Anyone who stayed more than 183 days in 2008 here in US, must declare all their accounts in home country or any other country, if at any time, the cumulative value in those accounts exceeded $10,000. IRS extended the declaration deadline to September 23, 2009.
I came to know about this today only and I am planning to submit this as soon as possible. Please follow the following links to educate yourself.

FAQs Regarding Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=148845,00.html)
Sorry for my ignorance. But, do person on H1 also had to declare his assets and income in his home country? This looks absurd. While on one side US government does not think us either citizens or permanent residents, we are here on a temporary visa program. Then why should we declare our assets in home country.
Or may be this rule is for only those who are on GC or already citizens here. Then it makes some sense.
Can some one who know about this rule put some light here.
Thanks.

It would help to know that caste was called verna (= "color") in India; see this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_caste_system).
That is the literal meaning. From the link above, in pratical operation:
The varna of a newborn child is determined by Indian astrological definition. These varna are not hereditary; they are random and determined by astrological coordinates. A Sudra child shall be born in the "Brahmin" varna. Varnas of a child born in Africa or the U.S.A. can be determined by this astrological definition.
Hindu scriptures, including the Bhagvad Geeta and Vedas, discuss it. (In fact, the Brahmins in those times proclaimed that if a Shudra hears a word from the Rig Veda, molten lead should be poured into his ears.)
The link you provided itself contradicts this.
The Vedas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas) place very little importance on the caste system, mentioning caste only rarely and in a cursory manner. In the Vedic period (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_period), there was no prohibition against the Shudras (which later on became the low-castes) listening to the Vedas or participating in any religious rite.
And here is text from the Yajurveda calling to Shudras:
That I to all the people may address this salutary speech,
To priest and nobleman, S�dra and Arya, to one of our own
kin and to the stranger.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/wyv/wyvbk26.htm
So it doesn't really matter that the term "caste" was introduced by the Portugese. Casteism is a form of apartheid, and has led to violence throughout the history of India, with huge implications in its national politics; see this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste-related_violence_in_India) and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_politics_in_India).
It matters immensely. I was implying that caste as described in Western literature is an European framework created to rationalize what the Europeans saw in India. And this framework was scientifically justified using race theories invented by the Europeans.
This is a long article, but worth reading.
http://www.britishempire.co.uk/article/castesystem.htm
Some key highlights:
It becomes obvious that British conceptions of racial purity were interwoven with these judgements of people based on caste when reactions to censuses are examined.
and
The most obvious, widespread feature that was available to the British was the institution of caste. However, this institution in and of itself, was outside of British experience. Therefore it was necessary, if this key was to be used, that an understanding of caste be attained. The tools at hand were the social sciences and the apparent key to the social sciences was statistics. Among the social sciences that were popular in the 19th century were phrenology, physical anthropology and later, sociology and eugenics.
and finally
It therefore becomes plain that the British and in this case an influential official, saw caste as being motivated by the principle of race purity. From this point it is a very short intellectual leap for the British to equate cast and race. That is, caste as a system created a system that preserved race purity and therefore castes represent that preserved purity. This notion is further confirmed by Hodson in 1937 when he states that class, racial and linguistic groups may be visually differentiated.
Regarding "Macaulay's Children," the term was indeed derogatory (like the "Brown Sahabs") before India's independence. However, nowadays one can easily say that we all (Western-style educated, trying to settle outside India) are actually Macaulay's Children, and that should be nothing to be ashamed of.
The meaning is one of disloyalty to one's country and one's heritage. This does not stem solely from education, language or where you live.
Besides caste and religion, India has had rampant discrimination based on gender and region--and all those discriminations are other forms of racism.
As far as caste and religion goes, Indian society is recovering from the rigid framework imposed during colonial times with obvious signs of the restoration of social mobility. And neither gender, nor region based discrimination are an exclusively Indian problem as you imply.

I talked to my attorney this morning and we are going to file a separate case in EB-2. I have seen many people cutting lines labor substitution, illegals getting married/cutting a deal to US citizen just to get green cards and after 8 years, I think I can not just wait and think that someday something good would happen. It will cost me 5000-7000 USD to re-file my entire green card process but I thik it is more painful to just watch this non sense happening around me and not do anything about it.

