The link in my earlier post is a job advertisement which clearly states that EAD folks need not apply. There are 1000s of folks out there who are eligible for that position, but for the EAD restriction.
My question is -
what are these "1000s of folks" doing? Are they waiting for someone else to work for their cause?
If they believe they were wronged, they need to take action. Without any action, nothing is going to happen.
And, yes, these is discrimination on the both side of the lines. Have you looked at the hiring practices of leading desi outsourcing/consulting companies in the US?

Pappu,
I think we should have the count of donors on the top of every page like we have the donation bar. This will give the way to see how many donors are there and then set the target to get more donors.
The shepherd has to get a bit more strict to direct the herd of sheeps.
Well said and I think the community cannot just always get, they have to learn to GIVE back (for their own cause) in this case.
It is atrocious to see people demanding action when their own contribution is ZERO (infact negative by wasting the precious bandwidth and creating divisions)

Immigration-law.com just reported that "As reported by the USCIS, the Service Centers are currently experiencing the receipting frontlogs. In some cases, there are frontlog of 45 days or longer...".
I pray to God that I will not need to wait 2 months for my receipt...

If a person isn't contributing money, isn't participating in state chapters, isn't going to any rally and his/her sole contribution is 'brilliant ideas' that get posted on the forums... only use he/she can be put to is inter-breeding donkeys and horses, like you said!
However, unfortunately, IV is not a farm.
A rich man had a bunch of horses and donkeys. He used some to carry the load and some he tried to breed for participating in races. He was trying something but not very effeciently.
.... No matter how many times you ask some will never go to rallies, some will never participate in state chapters, some will never contribute money, etc. ....

I dont believe in flower/food/sos campaigns to resolve this problem...just because it worked once before doesnt mean it is going to work again..have we pursued a class action lawsuit against Department of State/Labor/USCIS for unlawful discrimination based on the country of birth in Employment Based Visas. Any idea if IV core ever took up this path? Can we attempt to do this? What are the costs involved and can we get some good lawyer representation to this goal?

I am bringing these out not because I am opposed to equal treatment of folks on H1/ EAD etc - but because there are legitimate arguments both ways and unless we can prove unequivocally that there is gross miscarriage of justice in denying us this right and on the other hand - there is no disadvantage caused to anybody else by granting us this right - this idea is unlikely to see the light of the day
while i am happy to be proven wrong - i do not see anyone in this forum having a stomach for a protracted legal battle starting with lower courts and going all the way to Supreme Court - going back to my previous point - we do not see this as a "larger than me" cause
Incorrect words used by me, I did not mean that supreme court gave authority, but that supreme court did not find that discrimination based on country of origin for immigrants violates the basic tenents of this countries constitution.
I am not saying that this is a case on employers. If at all it would be a case against the discriminatory laws of the congress which allow someone to stay indefinitely but, do not allow them to work.
If a case like this is filed, I do not think, I do not see it going to be a proteacted battle. If enough coverage is given, the lawmakers might sit down and fix the problem or atleast have a quick temporary fix. Maybe even lawmakers might not be needed, just the DOJ would might update the rules (which it is allowed in case it determines that the laws are conflicting). Most important of all, this will bring the issues on the front from being a laggard.

I opened a SR for non receipt of my FP notice, on 30Oct2007. I got a reply from USCIS exactly after 45 days ( very prompt) notifying me that " my FP has not yet expired or my FP is not yet cleared". Certainly this looks like a canned reply from USCIS which was sent even without looking at my file. I guess they should be more transparent in their process than just sending plain lies.
I also got the same message. NO FP after 2 SR & 1 info pass (case transferred from NSC to TSC).

Miss obviously,
either you have a chicken heart or you are a silent partner of a blood s#$king deshi consulting.
kg318, this is your money and you earned it. Don't give these suckers any option to suck your earned money. Charging for GC process in any stage is totally illegal no matter which state you are from. It is DOL and USCIS policy not of a state.
I see some people trying to talk here in favour of employers straight or some times using curves. Remember kg318, there are members here who have consulting company ties and who here talks for them as well. Be judgmental.
kg318... from your initial post you indicated that you "demanded" money back and noted that Company A's practice was "against the law". Now, they are using the same law against you. Not saying it is fair or pretty. Just remember, what you sow, you shall reap.
It is generally poor practice to go for gung-ho activism in a situation where you are unclear about the law (e.g., non compete) and unable to get good counsel (e.g. immigration and business law attorneys).
Just keep this in mind. Long term, your peace of mind is worth more than $4K ... just think if there are other ways in which you could have handled this.... in case such event pop up again.
If I were you, I would have a civil conversation with that company. Tell them that economics took over empathy, that you wish to be in a position where you have less financial loss and would appreciate an amicable parting of ways.
It's a small world out there. Dont pi*s on anyone, lest it come back to wet your backside!
Sabre rattling might get you out of this one, but the world still remains a small place!

