I decided to move to india now. I have I140 cleared and having a permanent job. But enough is enough!
I started looking openings at india 2 weeks ago and most probably will get a offer from a US financial giant having IT shop at bangalore.
I think this is right decision at this time.
Any suggestions/feedback guys?
Everybody's case is different, when it comes to how they feel being a in a foreign country and hanging by a thread to get a stable status and stable life. You seem to have gotten a stable job which probably means you are better than most of the people who are working as contractors. But what matters is being on Visa, are you able to enjoy your life here? Will getting a GC help you have a better life or will you continue to lead the same life?
I think if you believe getting a GC will help you lead a better life you should stay here - since your i140 is cleared its another 4-5 yrs wait max. On the other hand if your job here is unstable and you think you will have a better life back home, then you should move. Bangalore is a great city as long as you have a comfortable job and good pay.

As I read the thread above on the perennial point of contention PD or RD or ND.
My question to the forum is how can TSC (My case was filed at TSC) sent an RFE if the case is not opened....I received an RFE in Nov of 2008...my 485 RD was July 23rd 2007 and ND was Sept 5 th 2007.
The RFE was responded to....now I was surely out of the ND window last year and technically an IO shouldn't have opened my file...but apparently he did...
Since I was contacting my local congressman and Senators...I got this feedback that my case is pre-adjudicated but waiting to have a visa number available....but I don't know who to trust...I am just not very hopeful and if 485 ND is the date they go by I have no chance and will miss this opportunity too.

Dear friends: Thank you all for the wonderful support and willingness to work for this. We need to convert our word to action in the coming days, if IV CORE has a positive feasibility analysis result.
"Nothing preaches better than the act."
~ Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790, American Scientist, Publisher, Diplomat)
So all of you who support this, please think in terms of how you can convert your verbal support into action in some way, in the coming days.
Regarding a HIGH VISIBILITY Campaign
"Sometimes a scalpel is better than a sword"
My opinion: Personally, I am against high visibility campaign for an admin fix. We do not need too much visibilty for an admin fix unlike a legislative fix. In the case of admin fix, we need to focus on those few who can positively act on our request. In this case, those might be Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano, USCIS acting director etc. In the case of an admin fix a highly talented, politically skilled, IV delegation should work as the front end of this effort. While all others in the community should raise funds to support this delegation and their activities. We can form regional groups to raise funds on behalf of IV. Many of you can do that. Form groups of 5 at each region and try to arrange an Indian/Chinese movie show in your local theatre for raising funds. You can come up with better ideas than this for raising funds. This is just an idea came to my mind from my limited knowledge.
YESSS ..
after looooong time i am seeing a good idea ...
Approaching Hillary is right one.
Can we do letter campaign , similar one we did with President Bush ?

I think you should consider accepting stories of those you have yet to start their GC process. This gives another perspective, to tell people that even those who are highly qualified and experienced are in two minds whether to file for GC or not. Why this thought? this is because the delays and long wait acts as a deterent. End of the day, if these people are already frustrated at the onset, then they may decide to leave US and seek opportunities elsewhere, leading to loss of such valuable talent to the US. This was explicitly highlighted in yesterday's Judiciary Committee presentations by the four Economists.
While accepting stories from those waiting for GC, please also accept stories from those who are apprehensive of filing due to the delays, hence conveying a reason that US risks losing highly skilled workers should these circumstances continue.
These are my thoughts!
And I agree with you 100%. If you would carefully read my posts, you will notice that I have said to Waitnwatch that the reporter I was referring to specifically wanted someone who was in the process. This clearly is limited to one reporter only.
We might have a reporter tomorrow who wants to cover IV but only those folks who are not even starting their process and wary of the wait.
So please do not misconstrue me. Send in your stories. It does not matter if you are just a student looking forward to immigrate, someone like Waitnwatch who is collecting documents to start the process, someone retrogressed, in the back logs or even just on the verge of getting approval. We need all the stories.
When we go to Senators, if we present a spectrum of stories like this, it will have the most impact.
Hope this clarifies a lot.
A humble request though. Please do not send me stories by messaging. I have a separate folder that I use for this and it would really help if you would email me instead of messaging me. Also, please follow the template so that we know exactly in which stage of GC you are, who are your senators etc.
Thanks

