I posted this question at Change.gov. It has 301 votes now ...please vote for it and have others do it as well.
Current US Immigration laws create, long delays for LEGAL, highly skilled immigrants, in getting their permanent residency. These immigrants pay their dues. When you'll address their concerns or you'lll continue to punish them for following law?"
Engineer: Can you please provide the link for your question on Change.gov
We will ask our friends and colleagues to vote for it.
Great job..

I am an IV old timer and I was wondering where the IV old timers were?
black_logs, ragz4u. logiclife, waldenpond, berkleybee, shilpa?
How many core IV members have already received their GCs besides Aman, just curious?
Of late is there anything of note even happening on the lobbying front? IV seems to have become another Immigration Portal kinda website where people are now posting all sorts of info, some of it not even immigration related.
It would be nice if someone in the core team updated the rest of us, who cannot join the state chapters due to personal reasons on the website.

In my view H1B problem is directly related to Retrogression problem. Lets step backwards and analyze this.
Why so many GC were applied at the first place that caused retrogression. Because a large number of people came on H1B to US. All these people who came to US on H1b did not actually had any extraordinary skills. These people somehow got in touch with these Desi Consulting companies and came here without any skill and without any projects. These desi consulting companies applied there GC irrespective of the fact that these guys have a job or not. Some of the people I know have sat on bench for years, living with their relatives, unable to get any job. But they had their labour filed. These knid of people would not have made to US, if these fadudent companies were not there.
Also big companies, have a policy not to apply GC before one year of service. The point was that these companys will file GC only if they feel that the employee adds value to the company. But with these desi companys people have filed GC even before joining the companys.
In essence if the GC process was working without these Desi companies, I can bet that the number of GC applied would have been much lower than what have we currently have.
Substituted labor has further added to this problem.
I cannot agree with u more. Exactly what I want to say.

Read the article on today's washington post. I had to email the writer to get the website (email) information. He/She was nice enough to email me the website link. It would've been better if the website link was provided on the article itself, I think that would've directed few more folks to this site. This is a great effort indeed and I am glad I got to be part of it.
Just send in my $100. Hope it helps.

One step closer.
With last year crisscrossing, EB2 India most apps are cleared upto september 2004. We should not have too many in 2004 except substitution cases.
Hope it will step into 2005 in next 4 months....
Yes, I guess the slowdown will happen when it hits the 2005 mark when PERM was introducted and a lot of EB3 were converted into EB2

Logiclife, I am sorry you are wrong.You don't need to post hour by hour update, but the update you posted today on Aman's meetings , help people to understand what really IV is doing and are necessary atleast once a fortnight.I am sure you are working in a corporate world and drive projects.The first rule on driving a big project is status meetings once every week.This helps all the stakeholders.

Again, I would like to reiterate that I DO NOT consider an EB-3 candidate inferior just because he/she belongs to a catergory with a lower priority.
But, if you agreed to file in that category then you probably made a compromise and it is not wrong. Everyone is a victim of circumstances at one point or the other in their lives.

Not to dishearten any one or not intended against any one
Buying a home right now?? must be kidding me. Do you want to commit for a 30 yr loan when the starting rates are around 6.75 ? (How many will get that rate?). Keeping interest rate aside, There is no way any one can make 100K by buying a home in the current market. I am glad you could and sorry that I couldnt. I am looking at the DC area market that went crazy and now is cooling down. go to www.zillow.com and check homeprices and what happened to homes in the neighborhood.
Some facts about Allied Health care who plan on getting PT's and Nurses from India
Do you know that they need to get a visa screen certificate (PTs and Nurses) to get into the country?
Have you ever dealt with FCCPT & CGFNS (one that gives Visascreens for PT's & Nurses).
Do you know that the license they get is temporary (6 months ) and by the end of the 6 months they have to pass licensing exam in the US?
Do you know how much time they take for processing a type1 application (for applicants without a U S state PT license )?
Applicants must take TOEFL CBT/IBT and get 250/92 respectively. I am not sure about the exact scores. On IBT there is a section wise score you have to achieve minimally. If you have TOEFL CBT you have to take TSE as well and get 50 min. Many people in India get 45 to 48 even after 2 to 3 attempts
Schedule A is set to retrogress any time.
Health care is not IT, other wise desi consultants might have been pumping nurses like crazy into the US.
Hope I shed some light

