My employer did not even bother When i talked about this. They are happy with just recruiting desperate and non desperate H1bs. Many of us are addicted to the US. We will not leave despite any indignity or humiliation. You have a weakness and it will be used. Way of life.
So let us continue to be indentured for many years. What never ceases to maze me is despite so much work by IV, big employers, faxes, emails the govt has done nothing. Seriously, there is a bigger issue here. See how they acted to get more nurses ? That is not happening here.I think all concerned are sure, EB guys will sit out even if it takes 10 more years. So , let us sit it out, bcos it seems like we aint got no place to go. Right ?

Mirage..you are absolutely right...i paid 765$ as per old fees for I485,EAD,AP. the new fees for I485 is 1010$ and EAD,AP can be concurrently filed with no fees.also, since I485 is filed with new fees there will be no fees for renewals.so, basically 1010$ one time fee with the new fees structure and 765$+645$(EAD+AP) with every renewal every year.(if it becomes 2 years then for every 2 years).i wish i had paid thru new fees.this is completely unfair and big BS......

Well one can avoid Air France if it 'makes you feel better'
The Crux of the matter is 'Indians discriminate Indians !!!!'. You see that everyday.....
1.Indian embassies in US...
2.Air India service is better for Goras and Goris than us...
3.Even in a website called IV and the list goes on and on.
Its been long forgotten that we were once the richest country in the world with a amazing history and cultural background.
Bottom line: Once a fellow Indian starts respecting another fellow Indian 'others will follow'.
Cheers!!!

How about a candle night vigil outside all state capitals, one Friday/Saturday/Sunday evening? This is a symbolic gesture for the slow death of our green card dreams.

But the way TSC is going they might be able to approve it with his/her photo from last year :)
They go by photo not older than 30 day. Probably if they don't follow their rule ...
It would be a breach of security related matter.

If your case is EB2 worthy. It makes a lot of sense. I have many friends who did that and they have their GCs now. While I'm rotting in this mess... my fault: I didn't convert to EB2 which I could have.
dude,
How would one decide if the conversion has merits? In my case, I have EB3(I) PD of 2003. In the past 5 years, I've gained progressive experience thru my job. Is there any benchmarks or guidelines on when to convert from EB3 to EB2?
Thanks,
GCisaDawg

First decide whether we are FOR CIR or NOT.
Looks like a lot of people have doubt on this basic question.
The answer is not simple because of the various stages many people are in.
In fact for me CIR in its current state is better. However, for a person who has not cleared the labor, cir will not be favorable, as he/she has to reapply.
In my humble opinion we should just ask for one or two minor things, and this "comprehensive" approach of we are the "pork" in the bill is flawed.
We should at the most ask for the basics. "recapture of past visas", and ability to file I-485 immediately. Highlight that this is only a matter of interpretation by uscis and no major law change. These two points itself will have IMMENSE benefit for us.
Any change that is drastic like removal of visa cap for STEM etc, most likely will forever remain a dream.
I can tell your case. If you apply now by EB you will get gc within 3 to 7 years time. If you apply by point system after 5 years of USA experience and you will have employer sponsor you will have 16 points more than those who are coming fresh to USA. So both point system and EB system you will get at the same time period. Process delay will be minimal as no labor or I140.

You are talking about rights as if you are a citizen of this country. Constitutional rights are given to the citizens of the country...
How about GITMO guys? They were non-citizens, were not even in the country and were still given their rights... (still questionable if they should have been)
I think LS is a good idea, and we should pursue it.
There will be some frustrated guys, who wont do anything themselves and will pull leg of anyone who wants to do something. But we should keep going.

is bringing a logical explanation to the character of the fence sitters, I-RSVP-But-Do-Not-Show-Up-Nor-Will-I-Inform-
The-Person-Whom-I-RSVP-As-To-Why-I-Am-Unable-
To-Attend-An-Important-Chapter-Event, trolls, timid crowd.........
He is basically saying that some day you will get your GC and Citizenship but will always be Unhappy and searching for something in life. :) :cool::D
"If not now, then NEVER".....
Logiclife made the reference to two sets of people. One who thinks EAD is the end of the road and it is ok to RSVP and not participate thinkers (not all of them though) and second to a completely different group of people who always logs in anonymously who he references as THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
Logiclife uses the word cowards only for
THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
We have a tendency to get prejudiced with few postings and never look into the original posting and the spirit behind it as page progresses.
How many times we have organized something but were frustrated by lack of support from people around us.. including our loved ones sometimes.
Now considering the sacrifices and efforts that needhelp did, isn't it appropriate to let her know if there is any change in plan, just as any accountable team member would do.
I see that a great contributor "AMMA" has come out openly about her inability to come though she had always the right intention in making it. She had made efforts, put posters in organizing it but she could not make it. She should have told needhelp but it slipped. This happens. She apologized to needhelp and this shows tremendous courage, self respect and pride in herself. I salute you 'AMMA'
But how many of those people who said they will come but did not, nor they called/informed had even sent a private note of apology. If they had sent that I am sure needhelp would not have felt so frustrated.
If I defend unprofessional attitude then I am one. If I do not come out openly with my identity in this forum and logs in anonymously, than I am a coward. If I am supposed to contribute but do not then I am a shameful human. If I can't apologize for my inactions than I always will carry the guilt forever. If I am a free-rider knowing I am not supposed to be one than I do not belong to this IV team.
Maybe is better for me along with murthy's or Rajeev's forum. There I do not have to contribute, never be called shameful/coward and my weakness, integrity, self-respect, character, idendity, etc can never be exposed. I can network, gain insight into immigration process, and forever wait for my GC and track from V/Bulletin to AP and whine/complain/criticize/condemn anything and anybody.

