So far, there is no provision of 485 filing without priority date becoming current. Has this failed too? Just two weeks before Feb. 15th. I guess the fate of this provision is determined now.
It seems that nothing can happen before Feb. 15th. Even the H1 increase has not happened yet. Democrats do not seem to be immigration-friendly as many expected before. No hope for CIR this year. No hope for SKIL this year. What a miserable situation!
Do not say that you want to see I-485 filling being applied to some bill.
I said the same thing and people came after me saying that I should stop asking about I-485 provision fate.
I never ever asked, I was just eager to see it as IV had mentioned.
I guess people have mis understood by words.

I refuse to get caughtup in the consumerism. Why a family of 3 or 4 needs 2000 sqft of living area? The quality of living is not the top most priority for me. What I need is more important. When I am happy with a small car, why should I go buy a SUV?
Instead of paying 2000$ a month for mortgage for a big house which would consume most of my time as well, I can pay 1200$ month in rent , use the money to have some flexibility in what I want to do and use the extra time to read a book.
One thing I noticed is people will just keep running in circles regardless of how much they make . They have expenses in proportion to their incomes and they are in a way slaves of their lifestyles.
Slumdog has an illusion that "Quality of life" comes if you buy and live in a big house.
Peace of mind is biggest part of having a good quality of life.
You can RENT a place and have excellent quality of life.

so here is a generic friendly email that can be sent out to your friends or to anyone who is interested. please feel free to edit:
Immigration Voice is a non-profit organization that is trying to help people like me stuck in the green card mess, and is trying to raise awareness and membership. Membership is FREE and takes a minute.
Please take a moment to register on their site at:
http://immigrationvoice.org/
Scroll to the left margin halfway down to register.
Please be assured you will get NO spam mail.
What does this do for you?
1. First, you get a warm feeling in your heart because you are helping half a million people simply by registering, since we lobby senators and congressmen by telling them how many registered members are interested in pushing our bills. Numbers count with lawmakers.
2. You will learn enough about immigration issues to qualify as a paralegal simply from reading the forum. Option for a second career for you.
3. You have the opportunity to write off any charitable contributions, should you decide to make them to IV.
4. Your economy, and consequently Social Security system, Medicare, Medicaid and city is better off for helping legal, tax-paying and high-skilled people like us to stay on in your country. Special benefit for baby boomers who will retire shortly and fear the SS system will end. It will not since immigrants are a large source of revenue for this system, and none of us can avail of these benefits, so we will help support you in your old age.
Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be even remotely interested, including journalists, lawmakers, attorneys, businesses and of course individuals.
thanks in advance for registering (FREE) on our site.
Might want to confirm the charitable contribution bit. I don't think IV qualifies as a charitable organization.

For comment 2: Since you are giving IV address, you can use IV's name and request to check reference of the sheets which contains name,case....etc.
Comment 1: Actually, I dont know if I should use IV address, and the way I wrote at the top on the letter is the right way. And if so what exactly should we use, just the URL?
Comment 2: The sheets/sign-offs are from people with 'Pending Audit' Audit status, it might be a good idea to somehow describe that in the letter or put it at the bottom. I am not sure how do we tell that these people signed the letter. Do you get my point?
For case number, I already asked the same question to Ron and posted the reply. He believes, if there is no case number and there wont be any weightage or immportance.
I agree but I think we should leave it up to the people, whoever wants to provide its up to them.

