By the way did buy any of the stuff from them later on. I mean u r that close to them.

Or just close to her?:D

Well it is a big deal for all Indians. I am not talking per se about SRK but as a fellow Indian. Does it take 2 hrs to ascertain his identity when he was here as a guest to the Indian Embassy as a Cultural Ambassador of India to participate in the Indian Independence Day Celebrations!!!

Some of you raised excellent points like would the US Media keep quiet if a Hollywood star is treated out this kinda treatment in India or any country?

Would it keep quiet if:

1) Their ex-president is searched by an airline staff

Our ex-president Shri Abdul Kalaam was searched by Continental

2) Hollywood star is strip searched in a foreign country

Amir Khan was strip searched in Toronto Airport

3) Hollywood star is questioned about their nationality because they dont like American

Neil Nitin Mukesh was questioned in 2008 whether he was Indian since he didn't have features.

and many more incidents...

It is easy. www.cic.gc.ca

BTW, the job situation is not great there. Others can input too


Yes true. I am planning to do MBA at U of T for 2 years out of the 3
needed for citizenship. In fact half of U of T Rotman (high rank as per businessweek ) look at US job market after graduation.

Its good for Finance and Toronto is close to new york area.
Yes for IT jobs it isnt that good.

Folks,
Since this can potentially be a great win for us, why don't we take the advice of a top constitutional attorney.


Note that it would certainly not benefit the other 60%+ from countries other than India that are also stuck in various steps (EB3, name check). So, unless you want IV to stand for IndiaVoice, you should concentrate your admirable effort on increasing the overall quota (with increased per-country quota), excluding dependents, etc.

I completely agree with this. USCIS has better date than prior years. PD for October is Jan 2005,the numbers available for first quarter is 750 (approx) and around 700 I485s are in Jan 2005. We will know in Dec whether quarterly spill happens or not.

The key difference compared to last year is Pre-Adjudication and improved communication between DOS and USCIS.
.

I think you have summarized pre-adjudication quite well.

Also note that pre-adjudication is not a very recent phenomenon USCIS service centers especially NSC has been doing it since late 2005!

If the law is followed in the enforcement then that is fine. Integrity of H1b program will be maintained. If arbitary and against the law then that should not be followed.

SNRAM, Probably you are the person who thinks he is a superman because some company hired on directly on H1-B and probably you are doing the same monotonous job for a very long period of time ... You are itching to shift gears get to do something better than what you are doing now... Unfortunately for you, no one is willing to hire you ... Then you just decided to come here on the forum and get the load of your chest by writting something that you think would irritate people.

The consultants that you are taking about are not only sharp experienced people but are making at least 2-3 time the money you make working from the little cube where you are typing the BS ...Go get a life MF.

Chanduv,

I know in the past many times it was debated -- why people do not support? Let me put forth what I feel.

Effort put by IV is very commendable. But the beneficiary of IV work (mostly) do not give importance to Green Card. That is what I think based on talking to multiple people and that is what we see from the % participation of people for various fruitful effort put forth by IV. Most of them say they do not care if they get GC or not. In their heart of heart they may but not too much.

Other reason I can think of is -- There could be doubt in minds of many people of IV strength. The day IV gets some success, people will rally behind IV for a while. And that is the scenario outside world too. See the stock price. If the company is doing good, stock price goes up. The day one bad news comes, stocks falls down. Take the presidential election. You can very well make out that contribution by company or people is proportional to candidate wins. If you are loosing, contribution will dry out very fast. I am not saying that candidate will not have supporter but that would be less in number. Take N.T. Rama Rao case. The day Naidu ditched him and others followed him, no officials gave importance to NTR.

Believe me, in my office or outside, I have talked to every Indian. And not one comes back n discusses with me about IV.

I strongly feel IV is doing a commendable job with some dedicated contributors.

Thanks for all your wonderful help to the community - people like you inspire others.

Please do not misunderstand my response to your earlier post, I was in no way pointing fingers at you but was trying to clear common misconception that IV must not be looked at like a software company doing good or bad at shares.

Once again, I respect people's space - it will be great if all of us come together and make this a success

Dude, Read Vivek Wadhwas findings carefully. He wants the best and the brightest to be provided unlimited visas. I agree with him completely. He is not for perpetual fraud and wage destruction as proferred by the outsourcing companies. Next time when you quote a defence, atleast quote something that supports your case not the opponent's :-)

You are contradicting yourself in your arguments. One one side you say you are highly skilled on the other you say you are worried about depressing wages for citizens like YOU. If you were so competitive, why would you worry about competition.