Excuse my cynicism, but that hasn't quite worked out with the crowd in question (so far... ), has it? :)

We already have chapters as the first and foremost source of valuable information. Once someone becomes involved and committed, they will signup for monthly contributions themselves. If we have enough of that to guarantee a decent source of recurring income like 20 40 k or whatevr, I dont see the need to deprive some depressed soul surfing the net looking for some reassuring information from having to goto bed in peace.

I do not mean to be negative, but this immigration debacle does not seem to end. How long do we have to freaking endure this nightmare? IV has been trying for months now...When do you think we will have immigration relief? Are we just going to end up being like thirsty deers in a desert chasing a mirage in search for water?
Are there any astrologers in the forum? Does any astrologer see the retrogression ending soon?
Viva
Relax !
There is a saying in Hindi which goes like this:
" Kismat se zyada aur waqt se phele kabhie kissi ko khuch nahi milta"
CIR will come through. We just have to be patient and keeping pushing for our demands. The whole country acknowledges that immigration system needs to be fixed. I'm sure something good will come out of all the efforts.
Cheers

Anti-immigrants can not be able to pick on this, because Retrogression will worsen all these things. Those people will continute to work with those desi consulting companys irrespective of the fact that they have GCs or not, because they cannot stand on their own feet.
If the retrogression goes away then people with good skills can move freely in the market and will be more readily available to the market. In fact that would harm thse companys big time. Currently both good and not so good people are hostage in the hands of these companys and these companys are sort of dictating the makket conditions.
In economic terms the difference is same as Free market and monopolistic market.
thx. this is enlightening for me! survival of these companies hurts ppl with high skills, it increases retrogression, and it untimately harms the economy as well.

Are there only 3 people suffering from namechecks?
This issue can be pushed if we have strong support for it.
I believe most of the members of IV are in the receipt/FP mode. Newly filed mass.
Yet to worry about the namecheck. And for EB3 and EB2 post 2004 filers the burning issue is still country wide quota.

What you think and suggest is your problem. I know what all i had go through to be where I am today. I did a receive a call on either occasion from the Presidents office. As a matter of fact when I wrote to the FL and the Senators office then too I received calls.
Keep you subject very precise and on the top of envelop remember to mention "Immigration Assistance". Please use ordinary mail 41 cents stamp and wait and watch.
All the best !!!!
Forgot to mention on all the instance I had sent hand written personal letters just stating traumatic situation which I am going through. Also remember this is a request which we are asking for and there is no moral obligation on their part to expedite.
Cheers !!!

Just a correction SBI charges Rs. 25 for every transaction whether < 1000 or more.
Service charge of Rs.25/- (inclusive of Service Tax @ 12.36%) will be levied on every transaction where foreign currency conversion is carried out w.e.f. 16 May 2008.
As per experience, they will not charge if you transfer money directlty into SBI branch in India and if it is Greater than 1000 USD into other than SBI branch, they will not charge even that 25 rupees service charge... It was my experience till last week....you can check with customer support specailist on this.....

I read about your intense desire for GC and was thinking to myself... is GC something that someone has to be so very obsessed about? But after reading about your ordeal on this thread, I am starting to see why this is such a joyful time you in you life. Congrats!!! And I wish you all the best ... hope you will get to taste the better fruits of life now after having gone through so much crap.
This is a standing testimonial of the kind of negative impact this broken, fu**ed up immigration system brings to the life of individuals. Core IV team, I think we should package this person's story and use it as an example of how bad things can get in this system and publicize this incident. Maybe mail his story to all the incoming senators and house reps and make them see the kind of shit every single person undergoes in this system. This almost makes Abu Gharib prison system look like a Christmas fete ... atleast they KNOW the kind of crap they will have to endure each day. With the US immigration system, you never know what they will hit you with next.
