I have had Lingo since 2005 and have never faced any issues with it. Call quality has always been excellent and although their CS used to be pretty horrible, of late it has definitely improved.
I was on the Unlimited USA/Canada plan till late last year when I heard about Unlimited Asia for 29.95 w 2.9c/min to India. I switched over then and they credited the plan change fee of 9.99. Couple of months ago when they launched the Hello World plan for 21.95 w the same 2.9c/min to India I called and switched over and there were no issues. I did have to call once again to get the Plan change fee of 9.99 credited since I think their software applies it automatically but I didnt have any issues.
2 days ago I called to switch over to the Unlimited Plan and it was done, no issues. I probably will have to call after next month's invoice to get the Plan change fee credited.
Overall no issues. Ping me if you need a referral.
Can you answer "tempgc" question that calling from cell phone is allowed by using Lingo account? are you doing it right now? if yes did you see any call quality difference from cell phone to calling from lingo phone directly?

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and a non technical (law) guy. So, please pardon me for any mistake in words i put together.
Here I wish to discuss and invite suggestion on a issue, which happened with one of my friend coming from INDIA.
That guy works for an IT company in INDIA as a software engineer.
He had B1 Visa with him. He was travelling to Philadelphia for 4 weeks (1st time flier to USA) for assessment (technical) of a new business proposal.
He was sent to second level scrutiny at the immigration.
At the second level, he was asked for clients contact (after taking his statement - that he is here for initial assessment), which he did not have, so he gave contact of his company's local (USA) sales manager number, who confirmed to my friends statement (on purpose of visit).
Immigration office then took client’s contact from sales officer and contacted the client.
The guy from the client side gave a contradictory statement saying, my friend is there for work (fine tuning and all).
This led to immediate interrogation of my friend for over hours. he was not allowed to contact\inform anybody. He was not given chance to prove non-guilty.
he was immediately booked under section 212(a) and 235(b).
His visa was cancelled and was scheduled to return to INDIA.
He was kept in a jail cell for 26 hours with no food.
He wanted one chance to clarify with client on confusion, which was denied.
After there decision and signature on statement\order, he was allowed two calls (one to local contact and one to family). This was after almost 14 - 16 hours.
He wasnt treated well there and was not even allowed to move\stand in the cell.
Now here, I wish to understand, how can we get this order reversed?
What all actions we can take to repair the things.
Unfortunately the client guy screwed your friend. There are lot of indian companies sending people on the pre-text of training or business assesment with B1 Visa. But actually they are coming here for work. Though the client is billed for the hours like any consultant (like H1B, GC or USC), they do not pay the employee other than the per deim of $40-50 and hotel accomodation.
I am not sure how much the client has the knowledge about the B1 restriction as they are billed at hourly rate. In fact our Indian companies hiding the information from the client. Since its illegal to work in B1 Visa, your friend may not be able to get the waiver for 5 years. But I am not sure if he is still in immigration cell.
H1B deportion is a different thing from working on B1 visa.

alled senator Cornyn office to thank him and try again in 2007. CAlling senators a day or two before alone will not help our cause. We have to call them even in times likes these when nothing is happenning to push our cause.
BTW I also used the "Invite a friend" feature to refer 2 friends to IV. I will keep following up with them until they register. Just sending email is not good enough. Hope we reach the 10,000 membership by year end

How about making groups in that rally... Each group will carry their profession related board in front of the group like 'MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS', 'COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS', 'ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS' etc.,etc.,
It is just my thought to bring attention to media that Immigrants are from all profession....in this GC limbo.

I am not sure if people who bought houses in 2008 would get anything because i am not sure if the current bill replaces the earlier one or this bill is addition to the older bill. If the older bill still holds good than definately we get $7500 0% loan for 15 years, if not that we don't get anything.
Thanks,
R.
I did my tax returns and I got $7500 as 0% loan, which is repayable in 15 years ($500 each year) starting from 2011 tax year. I bought my house in may 2008.

Even if you start your GC now, it would take couple of months to file the PERM. In this market i dont think its possible. Also you need to have the PERM approved/ pending for atleast 365 days to get the 1 year extension. If I-140 you can get three year extension.
There is premium processing available if you are nearing your 6th year H1B. But for that you need to have the approved PERM to file for I-140. If you get these things done and get the H1B extension, you dont have to go back.
I thought you only needed to submit your PERM application before the "365-days" (of the date that you'd be on H1B for 6 yrs) - I didn't think you needed your PERM to be approved too!
With RIR I know that all you had to do was apply for Labor Certification before that "365 day period".
Also, if you have been out of the country (on vacations, work-related travel, etc.), that time can be "deducted" when computing the 6-yr period. Meaning, if you have been out of the US for a grand total of 30days (for whatever reason), your "6 yrs on H1B" ends on June 15th instead of May 16th.
All in all, a VERY good idea to consult a good immigration lawyer before you decide which way to go.

Ooyala is talking about the web I am talking about cable TV. This is not about video through the Web. I am talking about the regular television on cable TV.
I will do a little bit more reading to see if there is any commanlity.
Thanks for the URL and the feedback
They are patenting video technology (if they are smart), so that way video sent over the internet, TV and other media can also be covered. Good luck.

