    Same here - Masters from US, with PD 2006....Stilllllllllllllllll waiting!!!!!

    I was reading an article handed over by my Lawyer sometime back - the whole GC process was designed to be completed in 6 mos. end-to-end.

    This goes to show how outdated the process is, plus the resource crunch they may be facing at USCIS.

    All in all - it's a black hole...only your 'karma' can get you out of it:)

    Check my signature! I have a MS and PhD from here... be thankfully you are so far ahead with your processing!

    I can understand your frustration, but try to empathize with guys who have PD before you and are stuck in this lousy system.

    I don't think there was a Conf Call in '07. Does anyone know when the next call is scheduled?

    Does anyone communicate with the "Core Team" and get updates ? Could somebody explain how IV works?

    This might be just a way from DOS to USCIS to say bring their house in order... do not advance dates until you know the what the accurate demand is.....

    just my thoughts...

    -----------

    Item E of the May 2008 Visa Bulletin (number 118, volume VIII) indicated that many Employment cut-off dates had been advancing very rapidly, based on indications that the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) would need to review a significantly larger pool of applicants than there were numbers available in order to maximize number use under the FY-2008 annual limits. That item also indicated that if the CIS projections proved to be incorrect, it would be necessary to adjust the cut-off dates during the final quarter of FY-2008. The CIS estimates have proven to be very high resulting in: 1) the �unavailability� of all Employment Third preference categories beginning in July, 2) the �unavailability� of numbers for China and India Employment Second preference adjustment of status cases during September, and 3) the establishment of many October Employment cut-off dates which are earlier than those which applied during FY-2008.

    Little if any forward movement of the cut-off dates in most Employment categories is likely until the extent of the CIS backlog of old priority dates can be determined.

    I don't know that they charge 400 for password change:mad:, I recently did it and also Customer care never informed me about this charge...

    Check their interest rate and their service fee. I don't have to say anything anymore.

    By the way what kind of convenience you received from ICICI bank? Recently i asked for a password change. You know the procedure for changing the password? I don't want to waste a page here. You yourself go and verify.

    Apart from that you have to pay close to 400 rupees for every password change. Tell me if i am wrong. I challenge you.

    :confused::confused:

    I am excerpting Internal Revenue Code Section 1361 below:
    Internal Revenue Code
    � 1361 S corporation defined.


    (a) S corporation defined.

    (1) In general.
    For purposes of this title, the term �S corporation� means, with respect to any taxable year, a small business corporation for which an election under section 1362(a) is in effect for such year.

    (2) C corporation.
    For purposes of this title, the term �C corporation� means, with respect to any taxable year, a corporation which is not an S corporation for such year.

    (b) Small business corporation.

    (1) In general.
    For purposes of this subchapter, the term �small business corporation� means a domestic corporation which is not an ineligible corporation and which does not�

    (A) have more than 100 shareholders,

    (B) have as a shareholder a person (other than an estate, a trust described in subsection (c)(2) , or an organization described in subsection (c)(6) ) who is not an individual,

    (C) have a nonresident alien as a shareholder, and
    (D) have more than 1 class of stock.

    (2) Ineligible corporation defined.
    For purposes of paragraph (1) , the term �ineligible corporation� means any corporation which is�

    (A) a financial institution which uses the reserve method of accounting for bad debts described in section 585 ,

    (B) an insurance company subject to tax under subchapter L,

    (C) a corporation to which an election under section 936 applies, or

    (D) a DISC or former DISC.

    There is no mention here that the "resident" must be a permanent resident.

    Here is an excerpt of the Federal Regulation that defines who is a "resident alien" for taxation purposes:

    Reg �1.871-2. Determining residence of alien individuals.
    Caution: The Treasury has not yet amended Reg � 1.871-2 to reflect changes made by P.L. 108-357

    (a) General. The term �nonresident alien individual� means an individual whose residence is not within the United States, and who is not a citizen of the United States. The term includes a nonresident alien fiduciary. For such purpose the term �fiduciary� shall have the meaning assigned to it by section 7701(a)(6) and the regulations in Part 301 of this chapter (Regulations on Procedure and Administration). For presumption as to an alien's nonresidence, see paragraph (b) of �1.871-4.

