I hate to disappoint you but there have been several instances of highly qualified IT professionals living in the US for a number of years who decide to jump the bandwagon and migrate to Canada due to the GC limbo. What happened to them ? Well some of them struggled to get the right jobs for a number of years before giving up, returning to India and finally taking up highly paid and respected IT middle or senior management positions.
Three of my friends went through such "stressful" experiences and now are happily working back in India. They still regret the decision to put their valuable $$$ into migrating to Canada, living in limbo for a few years while trying to get a compatible job in India and finally going back to India.
It is very unfortunate that people equate job opportunities to the population of the country. If that were the case then India and China would have the most job opportunities in the world because they account for one third of the world population but that's not really the case otherwise we all would't be here in the first place.
Opportunities are defined and provided by the economy. When you compare Canada to US, you might say that it's a smaller economy but remember Canada is a G8 country with such a strong economy that most other countries in the world can only dream of. US is the richest country in the world with the strongest economy so obviously other countries don't offer quite the same opportunities but Canada offers things that has become a dream for many of us... to be a citizen of the country where to permanently reside. Canada offers stability, certainty, hope for the future, and and an opportunity for everyone in your family to realilze their dreams as opposed to sitting at home for years doing nothing hoping that one day that EAD will come. Canada respects immigrants and welcomes them with an open arm quite contrary to policies in US where you are allowed to work but your family is not and even you are kept on the state of limbo for years and years wondering what your future holds in years to come. And better yet, you abide by the laws, pay taxes, do everything by the book yet the guy who just walked across the border has much better chances of becoming a permanent resident than you. Where is the respect and fairness for law abiding folks? That my friend is what is different with Canada. You get treated with respect and dignity and you get to decide what your future holds and not the US government.
Good Luck to you all.

it might seem like eb2 has moved.. and it has from last month...but this is where we were at in april 2006 (may2006 bulletin -1st jan 2003) before the dates stagnated for a cupl of months, became unavailable and finally moved backwards in october.
so basically no movement for 7 months.
This is true but I was fearing worse. It could have remained at Jun 01.

Thanks unitednations,
The information was very helpful for me and others as well.
I think my education evaluation and MCA degree doesn't specifically state that my Master's degree was a three year degree course.
I now have a letter from University stating that it was a three year degree course and we are going for a fresh education evaluation.
I think the lessons learned here is to make sure that the degree and/or EE should clearly state the duration of course.
Any other suggestion or past success is highly appreciated.
Also, my RFE respond date is April 22, 2011 and not March 22nd as mentioned in my orginal post.
I also have a 3 year Bachelor's degree (BSc Physics) + 3 Year masters degree (MCA) from India. I would like to get it evaluated. Could you please let me know which education evaluation agency you used?
Is you bachelor and master degree in the same or related discipline? I read somewhere that the bachelors and master's will have to be in the same or related fields for it to be considered equivalent to US Masters degree.

As usual you twisted my point to make it out that I dont have any "cultural values," as you define it.
I think chandu and paskal in their subsequent msgs got my point exactly that we should promote happy <festival> of all regions/traditions rather than focusing on the majority one.
That would promote IV's agenda rather than distract from it.
Its people like you with your misguided "cultural values" that are the cause of problems around the world. You are like the Indian version of ALIPAC.
Happy Diwali to you.:)

Hi Guys,
I think while choosing a candidate for representing before Congress, we need to also ensure that the person is articulate, eloquent and able to put our point effectively across to the other side.
Being from the tech field myself, I encounter a lot of highly intelligent people who do not seem to have adequate communication skills which is a huge drawback.
So, just a note to the moderators, when we do select a candidate, please ensure that either they are given adequate training in public speaking (for example ) or they are paired with a person armed with those skills. Not all of us posess the finesse and suave necessary to impress such an audience and it is imperative that we acknowledge the fact that the person we choose purely on merit might need some assistance while conveying his/her points across.
My 2 cents..

There are people from India with PD 2005 whose I-485's have been approved lately.
It wont happen again. after encashing I485 checks USICS will start I140 PP again to keep cashing money. once I140 backlog will be done then they will earn from EAD renewals.
Enjoy EAD..........

So that we get enough attention... I wrote one awhile back, still no luck.
Instead of writing individual letters, we should approach through appropriate channels like some lawyers, AILA etc. Not sure though.

One question i have and many others like me would be interested in knowing is a clear description on how the money collected will be spent. I understand by reading your posts that it will be totally transparent and will be detailed out every week. But its more important for people to know before hand on how and why money is needed, before they can open up their purses generously.
US-Alien,
We have posted several times that we need the money to hire a lobbyist. We got some financial quotes: it will cost up to $100K to hire a lobbyist for 4 months.
Why do we need a lobbyist:
1. We can meet Congressmen's staff on our own but it would be difficult to get appointments. Lobbyists tend to be former Congressmen or staffers with connections who can help to get apppointments.
2. With the S.1932 debacle, last minute deals were cut and the immigration provisions were removed from the conference report of the Senate and the House. We need someone who can use their contacts and find out what is going on with the bill that has our provisions in it. We need to make sure that our stuff doesn't get thrown out in another backdoor deal. During S.1932 we never got to the actual Congressmen or Senators to plead our case.
3. We need someone to tell us what exactly to tell Congressmen. We were saying all along that we need green cards because we can't buy houses, can't get promoted etc. But the one lobbyist pointed out that Congress would be much more receptive if we said we wanted to immigrate and the delay in green cards was holding up our immigration.
Does this make sense?
Please post and let me know.
I can understand that people want their money to be used effectively. But please also realize that in the bigger scheme of things, $100 is the average cable bill for 2 months. Even if we don't succeed, it is a far better use of my money than cable.
