Air France still does not get it. neither do other euro nations, Nor does Australia.
They are now dealing with a entirely different generation of Asians who do not care if they were once a developed nation or that they can manufacture aircrafts.
The reply is still suggestive of they taking care of the passengers and handling the situation well. No, they did not.
A technical aircraft problem is something that every airline faces everyday.
Air France not having a plan to care of non-american or non-eurpoean indians is completely their fault and outright racist. and that too a flight which is flying to India?
Did they expect everyone on the flight to be from a EU or North American nation, and that they will not require transit visas.
No, they simply did not care. They just did not make arrangement for Indian residents and hid behind the transit visa excuse.
If they wanted, they could have arranged for a Airport Transit visa for eveyone who did not have one.
But no, they assumed that regardless of how we treat them, an indian is going to fly Air France again if that is the cheapest option.
Funny is, that might be true, but that demographics is changing so fast that they better keep not caring, cos Indians will not fly with them anyways.

So your question is regarding the how u become active volunteer or the way IV operates in dealing with the legislation events? I was answering the former.
About the funds .. you know the answer and logiclife videos tells exactly the same. But you said I know nothing about the funds. What exactly you are looking for. Money spend on each event? i think they started doing it. Recently pappu mentioned they need 41k for the rally.. I think we are improving on that front ..

Hi All,
I applied for my daughter's PIO card and sent all the documents as mentioned in the instructions sheet of the embassy website along with the self addressed stamped envelope. I heard from my other friends that even after you send everything in order, the embassy people would call and say that they did not receive the self addressed stamped envelop. It happened to three of my friends. I am the 4th one. They called today to tell that I did not send the envelope.
The funny part that happened with my friends is that, they all sent $20 and the package came in the very envelope they sent in the first place, that the embassy said they didn't receive.
Did anybody of you also had the same kind of experience or similar incident. If so, please do share.
Why are they doing like that? Do they really think we would do like that, trying to save on an self addressed envelope? It really bothered me for the fact that the lady from the consulate was utterly rude when talking. I am amazed how in the world, The Indian Government is still hiring such people? Of more then a billion population, is that the best person the government of India could find for that customer service post? Its a shame and I am ashamed that such dic*heads working and representing India?
Coming back to the issue...she said sternly, send $20.00 or send envelope stamped otherwise the application would not be processed.
Folks, please let me know where I can complain about this careless attitude of this monster woman. What steps can I take to make sure they don't do that again? I live in TN and I can't fly/drive to Washington DC. The questions is not about the money, but the way they are operating without any ethics is deplorable.
Hoping to hear all your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.

I speak Hindi and have 8-9 friends from south india..telegu, tamil and kannadiga........we have been hanging out for years now and we haven't faced any problems....2-3 ppl in our group don't know hindi well and they try to learn it.
I have learned a few telugu and tamil words........I find calling the attitude of hindi ppl rude is a bad omen. If you don't like hindi, why do u like british language english.
I'm surprised when ppl say they hate hindi (which many indians speak) but talk to the foreign clients in their language with a smirk on their face. Take it easy friends. Cool down.

I know IV is doing its best and there are other groups fighting for HR 5882.
But honestly, what are the chances for this bill to succeed this year (before election)?
100% or 75% or 50% or 25% or 0%
Ron Gotcher predicts that none of the individual bills may pass this year.
And also that EB3 I may not move forward even next year!
I am not sure how many EB3 (I) volunteers are there in IV (who are really focussed). Are they getting nothing? The prediction is that EB3 I may go back to Nov 2001 and stay there for a while (or may be for the rest of next year).
Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, ofcourse)? What are they fighting for?
First of all, I can commiserate with you and understand how important any news about the expected PD movement is. However I am sure you will also agree if nothings changes, the agonizing wait will keep getting longer. Now what needs to change and what the success percentage is at least partially up to us.
By believing that no matter what, EB3 is destined to have a long wait you might be not taking advantage of the possibility that there is some chance (no ones know how much) that things might get better. So lets just put our combined optimistic efforts into this initiative because that is a prerequisite for any change..now or later.
All the best and hang in there pal!

Isn't this old news? has been around for a while???
this is the first time i heard details about this bill even though he has been talking about it after meeting Bush. the news article thread has the analysis i found from an anti immigration group site. AILA has posted it as their news today however they have not yet posted the summary of the bill. The question is which one of the 3 --SKIL bill, CIR or Pence will be really voted and which ones will be put in the backburner for future or silent demise!

Well-said POSMd. It must have been very difficult to spend time (even it is 1 Hour a day) after your job towards a common cause. Voluntarily.
Hopefully those who are in frustration, though understandable, can come up with other better ideas to help resolve the problem. I suggest ,contact core Team and let them know how can you help with your time.
My understanding, progress on problems like this can be expected in Months not days.

Yes what you are saying is true. I am not denying that but how long can you stay on
H1B is the question. But yes I also started with 50k but I am moving up. IT salaries are higher. I know banks paying 70K and going even more above 80K. You can also work as independent contractor type unlike H1B. No middle men inbetween and all expenses before tax.
Yes ofcourse US is a far bigger economy. But I was born in India, what can I do. Within my contraints I am looking for best possibility.
When I feel down/upset I look at this video and I feel far better and motivated: YouTube - Man with no legs and arms - Inspiring story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQPmY4nIjVE&feature=channel_page)
Since your wife is Canadian citizen, basically your downside risk in US is hedged. If things don't work out you can quickly move to Canada. But for others with Indian passport
it is not so. Like I said before I am not against working in US under TN1 or H1B. Just that
I am willing to work under desperate body shopper slave like conditions. If I get position under direct client in H1B its fine with me. In fact when your company knows that you are not that desperate they also treat you differently. Is your wife also born in Canada, if so then it is even beter, you are out of the EB-I trap. You should definiately look for US options.
Long back when we were working under H1B/OPT for a company in India, there was the annual bonus/promotion announcement. And I saw that none (except 1) of the H1Bs got a promotion. Just one H1B got promotion and that person had recent married a US citizen. Basically the company knew that its leverage over him is gone and in order to retain him they need to promote him. It is all a zero sum game my friend.

If existing members don't show the commitment to the meetings or whatever we organize, then how can we expect new members to do anything?
I feel weird even saying this, but guys don't you know that it is simple courtesy to let the host know in advance if you can't make it?
And anything more than 15 minutes late is just plain RUDE! Do we have to teach this?
I hear you, needhelp! I think every single chapter leader has felt this at some point.
I would like to clarify - anything beyond 0 minutes late is rude. I have a management position in my job, and if that happens at a meeting i'd set up professionally, they get a verbal lashing from yours truly.
It is highly disrespectful

Just one anti-immigration group, NumbersUSA, has sent more than 100,000 faxes and made thousands of calls to Congress since Wednesday. The intensity of that anger propelled some of the bill's opponents.

I recently applied under 0213. I agree process is not as complicated as it sounds also I am not sure what value add a lawyer will do apart from keying information from you in the forms. My suggestion - do it on your own. Use this forum Skilled Worker / Professional Immigration (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)

This is certainly good news for many. However the skeptic in me is feeling very uneasy. Why did they suddenly open the flood gates? Did they purposely create a backlog and then increase the fees (double the fees) just in time? Are we going to face other issues down the line after applying for 485?
I guess for now, we will just celebrate and try to get our 485 applications in before July 31st. After that it is a wait and watch situation.
Congratulations to all who got through this first hurdle.
