That doesn't contradict anything I said. I was referring to the 38 occupations where you do not need Canadian work experience. I agree that the list is much more restrictive than before. The other way around it is to have a job offer. All I said was that Canadian work/student experience is not mandatory.
I get it....they will keep tweaking it...if too many start applying with the HRDC approved job offer then they will crack down on that.
It happened to H1B to EB2/3 GC thing as well. In early days people even with MS could get Eb1 till there was court case after which
the requirements were tightened.
Now with PERM even EB2 is becoming harder.
The problem is that more people want green card than what the govt wants to give. So they try to come up with filtering criteria
in a varierty of ways...tightening the rules, country quota (in case of US). visa post processing quota in case of Canada etc.

teddy the pun "multi-national managers(via L1A)" was intended. if that makes it clear.
anyway, the focus of this thread was about the president's immigration speech. Atleast the speech included the fact that illegal immigration makes a mockery of legal immigration. understood that any solution also must include finding a way on how to handle the undocumented people.
anyway, the speech for now might be just a start or more "kick in the butt" to let the congress know that they need to start work in CIR. when it comes to fruition is anybody's guess.
Thanks for clarifying !

This is like the banana joke in an old tamil movie, it is over 157 days and the USCIS now wants to go by processing times which mention july 3rd processing date, which is still late, but then they will say it is just one day over your receipt date.

Like the other guy you said, I have an equity of 200,000 in one house and 50,000 in other house. I still don't have green card. I have around 300,000 in
401k and 150,000 in brokerage accounts. My net worth is around 800k, most of my money is in this country. If I want to continue my lifestyle, I need my GC, that will secure my right to live in this country. AFter 9 years of tax paying and law abiding life, I think i have a right to live in this country, but with this stupid laws don't know when i will get my GC.
I don't know other things about your life but about 100% of H1-B holders that I know just dream of being 0.8 millionare.
Also, one thing I find conflictng is that we all claim so much having right to be in this country as Mihir mentioned, plan a retirement home in India or other home countries. But I have seen so many Indians with GC mentioning that they want to go back to India as soon as they become citizen . Honestly if I am in USCIS and know this, I am gonna make it as tough as possible for that ethnic group to get GC's.
As far as the question of spouse working or not, hell I do not want to work myself given a chance, why would someone feel bad about not being able to work, as log as we can provide them with all they want (Not only all they need).

I read in murthy.com that asking money for H1 b is illigal. below is the link for more info
http://murthy.com/news/n_hfraud.html
Fraud vs. Technical Violations
For purposes of the BFCA, fraud is defined as a willful misrepresentation, falsification, or omission of a material fact. Technical violations, essentially, are errors, omissions, and failures to comply that are not within the fraud definition.
�MurthyDotCom
Examples of items that were categorized as technical violations include instances of employers requiring H1B workers to pay filing fees that are designated by regulation to be the obligation of the employer, as well as the deduction of other H1B-related fees from employees' wages, and, thereby, reducing the wages of these H1B workers to levels below the LCA wage requirement. Other technical violations included general failure by employers to pay beneficiaries at least the prevailing wage for the occupations within their particular geographic locations as listed on the LCAs, employment of H1B workers in geographic locations not covered by valid LCAs, and the benching of H1B employees. The fact that these were characterized as technical violations does not mean that, if found to be intentional, they could not fall under the definition of fraud.

That is not an issue You can freely go. Almost no questions about job when using AP. I used it 3 times so far. f some one randomly asks, may be you can mention that you used AC21.
I had a question on the experience at POE if one has used AC-21 and working for an employer who is doing the W-2 but the person actually works at the client site.
All the posts I see here have been that people were randomly questioned on POE about whether they are still working for their sponsoring employer or not?
What about my case? I had filed I-485 during July fiasco, had an approved I-140 then. Changed jobs on EAD using AC-21 in Oct 2008, and again changing now second time.
The first change I did was when I was working with the same employer who had given me
the EVL.
I never travelled out of US during this time.
Now I will be working at a client site, which is different from the employer's address. Just want to know if there could be any issues?
Or is it advisable to not go to India until GC comes... which could be infinite number of years...

One thing that forces you to believe its true is the date itself, why 8 MAY ? it somehow paints a picture that somebody did calculated the remaining visa numbers and arrived at the exact comfortable date. Guys, chances are its fake, but you never know. :)
Folks, we need to stay hopeful. If you notice the date towards end is 9th august which would mean VB should have been released today which didn't happen. The release date for last few VB is also 9th. It doesn't take too much effort to copy an old bulletin and replace month with September and change some dates here and there with likely dates which would still look very authentic. Seems like someone hacked into this no name website for sadistic pleasure...someone who is not very pleased with significant EB2 movements in last 2 months.
The formating is also off. All other pages have a professional look. Why would the webmaster of a professional firm not pay attention to this. This indeed looks like a cheap hacking trick done in a bit haste. I am quite positive that real september VB with Q's predictions coming true will come tomorrow :) So my suggestion is to relax and have a good night sleep. Next day truth will reveal itself

My sincere advice to the OP is to avoid posting such sensitive questions on a public board (as can be seen from the backlash by a majority of the posters).
OP , your best bet would be to get a consultation done with an immigration lawyer. And don't worry about others labeling you as a criminal, what's done is done, the important thing is that you learn from your mistakes and never do this again. good luck.

