Some folks may have got away with it, the chance is low for an audit particularly if you earn <100k/yr. Do the research yourself independently. The conclusion will be that you CANNOT deduct these expenses. For TAX purposes Immigration has nothing to do with your work.
In addition for I-485, your EMPLOYER does NOT have to pay for it at all, since it based on the individual. I am am sure many of us have got into trouble because our "friends" or "relatives" have told us things just because they heard from other "FRIENDS" or "RELATIVES". I know of enough cases myself.
Hello IVans,
My employer did not pay for I485 expenses (USCIS fees, Lawyer expenses and Medical exam expenses). I paid all these expenses out of my pocket. Today one of my friends told me that these expenses could qualify as tax-deductible expenses. I have my doubts, but want to get you thoughts.
Thanks.

If CNN drops Lou that will not pass CIR or recapture. There are so much Lou Dobbs are there in USA. It is a waste of time.
Thanks to everyone who signed the petition.
I believe in freedom of speech but Dobbs is using the CNN platform to spew hate. A legitimate debate is fine but hate speech is not ok.
I used to believe that ignore him was the best way to deal with him but after seeing some of the so called Tax parties, I am starting to think that ignoring him does not work.
Please also post this to other web forums, facebook, twitter and send emails to your friends and colleagues asking them to sign the petition.

It took about 4 weeks. Do you have H1-B extension? If so, I would suggest to use that instead of waiting for AP. The AP has new date instead of old one. Good Luck in getting the AP sooner.

Hello, I think I made a mistake. I recently went from GC to citizenship and it cost me my job. I was
fired shortly after becoming a citizen. I am from a country other than yours. Sorry about that. There is no particular website that represents immigration from the country I immigrated from.
The employer replaced me with a visa card holder. After I trained him, I was fired and my boss was fired.
I am a skilled programmer with advanced degree. Employers from the dice.com website refuse to even acknowledge my resumes. Being unemployed is no way to be a new citizen. So I am ready to give up searching and move to India,in search of programming work. All I want to do is write code. I do not desire to make a point or to annoy anyone, I just want to work and write source code and try to get on with my life.
What are my chances to find work with the giant IT corporations of India? I am ready to move today. Can I revoke my US citizenship and immigrate to your country??? Sorry sorry sorry if this offends anyone, I do not mean to annoy any of you. I just want to have a job and write code and I will be on my way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for permitting me to present my delima to this your website.

This is not a genuine post....This person says that he/she was replaced by a "visa card holder". If this person has survived the pain then he/she would know what terminology to use. This person talks about a "country other than yours". What does this person mean. And of course this person lost his/her job "because" he/she became a citizen. So this person suddenly became incompetent after becoming a citizen. We may be suffering but we are not exactly idiots.
Moderators could you please do what is needed with this thread!

To answer your question the Priority date column is NULL ( i mean blank) for most of us in 485 Receipt Notice.
But the "Section : " is showing UNKNOWN for some of us and showing something else for others...
I'm wondering if that could be an issue - shall we call USCIS to fix this ?
what does the priority date column on the recipt notice say?
Does it show the actual priority date or is it blank or something else?

2. Does he have to be on payroll all the time till he is with The existing employer. I was on payroll for 2months and my project ended and will there be any problem if iam out of job for next 2 to 3months considering the market conditions.

Biometrics is not needed for EAD. I received mine with "NO fingerprint available" marked on the card. Please call them back or get another infopass and this time, you might be lucky to talk to somone who knows what they are saying. Or just may be, they changed the rule on the fly a few days ago regarding biometrics and EAD.
Hi, I didn't receive my EAD after the 90 days and my lawyer caller the customer service center and they told her that it hasn't been issued because I haven't gotten FPed for it even though I have gotten my FP done for the 485. Is this right? I have never heard of a separate FP needed for an EAD. I am really confused and despite several attempts to make an infopass appointment with the local office I keep getting "no appointments available" notice. My another question is can I get an appointment in an office that doesn't service the region? I live in Southern CT and New Rochelle, NY is the service center that I got my biometrics done and since I didn't get a date putting my own zip code in - I put New Rochelle's zip in it and it gave me openings in New York City. So, can I go see an officer in New York City even though that is not my local office?
Please help, I need to get my EAD soon since my job is waiting for it.:confused:

