Looks like we have a 4th member from WA going to the event! WOW!
Folks from Microsoft and other companies came together and helped sponsor some of our attendees, how are the rest of you doing?
GO IV!

Hey, I am still left with 5 more days for my 90 day period. Would you suggest me to go ahead and take the Info pass?? Am not sure, does the info pass schedule has a waiting period too?
I would suggest to go ahead and take infopass appointment as the chances are that you might not get appointment right away, if you have a choice on selecting dates, take one after 5 days, so you have passed 90th day.
take the PDF june 12th memo with you as well.
If you are lucky and get your card prod. email , you can cancel infopass anytime.

Do you guys think if USCIS will give reply to her letter .If they give reply, all the big heads have to resign :-) .
Since the matter turned political now, we have to see to where she takes USCIS/DOS , if they dont reply to her.

Guys,
Happy to inform that on 89th and 90th day (respectively) both me and my wife got the CPO emails. We had filed on may 21st and had fingerprints taken on 6/11. You can find our details on the second post on this thread. Waiting eagerly for the cards now, hopefully 2 year.
Good luck to all of you!

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while
this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
I have seen tons of American citizen resumes with Fake experience. When we conducted background check, we found that a lot of companies they listed on thier resumes could not be found as their employer and a lot of people also fake on education saying they are from Harward etc..... This has become very common now locally. A lot of American people get JOBS ONLY through recomendations of friends or relatives and by word of mouth. They do not go through a stringent interview process. They will do everything possible to keep their jobs and get jobs in an easy manner. The companies that hire people on h1b as employees or contractors actually look for "real" skilled workers so that they have a strong skill based workers.
Body shops want you to fake ur resume only when
(1) You want to get your wife a h1b placement through a body shop, who actually has no experience but you approach the body shop for filing ur spouse h1b
(2) You do Master's and want to get a placement through a body shop.
(3) Your skills are not marketable by body shopping requirements.
Body shops care for themselves. The kind of consulting jobs they deal with are jobs that require wierd skills and most times and thats why they get those requirements.
You can survive without faking resume if
(1) Keep trying hard for direct jobs and meet minimum standards
(2) Be competitive, try to crack the googles and microsofts multi layer interviews, go back to basics and learn and work hard
(3) If you are subject to cap - work around it. Look for options.
(4) Increase your skill base. Do projects at home on your laptop. Go to open source or google user groups and gain more knowledge.
Make a body shopper dependent on your skills. Get selected for a contract job without faking resume and then carry your body shopper to sign the corp to corp contract. You can keep your skill and update as well as do body shopping without faking resume.
So if you blame body shopping companies for the mess, it will directly feed into anti immigrants as they want reasons to get back into their lazy easy job lifestyle and get rid of the competitive H1bs.

We, the "aliens".
"Part of my frustration is to hear illegal immigrants called immigrants when I'm called an alien. I'm doing things right, but I'm still called an alien," ... "If I lose my job tomorrow, my reward is a ticket back home." Very true...
Most of my colleagues on L1/H1 visas went back upon completion of their 5/6 year terms, they never applied for GC. Couple of them are right now packing back.
The management of the company (not IT related) bravely decided to replace the "aliens" by american engineers. This proud decision had a disaterous consequence - our international based customers pulled back and found other contractors. Despite of all the money pumped to promote the "american" presence in the company, down-sizing is on its way and closure is on the horizon...
I was stupid enough to decide in 2003 to apply for a GC and to bear all this BS. Now working hard on plan B and waiting for the right moment.
Seriously considering plan B - Packing up.

I have a 11 pages PERM, where can I see in which category was certified. I don`t find any information. Please advice.
I think it is on Page 2 (Section H: Job opportunity information) --> Item # 4 = Education: minimum level required. If it is checked as "Masters" or "PHD" it is EB2, if not it is EB3.
This is my interpretation. It took my 3 months to get my job profile changed from Masters preffered to Masters Required. Hope this is what it is. I have been assured by my lawer it is EB2

I wish this was true, good to see your optimism. I am not trying to shoot you down, but all the numbers published and crunching says otherwise.
Do you have any formula/facts that you could share with us? Or is it just your hunch/intuitions?
Our only hope is recapture. We all need to unite and work towards one common goal.
I compltely agree with you..."We all need to unite and work towards one common goal."
We will need support from all our friends across all EBs...

Just a quick question to people who had their 485 approved.
Did any one of you have two different A#s (one on 140 and other on 485)?
I have two different A #s and in when I applied for AP and EAD, I had used the one on 485 and both were approved.

All these ideas have been debated several times before and there have been too many bills that didnt go anywhere. It's probably wiser to try to push the bills that have already been introduced than to push new ones and waste more time. ...
I have been active with IV even before you came here (since 2006) so don't question my sincerity. I do agree that my manner was too sarcastic and you seem like an overly sensitive kind of guy and you probably like things sugar coated-here it is-good idea, thought by many, several times before your eureka moment. Fact is- Bills (eventually they will all be merged ino one) are not likely to succeed till 2011,
...
It suits them to pretend to not undertsand the dfference. Think like them, it's their career and it's all business. Just remember it's usually never personal.
Do know that we are all going through same shit and are on the same team.
Yes I am well aware of previous attempts, and we all know how the system works. No one is being idealistic or naive.
Well trying to push existing bills is not a problem if they aren't screw**g us.
Have you seen my opposition to DREAM too? Its going to put illegals ahead of EB.
Also I feel it is my responsibility and all of ours not to burden this country's welfare and speak out against law breakers.
Maybe I should have renamed this - alternative to CIR, but I'm looking for other options too - like adding to DREAM and other bills that have a lot of support. We also need a phone campaign during lame duck session when up to 20 bills will be jammed in.
We are all well aware of the nuances of politics....... even a school kid in India knows a thing or two about deal making, corruption in politics.

Unintentional, might be, but you did ruffle this topic of US Master's vs US Non-Master's with this rather sad comment (warm spit!). I dont want to go much further into this either but talking about something that you obviously dont know (useless subjects 'assembly language programming'), you havent added any valule addition here either. (Just FYI, even during peak recession, ppl with ALP skills were really very few because most of the direct recruits from '6 month NIIT courses' werent upto system level programming).
And btw, if think that a 6 month course in NIIT with a degree in tier 3 university is going to help get a job during times of recession, then i dont know what to tell you.
Yes, i do have an MS degree from the US and i did suffer lay-off during recession - bounce back, i did really quickly while i saw few ppl that only had '6 month courses from NIIT' suffer for long times without a job because all they had to offer was that...their six month experience at NIIT!!
Btw, i do appreciate all the work that you do and all your postings too, but i felt that i had to give a riposte to something that i find insinuating and written without a whole lot of thought....
Why do we always equate some educational qualification from some institute to capability? Remember Einstein, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Cornegie, Rockefeller.... list goes on.

Hi All,
I think the reason that we do not have many members is that many people go to the website immigration voice and as the access is avaliable to read all posts without a log in and password they read and never want to become a member.
do u think this can be one of the reasons.
i am not sure just a thought.
thanks

Being a volunteer, I had a chance to meet most of the members of the core team and other selfless volunteers. I also met the staffs of three congressmen and attended the congressional reception as well. I'll cherish this memory forever, since not many will get this chance in their lifetime.
One of the memorable moment on a personal level is, I met two of my high school juniors after more than 15yrs. It was a great feeling.
Chandu I met you also near the U-Haul truck when returning things after capitol hill meeting......