    (b) Residence defined. An alien actually present in the United States who is not a mere transient or sojourner is a resident of the United States for purposes of the income tax. Whether he is a transient is determined by his intentions with regard to the length and nature of his stay. A mere floating intention, indefinite as to time, to return to another country is not sufficient to constitute him a transient. If he lives in the United States and has no definite intention as to his stay, he is a resident. One who comes to the United States for a definite purpose which in its nature may be promptly accomplished is a transient; but, if his purpose is of such a nature that an extended stay may be necessary for its accomplishment, and to that end the alien make his home temporarily in the United States, he becomes a resident, though it may be his intention at all times to return to his domicile abroad when the purpose for which he came has been consummated or abandoned. An alien whose stay in the United States is limited to a definite period by the immigration laws is not a resident of the United States within the meaning of this section, in the absence of exceptional circumstances.

    Here is the relevant Federal Regulation on Proof of Residence for determining status for tax purposes:

    Reg �1.871-4. Proof of residence of aliens.
    (a) Rules of evidence. The following rules of evidence shall govern in determining whether or not an alien within the United States has acquired residence therein for purposes of the income tax.

    (b) Nonresidence presumed. An alien, by reason of his alienage, is presumed to be a nonresident alien.

    (c) Presumption rebutted.

    (1) Departing alien. In the case of an alien who presents himself for determination of tax liability before departure from the United States, the presumption as to the alien's nonresidence may be overcome by proof�

    (i) That the alien, at least six months before the date he so presents himself, has filed a declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States under the naturalization laws; or

    (ii) That the alien, at least six months before the date he so presents himself, has filed Form 1078 or its equivalent; or

    (iii) Of acts and statements of the alien showing a definite intention to acquire residence in the United States or showing that his stay in the United States has been of such an extended nature as to constitute him a resident.

    (2) Other aliens. In the case of other aliens, the presumption as to the alien's nonresidence may be overcome by proof�

    (i) That the alien has filed a declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States under the naturalization laws; or

    (ii) That the alien has filed Form 1078 or its equivalent; or

    (iii) Of acts and statements of the alien showing a definite intention to acquire residence in the United States or showing that his stay in the United States has been of such an extended nature as to constitute him a resident.

    (d) Certificate. If, in the application of paragraphs (c)(1)(iii) or (2)(iii) of this section, the internal revenue officer or employee who examines the alien is in doubt as to the facts, such officer or employee may, to assist him in determining the facts, require a certificate or certificates setting forth the facts relied upon by the alien seeking to overcome the presumption. Each such certificate, which shall contain, or be verified by, a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury, shall be executed by some credible person or persons, other than the alien and members of his family, who have known the alien at least six months before the date of execution of the certificate or certificates.




    (c) Application and effective dates. Unless the context indicates otherwise, ��1.871-2 through 1.871-5 apply to determine the residence of aliens for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1985. To determine the residence of aliens for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984, see section 7701(b) and ��301.7701(b)-1 through 301.7701(b)-9 of this chapter. However, for purposes of determining whether an individual is a qualified individual under section 911(d)(1)(A), the rules of ��1.871-2 and 1.871-5 shall continue to apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984. For purposes of determining whether an individual is a resident of the United States for estate and gift tax purposes, see �20.0-1(b)(1) and (2) and � 25.2501-1(b) of this chapter, respectively.


    In summary, I submit to you that if you work in the US for more than 6 months out of a given year, you are a resident alien, and therefore are eligible to set up an S-Corp.

    Since I am still learning about this, any input/feedback/logical arguments with relevant proof/citations would be appreciated!


    Very good info, thanks for the posting. BUt its still not clear whether the spouse who is on EAD and does not work at all or for that matter 6 months in a given year, will she/he be eligible for setting up a S -corp??

