I am EB-3 ROW PD 2007 Aug. Reading all the Eb-3 I people's angry, I started to wonder what's gonna happen to the EB-3 ROW. Seems like if lots of Eb3-I change to EB2-I , They will probably eat up all the Spillover from Eb1, EB2 ROW from now on. That makes EB-3 ROW and EB-3 I become the same boat.
Is it what gonna happened?
All Indians and Chinese will file only EB2 now onwards:D
The problem is with past filings how to convert them to EB2.

The placement statistics from the Rotman school of Management website is quite impressive.
I've a few questions for you. How bright are the job prospects after doing an MBA from U of T in the current recession wolrd? Are part-time MBA students given equal opportunity in job placements? What's the % of placement among Canadian vs US employers?. Howmuch salary can a person with Engineering degree + US experience + Canadian MBA expect to get?
Placement statistics there are hyped up. Not that great. However the US ones are also hyped. So lets be fair here. US school dont tell
foreign students that without GC employers dont even want to look at you. Even Harvard foreign students are having a very bad time.
Plus here they allow spouse to work. If the marriage is more than 3 years , then that
spousal work permit leads to resident tuition as well. In US F4 cant work. Even you cant work off campus. Without working you have to support 2 persons (for married people)
Compared to Canada, US literally treats foreign students like dogs....I dont understand why people from India still come to do MS in US. Yes I know I have done MS in US and MBA in Canada....so I can compare first hand.
Let me be honest. Opportunities in Canada is no way compared to US for a US Citizen/GC.
However if you are not a US Citizen/GC then you are far better off in Canada.
Lately Rotman is a bit too expensive for non-resident tuition. So I wont recommend that to international students. However you can choose U of Calgary etc. I was a PR before I joined Rotman so I got loans, worked part more than 20 hrs week (often more than 30 hrs). Leaving H1B job in US for a MBA in Canada was one of the best decisions I have taken. In fact I was so convinced that I should not do MBA in US that I didnt even apply in
US schools.
Answering your specific questions
International students in Canada are doing better than international students in US who need an H1B. In Canada after 1st they all applied for
PR and are close to getting PR Plus they get 3 year unrestricted work permit. It has been bad. But now I see eventually all are getting full time employment.
Part time students cant apply through the full time career center. But they can talk and annend info session. Most people including fulltime
MBA get jobs outside career center.
US experience isnt give a premium. Canadian experience is always prefered. 60K to 70K is the typical salaries that foreign students are getting. Well I never said that Canadian oppotunities are great but what i can say is that Canada is a better option if you are not a
GC/USC.
It is hard to compare Canada vs India. India as other problems. If you want finance sector jobs then it is Bombay. It involves long travel
of 2 hours in locals each way. 4 hours travel...there is no personal time left after work. I personally cant take it...it might be different
for others. Power problems, traffic jam etc is there. It about what you consider quality of life, and that is different from person to person.

True. That's similar to the Canadian system and that is a good thing.
However, are the opportunities out there ? That's the question.
The US Immigration Law is a nightmare.
Couple of years ago, I migrated to Australia.
The Australian laws are very clean and straight forward. There is only one application form with some very simple question and detailed instructions. Just fill up the form, enclose the necessary documents and fees. That's it. You are done. In due time they will let you know "YES" or "NO".
There is no need to feed fat-belly hungry sharks called "Immigration Attorneys" (of course there are exceptions).
Once your case is approved, you and your family are eligible for the all the rights (except Vioting Power) enjoyed by any Australian Citizen.
Once accepted, there is no official discrimination.
Here the US Government cries about anti-discrimination, human rights etc, but those are only eye-wash. They should take lessons from the Australians.

I thought IRS will allow you to withdraw your 401(K) with a 10% fine + all applicable taxes. Not sure how that will benefit someone who is forced to withdraw becuase he has to return to India.
You go back to India and withdraw one year later when you have 0 US income. Anything below 15K income is not taxable. Your 401 (K) withdrawal is added to your income for taxes

