Thats a great idea. Could one of the moderators please do this. Raise the urgency on this so that some the dormant ones do it as well.

I am working on H1B. Recently what has happened that my family lives in state A, and I am working in state B. My family could not move to state B because my sone is going to school. I have to pay alot of expenses to go back and fort from state B to A, like air ticket and cab ect. I talking to my compnay regarding this and they said that whatever are my expenses submit to every month end and he will send a check for those expenses which will be pre taxed amount. i.e. if my pre taxed salary is $ 5000 per-month , if I submit expense statemet for $500. Then my employer will send a check of 500 and paystub i.e. direct deposit after applying tax on $4500.
I am not sure whatever he is suggesting is good tyhing to do and it will not have any problem for me.
Go for it, I personally belive it is legal and unlikely to cause any problems with your H1.
Your paystub will still mention salary to be 5000, however it will show $500 in pretax expenses and so 4500 will be the amount deposited and taxed. For H1 purposes, you are still being paid $5000.
One thing I am not sure of: as mentioned in one of the posts above, can this be done more than one year? (i do not know the asnwer to this; clarify with your employer and their attorneys; it is not your headache anyway).
Good Luck.

Yes, your reply is exactly same as her. But she added one more point. According to her The CBP officer can't deport a AP bearer. He/she has to parole the person and then can schedule a secondary check for I 140 validity. In such case my attorney can pitch in.
But I am not sure if this is true or she is being over assuring.
Thanks a lot

guys,
i do not know how to make this clearer
if you want to join ANY iv chapter, your name and other info i listed below is mandatory. we do not admit anonymous members. if you cannot reveal yourself to your own community then you are frankly no good to us....
please DO NOT send blank requests for membership.
having to write back and ask for it is a real waste of my time.
please cooperate the first time round !!
Thanks :)

What makes you think in this Direction ?
looks like they will make us wait till 17th and accept/reject case from July 2nd...and most of the rejected cases might not be eligible to refile :mad:...this is my guess!

Visit your local INS or USCIS office. They should guide you through the process.
On a lighter note, you will also experience their "hospitality".

I haven't come here for a while and don't know what's happening here. Several weeks ago, we said we would be happy if congresses pass CIR. How come we don't want CIR to be passed now?
Please read the IV Core groups analysis on the CIR bill...which is totally different than the CIR thhat was passed by the previous Senate in 2006

Hee Hee - U think that a lawyer like Greg Siskind - doesn't make sense.....
I bet - he is on the money....
The only thing USCIS can do at it's own discretion is issue Public Notices / Memoranda....Nothing more
I am guessing they can only do is - take back their public notice of 485 rejecting in July....It was their call and they can take it back....Department of State never endorsed the idea....USCIS goofed up on the occassion and got DOS into it and did the 485 rejections....

If you are at office and can not call from your desk do the following
Please call in suppoirt of Cantwell Amendment
1. Print the phone numbers
2. Print the talking points
3. Take your cell phone and call from your Car in the parking lot
Make as many calls as you can squeeze in. No number is too small or too large
This is the do or die time for all of us.

The information quoted by morpheus is quite correct. you can attend board meetings as a director although honorory or because of your extensive shareholding. you cannot be a salaried, contracted or basically compensated director or board member. you cannot take salaries but can take dividends (profit). you can also apply for any licenses or authorizations required for the business in your name. just make sure you dont write anything off in your name to save the taxes on the dividends because that will show your active involvement (day to day) which you cannot have.
I owned business and had state and federal licenses when I was on F-1.
And very frankly if you have any innovative ideas are an entrepreneur immigration and visa is the last thing you should worry about. There are many ways to to that and if you have a trustworthy citizen or GC holder as a partner it is very easy. just concentrate on your ideas and plans. contact a lawyer, do some reading of IRS pubs, and immigration law.
I am an entreprenur myself and I wish you very good luck and success.
Please consult an immigraiton attorney. There is a lot of misinformation in this area. I believe several of the posts above are incorrect.
My immigration attorney has advised me I can invest in and own anything - LLC, C Corp - as long as I don't take an active role in the business. Once you become active, you need an employment visa e.g. H1 to cover that. Since moving to the US I have owned and/or founded a couple of companies. I filed a visa so I could actively manage one of them. The others I am just a passive investor. One interesting question is can you attend a board meeting and still be a passive investor? Personally I think so, because board membership is not employment. Some may prefer to err on the conservative side.
Income from activites like Google Adsense or royalties is a grey area. It would make an interesting case, because it's very hard for the USCIS to say it is 'employment' rather than passive income. Any legal advice in this area is just an opinion. According to my attorney, there are no USCIS memoranda or case law on the subject.

Hi, For some reason, their employment based insurance rejected their pregnancy coverage. Do you have a link that show that pregnancy is NOT a pre-existing condition in group insurances (Law website or any links?)
her pregnancy is sometime around 6 months now and they will need insurance..
Thx for your help :)
* Coming as H4 --> So, assuming to join a H1 or equivalent.
* Spouse must be covered by his employer.
* As soon as she arrives, she can be included in his insurance (most insurances allow open window throughout the year for new arrivals into the country)
* Pregnancy is NOT as pre-existing condition in group insurances. It is LAW.
Relax.
