Well, I don't think gctest is against EB3. He is against consultants from sleazy bodyshopping companies, which is right.
A career based on lies and deception is criminal in my humble opinion. There are people who actually came to US with valid experience and education, but still end up applying in EB-3 because the employer did not oblige. Sad for them, but it again boils down to the fact that if the job description qualified them for EB-2, then they got cheated. Otherwise, it is just.
I would like to clear the stand that I am a MS holder from an American university and I work as a Sr. Engineer in one of the top internet firms. I left an offer from that crappy operating system maker because that job did not require MS or even BS+5. It was BS+3. I chose a job where I get to apply in EB2.
People who crib about not getting a chance, even though their job description did not support it are wrong, IMO. NO ONE forced you in to that job. This is not slavery and US is not the only place where you can get a job.
Sorry but i dont agree if you call the consultants sleazy or any other thing. Everybody fights to survive here and they are taking a risk at their own cost hence they are benefitting. I donno whether you would not take a eb1 if uscis itself offers u one ? Anyways may be you arent lying but check your company ..all the big companies do creative accounting tell lies to share holders and what not ..does it make them any inferior or superior ..in the end behind every success there are things that are right. So even people who applied in eb2 did somethings right which enabled them to get qualified under it. Dont be a crybaby ..be a man ...u american graduate take risk or show ability to qualify under eb1.

Both the AILA and USCIS are playing hide and seek. Who ever shows up first, basically looses. So both are still hiding and we are loosing our sleep. :)
Cheers,
h1techSlave
I hope I am totally wrong , but if USCIS has decided to put July 2nd applications in COLD STORAGE , then July 2nd filers are in for a long & bumpy ride.I hope we don't become the rolling stone in the game between AILA & USCIS.
What a shame? For hiding their own shortcomings , they are playing such horrible games with our future.
Peace.

What i think is add this in your short term goal:
In case we need to go back we should have atleast a flat (completely owned) to live and work.
This is the minimum advantage of coming to different country to take all these struggles.
Guys,
I know this is immigration forum , so People who are not interested in this thread please ignore.
Considering the State of Markets and Global economy.
Do you guys think it make sense to buy a Flat/Single family house in India , I am going to india in Mid october. Should i take the lunge and buy some proerty there...This would be the first home..so no Home equity Loan..It will be on 12% interest Rae from some indian bank.
Please throw some ideas..

Response for my RFE on 140 was supposed to be sent in by today. My Law office sent in the resposne using FEDEX overnight yesterday. I come to work in the moring and check the status of FEDEX and it says it is still in transit. I call the fedex office with tracking number and they say there was a big technical problem and hydraulic leak in the plane that was supposed to carry my response. Fedex says they will try to deliver by after mailroom closes today and they are ready to issue a letter stating that its their mistake. Do you guys think my response will be accepted tomorrow or I get a NOID for my 140? My lawyer says that if FEDEX trys to deliver it by today and they fail we should be ok or if they issue NOID we can always rebut back with letter from FEDEX and open a MTR .. any one of you guys have any such experience. I dont want to blame any one here excpet my luck in the whole process.
Any input guys .. I really dont know what to do .. I am almost half paralyzed , I am in 6th year of my H1 and ends in december ..and my PD is Sep 2004 .
Urgent any help or input ...

If only you were born three months later...sigh!
I understand that your priority date is based on country of birth. I have read that you can use your spouse's country of birth. What if you have nationality in a country for over 20yrs but born in India. My parents emigrated to Europe when I was three months old, and I was naturalised there. The spouse rule doesn't apply to me because my wife is born in India too. Is there a rule anywhere that makes you eligibile to file under a particular quota if you had nationality in that country for a VERY long time? I was told no, so throwing this out to the group for advice. No hopes that I will hear otherwise.
Thanks to all.

i'm not sure i understand. but maybe i'm not good enough for "reverse brain drain" and to those who voted "yes", please confirm July 4 that you are leaving. i saw some of you tracking receipts in desperation? why, why for god's sake? if you are ready and willing to leave in 6-8 months did you care so much? wish there was a way to hold each one of you to your words.
and anyway, what are you doing for that "freedom and independence"? how many of you are actively helping in iv's lobbying effort? just sitting around and watching or criticizing is hardly winning any "respect". please don't make me point out individuals and start pasting their previous posts here...

