Thanks. Yes, if EB3 PD is on or before DEC 2003 then it would not be that bad now.

Unfortunately for me, my PD is Nov 2004. So I guess I will have to wait it out till 2010 or later maybe. I hope things move early than late...

All the best in your life. You did it man. Lot of people like to go back but only few actually go back to india.

EAD renewal applied for self / spouse
TSC
Received date 07/07/2008
Waiting for approval

I will be current in August 2008.

Pay stubs talk about CURRENT employment , not FUTURE...

>> "No, employment letter is absolutely required...", well, it is not.

You are wrong. How are the pay stubs link to your future GC job. Employment Letter is listed right there on I-485 form as initial evidence.

Do NOT confuse Current Employment Letter with Employment Letter for GC job


Not a legal advice.

Mr. Paraya Desi

I request you to mind your language. What you say displays a complete lack of understanding about the system

It is not that they want the "most qualified" or "most brilliant" FIRST, and the rest later. As an example, if your toilet broke down and you have an urgent need to use it, would you welcome a beautiful girl knocking on your door, or a plumber. It is like this. It is a question of WHAT the COUNTRY needs, not who is made of gold

Therefore dont think you are as an EB2 more (or less) entitled to anything, and correct the "faltu" ideas in your brain

"Mind my language", clearly this must be a case of lost in translation. I am not entitled more or less, IV can close shop today, I did not come to the USA because there was EB1/2/3 or IV fighting my battles, enjoy your journey. Stop whining, there are millions of Americans suffering, don't tell me just because you know java you are better than them.
We human beings have established a certain world order
Why is tougher to get through EB1?
Why does your boss make more money than you?
Why does a certified plumber cost more?
Why do men go after a pretty girl? shouldn't the ugly one get attention as much attention?
Why Katrina Kaif is sought after not Nandita Das?
Why does a person with a 770 credit score get lower interest?

Why why why?

Oh BTW, if your toilet broke down, do not panic, shut your door tight get some air freshner, and then you could consider the pretty girl.
And if my toilet broke down, I will hire a plumber for an hour to fix it, I will not let the plumber move into a room in my house.
What are you expecting? You want IV to get you salvation?

Look, there is no compulsion, you don't like the system, it ain't going to upset anybody if you take the steamer to Bombay tonight.

Yes we have done that in Vancouver ... Landing ... next day H1 interview ... the next day to collect passport, the next day return to US

did they ask any questions while stamping? Like why r u keeping PR and filed GC etc?

Can u plz share experience.

I have changed my employer and my new employer got me an extn also my GC is filed by them. Do u have the similar case?

Thanks

Kennedy, McCain, 2 congressmen meet
By Jerry Kammer
COPLEY NEWS SERVICE

December 9, 2006

WASHINGTON � Two of the most liberal members of Congress met with two of their most conservative colleagues this week to revive immigration legislation that passed the Senate but was throttled by House Republican leaders who resisted its attempt to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants.


Sen. Edward Kennedy
�The plan is to bring the bill up in late winter,� said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a conservative stalwart who attended the meeting in the office of Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. The other participants were Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.

The strategy session Wednesday came amid speculation about how the dynamics of the immigration debate might change, if at all, when Democrats take control of the House and Senate next month.

Flake said that Kennedy, who will be chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee, wants to let the new Congress deal first with issues such as the war in Iraq and proposals to raise the minimum wage.

�Then he'll be ready to go� with a new version of the bill that the Senate approved in April.


Sen. John McCain
Republicans ran the show in both houses of Congress then, and passionate divisions in their ranks over immigration policy became a dominant feature of the debate. Democrats, particularly in the House, were mostly content to sit back and enjoy the stalemate, even as they campaigned against the �do-nothing Republican Congress.�

Now Democrats face the hazards of immigration politics.

Immigration-law changes are conspicuously absent from the legislative agenda laid out by incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Observers here say it will be difficult for Pelosi, D-San Francisco, to honor her campaign-season pledge to work for a new comprehensive immigration law without splitting a caucus that includes freshly elected Democrats who vowed to secure the border and crack down on illegal immigration.

The November midterm elections seemed to send mixed messages.


Rep. Luis Gutierrez
In a cliffhanger contest, Arizona Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a conservative Republican and strident foe of illegal immigration, was defeated by Democrat Harry Mitchell.

Immigration advocates such as Ben Johnson of the Immigration Policy Center say Hayworth's defeat showed that immigration �did not turn out to be the firebrand issue that some people thought it could be.�

But immigration restrictionists point out that Mitchell made getting tough on immigration the centerpiece of his campaign. They also say Mitchell cleverly used the issue against Hayworth, saying his Republican opponent was part of a political regime that wasn't competent enough to stop the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that sweep across Arizona's southern border each year.

