So I have gotten my GC. I have an apt in my home country that has been sitting empty. I plan to go back and sell it and transfer the proceeds to US for a down payment. What are the tax implications? I had the apt before landing in US. The $ value is probably the same, but that would be very...

I couldn't find the answer through search, so if anybody knows anything it would be appreciated. Posting for a friend who lives in Europe; does not need a visa to visit with European passport, but wants to have Green card petition through citizen relative. I know this normally would break the...

So I had sent a letter to the First Lady couple of months ago to ask for assistance with namecheck; that is after the senator and congressmen were not helpful. Today I got a long winded letter from FBI stating why the FOIPA results I attached is different from Namecheck and that they are...

Well, it seems some of us have missed the boat for now and have to wait until October. I have not been following this retrogression issue closely before, esp since I am from ROW. Now anybody has any guesses what would happen in Oct with the categories and how will we be affected by the surge of...

We filed I-485 in october '06, FP for me and spouse done one week later. FP bio code 2 done this weekend for kid. Now today we received two notices for bio code 3 for me and my wife. Anyone has had similar experience? Any thoughts?

I have been told that some have got email notification of successful DV application this year. I didn't get any myself. Anybody else getting an email when you submit a GC lottery application this year?

So I am somewhat new to this I-485 business. I am in the rest of the world EB2 category. Now if after I file the category has retrogression what would happen to my application? Also when a category has retrogression is there a way to know how bad it is going to be. I mean would we be going...

I am in training and will finish by the end of June. So technically I will meet the requirements of my new job on July. For filing PERM should my employer start the recruitment after July, or they can do it before that and then file after July. In other word do I need to meet the job...

I filed for H1b premium processing. When I check the number online it say it take 90-120 days to process. Shouldn't it say 15 days? Anybody with similar experience?

Any guesses on how long this years cap will last. I know it is a crap shoot but I have seen lots of IT people on this forum with excel spreadsheets on everything and am sure they can have a general idea. Reason I am asking is tension running high while waiting to file for transfer from exempt...

I will need H1 transfer soon. Apparently the law requires that employment be AT a non-profit/educational institute for cap exemption. I have heard people make a distinction between employed AT and employed BY and be exempted from cap. Is this true? (the example would be a private practice that...

I am on H1B and in the process of transferring it due to job change. The I-94s are still valid for another year, both for the H1 and wife's H4. Do I have to transfer the H4 now concurrent with the H1 or in a year when the H4 I-94 expires?

Has anybody had any experience re H1B and Perm with this law firm, good or bad? Any other recommendations? http://www.mdgreencard.com/

I have read somewhere (I can't remember where!) that if you are working for a private practice, but the hospital that you work in is non-profit and affiliated with an institute of higher education then your H visa is cap exempt. Can anyone of you gurus verify this? If yes, what kind of...

I have posted this problem before with some responses, but this is the new twist to it. I am on cap exempt H1 for training and joining a job that is subject to cap. I was told that the 3 month gap from july to Oct is usually forgiven by INS and they approve the visa for July start date, and if...

I want to thank everybody for keeping this a useful forum. Then I have to mention that I tried using the search but can't find my answer, maybe I need more "training". I am in the process of job hunting while in my last year of fellowship, IM subspecialty. Now I am looking for the prevailing...

I haven't received any responses from the physician's forum, so I am reposting with the hope that someone will shed light on this. I am in training on H1-B visa and traning will be over June of '06. I am interviewing for jobs, all are nonteaching, so subject to cap and my original H was exempt...

I am in training on H1-B visa and traning will be over June of '06. I am interviewing for jobs, all are nonteaching, so subject to cap and my original H was exempt. It seems I would not be able to start work until Oct of '06, or would INS just approve without paying much attention? Since I think...

I am on H1, cap exempt that will end on June of 2006 and I have to transfer to cap subject H1, so I will have a gap of 3 mths. Now my wife has to study for GRE (no really) and I am going to babysit during the 3mths, so was thinking of switching her to F1 and me to F2. Only catch is the "intent...
