The problem is, that for all my efforts, people just don't seem to care. The only reason I had any success was the embarrassment I caused the government because of all the soldiers who were excluded. Immigrants in the US are viewed by most people as an unwanted scourge.
My employer has also been no help at all. I have been looking for work outside of the US, but unfortunately, the economic situation makes that a bit more challenging. Sorry if I sound pessimistic. That is just my personal experience.
I agree with you, immigrants (legal or illegal) will always be viewed inferior in this country and we will always be immigrants. I am not sure if I want this tag with me, my kids, their kids all their lives. Sometimes I wonder if this GC path is even worth it. Going through so much trouble every time there is renewal, there is stamping, stamping delays, so much scrutiny, no certainity of coming back once you visit home country, so much even after living here for 6 years and now this back log.
If you read any news on immigrants and read comment section after it, you will realize the hate from people here in this country. Is it really worth it to live in this country, when people here do not want to accept us? No acceptance in community, such high crime. Yes sure there will be some exceptions along the way who will rise to top.
Just to point out the difference the amount of celebration among blacks after Obama won. Was there such kind of celebration after Sonia won or Manmohan became PM from their communities? This shows the kind of differences people have. I am not saying things in India are great, or else I would not be here. Just wondering on my random thoughts if its even worth it.

IV core group has done and continues to do a wonderful job. Many of us have to realise that this issue is MUCH MUCH larger than us. A nation is trying to decide what its immigration policy will be for the next generation. Furthermore this time its policy may even decide its ethnic majority in due course.
At times like this there will be a lot of opposing viewpoints and we should be grateful that our viewpoint will atleast be heard. Other than that, there is not a damn thing we can do. Ultimately only birthright will allow you to challenge for citizenship.
Many of us are frustrated for a variety of reasons but in the end pestering the IV core group is no help to them nor for our cause especially. I suggest we stop doing that and spare them the time explaining these issues to us, to doing other tasks which might be more useful.
Many of us have lost a lot in this process. I personally cannot even calculate what I have lost as a result of this waiting. However, it is a sacrifice I have to be ready to make if I truly want the priviledge of living here. Our humility and continued contribution to life in this country in the end will win over supporters.
If you notice, despite all the bad press about illegals, despite 9/11, the majority of americans are still pro legal immigrants, we are largely to credit for this, along with the pride they have in their forefathers who made the same journey.
It will take time, but whatever happens with CIR, I am quite certain that within the next 12-18 months there will be some relief for us legal immigrants waiting in the queue. It is the way it has always been.
I suspect relief for us will come with H1b visa relief, since the other truth of american politics is that lobbying is a big big deal here and corporate america runs this country de facto.

Matthew OH is playing with words since yesterday. I am not even sure if he knows what he is talking about. Did you guys read the stuff about 485 filing. The phrase "Untangling the tangled mess" was mentioned 3-4 times. After reading his notices, one has to wonder what the heck is he talking about.

Ok..I know I should read thru the older posts, but didnt get a sense of what is required in my case, so I am posting the question online.
My wife was on her independent H1B. she travelled out side the country and was readmitted on H1b. After that she turned in her 2 weeks notice and has started working for another company on her EAD.
We have not applied for our AP previously.
My question is this:
In Part 1 , Q3
Class of Addmission
Should she put H1B (last admitted as)
or would it be Adjustment of Status (since she is using EAD)
Also, what kind of supporting documents need to be sent?
I-485 copy
EAD Copy ( yes/ no)
I-94 H1B issued at POE (yes/no)
2 passport sized photographs?
anything else?
Class of admission is last admission on port. That should be H1B.

is UNLIKELY to pass at least in its current form. Public hospitals, underserved area clinics, Universities are not Google and Oracle!!! They'll go under if they have to pay 5000 $ for H1Bs. People probably don't have the faintest idea under what kind of financial strain these are. There will be exemptions for universities and non-profit organizations.
Just so that you know, Medical education is taken out of the eligibility criteria for H-1B visa with this new bill. They will have to go through J-1 strictly.