I think the major bone of contention among the legislators is what to do about the illegal immigrants currently in the country. Amnesty OR no amnsesty is the major debate. Other than that both are in a common frame of mind (in some way) one way or the other regarding - border enforcement, legal immigration, retrogression relief. Now, it looks like there is a common agreement that the skillful legal immigration issue has to be separated from the illgegal immigration related Amnesty OR no Amnesty debate. Hopefully we should see something positive in the next few months. This article seems to indicate in that direction since they have agreed upon one more item, border enforcement -

Last sentence in this article: "However, given the anticipated difficulty in reaching an agreement on comprehensive reform, SKIL Act supporters likely must find an alternative legislative vehicle during the lame-duck session to pass limited relief for highly-educated workers."
What alternative legislative vehicle are they talking about?

SORRY Fellas, I cannot send this out unless the provision for H1b nenewal be added to it. I know IVs main concern is reg the backlogged GC cases, however, I would request that future of the H1b should also be addresed. I now feel that even contributing to the IV was a mistake because you are not taking a broader view of this issue. Please try to include the clauses affecting H1bs also in your letters. Particularly simple technical aspects like renewing H1b beyond the 6 years period is a MUST and one of the things that can be MOST easily achieved if asked for.
Guys,
The H1B renewal beyond six years is very important. People's Labor has been Pending for 5 years or more. Mine has been pending for over 4 years now, and I am already on 10th year H1B.
The Section 419(D): which talks about AC21 for renewal is really important.
This Bill is being done, to help people who have not followed a single rule, and this thing is going to have people waiting in line, to be removed from the process is really unfair.
This should not be allowed.

I don think this issue concerns you. So , with all due respect, please BACK OFF.
I am sorry SunnySurya but this issue DOES concern me. If everyone starts asking the IV core for their time just for their own issues, what about the rest of the community?
If you expect the IV core to dedicate it's time JUST for a particular secction of people, then you need to justify that demand.
In your opinion, EB3 is a LOWLY category as compared to EB2. So it is not enough that Nurses feed from it and just about EVERYONE else feeds from it. To top it off, overflow from eb1 goes FIRST to eb2 and then (and almost NEVER) to eb3. SO Eb2 gets a fair chunk of the greed cards, and over and above that you now want the IV core to further drop everything else and help JUST eb2 out? And who should make this demand? None other than someone who is trying to BREAK the community up into Eb2 vs Eb3.
excellent points eb3 napa..Sunny surya i think you surely need to come up with some proper reply (instead of one liners) to eb3napa to convince people here.

Did I say Nigerians should stand behind ALL of Chinese and Indians??? Can you read English? What I am saying is all should stand in line purely based on priority date, no matter whether he is Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or Nigerian. Yes, we were aware of the quota. yes, the quota has been there for a while. are you aware of robbery in this country? does that mean robbery is good? does that mean we should not do anything about that?
You got to be kidding. Why not rename the "World" as "India" . Typical disdain. The quota was IN the system before anyone got here by H1B, so your argument is fallacious. We were all aware of the quota when we got here.
There are highly skilled programmers from Nigeria also, just not in the same numbers. So you want them to stand behind all of China and India ?

OK. So now we are fighting between EB2-India and EB3-India, are we?
Before it was ROW and India.
The Anti-Immgration folks spying on this forum must be havinga good laugh!
:confused:
I am sorry if it felt like fight Lasantha.
The point I am trying to make is that things will not improve if we point at each other...IV is a place to come together and fight.
If you read all my posts you would realize that I pointed this issue out in May (trying to predict what would happen to EB3 based on their interpretation). An something needs to be done for EB3 as many people are stuck with their families for several years. All I am trying to urge everyone is to come together and think of a concrete plan rather than doing the "word battle".
Once such plan would be to think what type of EB immigration policy change would we advocate in proposed CIR. (again I am sure discussion about this will heat up when "horses are out of barn"; but I think this is the right time to do it) CIR will surely come again on the floor after elections. We need OUR strategy for it...do we have one??
A strategy that would benefit everyone : may it be EB1, EB2 or EB3.
This is all about looking forward...
And with all honesty, any amount of campaigning from IV or any other organization is not likely to change August bulletin and what USCIS and DOS has planned to do in next couple of months. I have information to support this statement and I will post it soon.
What we can do is to change the law for good with CIR. For that we will need strength, if EB3s leave IV, we will loose our own strength.
I dont know how else to make my point...

Hi Gurus,
I was looking at the processing times for the NSC 485 applications and it shows March , 2007.
Does it mean that all June 1st filers will be getting their 485 approvals by September ( barring any RFE and name check delays)???
Or is it Wishful Thinking???
It would be great if we kept this thread for receipt issues only but..
Please read the Ombudsmans 2007 report pgs 17-21. These are not real processing times.
BTW, I can't believe there are *still* people on this forum who haven't read this report -- it spells out absolutely everything that is going on/wrong with all our greencards, and you can't be bothered to read it?? :cool:
