Isnt recording conversations without the consent illegal? :confused:
Found on the net:
The U.S. federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most have also extended the law to cover in-person conversations. 38 states and the D.C. permit recording telephone conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so.
12 states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.
It is illegal under all jurisdictions to record calls in which one is not a party.
A complete state-by-state set of regulations regarding telephone call recording may be obtained in the following report published by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press:

I don't live in the tri-state...
I have my W-2's from 99 and 00 so no need to call the University.
What I dont have is the actual return (1040nr) which I "mailed" at that time.
Who in the world makes copies of a tax form that was actually mailed. Oh, and kept it for 9 years!!!
For some reason, they picked on your case. This is really absurd that they are asking for 9 years old tax returns.
As some others have mentioned, I would recommend the same... consult with a good immigration attorney. Experienced immigration attorneys like Murthy, Rajiv Khanna or Matthew Oh probably have experience in dealing with these kind of situations. They should be able to give you better advice what to do.

As far as I know we HAVE NO STAND on the issue.
Our goal is simple, to seperate ourselves from "undocumented immigrants", we do not call it "illegal immigration" as per our initial IV discussions.
IV stands as an organization for Employment Based Legal Immigration and nothing BUT that. So, again, in short we HAVE no stand on "illegal immigration".

I will appreciate your comments on my situation. I also have approved I-140 from TX and my company may ask me to move to NY/NJ for another project.
I also have one LC from MN pending in DBEC. Can I move to NY or do I have to go thru the PERM again?
Help?

I wouldappreciate if any of you could shed light on the following scenario:
If485 i spending for over six months and someone switched the job using AC21 for a position which would require extended stay [upto 2-3 years] outside the US. Would it any way impact the GC process? Given that priority date is 2007, it is unlikely(?) that 485 would be adjusted in that time.
Thanks

The Civil Rights Division's Coordination and Review Section can handle individual complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and religion by State and local law enforcement agencies that receive financial assistance from the Department of Justice.
http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/cor/index.php
Most major city police departments receive grants from the DOJ.
Here is the Dept. of Justice website giving more information -
http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/split/complaints.php#Police
Don't try going to the department directly or filing a form directly. Not recommended as they will not be friendly.
Also contact your local community organization leaders and let them know about the incident.
It might be a good idea to setup a protocol or a process in place in the event something like this happens again. Memorize a contact number and educate your family members on what to do.
Here is more information on your rights if you are detained or arrested -
http://www.msba.org/departments/commpubl/publications/brochures/legalrights.htm
The above link is a compilation by the Maryland Bar Association but it is pretty close to what you can do and what you can't.
File a complaint over here - http://www.policeabuse.com/index.php?option=com_performs&formid=44 if you live in a small town/city. Its Free.
BTW, this is a very popular technique to evict a neighbor who is not wanted around. :) But then again, I might be speculating about your living situation.
I hope you did not commit an act of domestic violence.

Hi EveryOne,
I got my Green card in mail yesterday. I want to thank IV and everyone for all the support during this GC journey. I wish everyone all the best for their green card process. I wish everyone gets to file 485 irrespective of priority dates and ultimately get their green cards. This is a question to Admin, i have a recursive donation going on, I would like to make a one time donation and stop the recursive donation.
Thanks.

get real man... 655K is lot of applications
just by plain math these will be done in Five years. If you add name check and other stuff this may be even more.
Also this time is on the top of what we have already waited for till now.
When USCIS isnt even providing simple meaningful reports (seperate EB 485 numbers) working with these random statistics is total waste.
If this 655K number of AOS is true, then the number of pending EB AOS is NOT big.
The total number of pending AOS in June, right before the July VB fiasco, is 597K.
Because DOS controls FB cut off date pretty well, we don�t expect receiving spike and approving spike for FB cases in July VB fiasco. In another word, the number of FB received cases and the number of FB approved cases
should be about same.
EB pending cases in September only grows (655K-597K= 58K) compared with the number in June.
This 58K cases probably are evenly distributed from 2001 to 2007, roughly10K
every year.
So, we should see big jump in EB Visa bulletin, since there are no BEC, 245i excuses any more and all the cases are in the hand of USCIS.

I will tell your first hand, the path to becoming a doctor is TOUGH...
You will need a lot of brains to clear those USMLE exams
You will need a lot of money to appear for those USMLE exams/residency interviews
You will need a lot of patience since it takes a minimum of 2 years to be able to apply.
Here's what you do.
My wife was here in the US on a H4 the past 2 years while she did all her prep work/exams etc., but assuming your brother is in India.
1. Give USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 exams - they are conducted in India
Each one takes about 6 months of prep time and
shoot for a score in the upper 80s or preferably 90s - very
few people get such high scores..
2. Then one needs to get a B2 visa to appear for Step 3
Step 3 is only conducted in the US
(You WILL need the Step 3 cleared for H1 sponsorship)
Good luck getting that B2 - plenty of people are
denied this B2 in India - if you can't get this B2, that's
the end of the game.
3. Once you clear all the steps you need to apply through ERAS
for a nationwide match for residency.
4. Spend hoardes of money to travel to each hospital that
invites you to an interview.
5. Wait for the ERAS match results to be out.
If you are lucky you would have matched somewhere. Your hospital files a H1 on your behalf and you wait for the approval. Once you get the approval, you become a resident doctor. 4 years in residency...and then you are a doctor..
To make this long story short, lots of effort, lots of money and lots of patience is what it all takes...

Hello GCwaitforever,
This should be a solution to the problem. Submit the approved EB-3 I-140 petition with EB-2 I-140 petition.
"The TSC recommended submitting copies of the approved I-140 with the later-filed I-140 petition."
Could you explain more? How above works?

Can you please post the URL (Specific URL not the home page of immigration-law) where this was discussed.
This exact issue is clearly discussed by Mathew Q&A section at www.immigration-law.com. He clearly says you are responsible for USCIS mistake if you did not bring that mistake to their notice. You have to get it corrected for one year ASAP and should contact the attorney at the earliest to do this.
YOU WILL BE OUT OF STATUS AFTER ONE YEAR EVEN IF YOU HAVE THREE YEAR EXTN IF USCIS DECIDES TO DO SO.

If the employer did not pay you salary that he agreed to pay then you could complain to DOL. You stand a sure chance to get paid if you bring this to DOL's notice. You can do this anonymously. DOL would also slap your employer with a fine and he would be banned from hiring H1-B workers for few years.
