let us not forget in that case the British were on Indian soil, here we are doing Gandhigiri in another
country ON THEIR SOIL!!
I have read Gandhi's autobiography. He clearly explains that he first tried and succeeded using his manthra of passive resistance in South Africa against appalling treatment of Indian workers. They were on 'H1B' in South Africa and were treated worse than stray dogs. Gandhi fought against that and had some success.
So the idea of passive resistance DOES work in a foreign land. We are fighting against injustice. Even H1B folks have some fundamental human rights, whether we are in a foreign country or not.

Dear sgorla,
We will all miss you since you are leaving for India soon. It seems that you have figured it all out and know what India needs. Now the next step is, you need to go there to create "Transparent Government", "clean drinking water", "roads" AND "change attitudes", oh! Last one is a biggee. Changing attitudes starts with the person preaching it
Be the change you wish to see in the world ~ Mahatma Gandhi
If we cannot focus on the issues at hand but expect others will do it or IV core will pay from their pocket, then how is your assertion about changing attitudes different from your behavior. No offense meant, I am just trying to understand. Changing attitudes starts with each one of us, not just by talking or writing it for others to follow.
Now let’s get back to real problem at hand. What is the $ rate to Rs. today? I do not want to waste my time going to finance.yahoo.com. Let’s make Iv a one stop shop for all our needs.
Very well said, nozerd. Indians may keep dreaming about INR gaining value against USD. It might actually happen at some point of time, but without the proper infrastructure that it needs, its going nowhere in my opinion.
What India needs is
Transparent Government without any trace of corruption atleast in regular day-to-day life
Clean drinking water, un-interrupted power supply
Roads and neighborhoods without trash pile ups
Change of people's attitude that Govt should do everything for them, but without having to have pay taxes, fee etc.

To make an impact, we need in the order of 50,000 to 100,000 letters with their personal US address on it. Anything less doesn't hold any water..
From what I remember, when we wrote to President Bush, only 5000 letters were sent.
I dont think a number like 50,000 could ever be reached.

maybe we need to have a counter on the main page...
which shows member strength..
don't worry, the republican minority in the house has no power whatsoever. A simple majority is what it takes to pass a bill in the house and the Dems have more than a simple majority (50% + 1).
Only the senators can call for a fillibuster.

I think once the application is pre-adjudicated...that's it!! I don't believe USCIS will spend anymore time and resources to these applications again...until a visa number is available from DOS and they apply the number to the pre-adjudicated application....my 2 cents! I agree with what you say BUT they may open the file again (to verify certain things and not just assign it a visa) once the visa number is available (I guess that is what you are trying to say) ..is that right ?
BTW - I have not read the memo in detail ...it is a waste of time
I guess the 64,000 dollar question is - how to find out if your case is pre-adjudicated ?
in summary - it is a big big muddy and dirty mess ..no wonder the right word is that the system is broken and very less immediate hope for EB-India / China

I think it is individual decision to go back to home country or not. But taking a global look - We Indian make more money here. Average salary of Indian is $65,000+. We can save more. We get more comfortable life style. Only problem is GC, H1-B.
I hope you will not be surprised that many of us have gone back and started our own company and are successful.

I have sent another email to the editor. Although they have provided an "Amplification" section under this article that says that the item wasn’t intended to imply high-skilled workers are illegal immigrants, the paragraph in which they report the poll result on illegal immigration went under the bold heading "High-Tech Employers". They should either correct this paragraph to exclude any mention of illegal immigration or change the bold heading to a more appropriate general heading on immigration issues.
To their credit, the editor has added a comment for further reading on the legal limbo faced by foreign-born scientists from a page one story written last year.

If u guys are staying in an apt make sure u have both urs and ur wifes names on the letter box, since the EAD comes with a return service requested seal on it, if ur wifes name does not show up on the letter box there are chances that it would be returned to USCIS. this happened to me.
Best of luck.

