Why are trying to wake up folks who are pretending that they are sleeping?
Let them pretend.
This was the same guy who said FOIA can be hung on wall like an art frame because he does not need the data. He does not care a rat's ass if you care about the data or not. When I mentioned that FOIA can also be used for making a presentation to the lawmakers on how deep the retrogression is, FOIA is ok and good. Because, it will possibly benefit him
Me! Me! Me! Me! Alllll ME!
Give me my GC IV! I will give you 25-50$ depending on my mood. What ever!
IV needs to come out with a action plan or tell what it intends to do with the donations. once they are more open, donations will flow. I know IV is non profit org but that does not mean that funds cannot be misused. (I need more red dots please :))

Once you contribute, update your signature so that it will inspire others when they see contribution from fellow members.
Would it be a good idea to kind of enforce(enforce-> lack of better word) new users to have a signature. And also provide them e.g. like individuals GC status, contribution etc.... inkling them.. :rolleyes:

I don't think linking GC to anything, leave alone buying a house, is such a good idea. I bought my house when only my 140 was approved.
But on the other hand buying a house is a huge responsibility which will, at the very least, take out the flexibility in your movement. Paying rent is not always a waste of money if you look for other means of investment. Hoses are not going to appreciate the way they used to. You'll be lucky if they appreciate by even 1%.
If your eventual plan is live here permanently, then yes go ahead by all means. You won't find better home prices and better loan rates than now.
Pay attention to the expenses you'll incur after buying a home, most importantly
1) Utility Costs (be particularly worried if you live in snow areas).
2) Maintenance (Regular community maintenance and interior maintenance).
3) Property Taxes (if you live in areas like NY, NJ, they'll only go up from already Highs)
4) Child Day care expenses (When you are ready to send your kids to day care, this expense will hurt you the biggest in terms of meeting your mortgage commitments).

ok - 1,000 folks (none of them voters) are asking me for a comprehensive employment based GC reform......which is a pain in the .......!!
...
and the lawmaker wonders over a cup of decaf latte - what should i focus on......??? to him/ her - the choice is obvious.....and if it is not obvious to us........we should take a reality check.....
I agree that asking for complicated changes is a pain. But after meeting the lawmakers, I realized that this is the BEST way. Even the lawmakers agree and attest to this.
You are doing a reality check without even being there. Which, let's face it, is not really a reality check. It is more of your opinion and assumption.
Lets also not confuse facts vs opinions. The fact is that meeting lawmakers and educating them about our point of view is the key to this whole GC mess.
Personally, I did not attend the DC event because I was travelling on business and to me my perceived benefit (maybe wrong) of rally was not worth postponing an important business trip.......
Let me ask you a simple question. What CAN be the "perceived benefit" from a rally like this that would make you think that it would be worth attending? Is it something like a guarantee for a GC in 2 months or a bill that passes next month that does everything we legals want? What is it?
Bringing attention to lawmakers about our plight. Bringing the issue right up to the Capitol. Bringing the issue up for even discussion in the various immigration meetings that are held every other day. Are these benefits not important enough for you?

Remember, 245i cases were the NOT the same as the mexican illegal aliens that are being spoken of in relation to CIR .. lots of educated, legal H1-Bs lost their jobs (and their legal status) during the dot com burst of 2000 - 2002. Some of them stayed on even after going out of status, and then became eligible to file for GC under 245i.And needless to say, many more of those H1s came from India than mexico.
There are also Non-RIR cases that were applied in apr 2001 still pending in BEC. I personallly know few of my friends whose labor is still pending in BEC with PD apr 22 , 2001.

I always cleaned my room, in India and here. What's wrong with that? Infosys founder Narayan Murthy cleans his own toilet (as per his own admission to a newspaper). Does it make him an 'inferior' person to you? Don't you vacuum your room every weekend? Does that make you any lesser person? Ever heard of dignity of labor?
You wrote - "Humans, listen, life is not 1000 years, it is very short, dont waste the best part of your life waiting for gc". So what are you doing ? Not waiting for GC? Then why are you hanging around? There are good opportunities back home . Those sitting in deep-sh*t shouldn't be throwing muck at others stuck in the same sh*t.
I am sure most of us here (especially from India) were pampered and did not even clean their own study desks or rooms of their house when they were young, now they are ready to sweep the roads of a foreign country to get the foreign government attention to get their gc :)

If USD falls further-then other alternatives like migrating to Canada and Australia are more attractive.
Australia rewards you in terms of more points for having
-Better English
-Possessing high tech skills in demand
-Being less than 35 years old.
Australia has business ties to both Europe and far east Asia.
Compare this to US high skilled immigration system!. Ah!.

