I agree with you 200%. This new change will severely cause further retrogression.
The only thing that can disturb the trend for March VB is the new rule about NC>180 day pending.

No overriding was done :P
Yes, I know. I was just saying you could have if you wanted to. You know, to narrow them down and all.
But you made the right decision, of course! :D

From what i know, if you have an Indian Passport and a US Green card, the only countries you can travel to without any visitor/tourist visa requirements are India, USA, Canada, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Mexico (Thanks to Sunny1000 for confirmation of Mexico and Dominican Republic)
Are there any other countries I can go to which don't require a Visa or will grant a visa on arrival?
Thanks.

If you missed last time In 2008 then dont bother. You can still claim with 2008 tax filing. (If you are eligible).
Dont do these mistakes
1. File Married Filing seperately and later amend the tax return. You will do a Big mistake and many times case is screwed and you will lot of problems. I personally handle some of the cases where client screwed the case and we correct the tax return. But for CPA also is a Big pain. and most of the time IRS people will confused and you will be keep getting demand letter and they will treat as a seperate tax return.
2. 2008 payment was just a estimated payment only. This will trueup with 2008 tax filing (in 2009).
Pl consult with CPA / Good tax preparer who has good knoweledge how to handle immigrant taxes.

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

There are several studies but this recent one I found was interesting and I recently posted about this as well.
This is from the 2010 Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Check out page 12/13 -
An interesting 2000 study showed that a selective immigration policy that admitted 1.6 million high-skilled immigrants age 40�44 years old annually into a hypothetical U.S.-style economy with a 50 percent debt-to-GDP ratio would have balanced the budget within five years and eventually eliminated the national debt.

My point of view: Recession or No Recession - If u r strong enough and a needed resource, therez no way they r gonna lay u off --- Again just my POV.
If push comes to shove, it does not really matter how strong you are. I survived the 2K to 2K3, but have seen many smart people suffer.

I don't know much about Canada PR, but the 2nd option sounds good to me. Make sure your new employer is willing to give you a Joining Letter with the similar job responsibilities, job title, etc upon which your 485 is based.
Good Luck.

With the kind of response I saw at the House judicary commitee inspite f making all those calls . I now realize where we are on their priority list , below horses .
Sorry for the sarcasm , I am pretty bitter about the whole thing now after 2 repeated delays .
Even I was under the same impression, but some members like sanju et al say there are still chances and GC issues are on top on the priority list. So lets hope for the best

We had a discussion with our company lawyers about this. We wanted to know if it was possible to file for EB2 after a promotion. They told us the following and said we cannot change (dont know if its bs, you talk to your lawyer.)
a) EB is based on your previous job not the current one. So even when i have worked in my current company for 8 years, the current experience is not counted.
b) The new job/position should have activities more than 50% different to your previous position ( even tho i was eligible for EB2 then, i was suggested EB3, still suffering for that blunder). Unfortunately Software engineer is a position where the job activities include everybody uncle and more.
i think its a different story if you change your job, if you like your job and want to stay then there is little you can do.
Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated

Thank you Hermione (Granger?)
What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Absolutely. Assuming your I-140 is approved/approvable and will not be withdrawn, you will be able to AC21 to your new position after 180 days of I-485 pending. And the best thing, it will only depend on similarity of the job, and no ability to pay questions. Good luck!

Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

Greencard and H-1B expenses should be paid by the employer. Anything else is illegal. I am requesting admins to close this thread.
I think H1B expenses must be paid by employer. However, GC fees need not be... as GC is an optional element (employer is not required to process GC for every H1B employee).

Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.
Pls try to help us increase our membership in your own capacity, in any way you can. This is something everyone on this forum can help us with.