I just went through the number of members in the IV org. To my surprise I found 21,353 members. If atleast each of the member contribute atleast $5, we could easily hit above $100,000. But I am sure we all can contribute far more than $5.
What a shame that the educated highly qualified H1B holders who haven't contributed anything so far don't get it. Come on guys/girls contribute in some way...come to the rally or sponsor someone if you can't make it or atleast contribute some money. You don't want to feel guilty all throughout your life thinking you were just a free-rider.
Take advantage of this great opportunity, BECAUSE OPPORTUNITY LOST IS LOST FOREVER. IT SELDOM KNOCKS TWICE.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks.
Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.

You will be surprised that even with the restrictions H1b cap will be reached but not in one day or one month but within an year as demand will be there. These restrictions will impact only Indian bodyshoppers who are running just by H1b. Though H1b will be costly if CIR in the same form is passed but Most of good companies will overcome. So if you want to relative number of gc then you need to increase Gc by atleast 50 to 100% from current level.
Well..if thats the case they seem to have gotten a bad deal cause even togh the H1B visas will increase - there is still the $5000 inc in fee with other restrictions on consulting, removal of dual intent plus the Sanders amendment that deals with layoffs - these conditions nullify whatever the inc in numbers is

Impossible to catch up with you:)
But NORCAL did collect 92 over the last weekend. I collected 40 of those (takes me to 197), the reason to mention this is, it is way too easy for anyone to do this, and people better had strong reasons to not do it!

This is a basic supply and demand issue.
When H1-B yearly cap is getting used up within days, what is the reason for allowing H-4 to work.
The only way you would see a change in the rule is when there are not many H1-B takers, and they need to attract more families.
Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to say H-4s should not be given the oppertunity. Just think in terms of the need for this country. Not our personal needs.

No. What I am saying is that this is a good amendment that can help us. But if its introduced and voted upon, it will fail to pass in the Senate because this amendment has a H1B exemption and H1B quota increases are very very unpopular and controvertial since last few years.
Therefore the achilles heel (Weak portion that will cause failure) of this good amendment is the H1B quota trick attached at the end. The amendment may pass the senate with a majority vote if it doesnt have H1B quota exemptions in it.
IV position since the beginning of this debate has been to ride either an H1B Bill or to tag along with Illegals.....Both of which have come back to bite us now....Hopefully we are able to get EB retrogression issued resolved now that we are left in lurch.....

Well, it's time to break the news.:p I didn't attend the rally because
(1) the first and foremost reason: a recent surgey at my backbone , and I may not be able to walk for more than 15 minutes continuously.
(2) the second and honest opinion: Even If I were doing well, I wouldn't have attended the rally due to the yelling-nature of words from some of the Core leaders, and their pushy messages.
(3) the third and final point: The rally pictures and the rally experience of other members have impressed me very much and have totally changed my mind. So, next time, whereever you organize the rally, I will be there.:p
This is my honest opinion about my abscence. I hope noone will jump on me for my reasoning.
Regards,
IK
do not want to jump in here but inskrish disappoints me very much.
i have engaged with him more than once. he complains about someone or the other being rude on a non-stop basis. i would like to hear from him which core members has yelled and posted pushy messages. most of us desist from such actions most if not all of the time. actually he probably has no clue who core members are. after all it's not announced on the July 2 filers thread. in the past inskrish walked around with a red square to his name and accused me of being responsible for it. maybe he needs to see how many comments he gets in his user cp. interestingly enough i may be responsible for the green. this kind of passive aggressive behavior is not going to be of any help whatsoever to us.
i'm glad to hear he has a change of mind. but i will believe it when i see it. so far i see no change in the constantly complaining-accusing tone from him. words matter. constantly putting down others and acting superior is not constructive to an effort that is voluntary- each one of us- and certainly you franklin- have given up a lot to push this effort forward. words from the likes of inskrish do make me wonder why we bother.
