Actually, not all he said was wrong.
I totally support reform in the H1 process with a target to reduce fraud. That will ultimately benefit people like us who will come here on H1B in future.
Please don't fire me for taking his side, I'm not. I'm in favour of market deciding what it needs, but I'm 100% against fraud, and all of know these so called consulting companies ARE indulging in fraud..
These sentiments are understandable.....but......
"I know the American people want a sensible system in place that gives their children a chance at these highly skilled jobs".
Here at best he is massively overblowing/ magnifying the abuse.
So the American children "don't have a chance" (?!!) now and these "reforms" will give them a chance?
I know groups that represent workers and visa holders want reforms
Interesting to note that he is even aware that visa holders want reforms. But we shouldn't be surprised if he and Dick intoduce a new bill offering stringent H1B restrictions with very little or no scope for EB backlog elimination.

I totally agree with the reasoning logiclife presented.
Its very important that we (legal immigrants - especially work based GC applicants) take this cause seriously with some action or contributions. Following points have convinced me more:
1. Large IT companies have acted dissapointingly as far as our cause goes. They are ready to pay $85 or $100 or more for us as consultants but wont take up our cause. Most have increasingly decided to hire H1s as consultants rather than hiring H1s directly and even when they do hire H1s they are reluctant to file green cards. Some will file green cards just to keep us hooked - but wont petition on our behalf to make the process more efficient. IT companies used to be our biggest supporters - which we seem to be loosing as time goes by. (There are a few exceptions of course - not all companies are just happy to exploit us and not help us).
2. Since the terrorist attacks most states and cities along with the federal government have systematically erroded privileges (sometimes even basic privileges) granted to legal immigrants. They have been successful since the mentality of the nation has turned negative towards new immigrants. Of course this has been done very efficiently in sublimal ways by mounting hurdles for us. One stark example - Drivers licenses for immigrants can only be issued in some states at few select DMV (or BMV) locations (hidden behind a logic that not all BMV centers are well equipped to handle the security checks now required to be conducted on immigrants before granting IDs). This is ridiculous - we are expected to work but it will be increasingly difficult to do what we are expected to (privlege to drive is an example).
I am sure folks can add more points. These points make me feel as if our cause is not worth worrying about for even fair minded residents - we are a forgotten lot. Therefore, we must raise our voice.

hello EVERYBODY..need help..
this is the email came from my lawyer today..for the inquiry they did with the consulate regarding my visa.
Hi Shweta,
We understand how frustrating this is for you. We received a response to our inquiry with the consulate. It seems the application is being kept pending for additional administrative processing. The stated reason for the review falls within the law under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under these circumstances, we typically see that the government issues a notice to the applicant wherein additional information is often requested. Kindly advise if you have received any notification from the consulate on this issue.
Best regards,
IS ADMIN PROC DIFFERENT FROM ADD ADMIN PROC ???
also the same day i called DOS and they told me case was approved already in jan..so that means that now more processing needs to be done ??
ADVICE ??

I can understand your feelings.
As of now, the only solution is to support IV to push for getting wasted numbers back and removing per country quota.
-GCCovet
Guys!!!
Had it been the year like 1999 with all the efforts from IV, I am defintely sure the CIR reforms would have passed by now.
Issue here is the economy, recession looming large on our face, unemployment level rising, and no one knows whats going to happen in the next two-three years becuase of credit crisis and oil price going above the roof. If this continues for another year, we will be in deep s***.
Thats why no will dare to increase the workforce by issuing more grren cards. Atleast we should feel happy that they havent stopped issuing the cards.
I know its painful to be waiting for years to get a GC. But you do not know how green that card will stay if the current financial crisis continues for 2-3 years.
Fact is, this country is going thru a difficult period of uncertainty. Because of election year rhetoric, no one is going to accept it. But clearly, its not in their interest to get more workforce into this country. They know we have been waiting, and will continue to wait. Look at 2002/2003/2004, when they issued only 20K visas for the entire year. So just hope that things will get bright for this country soon else, we are in for an another hell ride.

well said... and key point is we are bashing (if that's what you want to call it) the system (we are part of the system) not Americans...
Lot of people fail or choose not to see that.
We do have a right to request prompt, fair service.
We do have a right to expect to be treated by the system as we treat the system: with respect.
If we do not actively seek to change the system for the better, then who will?
There is no injustice that some justify with "well, he's illegal!" or "He's not American!" It is not acceptable. Not just because it is unfair to us, but because there are no bounds to it.
If early Americans just accepted how the British treated them, there would be no United States. Not arguing for revolution, but I am saying that any efficiency that exists today exists because of the demand for it. Regardless of citizenship.

Based on my understanding once 485 is filed, one can only get one year H1b extension it does not matter if one uses EAD/AP.
i thought it had to do with visa numbers being unavailable rather than 485 filing
we should check on this

Nope no GC for me yet. Same boat as everyone else in EB3 India. Did you not read the "eb3" part of the eb3_nepa? :)
All the drama people... If you do not know much about eb3_nepa...Pls read this
Eb3Nepa is very much here from initial days of this organization and supported the cause alot, even more than main members(So called..) here.
That is how he knows the core team members names/handles, even lot of you do not know them...
Only 1 or 2 members are here from initial 12+ core members..That is another thing though.
Anyway, as others mentioned, people have to move on..and this movement is just not by core members but by all. Core members comes/goes, after their journey, unless they have some agendas. (In the +ve way)
Hope, you do not start another storm here...
Eb3Nepa, congrats on your green card.
You must be enjoying the time now after GC.
How is the life after GC. Is it same like earlier or any change.
Because we are still in the queue, hoping to get it in 1,2 months as per time lines.

This might sound weired..but I think we can get some support from Housing Market !
Facts:
------
The housing market is slowing down significantly and there are millions of unsold homes out there.
More than 1/2 million people are stuck in the green card process. I am sure
most are waiting for green card before they buy their house and make longtime commitment.
I think we are a "Frozen" pool of customers for the Housing Market.
500000 H1B X 300000 (average house price) = 150 billion dollar market is just
inaccessible just because of retrogression.
I think we should convince them to help us FINANCIALY

Cannot argue with your experience. But I still think providing a convenient automatic way to pay small amounts for a specific period of time will help. (the suggestion of $30 over 6 months or 60 dollars over 6 months etc.) Sure people can do it on their own, schedule it, remember it and have the will to do it et al.
But when I put myself in the donor's shoes, it feels like the old times when there were no automated payments for electric bills. :D
This has been discussed umpteen number of times, but I am going to share a personal experience here (shared once already on a similar thread).
For the last state chapter (Diwali Mela) event in North CA we were accepting ANY AMOUNT for a contribution, but were suggesting $25 or $50.
How many contributed? About 20 from a state chapter that boasts of 150+ members.
The fact is, people do one of the following:
1. look at the recommended amount and contribute that amount (most of our donors were $25, and a few paid $50)
2. pay a high $ amount simply because (s)he is convinced he wants to help as much as possible! (Most of the volunteers for the event paid $50 or more, and three of them paid $90/$100 each)
3. DO NOT pay, no matter what, as they are not convinced it will help reduce their waiting time
One more time... IV is not turning anyone away. If you can only contribute $10 a month, please feel free to paypal it yourself to donations at immigrationvoice.org
Like the squirrel who helped Lord Rama construct the bridge (sorry for making this a slightly "Indian" post, but can't think of a better analogy) every small bit is going to help IV, and will be most appreciated!
However, the bridge to the GC is a long one, and our Lord Rama (IV) needs thousands of hard-working and contributing monkeys to make it a reality:D
