[QUOTE=addsf345;726872]I have similar experience. I moved to sunrocket (which is now teleblend) from vonage. I pay half of what I used to pay vonage for same services/usage.
currently teleblend offers $50 unlimited india calling + ofcourse US+canada unlimited. However as now vonage has come up with $25 world plan, I am sure teleblend would come up with something similar soon... may be $20 world plan or so. As they always price it below vonage. Let's hope! competition is good for consumer.[/QUOT
I belive ultimately all the big phone service providers like Reliance, Airtel and Tata will reduce the calling rates to match/beat VOIP providers like Vonage.
This will be the saving grace to keep down the telephone expenses.

The letter campaign resulted in 5000 odd letters from the entire EB community. This included efforts from some very hardworking IV people who did not spend time on the forums but went out and collected 100s of letters, one collected more than a thousand letters. So i am guessing that not more than 2000 EB folks got their collective butts to participate in the letter campaign.
if you expect EB2 I and the so call US educated (i am too, hence i can use 'so called') folks to stop chatting on the forums and send money and letters in the tens of thousands, then please tell me want you smoke --- i would like to inhale some of that magic too.
good luck towards your efforts. if you make it happen then, in all honesty, i would also like to nominate you to the core team, if you dont then i have a bridge in brooklyn that i want to sell.
Good for you...
People if you don't wake up now it will be too late. There are thousands of cases like this...

all this is because of the stupid indian government.. they dont have treaties with any other country in the world... that is called visa reciprocation.
All tom, dick and harry to enter india needs a visa and hence all countries dont have that treaty...
the 2 countries tat dont need visas are St.Kitts and Nevis and jamaica....LOL

I received I-485 approval letter from USCIS today which reads as follows:
"The above application has been approved. Prior to receiving your permanent resident card you may be required to report for biometrics processing (photo/fingerprint/signature). Please do not take any action at this time. If you are required to report for this processing, you will receive another notice advising you of the date, time and location to appear.
If you have not received your permanent resident card or the above mentioned notice to appear for biometrics processing within 90 days, please call this office at the number listed above."
Did anyone receive a notice like this? How many days did it take to get the biometric notice after this notice if anyone received the above?
My wife already received her physical green card although she is beneficary of my application.
I was planning on going to India in Nov, but can't book now as I don't know how long it will take :mad:
I don't think InfoPass will entertain me to request for Biometrics especially since this notice tells to wait.
Anyone with similar notice, any inputs are greatly appreciated. Thank you friends!!

The law unambiguously states that for employment based categories - EB1 spillover should first go to EB2 and whatever is not required by both EB1 and EB2 will spillover to EB3. If the USCIS has been doing something different previously they were actually not following the letter of the law.
Here are the relevant sections of the INA which unambiguosly states the above.
Here is what Section 203 of the Immigration and Nationality Act states -
EB1 -
(1) Priority workers. - Visas shall first be made available in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (4) and (5),...............
EB2 -
(2) Aliens who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or aliens of exceptional ability. -
(A) In general. - Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraph (1) ...............
EB3 -
(3) Skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.-
(A) In general. - Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), .........
If all these years they were misinterpreting the law, where were lawyers and AILA raising their voice to correct this mistake? This error was deeply affecting the clients of lawyers.
We need to see more proactive activism of lawyers in matters such as these that are very important for the community. If not, members need to learn the law and do such research themselves. IV core team has been trying its best to read the law and create presentations and research documents whenever we have an important action item or bill on the floor. I would urge the community to read the law on their own as and when needed and raise their awareness.

Thank you, FatJoe, for sharing your experience.
Would you mind sharing which state you reside in? I am wondering if anyone contacted Maryland senators/congressmen.
Neelu:
My attr said that uscis does not follow any chrological order to approve cases. Rather, it takes any 485 application filed before Jan 22, 05. So, your point on "giving more time" won't work here.
This is what I did. I did not get GC yet though, but got to know where I'm at.
1. Contacated NCS numerous times and raised two SRs.
2. Took inforpass a couple of times. Infopass IOs have more detailed info about our cases.
3. Contact Senator requesting that my appln be assigned to an IO, and it was done so. It is with an IO now. Hoping and praying that my IO picks up application to approve it this week.
4. Contacted Ombudsman late last week. Hoping to get some good actions taken on my application.
5. You might consider contacting Janet Napolitino as well.
All the best.

