That one gives the description of the plight of GC aspirants not what kind of scenarios in different phases of GC are contributing this plight. What specific action by a congressman has to be taken which section of the law has to be modified in what exact wording should be. Many people say about issues and plight but what exactly has to be done and where and by whom. Sorry if I still missed the info other than the one you gave in the link
Please contribute as much as you can. IV Core will do their best to resolve many of our problems.The issues you mentioned are some of the issues core has been working.

Exempt from the H-1B cap; not the EB cap. See line 14 on page 2 of H.R. 5630 (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=110_cong_bills&docid=f:h5630ih.txt.pdf).
Bummer!

Did I mention EB cap in my earlier post? I mentioned CAP which does not conclude that it is EB cap. I went through the bill too.
No offence to anyone. Of all the drama that was going on from Jan 2006 until now, I feel (+ve) that our issues(EB relief) will be taken into consideration only when they come to the topic of making the illegals into legal residents of this country. Any immigration debate in Congress cannot be taken up without considering the Illegal Issue.
We will see and will be surprised to see that an illegal will be granted a status independent of an employer and will also have the travel permit and he/she can live here forever renewing his status.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise

Based on one of the core member's request, I did the research and shared the information with IV members, so that when you get the GC, you could make informed decision.
Please be optimistic. You getting GC should not be a question of “if”, it should be a question of “when and how soon”.
REQUEST ::
Please support IV and make it happen soon.
I think this thread is very informative and relevant at this time a lot of people are getting green cards and that has to be on their mind.
I did read about a case long back in 19XX there was a brink mason who came here on an EB GC and worked for his original employer for just 1 day and switched the employer sued or may be the INS charged him (Not to clear on it) but the gist is that he got his GC and courts ruled in his favor because he showed that the work promised was not the one he was asked to do the conditions were different and hence he was not bound to work in those conditions.
BTW I think this is very relevant thread gave you some green. (Actually my green turned your status from Red to Green):D

I guess EB3 will finally cross 2001 barrier in the next bulletin.
For Eb2, it will be like the new EB3. Just too many cases were filed in EB2 after 2005.
Good luck to everyone.:)
What is the use? EB3 had crossed into 2003 last year. Then they moved it back to 2001. Which means that they have a lot of applications pending from 2001, 2002.

if only we knew about this program in advance, we could've called. :mad:
Yes. Even I did not know it. I was trying to find out if Cspan was showing the hearings in Dallas and found this. I immediately tried calling the lines but they all seemed busy. There were some callers who were criticizing foreign high skilled immigrants and that jobs were being taken away from them and wages were being lowered and they are being allowed to come and stay in the country.
Lets see how the hearings go in Dallas. FYI IV has tried contacting the speakers in the hearing.

Also I dont see anywhere the real PD mentioned anywhere.
Sorry I might be blind or really really drunk.
But if someone can point me that PD mentioned anywhere above.
I dont understand how my specific PD would help answer my questions , atleast in this case !! The PDs for EB3 india have moved from May 8 2001 to Aug 8 2001. Not a big move not a huge range of PDs in this bucket of PDs getting current in March. So I assume specific PDs within that bucket won't experience totally different results based on PD alone.
Anyway my PD is May 11 2001.
And looks like some one gave me a red dot with a comment "Asking too many questions, just relax !" ...
May be this person wants me to create a separate thread for each question :) Sorry friend for consolidating all my questions into one single thread and post!

Newsflash: USA is a country (with a boundary). USA has a national anthem. They like to sing it, everywhere. If it makes them happy when I sing it, I will sing it too. It is like visiting someone's home and you are asked to take off your shoes at the entrance. Maybe you don't agree with it, but out of respect to the host it is a nice thing to do.
Relax and be more generous! I think you have more boundaries in you than this country has.
(If USA goes to war with my home country, I think they will trust me less if I come here and live and refuse to sing the national anthem...)
If you dont take off the shoes at the entrance, maybe you are showing disrespect.
But by not singing their NAnthem, dont think it means disrespect !
If we sing each nation's anthem and leave out theirs, this will mean disrespect. !
I think we are not yet permenant residents of this country .. so singing the NAnthem does not look appropriate. But due compliments to Pankaj, He has a wonderful voice!
You never know what will happen to our GCs!! So lets remmember where we are from & what state we are now, that will help us to be more pragmatic.
And about the war thing, my conscience may not permit me to support another nation at this point in time!!
Please dont be offended , just sharing thoughts!

