In my opinion this is ridiculous... it is clear how they don't want to share the information by comming up with this!
I think you should forward this to The President! show him how open his offices are about sharing information under the Freedom of Information Act - i dont see how is this different then pay-per view on cable!
EDIT: F$%&ng ridiculous 5000$ to write a sql query... excuse my language

Or why not cover both aspects of H visa (H1 & H4). Both visas come with their own set of problems, challenges, and disappointments for the visa holders. Besides, H1 and H4 go hand in hand and story on one is not complete without mentioning the other. If I were the film maker, I would seriously consider both.
If you only talk about either one of these visas by themselves, you'll be looking at only the half of the picture.
have you considered making a film on H-1b workers and their frustrations in the gc porcess? that might be even more compelling than H-4 workers.
In a sense, H-1b holders are also dependent, on the employer, who is merciless compared with the the H-1 holder on whom the H-4 is dependent.

I do undersatnd that these companies did not help you.. y don't u understand that we r not talking about u :) the statistics r these companies bring tens of thousands here every year from one country, yes on H1 or L1, not to sponsor them for greencards, but arriving here with a dual intent visa that allows for greencard application is not such a casual opportunity and that's what I'm telling you is rarely available to the equally qualified non-retrogressed folks. Once here, those thousands transfer to these small/mid size companies u mentioned and choose to stay and apply for greencards even though they know that with their huge numbers current rules will make their greencard journey longer..
Yes adjusting the quota percentages should be on the table, but if these companies hurt you by creating a longer line than the quota allows, , then you should take issue with these companies before you take it at your fellow non-retrogressed immigrants.
Hello! Infosys, Wipro and all those companies are NOT the main sponsors of green cards, which is the reason we're in this forum, no? Most of the sponsors are US based small and medium sized companies.
I don't care how many visas they get, the fact is that it doesn't affect me! I neither have a job with them nor I benefited from them grabbing a bulk of visas. End of the day I'm held back because of where I was born.
Look, this may be hard for you to understand, but just because those companies are in my country didn't and doesn't help me one iota. Everyone's on their own here.
Thanks for understanding that I have an advanced degree.
That is ridiculous. I never said that nor I will. The reason is because those companies MORE people exist in those countries, and THEY'RE CHEAPER and poorer, that's something I do expect you to understand.
Did stereotyping help you in your discussions earlier?

I am preparing I131 (AP) renewal application for me and my family. For my son, who is 8 years old, do I need to fill "Part 9. Signature of Person preparing the form, if other than the applicant" since I am preparing this form? OR can I just sign Part 8 on-behalf of my son?
G-28 form says it needs to be filled in case if you use Attorney or Representative. Just wondering whether I need to fill a G-28 form for the above AP renewal application for my son since I am filling Part 9 in his application.
Can somebody clarify? Thanks for your help.
I don't know if you are filing online then I am sure that you don't have to go through all these hassles. I filed two times for all of us online and I got AP in 3 months both times.

I am EB-3 ROW PD 2007 Aug. Reading all the Eb-3 I people's angry, I started to wonder what's gonna happen to the EB-3 ROW. Seems like if lots of Eb3-I change to EB2-I , They will probably eat up all the Spillover from Eb1, EB2 ROW from now on. That makes EB-3 ROW and EB-3 I become the same boat.
Is it what gonna happened? and think about how many people can afford to spend an extra 10k to change the status from EB-3 to EB-2? That's totally not fair. We need to take action all EB-3 ers!!!!!!
danny,
i do not think its' quite that bad for EB3 ROW. the spillover system now in use is what USCIS was already doing till 2005. only in 2006 did the vertical spillover have any impact, since 2007 numbers were skewed by July. so things really have not changed that much for EB3 ROW. they will still get the large bulk of EB3 GC numbers, while retrogressed nations are limited to 7%.
also i do not think every future filing can be EB2. as it is USCIS a DOL appear to have tightened their scrutiny and narrowed their interpretation for both EB1 and EB2 approvals.
you are right of course that we must do something that helps everyone. recapture asap and then getting GC numbers increased (whether an absolute increase or exemptions) is the only solution.

I have sent you a PM. Please read it.
Filed I-485 on July 31,2007, till date not received my receipt and my checks not en cashed either, Today I have been told my last day in the company would be September 28,2007.I have given following options, please advice
Options
1. Two weeks pay that's it I need to leave the company which leads me to square one of GC processing(Having approved I140 with PD Dec 2004 in EB3)
2. I will be transferred to Indian operations of the same company ( I leaning towards this option) if I choose options they agreed to continue my GC, but since I filed for AOS is there any way convert my AOS application to consular processing?
Guys please advice

Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...
Well thats our opinion/preception or even truth. If you need to work in the US, you need to be good in english as its their national laungage.
I am giving this one for example...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7317794.stm
So even if you are a greate talent and could not speak even a word in english forget about coming to US.

what about countering efforts to corner EB3 unused visas.
I appreciate the efforts of core IV and have held them in high esteem. As I said in my post, I read all the posts / replies that I am connected to with sincerity of purpose.
Yet, I don't see a response to set up this web fax. We need to write and counter this grab of unused visas.
Efforts are going on and they are going to get much more aggresive. Go through some of the posts

If you guys read the letter a bit carefully, it says they do not have information about the country of chargeability and they cannot share it with us. For $5K all we can get is a breakdown of how many apps are there in each category and then it will be a guessing game of how many are pending for applicants from India/China/ROW etc. Just something to keep in mind.

Frist Immigration Bill Would Target Bosses
By SUZANNE GAMBOA, The Associated Press, Friday, March 17, 2006; 5:28 PM
From WaPo online:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/17/AR2006031701455.html
... Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., faulted Frist's bill for not addressing what to do with illegal immigrants already in the U.S. "Countless businesses rely heavily on their labor and it's long past time to provide legal avenues to bring this underground economy out of the shadow," he said.
...More than double the number of employment-based green cards, from 140,000 to 290,000, and make more employment based visas available to unskilled workers. It also would free up other visas by exempting immediate relatives of U.S. citizens from being counted in the annual pool of 480,000 visas, and increase country-by-country ceilings on family sponsored and employment-based immigrants.

485_se_dukhi, thanks for U'r suggestion about meeting local lawmakers. Indeed that is exactly what ppl had done on Sep 17 - Sep 19. We just covered about 150 lawmakers thats just ~1/4 of the lawmakers. Everyone can do the lawmaker meets at their local office, it doesn't require lot of effort just a few phone calls and few hrs to spare. Atleast one person from U'r state chapter would have attended the lawmaker meeting, U should contact U'r state lead on this and proceed further. Also those people who already attended the lawmaker meets are coached on what (not) to say during such meets..
I am sorry to say that "undocumented ppl" have more sponsors in Washington than that for EB-based immigration ppl:D We can sit and whine on forum, unless we take our issues to the forefront (lawmakers and media) no one is going to bother us:p Thats reality:D
How about meeting all our local congressmen and lawmakers in the next few weeks??
Since one of our key issues is educating people about our plight, it would be good to meet some of our local senators/representatives and explain our side to them.
Many of them are equally clueless about the difference between green card backlogs and H1 B visa limits (my local rep for example), legal and illegal immigration etc.
So instead of holding a rally so close to this one, why not have a few more lobby days or meetings with our reps??
Incidentally I like the idea of sending doughnuts/pizzas to the media people specially CNN...:) for obscuring our rally and misrepresenting it as "Amnesty demands"...:rolleyes:

at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!
