation) the employer should remove him from US payroll and terminate the H1B. This is the very legal way. If employer want to receive employee's service outside the US, the employer should "outsource" the work to him. In this case, both the employee and employer must follow export-import rules between two countris and pay appropirate tax in both countries.
After employee left the US, if employer continously keeps him in US payroll using his H1B authorization for work eligibility, and receives his service or work from abord; it is the violation of LCA work place. If USCIS knows that the employer will be in trouble.

Not from the bathtub. ;)
Post your experience with the call.
My experience was very pleasant! They did not say it in so many words, but it was clear that they appreciated my call. I urge all of you to call Senator Cornyn. This is a really good idea, unless the core thinks otherwise (I am really not sure what the core thinks about this). Their staff has not received too many calls from supporters like us is what I could make out (but I could be wrong).
And by the way, the call was made from just outside my office on a cell phone --- not from the bath tub this time :)

My NC is pending. And I am not getting the GC because of that. A lot of people with Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr 2006 are getting theirs and quite handful with 2003/2004 are stuck. What could be the reason for this inconsistency, obviously NC.

People who want to contribute money will always do. You may get a few people to donate because of the "Donor" status, but most I feel want to contribute because they care.
Please allow me to turn around that question and pose it back to you - so how do we keep and attract people to volunteer (for all the wonderful things that I mentioned in my post)?
All I am saying is that this approach could hurt more than it may help.
Yes...I respect the volunteer. But still we need money. What is the source for that. I am not saying that I am going to contribute everymonth. Whenever possible I am going to. Otherwise just keep going and not going to whine about that.
