Sammy boy is the newest supreme court Judge. He won by a 58-42 vote. (well, there are some votes where all 100 senators do show up and vote).
Anyways, this clears the way for next items on Senate's agenda. Immigration is one of them. Unless the hearings on NSA wiretaps take too much time and energy out of the Senate Judiciary committee. Hopefully they wont come in the way of immigration reform.

I bought tickets from British airways last week (called them to find out they were non refundable). Wish this post had been posted earlier.........I agree with the author the questions they ask for a TV are hilarious. Maybe I will have some wonderful experiences worthy of a post. :)

We can raise the issue is that the govt does not want to address our plight as
1. We are not entitled to any benefits till we get our GC such as Social security, benefits etc though we pay taxes which inturn are used by US citizens
2. We contribute to the economy by buying goods etc so there is a dual intent to keep the foreigners here but not to give them GC/citizen ship asap

Well it is their country. We are serving through our volition.
We have an expectation, but in a free market it is demand and supply.
i am Not trying to be negative - just a reality check on where we stand and how we can approach.
It is a fact that immigration from Asia shot up at the turn of the millennium. This may look disproportionate to proponents of diversity.
Now 1/6th of the world population comes from one country. But the quota for Iceland and India remains the same.
Consequently many like us cannot: change employers, give up opportunities (lure of which we came here for) and wait for the same outcome that others achieve much faster, simply because they were born somewhere else or their employers & lawyer decided their immigration category. So much for free country and meritocracy.
i believe our main point should be a level playing field and transparent
system so that expectations are clear.
For those of us who have suffered due to lack of clarity, for all fairness, must lobby for a chance to parity after multiple (say 10) years of serving LEGALLY.

Look at this looser.. Don't have a job and typing such a long long prose stories get over his career failures and projecting his impotency as some else�s fault... This bloody racist is out of job because of his such a rude behavior... But we have a job... so it is waste of our time talk to this bloody...
Hey fool Hunter.... you are a bloody illegal in this country get out of here if you don�t know history ask your grand father. First do some thing about your illegal status and then talk about India. You are cultured less brut, I repeat cultured less brut. Its damn real that your youngsters are doing only three things drinking, sex, crime...
Thank you for admitting most of what I stated here true. Actually all of what I stated here as �skills� are based on my experience in IT management over the last decade. If you suddenly found my post to be stereo typing, you were blind to the stereotypes propagated in this forum for a long time.
You are wrong here. Do you know that companies like TCS/INFY/Wipro offer �blended rates� in the range of $20+/hr for keeping over 70% of staff offshore? Client directly benefits here. I have seen hypocritical companies that took tax benefits from local governments like cities and counties (which came at the expense of property taxes paid by residents of those localities) for job creation and then turned around and outsourced the very same jobs that they were supposed to create to TCS/Wipro/INFY etc., often dismissing the existing contractor pool/employees which involved people of all nationalities including H1-b workers like �TN Man� who couldn�t compete with the $30+ rates for the on-shore workers even if something was available from these vendors. Now to dump people at $30/hr rate, even though talent is locally available - like "TN Man", these vendors will abuse H1 and L1 by securing as many of these visas as they can( which were intended to bring the best and the brightest for american companies), causing Bill Gates to advocate for unlimited H1-bs when in reality, what he needs is a few thousand H1-bs which should be available in normal circumstances, had these companies not been poaching those visas.
So these offshore companies circumvented the prevailing wages through an industrial practice that should be considered �dumping�, where they dumped green-horns for the greedy clients, because the green-horns don�t have to go through any interviews in exchange of the very low rates. In this case, the people dismissed from the company/contractors were a lot more skilled, yet managers like me would be forced to start from scratch with the new pool, often resulting in delays for strategic initiatives at these companies, but the bean counters at the top never care, since their horizon is the next quarterly earning release, not what the company would do 2 years down the line (and some of these companies are the culprits behind financial crisis today with their very myopic thinking, just a sample was illustrated above)
The only jobs that were created in those localities due to such corporations in exchange for tax credits often were Indian Grocery shops opening in that locality to cater to those folks from offshore vendors. :D BTW, I don't have anything against them, I like Indian food.
I have worked with companies where I managed a 50+ member team to execute a project which at another company employing local workforce may have been done with a 12-15 person team (I have managed it both ways and hence I know that as a fact). Now the company employing the 50+ member team will often massage the numbers to show that they saved $x differential per person* 50 for the bean counters and would have secured bonuses for the higher ups because of those paper savings.
Now I think as a result of people like me interacting with US law-makers, they are getting the true picture of the abuse going on with the current processes. I understand many of you here are concerned about your own career and eventually settling in US, but once you become a permanent resident or US Citizen, you are going to face the same realities. I have seen Indian-americans who went through the GC/Citizenship process becoming some of the the fiercest critics of the current system, because (like "TN Man"), their livelihoods also are threatened by the current process. They suddenly understand that it has nothing to do with the so-called "skill" or "talent" shortage, it has everything to do with what your hourly billing rate is.

