1. The 14th amendment is what this country created as a result of the civil war to end slavery. The congress-critters thinking of repealing this amendment either have forgotten their history or are evil in ways people have not understood.
2 and 3. Expectations of a balanced budget is an excellent example of not understanding the consequences of previous policies. Either a. reduce spending or b. increase taxation.
Neither is acceptable, but we still want a balanced budget. When I was young, I learnt these basics of supply and demand by carefully managing my pocket money. I suppose the rich congress kids never had to think like that.
4. I don't really know enough to comment on this
I will comment on 4.
Estate tax is in principle a very good idea. If some one dies, a portion of that persons estate is taxed (at almost 50%) before it is distributed to whomever it was willed. This promotes re-distribution of wealth, prevents concentration of wealth in a few families. Incentivises to work and earn one's own money than depend on parents property. This estate tax was first introduced by Augustus Caesar about 2000 years ago and almost all western nations use it to varying degree. I wish this tax is imposed in India too.
Warren Buffet and Bill Gates both support estate tax. There are some arguments against it. One argument is that if children do not have right to parents property, then society (through government) does not have that right either. This is basically a moral argument but we do many things for greater good at the cost of individual right (forcefully buying land for public works like roads etc.) and is generally accepted.

Hi,
What's the Maximum amount of money the parents of a h1b person can carry from US to India when they are returning after a visit on B1 visa? I heard it should be a dollar less than $10,000 per person. Somebody told me its $10,000 per party. Please answer this.
So if father & mother both are traveling back from US to India can they carry $9999 each in their hands while traveling through air? It will be $19,998 total for the party in total
While coming to US I heard you don't have to declare the money/currency you are bringing as long as they don't exceed $10,000. So if they are taking most of that money back along with some extra cash (total < 10k per person) is it safe to avoid any questions/complications with US TSA/ CBP?
Have anybody got into problems or delays?
I just want to have the right information handy just in case.
Please help by sharing the right answer. Thanks in advance
I think that the total limit is $10K for a family (not person). If I remember correctly, on entering the country, we are asked to fill only one customs form for the entire family - and it clearly states in that form that the total allowed is a max. of $10K per person.
Having said that, the following are considered to be cash (not fully inclusive):
1. Traveler's check
2. Cash
3. Checks
4. Money Order
5. Cashier's check
The following is not considered as cash:
1. Credit cards
2. Debit cards
So if you would want to send more than 10K out of the country and not want to get into any issues and also be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to pre-load a debit card and then send it with your parents.

This due to increased fee coming to effect after July.
The increased fee went in on July 31, 2007 and as far as I know, no relief in fee was provided to naturalization applicants unlike I-485 applicants till Aug 17. Still many naturalization applications were filed in Aug 2007.
Looks like the I-485 wave swept the naturalization applicants too :)

Hi
I hold a H1b Visa but did not work after coming to US.
Can anybody guide me regarding my current status.
My H1 was approved in 2007 quota and i entered US in march 2008..but was not successful in getting a job and my employer is not running any payroll..
can anybody help me with this??
thankyou
Nice try!!
We all know you are an anti-immigrant trying to post this question and then will try to use it as an example to show how H1bs try to break the law.
Don't you have something better to do like, finding a job after getting laid off or learning something new to upgrade your skills.

