Thanks Y'all for the inputs !
Iam going to Houston tomorow for getting my fresh passport, hope I get it in couple of hours so that I can go to French embassy and get my transit visa too. :(
----
I recently travelled to India via Munich on Lufthansa. I was told by my ticketing agent that I will need a German transit visa. I looked at the info. on German constulate's website and did some reasearch, I didn't need one.
I suggest, you get one to be on the safer side. For other readers, if you are on H1B and if your transit time is 2 to 3 hours and you travel on the same airlines (there are other issues e.g. the terminal is same etc.), than you don't need a transit visa but always call in and check with the appropriate constulate.

Set up your own company LLC. and ask them to sign corp-corp or 1099 and you be the sole owner of this company.
This way even if you dont get full time offer you can defend self employment.
W2 Contract can be a problem because of USCIS's perception of permanent job.

We got the same problem for my wife. There is a 'n' missing in her last name (our mistake)- I called the USCIS, they said we need to send the I-765 application again with the wrong EAD card. If it is your mistake we need to pay the application fees again. If it USCIS mistake (like typo), then there is no need to pay the fees.
Since my wife is not going to work / or use EAD till next year, I am planning to submit her application while renewing the EAD. Moreover, I went to SSN office with this wrong EAD, They identified the spelling mistake in the last name, they accepted the SSN application and going to verify with USCIS before issuing SSN. Since all other records in the USCIS has the correct name, We hope this should be ok.

Buddy:
The way I see is that you have two options:
1) You close your shop here in USA and go back to India and take care of them there. India is booming, you will surely get a good job. But then this is based on your priorities and what u want to do.
OR
2) Find a very good old age home for them in India, where there is 24hrs support for them.. This will be cheaper for you and good for them. They will be in midst of people of their age and get all the support which you will not be able to give, as you and your wife are working.
Coming to US at this age and with such medical condition, will only become a burden for you and them. Since all they will land up doing is baby sitting your kids and maybe walk to the nearby mall. There is no way for them to interact with people of their age, which is big social need for everybody.
It is true no insurance will cover their pre-existing condition, so you will land up paying all their medical expenses. However, if u r a millionare, then bring them over here, then u will be able to take care of them......otherwise practically I see you losing all your hard earned $$'s....God forbid anybody getting sick here in US.
I just gave you some practical advise.
I hope you make the right decision, which would be good for you and your parents.

Hello tdasara,
I have undergone the pain of UK transit visa in Sep 2010. I booked my tickets thru AA-BA (RDU-LHR-HYD). I was told UK DATV is very easy to get. Applied on Sep 10th. Got FP done on Sep 27th. Sent original EAD, passport, AP documents, 485 receipt, FP processing sheet and a covering letter explaining why I wanted the UK DATV on Sep 28th by Fedex. Packet reached UK consulate in NY next day. Got a mail on Oct 8th that a decision was made. Received a letter along with passport/EAD/AP which said "Your request for DATV has been rejected since I am not convinced you need the DATV. There is no appeal for this decision". The process itself took 12 to 13 days. I researched later why they could have rejected my application. It seems I had to literally put in my whole life history - original employment verification letter, original bank statements proving my ability to travel, letter from my manager which states I have a job in US and I am going on vacation and I will come back and report to work, address proof, driving license proof, old passport copies, and any other thing u think could bolster your case. All this for what ?? To pee in London Airport in the 3 or 4 hours u stay there in transit...
I rerouted my tickets RDU-ORD-DEL-HYD (paid extra 470 dollars per head), went to Chennai Consulate and got stamping and while coming back, came thru LHR without hassles.. I confirmed in (on my way back) LHR that if I had proceeded without transit visa while going, UK would not have allowed me into LHR.
So if U plan to apply for DATV, please arrange for all the above documents and anything in excess u can muster to prove that u will just pee in LHR and move on. and that u will not land in LHR, tear your passport and get into UK and ask for asylum (This is what immigration offier in UK said most people would do if they were lackadaisical in giving transit visas).
All the best!

the above scenario was if you were mnaintaing H1 status. if you are working using EAD then ofcourse your current status wont be H1 bur AOS hence you will send proof of that.
The idea is to show that you are here legally and if working prrof of that authorization thorough a visa or EAD.

