I am not sure about the statement "There is no corporate support for EB reform.....". Check this link http://www.competeamerica.org/. They seem to have the same agenda as ours (i.e., IV's). Is IV aware (or in collaboration) with them?
The reason we see progress year after year with Schedule A and nothing happens in EB reform because there is no corporate support for EB reform. This is one of the reaons why we should be open for measure like 485 whenever possible, even after febuary 15th.
Maybe we need to figure out how we can involve the corporations in EB relief. The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

I have travelled AI around 6-7 times with no issues at all. On the other hand I have horrible experience with Continental and Air France.
As for your experience in Frankfurt (gift purchased in Duty Free in NY not allowed), this has nothing to do with AI. It is Security staff in Frankfurt. I suspect the gift included something liquid (alcohol or perfume etc) which are NOT allowed at security point.
That is why it is advised either to carry these stuff in your registered bag OR purchase it from a duty free at the last point where you board a flight.

In fact a fellow indian wearing a turban tried to get into the consulate just before the consulate officially opens. The person inside (not the security) threatened him that he/she will call security and through him out!. Thats their attitude... They (at least think) belong to ruling class of india, so they behave like that?!
Why was your "fellow Indian wearing a turban" trying to enter the Consulate before it officially opened? The Consulate official had every right to call security and "through out" your "fellow Indian wearing a turban". If your "fellow Indian wearing a turban" had followed the rules and not tried to force his way, maybe he would not have been treated thus.
Here's a thought: try doing the same here and see how well you are treated.

I would defenitely say that not letting H4 people to work is not only discrimination , it is also Human Rights violation....
US should stop accusing other countries of human rights violations when they have so many issues to take care off.....Just think about 20 million illegal immigrants living in dark...no health care, no rights , no driver license....
This rule "when you point a finger at someone, there are 4 fingers pointing at you..." is just for USA!
The US Immigration Law is a nightmare.
Couple of years ago, I migrated to Australia.
The Australian laws are very clean and straight forward. There is only one application form with some very simple question and detailed instructions. Just fill up the form, enclose the necessary documents and fees. That's it. You are done. In due time they will let you know "YES" or "NO".
There is no need to feed fat-belly hungry sharks called "Immigration Attorneys" (of course there are exceptions).
Once your case is approved, you and your family are eligible for the all the rights (except Vioting Power) enjoyed by any Australian Citizen.
Once accepted, there is no official discrimination.
Here the US Government cries about anti-discrimination, human rights etc, but those are only eye-wash. They should take lessons from the Australians.

They have to abolish the H1B programme completely since they can no longer prevent its abuse. They need to have a new process in place in which scrutiny occurs for each application of a foreign worker!
Another option is to spread the words how Americans treat H1B workers, esp. those educated ones. Once a realistic view about coming to America as a legal foreign worker is known, I bet a lot of people will not come. Who is going to waste 10 years of their life living in a "near-slave" work environment and at the end still apply to Canadian residency? :D
Once nobody, esp. those well-educated, high-tech, skill workers, comes, they will see the impact of the whole American immigration saga. ;)

Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).
this reminds me of a true story of a 5 year old kid who asked his grandma, why are you pouring somuch money building a wall around the empty site when you could have built a nice house. For him to understand and appreciate the necessity to spend money on the wall, he needs to understand numerous things. What can you tell such a kid. You'd smile and leave it at that. Sure he has a valid point about putting the money to a better use.
The point you are making is also same. There is definitely truth in that but there is more around that. When you look at the big picture , you'd get it. Otherwise, when some one tries to explain it , it will sound like a rant.

RE database of members' attorneys
Now when explained like this anyone would understand. Also do see the point you are making and is worth a try. Is the core team looking into this? Do they need any assitance from us?
This is something that we have not had time to discuss yet. I raised the idea a few days ago, but we are all very busy currently. btw I am not an official core member, but recently very active.

