    Thanks for the post, i am interested too, i am not a pattern day trader but a normal trader as of now.

    Could you please post how this has affected your tax return filings, do we need to do something extra while filing tax returns if one is a pattern day trader?

    Whatever you earn from Trading is taxable as your earned income. On the flip side if you ve made losses there is a provision for some tax deduction as well . Contact a good Tax consultant

    I believe that I will pay tax only if I earn and I will definately earn more than I pay tax

    Also it suggest that there should be minimum equity balance of 25K, are they referring to the value of stocks...

    Yes for day trading you need 25k but you dont need to have 25 k . For starters I trade something where I buy EOB today and sell off SOB(START) of business tommorow

    I recommed reading day trading concept at wiki I will post some rules as well as ways to trade like PDT with a smaller account

    Yes as you said i too was thinking about it, there is only so much one can earn because in my situation i cannot shift employer, nor does the current one pay me enough or is willing too, so we all must look at alternate sources of income (but take our own risk and decision)....

    Welcome aboard friend same situation here

    I started trading with sharebuilder recently.... and they did give me a 50$ coupon to start with...

    Thats great ...I know a few trading sites offering very cheap trading fees

    As pappu said, yes we need to share such info with our fellow folks so that everyone gets benefitted and if we make money we can contribute atleast a small part of it to IV.... (win-win for all).

    There is so much information to share....

    Thanks IV core group. Signed up for $20/month. Please continue your efforts.

    I am from Chinese community and registered IV just a couple of week ago. There was no email message to me regarding this movement, and some other registerd users may encounter the same situation. You may need to resend them. Only when I opened IV website yesterday did I know this recurring program and current situation. I am assuming IV is the only group who are pushing to get the I-485 relief for high skilled workers with advanced degree. There are MANY MANY Chinese in the same situation but I guess there might not have so many Chinese in IV. IV core group may think of some better way to reach more Chinese or other communities. Basically, we are on the same boat for the same direction. Better to concentrate all resources to reach the same goal. I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.

    Attended 2010 event.
    Plan to attend 2011 advocacy event.

    This was in 2007, there is no rally in 2011 (just powerful advocacy from grassroots), but every thing in here holds true today too.....


    by chanduv23

    Subject: A peaceful rally at Washington DC by Highly Skilled Workers

    Immigration Voice (ImmigrationVoice.org - Home (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) is a non profit
    grassroots advocacy group working to alleviate the issues of Highly
    Skilled Foreign Workers who are stuck in the Employment Based Green
    Card Process stuck in Bureaucratic Logjams.

    Immigration Voice is conducting a peaceful rally in Washington DC on
    September 18th, 2007 (Tuesday).

    You can/must participate in the rally if
    (1) You are in various stages of the Green Card Process
    (2) Belong to a retrogressed group
    (3) Highly Skilled worker (Physicians, Engineers on H1B visa, J1
    Waiver, L1 etc�) and planning to apply/already applied for a Green
    Card
    (4) If your families are divided by backlogs and retrogression.
    Thousands of families are being potentially torn apart due to their
    kids �aging out�. These children are victims of something they have no
    control over and they are constantly forgotten.
    (5) Current students studying in various universities (from other
    countries) but will be applying for Green Card soon or later
    (6) If you already have a Green Card or a Citizen, you can provide
    support and encouragement

    Please make it a point to attend the rally. Please invite your
    friends, relatives, co-workers and colleagues to the Rally. Please
    spread this message through mailing lists, media contacts, Orkut and
    other social networking media. If you are students, please send this
    email to various student organizations. If you work for companies,
    please send this message to managers, co-workers, employers etc.

    If you are not already a member at Immigration Voice, please become a
    member today. It is easy and free!

    Please follow this link for more details on the Rally
    immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11428

    A lot of people may be wondering why should we even bother about this.

    Some FAQs

    (1) What's all this? Immigration Voice? Rally? Why should I care?
    A. There is a political angle to issues that we are all facing. The
    system was designed long time back and has not been flexible and with
    the actual demand more than the capacity it is in a messed up state.
    No one has made attempts to fix the mess and vote bank politics are
    creating further mess.

