Hello IVians,
As we all await our GCs, I thot we can explore some investment vehicles.
Does anyone here have experience with commodity trading?
Can we trade in commodities on H1 or L1 status?
Is it too risky like forex trading?
Who are the online brokers offer commodity trading?
Is there a minimum account balance / trade required every month or so?
Pls share your experience. Thanks!

Please don't get bogged down by whether the bills will help an individual category. Everyone involved in EB GC process will be in a good position once these bills pass. So, please participate in IV's phone and funding campaigns.
Thanks!

IV managed to fight its way through the July visa bulleting fiasco and compelled the USCIS to honor the original bulletin. Even after witnessing such a huge achievement if some people are making comments like they would like to weigh IV's worth before deciding to make contributions then they can be classified as perennial skeptics.
Visa bulletin after visa bulletin is putting us into a spiraling depressive state. IV is the only organization which is interested in solving this retrogression mess affecting highly skilled immigrants.
Make IV a paid subscription organization at $50 membership fees per annum. It is better to have 10000 members who can surely generate half a million dollars in revenue, rather than 25000 members who take about 8 days to generate 30000 in funds.

You may wanna read "Six thinking hats" by Edward de bono. He talks about having critical thinking hat(black hat) during brainstorming.Lets have some people with black hats here.
I have read the above book and other books (lateral thinking, ...) by Edward de bono; he has written a lot of (non expensive) books. I strongly recommend his books to the open minded reader.
btw I thought anand26 was banned from this forum. I am not too far away from being banned as well. I got a post deleted by the admin already without any notice.
I should also be banned soon. My post was not published on Friday. I did not praise logiclife for the Friday episode. I do understand that my question's will not get answered.
On the other hand, I see absolutely no content in anand26's posts. Such posts are a complete waste of time for our cause. There is no point in responding to such posts if you do not agree with it. We wasted yesterday on anand26 and friday on someone else.
However, the posts should not be deleted and persons who agree should be allowed to debate. This will not hurt IV. What is hurting us is the time we spend in responding to them.

This is good but too late. Now that BEC's have already cleared lots of labors and it is now in the pipeline of substitution. By the time they actually impelement this rule, they would have cleard all the backlogs. May be this will stop only 5-10% of BEC labor substitution.
If they had implemented this rule a year or 18 months back when they started this BEC, it would have helped us a lot. If all the BECs are cleared and those labors enter into substitution pipeline before this rule is enacted, then it will not cause any improvements for retrogression.
So do not get too excited now. It is already too late. If for some reasons, if it eliminates some substitution it is only a little releif for us. Overall it is a good move.
WHY DID NOT they talk about this implementations all these times and talk about it NOW should answer the strengths of AILA and other lobbying groups who have vested interest in this substitution. Now these orgs will not oppose much on this rule as they have already made 80% of labor substutition bussiness which was worth multi million dolloars to them. They are ready to forego meagre 20% business and will also look like a good cop for public by supporting this rule.
I see DOL making so many improvements, PERM process in full gear, BECs finishing up most of their backlogs, and then, no labor substitution rule. Hope USCIS takes some inspiration from them.

Thanks for the information sharing that has been triggered by the marvelous move by INS by making the dates current....
This may be a rudimentary question, before I ask this Q to my attorney, I wanted to get some information from the public who are in the same boat as I am...
My PD is Dec 2005. I have 2 more years of valid H1B visa time.
Lets assume that I apply for my 485 in a month or two and that I get my EAD by november. I hunt for my "right" partner and get married after november and I plan to get bring her to US of A... here are my Q's
1) Is my H1 going to be valid after I get my EAD approved?
Yes h1 will be valid.
2) Do I "have" to use my EAD card and discard my H1 at all? Can I travel back and forth to India on my H1 even after I have my EAD?
No you can still maintain both the status. H1 gt invalidated only if you use EAD for other job.
3) Suppose that I bring my wife on a valid H4 through my H1 (even though I have my EAD - I am assuming that for question #1 & #2, the answer is 'YES')
I can file her I485 as long as the dates are current (or current to my PD atleast). Now, in a case if the dates are not current, I can still have my H1 in a valid state so that my wife's status is not in jeopardy.... Now the big question is .... if my I485 gets approved without my priority dates getting current to my PD, what would be status of my wife?? Can this ever be possible?
She can enter on H4 and it is not possible to get I-485 approcal with PD current.
The gist of all my Q's is... can I maintain my H1 status and use that to bring my wife on H4 even though I have my EAD approved? Does having a EAD card pose any additional queries at port of entry and the american consulate when I apply for H4???
No queries..it is very common so you will be OK.