Listen my friend I had a similar experience...
The phone receptionist in DC very rude, she behaves like indian babu's, she is very arrogant..
Long story short....
Embassy of India - Washington DC (http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/RTI.asp)
go to the above link, send them the letter with 10 Rs (20 cents) money order, explain your issue, explain the behavior of receptionist, and ask them why it happened like that..they will have to call you..that is the law..
I did the same thing...
UNLESS WE REPORT THEY WILL NOT CHANGE

Can we form a Human Chain protest across the major cities of the country at a predefined date and time. for instance, say Nov 9th between 11.AM and 1 PM.
This way more local people, across the country, can participate and as the timing is around lunch hours, I presume many of us can get back to work within the two hour duration.
May be this decentralized & concerted effort in all major cities/states across the country at a specified time may gather main stream media attention.
This is just a thought...
-iOptimist
Human Chain is a great idea...imagine a chain acroos all the major streets of NY city, we will definately get a lot of media attention....but it will need a lot of people

did any one receive a rebate check like this?
Gurus,
I applied for tax return with my cousin as dependent. I am H1B on a project working for MNC, spouse in H4 and my cousin is doing his MS on F1. Since my wife has only ITIN, my understanding is that there is NO stimulus payment for me and my cousin will loose his $300 as he is claimed as dependent. last week, my cousin got a letter from dept of treasury that his stimulus payment is on the way and sure enough, couple of days later, a check for $300 is waiting for him.
Is this normal that a person with a SSN who filed his return as dependent get stimulus benefit? just checking if anyone else got one like this.. does this mean I can expect $300 for myself being on H1B with SSN also?
thanks for any suggestions..

If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill.
Who are they?, they do not have any voice or vote anywhere. They are ILLEGAL, they broke the law.
Are you kidding me? You think that undocumented are not represented in Washington? You think that DREAM act has no sponsors?
Well, I have news for you. Durbin and 2 other senators are going to try to add DREAM to DoD appropriations bill this week. It may not pass but it doesnt mean that there are no supporters or sponsors of DREAM, AgJobs etc. Every single component of CIR has a champion in congress.

There are total 27 EB3-I approvals on since Oct'2008. In 6 months, only 27 approvals is not a good number.
Does anybody know why USCIS is not touching EB3-I aggressively and are we close to using all EB3-I for this year already?
Thanks.
Yes 27 EB3-I approvals seems pretty low. Hopefully DOS would move EB3-I cut off date in May.

Arunmurthy, Please dont drag UP/Bihar. Bihari are proud indian too. I am not bihar but narrow minded guy like you talk all this nonsense. People from south may be educated, techy but very discrimating and hyprocrate. Most sound indian just hang out on their identity group and we all know if non south indian and south indian go to interview for tech job and person taking interview is from south, who gets job?
I was not dragging all UP/Biharis in the discussion.
What I mean was that since PSaxena is from UP/Bihar, he should not bring bad name to UP/Bihar by using abusive language.
Regarding interview, I think if a South Indian is smarter than North Indian, he will get the job no matter who is taking the interview.

It is terrible that AF treated its customer like a piece of Shi$. I have never flown nor shall ever fly in that crap airline.
I would like to suggest one thing here. We (Indians), mostly, and I dont mean to generalize here, don't bother to "WRITE" letters to the company to express our dissatisfaction or frustration. Partly to blame for this attitude is because of the system we grew up in India where even if you complain we don't get any response, mostly. The customer service is lacking. So, in that mind set we most often feel its the same with other countries.
But I strongly feel, sending a letter to express our outrage would definitely bring a positive change. The Govt. of India, should intervene but, lets not keep up the high hope, its not going to happen....they are all busy making money to buy land, home, comercial complex, marry their daughters and sons extravagantly and endless greed. So, realistically, the Indian Govt. is not going to intervene. Shame on them!!!
Moving forward, I strongly urge all the folks in this thread who had a bad experience to write to AF and vent out your frustration and pledge not to fly with them ever again, and those of us who heard this story, just send an a mail to express the shock and question if we could also face the same situation should we decide to fly in AF.
The poster who send a mail to AF with the "B" word, I applaud him. He even got a response!!! Wow!! that's the magic and strength of writing. Trust me it works. Just write to the airline, expressing or venting out your frustration. Just one line is enough, if you think its not worth the time.
I felt like writing this comment because I don't want to be discriminated or treated differently(badly) because of my ethnicity or color.
So, my friends, please go to this link (AF Suggestions page) and let them know your feelings.

I was also told that there is new law which requires that the PERM fees should be paid by the employer (around 5-6k). Most desi consultancies used to ask the employees to pony up the labor fees. wonder how this will affect the conversion process.
I called couple of Desi consultancies..and they told me that lot of thier I-140's aqre getting rejected in this conversion drama...since they are looking for finanacials of the companies and looking for $3 mil of profits..? well do you have anybody who successfully converted from Eb-2-3 please IM me which companies I could contact...