Hi there,
What a rationale you are using. So then "kids should not suffer" and then the answer is yes, go ahead and reward those who broke laws with an amnesty. That would make their 19 old kids very soon able to apply for I-485 to bring in their parents as well. The USCIS does not have enough cases left from the 245(i) amnesty to be processed ahead of the legal folks, right? Pump up few more MILLION Dream Act amnesty cases there and let us know how you do. What a slap on the face of those who played by the rules? Moreover, are you going to apply your kindness to the 1 billion of people who want to come here? I agree children should not suffer. How about a feasible solution? Here it is :So why don't you write to the Congress of respective countries these kids came from and make them repatriate their folks and provide government employment and a reintegration program back home for those kids? Yes, that is technically doable. That would solve the situation of their children and more importantly, it would be a clear message that parents should not expose their children to this situation.
Think about the absurdity of this Dream Act and your line of thought;it just encourages more parents to come here illegally and bring their children here "to suffer", making us, the legal folks and citizens of this country pay for it unfairly. No, thank you! I came here on H1B and my children is not eligible for in-state tuition. If we start playing this game that people who jumped the fence and now can take advantage of it because they were "smart, so it would be time to rename this country name from USA to Mexico. Believe me, I don't think that is going to happen without a good fight though. Trust me.
Bill Gates did a good job today in his speech. What is fair is fair. Now trying to come up with this Dream Act thing and again we the legal folks would be pushed to the back of the line. You guys don't get it. Every time something goes around, it comes to hurt whoever plays by the rules. Coming from India and other *#&#$ places and being educated and after observing what that freaking 245(i) and other amnesties have done to us, I am surprised you still do not get it. Yes, count on me to write to the US Congress. I will write to denounce this absurd Dream Act and ask them to adopt a fair immigration system to the legal employment base greencard applicants. For the children, I will urge them to adopt the proposed and feasible solution of charging the government of the respective countries to reintegrate and support their own children. Win-Win situation for everyone.
If you have a perception that I am pissed off, you are a winner.
Thanks,
Tito
Let us get opinion of others on this. Should we write to law-makers to address this issue. Atleast these kids should not suffer. If they have got their most of the education here in US, they should be be given permnent residence before they go to college.

We should have this link in IV wiki.

i believe that whatever the above stories convey it does not apply to skilled workers......life in india/china has got better only in the last 5-7 years....otherwise i have seen above average people in india retire with barely enough to live a good life.
if a skilled worker spends 6-7 years in usa with good financial planning he can easily retire, unless one has really started living the dream(big car....big house...all the latest gadgets....yearly india trip...etc..)
i do agree that this story can be related to a non-skilled worker from any country....(even below average americans have nothing except for social security when they retire....)
techy2468 I hope you are kidding & r not serious :) . If you are then u need to meet someone (ofcourse skilled professional) who came 6 /7 yrs ago & ask his opinion on retirement or check out where he stands.
You did not mention any figures (would love to see them from you as well as others reading this thread ) so not sure what you consider to be good savings/financial planning for retirement ?
According to you all those who came in 1999/2000 have enough savings & can start thinking of retirement now.
Do you all guys agree to this or is it only me who is still poor :D ?
Here are some approximate figures, which i hope go for most of the skilled professionals
Assume billing rate: $90K - $100K per year
Consulting Company cut $ 30K - 40K per year
Let's say average salary is: $60K ( i know many professionals r working for even less but let's include some little rich guys too :) )
Now 60K means $5K salary per month
After Family Health Insurance (considering married) & taxes salary in hand is $3500 to $4000
Let's take $4000 in hand
Now expenses :-
House rent : $850
Car Insurance : $150
Car Loan payment : $250 (assuming used Toyota/Honda for 8K - 12K, No big dreams :) or rich lifestyle )
House Utilities bill : $150 (like water, electricity etc)
Cable/Internet/phone : $75 ( No HBO or special channels - No big dreams :) )
Grocery : $500
Eating out once a week : $125
Lunch out : $0 ( ask your wife to give u lunch :D - No big dreams)
Misc $300
Total monthly expenses $2400
(living an average middlecalss lifestyle)
Savings per month 4000 - 2400 = $1600
Now in 6 - 7 yrs (assuming the person worked like a "Donkey" :D with not a single vacation , no trips to india)
12months X 6/7yrs X 1600savings = $ 115,200/ $134,400 (Total Savings)
Do you really think this is sufficient to buy a house & lead a retired life either here or in india ???? or maybe i hv started thinking big :D
(By the way even after 6 yrs i don't hv anything close to above figure -maybe because i did't live/work like a donkey)

After reading other posts I am inclined ot think may be only SSN Taxes issue can be appropriately presented to Minister. Because if read correctly and other posts here are right, other country citizens in US get their SSN back because of a special treat.
So Retrogression is a problem but can not be represented to Minister due to reasons posted here !

I called Senator Ed Kennedy's office and was told that CIR is likely to be introduced in early March something like first week. They of course told me that there are no guarantees, but more a reasonable probability.
