proengineer why did you create a new profile to post this?
Why are you marketing a lawyer?

Atleast he had something to tell. He might had spent atleast half an hour or more to get these numbers.

And I think that who ever is on IV for sometime knows about Ron, Gerg, murty and OH . So what's the big deal ?

Hi, I am seriously planning to start Canadian immigration after wasting 7 years of my life in chasing GC. Can anybody suggest some good lawyers/attorneies/agencies who are not money suckers like US immigration attornies ? Also, somebody mentioned that one can apply Can immigration by himself. Is there any issue with that ?
Thanks

Do it yourself. It is easy.

Please see my inline comment.

SROYC,

Can you give me USCIS or any other authentic Doc/link which states ICMP share is 7% of 28.6% ? In years I have not found such doc. Therefore, assuming USCIS works fairly :D I had to divide 28.6% by 5 - equal share for each country within particular category.

Yes, there are many other factors we will have to factor in like incoming flow of applications, swith over count, spillover at the end of the year.

But we also have members making $30K fundraising effort successful in 7 days! Hence I believe if the IV core decides to explore the possibility of a lawsuit, we can raise enough money to hire an attorney for that.

there is a saying "if it takes 180 days for a immigrant to screw a light bulb" does not mean that "180 immigrants can screw the light bulb in 1 day".

we have thresholds and we need more active participation. These campaigns are refreshers, we are gathering more dedicated vollunteers, we want to see more people coming forward and help us.

30k in 7 days is a good positive way and we want to see this getting better, what I mean is

30K in 7 days must lead to -> 100k in 20 days must lead to -500k in 2 months - if this is a pattern - then yes we can think of big things. The community must also be ready to face any failure and take it with a pinch of salt? Are we ready for it yet?

I want the answer from the people because I do not want to sound negative :)

Hi Kshitijnt,

If it doesnot mattter: May I know, what was the problem found in your labor.. Is it due to Acquisition, or because of your Educational/ occupational postiion.

Can you share some info.. Just for awareness.

Thanks,

For short term yes. Long term No.

If there is a surge of ROW applicants. India & China applicants are at severe disadvantage.

For all those who are stating that filing in EB1 should not matter, please withdraw your application and let other people in line move ahead. Give me 1 simple reason, why should we not raise this issue. In hindi, there s an old saying "boondh boond karge ghara bartha hain"....

I will request all of you to send letters to USCIS to raise this issue and lets have a close scrutiny of all EB1 applicants received/filed....I understand that this is not the solution but i am pi***** at people using loopholes all the time.....

Don't those knuckle heads infiltrate other countries in the world too? This is ridiculous. What a frickin mess we got here!

correction: EB3 ROW = 01JAN05 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!

Just 1.25 more year and I would have been current! Damn!!!!

01AUG01

If the prior experience was related to your field, then I don't see why not. You may want to hurry because if USIS comes with 45-day labor expiration rule soon (which they may), you may not be able to use the prior approved labor.

arent you in conflict with chanduv23's reply? i am stuck between both of the ideas:) not worried about the bill, its not a law yet..

I advocate talking to policymakers, writing to them, and calling in on any talkshow on the radio/tv - where ever there is an opportunity.
I am not sure if we can challenge the legality of the system. However, I do question the motivation behind this policy. It is morally and ethically wrong and does not make any economic sense. It is probably hurting the economy, if you get my drift. My thought is that it can be adressed by enlightening the very people who put this policy in place - the congressmen/women.

Yes, we as IV are meeting lawmakers and lobbying, and media campaign too.

Just discussing if anything else can be done.

But we also have members making $30K fundraising effort successful in 7 days! Hence I believe if the IV core decides to explore the possibility of a lawsuit, we can raise enough money to hire an attorney for that.

Comparing Ted Kennedy and YSR..not a sane mind would do.

Amassing money in the name of fictitious projects is dynamic?
Relentless swindling of money by the parties, leaders, ministers and bureaucrats is dynamic?
Mobilizing and supplying huge money to prove your royalty to party in Delhi is dynamism?

If that is the case then Manmohan Singh, Abdul Kalam what are they…they had every chance and more why don’t we speak about them the same way. Show me one personal allegation on Manmohan or Abdul Kalam.

Yes, it is dynamism to stay in power and to mint money and for people like you…not for administration.

Any one speaking against, has to deal with personal abuse, that’s even with opposition MLA’s. What happened to democracy?

Since 60 years Congress has ruined India and people like Sonia and YSR are few examples of corrupt politics and YSR is openly involved. YSR is no different to a dictator.

Corruption rampant in AP under YSR's regime (http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=145882)

Naidu to approach Centre on YSR’s ‘Satyam route of corruption’ (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/naidu-to-approach-centre-on-ysrs-satyam-ro/425227/)

One can write a book on YSR’s corruption. AP has become worse than Bihar.

