Yeah! sure............. in America you take things and nothing is given to you..........Have any of you guys heard of students protesting tuition increases. Have you really heard of young folks protesting about anything. Folks like Jack Nicholson can say a lot of things but I'm sure I wouldn't depend on him for intellectual sustenance.
I would request that you find a statement from a better role model before starting such a superficial thread.

Lawsuit will not help you. See AILA lawsuit for Visa Bulletin. USCIS did not even negotiate with AILA and chose to negotitate with IV. So you need to learn from it.
AILA now feels defeated because they could not show themselves as the protector of this community. If you see the lawsuit text by AILF, it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees, but does not asks for moeny for Medical exam and mental agony. So if you are going to trust your lawyers to help you, then good luck.
By the way, your Indian lawyer I dont know the name, sued DOL once and lost.
Secondly, how are you going to pay for the lawsuit? People here dont even want to pay $20 and you will need 20K or more for a lawsuit. Do you think you can raise that much?
Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda. Instead of supporting IV you are creating your own selfish agenda and not listening to IV. I have seen lot of offensive messages by you guys. You guys celebrated when all of us got screwed
I do not support your agenda.
internet, what you say dos nott make sense.
1) "Lawsuit will not help you" that is what everyone said about July Bulletin. The fear of many lawsuits is what made USCIS ot backoff.
2) "... AILF,it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees,"I would rather trust lawyers on what and what kind compensaton I should ask for rather than people like you.
3) "How are you going to pay"? that is a question for next step, and I dont think you care.
4) "You guys celebrated " I am not in BEC but I don't agree with you, none of BEC guys celebrated, yes some repeated words we said to them.
5) "Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda" is this not on IV agenda? even then this is an immigration cause and there is nothing wrong in some of the(BEC) members opening a thrad, they can fight there fight and use this site.
6)"I do not support your agenda" that your choice, and looks like it the hate that is making you say this.
7) Be careful, you are not out of woods yet, you can also get stuck in an odd scenario where you can be a minority.
internet, Dont be so anti BEC, they are suffring and if they want to fight let them.
I support the BEC fight, guys go for it and fight. This the right time.

Hello,
I'm also in the same situation. My labor is approved May 2007. I'll need to apply for both 140 and 485 together. Can I do it at the same time ?? or do I need to file my 140 immediately and then 485 after a few days. Time is running out now, as we never know when USCIS would again stop accepting 485s. Please advice.
Thanks
I think you can file I-140 and I-485 at same time. You no need to worry.

I have never lived in Canada but married to a Canadian citizen so I am writing this with her help and with my limited knowledge. I don't think 50K per year is enough, you may survive but living standard won't be as good, say, compared to Texas (if you are in CA then its different comparison). You pay more taxes, high insurance premiums, clothes are expensive etc. everything is higher. As per my bro-in-law, the sale price of houses in Houston is less that the cost of building house in Toronto (he is a financial consultant in Toronto). I heard socially Canada is better than US and have nicer people.
Heath care is free (not dental, vision etc.) but you eventually pay more taxes for that so if you are planning to bring your parents this could be good but for healthy young family basically you pay more taxes for health of others. Health care can be compared to US but not as good because there is cap on doctor's income (300K??) and many good doctors move to US.
TN is definitely good and hopefully it will remain for Canadian citizens and can be renewed with no cap for maximum years but but your dependents can not work with your TN visa.
I, myself, have applied for Canadian PR and should get it soon but that's just as stand by and won't move there unless I have to.
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: 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 US, 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.

Hi,
I am just wondering how USCIS can take the GC card back.
Say for example, I have filed my I-485 and it got approved (with out any regard of whethe my pd is current or not )and a card has been issued. If I take the card for granted and started utilizing it, how am I voilating my status. Isn't this USCIS responsibility to make sure that they issue properly or not. The applicant might never know whether his PD is current or not. In this case how could USCIS can take your card back. If they can, Can't we sue them ?
and my attorney said "If you were to pull up to a ATM and withdraw $100, but for some reason the machine spits out $1000, what do you do?". Well, you can keep the money and drive away or walk into the bank and give the 900 dollars back. But if you are caught of not returing that money latter then that would speak about your wrong intention by itself. So at that point you may be actioned based on whatever law exists. In this case however it is very clear, USCIS can revoke your green card anytime.

I would love to attend the rally. However my financial condition at this time does not permit me. I could have booked a ticket on my credit card but all my cards are max out!
You want to know why I am in this financial deep hole? Well, I have two sons in college and paying out of state tuition, that is over $17,000 per semester for both of them.
My wife on H4 could not work until now that she has an EAD. It is retrogression that I should blame and I would love to do all in my power to obtain relief or bring the issue to the attention of the American public.
In my own way I have contributed to IV both in cash and in kind. I have told me story in countless media interviews. I only wish I could do more for IV financially but alas I am not able to do that at this time.
I would be in the rally in spirit....only I wish I could attend in person.
We can help! We want to make sure as many people as possible come to the rally. Those in worse financial positions can take advantage of the many generous offers from other members who are willing to sponsor others.

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!!!

What freedom and justice you are talking about? The folks on this forum are not responsible for you misery. So stop venting you frustation here. Though, I sympathize with you situtation but unfortuantely the whole legal system is unfair.
What we have done here is a good start, soon we will lobby for passing of SKIL bill . And the day is not far when you too will be benefitted by these efforts
Are you the guy who came up with a stupid idea of creating an entire thread for banning people? You probably don't even know the definition of Freedom and Injustice and you say you studied in US (did you pass?). and hey my earlier post was not a response to you.

Dont you know what IV's is doing with the donation money or are you just making fun of it. Whom you are trying make fool out here..? If your question was genuine you would have got genuine response... What goes around comes around.
Why dont you give good impression about yourself and IV.

We have discussed a lot about things in this forum. Every person came up different thought, links etc and moreover our goal of adding I-485 in this feb bill.
After reading all the post mentioned by IV core, it is clear that no one can do anyting about it, there is no lobbyist that can force this to happen
So our struggle is useless, some may not agree to it because, they say they are pushing and trying to make voice that can be heard by the congress.
Congress did not listen to those million illegals on what grounds we expect our voice to be heard.
I say it again, our struggle is useless. When they wish then only something might happen.

good post but The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 9,800(7% of 140k visas) each
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.

There are two ways to react once you are not getting any result .
1. Do not do anything and blame others . Proclaim your leadership inabilities and hope a new avatar will come to save you . ( May be Lord Vishnu can take his final incarnation and save us , let us chant and pray :-)
2. Do something like say contribute and spread the message .
One will care about IV only if there are valid business reasons for doing so . Lots of my colleagues does not care about IV because they do not care about retrogression , reasons are ,
A)They may buy pre approved labor and get away with it .
B)Their spouse also work ( on h1b in IT or on h4 in sabji mandi ). Their spouse is a home maker and do not intend to work.
C)They are simply saving money to go back to india and does not want a GC.
Now even if you are impacted by retrogression still you may dream that in the dream land of USA one fine day congress will wipe out your worries . That indeed may party happen but still the legislature may pass something which can screw up the situation more , like say enforcing hard cap on the per country quota .
So it may make sense to help IV and not leave everything on luck or congress .
But above all rationale there is the warm fuzzy desi feeling of getting things free when people of IV are slogging , so no wonder people do not help IV , desi mentality rules :-)

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.