Unfortunately the system does not work that way. Let me ask you this. If you believed in being result oriented and time bound and made an investment to file your green card, when do you think the investment will pay off? Some things money can't buy, it takes tonnes and tonnes of energy to make a change. Believe in this organization and invest your time in helping this organization.
Actively participate in all action items, mobilize your community, your state chapters. Spread awareness and build a sense of cohesiveness. Consider everyone here part of a family and remember everyone who works tirelessly work for all of us, not just them. Find out if there is anyway you can help, there are so many opportunities where IV needs all of us. Stand up, get up and move..
Yes, after all the hard work there are things that may not work, but if we don't try, the system will not fix itself.
I tried saying the same thing in all my posts. But people are just not willing to organize themselves to help themselves. Everyone wants the issue to be fixxed, but no one wants to come forward.
Everyone asks about IVs agenda. IVs agenda is clear - "IV has given you a platform, so help yourself". If people are willing to take up a cause - IV will support. But our people do not want it. People want to discuss, crib and cry and blame IV and fight.

This is ridiculous. Just trying to blame a good Sherrif.
I am from AZ and Sherrif Joe is the best and the whole country should be proud of him.
He is doing the job which is supposed to be done by Federal govt and ICE, trying to take care of a border state county.
Well you always have critics when you are doing a good job or he wont keep getting elected again and again.
I'm from AZ too but that's besides the point. We are definitely not discussing if Sheriff Joe is the best or not. Being humane is what most people are talking about.

Senthil has articulated legal basis of current system. However, many members feel agrieved by current situation. My displeasure with current law was based on my perception about principles of natural justice and a dogma that one measure (current provisions) should not negatively impact other's basic rights for happiness, equality, nondiscrimination etc. Courts could take a look at how much damage or injury is possible or actually already resulting (stalled careers, family separation, life on hold, creativity-innovation halted) in current system. Atleast it will open up healthy debate and rational measures to address genuine problems.
Could anybody clarify as to whether counting of family members towards annual quota is mandated by congress or it is an administrative provision.
Bill Clinton did a wonderful fix by signing AC21 which corrected many shortfalls of immigration law.
I am personally not impacted by backlog. However, I am feeling bad enough for the failure of current sysem that overlooks human tragedies. 180-day name check fix is a commendable step by USCIS (brought about by healthy debate and do not look at this as court-imposed). As in the scientific world, peer review and criticism is taken seriously in this country. By law suit, we are trying to create peer review or honest analysis about this impasse. No body wins but the truth and humanity.
If there is any way to open up annual quota (recapture, family members exempt from annual limit or any measure I am not aware of), automatically everybody could benefit. It may be also possible for EB3 to interfile or refile for EB2 and take advantage of old priority date and shorten the wait. There is no magic wand! We could help our administrators, law makers, law protectors and law upholders to make appropriate corrections. Hence, scientific and rational dialogue through fair and just means should be our focus.
Let us highlight our difficulties in a logical way. Go about living normal life but stand up for something you believe in.
Honestly, Ineed to do some research on EB3 situation and see if there is something more meaningful to share with IVians.

I think it all boils down to this scenerio
you have a seriously injured uninvited person in your front lawn about to die. what are you gonna do ?
Some people would want that 'problem' to go away and some would want to help the person. Our actions make what we are ..
BTW if anyone is interested, child birth generates 9 dols (measure of pain) of pain and at 10 dols a person dies. 9 dols is maximum pain a human being can suffer.
Take your pick.
I will call the Emergency services, to take the person off of my property...that is what I will do....
And you know what..they probably gave this woman epidural too....

