income tax clearance certificate (India)
Hello Folks,
Is an "income tax clearance certificate" from Income Tax Dept.
required for FTJ spouses who are leaving India with an immigrant visa?
My spouse has never been employed before.
The reason I have this question, is because my travel agent sent an email
saying all people with immigrant visas should have this.
thanks,

hi all.
I just got married to a us citizen. i am ready to send my files, but i was wondering if I need to send the form for work permit. I am on H1-B. I think I will be working on the same job 2.5 more years. by then I may get my green card, and so i would not have to pay for the work permit?? is this right?
thanks

Disappointment with the VB
Yes you are right. The date for EB3 worldwide didnt move a single day. India moved by a month. EB2 moves by 6 months. This means that they have high demand of the visa numbers (if this is not any game plan). But we dont see any approvals at all in the forums and elsewhere.
If the 245(i) cases are that much then we will see the visa numbers will become unavailable in the next couple of months. If it goes unavailable then we are totally doomed for the next 2-3 years provided there is not new law.
Its really a great pain that they are dealing the legals and illegals within the same category and they dont know the difference.
How can we raise our voices to be heard that we are in great pain just because of this retrogression. Waiting for one VB to the other and loosing and building hopes.
Dont really know what we should do.
Good Luck to all.

Married in 2005.
I-485, TSC, Approved - 03/04/2006
Passport Stamped via Infopass - 03/10/2006
Lady was nice, i just showed them a print out of my email notification for approval.
Card arrived in the mail, next day - 03/14/2006
NOT GOOD!!!! since my wife is in Chennai.
We couldn't file her I-485 cuz my PD wasn't current since June, last year.
I wasn't expecting my I-485 to be approved while my PD is not current!! somebody jumped the gun.
Do i need to file for I-824 or can i just send a letter to the Chennai consulate along with copies of a check list of documents and request for a case number and an interview??
Pls. advise any steps or tips that will help me to be proactive and avoid red tape.
after talking to 4 different lawyers here are my options
1) Walk into any US consulate in Canada or Mexico and request for 'Visas Omega Cable' to Chennai (This will bypass I-824 process!!) Anyone familiar with this??
2) File for I-824 for FTJ. 2 extra months of processing!!
3) Send a mail to Chennai with all the documents and a cover letter, requesting to initiate a FTJ process. Is this allowed for Chennai??
4) Get the I-485 approval rescinded via an Infopass appointment and regain H1B status which will put my wife back in H4 status. Risky??
5) Should i hire an attorney for these two steps?? FTJ and GC Approval date correction??
Pls. help me validate my options.
UNITEDNATIONS !! i got your handle name from a good friend, he suggested that i call out to you and all other wise-guys on this forum.
Thank you

What can I say except lets all go to www.expatsvocie.org and join, hopefully make a difference if we all stick together
I cannot beleive the consulate now say I have to start my sons case all over again.
Apparentley the service centre is now working on cases recevied in 1996 so could be another 10 years which is absolutley ridiculous
