You don't want to give any credit to 'Modi' than by your logic, Chandrababu Naidu shouldn't be give credit of 'Andhra' turnaround, Vajpayee shouldn't be given credit for Infrastructure turnaround...In India Politics & Politicians are so important, until they are pro-work, nothing works. UPA govt's attitude was sit & watch for Orders from 10 Janpath, so all of us know how they performed..A person who assists in the murder of people whom he has taken an oath to protect, cannot be really thinking about the country or for its development. By saying that HE is responsible for the development is clearly under estimating the capabilities of the gujrati people. The gujratis and rajasthanis are leaders in creating wealth and they did that for thousands of years successfully with world's envy before this ugly Indian came into picture. With your logic fodder eating Lalu is the smartest politician ever born....remember his $20Billion revenue he is bringing in from railways....never heard of from any sector...leave alone the ever losing railways...the only thing lalu can be given credit for is...not stopping the elite civil services managing directors and the academia (IIM, ISB) from doing their work...which they have been trying to for several decades....so I dont think the theory is right that one person (call him black spot of India) had done something....when each individual in the state is born with the blood which carries enterpreneurship.....kudos to all gujaratis....

Here is my $.02 (or maybe 200 cents)

I am here since 2001 and my family joined me in 2002. I came here at a fairly grown up age and the reason for coming here is mainly for a better life for my family. I don't make enough money to be able to send and invest in India. In fact I was sent money (more than $10K) a few times from back home.

But I do make enough money here to be able to live in a good house and have a couple of cars. In India I couldn't have dreamed of a second car (I did have a car in India) and it would have been impossible for my kids to have a car when they are 16. I know for sure I have secured the future of my kids better here in the US than what it could have been for them in India. We are educated people and we keep reading about the successes of the Ambani Borthers, Rahul Gandhi and others. Our family with average IQs and wealth can only read the news but can never have a chance to have a go and succeed like those BIG WIGS in India. Here in the US, we definitely have a chance, to become at least a millionaire before we retire. As for my kids, they could be rich at a much younger age.

My PD is Oct. 2003 EB2 India (filed everything in June 2007) and I have sustained the wait for 4 years and I am willing to take on the stress for may be one more year for my family by which time we all should have our GCs. Moving to Canada? - I would rather start my own consulting company in Canada and go there once in a while (preferably in the summer) to enjoy the weather and to take care of my business.

Sincerely - IE

Same here. Let us give green to each other and make us very green. How about that?:)

I agree and will do.

Stories of a warlord, factionist and political radical gunda.

From Kumar Narasimha's blog -

A born again politician - Part 1 (http://kumarsbol.blogspot.com/2009/09/ysr-19492009-born-again-politician-1.html)
A born again politician - Part 2 (http://kumarsbol.blogspot.com/2009/09/ysr-1949-2009-born-again-politician-2.html)

As degree college students in Kadapa those days, we were blissfully ideology free. During election season, YSR's people used to offer willing groups of students with jeeps, and money, provided we take part in the campaign in the villages. I remember going on a couple of those trips. We used to visit a village or two till lunch time, and then some one would organize food in one of the villages.Biriyani and stuff. And in the evenings, liquor would be available. In most of the election booths, there would be hardly any voting. The student volunteers and others used to simply rig the votes. In one of the booths, I suggested that not all votes should be polled for YSR as that could disqualify the voting from that booth.And I polled around 25 votes for the BJP candidate. It was a token gesture towards the center right from my side, I suppose.

But in these interactions, we used to hear war stories being swapped by some of the muscle men. A large number of these goons-for-hire were dalits, with their ring leaders being Reddys. There was this time when in a road side tea stall, two men claimed to have killed three people each during the communal riots in Hyderabad. Apparently, people were shipped in lorries from Kadapa and few other places to the Old City, and were given a few hours to wreak havoc.

Yes, Lasantha.. you are right. But that was one of mbartosik's points when he/she was comparing cost/benefit.

I agree. But the reason for that is not the per country ceiling. It's the fact that the total EB quotas (140,000) is not realistic to the present situation. That needs to be increased and there's your solution.
(Believe me, I do understnad your fustration. I really do)

Even if we raise the limit to XYZ from 140000, if we still continue with 7% quota then applicants from India/China/Philippines/Mexico would still be retrogressed. It is not correct.
Let everybody have a go at GC and let it be FIFO, irrespective of the nationality. This is EB and why use diversity if we do not use at the initial stages of bringing people from other countries on H1/J1/L1. These are the people who apply for GC.
1) Increase GC numbers.
2) remove per country cap
3) Remove dependents from GC numbers.