    (2) Why no one talks about these things?
    a. The nature of this issue is very complex. Unless one falls into
    this pit, the nature of this issue cannot be understood
    b. A lot of people do not want to handle the truth and reality
    c. Perception - without looking at the real picture, lot of people
    assume things are fine

    (3) Why should I take these issues seriously, my lawyer will take care
    of these?
    a. Immigration lawyers assist and handle the paperwork, this mess is
    beyond their control or scope or even the scope of USCIS and related
    government agencies
    b. Immigration lawyers are your service providers and you are their
    client, they will talk only business to you, there is no need for them
    to explain to you the mess you are in

    (4) After the July visa bulletin fiasco, I did submit my 485 petition,
    and I will get an EAD/AP so why must I bother?
    a. EAD/AP were designed to be interim benefits (only for few months
    until someone can get a Green Card), their usage has limitations and
    will lead to further issues
    b. Severe retrogression will hit in coming fiscal years. India, China,
    Mexico, Philippines, Eb3, and eb2, and ROW eb3 will all be affected,

    c. Anti immigration lobby is targeting H1b tech workers, at the same
    time a lot of lobbying organizations are working hard to make the
    system unworkable for e.g.. Durbin Grassley amendments may appear
    anytime
    d. Until you get a Green Card in Hand, EAD is not the best viable
    alternative for work and AP is definitely not the best travel
    document.

    (5) Why Immigration Voice? What is the agenda?
    a. Immigration Voice is the only grassroots organization working hard
    on these issues
    b. Immigration Voice's earlier campaigns were a huge success and sent strong signals to government agencies and law makers

    So why not start working on helping yourself and helping your fellow
    immigrants?

    Please spread the message, and take active interest in the event.

    There are thousands of anecdotes that I could share. My best is the look of shock on one of the IV member's face when I asked him to escort one of the lawmakers who attended the Monday evening reception dinner. We couldn't believe that we see him on C-Span and he is standing next to us and supporting our cause.
    - Can you imagine the feeling when a lawmakers says I know about you guys. You are doing a good job. This shows we are visible in the Hill.
    - I felt great when I saw the confidence on the smiling faces of IV members when they came out of lawmakers meetings. For those who missed this historic opportunity, I can't even begin to explain the change in mindset from the initial apprehension about visiting a lawmaker's office to, "Why do I only have three meetings set up, I want to fill in for others IV members who might not have shown up due to various reasons"

    For those demanding immediate results when they themselves might not have showed up at the rally the answer is, we will get our green cards eventually. There is absolutely no doubt about that in my mind but these experiences and memories will be cherished for a long time. This is also important to me. This new "experience capital" which was initially present among just the core members has trickled down to other members, we are growing in strength and reach our goal soon.

    I am glad I went for three days. I wish I could stay longer.

    So you will be on H1 till conclusion. Best Luck.


    Yes, I dont really see that as a problem right away (though I am aware of the risks!). I have completed only 4 years of my H1B and with approved I140, I should be able to extend another 3 years, (if required).

    BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?

    I am just wondering if I could file 485 (if my PD becomes current and stays current only for a short period as it happened in July) and have my CP case also alive.

    My CP case is already in Consulate (after processing Form 230) which means I am just awaiting an interview. 485 is to safeguard my GC against any unforeseen odds and risks. Is that possible?

    Or, can I file another LC (under EB2) and once I140 is approved (using prior PD), can I interfile (in CP)?

    I just wanted to have the safety net that 485 provides or move to EB2 so that interview can be expected in the next year or so -if my new I140 is approved by then!

    Any recommendations and is this technically possible?

    CALIFORNIA IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM FILES CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST USCIS ON BEHALF OF IMMIGRANTS

    Posted on: 6/20/2008

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Los Angeles � Reeves & Associates, A Professional Law Corporation filed a class action lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court, Central District CA, Case Number SACV08-688 JVX (SHx) on behalf of tens of thousands of immigrant families whose adult children have been wrongfully denied of visas. Attorneys for the families are seeking to compel the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (�USCIS�) to act in accordance with the provision of Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) that enables children to reunite with their families more quickly.

