Thanks. I missed you. I think I should have seen you but can't remember. Since morning at least 10 people who i have talked to from Tri-State area asked me if I know where is chanduv23? they just wanted to see the great motivator like you. Please point me to the picture where I can find you. Your posts on the IV forum have been an inspiration for lot of folks. It takes people like you to form a group of wonderful hardworking folks.
Oh Dude, I am in a lot of pics - I will point u to one hang on :) - actually if u look at Sheela Murthy's website, I am behind her when she was giving her speech and I was also behind Aman Kapoor holding the flag when he was giving his pre rally speech - So it is easy to figure out :)

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.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong

At the outset, I fully sympathize with ur situation. It is just a pathetic state of affair and very unfortunate. It eats my heart out to see that future of our aged out children in the USA is affected by the stupid immigration rules and hence affecting their lives and career.
Having said that, if you are looking for IV or Core to do something about it, I would like u to consider few things:
a) IV is purely made up of volunteers and whatever any time we can get after a day long work or taking care of family matters , we dedicate to IV matters.
b) This implies, the issues that concern most of the people are generally taken on priority. Moreover, the unfortunate truth is that there is also self interest involved. Everyone is a victim here and would like to further self cause over other. If the self cause of majority is aligned, that makes into the agenda. After all, after lots of efforts if you get to meet any lawmaker just once for 15 minutes , which agenda would you push for?
Having said that I would recommend you to form a group to lobby your cause. I am sure IV will lend it support to let it run its banner. But the strategy, labor and money would be coming from the victims.
I have been continuously requesting in my previous postings that CORE Team should take up the issue of sufferings of children who have turned 21 and who could not file 485 applications due to visa retrogression. I do appreciate that this may not impact a large number of our members and CORE is committing its recourses for a much wider issue of over all visa number increase. However, getting visa number increased is a big effort and in current environment may not be achieved. However, getting CSPA amended may not e that much a big deal and if CORE team starts working on it, we may see positive result. As such, I again request CORE team members to take up this issue. I am prepared to lend my support in whatever way I can and I am sure there would be many other members who will be willing to do the same.

Congrats. Did you do anything special - SR, Senator office, Infopass?
No. Last year we had an RFE as my wife's medicals were missing a signature. As Pappu mentioned in another thread most of them were pre approved and were waiting on visa numbers I think.

The net result of this bill in its current state would be that Mr Bright wouldn't be found, he/she would be lost trying to maintain his status. As a fact America would no longer be competitive.
If you're really bright Microsoft, Oracle will still hire you.
I can tell you that if you have good communication skills getting hired here it's not a problem, in fact they won't even ask you if you're not a US citizen until the end.
I'm from a country in the Americas and I can say that most of the time there are limit for foreigners working in a company.
So its not unreasonable to put some limits.

There are tens of thousands from retrogressed countries who have been stuck for more than 8 years (PD 01 and 02). Most of us were either stuck in namecheck or BEC blackhole through no fault or ours. Still there are others who were screwed by employers and had to reapply labor and restart the GC process. When i talk to my congressman, all they say is that the PD is not current and they cannot help.
Great point! When I reach out to the Congressman's office, none of them are aware of the inefficiencies of the last few years that has resulted in the current backlog of AOS for folks from India, China etc. For example, my case was stuck in the BEC blackhole (transferred over just when it was about to be processed by State office) for well over 3 years when there were a significant number of Green cards available. However being in EB-3 India category, the dates today are not current even for my PD of Dec 02. Unfortunately, the Congressman's aides are only aware of current status and claim helplessness to do anything until the dates progress. Given this, we really need to talk to senior officials/ Congressional Sub-Committe members who are a little more aware of the details and understand the significant waste in the past that has led to current status.
Totoro, any suggestions to overcome this issue would be welcome. Great job btw - keep it up!

Why do I get a feeling you are incapable of digesting the concept of "Law of the land". There are certain rules that govern PR & Citizenship statuses ( of all countries)and only land mark & ground breaking edicts can alter such law�s , and that too very slightly. To put it were tersely "this is a bullshit suggestion" and is really wasting the purpose of this forum. The only reason so many people have responded is that it is "THAT RIDICULOUS"
That's a baseless comment. The law change of 5 yr req. after GC to 3 yr req. after GC for citizenship is procedurally same as any other law change including law change for increased visa numbers for GC. It is not like a change in constitution.
Which law change is easy or hard is an unknown. It depends on the current lawmakers and lobbies.
Having said that I agree EB GC issues are more pressing right now than to try and reduce citizenship wait times

Hello friends,
My birth certificate has the following information
date of birth, Mothers name, fathers name, place of birth. It does not have my name and i am from India. Is it ok.. or should i get one with name.
My PD is not current but i am getting ready with all the documents, just in case it gets current.
I am in the same situation. My attorney advised me to have one with my name if possible. I scanned mine and my wife's Birth certificate and sent it to my Dad in India. He said that he will get the original in 2 days. Looks like it is a straight forward process. You could just send it with a copy of ur passport.
P.S: They would need the copies to be notarized before taking it to corporation or municipality

I predict that the EB3 and EB2 cutoff dates for India will reach close to each other with in next one year. At the worst, the differnce between EB2 qnd EB3 cutoff dates may be maximum of one year.

My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?
:mad: :mad:
did your company receive the 45 day letter that they sent for all BEC cases.
did they give the letter to you , it might have been possible that either they did'nt receive the letter completely or they might be with-holding information from you
what does your case status say
you must have seen that i am waiting since the last 10 years, since their processing is so random that there's nothing that you can do . The worst thing that you can do is feel bitter about others who are getting benefited.
you have to fell happy for others that they are able to get out of the un-desirable situation that all of us are in.

Stupid thought: can USCIS sell spillover visas at premium (say $5k or $10k) rather than distributing them in a socialistic way :D .. even @ $5k, USCIS will gain $200 million in 2010 itself :) And this selling be based purely on Priority Date, neither on the category of EB nor on country. Purely Priority-Date based - just straight out to tackle retrogression overall.

On a related note, free riders may not be checking this forum. The title says that this is of no interest to them.
I agree, titles like "H4 to H1", "Changing Employers", "Urgent question" etc. etc. will obviously be visited more.
May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.