Even if the Labor cert says "Masters" then as long as you had BS + 5 years experience before you filed for labor, to qualify for EB2, this should be ok.
This statement is not true. Minimum job qualifications should clearly mention the degree required or other alternate degree(s) with experience which would suffice. Moreover, it is a standard misconception among the community about Eb-2/Eb-3 categories being determined under Labor Certification stage. USCIS is the one which classifies applications under different categories (EB-1,2,3, etc) based on degree and/or yrs of experience, not DOL.
Labor certification determines the following: Minimum Job requirements (Education + experience required, if any), Job description/duties, Prevailing Wage. When filing I-140, if the job requirements meet a particular category and labor certification has been approved and the candidate meets the job requirements (education/experience as defined in LC), then the company can file in the appropriate EB category. Note that, even though if you have an approved LC that will qualify you for an EB-2 case, you also have an option to file for EB-3 I-140 with that LC instead of EB-2. Some companies deliberately do this to keep the beneficiaries employed with them for a longer duration.
Now coming back to the OPs case, I observe the following from the information posted so far:
- Labor was filed with a minimum requirement as Masters degree. No alternate degree requirement or equivalency was mentioned.
- USCIS mistakenly approved the I-140 (I am assuming OP does not have a US Masters and only has masters equivalent or BS + 5 yrs)
- Sponsoring employer revoked approved I-140
- USCIS checked the I-140 and realized it made a mistake in initial I-140 approval
- USCIS denied the pending I-485 based on incorrect I-140 approval
If all of the above is correct, then I doubt if anything can be done. I dont see any grounds to file MTR based on the fact that beneficiary does not have a US Masters degree which is the requirement as indicated in LC filing. I dont think you can do anything with respect to USCIS's mistake in approving I-140 earlier and now denying it. Got to wait and see what the attorney's view is in this regard.

Came back today on AP. Port EWR. Escorted to secondary inspection. "Purpose of your trip", "Are you working for the petitioning employer" and "Since when you have been working for them" were the questions.
Can you please clarify, what details did you fill in following columns of I-94.
1) Name of the City where Visa was issued: ( Did you write Advance Parole ?)
Your parole document is not a visa. I left it blank.
2) Date of Visa Issued: ( Did you write Date of issuing Parole ?)
Blank again.

Thanks Sanju for bringing this up...
From my experience, I have seen the hiring managers being hand-in-glove with the Consulting companies(both desi and non-desi) from which they frequently hire...these consulting companies get the most favored status for every opening that hiring manager publishes... And I'm not talking about some non-descript company...I'm talking about Fortune 100 companies...
@alapkd -> Unfortunately they hardly get caught...
When a Consulting company is being hired to do a job, they take the responsibility of things going wrong...they are also hired for a fairly defined time...These are few reasons why they are paid high...also bigger the company, bigger the overhead costs...you are sponsoring a lot of cost centers dept from what you earn....
Try independent consulting to get a better share of your earning....

People I am trying to introduce the contents on a new thread
Pappu,
I appreciate your input, but IV members have been talking about numbers and numbers and numbers for last 2 years in a row.
What will the numbers reveal? I had been a regular blogger at IV, but I stopped coming up here because.
1. All talk and no Walk
2. New members come aboard, are rude and offer no pragmatic approach.
3. All these bloggers give ideas and critique each other.
4. What happened to the March1 09st rally in DC?
Why has IV not taken a pragmatic approach, don't take me wrong I respect what you have done and other approaches in the past. But IV is using same approach for a new problem, the end result-----Failure
I joined this community after july fiasco, and have kept close watch on dates, everyday members keep suggesting something or the other. I don't mind being a donor to IV or contributing little what I have, But I need to see some big movement and results.
I did all the stupid calling to congress senators
Did sending of letters to the White house
what was the result? If IV wants core members and new members to donate and be a part of something bigger than a website, then please initiate something big like a rally.
Just because their are less members to join, does not excuse a true purpose of a rally.
Some of core members of IV keep telling other members:
1. Join your local chapter
2. Be a donor,
I understand all this, but I as a visiting members and the people coming on here, want to see a true and real reason to be a part of IV and not just a website where immigrants come and breathe out their frusturations July Fiasco turned to be advantageous to a few members, but was a mistake for members like me and other members who could not file at that time.
Please prove me wrong and IV to be something more than a website, please initiate something big and real, and not just comments. I an aware of the achievements in the past, but it was past 3 years ago. For last three years immigrant's feelings have been played around too many times. Same old talks will not bring upon a change, SOMETHING BIG NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW BEFORE THE CIR BILL takes place. So people are more aware.
Show us IV core is more than words! Conduct something bigger that will attract new members and donors to this organization.
I as a professional can tell you all now--- passive movement, sending letters, long term planning with no actions will not help
People have left IV, who are so disheartened and believe this organization has lost its eedge and is all talk and no walk above all a money scam.
Prove them wrong and do something big, above all Practical

What would be their logic?

http://www.ailf.org/lac/lac_lit_visab.shtml
http://www.murthy.com/ailf_lawsuit.html#Update6
They obtained authorization to file the lawsuit. They had it prepared to file and received good response from possible plaintiffs. It was possibility of good strong case by AILA that deterred USCIS to reverse the decision without a formal lawsuit. This is exactly what we need to further our cause. USCIS could care less about other petty tricks. They will only understand language of laws/court. For that we need congress to pass laws favoring us.

According to this article on the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123725421857750565.html)
"Each year, 85,000 H-1B visas are granted for foreigners with advanced skills and education, and last year, 163,000 petitions were filed in the first five days after applications were accepted. The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation estimates that as of Sept. 30, 2006, 500,040 residents of the U.S. and 59,915 individuals living abroad were waiting for employment-based visas. Many would buy homes if their immigration conditions were settled."
This is probably all countries put together. Have we had any luck with getting more details from the senators or congressmen?
