They won't be any better off here.Instead of being kicked out fair and square, they will be made to decay on H1 visas for 15-20 years. Talk of choosing a rock over a hard place. Besides, the British MPs seem to at least understand what skilled immigration means - here they will have the pleasure of being grouped with meat-packers and grape-pickers who matter-of-factly walked across the border.
I think its also a lesson for those tired of the US immigration system and considering moving to other countries - lets face it, immigrants are not exactly welcome anywhere. Either stick it out, or return to home country.
Yes, I heard about them, and I know that a lot of people are moving/going to move to the US and will be flooding the h1b visa quota sooon.

I totally agree with the majority opinion here.
That IV is the best organised, dedicated organisation out there looking out for people I can identify with.
Have they done a good job? The question is the other way round. This is an open organisation. The core members are easily accessible. Anyone who is willing to contribute in terms of volunteer work, if not contribution, is more than welcome. What are You willing to do?
This is not a rhetorical question... I'm not what they call the core member.. I'm on the outermost orbit. I just contribute money (once, till now) and log in once in a while. But at least I�m doing something, and it makes me feel a little better that for a change, I�m contributing to a genuine bunch of people who are willing to make personal sacrifices for something that affects me.
That said, is all criticism bad? Here is where it gets a little tricky.
Why is that?? Lots of reasons.. About the dangers (and futility) of having a zero-tolerance for criticism in an open web-based community. Some of it, though, does provide a pointer to the complexity of the issue. For instance, one of IV's goal is to guard against discrimination against legal immigration. Queue jumping, in short. Yet, thousands of us are stuck in BEC's (Dallas and more importantly, Philly), awaiting a "labour" certificate. The whole process is idiotic and obviously there is something seriously fishy there since there has been no significant movement in years.. and everything is handed to a 'private' contractor for data entry and software development, and there is NO communication or transparency. (Yeah, you can blame my innate cynicism, but coming from where I come from, I can smell corruption a mile away - and this thing stinks!). Is it on IV's radar? I believe so, and there have been very clear and positive statements on strategy regarding this issue on IV.com. Also, I understand that the focus should be on maximising our efforts on the immediate issue, which is the legislation - especially given our limited resources.
But I would love to have it moved a little towards the centre of the radar screen rather than languishing on the periphery..

The instruction reads as
** DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS
USCIS does not mention anywhere that you either SHOULD or SHOULD NOT send photos.
So a better assumption can be "send photos".

Google for something called "Follow to Join", if you were single then why did you apply for 485? Atleast you could have withdrawn teh application if you had applied by mistake....
But for follow to join i think there is a clause that the person should be married before 485 gets approved, meaning the primary applicant did not add spouse to 485 and his 485 gets approved or the wife does not have 485 approval then they can use follow to join.
But do speak to an attorney if follow to join can be applicable in your case (i remember reading some 60 day limit or so) but please confirm and act accordingly.
Otherwise only other option you have is to get married and bring your spouse on any other visa like h1b or so.
Dontworry my friend speak to a good attorney they may advice what to do.
Yes, Follow to Join applies only if married before I-485 approval. I am in the same boat, and stuck in EB3-I category.

I know of a colleague who lost her father but could not go to perform the last rites because she did not have the H1 stamped and the earliest appointment that any consulate in India was giving her was 4 months away.
She should have tried through the emergency quota/appoinment to get her stamping.. Death in immediate family is a accepted for this and I know a colleague you had to go for India for the very same reason, death in the family and returned back after getting his stamping. Got his appointment through EQ.
The article posted is touching, but out lives are not that bad .. We are far more better and we do have a good life.

Highly Skilled Professionals Call on Congress to Pass Green Card Reforms
Immigration Voice Organizes Congressional Advocacy Days for Highly Skilled Legal Professionals
Washington, D.C. – From April 4-5 2011, over 175 members of Immigration Voice from around the nation will descend onto the nation's capital to ask their congressmen and senators for reforms to the broken Green-Card process.
“While K-Street, the Hi-Tech industry and Congress is distracted once again by H-1B visas, recycling the same old talking points one more time, Immigration Voice’s laser-like focus remains on the nearly 500,000 highly skilled immigrants who remain backlogged for 10-15 years waiting for their Green Cards,” said Aman Kapoor, president of Immigration Voice. “These highly-skilled professionals believe that the H-1B visa controversy sucks-up all the oxygen in the room whenever employment-based immigration policy is discussed. However, the real problem lies in the fact that there is a huge pool of talent untapped by American employers in the form of highly skilled legal professionals who have been living here on temporary visas as they patiently wait for their Green Cards. These law abiding, tax-paying, highly skilled future Americans, cannot start their own companies and immediately create jobs in America, change employers or accept promotions during the Green Card application process, which now spans 10-15 years. This creates serious quality of life issues and ultimately hurts the U.S. economy.
“Immigration Voice aims to create awareness with members of Congress, congressional staff and policy makers about the Green Card backlog, which inhibits job creation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation for all Americans. These immigrants are waiting to showcase their innovation leadership with their U.S. work experience American education. Immigration Voice will insist that Congress focus on the Green Card backlog rather than on H-1B visas,” concluded Kapoor.
Immigration Voice has arranged nearly 350 visits to congressional offices April 4-5 in both the House and Senate. You are invited to meet these activists at their Capitol Hill reception:
What: Immigration Voice Congressional Reception
When: 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Where: B-340 Rayburn House Office Building
To learn more and to arrange an interview with Immigration Voice on the dates listed above, Contact: Immigration Voice (202) 386-6250 or Press@ImmigrationVoice.org
Founded in December 2005, Immigration Voice is a rapidly growing, national grassroots, non-profit 501 (c)(4) organization with 57,000 highly-skilled legal immigrants as members. Immigration Voice is committed to commonsense reforms to the employment-based immigration and Green Card process.

