Can some one raise the curtain from Barmuda Triangle!
I can see SA 187 passed in Senate and it has text under section VI
The similar text can be also seen in SA 180 but its status is unknown

I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra-day trading.. you can do only routine trading (don't know exact term) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..
while on H1-B status, one can do intra day trading in stocks, options, and/or futures, he/she can NOT claim trader status on federal tax return. Person on EAD can claim trader status and claim some trading related expenses to save tax on it.

I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)

FYI we never use the terms like EB2 or EB3 in our meetings with lawmakers.
Let me tell one example:
If 2 of our kids are sick , we'll concentrate on both of them for their recovery.If one gets recovered we'll concentrate more on other kid.Now EB2 is in good shape and EB3 is not , now it's time to concentrate more on EB3.

However, Reid accused the GOP of standing in the way of immigration reform, noting that on Monday, Republicans blocked "the Senate's own bipartisan comprehensive reform plan from moving forward in Congress."
"After years of Bush Republican incompetence, our borders are unsecured, and our immigration system is broken. The Senate took a major step toward fixing our immigration system. Now, the president must convince his party to enact the comprehensive immigration reform our nation deserves," Reid said in a statement.

Totoro,
Thanks for responding., we appreciate it.
Good that you took it in the right spirit. All the efforts you are trying for us are inline with what even I wanted to do, but dont have as much access as you do. Search the forums with my id and you will see for yourself. To my knowledge there are very few who can do what you are doing. I wish Moderators and IV Core endorse your efforts in the form of a campaign and you will see much more participation. Look at the other drive they are doing for create a fund of $10000.00 If they endorse you (thats we) will get response in that order. Can you please ask Aman to do that, and that way we will have more voice.
All,
I am not sure if most of you guys even remember what my group said. We WILL contribute even $3500 and more, if there is a campaign for EB2 and EB3 and for guys waiting 5-10 years . Not sure why most of you, even senior guys(by join date, and not by # of posts) just rememer the $3500 part all the time with my name :) but miss what we said. Go n read it again.And if Core endorses does effort, I will not be surprised if there will be contribution from as much as 5000 members each of $100 on avg= $500,000. No kidding, thats the pain EB3 is facing.. Anyone to disagree??.
Gangutelli,
Gantuteli is real or fake.. similarly. Did you put all your details EXACTLY.. You know the answer.. Be little practical and have some profile that is like yours atleast.
Where were you before Jan 09..Didnt hear about IV before??.Flower campaign that hit the news.. You appear to be very emotional, with very less maturity.. Nothing personal, anyone here sees it.. check them yourself with a mature friend.I know you will post 1000 posts in the next 1 month. Tell me the secret how you get that much time(I am begging for few extra hrs in last 1 month), but only in case you have a job. Else we know.
And I said I will contribute $50 to FOIA campaign last week but did not send it yet. I will do it today. This is not in response to you Q reg contribution.. If you noticed, no one responds to your posts.
Did you create any new thread with some ideas, good or bad... Please respond to this last line, for sure..and if so, can you give me that link..
First try to contribute $25 before you talk about your groups contribution of thousands of dollars....Too much empty boasting.

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.

1. I'm happy for those who can file for I-485 now. good luck, file it soon. don't delay.
2. But for the other applicants who are struck in BEC from 2003/2004, we are with you and we will work with IV to address EB related GC issues. I know BEC set Sept 30, 2007 as final date to process pending labor applications and many cases are approved.
So wait and fight for few more months and then file I-140/485 concurrently. IV will keep these people in their mind and will work hard during CIR or strive bill discussion so that no restrictions are put on your application while filing I-140/485. our prayers are with you.
Since the dates are going to retrogress in next few months or so, we need to request USCIS & lawmakers to allow filing I-485 even if visa numbers are not current, exempt spouse & dependents from quota, remove hard country limit, and so on....

Personally this is what I think: we should ask Mr. Gotcher to help us on a pro bono basis as a favor. At the same time, let him know that we will collect contributions from willing members and all will go to him to cover his expenses. I suggest this for a couple of reasons. First, raising money can take time. And we don’t know how many are willing to contribute. We may be stuck here posting “come on guys we have $3k we need another $2k before anything gets done”. Also, I think a lot more people will be happy to put in their money when they see some actions and movements. This way work can get started soon.

