True Story from IIT

One Night 4 IIT students were playing till late night and could not study for the test which was scheduled for the next day.

In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

So the Dean said they could have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time.

On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.

The Test consisted of 2 questions with a total of 100 Marks.

See Below for the question Paper

Q.1. Your Name........... ......... ......... (2 MARKS)

Q.2.. which tyre burst? (98 MARKS)
a) Front Left b) Front Right
c) Back Left d) Back Right

Immigration related assistance

Use services from http://www.lawbench.com/ site for any immigration related questions. It's very cost effective and better than approaching attornies directly and paying 100s of $s for every 30 minutes.

I recommend lawyer, Indu Liladhar Hathi's service as she may be flexible with timing, duration break ups instead of using the time continuously.

You can go through forums and net (http://www.murthy.com) before you utilize paid services. Sometimes your company's attorney may help you if your questions are linked to your/your family's PERM process.