If farmer grassley's bill passes through, you are the one who is going to lose your job (if you are still working at MSFT). Balmer has already threatened to move the jobs out of the country if Mr Change goes along with his protectionist policy.

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=345899&postcount=1

BTW none of us on this forum favors outsourcing. Whether you like it or not, nobody can prevent outsourcing. Even if corn farmer's bill survives, outsourcing will go on. If you are looking for job security, you need to change what you do for living. This applies to all of us on this forum as well.

Could unions stop the shifting of manufacturing jobs to China. You are living in the capitalist capital of the world. Don't think companies will help you cling to your job just because you want them to.

BTW you claim only 20% of H1Bs are genuine. How did you arrive at this figure. Have you interviewed each and every candidate who received H1Bs ?

You seem to be echoing anti-immigrant's concerns. Antis also complain that MSFT product quality has been going down since they started hiring H1Bs. I guess they were complaining about people like you.

Exactly.
This part amazes me most.
He is an actor on a personal visit and now govt of India has to intervene.

And look at the protesters.
There are thousands of more important issues in India and they don't bother them while detention of SRK makes them protest. Hight of stupidity.

Amen!!

I know on a humorous note I was thinking people who are married are worried about their family problems.People who are not married are worried about when they will get married.Don't know who has time to worry about some politicians marriage on top of that during elections time.

Ultimately everything boils down to corruption. Huge money is going down in the pockets of big media houses, it is so damn obvious...Hindustan times, IBN & NDTV carried pictures of Priyanka Gandhi's children for 3 days on the front page, I never saw pictures or anything on Chandrababu Naidu, Yedirappa, Badal, Gehlot, Shivraj Chauhan or for that reason anybody....these kids are more important than our grassroot leaders ? The family is talking about "Rahul kee Shaadee" and the whole media is printing that, nobody's asking them where were you and what you did in last 5 years ???

I just arrived yesterday from Canada with an expired Visa and my extension notice from INS.

Unfortunatly, they officer was an ignorant pig without any knowledge about immigration. Luckily, I was sent to an office where officers were nice and well trained,

I recommend you to print out the actual law so you can have more arguments and arrive earlier to the airport if you are flying

Can you post the link to the automatic revalidation law link?

I want to take the print

The IV page is full of Active-X controls. God knows what happens when i allow them to execute. Is there a way to find out what are those ?

....

The story is different for EB immigrants. Their eligibility does not expire. That's why it's possibile to recapture numbers from the previous years.


So, my sending letter to pres. Bush to recapture unused visas is not a waste.

My blood boils in digust when I read such stories..

My take is BODY SHOPPING is killed.
H1Bs can work at direct employer or as an employee of direct vendor at off site.

No more small consulting firms sending resumes to direct vendors. May be in long term its good for H1Bs.

Mostly Desi consulting firms will get hit. Outsourcing companies like TCS,Infosys are direct vendors to big clients. They will OK ..

My take is Infy, TCS are the biggest theives. if you work with the client, you never know when the will show the door and promptly cancel the H1B. Ideally USCIS should target the big fish and their flithy L1

Tere Muh mein:) Ghee Shakkar:D

Common man is common man everywhere. Star worship is something that exists everywhere. be it sportsmen or movie stars - these people win hearts of people and thats what matters which is most important.

Now you are blaming people for worshipping him. Thats how things are.

Do you know how crazy soccer fans are in some countries?

Thats how things are my friend.

Like you said star worship is every where but how about slums in Bombay, Delhi, Hyderabad??? they are not every where???? how about un educated farmers that they do not know beyond their farms and villages... Common man be realistic with human touch....

Guys, There was a reference to class action suit on Murthy

http://www.murthy.com/news/n_whatnow.html

Which clarifies doubts from so many folks whether being a part of class action will have a negative effect on his/her case.

Ultimately everything boils down to corruption. Huge money is going down in the pockets of big media houses, it is so damn obvious...Hindustan times, IBN & NDTV carried pictures of Priyanka Gandhi's children for 3 days on the front page, I never saw pictures or anything on Chandrababu Naidu, Yedirappa, Badal, Gehlot, Shivraj Chauhan or for that reason anybody....these kids are more important than our grassroot leaders ?