Letting all this Indian Consulting Firms taking ALMOST all the H-1B visas is very unfair for everyone of us that we are working hard to get a job in the US. In my opinion, they are trying to monopolize all the H-1B so no other company can be able to hire foreign professionals by themself. In this way their only way to get professionals is thru them.
It is very UNFAIR that this consulting companies takes a large number, getting almost everything, of H-1B visas without having a real job for them. This companies will offer this H-1Bs to other companies, making it a big business. Additionally, I believe that indians also pays to this consulting companies for the H-1B.
Even if the congress raise the cap without making changes in the system, it will never be enough. It will just increase the profit of this consulting companies. I only hope that the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process. But realistics and effectives changes are needed.
Good luck for everyone who are in the H-1B lottery and really need it.
How do you know that this year quota finished on first day because of “Indian Companies”? Do you have any proof to support your blame? And what is ‘Indian consulting firms”? Why is it ok for one group of companies to file for H1 and not ok for another group of companies to file H1? Why is it “UNFAIR” for consulting companies to take large number of H1 quota? Isn’t H1 considered to be for the “best and the brightest”? Wouldn’t it make more useful for the “best and the brightest” to provide solutions to many companies at the same time by working for consulting companies? Why discriminate against consulting industry?
Here is some information that may help you gauge the reality. There is lot of companies in US that would not fit into your definition of ‘Indian Companies”. These companies have filed for large number of H1s that too would have finished the H1 quota. If it is ok for an H1 employee to work for a shoe making company, then why is it “UNFAIR” for H1 employee to work for a consulting company?
Bottom line is:
1.) There is green card backlog for 6-10 yr. Any company would love to get an insurance policy that an employee will work for them for that long period. So one reason for this quest for H1 is due to delays in green card processing. If someone gets their greencard in 1-2 yrs., H1 visa approval will not get the employers any insurance policy for long term employee. And the demand for H1 due to this factor would subside.
2.) More importantly, even if demand for H1 would subside due to green card processing in 1-2 yr, the fact that unemployment rate is very low will still exist. Unemployment rate is making it hard for companies to find the right people at the right time at the right place. So companies are looking for ways to recruit the necessary talent, wherever that talent is available. IEEE wants all foreign engineers out of the country so that their membership base of engineers here, who do not want to learn new technology, could get the taste of late 90s. So for you to first attack a set of consulting companies and then cheer around the bill hoping that “the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process.” is exactly how it is going to play out. Infact, anti-immigrants will come to this site and cut-paste comments like yours into their report to strengthen their argument when they would go out to lobby in favor of this bill. So Best of Luck for your ranting.
For the sake of clarity, I do not work for a consulting company. But I realize that this bill could potentially effect everybody on this forum. Also, I see a racist attitude in this bill against the huge consulting industry. And this negative attitude against consulting industry will have a snow ball effect into rest of the economy and society. I don't think IEEE took that into consideration.

2) Reinstate premium processing for I-140 (very urgent)
2) Preventing wastage and recapture of visa numbers (atleast atempt)
3) I cannot buy a house because of uncertainity
4) WE TEND TO SAVE MORE AND SPEND LESS WHEN THIS UNCERTAINITY PREVAILS. and lot of us have tremendous spending capability (cars, houses, tourism etc)
5) Canada and Europe needs me and lot of US educated/skilled people, so please USE us BETTER.

People are going to run after me for my comments but this is what i have to say.
Most of the visitors to IV take it for granted, they will come and see/search info and move on. No one is forcing them to pay a single penny for using a resource like IV. Its an attitude that someone will go to DC for ME, someone will pay the money for ME and if something happend I will also take benefit. Unfortunately thats what i see around.
Ideally we need to contribute - either by going to DC or by financial means. I did my part by contributing a few dollars(equals to 2 lunch outings for my family), cant force others but would expect people to do it one way or the other. Finally its our choice to do something for our own good or just keep sitting in a corner waiting for someone to do something for us.
Agree with indogokiwi and others. Whoever has consumed IV resources for anything like prediction thread or getting info from lawyers etc should chip in(dont get flamed, its just a request).
Since knowing of IV, I have contributed for these campaigns and will do in future too.
