I work for a big company in the SV and I know at least 100+ Indians and Chinese there, but when I showed up in the San Jose rally I didn't see any of them.
Yeah Macaca
That hurts to see so many people using IV for tracking receipts on the day of the rally but not participating in the struggle IV is putting up just for them!!
But know what I think as members we have really considered all of them as one..! I mean.. we should have given special attention to DC and the neighbouring states to fetch in max people.. 'coz we can depend on them for proximity..! we have majorly focussed on getting people from various states..well that again paid off .. 'coz news articles particularly mentioned people flew in from states as far as CA etc..
We cannot consider a person from texas or seattle to be the same as one in DC / VA .. Its definitely hard to convince to attend a rally .. how can we convince to take a day/2 off and travel leaving family and rest !!
Its sounds good and practical for some but many others will not concur!
I think we learn from our doings...! we should next time try and rope in as many locals as possible than depend on people coming from afar!

I have mailed 17 more individual signed letters to WH address this afternoon and copy of these 17 signed letters in one envelope to IV address. Good to see new date. I will continue to get as many as I can before this new date.

I understand your friends marriage is important and you can't miss it at any cost.
I'm hoping that since you anyways plan to be in Troy that day, you can try to attend for 15 minutes-30 minutes and then leave for your friends ceremony. I don't think the meeting will be a whole day afair. It might last half an hour to an hour max. Please consider the possibility of partial attendance, if possible, while attending your friends marriage - as every extra member attending the meet is a moralebooster to the rest of us.
It would be great if we can have you there, even if it's just for a few minutes. (You can call one of us later for more details)
I am very sorry but I will not be able to make it on the 20th. I was informed by my Indian friend that he will get married on the same day at Troy too. Talking about coincidence. Anyway, I wish the Michigan Chapter meeting will be successful.

Since Senate already passed the CIR, that included the SKIL, Is it required to vote again in senate if the house somehow passes the SKIL bill?
Too early but just curious.
Thanks.
The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.

Its not a merit system, its a disguised diversity visa in the name of skills/merit. What kind of merit system will not have qualifying points? Its a shame that Sen Kennedy's website gave examples of how people ranging from 50-89 points can get GC's. Just call it diversity visa. Its a lie of massive proportions. When is Sen Kennedy up for election?
Dude he is a Kennedy...he is a senior senator from MA and for all intents & purposes is in senate for life...

Go_guy when did you come to US, When did you go to Canada (Toronto).Which job are you doing now in Toronto?
I first came in 1999 Fall as MS student. Then in between, I went back to India during the 2002 downturn and then came back in 2005. I did my MBA finance at U of T and now
working as Analyst since my second year ( due to F1 visa restrictions I couldn't have
done that in US). After graduation I am working there but looking for better options as well.
I came as PR in Canada. But i look at the international students from India in U of T. They are far better of than the international students in US. Here they get 3 years work permit
after graduation and can also work part time while studying. With new rules u get PR quickly after 1st year. Also during the 3 year post degree now they are eligible for the government health care like PR/Citizens. Canadian immigration is now highly tailored toward people
studying/working in Canada.
Compared to that, US treats its international students like dogs. If I get the opportunity to relive, one thing that I would not have taken was doing my previous MS in US. Moving to Canada was the smartest decision taken...no regrets.

[QUOTE=gapala;328433]The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work". Do not consider this as illegal presence, as his legal presence is controlled by a valid I-94.
The above underlined text is not correct. When USCIS approve a new peition ( call it transfer if you would like to although....) they do not cancel the old unless the employer who owns that petition sends a request to USCIS to cancel it. :)

Good post and to the point. On the side note you might be able to hide behind the portable closets.:)
Chandu, you made me laugh (in a fun way, not in the making fun of you way). Hiding is done inside the closet, not behind it. Maybe lack of clothes is explainable because one is "behind" the closet :)
On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
I have absolutely no right to ask that question because i have never contributed money. But when i am told that I dont have access to this thread or that thread because I am not a donor...I do have the right to question if this organization actually represents all immigrants or just the donors?? If the motto of IV becomes "Change for fairness and justice (For Donors Only)" then it would make a lot more sense to me. But as long as IV keeps on harping that they represent the plight of legal immigrants (which I am) then I do have the right to ask the question ..."What exactly has IV done?"
Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).

I am finding it difficult understanding what author meant here...
Can some one please help me understanding the text below from (paragraph 8)
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin. Rather, both State and CIS could post estimated "qualifying dates" on their websites so that, precisely as now happens in a consular case, USCIS would now allow pre-filing of adjustment applications so that applicants could begin to assemble the necessary documentation and send in their I-485 packages so that USCIS could conduct necessary checks and get the case ready for formal submission when the priority date is reached. Only at that point would CIS formally request an immigrant visa number from the State Department. Not until then would the adjustment of status be considered "filed". The beauty of this is that Congress need not lift a finger; all that need be done is for USCIS to modify the definition of filing contained in 8 CFR Sections 103.2 (a)(7) and 245.2(a)(2). If Congress wanted to ratify what the USCIS had done, it could certainly do so after the fact. Everything that we now consider to be the adjustment of status process could take place before the I-485 is "filed". Nothing could be simpler. The reason to seek Congressional modification of INA 245(a) is not because it is only way forward but because, by enshrining such a procedural benefit in the INA itself, it will be a much more secure right, one not subject to administrative whim or unilateral repeal. This process would not only afford the Visa Office a more accurate picture of adjustment demand but it holds out the potential of drastically slashing processing times. Far from granting adjustment applicants any special or unfair advantage, the use of qualifying dates as a way to define immediate visa availability would serve to harmonize the green card process in and out of the United States. Clearly, close and constant coordination between the Visa Office and USCIS would be required and integration of this procedural innovation with the Child Status Protection Act is transparently necessary. Given the obvious and not insignificant benefits, any transitional angst is surely worth the effort.
Does it mean pre filing can be done through executive power?
Thank you.

