I know a EB2 India application (obviously not mine) that was approved after this July fiasco and no where I could find his PD date current in those previous months (except July where everyone was current). After this guy got his GC, I am convinced there is no "system" in place. It is all random and you can't really predict anything. :mad:
Congrats OP :-)

Thanks gcisadawg for Stats. I do agree with gcisadawg , EB3 will get again 3000/4000.
I do agree with kartikiran, if we don't do team effort, it is not going to happen anything.
IV team: Please consider this, please make a plan and designate the people.
I am ready to do for AZ Senator and House members.
We start writing if someone open a new thread for EB3, that thread would be active for one or two days and after 2 days that thread would be dead.
Group please come together and keep this thread active.

If it does, please post back.
If only we had 1000 people contributing at least $20 each...

This posting is not to dishearten anyone but to make everyone aware of the obstacles on the path. I followed up on Science article and talked to Jim Austin, the
lead for ScienceCareer efforts of Science journal group. The baseline of my conversation goes as: there is limited funding, limited opportunities even for US born scientists, then is it wise to "import on permanent basis" scientists from abroad?Yes, it is good to have the best here, but what we (USA) require is education and training of US-born first ...
Take home message for us guys is this: These are the people the congress hears out first when they want to make policy changes. These are the people who were able to convince NIH to double its funding in 5 years time a couple of years back. These are the people who are now saying that there is no job and money for US-born, so first get more fundingand training for us citizens, before you get foreigners to carry out research ...
It is obvious that the issue is becoming more and more acrimonious, entangled with a lot of other issues - both political and economic. Unless the retrogressed are willing to take this to heart and put up an intense effort, in coming years the matter is going to get worse. Next few months could be the only ***healthy*** window of time to achieve a remedy for retrogression. Not only the economy is driving anti-highskillimmigration groups more vocal, we are slowly finding the pro-immigrant support base thinning out because of very bad fiscal situations.
great work everyone. thank you nycgal and others that took initiative and pushed this effort further. committed members like all of you in this thread help us a lot by sending emails to reporters. several letters highlighting a particular issue generates interest in reporters and media orgs and they choose to write about us. It is not easy to get even a single article published in newspapers and it is due to the efforts of our members, we are able to generate awareness. There is still a long road ahead of us and I am sure with active participation from everyone, we will surely succeed.

I'm also going to do a FOIA request for my I-140 that got approved in Jan 08. Employer is saying its their petition and they wont share it. I'm not going into argument because they revoke it now - The Legal Immigration system is too weak and too much lopsided to a "employer" rather than on the "individual employee"
I know during a PD porting to another AC21 employer this approval notice is sufficient even if the I-140 is revoked but my doubt is if my I-140 gets revoked can i switch to another employer and extend my H1B by 3 more years ??
rsn75,
Thanks for providing link for FOIA Request Status Check (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.8d416137d08f80a2b1935610748191a0/?vgnextoid=f3a2ba87c7a29110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=f3a2ba87c7a29110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD). I requested I-140 Approval Notice. My status shows 'Your request is currently number 3869 of 5790 pending requests in Track One.'

Exactly what happens when thousands of people contact senators instead of one fax from one organization with one point of contact just so that if some one actually calls back from the senator’s office we at least have some one who could explain the situation in a way that makes sense?
There is another side to that coin, Senators will not be swayed on an issue unless it directly affects a constituent of theirs. AILA has fax and mail campaigns and so do anti-immigrant organizations such as NumbersUSA who according to their organization last week in only 3 days claim to have sent 120K faxes! IMHO one fax will not cut it, a hard copy letter with every single member's name signed to it would be great but picture the logistics with only 2 days to act. I again refer to AILA, AILA has sent letters (see my earlier post referring to the links) but also urges the public and pro-immigrant groups to contact congress enmasse with content that they provide. As for the person who couldn't articulate the issues, that is indeed unfortunate as one in a worst case scenario can always give their personal story, be it retrogression, BECs, H1 cap, H4 inability to work etc etc or if they need to gather their talking points request an appointment to discuss the issue.

I dont think we need to waste our time about such non competent organizations , let them take the credit , it just shows that this was a great idea. Looking at their website it does look like they have some good contacts .
I think immigration voice should write them a formal letter and ask them to publicise this to their "contacts" ..
If they got themselves into this picture well,lets put them to work!

