Many here are getting confused between PPF ( public providend fund) and CPF in India. CPF is a company specific like 401 K. When you leave or resign, you transfer the money to your new employer or leave it back with the old company and the interest rate given is according to the RBI prevailing interest rate. You do not have to deal with any agency other than your employer to manipulate this money.
PPF is for self employed and well for salaried people and this account can be created in a Post Office or a State Bank of India District Office. I have had accounts in PPF and CPF and never had to pay a rupee to get any of that money or to draw a loan..!
Growing economies have their own set of challenges, so please do not trash the system if you faced challenges in the past, things are changing fast and changing for the good in the developing world. Remember what a nightmare it was to get your railway reservation done? Now , I buy my rail as well as air line tickets sitting right here in USA while I plan my trip.
Now coming back to the point of Social Secuirty, you might refer to the agreements that US has with countries like UK where the actual money contributed to the retirement fund does not get trasferred but credit is given in one's own country for retirement benefits and the final fund transfer takes place between the goverments at the end of the year based on a formula ( This forumla is adjusted based on various economic factors). It works both ways for UK and US citizens as there is a great deal of personnel working cross country.
If things go ahead with India on this issue, it would be interesting to watch the options that would be considered as Indian Govt does not any defined 'benefit retirement' plan which could reciprocate the retirement benefit for US citizens working in India. Goverments get interested in these kind of reciprocatory credit programs either based on political or economic reasons. If US is anticipating that the number of US Citizens going to India for work will increase at the same rate as the Indians in USA, they would be interested in looking at this issue; else there is no incentive for US goverment to cut checks to Indian Goverment from a SS Fund that is already depleted and broke.

Thanks. she is still working for the same employer who sponsored her H1. Now, she needs to continue maintaining relation and continue working for them.
I am still worried though.. I read in this and other forums that USCIS may issue RFE asking for proof and if says medical leave, then asking for medical records etc.. So, better to prepare for some 'solid' answer with out any loopholes by being honest. I do not think lying would help and may lead to more troubles.
It means, if at all they have any doubts, they may issue RFE, but if you have a good relationship in responding to those RFEs using company letters etc, there is no problem. Good relation means, employer has to suppprt you always in case of any RFE, thats it. He needs stand on your side. Then there is no problem. But if he won't stand on your side, then it is a problem. So, thats why relation with employer is very important when on H1 or EB.

My I-140 is approved in 2006 and now i have filed my I-485. My employer has not given me any kind of doucments like I-140 approved document or Labour Substitution document. The only form he gave is ETA 9035E after my substitue labour was approved. If I want to change job after 180 days using AC21 do I need any of doucments from this employer. If my employer is not ready to give , what is other alternative. Plesae advice.
It would be best to get the labor certification application to know the exact job title, job description and wage rate. If employer is not ready to share a copy of labor certification application, file FOIA application to get the copy of the labor certification application. It may take up to 1-2 months to process FOIA.
It is highly recommended to get copy of approved I-140. There may be other ways to handle this, but here is a way I would prefer. Ask your lawyer to send you copy of your 485 packet. If your 140 was approved prior to sending 485 application, the lawyer would have sent you a copy of approved I-140 with your 485 application to USCIS. If your current lawyer is not cooperating with you, you will have to get a new lawyer as soon as you change your job, of'course after getting copy of the labor certification application. When you have a new lawyer represent you, file a new G-28 form for your I-485 application, and ask the new lawyer to fill an application to get a copy of your I-140 approval notice.

Cornyn Calls on Obama to Present Immigration Reform Plan - Roll Call (http://www.rollcall.com/news/36174-1.html)
Cornyn Calls on Obama to Present Immigration Reform Plan
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Tuesday called on President Barack Obama to come up with a comprehensive immigration plan this year, saying a directive from the White House is the only way to push the complex issue forward.
�What we need is not another photo op at the White House. What we need now is a plan from the president,� said Cornyn, ranking member on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security.
�The president doesn�t write legislation, but he does have the bully pulpit,� Cornyn said, adding that right now �it�s unclear how they can get it finished.�
Cornyn is one of several lawmakers who will meet with administration officials Thursday to discuss immigration policy. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs acknowledged Monday that time may run out this year before the administration and Congress � already spread thin with health care and climate change legislation � can take up yet another time-consuming and sweeping proposal.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) echoed those concerns: �We�ve got a full plate already.�
�There�s been little discussion from our side on immigration reform. I�ve honestly not given it a lot of thought,� McConnell said.
But Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reiterated his call for doing a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year.
�We have to finish health care and climate change, but being third on the list is pretty good,� Reid said, predicting that he could muster up the votes for a bill later this year.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who chairs the immigration subpanel, will deliver an address on immigration at Georgetown University on Wednesday and is expected to outline �the principles that will guide legislation he intends to introduce in the Senate later this year,� according to a release.
Schumer will also attend the White House meeting Thursday.

