May be I am reading it incorrectly. But this news (http://www.livemint.com/2008/10/08001058/Govt-mandates-EPF-for-foreign.html?h=A1) concerns me
New Delhi: The labour ministry has made it mandatory for international workers � both Indians working outside the country and non-Indian citizens working here � to contribute 12% of their salary (matched by an equal amount from the employer) to the Employees� Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), irrespective of the contributions they may be making to such schemes in other countries.
Does this mean that now if I am working for a US based company, they would have to contribute to Indian EPF on my behalf. That would put a lot of burden on them and essentially give them a dis-incentive to not hire Indian workers.
What are your interpretations?

Looks like you missed to check it before you went thru hospital. It is always advisable to apply Birth Certificate thru Hospital and apply SSN yourself at the SSN office.. This way you will get your SSN within 2 weeks of you applying SSN. Many times hospital staffs explain this unfortunately you did not get this msg.. You can call SSN office and see if you can get SSN over phone.
Good Luck!
Thanks for your responses. The hospital staff told us it would take 60-90 days to get the SSN. I am stuck until that arrives because only then can I apply for the passport. Any way to get around it?

hi:
I am filing my I140 and i485 togther this week. I have had 2 previous employers to the current one.
I wporked for my first employer for nearly 3 years ( some months less) and then other employer for some 4 months and finally switching to the current employer..where I have been working for 6.5 years.
I am getting experience letter from first employer but second employer where I worked for 4 months has no record.
Is it ok to file I140 with just experienced letters from my first and the present employer and let go the one with just 4 months? Please let me now..I did call the former employer who worked there..but she also does not remmeber because it was 7 years back and that too for short time.
Please let me know..is that is risky or will come back with RFE?

Even I am going back to school full-time with my wife on EAD with AOS pending. As far as I know there are no issues. If there are any specifics in your case, just consult your attorney.
I remember in one of the calls with attorney[organized by IV], I was told I don't have to worry about producing pay-stubs.

Here is my understanding:
Situation 1-
1. Get New Visa Stamped:
If you get a new visa stamped, you will be entering on the new visa. The consular will cancel your old visa at the time of issue of new visa. My understanding is that you can have only one valid visa of the same type stamped at one time. The visa stamp does not have an effective date and it only has expiry date. Again this could have changed with all the changes in the last year or so,, but in the past they would cancel the old visa generally with the wordings �CWOP� across the old stamp at the time of new visa issue. If that�s the case you will enter on your new visa which will have the extended expiry date.
Situation 2
2. No New Visa Stamped and entering on the old visa
I am not sure how this works; because the new H1-B extension you just got has the same I-94 Number printed on the approval card (on the bottom left side) as the paper I-94 you have stapled on your Passport. Once you leave you will surrender your I-94 that�s on your passport and get a new I-94 when you enter which would have a new I-94 number which will now be different from your I-94 on the H1 B extension. I believe this I-94 will take precedence over the I-94 that you have on your H1-B approval since that will now show in the USCIS records as surrendered. Again this is my understanding but an attorney can give you a better advise on this..
Hope this helps..

Hello all,
My attorney filed my original 485 on June 28th at NSC. My PD is July 06. I didnt realize this until mid Aug. My attorney filed a second application on Aug 15th. I did a stop payment on the original checks as advised by my attorney. This afternoon I received receipts from the original filing with a receipt date of July 2nd. I cannot reverse the stop payment- I just called the bank. Will my application be rejected now because of the checks or should I send new checks with the receipt number and a note stating what happened? Or should I just wait for recepits for the 2nd application? Thank you.

Thanks for this Jason. I've often wondered why Olympus and Pentax haven't stepped up and gotten in the dslr market with the other big boys. My first camera was a Pentax K1000 (which I still have) and it was great. When I first decided to get into the dslr game myself I was disappointed to find so few choices of manufacturers.
It's good to see Olympus getting in the game. They've always had a solid product and I'm sure they will work out their design flaws.