Why sing American Anthem?
Dear Friend
That�s the difference between the last generation immigrants and us.
When they came to us they embrace America as their homeland, and keep their roots. But we are not, because of that we let Americans suspicious about us.
I don't want you to forget your roots, Keep it as it also embrace the place where you live and earning your daily bread and butter.

NSC is like a lottery station. You have no idea when your petition will get adjudicated. Forget the dates. There are only two categories; lucky and unlucky. Lucky guys get out in one year. Unlucky guys stuck for three or four years.
As of now, they are concentrating all the resources towards approving as many Naturalization petitions as possible. Say, 70-80% of their resources are concentrated on that process. They are under tremendous pressure from politicians to get as many new voters for upcoming November elections as possible.
Hiring new staff and training them is going on but you will not see the results until January or February 2009. Apparently, these agents will have to go through thorough FBI check before selected for training. As usual, it met with few bureaucratic delays. They are at least 7 months behind their target in hiring new staff.
Remember, this same agency released "Strategic Vision" report in 2004, where they proclaimed to adjudicate I-140s in 180 days and eliminate backlogs before the end of Bush's presidency. Wow! what an efficient implementation of the "Strategy". Soon, they will come up with a "New Vision", which will get blurred within days. Story repeated.
So, EB guys, forget about our I-140s and 485s for a while. They will crawl, atleast until October end.
More over, what you are dealing with is the most inefficient and callous agency in the US government. Since this agency does not deal directly with US citizens, very rarely they will have to answer anybody, unless they screw up big time.
There are only two things that get you green card; patience and luck.
Good luck to all of us.

I think we need to be careful these kind of conversations aren't detrimental to the current campaign and to IV. I am new here, but I do also feel the drive that chanduv23 has and you know, sometimes you do feel like posting it everywhere and on your forehead. This backlog situation sometimes gets the better of us! I am all for organizing too, we need that. But I do sympathize with those who feel desperate to reach as many visitors as possible. There are still folk out there who would like to send their letter, let's encourage them and still be organized. I promise to keep my posts to threads already existing from now on. Thanks :)
Nothing wrong in posting threads that help support a cause. My question to all those who are attacking me - why are we fighting among ourselves? Why can we not work towards the goal?
Please keep up the good work - you are doing a great job.

I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.
You need to live in that house for at least 5 years to recoupe the commision/closing cost. Will you pay the loss if someone needs to sell the house suddenly due to immigration.

All,
anyone knows about this visa, is this family sponsorship GC ?
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
What do you want to know? I130 and I485 needs to be filed. Both Counselor Processing as well as AOS allowed.
This is current Priority Date
--- China ---- India
2A 01OCT03 01OCT03 For Spouse and Children
2B 01NOV99 01NOV99 For Unmarried children above 21
For EB based guys, my understanding is that this PD is same as Labor Certification PD which was used for GC - correct me if I am wrong.

Guys and Gals,
I decided to go with my credit union and called them this morning to lock the rates. I just received some disclosures and rate lock agreement, when I was reading it, there was a section where it asks "Are you a U.S citizen?", loan office assumed that I'm a citizen and checked the box.
I understand that I should tell them the truth, but wondering if that may increase my interest rates. Please share your experience or advice you may have for me.
H1B - Valid till 2011
EAD - Expires on Sept 08 (will be renewing it soon).

I don't think it is true. My lawyer said using AP will not invalidate H1B.
I have seen many people saying they came through AP and extended H1B , some even 3 times.
Anyway, I am travelling outside and planning to use my AP while coming back. I will post a message if I come through H1B
Thanks Buddy !! PM me when you come back plz.

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

The D70 is said to be of better build quality than the digital Rebel. The image quality, for all practical intents and purposes, should be considered so close that it's not a concern in choosing one vs. the other. Of course, you pay $200 - $300 more for the D70, and you buy into the Nikon system (which some people have already written off as dead and jumped over to Canon), so that might be a disadvantage, depending on how you view the current camera market. Note that I own neither yet, shoot with a film SLR, but would buy a D70 if I could afford one... so take these statements with a few grains of salt. ;)
Also, consider that you'll be wanting large memory cards very quickly, if you don't have some already; if that must be factored into the budget, then the DRebel is the only one that fits within the limit you stated.