What I meant to say, you�ll succeed if you have the capability (with your professional knowledge, experience and skills) in your professional filed but definitely not with USCIS.
I can say, USCIS is a great leveler in this aspect. Everybody from PhD to Programmer is same in front of USCIS. All have to wait 10+ yrs with mental tension and anxiety, no matter what your caliber is and how successful you are in your profession.
Don�t get me wrong here. I also had to suffer for visa stamping, renewals, I-94 issues, PA etc in US Visa processing (nothing sever though). At the 5th yr of H1-B, I just decided.. to hell with that.....
I don't know about you guys, but, I would be heart patient with that kind of anxiety in another 5 yrs of GC process �. Really need a lion's heart to pursue US GC now days

Ok. Visa bulletin for December gets published. We are all shocked or surprised by the cut off dates. So, we decide to bash USCIS, run all possible permutations on visa numbers (how many different ways are we going to continue analyzing 140,000 visas), some have even proposed fasting and there are some who are threatening to move to Canada or India (I am not sure who is stopping them).
Let us analyze all the proposed solutions and see if they will really get us anywhere:
1. Bash USCIS: I am not sure if anyone at USCIS or the administration would care. You can stand at the top of Washington Monument and scream and not a single soul will care.
2. Analysis/Paralysis of available visa numbers and the possible movements: USCIS, the department that has access to all the required data is struggling to forecast visa availability, but, I see my friends here with very limited access to data trying to forecast Visa movement. I can bet, even with all the smart PHD�s here that we will not be able to forecast visa availability even, if we built the most complex model and continue to have limited access to data. So, this is just an exercise in futility.
3. Fasting in front of Governor�s office: Great idea! We can work off all the excess weight that we may have put on that we have gained due to over eating (one of the symptoms of stress or depression). I think we are choosing the wrong time of the year to do this. It is cold outside and I am not sure if anyone would even stop by the poor souls to pour us a hot cup of coffee. However, we may gain some publicity. Better than idea 1 and 2.
4. Moving to Canada or India: Please do and USCIS will be glad that they have one less case file to deal with and Numbers USA or Lou Dobbs will pay for the ticket.
Unless we stop these frivolous discussions over pathetic suggestions to fix the problem we will continue ignoring real solutions.
We need to think and execute with a sound long term strategy (12-18 months). Let us not try to eat the elephant in one bite. Let us fix this problem with small, manageable and doable steps.
I hope I do not offend anyone. I think it is time to be serious about the road we take from here.

Prince_Charming -
My case was similar as yours. USCIS just sent a Denial on my 485 without sending a NOID in May. If 180 days have been passed on your 140 approval, then you are safe. If your employer revoked your 140 within 180 days, then you have a problem. Normally desi employers revoke 140 because of Ability to Pay issue etc. especially when you move to a different company. Good thing is that you still have your H-1 to fall back on.
Anyways, My case was reopened within 2-3 weeks after we filed MTR and got a copy of the decision. Filed EAD and AP renewal this July.Got EAD and turns out they denied my AP based on the previous 485 denial in May and didnt even look that they have reopened my case in June. So fighting with USCIS Nebraska center on that right now ! Too infopass and the Immigration Officer is supposed get the information corrected on my file and get my file reopened for AP. Really dont think they look into their own notes or paper work even when issuing denials.
Feel free to PM me if you need more information.
Thanks,

logically speaking, it should be good for us. Had it not been for the conservative house republicans and speaker hastert, CIR along with its many favorable provisions for us could have been law by now. So with that obstacle out of the way, things should be better for us.However, politics is never logical and immigration reform is neither the top priority nor a done deal with the dems. From our perspective, we got to raise awareness about our cause all over again since most of the new congressmen will be unaware about problems afflicting skilled legal immigration.
Looking at few early Election results, it seems that Dems are winning. Needs to check how they will be do good for us. Any thoughts?

I know this is probably asking for trouble but no movement can be credible without listening to the dissenting voices. So here is my gripe ... You cannot open a single thread or forum without being asked for contributions these days. People are told that if they dont contribute, they are not "supporting the cause".
And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
Can I safely assume that you are another anti-immigrant wearing an immigrant's garb and whose sole intention is to argue back and forth with folks who believe in IV so that their energies are drained arguing with you and that they have no energy left to contribute to the common cause of the highly skilled community who by the way has no other voice out there besides IV?
I don't want to waste my energy arguing with you but let me put this nicely - If you don't believe in IV, please find an organization that caters to all your immigration needs and get the heck out of here!

Read it, Understand it and then please let me know if you still think that OP was in "unauthorized work", as this is what you have written before
The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work".