Says who?
How do you know that US masters degree dont need to work for consulting firms?
Do US masters degree holders work for Deloitte? IBM Global Services? Accenture? KPMG? Price Water House Coopers?
What about Oracle consulting services? What about TRW? Bearingpoint?
All these are consulting companies or the divisions of consulting companies. Both US degree holders and the non-US degree holding duffers like myself work in consulting firms(I dont anymore since 2003). In fact, I have had my classmates from India have to look for consulting jobs after they did MS in computer science from USA.
You are under the impression that the bill is outlawing desi consulting firms and firms that exploit.
The bill outlaws OUTPLACEMENT. And the bill applies to all firms, desi firms and the big 5 consulting firms and your IBM, TRW ... everyone.
Please read the bill and read the description in the first post.
And although I am the last one to engage in US-degree versus non-US degree and Masters Versus Non-Masters fueds, I am tempted to say that US masters or US degree isnt worth a bucket of warm spit when the market is bad.
When the market is really bad, like it was in 2001 and 2002, I have seen many Masters degree holders pack up and throw in the towel and I have seen many individuals with degrees from private Tier 3 university from India survive just fine in an environment where there were 80 resumes for each IT job. The US masters degree holders, particularly with computer masters degrees with their courses in useless subjects like "assembly level programming" and their binary math didnt do squat for them while looking for jobs during recession times and could not stand competition from bachelor's degree holders from Tier 3 university from India who had done 6 month course in NIIT.
However if you are proud of your US degree and US masters, suit yourself. But dont say things like "I dont need consulting". Coz you really do and so do thousands of others having US degrees.
This H1B drama has really brought out the "indian" in each one of us (you). God Forbid, some of the anti-immigrant agencies see this, we will no face to fight.
To say something like what logiclife has said only brings out the true face of the some people behind immigrationvoice.org. It all boils down to "who has a US degree and who hasnt"..well, Mr logiclife, You dont know the value of a US degree simply because you dont have one! I want my GC as much as some people here without a US degree, but to classify a US degree as being the same as "warm spit" is just plain "uneducated". Now, I really appreciate all that immigrationvoice.org is doing for our community, but some of the these stupid racist comments from the so-called administartors,with such an attitude,who happen to meet the US lawmakers scares me a lot.

the quality of students in tier two or three universities in US and India are more or less on par but for the methodology.Also I do not see any logic in the argument for a direct comparison between Indian educated and US educated unless they have graduated from a top tier (i mean the top 10%) as the seletion process in these institutes are the only ones which is based on the academic calibre and intellectual profile of the candidate rather than a lowered stipend or willingness to spend long hrs in the lab, which a prof must consider while admitting a student for a graduate program in US ....superior written and communication skills can be easily acquired by adaptation to the new environment. However I have seen many Indian educated professionals adapting much faster than many of my US educated friends
I will back you up on this:)
Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.

I can't stop thinking of our efforts in DC. As I have already posted, it was a tremendous experience being a part of such campaign. I came upon this thread of adding more members to IV and from what I read, it was successful largely. IV has increased members from 10,000 to over 40,000 since this thread was started.
I am bringing back this thread again, asking our members to get more involved in their state chapters and to encourage our current membership to be more active in the forums and action items. We, who participated in the DC event, can hold conference calls (if our members are separated widely across the state) or meet in local libraries (if many of our members are in the same city) and talk of our experience in DC and what needs to be done ahead.
Fellow participants, please do come up with suggestions on how to keep the momentum going.........
Agree. We need more members, more participation.

This Bill will help ALL people, not only the people who have an advanced degree from US!. With the addtion 55k, the people who have an advanced degree will get the green card immediately. Then, they will be out of the queue. Then all the existing anual visa quato will be allocated to the guys who don't have the advanced degree. This is a great bill for all EB forks. If this bill can be passed, the EB2 will be current . and EB3 will be current in two years. some people just didn't get it.
I might be wrong, but I read somewhere that these numbers would go to those working in math or science related fields AND who had graduated with a related degree in the last 5 years.
Again, I'm not 100% on it, just wanted to check if anyone else heard the same.

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.

I applied for 10 years passport extension ( old one issued from india) on March 05.2008 by Fedex. CGI Houston received it on March 06. Couldn't contact consulate employees as no one picks up the phone.
So went today to CGI Houston to check the status personally.
Checked with mail room and came to know that they had posted the passport yesterday. I received it in Fedex today. CGI mail room even provided me Fedex tracking number.
Old passport issued from : India
CGI received date: March-06-2008
Completed processing: April-12-2008
Fedexed the passport : April 16, 2008
Received new passport: April 17,2008
CGI Mail room keeps track of the passport status. They can lookup the applicant name and find the status.

I am not sure if you still need people call to the CHC. I think you need to make Hispanic call a lot. I will be glad to transmit this information but I am not sure if this bill already passes yesterday. You probably know the philosophy about why they do not want support this bill but if they realized that besides non legal residents, there are a lot of Hispanic people looking for GC throug H1Bs, and they are suffering as many of us, they can change their minds......You should contact other members of IV who are Hispanics and make them to spread the voice.....Let me know if we need more calls.......
