The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.

Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems

Got 2nd FP notice, any guess on when I will get GC. I am happy for every one who got their GC.

Hi,

I would estimate you will get it before 2011.


Regards,

I am also waiting for the PERM process in chicago center. But its not a year. Its only three months. There is no info from DOL, no auditing. But so many guys applied after me got approval. So I am really pissed off. I dont know what order they are processing the papers.

Wonderful..So Mr. President is recommending
to reduce the GCs.....I better pack my bags
and be ready!!




Bush plays down differences over immigration

Nebraska Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson told the Omaha World Herald newspaper that there has been talk that House and Senate negotiators will not even meet to work out their differences, which would doom passage of immigration legislation before the November mid-term elections.

Bush has stressed both sides must be willing to compromise. As an example, he said Congress should decide whether to reduce the number of "green cards" issued to permanent legal residents if there are too many immigrants.

Bush lost a debate last year to overhaul the Social Security benefits system, despite traveling the country holding campaign-like rallies. His efforts in the immigration debate are beginning to look like a similar national campaign with stops in Texas and New Mexico on Tuesday.

Trying to nudge immigrants into learning English and assimilating into U.S. culture, Bush dropped in on a U.S. history and civics class for immigrants at the Catholic Charities Juan Diego Center.


Getting into the spirit of the class, he asked students which presidents had sons follow them into the White House, then answered in Spanish.

He and his father, Bush said, and John Adams and his son, "Juan Q." Adams.

Every EB applicant knows these basic information.


I was just getting more information on EB3 India on the net.And found an interesting blog(It makes sense to me and that why i am posting this thread)

http://skilledimmigrants.blogspot.com/2006/12/retrogression-math-for-dummies-eb3.html

Its a 2006 blog , but it makes sense even today for EB3 India

Finally that's when you switch on your calculator and start working with the numbers. There are 140,000 visa numbers available under all the employment based categories, with 7% per country limit and 28.6% allocated for EB3 and dependents counted into the numbers, there are only about 115 EB3 primary applicants allowed from India per month. Throw in a few thousand illegals(amnesty) into the mix and now you have the royal screw-up as is happening now. The law allows visa numbers from unused countries to be transferred to the oversubscribed countries but with nearly every category retrogressed this law won't apply for a while.

The future looks toooo dark even to mention.


Jago EB3 Indians Jago

Called all of them early morning 10am eastern time
which is 7am pacific for me. No hold anywhere. All calls were
done in ten minutes.

Response from most of them was "I will pass the message".
Some took my phone number, name and current location.
Exceptions were

From office of 'Hilda Solis', staff said that congressman is already
supporting those bills.

Office of "Ciro Rodriguez" said that they respond to issues from
their constituents and encouraged me to call my representative.

Office of "Lucille Roybal-Allard" said "pass and message" and asked
if I have contacted my representative.

IV members who are the constituents of Congressman Rodriguez, please take a few minutes to call him and impress upon him of how important this is for his constituents.

It is all dependent on one's situation. Obviously housing is better than renting, only if one's situation allows it. Do not extend beyond your means. I read above somebody making their expenses+mortgage on one person's salary. He has great hope for GC very soon. That can a wise decision. Buying expensive cars, houses, gadgets is very attractive.

I have noticed people buy stuff (not just houses) based on their present income and think they will have same or higher income. These people are working on contracts in IT companies.

Housing is not just money saved in rent and paid towards mortgage. It is maintainence, more furniture, higher utility bills, you name it. Owning a house is not cheap, but sure is better than renting only if you can afford it.

We came to US to improve our living standard, not to degrade it. So it is best to make more money and then live life. Hell somebody above gave me an idea of sailing now. I can just imagine beach now. There goes my savings.

When every one send individual letter, they will read the first one and then will just ignore others. Because the content and issue is same. When we 50+ people send one neatly drafted letter...I am sure it will draw considerable attention. Ron is willing to help us. I am not sure if we need to hire him for this. If so, how many of you ready to share the expense.

We have around 75 peope in this thread. If we every one puts in 50 to 100 dollars on an average per person.. It will be 5000 dollars to pay as a fee to Ron to help us with this cause. We can channel this fee through IV.