Has any one here changed their maiden name or their spouses maiden name in the US? I heard that it takes 1 week if one hands over passport and documents in person. I plan to go to SFO CGi to get this done before filing I-485 on Jul 1st.
I recently got married and did not have time in India to change the name.
Any experiences/advise is appreciated. My apologies if this is already discussed in previous threads.
thanks

Well, thanks all for your responses, but I am as cfused as I was before I posted the question. Do any of you have any sources to back your claims. I know for sure that worldwide income has to be reported, so thanks for that clarification desi3933. But do you have a source that mentions that a person on H4 can for sure work outside. Many thanksa again guys. All your help is appreciated.
I just checked and earlier info was incorrect. Please accept my apologies for providing incorrect info.
It is against immigration rules to work in any form or manner on an H-4 visa. The immigration rules clearly state that H4 status holders can only do voluntary work.

Dear Fellow IVians
quick update: I received the receipt notices today for EAD Renewal by mail. can't believe it, but truly received for myself and my wife.
Big question is
1.Mine is having case number as LIN08801XXXXX which is fine, because my entire GC process since past 5 years is in Nebraska Service Center. I'm the primary applicant
2.But wife's case number is different, which is NSC08801XXXXX and clearly mentioned in the notice that her case is with national benefits center, Lee's summit MO.( By the way we live in Missouri)
The entries for "Class requested" is shown as C09 in both cases, which i believe correct.
Help:
Has anybody received like this before? if it's normal, i'm not worried
If not, any clues about next steps like do i need to call somebody or call Nebraska ??? a bit worried. any help ???????
Thanks in advance
Satya
Efiling EAD does not cause LUD on I-485. Guess something else.

Absolutely agree. That is definitely the way the other side will argue against the "dependents exemption" provision. But doesnt mean we shouldn't ask for it :). its another way to reduce the backlog. And while the practical aspect of what you describe is completely true...what we can argue is - is it fair to bring in thousands of workers and their familes for "work" using one criteria (we do not need families to work for industries) and then ask them to pack up because of backlogs created by another criteria? (too many of you came to work now you suffer because we use a different logic to make you permanently settle here)
it is a part of IV provisions and proposals. we ask for 10 things and push hard and might get 1 or 2 through.
H1B is temporary visa.
Green Card is permanent.
On H1B you can even come to USA for 1 day and go back. But on Greencard you are asking to say here permanently with family. You are also asking for family be given all Green Card benefits like ability to work etc. So it makes sense to count dependents. On H1B the employer is only giving you the job and calling you. So you get work permit. Wife and children do not. You are being called only because USA needs your valuable skills and they cannot find Americans. There is no I485 stage on H1B visa. Wife coming on H4 is only to stay with you. This is understood even before she applied for the visa. So there is no reason for wife to complain that she cannot work on H4. On Greencard I485 stage, once the employer has established no American is available to work, you petition USCIS to allow your wife to stay with you as you also will stay permanently. in I485 you ask for the benefits of permanent residency for wife and children.
So it makes sense for counting dependents in the quota. What we should focus on is removing country limits. Country limits are discriminatory. It is morally wrong.

Hello,
My wife has been offered a position by her client, a company which received TARP funding and repaid it. These are her immigration details:
H1b start date: 01-Oct-2004
Perm applied: Jan-2008
Audited Twice: First time because of FRAGOMEN and second time asking for some documents
Perm Status: Pending
Original H1b expiration: 30-Sep-2010
H1B extended because Perm has been pending for more than a year
Current H1b expiration: 30-Sep-2011
I do understand it is better to transfer with an approved I-140 because it allows for porting priority date and 3 year extension of H1 with new company but I am not sure new company can wait that long.
In the current situation, is it possible to transfer H1b and get the validity until 30-Sep-2011? Appreciate your responses.
thanks
