I dont think one is necessarily doing kids a dis-service by electing to go back. On the contrary, kids experience tremendous personal growth through interaction with extended family which is not possible in a foreign land.
I come from a nuclear family in India and see no reason why my kid cannot develop into a good citizen the way my parents made sure I did..........
I learnt at a very young age that living with your cousins/uncles/aunts is not necessarily a guarantee of being close........ I am a lot closer to family I never lived with in the same city than I am to family who lived a few blocks from where we did.........
It is all in how the parents mold the environment for their kids. if we as parents fail in our duty towards our kids, does not matter where you live, we will do a great disservice to society..........

I have read online that S-corp is better than LLC. Is that true?
Below is some info that I have collected:
Anyone who is planning to do business within the State of Maryland, using a name other than their own personal name, must register with the state of Maryland (Business.gov - Official Business Link to the U.S. Government (http://www.business.gov/states/maryland/assistance.html) ). If your business is a sole proprietorship, you do not need to register your business with the state.
For help selecting a legal structure for your business, visit our Business Incorporation (Business.gov - Official Business Link to the U.S. Government (http://www.business.gov/states/maryland/assistance.html)) guide.
Your choices include sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, "S" corporation or limited liability corporation (LLC). Personal liability, taxes, paperwork and regulations vary greatly among the different legal business structures. Your attorney and accountant will play a key role in assisting you in this important decision.
C Corp will be double taxation. While S corp is not.
The profit earned thru C Corp can be taken out by the owner of the company. But he has to pay 15% tax.
What company to start - LLC (or) C- Corp. In our non-immigrant view, this is the difference - Under LLC, your company A's financial profit/loss etc will appear on your tax return. In other words, when you are out there at the consulate requesting a visa (or) for any other purpose and the officer asks for your tax return, there is a likelihood that the officer will ask you about all those financial records in the tax return.. and you will have to explain about your company which could lead to some other questions - what company and who are the employees etc etc ??
Under C- corp - it is like investing in the stock market. It will show that you have invested in a company stock and that company has paid you dividends. Period. So personally i prefer C-corp... there will be less questions in the future. I donot know if i'am right or wrong. Professionals out there can correct me if i'am wrong.
Now for the real differences - Under C-corp, you will be taxed twice - (ie) The company makes profit and there is a tax on that. Now the company divides the profit and gives it to its owners (you), and you get taxed for the dividends. bottomline - if C-corp, then it is like investing in the stock market.
Under LLC - the company profit's trickle down to your profits and you pay taxes only once.

I don't think EB3-I would be U for more than a month, as I keep saying this year EB3 would be getting some share of spill-over. So even if it becomes U for April that would be temporarily and it would return back in May.
Thank's
MDix
MDix,
What spillover for EB3 you are talking about? Based on how they interpreted the spillover law last year, EB3-I can't get any spillover until EB2-I and EB3-ROW is current and thats decade away.
I am just trying to get the facts. I am not against EB3-I as I myself is EB3-I and waiting for my turn since last 7 years.
Thanks.

Most leaders are actually volunteers in IV. They have a regular full time job.
What you are saying: "who can take a flight to Washington DC on Monday morning, change the law by noon to issue GC to every EB category, have a lunch at Olive Garden, come back monday evening" :
For this you need to hire full time lobbyist which costs a lot
of money. IV budget is nowhere close to that the Hispanic lobby group:
National council of La Raza whose budget is
$40 million or $1.3 billion including its �affiliates� network.
IV is a tiny organization in front of La Raza. Thats....a BILLION with which they hire full time lobbyist.
I strongly suggest you listen to the audio interview to understand how big the hispanic
lobby is and get some reality check of how things work in US politics.
Raul Yzaguirre on Past and Future of La Raza : NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4229605)
Even with such power also they cant pass CIR. But at least they ensure that no
EB or illegal immigration reform will pass unless there is something for illegals.
I agree with you . In fact I commend the IV leadership for at least giving us a platform. If someone believes that by a budget of 50 K to 100K a year IV can do some miracle then I guess they are deluding themselves.
I don't know much about behind the scenes IV leadership but I respect them for taking time off and doing something for the EB community .
Money talks in this country. Maybe IV people had good ideas or bad ideas but without money I don;t think anyone is going to hear our voice OR we need mass involvement - even that is not there . Although 30,000 people are IV members but when you need them except a couple of hundred you don't see anyone.
How can an organiation work which can't even collect 5K a month from its members . We all are willing to spend hundreds ( sometimes thousands ) of dollars on EAD, AP , H1, labor, I-140, I-485, lawyers etc etc and don't even spend 100$ a year ( yes not month - a year ) .
Most of the people come here to check forums or get free advice.
For this reason alone I cannot fault IV leadership and I respect them .

Just an update from my side:
I have just talked local Congresswoman's Office and I have talked to a staff member for 1 hour and she is helping me. She is going to call NSC and get to the root cause of this problem.
Guys,
If you are reading this, do not lose hope. We have to try every avenue and knock every door that is open.
That is the attitude, my brother.
Good luck with the MTR, it is sickening to see such blatant errors on their part.
I'm sure the eventual outcome will be in your favor, and it is good to see that you are still in good spirits.

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. TSeveral dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.

Hi,
My wife is on H4 and she has her H4 extension approval. But the local DMV says that they need to see a visa stamp in her passport to issue a DL. Its actually exchanging her out of state DL! Can anyone from NC (Raleigh, Cary, RTP, Durham etc) share their experiences please.