I have a question regarding "out of status" situation for me
Here is my employment history.
1/1/2001 - Enter USA with H1B from Company A
1/30/2001 - Offer letter from Company B (No pay checks from Company A)
2/9/2001 - Started working for Client via Company B (Got Pay checks from Company B)
4/2/2001 - Received H1B receipt for Company B
5/25/2001 - H1B approval notice with validity till Jan 2004
Nov 2001 - H1B Transfer Approved for Current Employer
Feb 2003 - Re entry to USA
Oct 2004 - Re entry to USA
1. I am out of status till 4/2/2001 or May 2001?
2. In G-325A, Should I be reporting employment from Feb 2001 or Apr 2001 for Employer B?
3. Since I am with my current employer for more than 5 years, can I give this information when requested from USCIS?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

I am not on estrogen therapy, but I decided to write about the feelings that I underwent during the 3 days of the event. If you do not want to read the entire post, skip to the last paragraph.
1. Anxiety: On Sunday, as I was making my way towards Hyatt Regency on the Capitol Hill (a beautiful and an expensive hotel) I was a little anxious about meeting new people (I am a closet introvert :D ). I was not sure if the people would just continue the non-productive conversations about Eb3 vs EB2 or India vs ROW or just be plain annoying. Boy, was I wrong!!! That anxiety disappeared in a matter of minutes after walking in the situation room. The folks were dedicated and meant business. The leadership of the core group was evident, they made sure that we didn't go off message, relatively an easy task for them since most of us there realized the importance of keeping on message.
2.Excitement: As we started the training, people started pouring great ideas (and few not so great IMHO).The trainer in chief chased each of these ideas to its logical conclusion and without saying whether they had merit or not made it obvious for us to decide. How classy and what a phenomenal coaching style!. The talking points that we discussed were articulated meticulously and question/comments were dealt with insight, experience and facts (this one is very important, we all know what opinions are like...). This was the one feeling (excitement) that lasted through the 3 days and I still cant shake it off (not that I am trying, but I don't want people to confuse me for the energizer bunny!! - we have some one else for that ;))
3.Nervousness: The first meeting. No, no not with the folks from Congress, but the mock meeting at the training session. The veterans gave us a demonstration of their insights/ knowledge and quick wit. So of course I was nervous coming in after that performance. I volunteered to be on the first ones of these mock sessions and felt all eyes in the room on me. I tried to focus on the task at hand (which was at that time, to stop my legs from shaking ;)). Perhaps, the mock session was the toughest of all the meetings that I had on the hill (remember that the hotel was 'on the hill' too :)).
4.Awesomeness: This is what it was all about. For me as a first timer, entering the hallowed halls of congress and participating in the democratic process up close and personal is an awesome feeling. Just walking down those corridors and noticing the closed doors with signs that say 'Appropriations Committee', or 'Democratic Caucus' and knowing that laws that affect lives of more than 300 million people are being crafted, debated and being voted on right there....what a rush. I think this too will be with me for a long long time.
5.Camaraderie: This is a fun bunch of serious people on a mission. I think mostly everyone hit off well with everyone else. I made a whole bunch of acquaintances that I feel could mature into strong friendships. Even though we worked our collective butts off, there was always light hearted humor floating around. It was great.
6.Gratitude: Looking at the hard work put in by the countless tireless volunteers was a humbling experience. These very kind souls put in hour after hour of work during the event but they put in even more before the event started. I don't know, if the rest of you know, organizing an event at such a scale is a massive undertaking and despite hiccups we came out the other end in great shape. My gratitude goes to all the people that put their hearts, minds and souls in allowing our community to participate in the democratic process at the highest level. Thanks for making this happen.
Why am I writing this you wonder (or may be not). This event changed me. I felt myself grow in these 3 days. I rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous and powerful men and women in the nation and conveyed our message. I also saw first hand the resource constraints that IV has and how they figure something out and make it happen. Trust me folks, it is not easy to work thanklessly for days on end for 18 hours and still keep a cheerful demeanor but they did. My sincere thanks to IV leadership, all the fellow volunteers and all monetary contributers for allowing me such a great opportunity. Part of me hopes that we never have to do this again, but that hope also makes me sad that I probably wont get to experience a full gamut of feelings again.
