I'm a South Indian and I have never had issues with Hindi or Hindi-speaking people. In fact, many of my friends are Hindi-speaking and I'm quite well-versed with the language as well (why not?). You cannot make a blanket statement saying that everyone speaking a particular language is rude or has bad attitude. Just goes to show one's ignorance.
Just look around and see what's keeping this country together? You can move from NY to LA without having to think twice. Try doing that back home ;)
THINK!
Again its personal choice, desire and necessity.

I am still not clear on what basis you can sue DOL? Is there any law that states that DOL should use FIFO or promises to process the labor within a certain number of days. Don't get me wrong. My case was also stuck in BEC for a long time so I can understand where you are coming from but still there seems to very little chance of winning this lawsuit. In fact it might even be tough to get any lawyer to take up this case.

First - EB2s stop replying posts that were written in frustration and you understand why, They will not affect and take away your GC. Since you are not frustrated you have to start first.
Second - EB3s - Frustration will never bring you anything and you can not move PD faster. Instead capatialize the situation that EB2s are getting GC. How you have to think and focus.
I can give my example. I made network of some who got GC and have some influence in recruiting. After working 9 years for a big Pharma and got layed off, My one buddy got GC long back in EB2 , helped me and received job through him though I have to drive 220miles everyday.
Am I frustrated yes!! More than anybody else here but has to calm down and think positivily.
Hope my post will help you to reduce some frustration.

Maybe this is a "grand scheme" to get people like us who are complaining about the current system to realize that our current system really rocks! (from what really bad nightmares it could be instead)!

I think my case is heights of all the Fragomen mistakes.My company approved budget for my case in April 2006.Fragomen started the process right off because they need the initial pay.Now after they did that they informed me that,I should not contact them for what so ever reason because it is aganist the law.Agreed.So I did not contact them for more than 10 months assuming everything is going on fine.Then in May(yep one month before all dates were current), I called to find out whether they filed my case.I was told they found an issue with my add and experience 10months (ago)and they forgot to inform my company or me.Because of them I was not able to file my 485 last year.This august its been 10years in US for me.From then I would tell anyone who talks to me,go with Fragomen you are screwed ,unless your case gets assigned to a desi guy in Fragomen you are screwed with Fragoment from start(its just my observation).

Got my approval but my spouse hasn't yet received one.
We e-filed it together through the same account. My LIN was constantly getting updated with the status but not my husband. I also received the notification when my application was approved. I got my approval in the mail today too (about 1 month turnaround time) .But we haven't received any notification on my husband's case. And the online status hasn't changed either. Did anybody else face this? Not sure how to follow-up. Any pointers?
Call the 1-800 number in the approval notice and select the options 1->7->4->3 and they will be able to help check the status of the application. You need the receipt no when you call them

but I did my bit because I could not attend. I was part of the rally that happened in San Jose.
Please try to understand the message I am conveying rather than making fun. Although I did have a hearty laugh :)
Its fine - just a gentle teasing, I meant not harm - sorry! That's why I'm so vocal on this board as I'm neither male nor Indian. I was actually glad to see that I wasn't the only at the rally so I didn't look like a total fool!

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.

Now thats unfair .... you are just using one part of the quote to distort the entire post ... The discussion and context of that statement was always on categories.... and was using that sentence as an example on categories...
The assumption was that readers would understand categories over individual qualifications/countries of origin in this context
If you destroy the context in which a statement is made it makes the entire post "look" bad and is disingenuous
Here is my entire post
"It does make sense that the overflow numbers are given to higher preference categories in single state oversubscribed countries. When you think about it, will that not be the most beneficial to United States? Who would you prefer .... and Unskilled professional from a ROW category or a skilled worker from an Oversubscribed country. I would gather it would make more sense to give the opportunity to the higher skilled since the benefit to US will be higher"
Your arugment would hold if there were no country limits.

AC 21 and EAD are two completely disjoint things.
You can invoke AC 21 and switch to a different job and you could either use your EAD to join the new emplyer or even transfer your h1b to the new employer.

Do we have any action plan yet? What can we do to include amendments for us? Is this too late now and all we need to do is to oppose CIR?
I know everybody is busy with 485 and so am I but we need to react now before it is too late.

You are right in acknowledging that you may be wrong. Where you may be wrong? Maybe your "opinion" that EB2 should be given GC first before a single EB3 is entertained. Maybe the first-come-first-served argument is the valid one after all.
How does "my" argument make sense? I say, ok, give priority to EB2, but only within the same year. So, last years' EB3 has to be allocated first, before this year's EB2/EB3 are considered. And for this year, dont process EB3's unless EB2's for this year are done
But, do you realize, all our opinions are moot? Come back to reality, and we immigrant community as a whole, get to ask only ONE wish. Using your wisdom, what should that one wish be? Ikken Hissatsu. Kill with one blow.
Ok sir.. I lose you won.. keep porting.

With a due respect, I am differ with your statement on Competeamerica. Competeamerica has always promoted H1B and EB provision together. I haven't seen any time that they promoted only H1B.
I spoke with one guy at Competeamerica and he told me that IV is neutral on H1B issue eventhough all members have came through that root. Personally I am very positive with Competeamerica and it is not good for us to speak negative for this organization.
I know CA promotes both , but issue is whether they do that equally.
I have a feeling h1b is more on agenda.
Just that you belive what they are saying....either way u will see when h1b gets increased without eb reform.

My Mother in law is severely sick, and my wife needs to travel asap. We need to get her AP, as it's expired.
1. Is there an urgent processing option for the AP? And how ?
2. Can she travel on the receipt of application, and I can send the AP document to her by FEDEX?
Thanks,
Just go to the USCIS office even if you do not get an infopass. Go with I-485 receipt, 2 passport size photos. If you go first thing in the morning, you might be able to get the AP issued to you the same day. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A LETTER FROM THE HOSPITAL/DOCTOR STATING HER CONDITION. It can be a faxed copy.

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.
