Hi Shamu,
A colleague/friend of mine and his wife decided to have a home delivery. So, they contacted this nurse practitioner/midwife, who used to come to his home once a month and do all the stuff that goes along with pregnancy. They also delivered the baby at his home, which took off all the expense that are associated with a hospital delivery and I'm pretty sure the entire cost for the 9 month term was <5K (actually around 2-3K).
But I believe that was possible because it was a normal delivery with no complications.
So, if you and your wife are in the same situation as most of the people here (i.e. late 20's or early to mid 30's ) there is no reason why you would not have a normal uncomplicated delivery. So having a home delivery is an option.
I am a father of a 15 month old and felt that most of the months that we went to visit the doctor was pretty superficial. They did not tell us anything which you cannot find out from the internet or the maternity books. Who delivered my daughter in the hospital? Well a nurse did.
Also in India my wife told me that most often women don't go to the doctor unless there are issues. (For the period leading up to the delivery. For delivery they go to the doctor.)
So, for uncomplicated deliveries a home delivery could be an option, just check it out and the nurse practitioners (OBGYN variety)/midwives are fully qualified and sometimes more experienced than the doctors as that is ALL they do, they deliver babies.
So check this option if you feel it is OK.
Good luck with your insurance search.
P.S.: Also you seem a little stressed out.
Buddy enjoy this time, you are going to be a father. :-)
Thanks buddy,
Even, I am a father of 15 month old. This is second one. with my previous employer insurance was good, so no problem with first delivery. Then changed employer with AC21 who does not have insurance, so bought individual insurance. Until now I have not realized that being in a group insurance is such a great benefit. But I am exploring options and I expect some thing will come out.
I am not yet under panic mode and have so many good frineds at IV. That is a great moral support, at least I believe.
And thanks for your suggestions and support.

The 111th Congress begins its lame duck session on November 15th. The major item on the agenda will be what to do with President Bush�s tax cuts which are set to expire on December 31, 2010. This election was a major boost to the Republicans and it will affect the tone of this session. There are two immigration items on the agenda. Just before the election, Sen. Menendez promised that he would bring Comprehensive Immigration Reform to the floor during this session, and Sen. Reid made a firm promise of a floor vote on DREAM. Sen. Reid won a convincing victory over his rival due to the staunch support of Latino voters in Nevada. Many activists for DREAM worked hard for Sen. Reid�s campaign helping him cinch his victory. We urge Majority Leader Reid to keep his promise for a floor vote for DREAM during the upcoming session. The country is watching to see if the two Democratic Senators will keep their promises.
NO CIR
Maybe Dream Act
Anything for us in the lame duck session?

I wonder what they will say when Hispanic and Black cops stop white folks and say "oops we thought they were Canadian" :D
Russ and Beck will then start complaining of reverse racism.
BTW, I am against illegal immigration and the way to solve is to remove quotas for legal immigration and Jail Time for employers who don't use E-Verify.

I hope your prayers bring you peace in your life.
However, prayers might be good only for that. What I say below is directed to people in general, and not to you. So, please don't get offended. I am not suggesting in any way that you are not making any concrete efforts to support IV.
I bet a lot of people are praying very very hard for their greencards.
I would like to request them to invest in concrete steps. Give monetary support to IV. Form, or join, a local state chapter. Go meet a lawmaker or his staff. Call them up and talk to their staff. Pray only if you have done all or some of the above. As they say, God helps those who help themselves. Keep up your end of the bargain, and then ask God (of the Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whatever) for help.
Hi everyone,
Have a lot of patience my wife and I have been patiently waiting for this and now it's finally here.
We've been here in different situations below....
Myself
1997 - H1B
2000 - LC filing
2001 - LC cancelled by company because of 911. If company responded to RFE, Labor could have been certified.
2006 - Laid off while on 9th yr of H1
2007 - Back on H1 transfer
Spouse
1998 - H1B
2001 - Filed LC because my company cancelled LC
2003(Mar) - PD
2005(Sep) - LC approved
2005(Dec) - I-140 approved
2007(Apr) - Can file AOS/EAD now
The secret.....
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. Nothing beats it.
To those who don't know, it took Noah 120 yrs. of faith and hope to built his arc when he was asked to, by Our Heavenly Father.
Regards and CONRATULATIONS to all who can file AOS and EAD now.
More power to IV team.

I am really surprised. Why would it EB3 go back to 2001.
I have just applied for my labour. So I can apply for 485 only after 5/6 years?:mad:
Make thing worse....your labor expires after six months, so you have to re-apply again..and again...and again...and again...and again....

Will I-485 package get rejected if no employment letter attached?
While rushing to send our packages to USCIS on July2nd, we could not get our future employment letter signed and did not include in the package. But now I have the employment letter.
Experts, do you think I need re-file or wait out?
Anyone is in the same boat got their receipt#s or still waiting
Thanks

Hi aroranuj,
US considers 16years of full time or equivalent of full time education as Bachelors degress(12yrs school + 4 yrs college/universit degree). Even Indian Bachelors of 3 yrs(12yrs school + 3 yrs coll/Univ) is not considered to be equivalent of US Bachelors.
From what my attorney told me,
1)16yrs of education(US Bachelors)/Indian 3 yr bachelors & 2/3years of Masters + 5 years experience qualifies for EB2 category.
2)15yrs of education(India Bachelors) + 5 or more years of education qualifies for EB3 cateogry.
3)Not sure of Diploma
You have said you have 3 yrs diploma + 1 yr bachelors, I assume your total years of education is 14 yrs(10 yrs school + 3 years diploma + 1 yr bachelors/coll/Univ). This not even equivalent of Indian bachelors, you can substitute your job experience towards educational years. But I do not know whether that can be done for Diploma.
What I have said is my opinion, personal view, please do not construe this as legal opinion. I suggest you consult a good education evaluation companies like Trustforte, Mulinational Education & Information Services to find whether your case will qualify for EB3.

I think that the DOS (Dept of State) releases VISA Numbers on a quarterly basis. If that is the case, there should be movement in EB2 India in Jan 2007.
The other possibility always exists that the numbers were released for this quarter but the demand was SO HIGH that the net date did not move at all.
possible?? maybe!!

I have bought stamps/envelops and printed # of letters by myself and going desk to desk and urging Desi's to sign and send letters.
Great! Everyone is paying me for the stamps and sending letters.
Cheers! I urge everyone do this to their respective work location. It is working like magic! Believe me!
We are all little lazy in this winter weather, just need a little push! That's all!
gc4me, that is a great initiative. I have begun doing it at my work too. The only other thing we should try is, ask them if they can personalize it even a little bit... and offer to help them do it!
Thanks for your efforts!

There are disadvantage of filing AC-21 eg: RFE or Interview calls etc
What are the disadvantages of NOT filing AC-21 Memo to USCIS after job change?
Please advise
Its all gray, but after reading posts on forums the disadvantage is the same: RFEs.
If your employer withdraws your I-140 180 days past your 485 filing, USCIS will potentially issue an RFE again for employment verification letter. If you had filed a new EVL at the time of doign AC-21, USCIS knows that the I-140 revocation does not mean the end of the road, you have actually ported over to someone and he intends to hire you. Note that even 180 days past your 485 filing, you still need SOME employer to sponsor a same/similar job. (unless you are exceedingly brave and are going to self-port)