While Mitchell said he favored legal status for long-established immigrants, he insisted that immigration policy can be fixed only by �members of Congress who are willing to enforce the law, produce real immigration reform and stop playing politics with the issue.�


Rep. Jeff Flake
That enforcement-heavy approach is fine with immigration advocates as long as it is part of a package that provides permanent legal status to those who are beckoned across the border by agriculture, restaurant, construction, landscaping and janitorial jobs. The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is estimated to be at least 11 million.

Immigrant-rights advocates, along with their allies at the National Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations, also support a proposal to provide hundreds of thousands of low-wage workers every year for employers who demonstrate that they are unable to find Americans to fill the slots.

While McCain and Kennedy describe this as a �temporary-worker program,� the legislation they sponsored would put the workers on a path to citizenship.

At a time of anxiety about the loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs, the McCain-Kennedy bill's efforts to import low-wage labor has drawn the anger of critics across the political spectrum. That is why Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates immigration restrictions, predicts Pelosi will be reluctant to get behind a proposal that could endanger the new Democratic majority.

�Nancy Pelosi knows the Democrats are on probation for the next two years,� Krikorian said.

He predicted that Pelosi would back less ambitious immigration change, such as a plan to provide legal status to undocumented students, rather than take on the explosive issue of mass legalization, which critics condemn as an amnesty that would spawn more illegal immigration.

But Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, which advocates for immigrant rights, argues that next year will be pivotal because of the presidential race that follows.

�I think that once we hit primary (election) season, controversial issues get a lot harder to do,� Sharry said. �Everybody I talk to says 2007 is the window of opportunity.�

Pelosi was noncommittal this week on whether the House would take up immigration legislation. She sought to deflect some of the responsibility to the White House, suggesting that she expects President Bush to offer more specifics than his call to �match willing worker with willing employer.�

�That's up to the president,� Pelosi said. �We want to work closely with him because it has to be comprehensive and bipartisan.�

President Bush's political advisers, meanwhile, have acknowledged that revamping immigration law may be necessary to shore up sagging support for Republicans among Hispanics, the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group. Republicans received just 30 percent of the Hispanic vote this year, down from 44 percent in 2004.

Never make anything a weakness....thats when you will feel you have everything to lose if you don't get it.

After having been following most of the EB3 related threads looks like EB3 folks are on their own. It would be great if we get any help from any quarter but I think it's fine even if we don't.We need to do something/everything that we can to generate noise apart from of course following all the IV campaigns .


Thank you.

I've been coping with GC related stress by meditating as much as I can. Meditation releases endorphines which helps you calm down and have a clutter free mind. I know it is easier said than done, but it works. I also take meditative walks on weekends. We have trails near our house which take me to deep wooded area away from traffic and everything. I walk about 4-5 miles on weekends. Lately not walking due to cold. I also listen to Deepak Chopra, Joel Osteen, Wayne Dyer on Youtube. Hope this helps.

Who the heck dug up the depression thread...
It was away for a while guys.....Put it away...

used to be at most 90 days. If not u could have gone to ur local office and get temp EAD. It changed no more temp EAD. You r at the mercy of USCIS.

what can u do if u still have no EAD after 3 months? Endless waiting?

gc28262,

The issue is not with desi consultants. It is with those companies who game the system and take advantage of workers from India. If you believe that the petition filed by your company is legit, then it is all good - you will never have to worry about any audit or RFE.

As I have said before, the problem arises when some companies file petitions when there isn't an immediate job offer. They often take money from the H-1B worker to file the petition and not pay them when they are on bench - making them vulnerable to USCIS audits. In my view this is bad for the H-1B program and everybody who is involed, and it should be investigated by the USCIS.

Now, there may not be many who do this - but a few bad apples have certainly given the rest of us a bad name.

Here are some of the red dot comments I recieved for my early posts. Not that I care about red dots.

<quote>
no. i was hired because i was good. you were hired because you were willing to work as a slave for 40k.
BAN desi consultants, hoarding H1B's from deserving people, BAN everyone who supports them
</quote>

To the poster of this message,

This country is not for incompetent people who fear desi-consultants.

I understand and I have been there. I can tell you one thing, FIGHT them. Don't sit and wait, write, call, contact DHS, USCIS, your local Congress person, contact ACLU.org, some non profit organizations who have been helping immigrants like you and I.

It depends what type of application you have one thing for sure, DON"T GIVE UP

Take care














Well, I am TOO depressed about the BEC performance. I know too many people are in same situation but I find myself "helpless" and at least i want to SCREAM......:mad:
