Good Question. Listen to your lawyer "SAFE CHOICE". Take any Major paper in the
state that you are applying for and run it for 3 consecutive days im MIDWEEK -
Monday-Wednesday. This is safe to get the MINIMUM or NO Responses which is what 
you are looking for.

Subject: P.R. questions
Organization: University of Kentucky
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 04:44:03 GMT

I just found alt.visa.us today and thought I might aswell ask you guys
out there a couple of things that I've been wondering about lately:
 
Here's a little bit of background:  I've been in this country since '87
on a J1 visa (not subject to 2 year rule).  The visa's going to run out
in March.  I was supposed to be working on my PhD, but I'll only be
finishing my MS by then.  Is that a problem?  It IS spelled out in my
I94 (?) that I'm working on a PhD.
 
Now, I've been married to a US citizen since '88 and we have a child
together (2 yo).  With my VISA running out, I decided to finally get
P.R and applied end of December.  At the same time I am not supported
by Teaching Assistantship any more and accepted a job.  INS knows about
the job, the job-people know my visa status - nobody seemed to have a
problem with it.  But somehow I can't get rid of the feeling that some-
body somewhere IS going to have a problem with it.  On J1 I am only
supposed to work 20 hours/week when school is in session.  I'm working
40 hours/week!  However, am not taking any classes, just 0cr of residency
credit.  So, you VISA buffs out there, is that a problem?
 
Now to the P.R. itself.  I'm married, like I said, really married!
If you get me started, I'll tell you about all the trouble my hubby got
in while we've been married, that I got to bail him out of, but that's
another story.  Despite that, I think, he's decided that he doesn't
want me to get PR.  I guess, he figures that if I don't have it and we
end up getting a divorce at some point in time, he'll be more likely
to get the child than if not.  (He's been divorced twice before, I haven't)
I tend to believe that, too.  So, every time I do something that dis-
pleases him, like work late e.g., he'll start threatening with all kinds of
things that would harm my PR application, in his mind.  Things like:
- I'll move out.  (Most likely w/out the kid)
- I won't come to the interview with you. - and won't sign any more papers
- I'll tell them that we're only married for the PR.
Can he really mess with me like that?  Can he harm my application in that
way?
 
Oh, last but not least, what kinds of things DO they ask in the interview?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
Please e-mail, since I don't read this group very frequently

Organization: University of Kentucky

I am posting this question for a friend of mine:
She is from Germany and works as a postdoc on a J1 visa.  She is not
paying taxes for the first 2 years of her stay.  Now, a Indian post-
doc has told her that she would be required to pay back-taxes on her
income from the first 2 years, if she stays longer than 2 years.
For that reason, he elected to pay taxes right away since he's going to be
in the U.S for at least 4 years.
 
Here's the question:  Is that true?  (for India? Germany?)
If it is true, could you avoid it by going back to Germany for some
period of time?
 
please e-mail, I'll post a summary if anybody is interested

Hi!

Let me precede my question with some information about my case.
I have applied for permanent residency at the consulate in Madras,
India and am waiting for my priority date to become current.

Does anyone know what needs to be done once
the priority date becomes current? Am I supposed to fill up some
other form or do I just sit tight till the INS informs me that my
date has become current and give me an interview date.

Further does anyone know how long it takes at Madras Consulate to
get an interiew date once the priority date becomes current.

Thanks in advance,
Janani

Thanks for the responses. I see that all of you have been allowed to post
in a regional newspaper. In my case, I was instructed to post in a national
journal (like Computerworld) so it's obviously going to be more expensive.
I only have to post the ad one time, but I bet that costs much more than
posting 3 days in a regional newspaper... Anybody else out there who has pos-
ted in a journal? I'm going to get a quote from Computerworld today so we
can compare prices. I'll be happy to get more options.

Don't be mislead!  The Labor Dept defines a major paper as a newspaper with
Sunday circulation, and the Labor Dept REQUIRES that the ad be placed on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Plus, the ad is placed through your local
Job Service Center (gov't office where jobless people look for jobs).

verify the rules carefully, a wrong ad can be rejected and can cost you
a fortune.

For seme reason I find myself frequently doing those things my mother
always told me I could not do. And thinking all the things she said I
could not think. I wonder if I am perhaps more "--able" than she is?

WHAT IF FELLINI HAD DIRECTED _STAR_WARS_?:

"Once Luke shows up in the canteen on Tatoine,
     instead of going out to save the universe, he
     would have a series of love affairs with
     progressively more bizarre aliens, without ever
     leaving the canteena.  (Except, of course, in
     baroque fantasy sequences.)  In the end, he would
     wander out into the desert, mumbling something
     existential.

     This is much more entertaining than the Antonioni
     STAR WARS, in which Luke would have spent the
     entire film wandering about the desert, mumbling
     something existential."

>>3.  Insert your definition here, Adrienne.  (Either you meant to claim 
>>you support AA or you evaded it, using "equitable standards" intentionally.)

You gave no response to THIS question.  Instead, you explained a bit
of your "equitable standards" line.  Who cares?  Karl wrote about,
you flamed him about, and I asked you about, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

In what way is your position on "equitable standards" any support of 
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for men in custody decisions, in any sense whatsoever?

Put your money where your mouth is, Adrienne.  *You* claimed to be
a feminist whose views contradicted Karl's statements about feminist
positions on affirmative action.  Support *your* claim and your flame.