My company lawyer addressed this part. The way it works is that they will work on your file only when your PD is current. So even if you apply now, they most likely wont work on it after July as your PD wont be current. Then when next time (say in Jan 2008) when your PD becomes current, they will pick up all the files for that month and start working on it. It might be that they will work on your file on Jan1st or Jan 31st. You can send your wife AOS the moment your PD becomes current. So you want to make sure that it reaches there before they approve your AOS. In case you are extremely unlucky, then they would start working on your file on 1st day of the month and finish it before end of that day, making it impossible for your wife's application to go through. Thats rare though. So if you can make sure that her app reaches on 1st day of the month in which PD is current, then they should most likely add her to your AOS and work on those together and make your life go forward....its a chance which you will be taking...But again life is a chance
If you are single and are in a position not to get married b4 August 17th please think b4 applying for 485. It is of no use to you unless you want to switch jobs on EAD which is a HUGE RISK!!My guess is you are going to get married at some point of time(Barring guys who are already in their midlife crisis b4 marriage) and would apply for your wife's Adjustment of Status. Please apply 485 togather when the PD bcomes current again. Bear in mind that even if you apply now b4 marriage you have to maintain your H1-B status. It will only make it worse when one had already applied for I-485 coz you could only get 1 year extensions as opposed to 3 years when you have an approved I-140 and have not filed for 485. Don't get overzealous and apply now and regret later!!
gunsnkars/raj2078 or anybody,
Can you please read Raj3078's response earlier in the thread and then your suggestion? As I understood them they are mutually exclusive things. One is apply for 485 and one is wait. I want to know one thing among other things.
Is the ONLY benefit for applying 485 , for me, is to get EAD? I mean, if I don't apply for AOS now, I am assured that me and my spouse can file together when PD becomes current and they will approve ONLY if my PD is current. Isn't that right? That could be five years away, but, my spouse will be able to piggyback on my GC processing.
Please remember that my fiancee is already on H1-B currently in India. I am from India too.
Thank you,

Reading the article I see that Neelima is, in fact, a US citizen of indian origin; not even an H1-B or GC. So lesson for us - getting a GC may be a convenience for us, but we are naive to think our troubles will end with it.Red neckers of the likes of Loo and his cronies arent suddenly going to accept us as one of them - rather, this is a life long struggle of the kind the african americans had to go through for centuries (and to some extent are still going through). Only wish ABCDs like Ron Hira realize that as well.
Yes you are right. We need patience till you get your GC...I know its hard but there is no other way but swallow that pride. Its very hard to do that..speaking of which this anti-indian guy who sits next to me at work was making life horrible for few weeks. Things are sorted out now... I have a great Manager.
I really feel sorry for Neelima's family... wish I could have helped them.

Are you sure that you would get back what ever you paid for the policy?. LIC in India is different story than western insurance companies.No Ins. company gives back what you paid on whole life, Please make sure how much you get back when policy matures.
Give me your insurance company/policy name ,I will tell you how much you are loosing on whole....?
thx

I find it hard to digest why would they mind if some one has been to India recently?
Does this argument apply just for the indians or does it apply to individual of any nationality?
Because, we (asian) still have eradicated Diseases in spread. This not is only applicable to India, for mjaority of Aisan countries too.
North America is worried about TB, Malaria and few other Diseases (which are still widely in asian countries)

Pappu,
I agree with all most all of your points except one. You talk about everybody being part of Core IV when you say "Now coming to your question about core team. Core team is nothing but people like you."
That simply cannot happen because then IV as a whole would be acting like a headless chicken. Everyone now a days seems to be starting a drive, throwing tantrums at fellow IVians etc. This has to stop as per most of passive members, it means directionlessness.
I've a suggestion. Let's ask our members, those who want to be the core. Let's restrict the core group membership to 20-25. If we get more responses, we can poll for the most favorite candidates on the forum. Similarly we can ask all of our members for the drives they want to support and poll for the drives. The most favorite five drives then become IV's drives. Most people will not work unless they are given clear instructions. The reason FOIA drive became successful was because it was coordinated well, gave a clear direction to the members and had a clear goal. That is why we raised more money than required for that drive. We need similar type of purposeful drives which will keep all of us motivated. The forum members may vote out a core team member, if they are dissatisfied, I mean we can employ all types of checks and balances for an efficient core team and an efficient drive system.
A ship can have thousands of oarsmen but it needs an able captain to take it to the shore. If you ask me, I'll vote for you as the captain. :)

I can understand the emotion and commotion among my fellow beings who are stuck with BECs. I waited agonizing 5 years to get my labor cleared. We all clearly understand what are you guys going through.
But the thing is that Labor Certification issues are taken care with PERM implementation. Also the administration set up 2 BECs to take care of them back logs. Now the issue is purely administrative and not law making. Also BECs made it clear that by Oct 2007 all the back logs will be cleared.
Right now big things are happening in the immigration law making. So I think we should concentrate to get the best out of it and achieve our goals on the Green Card Visa issues. As Tom Tancredo is going to fight with teeth and nail against Immi Bills, we have to do the same.
There are many others issues we can lobby for such as
1) Starting H1B stamping inside the US again( Which was stopped in 2005)
2) Allow H1B spouses to work. etc etc
But I believe our priority for the time being should be Retrogression. I request all of you to use this thread for finding a person to testify.
thanks
