Hi,
As with many of the people around, my wife got her SSN last year. She has started working as a consultant on 1099 since early Jan 2008. So, there is no issue for the 2007 tax return. However, I have few questions regarding the estimated tax payment this year. Since this is the first time we have come across 1099 based employment, we are very confused about how to pay taxes.
As her employment is based on 1099, the employer is not deducting any taxes. I got the 1040-ES form from IRS website. These are the specific questions:
1. Does the Estimated tax voucher need to be sent in joint names? We file joint returns together but I work on W-2 and she works on 1099.
2. Does 1040-ES form need to be used for all the estimated Federal payments (Federal Tax + SSN Tax + Medicare Tax)? Or there are separate forms for sending the SSN and Medicare taxes?
3. I live in California so I will need to use 540-ES as well for the CA state tax payment, correct?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards.

You have done all the right things, sit tight, all izz well.
It would be helpful to others if you can blog the cover letter and the AP explanation letter.
Great, so I see so many fast cases here.
I had all my docs well organized, also put tabs corresponding to the list numers on cover letter for quick access. I also included self addressed prepaid priority envelope.

Thanks a lot. This helps me.
Now for this EAD, should I go thru an attorney or do it myself by the USCIS website.
you can file EAD on your own, see the self-filing threads on IV, or other webapges on sites for required documentation. Dont spend money on an attorney just for this.

If there is a valid I-94 that you can mention on 485 form and if that I-94 is not expired and it is also the latest I-94, then you may be ok.
What if the I 94 is expired and an H1B extension is filed and still waiting for the Approval ?Will that one will also be rejected or by attaching the receipt copy will be good enough?

We applied for her AP renewal on July 1st 2009 and on the status page, it says approval notice sent on July 16th. At the same time I also see a soft LUD on her I-485. The new date is 07/15/2009 but no status update. Are these two events connected or is someone actually looking at her I-485? Note, she is not current per priority date, however Texas processing times have been updated recently.
Any comments?

Currently on H1B 8th year extension which will expire on 25th June, 2009.
Labor PD: 9th August, 2004
Labor cleared: 11th September, 2007.
I-140 (approval pending) filed on 4th October, 2007. Received at USCIS on 5th October, 2007.
Can’t file for I-485 since the EB3 date for India is unavailable.
There is a high chance that I might be laid off at my current employer in the next 2-3 weeks.
Can I transfer my H-1 upto June 25th, 2009 (or later) as well as start a new PERM case in EB2 category?
In case of the above H-1 transfer, will the new H-1 be valid for 1 year from the filing or will it be upto 25th June, 2009?
What are my other options not to go out of status or leave the country?
As you have I-140 pending (from Employer A), you are eligible for 1 year H1-B with any employer.
Please check with your attorney.

Guys the person who wrote this article is a Democratic political consultant - in short political propaganda.
I would like to hear views from someone who is neutral.
If I recall Birthright citizenship was only being opposed for those who were not legally in the US. But as someone said this will be a very tough change to achieve anyway.
I am all for both parties working together, doing what is better for the country, rather than passing Bills in 1 week that no one knows the contents of.
I really want to see some concrete facts showing they oppose legal immigration.

No one is saying this is what is going to happen 100%. It is all educated guess with whatever data in hand as of today.
Any person who has filed labor 2+years back would be having the required data to guess the PD. Most of the people know more than immigration attorney in US about the entire labor process. USCIS is educating all of us with immigration law, senate, congress, Bills and the entire US political system.
If I get GC, I will try to become an attorney or a senator.

The day I applied that day the PD was current.
Are you joking that I will get my GC soon.
All the last so many months, people have been talking that its going to take about 5-6 years still to get a GC, because there are not much GC VISA numbers available.
Also that date is showing as 19 july 2007. does it mean that they have just picked up my application and started processing and will take few months to process since they have to go thru FBI check etc and all other weird processes?
Does anyone have any hard data that there are any chances soon for getting GC in hand?

Dudes,
I dont know about what stopped you all from attending. If there is no genuine reason, I really feel sorry for you.
Rally was huge success, there was 1800 to 2000 people. IV has their names, Indians and chinese are the ones who are effected more, thats why we have more from those nations at rally.
The only disoppintment was number, expected 10000 and got only 2000. Otherwise, enthusiasm and the response was really great.

The first thing to consider is the job requirement. It must require a minimum of a master's degree or a Bachelor degree plus 5 years progressive experience. If the job description has that requirement, and you have the required background, then it can be filed as EB2. In your case the job description states a minimum of a bachelor's degree and 3 or 4 years experience. This would only qualify as EB3, regarless of your credentials.
I think I missed the part of "- BS Degree plus 3-5 Yrs experience or ..." in the job description.. I remember reading something on the forum, and it can be paraphrased as 'if you have an -OR- in the experience requirement, that spells trouble'. In your case, a BS plus 3 years (rather than 5) would also qualify, so you may not be able to do EB2.
On the other hand, so long as your new employer supports your immigration filing, you may ask them to prepare a new case for you, stripping the BS+3/5 requirements.. good luck!

I had the same experience on Wednesday. Do not hang up, you will be connected to an IO after a while.
I called (First time in last 4 months) to TSC using POJ method to check how they are trying to process cases. I know it was a futile attempt but wanted to try my luck regardless.
Guess what? When you can't get through right away (which is never) you get put on hold in queue. Instead of background music you would get with any other wait in queue system - the message kept repeating every second - "Your estimated wait time is between 10-15 minutes"...
It annoyed the heck out of me and I hung up rather than hearing the message over and over again.
Since I have not called in past few months, I do not know if this is how it always worked or is this a recent change. As far as I recall, they did have background music which made it a little bearable to wait 10 minutes.

Fear Mongers are the ones who are relying more on Govt for the social safety net benefits, they dont want to work and enjoy the Govt benefits, at the same time they blast undocumented aliens for using the Govt benefits, its the biggest hypocracy and party of Naysayers is full of these hypocrats who are just riding on "Tea Baggers" in the congress and do nothing about immigration reforms.

Prepare your evidence, this will include pay slips, emails, etc., write down a statement of facts, if you want to go the extra mile find the relevant parts of the statute (go to thomas.loc.gov and/or dol.gov) that ban the behavior where employer broke the law and print that out too.
Then go in person to local DOL office, speak politely with the nice people there, and your employer may find himself in hot water. Be prepared to take a half day for this.
Of course you want to make sure that no longer working for that employer does not put you out of status.

You mean to say that EB3 (40K) is already used up for this year :-(

I am trying to figure out the same and after rigorous communication with my lawyer and a few companies, I came to an estimate that it may take anywhere between, atleast 12-18 mnths on a thumb rule. Again, I understand its on a case by case basis.
@KabAyegaMeraGc - question for you: if you were qualified for EB-2, why did you in first place filed for EB-3? Looking at your profile, you may would have been just about to get your GC if you would have been in EB-2 bucket. Just curious. Also, what is your lawyer's take on this whole porting thing?