Majority of politicians in India are corrupt . Why single out one ...Does it give you solace to ridicule someone who is dead....

I'm not a supporter of any political leader or party and you cannot create one politician that satisfies every citizen of its nation. And that's a simple fact. As long as the vast majority of the population is satisfied with the party administration and get some real benefits out it, that's what I call a real political leader and I see YSR as one among them...

If you really want to vent out your frustration, just go to India and do something about it. Why not change the things the way they are... Its easier said than done ...Don't you think??

Looks like you created your ID yesterday , just to vent out your frustration. Maybe you are one of the Senior Members who wish to hide your identity just for the sake...


Get a Life Man....

Generic lawsuits are not the answer. We should use the above information when we talk to the lawmakes and also use this as rebuttal to the anti's. Lets focus on recapture, venting is not going to help, lawsuits will only help make the lawyers richer(just look at the houses and cars of immigration lawyers ;))

SSA depends on different countries. People from Mexico and Sweden for example will not have this issue. India does not have a treaty with the US.

The only solution , to all our problems, is a LAWSUIT.
The earlier some one has the balls to do it , the better it is.

And does this mean that this law will definitely change, or is it still possible that vested interests may still keep substition alive?
It's not done till it done.

This is only way to set things in order. Number of people stuck in retrogression today due to USCIS misdeeds is much larger than few years back when Rajiv Khanna lost the lawsuit. And old results shouldn't hold fresh efforts.

What exactly is LTTE is asking for? They're asking for a seperate land within sri lanka and make it part of Tamil Nadu. So along that line of thought then why is India fighting for Kashmir?

Some of you are talking about a policy change. Can you tell me which policies that's in practice NOW discriminates tamils?

Read the artical below when u have time.
http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090310_04

Illusions,

If BBC, AFP, AP & Reuters are considered a reliable source of information, then what is happening in Sri Lanka is genocide.

venetian, you could say that the Tamils in SL were just as a much discriminated in SL as the Muslims in India.

There is no such Genocide happening in SL as some claim. As a matter of fact the LTTE ethnically cleansed the Muslims from the NE of the country in the 90's, yet the Muslims in SL didn't bare arms against the LTTE.

Mind you the civil war in SL is against the LTTE, not the Tamils.

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.
.

This is the most accurate evaluation I have ever found on this forum regarding how USCIS works! :D

For USCIS, 2007 was "let's reduce some backlog in EB3-category" year.
It looks like 2008 is " let's reduce some backlog in EB2-category" year.
On both occassions they hid their plans in right in front of us, and said "gotcha" to every one- AILA, IV prognosticators and Ron Gotchers of this world.

I doubt USCIS will openly Re-revise the horizontal spill over policy. If they do that they may be challenged again forcing them to Re-Re-revise which will make them look even more stupider than they do now.

There are other means by which USCIS can deliver justice- mafia style- but within the current law. They need additional help from DOS,DOL, etc.

examples- (1) Generally sit on EB-2 adjudications, delay them and say there are unused EB2 numbers and allow them to spill over to EB-3

(2) Clamp down even further on PERM - stretch it from 8 months to 36 months for every applicant including EB2-ROW, make even more unused numbers available to clear backlogs.


p.s
I do not harbor any ill-will towards ROW or any other category. I honestly think above things are possible. :)

Can someone tell me if this is right?

- Total number of EB-2 visas = 40,000
- 7% of 40,000 are allocated for India = 2,800
- Number of EB-2 I I-485 apps pending = 30,000

So if there is no spillover from other categories it will take north of 10 years for all the people who applied for I-485 in the July 2007 fiasco to get Green Cards. The only caveat to this would be attrition or legislation.

WRONG

Mr. Oppenheim has set the cutoff date for EB2 India at January 1, 2000. According to current estimates, out of the approximately 200,000 I-485 applications currently pending with USCIS, 120,000 of them are chargeable to India, with the cases divided evenly between EB2 and EB3. This means that EB2 and EB3 India applicants count for 60 percent of the I-485 cases currently pending with the USCIS.

- Number of EB-2 I I-485 apps pending = 60,000

so with no trickle it will be 20+ years

Please see answers in blue below

so you mean to say that if I try to enter in fourth year, then itself I have to go to an immigration hearing and the judge would decide whether he would let me stay or not ?

Please see the following link for all details

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomer/res-oblig.html

Also can I apply for CA SIN staying in USA ?
I think you can apply via fax, but would have to give someones address in Canada to actually recieve it.

Should I be filing taxes there ?
No you shouldnt if you are not residing in Canada and have no Canadian income. You would if you had Canadian income or you were residing in Canada but working in US.

How do I get an address if I dont stay there ?

Same way you got an address to receive your PR card. Friends, family etc.

Thanks for your help.
You are welcome.

No need to regret. There are plenty of opportunities in India for right people. Salary is on par with USA.

Then please pack your bags and leave the country in the next flight.
