You need to find a new employer and a new sponsor. Sorry its harsh but its the best advice we can give you.
I doubt anyone has been through my situation because most of you are high or higher-paid IT professionals. In my case, my company's immigration attorneys have been requesting the prevailing wage over and over for more than a year noiw (in order to get me started with PERM) but the prevailing wage always comes back way higher than what I am getting paid! Evidently, I am severely underpaid, and there is no light at the end of my tunnel unless my company matches the prevailing wage, which I doubt they will do. I used to laugh at those that called H1B the "modern day slavery", but now I am not laughing anymore. Has anyone at all been through this ordeal and can at least share a shoulder to cry on? Thanks guys

Back in the days there was a campaign launched by Govt of India to plant more trees.....the slogan was "plant one tree for every house". A wise guy was prompt to ask the govt... "give me a house, I will plant a tree". Likewise, give me the GC, I will definitely follow the rules.

Seeing your postings gives me hope of getting GC this time.
Irritated with the lack of transparency and pathetic Customer service.
Created SR :- std reply blah blah.. under review..wait for 60 days.
Twice talked to IO :- First time response.. we are working on your case..
second response :- As per our info on my screen, it is not yet assigned to IO and neither pre-adjudicated. One person says one thing and another says another thing. I do not know what screen they are looking and how they are pulling info. What is the point of puting CSR if they have half baked info or worse no info on where the case is.
Have infopass appt late next week. Guess another garbage collecton day..:-)

PAPPU and Others,
We pay taxes PLUS Social Security for which we dont get any benefit. Dont miss that.
Let us be assertive about that.
we try to mention in our media interviews about us paying all the taxes and playing by the rules, still the anti immigrants pursue this misinformation campaign against us. We will all try to ensure that in every media interview we say that we pay all taxes..

You may wanna read "Six thinking hats" by Edward de bono. He talks about having critical thinking hat(black hat) during brainstorming.Lets have some people with black hats here.
I have read the above book and other books (lateral thinking, ...) by Edward de bono; he has written a lot of (non expensive) books. I strongly recommend his books to the open minded reader.
btw I thought anand26 was banned from this forum. I am not too far away from being banned as well. I got a post deleted by the admin already without any notice.
I should also be banned soon. My post was not published on Friday. I did not praise logiclife for the Friday episode. I do understand that my question's will not get answered.
On the other hand, I see absolutely no content in anand26's posts. Such posts are a complete waste of time for our cause. There is no point in responding to such posts if you do not agree with it. We wasted yesterday on anand26 and friday on someone else.
However, the posts should not be deleted and persons who agree should be allowed to debate. This will not hurt IV. What is hurting us is the time we spend in responding to them.

could it be that ppl will not be able to sneak in with pre-approved labor now? if there is a significant number doing that, the PDs will move faster. Congrats IV on this achievement!
Isme IV ka kya haath hai. USCIS wanted to do it so they did it. IV or me I should say is just going to push when time comes to remove retrogression,
that is what we can do now. Our reforms are linked to CIR so pray.

There is a spillover of 22000 visas from FB to EB starting Sep 01 2008. Does anybody know how this spillover is divided between EB1/EB2/EB3?
Can we expect 28.6% of this spillover in EB3? Just like we get 28.6% of annual quota?
Yes, AFAIK the FB spillover is added to the base quota and then divided between the ranks. At least I hope DoS and USCIS don't mess up with this calculation.
BTW: Where were you able to find this information?

I had to answer as NO as i live in northeastern PA... the poll should have had an option "I would love to but I live too far away.. but I'll be there in spirit" .. :)
I think everyone is glad that you will be there in California in spirit. Maybe you could help organize another rally in northeastern PA.
I think a better poll option would be to say "I live too far away..but I will organize a rally closer to my residence"

I wouldn't bet on a month either. I think I'm the most unfortunate of people on the planet today :-(
My appointment was on the 12-Dec. Visa was approved immediatly but haven't received the passport yet. I receive the same response when I call.. that its under PIMS verification. No ETA of when I can expect it to be done..
I had a H1 transfer to a new employer and 3 year extension happen at the same time. I am not sure what the problem is and what I can do. I am totally stressed out and really depressed ..
If someone has done something thats helped their case move along.. please PM me or reply to this post.. Thanks !

What is IV's position on more H1Bs?
IV does not support, nor oppose H1-increase as far as I know, that is not on the agenda at all. IV was formed by and for EB -applicants to ease some of the hardships faced by the EB Community and to end the visa-number unavailability and retrogression.

A lot was said above but some basic things still need clarification.
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to get my LCA adjudicated in 2-3 months time (OK, make it 6 months, having in mind you are dealing with an inefficient administration).
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to know in short term (2-3 months, not 3-4 years !) if I am eligible for permanent residency.
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to know how long (if approved) will take the I-485 process.
These are clear, simple questions that require clear, simple answers. Getting these answers (NO is also an answer) in a reasonable period of time is a right, not a privilege...
No I want the RIGHT to get my GC as soon as I land here on a H1B. They should give me the GC at the airport itself. I'm not waiting one day even. ;)

Hi letstalklc
Thanks for your reply.
"SBI will update only once in the morning" Just wanted know the morning of India or USA ?
Ok, I just did myself and man you are RIGHT.
Today's exchange rate is [USD 4001 10000 48.07]
and I got ($$$ X 48.07) - 25.
Many thanks for the knowledge.
I am not sure if ICICI also does the same, because I too have stooped using their service. And you know what, I called when once when I had a very bad exchange rate given. I said that I will quit using your service and surprise surprise they didn't care. And ,now, So Do I.
That is India time....
If you transfer less than 1000 USD to outside SBI, they will charge 25 rupees, the only problem is that they will not specify that charges any where in the transaction.....but it will be accurate all the time....

