A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.
500,000 Legal immigrants in limbo:
lets say (I mean lets Tell them) 1/5 th of that # buy on an average $300K houses.
That equates to $30 billion.. Not a bad #. But I am sure all want to buy houses eventually. Thats $150 billion. Not a small #.
Lets say (again tell them).
1/100 th of 500,000 start companies, of 5 employees each=25,000 jobs.. Not bad again.
This idea is inline with our IV campaign that was discussed sometime back. We can tell in different forms to the media. Somebody may publish.

just for comparison sakes...do remember that the distance from churchgate to virar (in bombay) is 35 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Suburban_Railway.
That is equivalent of approx 22 miles. I doubt there is anybody is bombay that drives 35 km one way on a daily basis. But in the US living 10-20 miles from work is not bad. People in my office drive about 40 miles one way without blinking an eyelid. Some drive even more. Plus the cars that they have in india have smaller engines, smaller capacity thereby better gas mileage.
So for people who say gas is a non issue, think again.
Yes, thinking again, my opinion still remains the same. Gas prices in the US moved up from 25c a gallon in the late 60s to what it is now. No one stopped driving on account of that. Ditto with India.
I say, we will not see signifcant changes in the US lifestyle due to increasing gas prices. People will adapt and continue to do what they are doing. But this is theory and cannot be substantiated with evidence. Hence, I accept I could be wrong too.

Can we see a list of all the positive outcomes of the various advocacy events, lobbying etc done by IV for the EB immigrant community please?
And, if any of those good outcomes are being implemented by USCIS to ease the EB backlogs?

I saw that as well. Thanks for the pointer. On the form 129 Part 2, Question 4 it asks for prior receipt number. Would the current receipt number and the old I 94 suffice? I dont see her H1 being approved ahead of her H4 as there will be a deluge of applications on Apr 1st.

Country caps, recapture, STEM exemption kind of provisions are the only hope.
Just for my understanding, why are we not talking about excluding dependents from EB count? If each primary applicant consumes nearly 2.5 visa, then excluding dependents will definitely be useful.
We don't talk about this because it is not feasible to achieve? Or does it slips out of our mind?
NB: I am not sure about the number 2.5; I remember this number from another thread.

Hi Learning01,
I did not want to "steal" your idea about publicity of the problem back in our countries. I just developed and enhanced the idea :-)
And I do not think we should be ashamed of the fact that this great country screwed us and made more than half a million highly educated and trained people (spouses included) chasing for a decade a mirage called GC and looking like idiots.
For example, I came here on L1 visa (intra-company transfer) in the beginning of 2000 - very big international company with big presentation in the States. The initial information I had from colleagues and management was that permanent residence can be taken in certain reasonable period, providing that you worth it. I did my part of the deal, my company management also did their part but the US government changed the rules of the game and I got screwed.
Shall I be ashamed because the US government does his best to kick me and another half a million like me out of the country? Definitely not, that is not my fault! Neither should be the rest of of the legal immigrants caught in the mud created by US agencies. Our applications gather dust in DOL offices without reply for years and we should be ashamed of that ?! One of the ways we can pay back for this "favor" is to tell the thrue story to the world - honesly and openly.
In fact I believe that the US government should feel ashamed of the mess they created.
My 2 cents :-)

Because of illegals granted amnesty any legal immigrant filing after Apil 30, 2001 faced longer waits and backlogs because they consumed the existing quota of immigrant visas. In essencem legals were penalized for obeying the law and standing in line.
Let's do a poll to see how many EB3IND folks will be willing to be a party to a class action lawsuit to provide relief. Obviosuly if the lawsuit prevails the plaintiff's pending GC applications will be approved. GCOP, mirage or anyone else- want to put up a poll (i don't know how to do it)
This might be a better option for many who cannot do a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit

gimme_my_gc, do you have EAD?
If yes then.. you are NOT out of status...only worry would be Annual W2 salary of your needs to be around gross specified in Labor..
Hi All,
I just joined this site today and wanted to get some input on the following situation:
My current situation is:
Working for a company ABC
completed 6 years on H1 and currently in the 7th year extension
Green card in process for more than a year - Eb3 with PD Jun 2002, I-140 approved
Can extend H1B again in about 6 months, for a 3 year extension
The question I have is , if one has a valid extended H1B for the 7th year and beyond, what happens if one were to lose their job during the extended H1B period, without getting their GC?
1) Can they continue to stay till the end of the extended H1B period by applying for a job with another company?
2) Or should they leave the USA as the first 6 years have been completed without getting a GC, and the extended H1B period would become invalid as soon as they lose the job with the company that processed the extended H1B?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I am not sure how effective these new laws are. I recently renewed my Texas DL after expiry...I renewed it online...expecting for them to ask me for visa documents...instead I got the new DL in mail a few days later.
Maybe the databases are connected somehow & they verified my immigration details....but I very much doubt it. Sometimes you wonder why its so easy to be an illegal immigrant in the US.
However I did notice (in a city nearby in the same state - not the one I live in) that when you go in person, they ask for visa details.

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!

No.
The only requirement is that both I-140 must have same beneficiary and all I-140 must belong to eb-1, eb-2, OR eb-3 preference categories.
The Priority Date recapture applies ONLY for immigrant petitions (I-140) approved under EB-1, EB-2 or EB-3 classification.

We got our EAD in the mail today - We are late June filers (29th June) and got our receipt numbers last week, - I have some q's-
-Can one get EAD without completing FInger printing? In the finger priniting colum on the EAD it says - not available, Would that matter?
-How does one activate his/her EAD?
-Have any other late june filers already got their EAD?
Thanks
Sheetal
yes one can get EAD without FP, first EAD will be like that for all
since EAD processing seems faster than RD, FP etc.
Please read other threads before posting a new one.

I have sent the following email to Mr. Tytler.
Although I am not sure how Mr. Tytler would react, I thought, it doesn't hurt to try.
Unfortunately, I do not know any one in the political circles in India. May be members hailing from the New Delhi area could help garner support.
************************************************** *******
Dear Mr. Jagadish Tytler,
I am writing to you from the Seattle area in Washington state of the United States, on behalf of the NRI community in the USA. In December 2005, a group of professionals comprising of software engineers, physicians and the like have started a forum called Immigration Voice that strives for improvements in the outdated and restrictive US Immigration laws that is impacting the NRI community.
Sir, You are very well aware of the contribution in terms of the foreign exchange and investments NRIs bring about in India. I am writing this email to you to make you aware of the efforts of this group, numbering over 1000 members, which is working with Senators and Representatives of the United States.
The website is located at http://www.immigrationvoice.org
The group has solicited contributions from members, and has currently signed up Quinn Gillespie and Associates, a public affairs firm which will lobby our interests with the Senators and Representatives.
We would like to invite you to participate in our efforts, and help us in bringing about greater awareness at a political leadership level.
Thanking you,
