I have an nre repatriable demat acct thru icici - it took all of 5 mnths and over 30 calls to cust svc to get the acct opened. The acct was mainly for utilizing the indian stock opts given by employer. You can trade as an NRI but online trading is not available for US residents on nre demat accts - u can however trade thru a broker like sharekhan etc.
All dividends are credited only to your NRE savings a/c - not to regular savings a/c. Any stock sale requires an authorization number which the broker can provide. Taxes on capital gains must be paid only if you sell within a year of purchase - the percentage is the same as for Indian citizens. There is no tax on long term cap gains
Since we do not have any taxable income in India, and many NRIs make charitable contributions regularly, the tax liabilities are usually not very high
Also there is a very informative section on sify.com for NRI taxation. You are not required to file any tax returns if you are in NRI status and are within the exemption limits.
Thanks Ramaonline.
Which broker do you use to do the online trading ?

Does anyone know whether hard copy of Labor approval is required for filing Form 1-140. My Labor status shows certified, but my lawyer is conveying that they have not received my hard copy of approval to process Form I-140 and 485. Can some one tell me if we can take a print out of Labor approval from online status and use it for filing 140.

Can we get License renewed using EAD and not having H1?.
Driver's licenses are issued by state and governed by state laws and regulations. Check your state DMV and find out.
In about 12 states, even illegals can obtain driver's licenses. However, most states are tightening rules and need to see your I-94 to prove your legal presence.
EAD is for work authorization and doesnt prove legal presence. Legal presence is proved by I-94. Regardless of how you enter into USA, with H1 stamp or with AP, you will have an I-94.
In any case, check your DMV.

Chandu,
Although you bring up interesting discussion, but these stories about Neelima are really old. Dec 2005 ?
Did you see anything recent on her ? Any updates ?
As for handling these situatsions being diplomatic is best but that is easier said than done.
Also, I think we are much more likely to face these types of problems with small companies which are in remote areas.
Big corporations are much much better. I have been lucky in this regards that I have mostly worked with big corps.
These companies actually go to extra lenghts to appreciate diversity.
In fact last year in my current client Indians organized big Diwali festival celebrations to
give American people a chance to enjoy Indian food and learn about our culture.
Its not all bad. There are some very very good facets as well.
Yes - I agree. I worked in big and small corps. In one of the corps I worked we used to have a friday noon lunch where every country person must talk about his culture and discuss, play their country music etc ...

I dont think that its a good idea to ignore someone who is raising some opposing voice. This is a forum where anyone can raise his or her concerns. I dont think that anyone over here has some hidden agendas or is playing against the main idea of making immigration easier.
We want to encourage debates, debates are good for our cause it gives us a food of thought.
just my 2 cents on this discussion that has heated up a bit...

How bad it can be for those with approved I-140?
Earlier it was 140K times 7% = 9800 with everybody and now it is 90K times 10% = 9000 with most of them gone into new merit based system.
I still don't get it?
Good Point! this is actually more visas for same number of folks. Approved or soon-to-be-approved I-140 folks (like me) will get GC on time or faster and others with Maters degree will get GC in 1 or 2 years, and rest must have got admission to MS by now. and there will be some loophole to bank on which will be realized by our stupid Joe after a few years.

You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf years. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.

Thanks unitednations,
The information was very helpful for me and others as well.
I think my education evaluation and MCA degree doesn't specifically state that my Master's degree was a three year degree course.
I now have a letter from University stating that it was a three year degree course and we are going for a fresh education evaluation.
I think the lessons learned here is to make sure that the degree and/or EE should clearly state the duration of course.
Any other suggestion or past success is highly appreciated.
Also, my RFE respond date is April 22, 2011 and not March 22nd as mentioned in my orginal post.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I personally have used AP three times within one year. Two trips to India were of 6 weeks and 4 weeks duration and one to Canada for 4 days. I have never faced any problem, having used three different entry points. During my latest entry just a couple of weeks back I wasn't even asked any question at all. In fact my GC was approved while I was out of the country. Just your bad luck to run into this officer, I guess.

I think your plan may work out just fine. I would make a couple of suggestions:
1. If you are taking LOA from original employer, for practical purposes (for USCIS), you are not employed with that employer any more (they go by pay stubs). But if doing so helps to avoid revocation of 140, go ahead and do it that way.
2. Because you will actually get your pay check from new employer, you are employed by them (and you will work on EAD with them, make sure that this is mentioned on your I-9 form). No matter how much ignorant your employer is, they will have to have I-9 on file and it must have your EAD (not H1).
3. After doing this, you will be on I 485 pending status (no longer on H status), and so make sure you have current EAD and AP all the time.
4. If something goes wrong with your I 485 (very unlikely); you will have to leave the country and enter back on H visa and work for H visa sponsoring employer (probably your old employer).
5. It is perfectly fine to not file AC21. AC21 is needed only if you do not plan to join original sponsoring employer after GC approval. However, if you do want to file AC21, you do not need much documentation from your new employer. It just needs the simple letter stating your job position as a "physician" and brief job duties (briefer the better!) and salary (should be proportional or higher). If you do not file AC21, you may just keep that documentation on file with your attorney (which I would do to be on safe side). The implication of having this is as follows:
--If you have this documentation (even if not filed with USCIS), at the time of approval of your GC you will have the option of just staying with new employer or going back to original employer.
--If you do not have this, you will have to go back to original employer after GC approval with a "good faith intention of permanent job".
PM me if you have questions about what I said above, and I will be happy to talk to you.
Good Luck.
very helpful reply..I guess i will go ahead and take the plunge next year ...who knows if the stars are right we may all be greened soooooon.!

When I called TSC this morning, the automated voice gave the good news - our GC were finally approved on 11/4 after a 7 year wait. Online case update shows the approval, but 140 status still says received and pending.
Congratulations! How come it got approved when your dates are not current?

Those who are using EAD have to use AP, as H1 is no longer valid!! This whole correct/incorrect thing is useless as these rules were made when AOS processing time was less than a year. People with older PD who dont expect to get GC in coming 2-3 years and already working using EAD have to use AP. This was even the case when H1 used to be valid for six year only and once someone got EAD/AP they were using it happily during 2004-2005.
