Pineapple .. you hit the nail right on the head. It is a misconception that everything is cool in India. There are a lot more problems than just your salary. Money is not everything . I think standard of living and less corruption , cleanliness and less crowd do count towards life.
i know i end up getting red dots for speaking up my mind - but i dont seem to learn!
outsourcing is a phenomenon that will slowly expand in scope beyond low-end IT jobs - but the larger issue is that overall economic activity, which was concentrated in a few cities around the world - like NYC, London, Singapore, Tokyo etc., is getting geographically distributed - today more cities/ countries have world class higher education schools, stock exchanges, hospitals, manufacturing companies, banks than ever before...as a result - starting with tier II and tier III cities and eventually NYC, Chicago etc -the pride of place held by many US cities is now going over to places like Mumbai, Jo'berg, East European cities, Brazil, Chinese cities etc......companies are choosing to list their stocks at hitherto unknown exchanges, people are travelling to India and Thailand to get medical treatment done and so on
obviously jobs of all kinds - not just IT jobs - move alongwith the shift in economic activity - and this is not just about saving labor costs - but about overall balancing of demand and supply for land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship.
So, those who have high skill adaptability, geographical mobility and a strong network of professional peers are likely to continue to succeed in this game...having a GC or not would become irrelevant sooner than we probably think..
A personal comment for hpandey - not sure where you live in US- but i cant imagine how living in 300sqft lofts in NYC or shabby NJ suburbs (for many of us) and doing all grocery/ laundry/ housekeeping/ NYC type commute on your own can be any worse than living in delhi or mumbai or bangalore with driver, domestic helps etc. :-)

I filed for my self, wife and two daughters I-485 and EAD with all documents but without I-140 recipt notice instead I enclosed evidences of the cashed check, INS online status print out and cover letter with reciept number.
My application reached on July 2 at 11:34am. No reciept yet. I called INS and representative explained my case will not be denied. If at all, INS will ask for the reciept notice.
I have my reciept notice for I-140 now.
At this point shall I wait or apply one more today with the reciept notice.

I am not sure what a_to_z_Gc is looking for more details, but I would like to now if your case was transferred from NSC to CSC and back.
Those whose cases have transferred back to NSC have not received the FP notices. I would like to know if your case was transferred back to NSC.
My case was transferred from NSC to CSC, and then to TSC. I guess its because my I-140 was approved by TSC. I got my FP notices from TSC.

There is a petition to capture lost visa. If lost visas are recaptured, there will be some relief.
At least that would definetely help. Apparently over the past 5 years they have lost 180,000 visas just becuase.

Its a good thing, hope this will lessen the abuse of the visas by these Indian companies. As I mentioned in another thread, I have seen that H1 and L1s who come from India dont get a very good salary. Not good.
I think they have to pay the minimum wage as declared in their petition.
But I doubt whether they even send those employees on assignments. I guess they process these H1s as a carrot to retain the employees or to preprepared for any future assignments (they may not even come and the visas are never used)...
Wish there is a different category of visas for outsourced kind of work so that H1s can be used by America based companies and H1 is not seen in such a bad light.

Not going to happen - whole point of not giving h1's their Social Security is to use to fund USs' dwindling Social Security funds. H1 is supposed to fund SS for the Baby boomers here. There is no way in hell we will get it before 10 years on H1.

In my case my GC sponsoring employer had consent signed from me before filing my GC that- I need to work for them for 1 yr at least after getting my GC. Otherwise I need to pay them all legal expenses they have spent on my GC process if I leave them before 1 yr.
Is this legal? my employer is top 5 IT firm. (Big pockets to fight anything like this)
Thanks,

Wellwin I am totally agree with your points and whatever you have mentioned in your message is appreciable.
like_watching_paint_dry your points are valid but try to see from the other side I mean think if would have chosen for CP instead of 485.
Please don't hink that CP filers are not contributing in any efforts of immigration voice, I have also sent letters to president for this latest campaign although there was no point mentioned for CP. I know that we can win this battle together.
In short I just want to say that it would be good if we all work together please do consider the CP filers as part of this community.
Thanks