First off it is quite frustrating with people not participating and not putting their money where their mouth is. However, on a constructive note, screaming at people for behaving the way they are behaving rarely gets them to meekly surrender and start doing the right thing. Whether people do it out of their own free will or after persuasion, it take courage for people to participate. What works is to look at the problem and not to personalize the issue. So poor participation is the issue. If you are consistently not getting enough people to attend then it makes sense to delay the frequency of the meetings as one option. The other option is to call people and ask why they were unable to attend and give them a chance to come for the next meeting. Maybe the projection of rounding up x people was based on poor assumptions. So setting realistic expectations and then building momentum from there is the key. This is a dry tough fight. We need to set up tangible goals which break the vision down yet show the grassroot level people how the baby steps will lead to success. Most people in my opinion, back off because they do not see a realistic connection between the baby steps and the final vision. I think if we treat this like a challenge and try to understand the underlying problems, this movement will have a better chance at success. Regards, JH

I dont think it is 9,800 each. I think it is 9,800 combined - 7% of 140K. To that extent the 21500 number in my earlier post stands revised down to 17,700.
It shouldnt cross 7% of 140k which is equal to 9,800 for each category. Not combined.

Not sure I follow you. How are we getting 50K spill over visas?
I already mentioned in my previous posts (multiple posts with same matter for people like you and me, see it and understand it well) how we are getting more than 50k visas just for EB2 India. I am giving it here again the visa allotments for 2006 and 2007 years when theres vertical fallouts. Now its changed to horizontal fall outs.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.
Class --------------------------------------> 2006 | 2007
Total Employment-based Approvals ----------> 159,081 | 162,176
EB1 ---------------------------------------> 36,960 | 26,697
EB2 ---------------------------------------> 21,911 | 44,162
EB3 ---------------------------------------> 89,922 | 85,030
Fourth:-------------------------------------> 9,539 | 5,481
Fifth (investors) ----------------------------> 749 | 806
See the Total Employment Based Visa approvals for 2006 and 2007 159,081 and 162,176. But there are only 140,000 visas in EB category. The rest of the visas came from Family Based visas which are not used for the previous fiscal year. The share for each category: Each EB1, EB2 and EB3 should get 1/3 of 140,000 = 46,666. But due to the less demand in EB1 and EB2 ROW all the visas falling to EB3 ROW due to the Vertical falling.
EB1 ROW --> EB2 ROW --> EB3 ROW.
EB1 INDIA --> EB2 INDIA --> EB3 INDIA.
As theres not much demand for EB1 ROW and EB2 ROW, all the unused visas are going to fall to EB3 ROW. So from this time its going to be like Horizotal fall out like below.
EB1 ROW/EB1 INDIA --> EB2 ROW/ EB2India/ EB2China-->EB3ROW/EB3 INDIA.
So this time to fall any VISAS into EB3 ROW they have to pass through EB2 India/EB2 China. So this makes EB3 ROW dates would retrogress due to the decrease in visa numbers availabilty.
As I said each category would have 46,666. So EB1 and EB2 together will have around 93,332 visas. But in EB1+EB2 in 2006 about 50,000 visas approved and in 2007 about 70,000 visas approved. So for 2008 also asume the demand for EB1 and EB2 is 70,000. But the availability of VISAS are 93,332 as said above + unused family visas which come around 19,000+.
So for this 2008 fiscal year for EB2 India and China the total visa numbers availlable are
(93,332 +19,000) - 70,000 = 42,332.
So around 42 thousand + 9,800 (regular 7% of 140k) = around 52k Visas Just for India , because EB2 China was already Jan 2006 a year back. And I dont think it would take any considerable share in this 50k other than its regular 9,800 visas.
Get me back if you have any doubts.
