Called the congressman's office and spoke a nice lady. She took down the bill numbers, my name and zipcode and told me that she will pass the message along. She was very friendly and it took me less than a minute to call.
Those who have not called yet, please do.

Yes we are well aware. I would advise other members not to attack other users like PlainSpeak and gk_2000 have
Tony, I tried to send you a friendly private message. I think you must have seen it (though you are acting as if you didnt). Let us stop this score-keeping (who did what first). Let past be past. What PlainSpeak says, whether you like it or not, makes sense (well mostly; I dont understand that . part.. you guys are making me learn something), and is healthy for debate. I recommend you man up and get a bit civil, so we can all at least look good.

No, it isn't NC and NC alone. The percentage of people that get stuck in NC is minuscule compared to the back log due to inefficiencies.
You can believe what you like, you can chose to in 1 breath quote from the Ombudsman report and then in the next, ignore what it states.
The fact remains, the USCIS is very far from effcient
I totally agree that USCIS is inefficient in using all the visas allocated. DOS provides cut-off dates based on the projection given by USCIS. USCIS always on the defensive and provide the cut-off dates that results in such waste in EB visas every year. I do not think that they are ready to learn from their mistakes, otherwise how come this is a regular issue every year? Even a small relief like using the entire visa allocated will be better in such retrogression.
I hope USCIS will be made liable for the mistakes done in their past and provide those unused visas back to EB.
Thanks

Just posting here to make sure you guys got the copies I sent you.
Maybe my letter was not considered in the total sent so far and there could be others like me.

There are many not so preferred areas in Canada, where there is always a demand. Most people prefer large cities such as Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, etc. These are mostly saturated, but with persistence you should find something even there. If you don't care where you live, you should definitely find a lot of openings in the area you mentioned.
Thank you, really appreciate your responce.

I had a similar experience, i took matter with the consul general, other than making an apology in the written e-mail I dont think he took any steps in improving the Customer Service @ SFO consulate office. I sent them US postal Money order, so i dont think they duped me...it just cost me extra $20.
Babu mentality is still their for any Govt of india employee and no matter what position they are holding, they all behave same, very rude and corrupt minded, always looking for an opportunity to make quick bucks using their position. Though in your case if you would have write the money order or cashier's check in favor of the consul general, Govt of india account, i dont think they have any legal way to encash these check or money orders in favor of them.
I guess the fraud is when folks send them $20 bills, thats very easy way of stealing the money and especially when they send you the PIO card in the same original envelope which you sent. Something suspicious. Write to WAshington DC office and see if they take any action.

Did you get the email today that it was rejected? Also when did the package reach USCIS?
Updates:
I got an email from my law firm, that my packet was refused to be accepted by USCIS.
I received the email from my law firm (Monday night - July 2) that:
Please note however your case was sent to Nebraska last night and did arrive - we tried!
Which means mine was sent or reached NSC sunday night or must have been hand delievered early Mon morning. Don't know exactly what happened. I just trust them!!!!
I didn't bother to ask my law firm further details. I will ping them first thing monday morning and try to give any update I get. I hope they have some proof of the refusal!!!!!!!............

By AF. It was an OK experience, except for the fact that they loot you on the transit visa fee. Also CDG airport has got to be the busiest but one of the worst airports in Europe. My baggage landed in Mumbai instead of New Delhi, but was sent to me by courier in 2 days time.
Also don't ask a second time for the I-94 form, as the stewardess will frown and shove it in your face. :p
Next time I shall pony up the additional fare for Thai, Singapore or Malaysian and never flying a European route again.

desi9333 thanks for the link. Nice one - even though it covers only Hiring practices, and not opportunities for promotions and progression.
The "Opportunity" usage has been explained much beyond Hiring in the other laws and related documents. Hence, an employee who subsequently faces discrimination because he/she cannot progress or misses on job advancements due to Visa limit restrictions is certainly being discriminated against.
Its my view and others can differ. I respect all opinions and am thankful to all because it helps improve my reasoning, mutual respect and tolerance abilities.
Back to the subject,
My earlier post on first page this thread has some action items - can anyone here take the lead and convince an attorney to take up the cause?
My cheque shall be sent as soon as the ball gets rolling.

I think Canada might be a good option for some ppl. Here are some reasons:
You move to canada, have greater flexibility to change jobs, your wife gets to work, in the meanwhile your employer lets the GC process continue. This way, you live a free life until you get a GC. But I seriously doubt if any employer will continue to process GC if you leave the country.
Or you have waited long enough and are too tired to wait any longer. You would rather be elsewhere. In this case it doesn't matter where you go, Canada or back home.
Another good reason can be that you have waited for 8-10 years in US and have no hope in sight. You are not tired but you can clearly see that the wait is completely futile and you are just hoping. You have decided to stop waiting but still want something that's close to US standards. And I think canada still comes very close to good standards.
What do you guys think?
yes corret,
I do not understand the point of moving to Canada to come back to US when the retrogression seems to end(which never ends).
What is the point in moving to Canada and waiting for something from US. I would very well stay in US and wait. At least US is better than Canada on every aspect including $$$.
I would say, if you have PR and if you can get a very good satisfying job than what you are doing here which would add value down the line, then there is a point in moving. Just for the heck of having a PR, moving to Canada is not a wise thing to do.

As I mentioned, "many" and not "all", I stand by my statement. Those paying taxes ( using fake SSNs) are in high-paying jobs like construction. How many of those waiting eagerly waiting for a job outside HomeDepot, you think, pay roll taxes? Not to mention low-paying jobs like fruit-pickers, cash workers in restaurants etc.
In a nutshell - there are those who do pay taxes. There are also a good number of those who don't

Showdown on Immigration
Marc Cooper
The good news is that after twenty years of inaction and demagogy, the US Senate is considering sweeping immigration reform. Behind that effort is a bipartisan consensus that grew out of a confluence of disparate factors: On the right, American business, desperate for low-wage and unskilled service workers, was clamoring to legalize the immigrant labor market; on the left, organized labor and liberals wanted an end to the illegal status of so many workers. And the sheer number of illegals now living in the United States--three times as many as a decade ago--demanded that something be done.
The bad news is that after arduously fighting its way to the top of the national legislative agenda--Senate majority leader Bill Frist fixed March 27 as the deadline for the Senate to come up with a bill--reform now threatens to be dead on arrival. Intransigence by the Republican right and a failure of nerve by Bush may have doomed a tenuous, years-long push to rewrite a current policy mired in denial and hypocrisy. "We may be on the verge of seeing the Republicans do to immigration what Hillary Clinton did to healthcare in the 1990s," said a prominent immigration attorney. "Set it back several decades."
(The ugly - expected to drag till Nov 06 - this line is my comment)
No one is willing to guess what will come out of the Senate process, no less out of any conference measure that would have to bridge the gap between the Senate and the draconian Sensenbrenner bill, already approved by the House. And if the process drags on closer to the November elections, chances for significant reform will dim considerably. Republicans, and especially the President, will be reluctant to further aggravate their internal party divisions. And even if Bush regains his confidence in pushing for reform, will Democrats--with their eyes now set on winning in November--really be ready to line up behind him?

When there is a necessity and I am forced to learn. Other native speakers neither going to care why I learned the language nor force me to speak that particular language as already I am speaking. So where the attitude comes in the picture.
Again I don�t have anything against Hindi or any other particular language. But I don�t like taken for granted.
Well I kinda see what you're saying when you say 'you have issues learning languages' after seeing this post. However, the problem is more general I'd presume (English included)?
