Share experience about Vonage about calling India.
Vonage, a provider of voice over Internet protocol phone service, has reached a settlement with Kentucky, Indiana and 30 other states over allegations of deceptive marketing and unscrupulous customer service procedures.
Under the agreement, Vonage will make �significant� changes to its marketing practices and handling of consumer cancellation requests. It also will provide refunds to eligible customers.
The company will pay the states a total of $3 million for reimbursement of legal and investigative costs. Kentucky�s portion of the reimbursement is $45,000, according to a news release from Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway�s office.
Vonage officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Vonage was ordered to provide refunds to customers who did not receive rebates they believed they were due because their accounts weren�t open long enough to qualify or because they spent a portion of their trial periods waiting to receive or return equipment.
Refunds also will be provided to customers who were assessed excess usage charges without being informed of usage limits, received additional monthly service charges because of difficulty in canceling service, or received charges for unordered services and equipment offered as free.
Under the settlement, Holmdel, N.J.-based Vonage (NYSE: VG) must revise its disclosures for offers of free services, money-back guarantees and trial periods, according to the release. The company also must follow strict guidelines in dealing with customers wishing to cancel their service.
Through their investigation, the states found that Vonage paid bonuses to customer service representatives who retained customers. As a result, many customers had difficulty canceling their service.
Now, Vonage must record and verify conversations between customers and the company�s customer service representatives, according to the release.
Vonage customers who believe they are eligible for a refund under the settlement can call the Kentucky Attorney General�s Office of Consumer Protection hotline at (888) 432-9257, or download a complaint form at Kentucky: Attorney General Jack Conway - Forms (http://ag.ky.gov/civil/consumerprotection/complaints/forms.htm).

I just changed my job from a consulting position to a full time position.
Got my H1B transferred and I will be filing AC21 in a few weeks from now. I don't have my I-140 approval with me. My company lawyer says there is no issue, and I am all set

You dont need transit visa if you are traveling thru frnankfurt (my 2 cents...just travelled in Lufthansa with expired visa but valid 797...no problems...however i heard it wld be a problem if it were United...so check with the airlines).....keep in mind that one might get stuck anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks if stuck in 221g administrative processing while getting stamping in India (in my case got passport and 797 in 23 days)....something to be aware of....my friend got stamping in india with only 6 months of 797 validity remaining....hope this helps

:confused: But the dates having moved beyond the April 2000 deadline ( may be temporarily), why should they not move fast when the VB was current for a long time and there should not be many cases after April 2000 those were not adjudicated. So I feel if the dates don't retrogress then they should move forward faster.

I too, am in process of changing my address, however in this transition period I have put a hold in USPS mail. This way, I got all my travel docs from local post office safely. A colleague of mine had same exact situation like you, and he had to re-file it again.
Once the travel docs are lost, USCIS will not re-send them to you. They shall ask you to refile it completely.

I have exactly similar statistics as below case except I-140 filing date = May 10, 2008.
Can I expect something soon, if there is no RFE? Mine is at TSC too.

I have heard if one leaves the country while AP is being processed, the application is considered abandoned.
My lawyer specifically stated this.
This is an interesting twist..anyone else care to comment?

This is my understanding PERM has no fees to department of labour. Is that right ?
Can employee may attorney fees for PERM ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees for USCIS ?
Can employee pay I-140 fees to attorney ?
I assume that employee can surely pay for USCIS-485 fees and attorney fees for this. ?

well queen my long lost thought you were gone forever to never come back friend. I am not to familiar with the nikon lenses i would imaging the logical side would be to cover as many focal lengths as possible and that would be covered by the 18-55 and the 55-200mm lenses. however im not sure if the 18-135 lens offers supperior glass or not. If it does i would say that would be the one you go with. anyway it sure is nice to see you on here queen i must say i missed ya.

Thank you very much for the info. I've always loved photography just never found the time to learn all these things. Seems like I am making up for lost time now. I might keep the 28-80 since it came with my Rebel 2000 and I got it for my bar mitzvah. I wish I didn't though, since I would probably sell everything. I might just sell the 100-300 and get the D70. I guess I could get the 300d, but it looks like my rebel and doesn't look as nice as the D70. Who knows, I am going to a couple of camera shops to fool around with them to make my mind up. Thanks for the information.
