One reason for the poor performance from DC area folks is that a GC does not open many avenues for folks in DC area. You could change from a 70K job to 90K job, may be. In Silicon Valley there are many more opportunities. You are talking about a change from 80K to may be starting a million $$ company.

Just a question, why is everyone so happy that the CIR has Failed and more importantly why does everyone on here feel that if CIR is resurrected it will "haunt" us?
If CIR fails to go into "production" this year, is it not true that we have ZERO reform? I mean would it not be better to ride this wave and try and sneak our provisions into the mix rather than SIMPLY feeling happy that CIR is "dead"?
At this point (even after the PD movement), About 70% of us are still in the retrogression mess and will continue to be in that mess till SOME immigration reform passes. So the question then is: Should we not be trying and praying that CIR passes WITH our provisions (and i know how hard the core team is working and hence i am asking this question). I mean the core team has given an infinite amount of time and energy to this project. Would it not be easier to see a bill finally pass and try and get our provisions in this bill rather than killing this bill?
Just a thought - I feel that sometimes it is worth losing a battle to win a war.
Having ridden this wave thus far, and knowing now how hard it is to get favorable amendments into this bill, I am finding myself siding with those who think it best if this bill dies. And we probably have better chances of attaching our items to other appropriations bills etc.
However I am a 100% behind IV core, whatever course they take.

Hi all, this is the new ID of bigtime007. As many has noticed, I was banned for the following reason:
You have been banned for the following reason:
Disruptive posts
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
After thinking about it, I feel very very sorry for disrupting the cheerful atmosphere on this forum. It is time for champagne, not complaints. This should be a place to congratulate and applaud IV's achievements, instead of that to express one's own frustrations. People with 07 PD has the privilege to cheer when they cut in front of us, but we should not feel sad for being pushed back because it is a disruptive behavior.
Please do not list what you have done to add items in the legislation to help BEC victims, it does not look genuine any more when it is considered disruptive to express one's depression on a board specially for BEC victims.
This will be my last post, as I am sure they will ban both my ID and IP. For everyone who still reads my post, Good luck!
Don't be sorry, but take action. Donate to IV and get your papers ready to file for 485.

Simple, the power will shift from Rep to Dem from Feb 15th(not sure about this date). So we have to to find a lobbying firm which is close to Dems.
IV go ahead and work on our cause. Some people will lose confidence as if you have guaranteed them something.
For MEMBERS,
IV is a group with folks like us. THey are also working like us and TRYING to get something passed for US. NOTHING is guaranteed by them. They do not have million dollars in their kitty to do the lobbying. What they have is mere 8000+ members in this org and mere 200+ monthly contributing members. What you can expect from them with this kind of support in US. This is not a thrid world country where you can go and bribe to get your job done. You need strong organization with good relationship with lawmakers. To get that, IV needs funds. Nothing would be guarnteed and this should be set in back of your mind. We can expect just the 100% positive efforts to solve the problem we have from IV. This is enough.
ok, i am beginning to lose confidence now... first no i-485 relief and now wait till CIR>.....last year, CIR turned out to be a big circus....i hope this time something productive happens....
why are we changing lobbying firm? what do you mean it is a strategic decision?
are we dissatisfied with our lobbying firm? pm me if you can post on public forum..
but we need answers....this leadership is going nowhere now......

hello,
during the july 2007 fiasco i applied for i485 and i got my ead and ap, but i have not used the ead and still using and maintaining my h1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago i went to india and used my ap when entering us though i had a valid h1 but i did not get the visa stamped and after entering us on ap i am still using and maintaining my h1 and not using ead. Recently i also got a 3 year extension on my h1.
Now i am applying for my new ap as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should i put in the "class of admission" field? Shall i put the aos or h1?

Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

Therefore best advise in EB3 India folks to convert into EB2 to get use of early PD like 2002 or 2003.
This is like telling passengers to move to the other side of the boat when it starts sinking one side. The outcome is only making the boat sink faster. Remember, the huge backlogs are not completely due to unavailable visa numbers.
Unless there is a real need, moving from EB3 to EB2 dont make much sense.

