the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.
Kartik, as long as we, the EB3 do not come forward and collect huge amount for lobbying, we will continue to lurk here for many more years.
Unfortunately the sad part is, whatever lobbying is done actually helped only EB2 I, may be due to a wrong notion by USCIS that all Hi-tech immigrants are EB2. This could be a fact as there are thousands of 245 cases that fell into EB3.
Another bad thing was that USCIS release this VB yesterday which means one extra day to CRY.
I do not blame any one, but ourselves. We do not want to spend money and hence dying in this process. No solution, but cry at every VB day.

of course they will accept them
and they will accept your 485 and AP and EAD...
as long as they can cash the checks.
the law has not changed, no one can presume what will happen
it's just that we are the fools in this, spending thousands of dollars without any choice in the matter, and then in one sweep all of it will be laid waste and we will be starting again...
what's more, for the indians among us, with the merit system, when with 90 points on board you will have no assurance of ever getting a green card.
what a alife :-) :-( yeah both, i can't decide!!

The problem is not ingrained in the airline . Most of the Europeans would rather cut each other than talk to each other . I worked in germany which is also kind of like France and they hate the French more than anything else . I had a magazine in my hand and was looking at a nice picture of a French car , my German remarked , that is a very bad car because it is 'FRENCH'. Hundreds of years of war and strife have left the european countries little fortresses in themselves who have their own little language and culture . English is not accepted or frowned upon in most countries , because English is the language of the British and we are not British .
Air France being an international Airline should have known better . Air France needs India a lot lot more than India needs Air France . We have hundreads of Airlines Vying to ferry our passengers across the Atlantic and could very well do without Air France . By the way I also transited through Paris once and has issues with language . People in France speak in French even when they clearely see that the passanger does not understand French and has no clue to the happennings .
The French consultate in India should be get into this and provide a Government Apology to the matter at hand . The Indian Govt also kept quiet on the issue . India does not need diplomacy with France one bit . We have very little trade with them anyways .

- Some uphappy soul is so frustrated after the result of the recent elections that it is posting trash on these forums. You know who it is ;) Take a deep breath buddy and let the reality sink in.
- We are trying to teach you a lesson by not voting for you. lol :D yeah right.
- These anti-immigrant proponents were predicting a status-quo in the house by defeating any pro-immigrant candidate.
You can't win both ways. It just shows weak logic and confused head.:rolleyes:

Good to hear some good and not so good reviews about the immigration lawyers in this thread. One of the firms about which folks have written contradictory statements is Fragomen. Thay have been very responsive and professional in some cases but the user polulation in general has complained about their non responsiveness. They have advised their clients ( i.e the companies) about how the slow down the process for green cards for their employees. It has been seen in a multitude of cases that they have advised the companies of not filing for EB-2 cases and use the route that creates the most delays in GC processing thus maximing the revenues for themselves and helping the companies use GC processing as a tool for employee retention. They made employers to belive that letting the cases processed in BEC is the best option instead of capturing the PD's from the old cases to PERM. Now, several thousand of those cases are still languishing at BEC and no one seems to have an answer about what will happen to those after 17th August.Isn't that so so unfair......
Their practice can not be termed ethical and the employees need to highlight this issue with their senior management and HR. I was wondering if Immigration Voice can help those individuals by guiding them about appropriate steps to highlight the malpractice by Fragomen.

Well, one could argue that North Americans have access to the TN visa, which is kind of easier to apply. Similarly, the E visa for Australians as far as I know doesn't allow a dual intent;therefore the H visa still has an advantage over the Australian one.
Am I right ?
Why doesnt US govt allow H4 Visa holders to work like Australian Govt does??????
Rather than crying for shortage of Manpower they should utilize the talent already present in the country. Has someone every raised this issue with the senate? I dont think so....and I think there is no forum also to take it up.
This is a pure case of discrimination.
Please think and contrubute.

The country cap does make perfect sense for Family Immigration, you want a good mix of culture in the country.
BUT for Skill based immigration it makes no sense. It should be based on skill/qualification and NOT on country of birth. It is very similar to Indian caste based quota system, your piece of pie calculates right when you were born!
I do not agree with this country quota and hence $1k for LS from me, Pledged!
Of course, if successful it may/may not make much difference because of other retrogressed countries with long queue but cause is what makes the call.
2)
If a group is thinking about LS for USCIS inefficiencies between 2002-2004 and unused visa recapture, I pledge another $1k for the LS. If I remember correctly, Mark Bartosik was planning for such LS but in middle he got his GC, if someone still thinks along the same line, I would be happy to join.