This is my first post so forgive if I am not in the right place,
But I have situation where in I need your inputs to decide.
I am working at a clients place and they willing offer me a full time position.
My Labor is approved Oct 2007 and Filed for I-140 receipt pending.
In this situation should I change my job or should I wait for I 140 to be approved or wait till I apply for I 485 , but as you know the priority dates have retrogressed for EB2 and I heard that they will be unavailable shortly.
I always wanted to get a full time right from my Masters but ended up as a consultant as I had to get my H1 done.
Please Advice!
I would suggest to wait for I-140 to be approved. Once I-140 is approved , PD belongs to you. You can then move to another employer and then restart GC and port the PD with the new employer when they file for I-140. There is a grey area where I am not sure if old employer withdraws I-140 , if you will still be able to port the PD. Some say you cannot port previous PD if previous I-140 is withdrawn due fraud or misrepresentation. Some say if its withdrawn then thats sufficient to lose the old PD no matter what the reason of withdrawl is.

Hey brother,
I am not trying to question your intent just trying to get some knowledge of facts. However your reasoning suggests that there are numbers available to overflow from EB2 World to EB2 India. What if there are just enough numbers to keep EB2 World rolling. I will be interesting in learning more about how these allocations work. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

There is an unpublished appeals office decision supporting the 3+2 equivalency to a US masters. It appears that some adjudicator do not necessarily follow the AAO decision however an attorney told me that if the case goes back to the AAO office then the AAO follows their own decisions. As far as I know the cases I am familiar with all were approved at some point (or are pending) when the AAO case was sited.
As far as the 3 year bachelor degree equivalence to a US bachelor degree there are notes from an AILA liaison meeting where USCIS stating: "Credential evaluations that provide a details comparison of credit hours completed by the beneficiary for the 3 year bachelor's degree program with credit hour required by comparable U.S. bachelor's degree program." Exactly what is meant by this is not clear. However, one might say that this indicates that they are at least open to accepting the 3 year equivalency to a bachelors degree.
Our experience is mixed. We have had many approvals when showing the 3 year degree equivalent to a US bachelor degree and we have had denials. In examining the differences it appears that when the attorney makes a strong case in addition to the evaluation the rate of approvals is higher. We don't have exact statistics since many clients do not report back.
There are some cases where 10+2+3+2 got approved in EB2. But lately CIS has been interpreting the BS requirement to read single source degree. Combination of degrees to equate to the bachelors is not allowed for EB2 purpose.
I agree, they had given approvals under EB2 with a 3 year degree. I have few friends who dont even have Indian masters (like MCA) after 3 year Indian degree (BSc , BCom) i.e 10+2+3+1 year diploma from computer institute, but got approved under EB2 and now citizens.

I read the document and here's what I think is the important part:
In a subset of these
case, the FBI name check request that been pending for more than 180 days.
This means that only a part of those 47k applications are pending for more than 180 days. This doesn't say they will approve 47k in March.
Why mid March? Well that's the time of the month when the VB will be published so I'm curious to see how the April VB will look like.

everyone has to go thru namecheck process. Once during greencard process and once again during citizenship process. (if and when you apply for citizenship.)
To find out about namecheck, you can call USCIS and if you get an officer on the line (not the cust service representative ), then you can find out.
You can also find out about the status of your namecheck with infopass appointment. That will take up some of your time.
Thank you very much. I will follow up on that.

You cannot change employer and keep I-140 if you have not filed I-485 yet. You will have to start the GC process anew if you change the jobs now. So wait untill you apply for I-485. Wait 180 more days after that and you are free to change jobs if your new job is same or similar to your current job.

- How has greencard changed your life after receiving it?
No change. But the sense of relief and freedom is good.
- What did you do on the day you received it?
Woke up parents in India to share news. Did not get off work early. But went to a Thai Restaurant for dinner.
I shopped till I dropped the following Saturday. Felt guilty about spending too much and returned everything next Sunday :)
- How did the long wait upset your life?
Quite a bit. It was always on back of the mind.Once bitten twice shy.Was
always worried about economy. Unable to buy home.Paid 30 % more on home due to GC delay. Unable to change job responsibilities (most upsetting)
- How did immigrationvoice help you during this long wait?
Had never heard of IV belfore July 2 fiasco. Kudos to IV for the San jose rally. I was there. -
Would you like to continue your support to immigration voice and help others waiting?
Yes yes of course-
Any advice for everyone?
Believe me , GC related problem is better then any other problem. Count your blessing because the hurdle of your life at this pont is a freedom card called "GC". You all know that there are several BIGGER obstacles in life that each of us will have to face.
After your GC is done, another problem(big or small) will knock on your door.