Obama's lack of experience does not bother me as much as Palins because you have to see what people have done in whatever experience they have had. Obama did community service, has had a strong moral fiber in whatever he has said. Palin has already abused whatever little power she had. Being a senator Obama has atleast been exposed to world-wide issues. I bet Palin cant even locate Georgia on the map. Did you see her recent interview? In spite of it being carefully staged, see her stumble aimlessly when it comes to the question of the Bush Doctrine... The biggest foreign policy change this country made (decision to make pre-emptive attacks) and Palin does not have an opinion on it because she does not even know what it is. The interviewer had to tell her what teh Bush Doctrine is all about. Are'nt you scared of a person like that leading the US? Why does this country always pick screwed up vice presidents (Dick Cheney's approval ratings have been <30% for as long as I can recall)
Either way, from an immigration point of view (focus of this forum) we are screwed (see my previous post for stances of both presidential candidates)
If the media holds Obama to the same standard as they do the republicans, you will see the democrats crumbling faster than a cookie.
There is so much hypocrisy in the media. If women vote for Sarah Palin it is wrong because you voting her just because of his gender. But oh, if you are black and dont vote Obama, then you are the most odious person living in this world. How will you explain your kids that you did not support a black person for presidency? This kind of duplicity is keeping Obama look good in the eyes of people. Throw off your goggles and you will see the same issues with Obama that you see with Sarah.
Also, so many low intensity criminals are asked to do community service, that does not qualify them to become the president of US. And what happened to his moral fiber when he changed his opposition to the telco immunity bill and voted so that he does not look bad on security issues? Did he use that fiber to get rid of his constipation issues??

Dude:
If you think you are qualified for an EB2 job why don't you apply for one and get another labor/140 filed rather than crying "Sour Grapes"? Get out of your comfort zone and try getting a new job. Simple. If you have been on an Eb3 since 2004, that explains your "Go getter" attitude. Be smart dude.
Well said. Especially in IT,every company irrespective of size is a consulting company in its own perspective.If its Microsoft, majority of the products are developed with a vast team size of thousands and no one can take a complete credit on that product, except the company.
That's why its called team work.Every individual team member contributes with their specalized skills and thats what they were hired for in first place.
Its just a matter that the Company felt that your skills require only a bachelor's degree for the work that you perform,whereas other company felt it requires a master's degree.
Also as a matter of fact since the last 10 years the technology has changed in such a fast pace,I can confidently say that just because someone is an architect in J2EE does not mean he is better than a Mainframe Programmer. Its just means that someone were at the right place at the right time during the Dot com boom.
Its easy for people working at big companies to move around and work for different projects as the size is directly proportional to the number of clients the company serves. Whereas for a small firm,due to their nature of business model,its always serving the Big Fish and supporting their projects. You can find number of sub-contractors working for IBM,HP etc etc. So if an employee of Big company and a contractor working on the same project does the same work,how are you as an employee better skilled than a contractor?
Its just that you chose a comfort zone by abiding by your comapnies policies,whereas a contractor chose to move around and work on exciting projects that suits his/her challenges.
So bottomline,someone being in EB2 or EB3 is just by choice of the individual and circumstances and here I assume each of them have same experience and qualification.
Example someone having an Engg degree from IIT is no different than a person from an average engg working on the same project. Its the IIT graduate that chose to work on the project that and average engg qualification person chose to work.
Same thing applies to EB2 and EB3 as well.

Guys wait till you see "real" bulletin and even if mirror to what has been placed to Mumbai Consulate, EB3 will forward perhaps slowly now but picking up. EB3-India with PD 2004 mid and before will not have to worry that much.
With all these new developments I am not sure it will really move any faster. May be after october 08 we may see some considerable movement in EB3.Mine is March 03. Hope fully I will get my GC by next summer, 09 summer.

Ok - checked up the Congressional reciord the S. AMDT 1249 has status " lie on table" that means it has been killed. I guess that is bad news. But then again why does AILA say
One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package.
Is there some procedure that can undo "lie on the table"
It's dead as a dodo

(2) Aliens who will be employed as professional nurses
(3) Definitions of Group I occupations:
(i) Physical therapist means a person who applies the art and science of physical therapy to the treatment of patients with disabilities, disorders and injuries to relieve pain, develop or restore function, and maintain performance, using physical means, such as exercise, massage, heat, water, light, and electricity, as prescribed by a physician (or a surgeon).
(ii) Professional nurse means a person who applies the art and science of nursing which reflects comprehension of principles derived from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences.