I agree with you pappu... That's the point i was trying to make as well.
If this information exists in their system, and if all IO's make it transparent to the caller in the first call itself, i am sure the call volume will drop to atleast one tenth of what it is currently... and subsequently, the congressman requests, ombudsman requests will also reduce which inturn WOULD MEAN THAT THEY GET TO FOCUS MORE ON THE CASES AND IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCTIVITY AS WELL AS COMPETENCE!!!

Pappu, what do you mean by "this may have delayed your greencard since July"? What is his mistake? I too have been trying all means since mid Aug. Is there something wrong with that?
Let me give you an example and you would understand my point. USCIS Customer Services Directorate received 16 million calls from the public and 300,000 from Members of Congress. Add to it, all other items people do to get attention for their case and think that by sending an email or a phone call from Senator or by a lawyer, the officer will realize his mistake and quickly open the file and approve it. If you look at the responses people post to their inquiries, you would see that most responses are standard. USCIS is not just approving 140K greencards but more than a million greencards, hundreds of thousands of H1 and other visa types, EADs etc...every year. Greencards do not get issued on the day date gets current. It is not a automatic process. There is lot of human work involved and many people do not understand that or spend time understanding it. They would rather waste their time either on useless task of tracking or calling customer service every single day.

I do not have any number in Beneficiary box.
Does that mean I do not have an A#?
Is this an issue?

I have a couple of issues guys and need your advise:
1. I have a valid H1b visa stamped on passport till June 2007. I and my spouse have EAD and AP as well. Upon my return from India in Dec 2006 the Immigration Officer at the POE did not let us use our h visas, H1 for me and H4 for my spouse and instead asked us to use AP to enter into USA and he stamped my AP and the I-94 showing my entrance as Parole and valid till Jan 22, 2007 ( My AP was valid till that date only). He said that I am not cancelling your h1. What does it mean? Am I no longer on H1 visa? What would happen after Jan 22, 2007 when my parole expires? I have filed for a new AP though but have not recieved it so far.
2. My and my spouse's EAD is expiring on Jan 22, 2007. We filed for the EADs in Nov and waiting for it. In the mean time we got a notice for finger prints. After the finger prints, our notices were stamped with the date on it. The stamp reads as "LIFE ACT PROCESSING STAMP" where as on all the previous occassions of finger printing, the stamp would read as " BIOMETRICS PROCESSING STAMP". Moreover as I have registered on line to check the status of my petitions, usually after the finger prints the date used to change when some thing happens to one's file like getting the finger printing done etc. but this time nothing changed and the date is showing up the same when I initially submitted my application.
Any Idea about this folks??? Time is running out for me.

my spouse and i are july 2 filers. our checks got cashed yesterday. the lawyer emailed us all the reciept numbers. however, when i check the status online, it says that "our applications were recieved on october 2nd". our laywer tells us that this is not accurate and once the actual reciepts get to her, she will confirm. we are hoping that oct 2 is just the notice date and they have 2 july as the actual date!
will update once i have all the reciepts.

Seems like there might be an internal memo or understanding between USCIS and DOS not to approve many Eb2 India 485 even though there dates are current, this is the only explanation I can come up for the lack for eb2 india approvals in October. Even with the limited number of visas every quarter I was hoping there would be lot of approvals because of Visa spillover occuring every quarter instead of once every year, but looking at the USCIS performance in the first week of october it seems like there wont be any quarterly spillover at all.
Correct me if I am wrong but to my knowledge quaterly spill overs if any would be in the last month of the quater which should be in Dec 2009

The moment I get sufficient number of people I am going all out.
But as a compromise, I have got a very simple and easy way out...I can tell you one thing, I do have a case which does not require any law change but just the interpretation of it.
Make sure that 5882 is successful. If it proceeds, I will back down. It is a shame that among 25K members raising 5K becomes a challenge.
This goes on to show there is no community. If there is not community then I have to look after my interest.