This can financially drain you out. My insurance agent told me that they cant get the money straight out of your bank account , because how will they find out your bank account number and the bank? How do they know how many bank accounts you have? What if you send money to India before the judgement is entered against you? If you have a house, they can go after your house or car. What about their own insurance policy? Maybe their insurance can also pay as uninsured motorist pay? Retirement income is usually protected in some states and hence I dont think your 401K is at risk. Once your insurance company pays out the maximum, you can basically say hands up, I have given up.
I am already financially/emotionally drained out due to my accident. I guess its going to be deja-vu for me again.
Now I have hardly any money in my bank accounts(around 14K to be precise), and no house , which seems to be a good news and they cannot rip off much.
Only questions I have now are:
1. Any idea generally how long these things can go on?
2. During the trial will there be any restrictions on leaving the country (In genuine emergency situations)?
3. In the worst case if I am willing to give-up my GC..would it still make sense for us(my spouse and 2 kids) to go thru all this emotional stress all over again by staying here and thinkign about what will happen tomorrow...?

i graduated more than 10 years ago...with an Engineering degree...i know about the $100-200 merit seats...which were extremely difficult to get. I could have gotten the merit seat in a lower ranked college but chose a better college. It applies to only the top 5% or less of the total applicants. You don't get to the top 5% without spending a small fortune in private coaching ...why... because your regular teachers hardly make an attempt to teach you well...and they are the same ones who make lot more money in private coaching.
Anyways even with the very little $100-200 "almost impossible to get" merit seats there are plenty of other expenses for engineering. This is out of the question if your family is not in lower middle class economically atleast.
ok, I did not take private coaching (not that its relevant to a 3/4 year degree) and we had quite a few lower-middle class students in engineering.
As for poor families - A MCA at IGNOU costs a little over $1000. I'm sure its similar in other distant learning courses too.

Exactly true but hard to beleive. Think how much you know about your home country immigration. That should answer this question. Most of my american colleagues are suprised to hear
1. It is risk to buy house? Why? I am on H1b visa. What is that?
My wife cannot work? WHy? she is on H4? What is that?
I cannot jump companies as my gc is in progress? Why? Will you get your gc in next three months? No.
When you will get your gc? May be after 6 years or later.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT... WHY? etc etc
They do not know anything and they do not care.
Spot on. i think the anti-immigrants grossly magnify the hue and cry over H1-B abuses. Most americans dont know what H1-B is and nor do they care. The only immigrants they have heard about are the illegal kind. Ordinary americans are mostly indifferent to legal immigration. Politicians care first for their votebanks (present and future) and second for their sources of funding aka corporate lobbies. They are the ones who have the ability to make a difference.

I just received notification that my approved 140 (which got approved way back in 2007) is now moved to USCIS. Has anyone seen this before?
Exact status is as follows
Post-Decision Activity
On October 27, 2009, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review, or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Did you initially opt for consular processing and then perhaps change to AOS? Or do you have multiple 140s with the earlier PD opted for CP? Just trying to figure out the rationale for that.

This would motivate non-contibuting members to contribute.

I think it all boils down to how desparate we are for GCs, many people here on H1 just want to count their valid H1 visa and multiply them by thier montly savings,
but Irish and many illegals itz a do or die situation they are smart people to knock on law makers door, before law-enforcing people knock on thier doors
If they werent desperate, they wouldnt be depressed due to BECs. The whole point of being depressed is because the validity of H1 is only as long as the job is valid. If economic recession hits and there are massive layoffs, even if you are in your first year H1 with 5 years remaining, you would be out of status on your way to becoming genuine illegal. And if you are in 7+ year of H1, then ofcourse you are walking on thin ice.
Trust me, there is desperation out there.
The problem is... The legals think way too much and analyze too much. The illegals get 5 minute guidance from someone on how to talk to lawmakers and they just do it without delving into the "Enemy of the state" kind of movie fantasies.

Well per=country limit is part of the iNS law. So its legal.
From an immigration perspective, green card is a privelege extended to "aliens" and it is the prerogative of the law to ensure a formula thats best for the country.
INS family based immigration law was the one that conjured up the per-country limit to prevent folks from one country from flooding in. Unfortunately, this formula made its way into EB immigration and we are stuck with the consequences today.
So if anything, we should bring up the fallacies in per-country limit as far as skill-based immigration is concerned and get the law changed.
A lawsuit isnt the answer to everything. The chinese EB folks learnt that after spending thousands of dollars and few years on their lawsuit, the judgement they got back was that 'the law is being followed'.
And the comment below about the constitution forbiding anything, with respect to immigration law, is pure nonsense.
1. Constitution overrules any law and has the power to render any law invalid. No nonsense here (which means all that you said about INS,INA etc etc is nonsense)
2. The last para is just your OPINION, so I let it pass
3. Pls refer to my answer to Bugs Bunny, and let me know if you can extend the discussion from that point