and seriously I never spend so much words and so much time in replying to someone and that person not getting the point.
First, I never said I hate the labor in India. I do hate the lack of dignity of labor there.
You are forcing us to believe that you do not understand dignity of labor.
And definitely do not want to google PPP.
Yes, you should complain to the States Child and Family care services.
Also check for your City's Child care/nanny association, most providers/nannies are registered with them. And most people check with them to check any -ve entries.
A Fingerprint based Criminal background check costs 20 to 30 bucks in most states and people are okay with it, bcos most schools/day cares have that procedure mandatory before they hire anyone.
You should also call the references they provide. All states have a 'Offenders in your area' website, where you can check for that person.
I can say all this cos I can say we are 'have seen it, been there' kinds.
your underpay explanation is at a tangent, with the only part touching the topic is 'underpay'.
Believe me, you cannot bring a person from India on one of those visas and get away by only paying her $12K a year for a full time employment, legally speaking.
Well, maybe if you are a meatpacking plant with legally having lobbyists working for you with the State senate and the Federal Senate, you might import the maid for the plant and make her do the dishes for you. Still a maybe. Still illegal.
You are overlooking the underlying problems in India, ie. poverty and overpopulation and trying to resolve it by exploiting it.
an engineer with a family of 4 in India makes Rs 15000 per month. If I offer him 4 times that salary for a 8 hour full time job, here in the states, does that make me a mahatma?
Reddog ,
I strongly believe you are the one who is not getting the point , repeatedly made by the frustrated /concerned mother and you are trying all sort of theoretical argument by that you may prove your knowledge of hedging / foreign currency pricing or in next post even how to come up with LIBOR .
Here you need HEART ( specially of Mother) to understand the issue not the book knowledge you gained thru Google or any other means. I had tried to point out in my earlier post also but in vain, as you are so obsessed to teach every one about PPP and Labor dignity.
Please please please If you have any suggestion to help/solve the situation post here otherwise (one more time please ) ignore the post.

Very interesting arguments!!
I do have a question. Let's say Company A has a contract to build a very complex forecasting system. This company wants to get a Math Ph.d from a foreign country, because the contract it has got involves very specialized skill not found anywhere in US. However this person is under contract to his/her company and cannot accept outside independent employment. Company A which is the contractor is forced to sign a contract with the person's company.
The person needs to be onsite to interview the Business Stakeholders to model the rules correctly.
Per Durbin's rule, there's no way Company A can complete the contract.
Rules need to be enforced uniformly and CIS in it's bureaucratic haze does a brilliant job of being blind to a person's need or qualifications.
This is a rarity, but I do concur with my anti-desi consulting companies colleagues that the norm is to get a very average techie. However your behavior is no different than the NumbersUSA or Prog Guild fanatics/whiners and it reeks of "Let me in and shut the door".
Yes immigration needs a boundary, but why isn't anybody doing anything about green card lottery where a high school passout with access to the Internet can get a green card or the humongous family based immigration route better used to staff 711/Dunkin Donuts than truly reuniting families.
There is a difference angel...I am not against hiring foreign workers and bringing them in the country... I am against the fraudulent practices employed by these desi consulting companies and the massive exploitation... Bringing someone from India with a fake degree.. then lying on the resume... and these lies are massive... a guy who landed yesterday will be shown to have 7-8 years experience and Masters degree in from a US university... The guy would then be interviewed by the desi companys own person who will get a cut from the new employees hourly wages... Then other consultants would be then given the new persons work and the new guy will be slowly trained... meanwhile he is paid measly wages while everyne else shares the booty from the new hunt! How can you not be disgusted!! Family based imigration and gc lottery cannot justify the desi companys fraudulent activities!

Based on my last few visits, on any given flight from India, there are at least 30-40folks with H1 or AP etc. By that measure, that will make a lot of number in a given day for all POEs combined. …and that also from just from 1 country. So obviously those with all documents ARE GETTING in.
So even 5% sent back will be at least 100plus folks sent back every day. There will be a complete uproar if that happens.
I think cases of guys being sent back from POE are too miniscule to jump to conclusions....if at all true.
It is quite possible that those with incomplete docs or with issues (like no job, paystubs to prove) are being more scrutinized and not spared like before....but nothing panicky here for those with all docs.
Personally in my many visits, I never was asked any document. And yes, I used EWR most.

Good questions. Looking forward to hearing from some one withe details.
To add to the questions. Is there any thing that we as a group can do some thing to improve this situation?
I have a question for IV core group. Is there something IV is planning to do to help the EB3-I cause? Before you answer, please read the bullets below
1. I am not looking for answers/responses that cater towards why we are in EB3. I am not concerned about the past, I am looking forward towards the future.
2. I am aware of the campaigns (bills introduced, letters mailed and faxed, etc). I am aware because I participated in each of them financially as well as with my efforts/time.
3. Any campaign that bears fruition is going to distribute benefits in the order of EB1 -> EB2 ROW -> EB2 I -> EB3 ROW and then if some is still remaining then EB3 I.
To repeat myself, my question is whether IV plans to do anything specific for the EB3 India and China group (quite a few of whom have been staunch supporters of whatsoever IV has done till now). An example would be "press for recapture AND apply the recaptured visas in the reverse order starting from the severely retrogressed category of EB3 I and C". Is that or something similar, that IV can do for its loyal EB3 members?
Thanks.

