I have recently spent 2 weeks in Chennai and my overall taxi experience has been very good being non Tamil speaking. All Taxis charge more when the starting point is Airport. That is inevitable. If it is just to drop them at the nearest hotel, ask them to approach the Govt Prepaid Taxi booth.
Govt's is cheaper compared to the private Taxis. Ofcourse the Govt only has Ambassadors as the Taxis. Do not expect the Taxis to be neat and clean like here. Expect broken handles.....There are 3 other private Taxi booths, of the private taxis Fasttrack seemed a little lesser compared to others, almost all private taxi rates are closer.
If they need the Taxi from hotel check out Fasttrack website and get teh phone no for Chennai. They have been pretty good an picking me on time, but make sure you reserve it well in advance (4-5 hrs). Whenever I called in the last minute, they were not on time.
I did stay at a hotel far from Airport - clsoer to work. So might not be useful to u.
My experience with Taxis at Chennai airport have always been bad. They quote you a rate at the taxi counter and when you go to board the car, they will add on other charges saying that there is a lot of luggage. Anything more than two large suitcases, they charge at least 150 to 200. You have to haggle with them to not pay. Even the people at the counters side with the Taxi drivers.
Of late, I am having a call taxi service come to the airport to pick me up. You can talk to the hotel people to arrange for the taxi. it comes close to the actual fare quoted initially, but you wont have to pay those exhorbitant charges for luggage.

Hi my father lost his passport at the airport today and with it his I94 and US B1 visa. We do have scanned copies of his US Visa and Passport. I would appreciate any pointers on the following question -
1. What are my next steps?
2. I figured from browsing few sites that he needs to apply for I94 - does any one know of any vague ETA there?
3. Would he have to go through his visa stamping again?
Much apprecaite your reply.

There are few steps you have to follow:
1. As the previous post says, report to the nearest police station and get the number.
2. Find which consulate gives service to your state from this URL http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/consultates.asp
3. Go to their website, and there is an emergency number/lost passport number, call and inform them.
4. You have to fill up the application forms (they will guide you), includes the scanned copies of the old passport and proper fees, overnight to them.
They will process it and issue either a new passport or temporary passport to your father in a quick period of time. It may not be in a week, but surely won't take more than a month.
5. Inform USCIS the same and get guidance from them.
The only issue you have during this process is, he may not be able to travel within US without proper photo ID. You should be ok within your city as he is senior.
Always keep the copy of the scanned passport at hand when going out.
Good luck.

Cygnet,
There is no such thing as a transfer - every petition is a new petition.
In your case, you can be exempt from being counted in the yearly cap if your I-140 has been approved. While filing the petition, your new company will have to attach a copy of the approved I-140, or prove that your I-140 has been approved.
Hello Friends,
I filed for AOS on 07/2007, stopped using my current H1-B on 07/2008 (valid thru 07/2009). I am EB3-India PD 03/2005.
My question is if I can apply for a new H1-B thru a new company in the US now, instead of a transfer? I have a valid reason for doing that. Do let me know.
Thank you.

Saurin,
Technically, your H-1B status terminates once you are no longer working for and being paid by your H-1 employer. Being on a LOA does not protect you from this unless the LOA is for reasons that are both personal and out of your control, such as serious illness.
A new employer can file an H-1 petition for you even if your current H-1 has not been cancelled. You will be required to submit recent pay stubs with that application.
You mention AC-21 and having an EAD, but your profile does not indicate that you have a pending I-485. Can you clarify?

Saturn has plants to produce cars, BUT NO TECHNOLOGY OF THEIR OWN. NO R&D.
Saturn sells rebranded-rebadged OPEL (GM - EUROPE, now sold to Magna) Vehicles.
While Jaguar and Land Rover are very strong brands with their own technologies and research & design capabilities. Besides Tata bought those brands when Rupee was historically high (below 40 per USD). So I don't think Tata made any mistakes.
I think it is Mahindra who is making mistake by not buying Hummer or Volvo or Saturn. I am very excited to see first Indian Vehicle to be sold in US i.e. Mahindra in 2009. No matter what, I will be the first to buy one.
Mahindra has been selling farm vehicles, tractors and stuff, in the USA for quite some time now. I doubt if you want to buy a tractor.

