1月22日 Another historic moment?So there were two historic moments this week. One that will be cherished for a long time which is Barack Obama becoming the president of US. The other one was today when Microsoft announced its first ever official layoff. Its a sad day that some people in the company will be laid off in the worst possible market conditions. My sincere best wishes to them and I pray that hopefully one day they can look back and say, "whatever happened happened for good". So whenever somebody mentions about the historic moment of Barack Obama getting elected this story of layoff will come to my mind :(. 5月9日 Tax rebateGot the tax rebate today. Thanks Bush & IRS for giving me $1500 back!
I got lucky because my wife also has a SSN number. She did not have it last year when we filed using her ITIN number. There is a rule that if one of the dependents file using ITIN number then they don't get the rebate :(. I feel sorry for those guys.
Cheers! 12月22日 Watched newly released hindi movie WelcomeI watched the hindi movie, "Welcome" today. It is a pretty good comedy movie. Here in Burlington NJ, they show Hindi movies by leasing halls in a multiplex primarily showing English movies. Good change from seeing hindi movies in Totem lake cinema in Seattle which is the worst place to watch movies :). It was ironic because they used to do this in Dallas too (i.e. leasing halls in a good multiplex to show hindi movies) and the last movie I saw there was "No Entry" which was also directed by Anees Bazmi who made this movie Welcome which I saw today. Man 2 and a half years back I never imagined that I will ever visit a place called Burlington in New Jersey to see his next movie. I wonder if it is in anyway related to Burlington Coat Factory though! 7月20日 Reorder your lists.With the new release of spaces you can reorder your lists.
This feature was requested for a long time now. Go ahead and reorder now! 4月27日 Sacremento tripGuys, I will be in Sacremanto from Saturday (04/28/2007) to Tuesday morning. Plan to meet Azam bhai and also Moiz there.

4月24日 Sprained neckWarning: This can only be enjoyed or make sense if you are a friend of Imtiaz!
Got to know from Sayeed over the weekend that our dearest friend Imtiaz had sprained his neck. I felt really sorry for him as he had that problem before and also that he had to take a week off from work. Then I started thinking as to what must have caused this. I could only come up with the following reasons, if you know the exact reason then correct me.
I could only come up with the following options, if you know a better reason then please leave a comment.
11月9日 I-140 approvalAnother update. My I 140 was approved and it just took a month to get approved. So, all of you who are waiting for it, the processing is pretty fast. 8月25日 LC Perm ApprovalI got my labor certification approved today under PERM. I know its a small step but nevertheless a step closer to getting rid of H1 B mess.
Getting 1-140 which is the next step should also be pretty smooth InshaAllah but the real bottleneck is for the 3rd stage atleast for Indians as there is a lot of retrogression there.
The EB2 category is unavailable for India and as one of my friend Mudassir Latif said thats the price you pay for coming from a land where now a days in every household there is an engineer.
So guys pray that the law makers after fighting over for illegal immigrants do something for the law abiding, social security and tax paying community called LEGAL immigrants from India.
Cheers and have a nice life! Will keep you updated with my story of immigration and would love to hear yours. |