Time of signing the contract also is very important. If you signed the contract after H1 transfer or joining the assignment will not have much impact. Because you signed that contract under pressure or without any option. Also any unpaid time (bench) is plus point for you. You can extract that money from them easily after leaving the company. Recently there was such case in NJ.
I think before joining any of these companies, as an employee we should ask these questions with out any hesitation. Before joining, these employers will talk very friendly. That point we can not ask below questions because employer looks like a friend.
1) Conditions leaving the company.
We should also agree for reasonable conditions. I think 6 months is reasonable. By that time they make their expenses.
We should make it very clear that we are not going to stay with the company as bonded labor.
2) GC Process. Attorney. Documentation.
We should be very clear on what happens if you leave the company before getting GC.
Will you get the paper work (Labor, I 140 copies) as soon they are approved?
Transparency. Control over the process
Can you have your own lawyer?
3) Joining the client where you are working?
most of us finding projects/clients on our own. There is nothing employer is doing to find these clients. What are the terms. In these difficult situations clients may not be ready to pay head hunting fee to middle company and your employer.
4) Payment.
When and how will we get paid?
Even I did not ask these questions before joining. But moving forward I would like to ask these questions.
Hello Guys,
I need your advice here. Six month ago i joined one of the many blood suckers -Desi cosulting company in new jersey. As you all know, they ask me to sign their contract in which its mention that if i leave their company before 1 year then i need to pay them 15k. Thy also charge me 3k for my H1-B which i am still paying everymonth from my paycheck and we have 70/30. In just six months i am so much fed up with them. These people are so rude...always show their arrogance over phone. I have no libarity to find job by myself. They always looking for higher pay rate sp that their big money tummy get filled up.and i also feel that they didnt told me the right pay rate for the project i am working on right now.
I really want to leave them, Even before 12 months. Is there any importance of that contract letter i signed with them?. Can they Sue me? What are my options? Please suggest me.....i am in stress.
Thnx

What are you talking about? There are a limited number of green cards each year. The US wants the best of the best to get these green cards. Therefore, more preference is given to those with a higher degree or more experience. What's unjust or unfair about that? The trick is to look at things from the American perspective and not from the immigrant perspective.
And for the record, I am an EB3. well ..the problem is by the time EB3 - person gets his chance --he may become more qualified than a EB2 candidate ..esp in IT. for eg -- tell me who is more qualified.
say a person does MS (maybe from timbuktu) has 1-2 years experience (EB2) ..and there is another EB3 person with 4 year college - 3 yr experience when he applied in 2001 .(so now he has 10 yr experience and along the way he got certifications etc) ..so now who is more valuable ??
the problem is there are (some have been rectified) lot of loopholes, problems, inefficiencies (and I care rat's a__ attitude at USCIS) ..how else can you justify the wastage of visas every year ..when the US needs immigrants just as immigrants need US.
now since we cannot do much for the above ..people should have this attitude (esp EB3 - I) ..don't get stuck in a hole and at the back of mind ..be prepared that one day (maybe 10 years from now in u apply today) u may get a letter (485 denied or asking you for a paystub from the last century) i.e. be mobile (don't get stuck with immovable assets)

Just work for those 6 H1B yrs and get the hell out of this country. Dont make a fool of urself and others by saying things like "at this moment" hez a citizen of another country blah blah blah...I know a few friends who just love India and would wanna go back after earning dollars for those 6 yrs H1B lets u work for. I appreciate such ppl...not ppl like u who try to "show off" that they r citizens of another country by shouting slogans and at the same time apply for permanent residencies with other countries...SHAME ON U PPL! U r a disgrace not only to US but to India and to the whole world as well.

Sorry - Not everybody is(or wants to be like) Narayan Moorthy.
I bet Narayan Moorthy doesnt have time(if not willingness) to clean his toilet NOW. Maybe we wud have when he was younger(before Infosys) which is a different stroy altogether.
I always cleaned my room, in India and here. What's wrong with that? Infosys founder Narayan Murthy cleans his own toilet (as per his own admission to a newspaper). Does it make him an 'inferior' person to you? Don't you vacuum your room every weekend? Does that make you any lesser person? Ever heard of dignity of labor?
You wrote - "Humans, listen, life is not 1000 years, it is very short, dont waste the best part of your life waiting for gc". So what are you doing ? Not waiting for GC? Then why are you hanging around? There are good opportunities back home . Those sitting in deep-sh*t shouldn't be throwing muck at others stuck in the same sh*t.

Franklin got her gc. She is still such a motivated member. IV is fortunate to have her. I didn't intend to defend her, she is more than capable to do that on her own. Just wanted to add this information because that makes a sea change in raising the level of conversation on this thread.
The contrast is amazing, people who are stuck in the system are not as involved, while members like Franklin and Aman, who have came out of the "limbo" still want to help others.
Now I am more shocked than ever at her level of energy at the rally (which I personally witnessed) I am sure she has been doing a lot more behind the scenes as well.
Those who have done nothing but visit this site, need to look at folks like this and get some motivation and step up to the plate.

I've the same question. It sounds pretty stupid that Indian government allows you to have Indian passport if you register the child within one year. Looks like the child has no say in the process. Also, once the child gets Indian passport, can she revert back to US citizenship and hold US passport by renouncing Indian passport? Or do she need to wait 18 years? Once the child holds Indian passport, then does she need to get US visa stamp to enter US? Also, can the child hold both US and Indian passport?
well said my friend and i agree with you completely. although, i grappled with this issue when we had a baby.......the question where i got stumped was - if i got Indian Citizenship for my child (born in US), what would be the child's legal status here? and, also if we were traveling outside the country - how would the child reenter US?

I agree with you. PenDot does not give online extension for non-immigrants(if it was mentioned originally that you are foreigner when you first got your license). Also they extend visa for H1 only after you get approved extension letter in hand. They do not accept receipt notice. I think they accept i-485 receipt notice to extend you Driving license though.

I got mine and my wife insurance with him for $15 a month covering 250K Term Life insurance ( We are on H1 )
Check for any Farmers agents in your area.
Good luck.