    Prior to CSPA children who reached the age of 21 were no longer eligible to obtain an immigrant visa with the rest of their family. These children became known as �age-outs.� However, Congress enacted Section 3 of CSPA, codified as INA � 203(h)(3), to keep children together with their parents. Specifically, this provision allowed children to automatically convert the visa petition and retain the original filing date � known as the priority date � after the child had aged out. As such, an aged-out child, who is a derivative beneficiary of the visa petition of his parent, can reunite with their family faster by utilizing their parent�s earlier priority date. As of today, USCIS has not only failed to comply with INA � 203(h)(3), but has also failed to promulgate regulations or issue policy memorandum regarding this provision of law.

    �This case affects tens of thousands of immigrant families,� said Robert L. Reeves, founder and Managing Attorney of Reeves & Associates, APLC. �A child abroad who aged-out is eligible under CSPA for an immigrant visa, and if the child is in the United States, he or she will be able to adjust to legal resident status,� explained Mr. Reeves.

    The class action lawsuit presents two different classes of aggrieved individuals. Nancy Miller, a partner with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, describes the two classes as �those who filed petitions with requests for retention of the parent�s original priority date whose petitions were denied and those who have received no response at all to their requests for retention of the original priority date.� In both cases parents remain separated from their children.

    Although USCIS has granted some visa petitions and permitted retention of the earlier priority dates pursuant to INA � 203(h)(3) to some, there appears to be no uniform policy from USCIS as a whole. Jeremiah Johnson, a partner with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, said �the lack of any regulations or even policy memorandum has lead to arbitrary and inconsistent decision-making affecting thousands on a global level.� Joyce Komanapalli, an associate with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, added �USCIS�s refusal to issue visa petitions with the original priority date is at odds with the language, structure, history and purpose of the Child Status Protection Act.�

    �It is incomprehensible why USCIS would deny these requests given the plain language of the statute and the Congressional history of CSPA.� said Mr. Reeves.

    The class action lawsuit is seeking to compel USCIS to properly adjudicate all cases filed under CSPA, or INA � 203(h)(3), and comply with the requirements of retaining the parent�s original priority date in subsequent petitions filed by the parent.

    Got greened finally. Just checked today morning. (Both me and my wife status changed to CPO)

    It shows the CPO on 08/05/2010. No e-mail /text message

    Was cheking my mobile once in a while to get text message from USCIS, but no luck, may be due to their system isssues yesterday.

    PD: Jan 13th,2006
    140 AD: Oct 17th,2006 ( from TSC)

    I-485 Filed myself, sent the application on (06/30/2007) to reach NSC on 07/02/2007.
    It was transferred to TSC.
    RD: 07/02/2007, ND: 09/04/2007.
    (Did not used attorney for I-485 as I thought they might mess up the application due to July Fiasco)

    Applied 3 EADs for me and my Spouse. Applied one AP in 2009.

    Actions taken by me:
    Spoke to IO on August 2nd and he told that Case assigned to officer on July 28th.
    Sent an e-mail to tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov on August3rd. (Got reply on Aug 5th, that case is reviewd by officer)
    Sent an e-mail to Streamline.Tsc@dhs.gov on August 3rd. (No reply yet)
    Raised SR on August4th (No response yet). (I don't think it made any difference).

    Applied for AP (on July 26th) though i don't need now. [thought it may trigger GC approval, Check was en-cashed on 08/02 but no receipt yet]

    Working with the same employer for the last 4.5 years..

    I went to Infopass twice in last 2 years...but they did not revealed any info.

    My GC journey ends after 6 years of arriving in US (on H1).

    Will be contributing to IV soon...:)

    We do not get any attention, because we do not raise our issues and we are not vocal about the problems we face. Now granted, we are a small minority compared to the huge lobby and muscle power the undocumented have. But we need to educate the lawmakers about us. We face real issues and our lives have been held in limbo. We have done everything right, played by the rules, stood in the line, pay taxes, contribute to the society. To get this message across, we need to visit lawmakers offices,and educate them.

    This advocacy and raising awareness is an ongoing effort, it cannot be a one day or one month thing. We will not get anywhere overnight, perceptions have to change, there is a whole lot of dynamics at play. The timing, legislative calender and politics in general. But we as a group need to stand up, talk about the issues we face and have our voices heard.

    As every one here knows, the visa movements based on how many LC approvals in a perticular period but not based on the previous analasis. After PERM is introduced, most people started applying in EB2 than EB3 because of many reasons.
