A person, leaving behind a car/home and going back to home country is not doing anything criminal. He is playing by the rule. Of course, these acts would shine on his/her credit report for a while.
.
I am surprised some of us are actually encouraging immigrants to contribute to the current housing crisis.
I don't really care how it works in America or the rest of the world but common sense tells me loan defaulting is criminal.
When I lend $1000 to a friend for a year with 10% interest, I expect $1100 back at the year end. If he cannot pay and runs away to another country, that makes him a criminal (and of course it makes me stupid).
Let's say I decide to be little smart and hold his $1200 laptop, as a security.
Now, if I get only $500 by selling it at the end of the year, he still owes me $600 and he should still face criminal charges, because effectively I have been robbed of that amount!
American mania for home ownership has cost all of us heavily. The whole nation runs on borrowed money, with humongous federal and state deficits.

I must admit I had not read Slumdog's post properly (I had read his older post abt Peace of mind and was going by a past impression that this one would be a stupid post...).
I strongly feel without gc one should not buy a house but I like parts of the current posting. I guess the bigger issue is the screwed up immigration system getting tied down to your H1-B/EAD and the prospect of endless waits and that is driving people bonkers - what the hell, I'm not going to compromise on my standard of living. Whatever it is, I fully understand all the issues faced by all EB-I folks.

I just called the number on the online status and the lady I spoke to initiated an inquiry and gave me an inquiry confirmation number. I dont know if that is of any good.

Team IV has the support from the Runner's World on-line!! This is an awesome opportunity to get Team IV some press coverage and national recognition for our efforts for the legal community and for our fight to help prevent childhood obesity!
C'mon IVians, with support from running giants like Runner's World, we should step up to the plate (or the start-line) of at least 1 walking/running event with Team IV!
Lets hear it for Team IV!

Hi Guys,
When can we call I mean what are the office hrs for these people. I and most of the people in IV are in office right now and it might not be possible for them to call during regular business Hrs. Can some one update the thread with the Office times of these people It will make it easier for people to schedule the calls...

imh1b and snathan....i respectfuly request that you'll refrain from calling anyone names....there is no need to call people fool/drunk/moron. I am quite sure youll are educated professionals that can think of better ways to make your argument.
bitzbytz was merely suggesting ideas...no reason to diss them...unless you have tried these yourself and have statistical proof that it won't work in other cities in the country.
bitzbytz....so say you need convincing...fine...what questions do you have about IV?
As you can see its an organisation of volunteers...and there is no PR department :)
IV's main goal is to clear the green card backlog...do you share this goal and believe in it? if yes...then contribute...even if you fully don't agree with how IV operates or responds
As you are well aware there are not too many organisations pursuing this cause so you can either help this one...or sit back and hope that one day Lawmakers will out of the goodness of their hearts do the right thing...lol you know that ain't gonna happen...with IV you have a bunch of others co-ordinating towards pushing Lawmakers for change
StarSun...i'll help with both the tasks you mentioned. My lawyer already gives free advice in several LA univs so he might be interested in this.
My questions...says he is interested...what does he have to do to participate....is there a number to call for the conference call....or a special link where he has to go to join the chat? which thursday of the month is he needed...is this fixed or does it change every month?
To be honest i never visit the forum page unless i need to search for something and thats very rare....can we put up a link or an Icon with a tiny banner advertising the free lawyer phone call on the home page?
I am not sure if you are part of the campaign for 'Filing for I-485 when PD is not current'. We have explored all these ideas and even we put flyers all over the Indian restaurants and grocery shops. But not much happened. Even I have personally called people around five - six times and asked people to support. Though they are languishing in the GC line, they couldn�t find any time to visit IV. What would you call a person when he is saying for various reasons not to meet the law maker�s staff in their local office? They are able to find various reasons for not to meet but couldn�t find even a single reason and time to meet once but still questioning others work/ effort. Are they just making fun of us or do they just think they are doing a favor for others?
If one genuinely interested to work on the issues there are various ways to do that. Sitting and complaining about others is not going to help but just irritate others

Is there anyone here in this forum who has file I-485 without a birth certificate. meaning instead of birth certificate what document did you use? could you please share it with us. Thanks.
Here is what my attorney recommended-
1. Get a "Non-Available Certificate" from the municipality
2. Get 2 people to provide affidavit (close relatives) in support of your birth date.
Hope this is helpful. Check with your attorney too.

I had discussion with Mr.Gotcher about this issue. He said, AILA is collecting information on this matter and they are pursuing with Altanta center. But he does not believe or expect any positive outcome. As said earlier he insist to send a formal complaint with OIG and offered his time/help. As its affecting large group of people he refused to accept any fee. I offered we are ready to cover any expense which he might incurr, but seems like it would be very less and he offered free service. Mr.Gotcher will draft a letter in a week time. What we need now - lot support and signature. We do not need to provide any case number. so I dont believe there would be any consequence. So guys please come forward. Spread this news as much as possible and get enough support. Help yourself and get out of this mess.
Thanks.
2 questions
1. Why does Mr.Gotcher say AILA lawsuit will have no impact ? If that is the case , then how come a plain letter will have effect?
2. How to mention about audit cases in the final letter template given by RON? Think this needs to be mentioned some where .....

I am opening a new thread to post all updates on the CIR. It seems today is a crucial day when the house comes in session and work on forming the committee might start. If people hear any updates you can post in this thread.
I read on immigration-law that conservative republications are trying to torpedo the CIR with a new technical legislative argument. It sure is going to be a difficult task to have this bill passed since house has republican majority and they are saying in the media that they will not have the bill passed.
"Report indicates that the House hardliners who opposed the Senate-passed S. 2611 have come up with a weapon to block the House-Senate Conference Committee and the S.2611. The weapon they have hammered out involves a constitutional issue as to whether the provision in S. 2611 that requires guest worker applicants to "pay the back taxes" as condition for the legal status constitutes a federal government's measure to raise the revenue. These hardliners argue that the U.S. Constitution mandates that any legislation to raise revenue for the government must originate in the House and S. 2611 violated the U.S. Constitution by originating such legislative bill in the Senate. When the Congress returns on Monday, there will be a see-saw fight between the S. 2611 proponents and opponents on this legal technicality issue. One wonders how the House hardliners would defend their prior violations in the past in another legislations that involved such legal technicality issues. Besides, there is no clear definition as to whether such back-tax payment requirement indeed constitutes a revenue raising measure. "
