Thanks for your informed comments. Like you, I am also surprised to find many people in this forum, who are interested in fire arms.
I don't own a fire arm and not planning to while the immigration status is not yet Citizenship. I don't want the authorities to give another reason to look into my case. I just go for fishing once in a while.
But our family owns two guns in India and have worked with guns from childhood.
Another point is I am very much impressed with how the Americans manage wild life and the nature in general. They enjoy it while preserving it. India does neither. We just destroy it, and write eloquent speeches on nature protection.
Federal law does allow H-1Bs to purchase firearms if they have lived in the US (Same residence, if you move, the clock is reset) continuously (if you leave the country, the clock is again reset) for 90 days and fall under one of the 4 exceptions listed below.
- Possess a valid (unexpired) hunting license issued by any state in the US
- Are a Law enforcement officer from a foreign nation, here on official duty
- in the US to participate in a shooting sports competition
- get a waiver from the Attorney General
The easiest of these 4 exceptions is the Hunting license exception.
Once you meet the above mentioned criteria, you are okay, per federal law to possess a firearm. Doesn't matter what non-immigrant visa you are on (H-1B, F-1, AOS).
Next step is to check whether your state has additional restrictions. I don't think any states completely bars non-citizens from possessing firearms (atleast none of the states that I have lived in do), although some states have restrictions on the type of firearms non citizens can buy. e.g. in MA, non-citizens (including GC holders) can't buy handguns or high powered semi auto rifles (ARs, AKs) but they can buy non-large capacity rifles and shotguns.
As someone pointed out, trying out guns at a public range which has rentals is a great way to introduce oneself to the sport, learn basic firearm operation and safety, and to try a wide variety of guns and calibers.

May be even 5 would help at this moment.
Also I would suggest to show the data as below in the contribution sign up page where the people would get an idea before contributing.
$100 Contribution / per month -- xxx members
$50 Contribution / per month -- yyy members
$20 Contribution / per month -- zzz members
$10 Contribution / per month -- xx members
$5 Contribution / per month -- x members
This would help the new members to grasp the idea about the strength of the forum and would also give a ball park figure on which range they should go.
Can we lower minimum recurring amount to $10 a month? I can request some of my colleagues to contribute a recurring amount of $10 a month. We can probably get more ppl to join more lower limits.

Dude, you forgot the most important point....
After apology/providing GC, they are going to provide settlement assistance as a welcome gift....
Right!!! and in the future bulletins, the dates will continue to move to the future and all the FOBs will be forced to take the GC at the POEs else they will be denied entry into the US of A.

I was under the same impression that it was FP that triggered the name check. But this is what the lawyer told them that their names were struck in NC and that is why they never got FP and now that NC is over they received FP notices. The interesting part is that within 3 weeks of FP one person got a notice that his application has been sent to USCISlocal office for further processing which I assume means interview notice in few days.
How does a lawyer know if u r stuck in namecheck? Unless you go to infopass you may not know.
In reality, the app was just taken up for processing - the IO figured that FP has not yet been done and sent notice and during the course of processing the app, decided to send it for interview.

Nothing. Even you loose $20 bill everymonth, it won't be a big deal or even if you get it everymonth by way of incentive, not a big deal. :p
One of my friend told me that he got his labour certification approved yesterday, I said "Welcome to the world of frustation" where there is no entry fee but an exit fee is $20 a month.
I think if all of us (Existing contributors) could succeed in getting one more contributor then we would be double in number very soon.

Few months back, 2 DMV officers gave me a tough time in CT. I wrote strong complaint and got a reply that, it will be allright if I go again and I went for the 3rd time and got it without hasstles.
Here is what happened
Dear Mr. Vemula,
This reply is in response to your email of 5/20/06 in which you
describe
the difficult time you have had in obtaining a CT license. Please be

It shows that the interpretation of law is not same everywhere.
some people get it easily and some dont. Bridgeport, CT DMV is very crowded most of the time and tough to get things done. There are a lot of people of a kind that come there and it is tough. you must try Westport etc kind of areas next time.

there are class war democrats, what do you expect out of them. People who think democrats are good for immigrants this should be an eye opener. ofcourse if you were earning 5.15$ an hour and cleaning the democrats toilets and tending there front yards then they would have shown "compassion" to you. you earn way too much to get democrats compassion.

Thanks SGP. Did I read this correctly ? you switched in 9th yr of h1 ? was ur I-485 pending or did u have EAD to change ? I just have I-140 approved. so if I change to a new job now, can the new employer use this old I-140 for extensions ? can new employer ask USCIS to port old priority date ?

When you want ride in a bus, you have to buy a ticket. I hope everyone agrees - at least that is the legal way :). The ticket to ride on the "Omni Bus" needs millions of dollars not thousands. Thousands lets you look inside the bus, not ride it.
LETS MARCH TO A MILLION! LETS BUY OUR OWN TICKET!
Please visit the funding thread. There you will find words of wisdom and words of inspiration for all of us.
My wife's EAD was applied on July 30th. She didnot recieve her EAD for 90 days, hence we took a infopass appointment and went to the local office on 92 nd day. They have informed us that they had sent a RFE on 88th day of filing and we need to wait for another 90 days after we send a response to the RFE.
Strangely the RFE that she got is for Birth Certificate which is not a required document for EAD.
I did not read anywhere that 90day count starts from the day when a response to the RFE is sent.

If someone enter USA they can bring in 10K$ with them in any form, ask you parents to go to any center in india private broker or anyone and buy $$ (thye charge some amount and that is in paise if they buy $ from you at 39 then they will sell it at 39.50 or so)
You can buy as much as you want 100K$ or more. then when someone from india is coming then they can hand it to him and he can give it to you here.
Well in that case you "may" get caught by IRS (if they audit ). But in case of wire transfer you can prove that the money came from India in which there would not be any tax liability.

Guys,
I recommend showing only AP at port of entry and dont give any additional papers/info unless they ask for it.
My case is even more complicated. I am working for Company A, valid H1, but no stamping. I applied GC thru company B and got AP/EAD.
I used AP twice for two trips, India and Bahamas. Just showed AP at POE, no issues at all.

But Gandhi ji actually did something when he was humiliated , unlike MOST IV MEMBERS" who just talk.. yes right TALK
Comparing with Gandhi ji's struggle makes no sense. When discriminated, he refused to cooperate. Refused to buy "monopolistic" foreign clothes, salt.
H1-B is noway similar to that. H1B can choose not to put up with discriminating employers, rules etc and chose not to work in an economy which is exploitative.
Once H1B stop putting up these rules, employers with think we need to do something to attract foreign talent. Till then why bother to lobby for change in EB rules.
Note: I approve of free trade but in those days it was all one-sided monopolistic trade where Indian consumers had no choice but were forced to buy British goods.
