Hello,
My wife got her H1B approved last year and her start date was 10/01/07. She started working towards the end of Nov. She did not get any paychecks for 2007 before Dec 31st and started getting paid only in 2008. So she did not receive a W2 for 2007. I am about to file my tax for 2007 (had filed an extension) and would like to know the following.
1: I assume this should not impact me from filing a joint return. Am I right ?
2: Would I qualify for the stimulus check for $1200 since both of us were employed in 2007 ? Since she did not get a W2, I was not sure if I would get only $600.
3: Both of us have filed for I-485 and our applications are pending approval. Would there be any problem with her I-485 in the future (like any query) since in 2007, her status was converted to H1B (from H4) and she did not get a W2 ? I am being told USCIS does a complete background check on the applicant with respect to each status he/she has had.
Thanks in advance.
First of all, do not confuse tax filing and immigration! These two are totally different ball games.
As far as tax filing goes, here is what i can tell (to the best of my knowledge):
1. Yes, you can file joint return. But for the purpose of the tax return, your wife will be considered "not working"; as she did not get W2 for 2007. (unless you have any other forms to show the income; e.g. 1099MISC etc).
2. Stimulus payment: I am not sure exactly how much you will get; just check with the tax-preparer (or the software, most softwares will tell you). But even for this purpose, your wife will be considered "not working" as she does not have any income to show.
3. Now your third question is related to immigration. Here is what I have to say:
Your wife was "out of status" during the time period that she was on H1 status but not being paid. While you are on H1 status, you are supposed to work for the sponsoring employer and employer is supposed to pay you the salary mentioned on the LCA. If both these conditions are not met, you are "out of status" (but still legally present in US).
Under section 245(K) USCIS will "forgive" upto 180 days of being "out of status"; so those days during which your wife did not get paid will count towards those days. Make sure that she did get paid full salary as mentioned on LCA from January 1 onwards; otherwise she will accure those days towards 180 days limit.
What can be done for this? three ways to straigten this up:
1. go outside US and return back with a new H1 visa stamp (those 180 days count from the day of latest legal entry); this wipes off all the days accured towards 245(k); risk is: what if the visa stamp is denied- because she was out of status.
2. File a complaint against the employer; it is employer's responsibility to pay her. This will sort of work towards your advantage if something comes up in future. (showing that you did all you could to not have this happen).
3. if total days that she was not paid or paid less than LCA is 180 days or less; you may decide to do "nothing" as you will be protected by 245 (k) and make sure not to accure any more days.
Good Luck.

Heard on CNN ...
Looks like the Vote to Limit the number of Debates (On Amendments) on CIR has failed.
The reporter stated that If the bill fails it will fail by Sundown today
before the eggs hatch
We need to wait for sundown. Looks like some backroom manuvering is going on.

There was a memo from USCIS for in-time receipt compliance for I-485 ( along with other forms) for 8/1 supposedly for June filers.
As I understand it, not all June filers got receipt yet. So obviously USCIS can start looking at July filers only after 8/1 or later.
Another recent memo says on in-time receipt compliance for I-485 to be 10/24. I am guessing it was meant for July/Aug filers.
So between 8/1 and 10/24, we are suposed receive the receipts from USCIS. To me, earliest we should talk about cashing the checks sometime is first week of Aug.
Does it make any sense ?

The processing times for I-140 applications in the TSC show no change since the last update. Are there any changes in the NSC processing times ?
I haven't been following the I-485 times for a while since my priority date (EB3/ Mar 2004) is not current and I'm more keen on the I-140 approval for now.

As far as i know PF is controlled by the central government, TCS will not have any say in you withdrawing your money. Generally there is an upto 15% match from the company in your account, and that is yours the moment it is deposited in your account. You should not have any problems withdrawing your money. Your money is yours. Some companies deposit PF monies quarterly, small companies deposit it annually, in those cases you might be screwed if you company did not deposit the money in your account.
Has anyone managed to withdraw money from TCS PF from Mumbai India?
If so, pls advise on the procedure for the same?
Thanks,

Hi Friends,
Please read the below query and post any information you have. Thanks in advance for your help !
I have an appointment for H1 VISA re-stamping in Toronto, Canada in 2nd week of October
My current H1 VISA is valid until Nov 2006.
I am planning to get restmped based on my new H1 petition valid until Sep 2008.
The problem here is that my passport is valid only until Dec 2007.
In this case Can I get the new VISA stamped until Sep 2008?
On the website it says that "To be eligible for a VISA, you passport must be valid for at least 6 months past intended stay in the United States"
Please post your valuable replies.
Regards,
Krishna.

Our Lawyer contacted National Service Center and got some inquiry number starts with WTCXXXXX and expecting a response in 45 days? Is this same as Service Request? Will this help? I already took infopass appointment and met an IO. The IO was saying both of my I-140s are in the same file as 485. But my question is how would they choose my application when USCIS did not port the priority?? Anybody in this situation please help!!

Have you used AC21?
What are the implications if for some wierd reason your I-485 gets denied and you dont have an H1-B to fall back upon?
Say you have an H1-B which is extended for 3 yrs( based on approved I-140) from now till 2011, in the year 2011 your I-485 file is opned and its not approved for some reason so will you get another 3 yr extension for H1-B ie till year 2014?
When you are switching employer with AC21 using H1B you can get a transfer to the new company for 3 years and get extensions from the new employer when that 3 year expires. So no worries... Enjoy

Obama did say that there might not be an appetite for it currently.......... However, making the bill a delicacy might bring back the appetite :D just kidding.....
Seriously, if other states follow Arizona, it becomes a pressing issue and whether Obama or Congress has the appetite or not, they have to learn to deal with it. Can't let the Arizona law go viral.
One of the biggest complaint that AZ is making is that the federal government is not addressing the border problem.........well, the federal govt has to wake up and start addressing immigration reform on the whole .......... as so many sections of the immigration system is broken.
In conclusion, the mood and environment sets the stage. We have one. Got to take advantage of it.

Logically, one cannot do a job when they are in H4 visa. But if you are keen on doing a business in H4 visa, check the county rules. I don't think some countys are strict on the status of immigration.

It is a rosy but somewhat risky idea to submit AOS and I-140 concurrently. If the I-140 is rejected, so is the AOS. Premium processing helps take the guesswork out of the game (but only for the first I-140 applied using original LC) as you quickly come to know the fate of your I-140.
Cannot predict anything but my hunch is PP will be back in Oct 2007 for I-140's.
And now if you found this commentary useful:) please submit your vote here, and please plan to attend the rally!

bluez25,
Dates moving back is a once in 10 year event (not a guess but actual stats).
The July fiasco type thing happening again is almost nil !
Give that interview and get the immigrant visa.. You are all set.
Tinku,
How can you be so sure that I should be ok even when the dates move back? any links for me to read on information...