Guys -
Dont lose "Hope". Its the most audacious word. I left the country in May 2009 with frustration , anger and the fact that whenever I was finding a contract in that tough times peoples were even NOT interviewing me the moment they heard that I'm a "H". They dont want to hear if I have EAD or my GC is going on - PERIOD. The vendors and contacts who loved me ( because they ripped high billing from me in 2000-2009) even started ignoring me.
I felt harassed that i'm fighting on a "non-level" playing field. Eventually I got something at CA (I live at MA) for 55/hour and on the other hand I got a top notch salary offer from a US born Hardware company's Offshore office at Bangalore, India. They SHIPPED all jobs from US to India. I took that offer because I have my Old parents there at India and missed their company for 9+ yrs ( apart from regular vacations).
However I could not adjust with several things there and ran back here after 10 months and found a truly EB2 job and ported my EB3 Mar 2005 Priority Date to EB2 in less than 1 year - I'm CURRENT ( YAAAYY !!) and Waiting for GC to come any day....
By the way - I'm not M.S from US or any kind of masters degree holder from anywhere. I have a strong B.E degree from one of the Top 10 engineering colleges of India (not I.I.T though) and 11+ yrs US experience and 12+ yrs total IT experience in my kitty.
Nothing is impossible - Wish Best of Luck to all EB3 India guys , you have the ability to turn the game , just play it truthfully and play it smart.
Let me know if anyone needs any help - Email me or PM me.
Regards,
Diptam

DISCLAIMER: SPECIFIC TO THE INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
I am sorry but I disagree with the "best among the best" comment. To equate success in the IIT entrance exam to being the best is a mistake. Success in the entrance exams to those Insititutions comes from focus and hard work. This does not necessarily mean that the people who go there are the best. They ARE definitely the best at preparing for the exam.
Keeping debates on "education standards" aside, from a middle-school student's perspective its definitely not easy to get into a decent higher educational institute in India; what with reservations and the enormous competition . We cannot deny that higher education opportunities are definitely better(though more expensive) in the developed countries.

One simple suggestion which is less comlicated than all those above.
BTW you don't need rbi clearance.
You can send an overseas wire from india through your bank a/c where the cost would be minimal( only exchange rate diff and cost of wire($25-50).
Your parents can safely gift you $100,000 a year. Your bank only would need a letter from them saying its a gift.
I have tried this to repatriate my assets and it works all the time.
No need to open nre or nro a/c or anything.
ps. don;t entertain any solicitation on this site for reverse hawala or anyhthing as you don;t know who will cheat you!
just my 2 cents
I know this is possible although I did not try this. I think you need to get a certified letter from CA. But can you give the money from your account and again have them gift you ? I mean wouldn't the bank check this is the same money that you gave to your parents previously.
Btw, you can get upto $100K from your NRE account without RBI's permission. Also you deposit your Rent, interest etc that you get in India, into the Repatriatable NRO account and repatriate here in USA.

not a single person has explicity voted "No". In reality though, everyone who has viewed this thread (1563 views when I last checked - even if you assume each person has checked this thread at least 10 times, that's about 156 individuals out of whom only about 35 have voted so far!) and not bothered to vote is essentially voting "No"! However, again as you point out, I am not really looking for the "No"s since these people have clearly decided they don't want to part with their money at this stage (not ascribing any reasons or motives here - just stating the facts). .....Cheers
Its a wrong fallacy to assume that NOs = people who dont want to part with their money at this stage. Let me put it this way for you with an example :-
Poll
1. Yes I want e-bill to save tree.
2. No I dont want ebill and I care a damn about the trees
3. Dont Care
The above poll is a loaded poll favoring one option only. Is the only reason someone may not want ebill is that they dont care a damn about the trees. NOPE. It can be a lot of other reasons - they may feel not so good about internet security or may not be internet savvy. And of course, paper bills can be on recycled paper and whole lot of other arguments are not covered.
Similarly your poll is very much loaded.
And again, you havent defined "more". Currently, I believe the contribution limit is 25 dollars per month. When you say more - what number are you thinking of. And now look at the folks who said YES. What numbers are they looking at. If you had put in a number and said "are you willing to pay x dollars per month .." - then you can be assured of that the members who say YES are on the same page as you. Right now, what you have is a number of folks but they may not be on same page.
And what is the definition of "updates" ? We are not working here on a fixed time project where the deliverable is due at the end of period 'x'. For quite a lot of period, the updates will be generic and on the lines of "we are working on getting to our goals and we are making progress". You will not get any more details than this. Turn around and check with the folks who said YES -- is this what they are expecting. Or they are expecting something different.
25 dollars per month equates to 0.6 % of annual salary for someone making 50k and only 0.3% of someone making 100k. Is this a big amount - Yes and No. It clearly depends on the individual. For lobbying you agree that the amount required is way more than what we currently are able to raise.
IV has probably 25k+ registered users. This is a good number to look at. Practically, how many of them have logged in and used this system for the last six months and three months and last month. I dont know the exact number but have a strong feeling that this number will probably in the 10-15 percentile only. And guests is not equal to an unregistered IV member. Not every person posts on this site. There are a lot of people who just browse the forums and dont post - they dont need to login everytime they come on to this site - therefore you will see a good chunk of visitors but they necessarily are not unregistered members.
Your intentions are good - but the approach you took needs to be refined further. None of what I wrote above is personally against you - I appreciate your efforts but feel that we need to approach it differently - probably equating updates with money is not a good approach given that once someone gives money , they may start having a feeling of entitlement and we may not be ready to handle it.

Lets support this bill, there is a website I am trying to remeber the address, I heard while driving on kfyi radio station, where all the bills are listed and people can poll on bills and this will help the lawmakers to find what bill is popular and which one is not.
I'll try to find and post it on the forum, we can poll and support this bill.

welcome to the world of retrogression. it is only going to get worse from here on out.
with the deluge of filings in june/july and aug. this year....the retrogression will get worse. USCIS will not make the same mistake again.
How the hell can all the catagories after EB3 be current yet EB3 be back logged???? By rights they should be unavilable until we are current.
This is just so unfair.
i can not put in to words just how anoyed i am right now.
