I tried to apply for the SSN for my wife and my child about 6 weeks ago.
As expected, the officer refused even to accept the application ("H4 don't get
SSNs"). I would have submitted the application by mail, but this is not
possible since I have to show my passport to prove that I am legaly in the
country. I insisted that I have a legal reason to apply and even if she thinks
this is not a legal reason, they have to accept the application.
The head of the local office finally accepted the applications. I was told
that the regional office thinks that the Stimulus Payment is not a federal benefit.
One week later the application was declined. The reason given was
that "the SSA doesn't issue SSNs for tax purposes." I had included with
my application a cover letter with the relevant parts of the law and why I
think the SSA should issue the SSNs.
I will now ask for reconsideration. If the SSNs are still declined, I am not sure
about the legal process. Normally, there are two more levels before
a social security case goes to court. One can ask for reconsideration
by an administrative law judge. I think this doesn't cost anything for me,
but I am not sure if this also applies to cases like applying for SSNs.
(Usually it is about the payment of benefits.)
There seems to exist something like a legal definition of federal benefits
(see Wikipedia). I am not sure if the Stimulus Payment would satisfy
this definition and if this definition is the one used in the social security act.
To bring the case to court is quite useless since when the case is decided,
it is to late. One needs the SSN in 2008.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

What about the people with earlier priority dates and already in the queue?
I guess they are very low in numbers. Thats why they moved the PD to 2006.
Again when I say low , it could be low number of ripe cases.

I saw lot of posts above saying good things about them however my experience with them has been bad. I am assumng this is Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP we are talking about.
There have been a couple things in the past but the most frustrating one was that even though I sent them all my papers etc. by Jun 20th (so that they can file it on July 2nd) they did not file my case until Aug 08. They are my corporate lawyers so I don't have any choice. Also, they asked us not to contact regarding status during this period as they were really busy. While not responding to status queries was understandable, they still took more than a month to file cases. I confirmed with a lot of my colleagues who were in the same boat and were equally frustrated with noncommunication and taking so long to file the cases. They also were not maintaining any apparent first come first serve queue because there were several folks who got their filings done much sooner than others who had sent complete paperworks way before them.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend them.

The Point system that this bill refers to is a BS , look at even canadian system they differ upto some extent on these. But the key point is this bills retroactiveness , it simply puts all those ppl stuck in BEC out of scope , the point system is not tried too , just becoz the managers of these senators thought this is good by getting a hybrid point system of Canada, Australia and UK is good enough ? This point system is worse than current sytem no matter what ever it might be good for some but logically , technically its flawed

Guys, temper your expectations. Cust Service Rep at USCIS are not trained to answer the questions that pertain to things like visa bulletin's effective date and whether or not they will accept the ones or reject the ones on July 2.
Cust Service Rep is for general information for those who cant or wont use the USCIS website and other sources of information on the internet. Or for those who dont speak English.
Cust Service is not intended to provide complex answers. Last I heard, even the Vermont service center folks didnt know about bulletin revision and they were turning down 3-year extension requests for H1 visas thinking that the bulletin is current until confronted by lawyers who said that bulletin is unavailable and now there is reason to give out 3 year extensions instead of 1 year extensions.
If Vermont service center was unaware of visa bulletin revision, then what do you expect from a Cust Service Rep who is trained to answer questions that cover information that can be fit in 20 pages ??????

In 2004, a friend moved within the same Multinational company (A) from one business (A1) to another (A2). The HR department did not apply for an H1 transfer assuming that one was not needed, and the friend worked for a few months before the business A2 was sold off, and the new company realized the mistake, and filed for her H1 transfer, which was approved. The new company then filed for her labor and got her I-140 approved.
Can the friend now file for AOS? Was the period that she worked for A2 'unauthorized'? Does that preclude her from adjusting her status now?

Air India has the newest Boeing 777 LR non stop from JFK to Mumbai and Delhi. You can get tickets as cheap as 1000 usd roundtrip in economy.
Cheapest business class where you can SLEEP! 3500 USD roundtrip to India. Find a cheaper business class where you can actually sleep and let me know.
Best food! undoubtedly. New entertainment system with lots of Indian movie options.
I am not sure if old sayings apply to Air India.
Also we have jet airways , whose international service is in same class as singapore airlines, emirates and virgin atlantic.
So why are we wasting time with such moronic european airliners? who cant let us sleep one night in their country.
This year, I flew Lufthansa as that was the most viable option for me. The flight from Germany to Mumbai was substandard but the service was ok, cant complain. People were friendly at the german airport.
In 2004 or 05, I flew air france one way on reward ticket, the FAs were rude to Indian customers but overall flight experience was smooth , comfortable and without hassle. People at french airport were ok.
The lufthansa ticket was 1640 rountrip. I also considered air france, first they quoted me 2200 USD and then said, if I could compromise and flew alternate dates, fare would be 1840. The ticket agent sounded as if he was doing me a favour. No wonder when I showed up at the airport, the air farnce flight was almost empty whereas there was a big rush on lufthansa.
CHANDU - I see airline is responsible for this. It is their duty to prevail on authorities otherwise why are they asking for business from Indian customers? In 2004 Delta used to fly via france and my brother had missed connection, he was provided hotel by delta in france for one night. Good that delta got fed up with european visa rules and started new non stop service.

I don't think i should necessarily agree with this statement. The shortage of manpower is w.r.t US Citizens with specialized skills...hence they recruit specilized people on H1/L1 categories which are known as specialized skilled employees. They won't bother about others unless they hold H/L.
Moreover, they have to think about unemployment issue caused by foreigners. Hence, I think they can't allow anyone work just like that...
I can see the most wierd issue with immigration law is that GC Holders can't bring their spouses on any dependent visa just like H4. In that sense, H4 is a bit better than 'foreign spouse of a GC holder'.
... One the one hand they will keep on syaing that we have shortage of manpower and on the other hand they try to restrict. ...

Yes....Each employer must file for New H1B. But it does not invalidate the current H1B, untill its revoked by the employer.
Yeah! it does not invalidate it because its a "new H1B". Not same as, lets call it portability.

Please be considerate to your good employer and good attorney of yours. You do not want to burn bridges, when you leave. Give them at least 2-3 weeks notice. That is the least or at least work with them for 6 months since that is what the law would require you after getting GC.
AFAIK there is no law requiring you to work with your current employer after getting GC, particularly if it is based on an EB1-EA petition. But there is an underlying intent that you will at least continue working on areas related to your extraordinary ability. And I read elsewhere that this will likely be a major factor later, should you apply for citizenship, when USCIS will go through your employment and GC history with a fine tooth comb. In worst case scenario, they will not only deny you citizenship, but may even revoke your GC (again, this is what I read on other forums, and makes good sense too). So yes, switch as many employers as you want, but stay within the scope of your promised field of expertise and ability.

Hello,
During the July 2007 fiasco I applied for I485 and I got my EAD and AP, but I have not used the EAD and still using and maintaining my H1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago I went to India and used my AP when entering US though I had a valid H1 but I did not get the Visa stamped and after entering US on AP I am still using and maintaining my H1 and NOT using EAD. Recently I also got a 3 year extension on my H1.
Now I am applying for my new AP as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should I put in the "Class of Admission" field? Shall I put the AOS or H1?
TIA