NY consulate is not the greatest but compared to Houston, it is fantastic. Recently I sent my papers for PIO to NY and they took their time but i did get it in 4 weeks time (their website says 2 weeks). I had to make multiple phone calls and if i used the automated system, it would take me to a phone that no one ever answered. If i went through the operator I was invariably forwarded to a wrong department or was told there is no one in the PIO department on that day!! But eventually, I did manage to reach the right person, who told me when to expect the passport and it did arrive in due course. I did send them multiple emails as mentioned at their web page that promised faster responses but till now I have not received any reply till date!
My friend had to send her papers to the consulate in Houston and it is absolutely horrible. Firstly, no one ever answers the phone at any of the listed numbers. An automated response asks you to wait in line and then after an extended duration, you are bumped back to the start of the line. No one replies to emails. Then they send back your passport on flimsy grounds without giving proper reasons. When you send it back, they find a new reason to send it back as my friend had to endure. Eventually, she had to find an 'agent' who charged her $1100 to get her PIO card which he did within a day. When asked to give the breakup of the costs, he said he has to bribe people in the consulate to get the job done.
So this in essence is the real reason why no one answers the phone in Houston or people are given the run about ..corruption. They want you to use the services of these agents who in turn bribe them and get the work done.
NY consulate is slow and tardy but Houston is corrupt, probably all the way to the top. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any way to address these issues!! somewhere i saw a petition doing the rounds on the web complaining about the Houston consulate but I doubt if it will change anything.

They are saying that all those people who were illegal before 1st of Jan 2007 are eligible for Z visa. We all are currently in legal status.
u can easily get an affadavit from someone with a business that says u worked there for a period of x days while ur h1 was with yyy company... that puts u into an illegal category too.
i m growing some tomatoes this summer....maybe i can get additional points if i grow them for 100 days every year and then after another 5 yrs i can get some more points in the new merit based system

Note that after marriage, the GC for spouse needs to be filed under FB category which has a backlog of 4-5 years
F1, b1 and b2 visas are not dual intent (requires non-immigrant intent). On all forms you need to mention the visa status of all relatives who are in the US. So watch for that.
H1, L1 are dual intent visas. Pending I130 does not affect L1 or H1 visa approval since these visas are dual intent. This is usually the safest option.
Follow to join (Consular processing) helps if you were married before the 485 approval.

Congrats suresh..it's good to see Dec 05 getting approved..best option would be to get your wife here on F1..Some of the schools required only TOEFL ..after coming to US get married again in US and apply for 485..if she is currently working in india..u can try L1 too....ofcourse for H-1B u need to wait for one more year..i don't think US embassy in Chennai will get to know u got married unless she tells them..there is no fraud or anything in this..i believe it's like..don't ask, don't say..ur not cheating anyone..trying to find a small loop hole for a very good reason..
Hi All
I just saw the USCIS GC approval email notice - EB2-I - Dec 20'th 2005 Priority Date
I have same issue as few others have. I'm not married yet. I have applied for GC and luckily the GC has been approved (when I really don't want it to be approved). ... Trust me I was praying god all the time.
My priority date is EB2-I Dec 20'th 2005 and god knows how they approved it much before every one else. When all others really want their GC's.
There are lots people who are in queue with Jan 2004 and later priority dates and whose cases are still pending... How could they approve my case so soon...
I have scheduled for a travel to India on August 15'th 2008 to get married. I wanted to marry and get my wife to USA. I 'm engaged with girl at India and all set for marriage this month (August 2008).
I believe my H1-B has been automatically canceled on immediate approval of GC.
How do I get my future wife to USA?. What are the options left out to me now?.
Please excuse me if this is a duplicate thread. I'm really in hurry and could not check all threads properly.