IVans:
I'm in the US on a H1B visa since Oct, 2003. My current approval notice
(I 797) has an expiry date of April, 2008. However I do not have a stamp on my passport reflecting the expiry on April, 2008. The only H1B stamp on my passport was that obtained just before my first entry to the U.S on a H1B and the expiry date shows June,2005. I didn't have to leave the country since my entry date and hence didn't find the need to get the visa (current approval) stamped on my passport.
Since one can apply for a H1B extension 6 months before the actual expiry date which will be November 2007 in my case and if I do so and obtain a new approval notice (with an extension of upto 3 years as I have a I 140 approved with my current employer) and if that notice has an expiry of April 2011, then if I go to the Canadian US embassy in Jan, 2008 to get my H1B stamping done in the month of January, 2008, will the new stamp have an expiry date of April, 2008 (current approval notice) or can I get a stamp valid until April, 2011 (based on latest approval notice)?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Hey sumanvenkatappa...
You seem to be a Junior member so I would like to tell you that if you have query that is not relevant to the one already open , you start a new Thread. You do not post your query to an existing thread and piggyback on it.
You can go to FORUM and click on NEW THREAD and enter an appropriate title and then enter your query.
hope this helps you to come to speed with the IV query posting convention...
To put it in other words...lets say u r very hungry and go in a restaurant....Just bcoz you r very hungry you don't start to eat from somebody else's plate....you would take ur own seat SEPARATELY and order your own food.....Think of posting query's in the forumn similar to that....And that goes for everyone else hijacking somebody else's threads..
Don't mean to be RUDE ..but I am getting sick of people hijacking threads and deviating from the original query...

In a way it's better that there wasn't a huge announcement to solve the visa bulletin fiasco today because we have so many other issues in the employment-based green card process that need to be addressed, that any announcement might have only provided a short-term fix and moved away the focus. I intend to march my heart out and hope that we bring attention to our issues which hopefully shall be put right someday.

I am in eb3 row, have a job waiting for me in the usa, but i am in england,
Have a PD of june 06, am terrified that my job offer will be withdrawn if i dont make some progress soon. Have had job offer for 1 year this week.
My soliciter has written to nvc to try and shed some light. but im not expecting much joy.
But from the posts, i have read in this thread, do i detect a glimmer of hope for my situation.?
Could EB3 row become current soon.??
It is just so unjust that i have to wait the length of time that i have, its not so bad if you are already out there, and just changing your status, but for some one in my position trying to perminently relocate, job waiting for them, no family, just me, clean as a whisle and not able to do anything because you are stuck in the same que as everyone else is just a nightmare. I have had my life on hold for a little under 2 years for this. And im only 24.
Im starting to wonder just how much longer i can wait. Life has to go on you know. Im loosing some of the best years of my life to stand in a fucking que, for something that may never happen. It is almost enough to make you think about becoming and illegal.

what logic life says makes 100% sense. we are not here to fight --- there are other forums for that. in fact, i should not have respoded to eb3_nepa at all
I am not fighting but YES, my reason to join IV was to find justice to the H-4 not being able to work when L-1 spouses and Agjob spouses (I read this a year ago) could. Although no promises were made from IV, I was surprised today since nothing was ever said regarding no interest in the H-4 cause when many discussions were in place. Here people contribute for their own benefits, I was here for the H-4s, that is why I transcribed part of the conference calls too, so I was somehow a contributor to a cause that doesn't represnt my interests, but I know it represents the interests of the unmarried folks, or married to IT 'spouses' folks, so for this folks the fight for better legal provisions still on, good luck to you!.

IV is about you and me and IV will become what we want it to be.
Folks,
I know many of you may have already thought about this at some point. I'll lay out my views on the donations...IV can object/correct.
I'm following the donations thread along with many of you and there is not much to be excited there.2000$ in 2 weeks....for all the Agenda that pappu has posted. I understand that everyone(including me)...will have limited resources at our disposal every month...may it be mortgage/daycare/medical/school or those unexpected repairs...so the bottom line is there is not much room to increase our monthly contributions or...holiday contributions.
I was thinking...we are 25000 'real' people...and there are more than one visit by each person to this site.
1. Can IV use any space to advertise...so that IV can get some AD Money?
2. Is it possible to get some space on popular pro-immigrant or immigrant driven websites...to donate to our cause?
3. Would it be possible to split the donation denominations further down...like 5 dollars..or even low..so that all immigrants...including people who got the GC's/Citizenship can contribute with out looking deeper into their pockets.
4. Optional....ebay/paypal donation to the peoples questions/answers...Mind you it is totally optional...if you want to donate 5/10/20/100...or how important the question is and hw satisfied the person is with the information...etc
5. DOnation boxes at Immigrant owned grocery stores...with out compromising their principles
Folks, I have layed them out with good intentions...and have also given a thought of what I personally can do for each point above...I'm not expecting the vultures to prey...on the post with mundane comments.
Regards.