Oh, and i wish i had buy it! A friend of mine told me about it and made a copy for me for testing. (not pretty legal, i know, but if i like the soft i finally buy it. I only need to check it in advance, because my salary is not that big to buy just for checking. Sure you know what i mean
ditto. Screw em if they don't like it. I know if I don't like the program, it goes right off my machine and probebly wont ever be tested again. :)
I do think that painter has many features that photoshop doesn't, but out of the two, Photoshop is probebly a lot more useful. If you want to draw though, and you want to gain a real sense of texture which is the same as the none virtual medium, then Painter is the only way to go. That is to say.. if you want your cartoon to look like it's drawn in crayon.. Photoshop just wont cut it.
Edwin is really the one to ask about this. He's a very experienced Photoshop user and also has Painter6.0.
I will take a look around for books.. but like you and I have already said.. pickins are scarce.

1) Code of Federal Regulations (8 - CFR) govern the visa officer on what to do and what not.
2) Always renew your work visa before the expiry of the existing one. Go 5 or 6 months before the expiration of current work visa.
3) Don't lie on visa application i.e. Form DS-160.
4) If you are given a 221g (does not matter what color), DOS (Department of State) may or may not know when clearance was received.
5) Case Status Report on the embassy website may or may not hold the updated information.
6) 221g does not mean that it will take months to clear. It can get clear anywhere from 7 days to forever.

This is a personal Message from me TO the IV Core and its founder.People can keep it alive by thanking the core.
I Thank the Core and Aman for their dedication, support, campaigns and whatever they have done to bring about the latest development and a big big releif to everyone in the Legal community.
While all other web sites and forums were just picking things from IV , IV was leading in updating and keeping the members informed about each and every development.I am sure they had been primarily instrumental in getting this done.The issue has and their effort has not only given this releif but have brought the burning issue to the limelight and in the eyes of lawmakers and the Govt, which will now lead to a larger and sustainable solution to the IV community.
I once again THANK each of the IV Core members and other members for really making the IV a force to reckon with...
THANKS AND REGARDS

Hi Leoindiano:
What is meant by Pre-Adjudication and how do we know that, our case is Pre-Adjudicated. Sorry to ask you this qn. specifically, as I amnot seeing any LUDs on my case, and my para-legal says, dont worry.
my case details are PD10/05 EB2 I, RD 07/02/07 and ND 08/30/07 at TSC.
Can you enlighten us little bit more.
preadjudication is where USCIS processes your case even when visa numbers are not going to be available: meaning ur PD is not current, they know even if all is well they wont be able to approve, but still they go over everything, issue an RFE is something is not ok etc. If all is well, the case goes into a pre-adjudicated stack, and once visa numbers are available, they simply pick up a file from that stack, assign it a visa and mark it approved. This is how lots of people got approvals last year in july VB.
pre-adjudication has three advantages compared to starting to process only when teh PD is current:
- If they wait for PD to be current to pick up a file and start looking at it, there is no way they can process so many cases when the PD does go current, or when dates move significantly towards the end of the year. This is how they processed nearly 60k cases in 2 months last year.
- if PD is current for a short period (1month or 2) and thats when they pick up your case, if you get a NOID you could end up missing the window by the time you respond and they pick up your response.
- its helpful for them because they can weed out cases that are not going to be approved, earlier and they dont end up giving interim benefits to those people.
ur status does not change when your case is pre-adjudicated.

- The A0XX XXX XXX is the A number or alien number
- Nothing good or bad. It is sometimes there on the 140 approval notice also. It is there on 485/765/131
- No one knows when you will get your GC. Your PD is old so you may get lucky soon...
Thanks for your prompt response.
- still I feel that only because I received just now after 8 years this A#, seems to me that only at this time I'm registered as an immigrant?
That is what alien number means in English ? Sorry.

I am on my 7th year H1B. I got a 3yr extension from my current employer based on approved I140. I have the I140 receipt number but do not have a copy of 140 (my employer refuses to give it).
I also do not have the LCA for Perm filing.
My 485 has been filed more than 6 months ago.
I do have the new I797 (till 2010) for my H1B extension from my current company.
1. Is it possible for a new company to do my H1B transfer without a copy of I140 ?
2. Is I140 required to do EAD extension ?
3. What are the consequences of not having an actual I140 copy with new employer in future.?

Case: H1B transfer Denial
One of my friends H-1B transfer got denied. The case is he has a H-1(under masters quota) from Oct 2008 with a previous employer and got a new job from Jan 2009 so applied for a transfer thru them. He has been working from last July2008 and has all the paystubs from july2008-dec2008. So applied the transfer with all the paystubs. He got an RFE in March asking to provide W-2 for last year , paystubs , client letters etc. After replying to RFE after 1 month got a denial from USCIS in the website. HE is still waiitng for formal letter from them. So wat are the options available ??
Can he go back to previous employer ?
Can he file a motion on why they rejected the transfer? If even the motion gets rejected can we still go back to previous employer ?
Please let me know it is kind of urgent...