Title: initiate talk about 7% - 10%, and recapture of EB2 / 3 CI of letters points: BBS Unnamed Space Station (Sat Sep 25
7%- 10% 和recapture对EB2/3 CI Gods now put forward two options, initiate talk about 7% - 10%, and recapture of EB2 / 3 CI effect.
1 7%- 10% 17% - 10%
This program is not the pie bigger, just change the way the bread. Winner：EB3C; Loser: EB2I Winner: EB3C; Loser: EB2I
对EB3C明显利好，估计通过的话，2 ，3年EB3C 可能赶上EB2C!!! Significantly positive for EB3C estimated through, 2, 3 EB3C could catch EB2C!!!
对蝗虫一样的EB3I基本 意义，多1200基本名额杯水车薪。 EB3I on the same basic meaningless locusts, drop in the bucket more than 1200 basic quota.
对EB2C短期难以预料，长期略有好处。 Difficult to predict on the EB2C short and long-term slight advantage. 这个方案本质上是把全世界剩余名额给中印墨菲三类多给1200个。 The program is essentially the world's remaining three places to give Murphy and India 1200. 因为以前全世界剩余名额全给了中印二类，现在中印二类 少了约5000个！ The remaining places in the whole world because in the past to the second category in India, China and India are now two categories for about 5000 less! ！ ! ！ ! ！ ! 。 . 虽然中国二类多了1200基本名额，但由于中印捆绑，EB2C从剩余名额分的 更少了！ Although China's 1200 basic quota of more than two categories, but because India bundled, EB2C points from the remaining places for even less! ！ ! 长期来讲，经济恢复后，剩余名额会减少很多，EB2C多的1200也许能够补偿从剩余名额少分 的数额。 Long term, economic recovery, the remaining places will reduce a lot, EB2C 1,200 more places may be able to compensate for a smaller share from the remaining amount.
EB2I， BIG LOSER！ EB2I, BIG LOSER! ！ ! ，其他国家多的， 是EB2I少的！ , Many other countries, is EB2I less! ！ ! ！ ! ！ !
2 Recapture 2 Recapture
把饼做大了，对所有的人都有好处。 The pie bigger for all the people are good. 如果把自2000年浪费的名额拿回来，全世界二类、三类都没有排期！ If the waste places since 2000 to get back to the world II, III are not waiting! ！ ! ！ ! 这个方案对EB3I影响最大，因为EB2C/I 还有盼头，EB3I已经在深渊里呆着了！ The greatest impact on the EB3I this program, because EB2C / I also rewarding, EB3I has been left alone in the abyss!
大家可以理解谁在大力鼓动两方案了吧，没有 缘 故的爱，也没有 缘 故的恨啊。 We can understand the two programs who strongly encouraged it, no love for no reason, no reason to hate missed ah.

I think something is missing here. How did they find out ?? Did they take you in for secondary inspection?? taxes?? If your university allows online classes, you might be able to finish your courses online and complete the required coursework(i.e. ofcourse if you dont need to finish thesis or defend project work) the university should be able to confer you a degree.... might be worth chatting with the international office.

This is looking down the stairs outside my office, saw this for the first time today. I had the wrong lens and no tripod, so I just shot a couple to get a feel for the motif. This was the least blurry of the bunch - handheld at 1/6s isn't my strongest skill. :)
What do you think, is this anything? It has been done a gadzillion times, but maybe one more is interesting? I'll go back this weekend when the place is empty, with a tripod, and get a bunch of different versions. Anything you'd advice in terms of composition, angle, lighting etc?

It's hard to explain, but the first two don't really do anything for me. The third one is certainly a step in the right direction (totally fugly JPEG artifacts ignored), and I think that with a bit of post processing you could really take it in some interesting directions. My eye only notices the deer after a little while; if you wanted to focus more on the deer, you could use a masked adjustment layer to subtly (the key word is subtly - very subtly) darken everything but the animal, and another adjustment layer to add a tiny bit of contrast only to the deer. Of course, QJ will come up with many other and more creative things to try, but that's off the top of my head a few ideas to start with. :)

I just received this RFE on my spouse's I-485 application. It states that while the applicant's name is spelt **i**** on the application it is spelt **ee**** on the birth and marriage registration certificate. The RFE states that they require some sort of document to show that name was officially changed. In a following note the RFE states that the document (I would assume the green card) that the USCIS will issue will be issued in the name on the birth certificate instead of on I-485 application if sufficient proof of registration of name change is not provided. Only a copy of the passport will not be treated as sufficient proof and supporting documentation that the name was registered with authority has to be provided for the USCIS to accept the name change.
Did anyone face this type of issue. What did you do. Any information would be appreciated as I have no clue about how to deal with this. I will ofcourse consult a lawyer at the beginning of next week but would like some advice.
Not to panic. As said by "trump_gc" prepare an affidavit explaining the correct name and ask the attorney to send an amendment request on 485 if name has to be changed along with all supporting documents and explaining the current situation.
Also please let us know your Priority Date and Receipt Date of I-485 and service center, this helps members of IV understand what PD and RD currently uscis is reviewing.
Thanks,
Krishna

i am not a lawyer, so what i state here is from my personal experience. i have been to hawaii on an H1B 3 years ago. there was absolutely no problem anywhere. its like flying to any of the 48 mainland states. no one asked for passports anywhere ( i did not even carry it).
I ofcourse flew to hawaii, but i have taken cruises to mexico.
as long as the cruise ship does not touch a foreign port, you are good. check with the cruise company if they need a passport. they usually have info on what is required. before entering the ship, your papers are checked and if there is something needed for immigration when you return(like from mexico), they wont let you in until you show them the documents.
since you are boarding from US, visiting an US state, coming back to US, there should be no problem.