Normally I am very optimistic but this proposal is very big one "In order to accomplish this goal, a green card will be immediately available to foreign students with an advanced degree from a United States institution of higher education in a field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, and who possess an offer of employment from a United States employer in a field related to their degree."
ha! they r proposing forming a commission for EB green card.... which depends on the unemployment rate..... it will take many years for unemployment rate to come down..... it means with all these goodies..... it will take 10-15 years to fix this backlog.....
1 good thing is the removal of per country limits..... this is a big deal & it was about time..... we all know that only 1 group worked on removal of per country limits.... good work

it looks like they are not sparing the L1s from Indian MNC's either. Companies like Infy, Wipro, Satyam etc are having their L1 extensions' denied. One of the common reason they say is that you are working at the client's location, so the job profile is more like a H-1B worker, and not an L1 "Intracompany" transfer.
I know few companies like TCS have opened their own offices in NJ where they have L1 people come and work. I wonder if that's due to compliance with L1 requirements or what....

There are around 1500+ members on the forum at this time out of 20k+ members. All our members are willing to spent time posting messages and speculating what will happen in next VB. But they don't have time to post their video. The members don't have time to send Thank You Cards. Four people deserves thank you card and members don't have manners to send a thank you note. This is unacceptable behaviour and please change your attitude.
Don't blame Immigration Voice if you see a bill with no amendments for us. Sometimes we have worked like a mad dog taking lot of risk. We are requesting you to post your video and sent thank you card to 4 people.
Please let IV core know if we are asking too much from you.
Thanks
Pratik is talking about this effort :
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10747
And I agree with what Pratik has said.
Also, people, please learn to see the big picture. Zoom out a little and stop obsessing about receipt notices. A receipt notice, whether it comes tommorow or in October, has only one purpose: That they received your application and accepted your money. Nothing beyond that.
So why this obsession about receipt notice and callling USCIS every day? We have action items for you to do if you have that much time.
There is a specific reason and objective for video campaign. I cannot divulge everything here in public forums or newsletters. But you have to trust us its important and be a part of organization rather than worry about yourself and calling USCIS for receipt notice everyday. Receipt notice is confirmation of receipt of documents. IT IS NOT A GREEN CARD.

Hello everyone,
if i understand correctly for any interest on NRE account should be reported here to the IRS through 1116 form and if we have any bank account with $10K at any point of time then we should file the 90221 form.
I checked my NRE account and other than the interest i didnt cross-the 10K mark at any point of time. Therefore i need to file 1116 for interest. In addition, since i didnt do it ever i need to file an amendement for the last 4 years.
However, on the NRO account i took a house loan and the HDFC bank deposited 50K in that account. Will that still needs to be reported as NRO is taxable in India? Please let me know your thoughts.

This is what my lawyer wrote to me when I asked him if the May 21, 2007 date has any significance-
"At this point it is unclear what affect any pending legislation will have. My best guess is that whatever legislation is passed, if in fact any is passed, the legislation will only become "effective" at some future date, at least several months from now."
I agree strongly with this. Also, the application of effective dates maybe left to UCCIS's discretion e.g. LC substitution elimination final rule.
Although since this legislation affects issuance of actual visas (green cards), for example they have a cut off date for Z visas. That date is probably concrete. Or is it ?
I guess as of now it is.
If it takes years to really implement this new legislation I guess people with current PD's should be able to go ahead.
e.g if somebody filed I140 let us say today and his PD is current and he applies 485 before this bill becomes a law what happens then ?

Don't worry. All POE should be following same rules. There are no separate rules specific to each POE.
Go as per your plan and enjoy the trip.

Thanks again!

Does IV has official data from USCIS on how many EB visas were wasted? What if USCIS says we did not waste any EB visa after CIR? Do we need to do an FOIA for this?

IR-2009-84, Sept. 21, 2009
WASHINGTON ─ The Internal Revenue Service today announced a one-time extension of the deadline for special voluntary disclosures by taxpayers with unreported income from hidden offshore accounts. These taxpayers now have until Oct. 15, 2009.
Under special provisions issued in March, taxpayers with these hidden accounts originally had until Sept. 23, 2009 to come forward. Those taxpayers who do not voluntarily disclose their hidden accounts by the new deadline face much harsher civil penalties, where applicable, and possible criminal prosecution.
IRS officials decided to extend this deadline after receiving repeated requests from tax practitioners and attorneys around the country following an influx of taxpayer requests. By extending the deadline for a short period of time, the IRS is providing relief for those taxpayers who had intended to come forward prior to the deadline, but faced logistical and administrative challenges in meeting it. The extension will allow tax preparers and attorneys the necessary time to interview and advise their backlog of taxpayers with these hidden accounts, and prepare the necessary paperwork to qualify for the special penalty provisions.
The IRS also announced that there will be no further extensions.

In 2005; uscis california denied 38 in a row i-140's for the same issue that I wrote here.
Consulting and staffing are two different things. As I stated before there is a legally precedent decision that staffing companies can file 14's if they have a permanent job. This is the main reason why uscis doesn't pick on this issue much. However; if you give them too much evidence that the job is temporary then it can be a problem.
What is the difference between a staffing company and consulting company from a USCIS perspective ?