Is that mean they are going to move the PDs much further and again move back during the end of the year!!
So isn't this implying that the PDs will advance very very further than the available visa numbers!!!!!!!!!!
.
The way i read that statement is that DOS is being cautious and don't want to move the dates way ahead at one go, dates will move by some degree in May and then bulletin will have projected dates for future months, this way if DOS sees demand from porting in Sept, it may not move EB2 dates at all...My 2C.

gc26...., It seems that you have missed the point again. Any logical person will have the capability to comprehend that this thread is against visa abuse in L1 category.. If you still didn't get it, objective is to explore the options to report abuse of L1. Benefits are: genuine people still get the opportunity, reduce over supply in market, not bring wages down etc.
Its that simple. If you can give me 1 good reason to not bring this issue up, I can definitely discuss the issue. But, stop giving me this crap about raising voice and being right...
Totally, non baseless argument by you and Ganguteli...
I never said raising this issue is illegal. BTW I was not replying to "l1fraud". My comment was directed at "dilipcr" who is of the opinion that Grassley's bill is good and IV core and the forum should support it so that he can have a secure job.
BTW is l1fraud or others raising this issue out of love for law ? no way. That was my point.

Not only the laptop but all your personal items such as purse, camera etc. BOYCOTT UK. These people are racist.
Sorry to hear all these stories.
I always fly either Singapore or Cathay Pacific (i am from California) and i never encountered these problems at the transit points (Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul etc). Infact Singapore is one of the most pleasant airports for any layover. Usually, whenever i fly Singapore, i have a layover of over 9 hours, but the airport is so huge and so many nice facilities that one rarely gets bored (You can get a complementary tour of the city too, courtesy Singapore tourism or get a nice room inside the airport to relax, get a massage...). Add to that, ppl are so friendly there and you can see many Asians (Indians etc) working there that the environment is friendly and non-hostile, unlike most of th European transit points. (Earlier, i have flown via Frankfurt, Amsterdam where ppl were really hostile, as though every colored Asian that passes through their airports is a terrorist or an inferior human ...sick!)
Anyways..if you can take an extra flight from the east coast, please do try Singapore airlines from SFO or LAX and see the difference (no, no, i am not being paid to say good words about them :-))...

To Add to what you have said, I would say getting EB2 approval is almost impossible because not only is DOL cracking down on EB2 perms because of bad economy, DOL also knows that people are trying to reapply in Eb2 to jump ahead and they are stopping that practise.
The following information is asked in the first field of ETA form 9089.
"1. Are you seeking to utilize the filing date for a previously submitted application for Alien Employemnt Certification (ETA 750)?"
"1-A. If Yes, enter the previous filing date"
"2-A. "Indicate the previous SWA or local offiice case number OR, if not available, specify the state where case was originally filed:"
With the above information from form 9089 DOL knows the people who are trying to jump ahead by interfiling. Thats an almost gaurenteed audit. The attorneys already know this and this is the reason why many companies are not entretaining filing any EB2 perm. If anybody is lucky they might find a company willing to file eb3 perm after 6 months but no company wants to file Eb2 perm. interfiling \porting from eb3 to eb2 is a pipe dream, people cant even get eb3 approvals or alteast companies willing to file eb3 perm.
"interfiling" to use old EB3 PD for new EB2 is not the easiest path for EB3-I guys specially if they have used AC21 and work on EAD now ( Most of us are in this category). Priority date porting is not an issue, USCIS does not have a problem with that. The problem is with "Job definition and level". While one use AC21 claims job position matching EB3 job classification and if there no enough progression gap between AC21 usage and "inerfiling" It becomes hard for a lawyer to convince USCIS that fellow is matching EB2 capability under same job classification. Hundred of such intefilings are waiting without no action from USCIS. My lawyer's advice wait till we logically can establish the skill progression, in other words minimum 3 years of wait from the day AC21 usage. And other important thing is "real promotion" in position should happen at employment and this whole explanation is based on assumption of employment at the same employer. If you change employment inbetween after AC21 usage and before interfiling , your 3 years wait cycle starts from new emploment date. I have not filed "interfiling" just because of these reasons and waiting for correct time to do that. In other words Eb3-I is really and badly screwed.

THe reason USCIS is showing low numbers for the reason that , no one will then raise the question for recpature. Looking at the numbers they will say, O, the numbers are so low, whats the need for recapture and we will be left hanging cold and dry.
This is a plot of a well planned strategy.
I don't think you should be drawing conclusions , or thinking of conspiracy theories.

I am also from India but the point I am discussing here is clearly a violation of law by Outsourcing vendors including IBM (not just Indian companies), TCS, Wipro etc. I work for a medium size consulting firm based in US and on H1 visa ...and I am impacted by these violations and I think I have the right to oppose this act.... to prove my identity shud I tell you my stories in Chennai consulate... or shud I tell u abt my days in b'lore or shud I tell you all abt my 24 years in India.. you can decide :-).
BUT regarding the L1 violation we have decided and this time the vendor is exposed to the authorities and justice is done. We have the support of good client managers who understands visa regulations.

Vonage was just responding to the competition.
Lingo has a world plan which included unlimited calling to 30 countries( India not included)
India calls were just 2 cents per minute. I switched to Lingo from Vonage 2 months back. Sensing this mass exodus, vonage came up with an even more aggressive plan.
Competition is good !
How is your experience with Lingo customer service. Last year, I tried to switch to Lingo and the lady at customer service is very rude. She is so tired to answer questions and asked me to get all from website. I stopped switching to them.