See responses in red below. Guys...I don't understand why there's so much of confusion. How is it that you can't figure out what the manner of your last entry was??? If you used H1 then it has to be H1, if you used AP then has to be PAROLEE! In any case, this is stamped on your I-94...just check there.
Hi illinois_alum and sanjayc,
I have very similar questions except for our situation. Both me and wife have valid H-1B and H-4 and need to apply for our EAD extension (we are maintaining them in parallel). Can you suggest what should be our response to these in such case:
1. Manner of Last Entry : Should it be H-1B?Check your I-94. I-94 stamp tells you your manner of last entry and current immigration status
2. Current Immigration Status : H-1B? We never used EAD/AP to work or travelI don't know when this would be different from the Manner of Last Entry. This field entry should be same as previous one
6. Eligibility status: Should we just menton (c)(9) or have to add "FILED I-485" too?I think there is a Drop Down...you can't just enter your own text (don't remember 100% though. But if this is text then just enter (c)(9) - this already means that you have EAD eligibility because you have filed for AOS/I-485
Thanks for your help.

if what you said is correct then if dates move forward then people at NSC are going to get far more GC than TSC because 485 applications have been pre processed at NSC and TSC will not be able to match NSC in issuing GC
No TSC is not. TSC goes by priority date and not processing date. TSC I have seen follows different processing style. For e.g. if your namecheck/security check or some kind of check is pending they dont send you FP notice. Also they process applications if your PD is current/close to recent bulletin.

If we're forced to see the glass half full, delayed 140 processing may actually be good for some people who are about to be laid off and whose 140 is on shaky grounds. It might just buy'em some more time to switch employers and figure out alternatives.
Maverick_2008
Ummm, how exactly is delayed I 140 good if they are about to be laid off? To be able to use AC21 these guys need need their I 140 approved and have worked for the employer 6 months after receipt date.
I don't see the logic in your statement.

My apologies if the post was out of context. Didn't want to open yet another thread here.
I have only one E-mail id - lobbyday@immigrationvoice.com - which is being used by everyone to send their details for setting up the meetings. I don't have any other E-mail ids with me [ except the volunteer who contacted me]. Which one should I use? Lobbyday@IV or the volunteers E-mail id?
Could we just keep the focus of this thread to encourage more members to send the information required to setup the meetings on Sept 17th? Your comments may be important and you may have a valid concern, but mixing all the information and individual meeting view-points is going to create a chaos.
Walking_dude,
If you have any question, could you please simply send an email? Volunteers working on this effort are working day in and day out and they are not going to come to this thread to read your post and to answer your question. Your post is relevant, but somewhere else. It is not helping what we are trying to do on this thread. You apparently have the documents so that means you know which email to write your comments/concerns.
Hope you understand what we are trying to say.

It all depends on your friend's priority date as well as her scheduled delivery date. The only problem is if her PD becomes current before the child is born or her case is approved before the birth.
To prevent all these hassles she may be advised to give birth to her child in the US unless she does not have that choice.
Well, actually she does. But they are worried that they GC might be approved and their child would be out of status- any suggestions?

I came to US in March 2007 on L1B, mean time applied for H1b during April 2008 which got approved with COS effective from Oct 1 2008,
I could not work on H1b for some reasons, continued work on L1 until end of may 09 , went back to india during last week of May 2009 and returned in a month time (last week of June 09) with same L1 visa,
Now I have a valid I94 fo L1 until Feb 2010, also H1B I94 says valid until 2011 which I assume is no more valid due to re-entry on L1 n offcourse never having worked on H1b till date.
Now I would like to take up H1B in a month time, following are my questions
1. I assume that my employer need to apply for COS from L1-H1 now (form I-539) correct me if iam wrong,also is it legal to work while COS approval is in progress?
2. Is there a premium processing for COS? to make sure I get approval first and then start working,how long does it take to process premium and what is the typical time frame for normal one?
3. My family is back in India, are they legal to travel during my COS being in progress with necessary stamping ? This is in case iam legal to work while COS is in progress, or
you recommend me getting them before COS is initiated with there L2 visa n then apply COS for them too ? Risk here is if COS is not approved for some reasons everyone have to leave !

What if you directly send a personal check?
MAy be good for large amounts. But for small amount too much fees is associated. I sent some checks of $100 to a charity , almost Rs 500 was deducted as fees for every Check. It was Syndicate Bank where they encashed the check.