All above should go in simultaneously for a 'FAIR', 'NON_DISCRIMINATIVE' solution.

http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2008/02/house-dems-to-p.html

Good strategy. Need to make sure all EB provisions are still intact in these reforms targetted for spring & Summer of this year.

How can we find out if EB provisions are there?

One thing, assume if it works out and 50% of the people are able to buy houses and get the GC, they are out of the queue right, so automatically the back logs are gone and the remaining people not able to buy the house will get their GCs soon.

You are missing the point of the opposition. What is the fairness in this visa category? Every other category has US benefiting (not short term, but in long term) from us, except this proposed category. Do you think paying 20% down will benefit US enough that they drop every thing and grant you the GC??

Also, how do you define this 20%? A 20% down in CA will get your 5 homes in Alaskan tundra (ok exaggerating, but not by much). This proposal basically comes down to haves and have nots. By expending time on such misguided legislation, you are not only making the immigrants look like cheap opportunistic ****, but also giving enough fodder for the anti-immigrants that we are only looking for our GC without any tangible long term benefit for US (I could pay 20% down, get my GC, and then become a burden on the state).

This could be due to simple processing issues :

Filling issues (the application was filled in wrong category)
REF (delayed response to RFE)
Name-check (delayed namecheck)
Other technical issues
Medical condition
Spouse of EB2 India/China where the application is filed under wrong charageblity.


If you see the number of application pending in EB2 ROW for 2007 and 2008 they are huge compared to previous years somewhere in hundereds which can mean having the above said issues. The number of applications related to the above mentioned issues cannot spike significantly in just 2007 and 2008. Either the data is old and can mean that these applications are processed and approved and we wait until the new data is posted.

You can compare this with the PERM data. PERM data has very low EB2 ROW application in a given year and hence has always remained current.

Is my assumption correct?

Try detaining any of their top Hollywood Heroes at an Indian airport for 2 hours and see how USA media and people will react to it.

You people have no respect for your own motherland and always think everything American is good than your own country. Learn to stand up for your motherland. Just because you want your greencard does not mean you forget your roots. Anti-Immigrants (read racists) of this country will still call you slumdogs even if you are a citizen of this country. But your own country people will never forget you and will accept you as their own even if you have lived here for 50 years.

Learn to love your motherland.

Excellent reply.

It is you responded first to this news with this post, encouraging others to comment against a dead person. Also with the full name of a member revealed, it's possible that you are _truefacts!

Now are you trying to come out clean?

Please stop this unnecessary useless discussion here. And I am not "_truefacts". Folks, just like how u do IT or medicine, for politicians - politics is a career. They do whatever they can to be in power and in developing countries like India where unfortunately, corrpution still exists. Corrpution exists everywhere in different forms. Don't we all pay for EAD and AP every year because our country is retrogressed? Don't we all pay for MTR when we do everything based on law?

One has to accpept the reality and live with it and try to bring about the change within one's parameters.

People can argue just for the sake of arguements - but the reality is that we are all in it together. If there is an issue that affects all of us, it affects all of us - period. We can argue and counter argue but unless we all get on the same page and understand that there needs to be a solution rather than trask talk, things are not going to change for us.

Lets concentrate on what we are in this organization for.

I think here everybody are agreeing to the same thing. Some valid points,
1) People are agreeing pre-LTTE situation was no rosy.
2) Sinhala-Tamil conflict has some deeper socio-ecomomic reasons
3) Sinhala people were less tolerant. Like usually adaptable minorities, SL Tamils did not learn Sinhalese when "Sinhala-Only" policy came. (while everybody learnt English (and many Chinese) in Singapore.
4) Indian politicians (whatever reasons they might have) in 1980s supported LTTE - camps run by RAW and Indian Army trained LTTE. So, we created a monster. Just like American forces trained OBL in Afghanistan as part of Mujahideen against Russians. So, we reaped what we sowed.
5) Some spineless leaders from TN support LTTE. More than anybody they dont know the difference. Or may be to harvest some votes by flaring up emotions.
6) LTTE is evil and has no place on earth.
7) As soon as conflict is over, we have to make sure that SL will really understand how to solve the crisis. SL has to become secular, adapt common business language (English??) and coexist with the north. Short term, they should perhaps grant limited autonomy. It was done earlier and it worked almost everytime, Just need some leadership. Again, this should be our hope and suggestion. No self-respecting country can be told what to do. We can suggest in exchange for some favors. Or else we will be marginalized.

