Comprehensive immigration reform probably doomed - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_immigration)
THis is precisely what I had said yesterday! The issues HAS and WILL be kept alive, FOREVER!
In a way it is good because, now we can plead with both parties to think of LEGAL WORKERS like us!
If this ends the "hostage drama" by the "illegals" we should be more than happy!
What next???
Thank you!!!
So you think we can only Plead? I agree.
What special do we have to offer that makes us important than CIR?
Ask yourself
Votes: no
Contribution: no
How many of our employers are pleading for us?
How many citizens are pleading for us?
If you say we are paing taxes so we should get greencard. That does not make sense. We are using roads, hospitals, infrastucture of this country and we pay taxes as long we live here.
If you say we invent new things, start Google etc then these people qualify for EB1 and it is always current.
If you say we have USA masters then we can apply in EB2. EB2 will get current next year or its wait time is going to decrease and will be 2 years max. So 2 years or less is a reasonable processing time within a 6 year H1B processing time.
I am playing devils advocate here and trying to tell you to think beyond pleading. We did not come to this country to plead. Once you start thinking negative there are many negatives as I have written above and you will go in depression.
Who is stopping you from Meeting lawmakers? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting media? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting your CEO of the company and ask for help? Have you done that.
Who is stopping you from contacting organizations of Indian American citizens and ask for help?
Who is stopping you to do rallies everymonth on weekend in every state. Why are we not doing it if we are so depressed with Greencard.
Who is stopping you from contributing to IV?
Who is stopping us from doing lobby days in DC once every month?
Why can't we do. I have tried to do at least one item in this list. If we all at least pick one item, it will be enough.

Yes it is at 1PM EST. Do you guys know if they are done with the horse bill? If they are done then it should just say 5882 and nurse bill. But schedule shows that they wil continue to work on horse bill as well...
From past couple hearings it seems like not EST but UGST (US Govt Std. Time ).. Eureka... I just discovered new time zone. I am working on to get patent on it.. Please dont run to Patent office.

Now that Democrats have taken the house and will soon bid adieu to rabidly anti-immigration Republicans in key posts like Sesenbrenner and Hastert, it does bring in a new ray of hope for us.
What this means for us in two houses:
Senate:
- To get anything done in the Senate, a bill needs support of more than 60 votes.
- Even if Democrats control Senate, which we will find out after a Virginia recount, they will really have to work in a bi-partisan manner. If we look at past trend the Senate was open to immigration reform.
Lower House:
- Due to "majority of the majority" rule by soon to be former house speaker Hastert, NO non-conservative agenda saw the light of the day in last congress.
-This effectively turned into a do-nothing congress.
- New Democrat speaker Nancy Pelosi brings hope for millions.
- This is a good chance for Bush to show what he can rally around all Americans not just the conservatives.
This election has shown that the American democratic system does work and that there is still hope for immigration reforms.
Maybe, this is too early to celebrate but I will go out and have an ice-cream :o some good news after a long draught

Yes. It will be very helpful for the future employees falling into Jaws of the greedy employers.
I am in, I will fight for this cause whatever it takes to prevent this kind of descriminations.
I am impressed by you determination to fight this case, good luck....Try calling ABC/NBC TV directly (no emails etc) and talk about your situation. This case will get National attention considering the economy...

I certainly respect your view on this post that this information is irrelevant to this forum. At the same time I disagree your view. Different view points from other members absolutely help us to know how others perceive things.
But your "offensive language and replies" to other members views are uncalled-for.
Now in recent posts, you are using "we" and trying to gain support for what you have been writing.
I request other members (whoever expressed their views that this post is irrelevant in this forum ) to express their concerns about Thankgod's language in his posts.
May I add, these posts are very much relevant here as these kids are immigrants and their kids. They might become an entrepreneur or scientist in the future and it shows the value of the skilled immigrants.
We need to come out of our EB2/EB3 narrow mind and how it's going to help me today.

Agree on ur second point, however I was surprised with the context that "ok lets see how much we can buy the MS course and how soon can i finish it" as supposed to it will be great to do MS and lets see how I can further my career with an added benefit of getting C in case of GC process.
Again just my thoughts.
I appreciate your thoughts ..
But here people are openly showing jealousy, hatred, intolerance. So why not add corruption? At least they are not harming/offending anyone else, unlike the other kinds of post'ers.
Like it or not, however, it is non-sense to ask people with several years in the industry to be put behind fresh graduates, who will be only fit to work under them when they join
This is why the spillover's should consider the year too, and backlogs have to be cleared for older category, and if both category in same year then priority to preferred category
But there are so many insanities in the current laws, that if they start counting it's going to take quite a while to get any result, much less to start revamping

Folks I wish your suggestions would be helpful, but I have taken 3 infopass appointments, and to my badluck, everytime I visit I meet the same old-fat-lady who now happens to remember me, and says, "Didnt I tell you last time that blah blah blah ", believe me, she was not willing to even accept request to send interim ead , she gave some reason that NSC outsourced callcenter work to contractors who dont know what they are saying and send us to local office to request interim EAD. She says my FP for ead was done only in Nov(my 2nd infopass resulted in 2nd FP) so it will take 4-6 weeks after that to get EAD. Anyways I will take your advice for a 4th infopass next week.
Print that USCIS memo (see page 1) and insist that they follow procedures outlined in the memo. They required to provide you a written notice that they followed the procedures. Do not leave until they give it to you in writing. If they refuse, ask for their names and write them down. Ask them for a written notice that they refuse to follow the procedures from the memo. Try to be polite, even though it is hard during infopass, I know :) I know how frustratiing it can be when you go for infopass appointments, but be persistent and talk to the supervisor.