I was also put into "EB3-India" forcibly by my employer - they love to see me chained , you know !!
The only future i see for EB3 India folks is charge your EAD and do "W2 Consulting" or "1099-Consulting" and make money...... Dont worry about "future employment letters" or that "last minute RFE"... That RFE is not going to come before another 5-6 years at least. If by chance your time comes , then get a permanent Job and get a "future employment letter " from them.
The whole thing that i wrote above is absolutely legal. As long as you stayed with original GC sponsor for 180 days+ after 485 application and had intention to be with them ( that time 5-6 yrs back) had you got GC - You should be GOOD...
Get it going folks - that's our future :)
I don't see a future with EB3. If you have your EAD and AP and have a dream for future. Just use EAD and do it. Save money and in the worst case go to India or UK. But live LIFE WITH PASSION.

Your calculations are way too optimistic.
If a regular IV member is spending 1000$ on credit card why cannot he/she not contribute 50/100 $ per month to IV. I don�t know about you or others but I use the credit card is gives best deal for the month for that month.
As far as contributing money to IV, again it�s not about monitory constraints but about making our self give some money for our own cause.
Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).

Thanks, Andy. So, 80K LCs a year, 10%-15% of them will probably never get to AOS stage, 20% of those were duplicates (for people with petitions stuck in the backlog centers), so we are talking about 50-55K new labor certificates each year that will result in I-485. This is very consistent with 85K new capped H1Bs plus whatever number of exempt (non-profit research) H1Bs every year. So, we are talking about 100-110K total AOS applications (with dependents). Now lets take 140,000 EBs, substract Schedule A and EB1 (no need for LC), and there is probably 10K extra EB visas should be left over each year (quota less new potential EB petitions). Those are probably going to land in EB3 ROW. That means the retrogression will become less severe. What we are experiencing right now, is the rabbit that moves through the snake - the EB petitions resulting from a higher H1 cap several years ago.
Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.

My wife had a H1B working for company A from 08/2003 to 07/2005 (from I-94) and she filed another H1B application to work for company B in 05/2004. She got the notice, stopped working for company A and started working for company B. However, she never got the aprroval notice for the second H1B application. Actually this case is currently still pending. She worked for company B until 07/2005 which is the expiration date of the first H1B. She changed to F2 later in 07/2005. I was wondering if there is any problem about status or employment authorization for this period of time from 08/2003 to 07/2005.

Folks - I would just say - we must not look into things through a "convex mirror". racism and discrimination are big words and knowingly or unknowingly people do treat each other differently at different times and in different circumstances.
Most folks here are Indian and being indian we always feel that a Eurpoean looks down upon us.
When you have a wonderful "Air India" - why bother to even talk about other arilines? When you live in USA where everyone is treated the same - why bother about an 8 hour flight where air hostess was not pleasing or something else.
On Another note I have seen people claiming "Air India" as lousy toilets, useless old flight attendents, - I have seen people treating these flight attendents with attitude - finding fault with them etc.. A westerner will not do this.
I travelled in Air India this January and I can ONLY say - I loved it. I travelled in Delta, Lufthansa, Kuwait, Emirates, KLM etc.. and Air India was the best - just because I felt very nice about it. I liked Delta too.
Now, coming back to attitude - Air Hostess - some of them do have a lot of attitude - this is common among all airliners. I remember one air hostess who was anoyed with my kid as she was crying loud and I heard her saying to another passenger "I am getting a headache" - but then there were some air hostesses who actually played with my kid - gave her lot of stuff to eat and play, one of them even took pictures with my kid.
Now - lets discuss the issue - the airline put all Indians in a lounge because of visa rules - lets not blame the airline here. Indian govt MUST take it with France fovt and work out something that helps Injdian nationals transitting through France. To do such a thing, Indian govt must have a pressing reason and for that - regular travellers to Fraqnce must express concern and let govt know how beneficial it is to both Indian and France.
On another note - I see so many people love to talk about airlines and how people are treated, i would recommend that we open a thread for each airline and post some genuine issues with airlines like Transi visa issues, attitude probllems, rude behaviour, missing baggage, bad flights etc.... we can even write good things if we come across.
It is natural to bad mouth people or things, we cannot expect everything or everyone to be like what we expect - we can atleast expect that it is just the way things are.
