Hi,
I have become a PR in year 2004. Here is my experience.
Pulled my vehicle aside well ahead of the toll gate.
(I knew if i cross that toll that means i left USA.)
Informed cop/securitythat i am leaving USA for good and need to resturn I-94 to CBP. He asked me to park near the Duty free store and showed me an entrance for CBP.
CBP offcier asked the following things.
1. Where are you going ?
A. Landing to become canadian PR.
2. Will you come back ?
A. No. I will reside in Canada.
3. Give me your passport.
A. Gave him the passport (He looked at PR Visa)
4. Note down this I-94 number. For some reason if you decide to come back in less than 30days, make sure you give this number to CBP here if you dont get USA visa stamped in the passport.
Went to the canada immigration. They stamped in the passport as
" LANDED IMMIGRANT AS OF 11/24/2004 ". Asked me to show the title of the car on my name (They verified that i dont have any loan pending on it).
Asked about goods to follow. I told them. I am not going to bring any thing, i will buy in canada. They asked for proof of funds. I showed bank letter and some certified checks. Thats it.
Every border has CBP. Their building will be facing to wards Canada as their main work is checking the incoming traffic. How ever its our responsibility that we reach them and submit I-94.
WELCOME TO CANADA. WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK.

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.
If you really want to maintain your PD, you can go for CP while studying. After school finishes, if need be, you can always come back on H1 again before your GC is complete. This way you will have both options Europe and USA !!

3 options
1) file H1 on Apr 1st and if H4 is not approved by then withdraw pending H4
2) file H1 on Apr 1st before the current H4 expires and hope that H4 is approved before H1. H1 should be approved after H4 to have the H1 status. If H4 is approved later, H1 status will be lost
3) Request PP of extension and 99.9% of time 539 is approved along with 129.
I will add more info as I find.

The question is incorrect.
It should be, "How many of you have children that are non-US citizens?"
Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..

Yes Years 2001-2002 Were Worst years i have seen.
From 2003 Market is picked up very well.
Lets see what is in store for us in 2008.
According to OH Law:
In the election year, pro-immigration political platform constitutes a political liability as witnessed in the current national presidential debates, which turns the country into a strong anti-immigration environment. Consequently, the immigrants will continuously suffer from the seriously broken immigration system. Under the circumstances, people seek the administrative solutions and relief by the immigration-related agencies. However, the hostile political environment tends to work against such decisions for the government agencies as any pro-immigration administration policy may be considered a political liability for the ruling party. It is indeed a difficult time for immigrants. The USCIS has announced that it was working on issuing a multi-year single document for employment authorization and advance parole, but it is considered not necessarily for the immigrants, but as we discussed earlier, it was a calculated decision for the government finance. The current leadership of the immigration-related government agencies are lame-ducks and immigrants may not be able to expect too much any pro-immigrant moves at the administration-level because of the political pressure from the ruling party.
What is coming ahead? Economic recession and potential massive layoffs and lack of job opportunities for foreign workers. The changing landscape for the employment cannot come in any worse time when the immigrant visa numbers are heavily oversubscribed and clogged, forcing the foreign workers to take a long journey in the hostile employment environment. As the situation moves into steeper economic recession, the foreign workers tend to face not only a risk of layoff but also abuse by some employers who attemp to take advantage of the harsh environment against the foreign worker job markets. These foreign workers should prepare themselves for a difficult time ahead.
For those who are in 485 track, management of AC 21 portability will turn out to be a saviror and constitute an important task. Less fortunate are those who suffer from the visa number rectrogress and are unable to even file I-485 applications. For these immigrant workers, loss of jobs will practically wipe out the immigration opportunity. The longer the visa retrogression period lasts, the harshier their journeys will be. What about those new foreign workers who have yet to look for a job and start the immigration journey from the scratch?
Under the circumstances, all one can hope for is a short-lived economic recession and a turn-around of the country's political landscape in favor of immigration.
Year 2008 may be recorded one of the harshiest years for foreign workers. Immigrant workers, be prepared!

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.
A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!
It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.
Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.
I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand *
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.
I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.
My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.
I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.
- Peace
ps:
Another point I would like to add is that no other organization has the kind of reach and the credibility with USCIS as IV has as far as representing the true interests of the Immigrant Community goes. IV is a huge asset we have and we should work towards strenthening it.

For them there are strict check at airports.
Hope so, but the cases of AP being refused entry are extremely rare. You'll have a hard time finding them on forums. while 80% of consulting company H1bs may get 221g, it could be less than 1% of AP holders who face issues.

1) Sep 16 2007 to Apr 2008 is > 6months so you cannot apply for 797
renewal to get a new i94 indirectly.
2) Currently your status is H1 , if you use AP then ur status will becom Parolee and if you use EAD then "???"
I think of these solutions...
1) Exit and Enter the country to match with your 797 dates.
or
2) Talk to your employer ,find a temporary employer to switch your h1 and switch back to your current employer. ( do premium if necessary ).

The potential for misuse is too much. So I only support GC for someone with a PhD, even though I have a Masters.
Even with that potential for misuse will be very high...you will see people doing "PhD" in bottom of the barrel university ranking places. In fact professors who give easy PhD in easy university will be in hot demand. Nowdays people try to do good PhD in good university as it helps in getting a good faculty position eventually...this will bringa whole new dimension to why people will do a PhD in US. 3 year PhD like in UK will get prevalant in US.

Is it too much to ask Google to put a Diwali logo like it does for Hanukkah or Christmas .. at least if not in google.com but in google.co.in?
Also is it too much to expect American mainstream media to totally NOT ignore Diwali which has significance for the second largest population in the world and instead publish significantly less significant story of the balloon boy?
Is it too much to ask for to include Diwali in the spell check for this editor? (Not wailing or Gwalior ...)
It is this mentality of deliberately ignoring the feeling of majority of the world population that is getting the western civilization more and more isolated and retracted.
Well it doesn't really matter. And I am visiting India now and I can see that this country and China will definitely kick ass of Western civilization .. as it is already doing. The people here are hungry for more and in spite of seemingly unsurmountable problems it will succeed and once again India will be the "Sone Ke Chiriya".
With this thoughts and wishing peace .. happy and prosperous diwali to everyone.
May Lord Rama bless the world.