This is awesome!! I just came to know about this effort and I have joined the team right away to accomplish this. I will definitely have a few more join the group ASAP..


Thank You everyone for contributing and/or supporting.

you guys must have seen me with my 3 kids in a stroller and my wife handing out flowers and holding a placard...
it was an experience in itself, a good one
with lasting memories

cheers
vasa

Actually - missed you. Please share a pic - I did think I saw u but unable to recollect

I am also in the same boat.

Perm date : 23 Jul 2007
Audit date : 10-Oct 2007
Audit reply date :12 Nov 2007

I just saw this thread and mailed Nolaindian and also the teamIV requesting the membership form. I will take part in DC 10 miler.

Thanks for joining Team IV, Swadeshi!!! It is confirmed that you are the 20th Team IV Member and will receive a $20 reimbursement toward the DC event (as you requested).

I will get the form out to you in a few mins!!

Thats the spirit, IVians!!!

Go IV! Go Team IV!!!

It's nothing compared to 2,800 miles 1 way from CA.:)

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many others like the 4 of us) these guys, instead of saying something like "You are welcome", would profusely thank us for flying in!

Its people... like leo2606 and gdhiren.. and many others are the true strength of IV!

I raised a SR yesterday and here is the email i go today

"The status of this service request is:

Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please contact customer service at the number provided "

Has anybody received something similar? Seems canned and asking to wait for another 6 months holy cow?What is the next step Info Pass?

After receiving GC do we have to report to SSN to change the SSN card but with same number. Existing card says work paper required.

Any anyone knows action item required after receiving GC then please post here?

I have the birth certificate from my 10th grade. The one we got after the 10th grade board exams. Is that ok. I don't have any other cz I was born at home :o
Will that work?

I don't think your 10th grade certificate will work. The birth certificate should be given by the Muncipality and it should indicate the date your birth was registered, your name, DOB, Father and mother name.

If you don't have this kind of certificate, you need to submit a non availability certificate with two affidavits.

Yep...I got the same message the first time. After disconnecting and trying again, I was able to get my case status info. Try calling again after sometime.

Are they not going to give the same message that you see on the online status page? How different is the case status info going to be from the online status page? I am curious to know ... so that I can call too.

This morning I spoke to one of the Second level officer to get the SR done as I hit 90 days today, but he rejected saying they can not create as I am still with in the April 16th processing timelines. He wanted me to wait till I get my Eapedited request answered.

He is saying interim EAD can requested only if the posted processing timelines exceed 30days to our Filed date. Ridiculous. I told him, how does it matter what processing timeline TSC posts!, as per the memo if I have been waiting for more than 90days am allowed to request an Interim EAD.. But he is not ready to listen.. He started saying those processing timelines are created based on the volume, so I am not allowed it seems.. BS... I wish I had told him to increase the GC quota as there is more volume.. brainless ppl.

They dont even understand what it means to loose the jobs coz of processing delays from USCIS. All the 6 years (H1 B) perid they wanted us to have jobs without any breaks and they dont care now!!

EB3-I=U.
Whats difference in today's bulletin or the ones we saw from Oct. Almost nothing. You should be a fool to expect to hope for anything with the movements we noticed.

I would say this should be taken as a starting point to put some efforts in making the law makers and othere aware of EB3 problems,. I am sure the predictors will now keep their "mouths" shut for the next few bulletin but atleast some of us put some efforts.

I had a friend who tried to register but the website wouldn't because he has yet to file his LC, can someone confirm this? otherwise I will personally help my friend if he is making any mistake.

He is forwarding to his Chinese friends to spread the word..

thanks,

Hi

yes, thats what my lawyer says as well ... under section 245 k which applies to employment based GC applications, we can file follow-to-join within 180 days. In the mean time h4 status gets nulled and we should not travel out of the country.

I believe that as soon as you file under section 245k, your spouse will be eligible for EAD, AP.

Also, I have heard that 245k is straightforward and will be granted quickly- meaning your spouse will be granted gc in a couple months.