Good Questions. Would you be willing to jump into the field and start motivating people to be part of IV and be actively involved in IV Action Items?. Would you be willing to find out what is stopping people from getting involved with IV?. We are always short on Volunteers to work on IV Activities and we definately welcome newbies willing to work for this cause. We have a few highly dedicated volunteers who spend time educating other people about IV, forming state chapters, recruiting members into state chapters, organizing chapter events, raising funds and the list can go on. These volunteers have 24 hours in a day just like everyone else and they have full time jobs, families, careers, schools to attend etc. Would you be willing to go out and recruit volunteers for us?
Sure. Like I stated before, I have been educating people about IV here for quite some time now. Let me know what needs to be done. If you all can share your experiences, I can work on it.

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.
Please throw some ideas..
At this point, I think it makes more sense to become a blood sucking goolti employer. :D
updated-------->
To the punk you gave me red with the comment "What the fu*K did you mean by goolty? Did some gulti screwed your wife or mother??"
No, actually I was fucked by a GOOLTI not a GULTI like you. And if I find you I will make sure to buttfu*k your Dad & make you Mom suck my di*k later MotherFu*ker. If you Mom is dead, then maybe your GrandMom or Wife or Daughter. Oh, and also learn some grammar, it is "screw" not "screwed", guess they don't teach that in goolti schools huh? Arsehole Fuc**ng lonely inbred loser.
Add to the other who gave me red with "I dont see much difference b/w gulty, Marathi, Tamil, Gujju, Desi, Gora, Iraqui, Irani." I was referring to GOOLTI not GULTI. Visit www.goolti.com know the difference. Gulti's are hardworking Telugu folk, I have no problem with them. GOOLTI's are the blood sucking Employers. Thanks for understanding.

13 years since I landed in this country.....finally, I got the approval email 15 minutes back. I am not sure how to express my feelings (or lack thereof).
I want to thank the following guys from the botton of my heart.
1) KubMilegaGC - who gave me support in September or was around for sometime in October to check on my status
2) SeekerOfPeace, KewlChap and fatjoe - for all the valuable information they have provided. Thank you so much guys!!
I did the following:
1) Took around 10 Infopass appointments, with the last one being today morning at 9 AM PST. IO told me that my case was under review since July 2009.
2) Attorney reached out to AILA liaison
3) Sent DHS-7001 to CIS Ombudsman
4) Letter requesting USCIS secretary Napolatino to inquire about the delay in my case
5) Letter to first lady last weekend requesting to inquire about the delay in my case
6) Several inquiries were made by Congresswoman on my behalf
7) Inquiry was made on my behalf by the senator
8) Opened several SRs - I think around 6 or 7
As a result, I now have around 30 different responses from USCIS/DHS. Looking at each response, it makes me believe that they have not even cared to look at my case and have just pulled out a response from a standard set of responses.
I believe what really helped me is a phone call using the POJ method to TSC. I was fortunate to get a hold of a very nice and polite IO. IO walked me through the entire process and to my utter disbelief told me that my case was still sitting in the storage area and collecting dust (this was 2 weeks back). While I was on the phone, the IO sent a request to the folks in the storage area to pull my file out. Luckily for me, the file was in one of the storage areas in Texas itself. Once the file was at the Texas service center, it sat in the holding area for almost a week . It seems like the officer picked up my file sometime at the end of last week or earlier this morning.
Edit to the post: In hindsight, I think the delay in my case was because I had 4 I-140s (2 from RIR labor and 2 from PERM, one each for EB2 and EB3). I think whenever the IOs looked at my file, they thought that my case was not current. The IO I talked to specifically put in a note for the IO to look at the EB2 140 (June 2004) and not the EB3 I-140 (June 2004) or the I-140s that I have from July 2005. I dont know what to tell my attorney, not sure why they had to file 140s in EB3 for me.
Once again, thanks to everyone who has supported me to get through this painful process. Last 60 days (since September 1st) have been very painful for me.
Good luck to all EB2 who are still waiting and to all the EB3 folks, I hope you guys become current soon and get your GCs - I really really admire your patience.
Keep the faith.....
My Dear friend - Congrats and welcome to the green club..I guess I can stop coming to these forums now..:) You got it! You did it! and you DESERVE it! you have shown great patience and I could not be more happy for you!
Enjoy the green - take couple days off and just RELAX.

I have tried to put my career goals ahead of the dollar conversion rate (not always easy). Because i took up new roles and salary , i have had to restart the GC process a couple of times. As a result i am still without GC despite being here for more than 10 years and having two masters degrees from US. I am sure this is a common story here.
I am heading towards a another change and now have very little patience for restarting the process. I am glad many people on this forum have voluntered to help pack. I will be getting in touch with you in a few months.