Hello Dude,
Bangladesh- EB3.. You are one son of gun lucky dude. :)
Wish you and your family all the best in the Future.
Now, can I expect you to donate your 1st million for us to lobby in here? Man it would be of great help.. please....
---------------------------------------
Indaianabacklog --- Why the he** dont you understand you are born in the damn country with Billion people? But if you are not, then yes its a surprise. But how are you ROW?
And also from my experience --- You got to keep poking the USCIS authorities for them to wake up and take your application to process.
Let me tell you my story:
My company applied for my extension after 1st 3 yrs of H1 last year in Sept. I expected to get extension before Nov and I had planned to go to India in December. Well the dec came and I did not have extension, but I went to India as I was supposed to hoping that the extension would just arrive. Dec over, Jan over, Feb over, I am sitting Idle at home in India. Then I called USCIS- the officer told that since I left the country while extension applied and my h1 has expired, it means I have abondoned my application.. What the f***. Well, later I started following up with my h1 company.
Finally my office Amin staff personally went into USCIS office, explaining my situation and also showing proof that the client is waiting for me to get back and start work, I got h1 extension approved on Jul 24th.. What a relief.
Ran to Chennai for stamping and flew into Bay Area. Next day Med appointments cause i was to file 485 before Aug 17th.
Oh Gosh! I could barely do that and my application reached the NSC on Aug 17th. Now got the receipt numbers.
So Unless you keep poking them You wont hear updates. Just my 2 points experience in the swarm of people here.

what kind of attitude is this. If he/she is eligible to apply they should apply.
Sorry!If it was rude!!No offence meant...Me thinks it is more of a pain than gain!!Like what if your 485 gets approved b4 u file for your spouse's...There are still solutions as much as problems!!It would only benefit guys who are desperate for EAD but then again if you have your I-140 cleard and with serious retrogressions expected you could still get 3 year H1B extensions!!!

The above mentioned case was later denied. AAO withdrew the approval. See this link -
http://www.uscis.gov/err/B5%20-%20Members%20of%20the%20Professions%20holding%20Ad vanced%20Degrees%20or%20Aliens%20of%20Exceptional% 20Ability/Decisions_Issued_in_2009/Apr282009_01B5203.pdf
This was a good find. The decision actually opens up more doors then it closes.
USCIS in the past; and specifically Nebraska service center would deny I-140's if you did not have one single source degree equal to U.S. bachelors degree (ie., combination of degrees was not allowed).
this decision basically says that 3+2 will not be considered equal to masters but will be considered to be equal to bachelors degree. However, since the labor didn't allow for bachelors and five years of experience then they consider him to not be qualified for the position.
Looks like 3+2 will still qualify for eb2 but through the bachelors and five year route.
If you look through many of the appeals decisions you will even find contradictory stuff with regards to combination of degrees to get to bachelors equivalency for eb2.
That's why when you are first starting the greencard journey it is safest to go eb3 route and then later give it a try for eb2.

This whole discussion is really silly... I'm glad IV leadership is not self centered, atleast from what i see they think about the community on the whole.
Lets put all these fruitless arguments to rest... the ROW vs India/China, Nurses vs Others, EB1 vs EB2 vs EB3!
I'm EB3 India and I have no one to blame but me for being in EB3 (I'm certainly qualified to be in EB2 but I chose to stick around with the same company for the very reason we all are here on this forum... i.e GC)
For those who think its unfair... rather then sulking about it... do something and move to EB2 if you cant wait any longer... or at least support IV in their efforts.

Guys,
I efiled my AP on 9/5/10 @NSC and it was approved today after requesting expediting on 10/5/10 based on financial loss, I have a business transaction back home for which i need to be present and provided all supporting documentation related to that.
This is what is think is more effective than contacting senators/Ombudsman for expediting, resend all the I-131 supporting documentation,proof of emergency/loss, 2 photos and include a cover letter with bold colorful fonts requesting expediting to the same address you sent your app earlier (btw, i used the USCIS center courier address and not PO Box address), i believe this way your app goes to the officer quicker and he has all the documents needed to approve your case right away if you qualify for expediting, i have used this process more than once and know it works at least for me....you have tried other methods, why not try this as well!
Good Luck!

Dude,
I am facing same issue....need to get some money back from India....and there is no way i can get it officially without losing significant part of it. It is really illogical to send money to India for property investment just because we cannot get money back.....I am repenting doing that....
Whenever I ask my friends to do this favor to me.....all they say is they dont have money to send India (since they dont want to disclose their worth to me) or they dont want to send money to India since they know it is useless to send money at such a bad conversion rate.
If you can find some better way, let me know too.
open a nri account here in india with your dad as a second name to it in a bank like hsbc which is there both in india and usa....then you or your dad dcan deposit money in that account...then anybody can withdraw after that. ...Second your dad can gift you a certain amount by converting rs to dollars in india and getting american express travelers check and sending it to you,....
let me know what you do and if there are other ways to do that..