And for good, we should not meddle into others affairs. Whether we hate or love Congress, we all know Rajiv Gandhi would have made lot of difference than many weak PMs we saw after PVN. We lost him in hands of an evil orgn. So, pray that they are eliminated with ZERO innocent people being killed.

Based on this, I have again (yes, again) emailed by immigration lawyer and sent him the AILA's URL (although I cant see it coz I am not member of AILA).

IF AILA reports that they stopped accepting new 485 petitions for EB3-other, then it is pretty freaking scary and that means that what my lawyer told me "I cant happen, bla bla bla..." is really not 100% accurate. If it happened in June, it can happen in July. This is now REALLLLY SCARY, coz my lawyer has plans for July-end for filing.

Ever since the dates got current, it has been more stressful than the time when dates were retrogressed and almost makes me miss the retrogression days when I didnt have to depend on the lawyers for my career.

So, what did your lawyer say? Would sure love to know, once you hear back.

You moron coming from the slum region or any other place in Bihar.
You don't know about keralites.
100% Literacy.
Living standard is same like Europe. (no other state have the facilities such as health care and standard of living like Kerala).
It is God's own country.
Visit and see the details.
Even the guys working in Gulf countries knows better than you and making much more than you. Go and see their houses.(multi storied), You are still in an appartment.
Do you ????

You are _TrueFacts aka poorslumdog aka insider
You are also here Mr.dealsnet...again I am telling you, use your peanut size brain if you have one. I heard Keral people good only for tea shop or Gulf. what are you doing here. You started your tea shop here. Do you sell medu vada also?

one exception is if your spouse is a Canadian citizen or if you are working for a Canadian subsidiary (I am not sure if it has to be a governmental ).

1) If "canadian Business" hires you "In Canada" and send you to USA for
handling its "International Business" then also your stay in USA would be
considered as your "Physical stay" in Canada.
2) If you become Canadian Government Employee and it sends you to USA for
its business then also you will not be considered "Physically Out" of the
Canada.
3) If you go to USA with your earning spouse employed by "Canadian
Business" or "Government" to live with her/him, then also same rule applys.

Note: This is not legal advise.

7 pages of this and I don't think there is any clear information on how many applied betweek Jan and April-1 of 2005. I saw a post somewhere where someone said Cisco alone had about 1000 applications. Now if you add dependents to it that is almost a years quota of EB2,just from Cisco!!! I think easily there are around 5000 EB2 applicants in just that time frame. My 2 cents.

May YSR's soul rest in peace. I am not YSR fan but he is no more... So what good, what bad?

Pls, it is cheap to reveal anyone's identity, posting personal details, and this kind of behavior on these posts. Pls stop bickering... In the free country like US, be tolerant enough to listen to others even though you don't agree with a person.

IV core, pls delete this thread, it's disgusting and embarrassing.

mmk123,

Do you agree that YSR was a gunda, a land grabber, political killer who amassed huge amounts of illegal wealth and land, never ever seen in the history of AP? You claim that you are not a fan of YSR. If that is the case then give due credit where required and criticize and condemn when it�s appropriate.

Any Sympathy for that gunda YSR is like accepting that he is guilt free of all his corrupt actions, land grabbing and amassing illegal wealth.

These people who are picking on ChanduV23 as they have nothing else to the fact that YSR is a gunda.

psaxena ..... Are you obsessed with GC? This thread is about amway not immigration. Try to learn differentiating

You need to Grow up instead of saying others. Use your common sense next time you post such things, Read thread topic before writing anything.



Wait a min , how much had you?? Your status is Member and Kaushal's is a Donor.. wait a min let me think who is donating and who is a FREELOADER here.

The guy is doing something to make his life better, atleast making an attempt to do something better, why do you losers are trying to demotivate and shoot him down.

No work is small or big , good or bad , work is work.. you wanna do it , just do it , else walk to out. Do not exhibit the desi attitude "I won't do it as what someone will say and also do not let any one else do it." Grow up.

I guess we need to communicate our voices to all senators across united states. we need to spread the word at the earliest to get a quick action on this from governament.
I Guess some one should compose and message ,consolidate all web faxes and phone numbers at one place just like how we did it for CIR bill.

It will be easy for members to send information easily.

If each senator recieves more than 10,000 emails or faxes or phone calls then we can hope there is a chance to file 485 this month or at the earliest in October.

what are cir timelines. it seems march 15th is lobby day. i read from aila.org recent postings.