Why is TSC not processing concurrently filed July 07 140's. But it is approving non-concurrent 140 from '08 as recently filed as May' 08 (lots of users can be found in ). I heard about Plus Piolt in TSC but how can it not process 140's for a year and what about FIFO rule. Should the concurrent filers have to go through another nightmare as BPC's. There are huge stakes at risk for concurrent filers if 140 is not approved.
1. Cannot use AC21.
2. Not elgible for 2 year EAD's
3. Risk of loosing PD date.
Can IV bring this gross violation of FIFO at TSC to limelight in media or to AILA. This is another pathetic BS by USCIS (make there own rules without any legality to it).
Mine was filed concurrently too and is stuck. As my luck would have it, the online status won't even lookup my I140 and just gives "error - case retrieval failed".
The worst part is that USCIS won't even confirm or release any info on the so called Plus Pilot Program.

RollingStone,
If you have nothing useful to contribute, please don't waste your time and everyones time here. People here come here during difficult times and your negative comments don't make anyone feel better.
Since you bring this up, I would like to let you know that I have done a cash contributed IV once in 2007 and had also sent several emails to my friends at that time requesting them contribute. This is when USCIS agreed to accept 485 applications. Looking at your infuriating posts on the board I am wondering what productive role have you played here? Please don't blindly talk when you don't know my history.

My lawyer said he filed July 2nd. (Mailed the application).
He has been my lawyer for the last 6 1/2 years, He is a pretty conservative person and wouldn't do anything harmful or risky.
so I trust his decisions.

I am still trying to understand why H1 would be useless. Because it is a non-immigrant status wouldn't that help in case of I-140 revocation and eventual 485 denial , that would serve as back-up to stay here and fight for MTR in case the 485 denial is in error on their part because they did not send NOID or my file did not get updated with AC21 letter . Don't most of the lawyers recommend that people try to stay on H1 rather than use EAD. In my case I am principal applicant and my wife derivative based on my AOS.
When 485 is denied, you have to file an MTR immediately. Generally within 10 days of filing an MTR, your status changes from denied to pending (as it was befor denial).
As 485 denial does not cancel your EAD, you can still use it for those 2-3 weeks when your 485 status is denied. And so the H-1 is useless.

hmm.. that may or may not be the reason for them to deny your extension.
Your comapny is not in good standing. This usually is a problem in i140 and 485 stage. In fact, you may have a hard time getting your I140 approved. If they laid off any employees in the past year, then you have to show why your job is still around. Is this a desi company. I am wondering why they only approved your extension only for 30 some days back in September. Also, how long is the new extension of h1 is good for. I have never hear of partial (35 days) extension approval. The only problem in leaving the US is this, you are saying your compnay is not in good standing. The consulate officer is surely going to ask you abou it. You will have to explain to him what is going on. Chance are that they may create an issue abou it. The biggest problem usually is ability for the company to pay their employees. They may ask how many employees they have. Worst comes to worst, you can goto Canada or Mexico. But for that you have to let the US consulate send a copy of the approved h1 to that consulate.
My friend, I am from Pakistan. So I know that If I ever have to leave to get visa stamp, I can kiss my Us carrer good bye. I have hear some horror stories, where people are waiting for year or more. NOt sure how it is in your country, but its best to get it taken care of here. You need to get your congressmen and senators involved. Believe me they helped me a lot last year.
I will pray for you and hope that your problem is solved here only.
Good Luck!
The reason to extend 35 days, I think my lawyer failed to provide the critical evidence, which proofs my LC is pending and over 365 days, when filing H-1 extension last year. The new extension good through May,2008.
The company's financial standing could be the reason they made such decision. Actually, I am holding US Master degree, because company is unwillingly to pay me at that level, I have to file under EB 3 category.
Definately, I am not going back to China to get Visa stamp. Take your advice, try to get my congressman help.
And, I would like to thank all of you providing me valuable opinion.

Hi Experts,
My brother came to US on H1 on 22nd Sep and applied for SSN in first week of October. Its been almost 3 weeks and so far he has not received his SSN number. When he contacted the SSN department, they told him that his Immigration Info (i believe its entered at Port of Entry Information which is EWR - Newark Liberty Intl. Airport in his case) is not yet updated. All they (SSN dept) gave him was a letter stating they received the application and have to wait.
He has an assignment/project waiting/starting next week but cannot work without the SSN (need to complete background check and drug test as per the client policy). His employer he trying get some info on how to expedite this case but so far he could not help him much.
Usually people get their SSN within two weeks. His friend who landed at the same airport two days after him, got his SSN a week back. Has anyone faced similar situation, if so, please let me know if he can do anything to expedite the process. Is there a way one can contact the Immigration Dept or any Dept which can verify his information and update the same so that he can get a SSN.
Thanks in advance for all comments/suggestions.
I think, waiting is the only remedy which I know. You already contacted SSN office and get reply as well. As far as work is concerned, many companies allow person to work when they produce the copy of the receipt of SSN application (Given by SS department). For this particular employment why do not you try that?

this thread is very useful...
almost made the mistake of letting my spouse to travel out of the US. We have applied for AP, and she planned to go to India ahead of time, and I was to leave later to India with approved AP papers........
according to this thread and the law, if she leaves the country before the ap is approved, it means that she is abandoning it, right?

3 times the minimum wage for a skilled -worker is not unreasonable at all in the US. It comes to roughly 47K. How reasonable this factor of three in Europe I don't know. 60 (??) days of paid vacation, great culture and food (experience limited to Spain, Italy and Switzerland) sounds great actually. If only Blue card were a reality. On the other hand I love this country and the opportunities I got here to pursue my dream.
47k ? I dont know what field you are in, but in my field the minimum wage is a lot higher than 47k.