    Thanks

    Agree. Truthinspector is simply expressing his opinion and if one doesn't agree, just put your side of the arguments to counter his but their is no need for character assassination. It's perfectly fine to disagree with someone but there are better ways of letting him/her know that.

    truthinspector: may be it's time to invoke "freedom of speech" clause. ;) .. just kidding.


    for all of you sharpening the knives to get truthinspector, let me start by saying that he/she has only mentioned their opinion and/or facts. they may not have been presented in a politically correct manner.

    truthinspector never mentioned that the US has NO NEGATIVES........... purely stated why India is still not and (I am not sure about the 500 years - seems like an arbitrary number) will not in the near future, be a developed country and presented his/her reasons for the hypothesis..........

    this forum is better served if you can show how and why truthinspector's list is incorrect instead of talking about self-confidence, self-esteem and all the other intangibles that you have no way of gauging without actually knowing truthinspector as a person.........

    you are the one indulging in personal attacks, while truthinspector is only stating opinion and/or facts....

    the truth always hurts. some more so than the others........

    The unbelievable growth in India made me explore a bit in terms of investments, ended up with the financial advise and recommendation from experts that we cannot directly invest in equity as an NRI. Only investment allowed it seems, for NRI is in real estate. Not sure whether this is true. There holds the surprise I could not add up the numbers in real-estate in India. Real estate in India is darn expensive even by international standards (with per capita GDP of $700->$2500 per annum).

    Flats in Indian hub cities: 2-bedroom, 1000 sq ft apartment for average $200,000-$300,000 and above. (www.99acres.com) Condos in most major metros in USA: 2-bedroom, 1000 sq ft average $200,000-$300,000 (google housing)

    Given that, median income in US is 50 times more than India. I thought the Indian cities are up in bubble. Next, look at agricultural land prices.

    Agricultural land in Northern part of India is average $50000 - $250,000 per acre (www. 99acres.com) where in east, west and south is about $20000-$200,000. In Villages its about $15000 to $50000 per acre.

    Agricultural land in US is in the range of $6000-$15000 per acre. ($12,000 per acre in NJ, $6,000 per acre in California and $8,000 per acre in Florida. From USDA website)

    Now You can do the math. Commercial land is even more expensive in india.

    The reason, people say, population density. Now lets look at this factor, the density in India is much higher than USA. But, compare to NJ, NJ is actually slightly more densely populated than most states in India. Real estate is regulated by government in India that prevents easy buying and selling and land survey records are not properly maintained which makes it easy to bump up the price.

    Can someone explain to me how in the world, the farmers in India who make less than $1000 per annum continue to own land that is valued at several $100K? How many can afford a home in that country?

    Is this what economic experts call "bubble"? I believe there needs to be a correction in the market in India to avoid a disaster.

    Good analysis. How long did you take to put this together this comparison?

    Login to your bank account (This is for BoA)
    Go to Bill Pay>>Payees>>Add a Payee

    You will see two options
    1)Pay a company
    2) Pay an Individual

    Click the GO button next to Pay an Individual (without entering any information)

    In the next page

    You will see a small form
    Payee- is the name- in whose favor the check will be made
    Nickname is for your reference
    In Identifying information- you can put your handle
    Rest is obvious

    Payee creation is one time setup

    Once you have created a payee
    Go to Bill Pay>>Overview
    and here you will see an option to make a payment
    Can anyone shed some light on this... I want to know how to pay thru BOA bill pay option.


    Thanks.

    Can you shed some light on this process? Do "Immigration Litigation" Attorneys be able to help in this?

    This person had been posting on Murthy forum and he did get responses from Attorneys that "mandamus" is the way to go.

    What is Mandamus and what is difference between what you suggest?

    Mandamus is a case where plaintiff is trying to force a government official to perform his/her duty. It's being used when a case is delayed beyond reasonable time frame. See more details here:
    http://www.ailf.org/lac/pa/lac_pa_081505.pdf

    Wrongful denial is disputed based on the Administrative Procedures Act (“the APA”)
    The APA allows reversal of agency action that is “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. � 706(2)(A).
    Generally, you cannod dispute I-485 denial unless denial was based on wrong intepretation of applicant's eligibility for AOS. See, e.g. Sepulveda v. Gonzales, 407 F.3d 59, 62-63 (2d Cir. 2005)
    http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/76407587-1ac2-4692-9a3e-f644d7d5045b/13/doc/03-40643_opn.pdf

    Immigration litigation attorney should be able to help, but it's fairly simple to do on your own as well.