One change I noticed.
Now people can continue in the old system if the I-140 was approved or pending before the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the the bill being enacted. So if the bill is passed right away, you need to have filed your I-140 before Oct 1 2007.

can you please post the article?
Thanks
Based on last week's BusinessWeek article, I have a feeling that we will see an effort to restrict initial H1B applications in some way. That would be a good opportunity to push for allowing naturalization applications for people who have been on work visas for a long time (say 8-10 yrs?). Fighting for citizenship would have a stronger emotional dimension and may connect better with the American public. A direct filing for citizenship will work around retrogression by providing an avenue for people to move out of the GC queue.

Couple of days back, I do differed with IV objective to persue only filing of I-485 by Feb 15. Also, one gentleman from this forum asked me to quit IV...
I am of the opinion that "Difference of opinion" to achieve goal is OK but not to loose UNITY...
I did not quit IV but today contributed IV because I beleive IV is fighting for Immigration issues/cause..
Amen...!!
Thanks. Our ultimate aim and big picture needs to be kept in mind and we try to pursue all options, all approaches and do every effort possible to get success. We all need to stick together and work harder. Positive energy from everyone also helps us all in moving forward.

It is 200% certain that the politicians will not touch the immigration topic in the next one year. Even after best efforts of the president the immigration bill failed in the senate few months ago.
One and only one thing that can be tried before Nov 2008 is the recapture of visa numbers from the last five years. I think IV should push for that.
Other than the above not much can happen, get ready for really long cold winter and then a looong hot summer. I wish things were better.

Swamy - You have posted a truly brilliant quote my friend. My contributions to Immigrationvoice will begin shortly. Good luck to us all and God bless.
I did sometime back.
Given thanksgiving is barely a week away, we can be certain of the usual platitudes directed at immigrants - this is a good time to remind the average American how far they have strayed from their roots and forgotten the true sentiment behind the tradition. Immigrants have always been hated and reviled by those that got here earlier - but the current anti-immigrant sentiment is vastly different in scale and sophistry due to the times we live in. If every IV member signs up 10 citizens to the immigrant cause, we should easily be 100,000 strong in a couple of weeks. It could be anyone from your advisor at school who mentored you to your buddies at work - even the stinkin relatives should be harassed. Though CIS and Numbersusa pretend that they are a product of the current anti-illegal sentiment, they started out much before the so-called 'wave' started. And they have adapted and honed their strategies very well to crush whatever relief Congress contemplates/passes. Consider the way CIS was initially dedicated to 'researching' immigrant issues that they would complain about the media's positive stories about immigrant contributions as merely anecdotal evidence not worthy of rebuttal. Now they are suddenly fond of anecdotal evidence themselves since experts began demolishing their claims of job-stealing and other baseless charges convincingly(esp CFR's Sebastian Mallaby) using empirical evidence-they shamelessly stoop to use someone's sob story to make their case. So, as repugnant as their motives are, they are too transparent for their own good- and they can't cover their tracks -which is good for us since we are appealing to the fair minded. Remember - every one in the US is an immigrant or an offspring of one. They have always been hated and reviled -so if someone who benefited from the immigrant tradition of this nation wants to turn around and deny it to those following him/her even though their ancestors did the same thing at a great emotional/economic cost to the then existing natives- they have a higher bar in explaining why the current bunch shouldn't continue to benefit from the great tradition-merely being bigoted but sophisticated enough to hide it isn't enough. so don't lose heart but dont sit on your ass either.

I disagree that this is a plan at the government level to make EB immigration on par with family based immigration.
Diversity is a cornerstone of the US immigration policy. It is present in both the main types of US immigration. You can argue about its merits and demerits, however when major immigration reform was debated and legislated in the 60s, diversity was set as a basis. The Diversity visa lottery speaks to this.
The H1b visa(with its absent country quotas), has now come into collision with an EB system which has these quotas. That is why we are seeing this mess.
