Could be -ve too .We will all be surprised if we see a +ve movement.
We have been watching VBs ever since Jan 2005 when priority dates were added.

All - C 1/1/2005

IN - 1/1/2002 7/1/2001
ME - C 7/1/2002
PH - 1/1/2002 1/1/2005
ROW has shown some progress, but CH, IN, ME is behind what was in 2005. Thats almost 4 years after re-introduction of priority dates.
We need a solution now.

Gandhiji has a kind of magic, which can't describe in words. I don't agree with a logic that people wanted good leader and they accepted him without question.
At that time, returning British viceroy always advising incoming viceroy not to personally meet Mr. Gandhi, otherwise he will emotionally trap you. He had real magical power.
Gandhi was a great man no questions, he had the all the intellectual, personal and spiritual qualities required to lead the nation. With those qualities alone, he could not have convenced more than half a dozen people. The nation at that time was in need of a leader like him. When they found the right man, the followed without questions.

We had around 17 highly charged up and dedicated IV members who definiitely want to do "something".
There was a diverse crowd this time. We had F1 students, who are now beginning to understand the gravity of this issue. One student is a student in Journalism and is currently doing project in legal immigration.
One physician came all the way from Connecticut and his wife another physician doing residency came all the way from Long Island and our dedicated leader mpadapa came all the way from Poughkeepsie.
Me and another family came from Queens. Some were from Manhattan.
Almost everyone else resided in New Jersey.
'laborchic' was the man behind this meet and greet and his enthu never went down, he always stood up and adressed the gathering. He stressed on the importance of Unity, which the community lacks.
mapdapa discussed about local law maker meetings. He has been managing and scheduling local lawmaker meetings. Almost everyone instantly offered to meet their lawmakers - but definitely with training and some direction and efficient management.
Me, mpadapa, singhsa3, siravi and laborchic were explaining to folks the importance of IV, our goals, plans etc...
One of them was a "Birthday Boy". He accompanied his sister and brother in law whose IV handle "sweet23guyin"
We had ndbhatt, healing_wong, dressking, supermann, frankiesaysrelax, devillion696 who also actively participated.
In addition, logiclife's email newsletter got us a few more people and I do not have their IV handles, they are Badri, Tejesh, Alpesh, Sailesh.
One guy (Alpesh) was a part of San Jose rally and was an active member in the CA chapter and recently moved to NYC.
Maya is a beautiful place for a evening drink and a snack and discuss things - only drawback was that they played music that was loud, and we had to ask them to reduce the volume. The snacks were very good.
Based on the feedback over past few days and also based on some feedback about local meetings in general
Everyone wants to have a Saturday afternoon meeting in New Jersey.
The meeting must be in a conference hall or a banquet hall and have parking facilities.
One or two core members must be present
Training for law maker meets must drive the entire session with other stuff also being discussed in between.
Educating people about IVs goals and the hard work IV does in the background is a must in every chapter meeting.
We all decided that we will be active from now on, if we were not active earlier. We will build a strong State chapter.
Those who were in the "meet and Greet" yesterday - please post your experience - we all took turns and spoke and shared ideas - do please post your experience and your views.

If you want OCI, there are a few hoops to jump through -
1. Apply for an Indian passport first.
2. Once the Indian passport is issued, apply for the US passport.
3. Return the Indian passport after the US passport is issued. The consulate should return the Indian passport back to you, but keep a photocopy in case they don't.
4. Now you can apply for OCI on the grounds that your son once held an Indian passport.

This has been very elusive for us since 2005. It has been sorta near and never happened at every occasion in the past.
I wonder why Bush is not asking for CIR in Lame Duck. I mean, he pushed for it hard.

Everything ok between you and the "gawd"?
"gawd" .. look what you started between us :D:D:D
It appears that you are cracking a joke, but I cannot stop from replying to your post. Why are you asking God to save IV? For the things we cannot do or for the things we dcon't understand, why do we always have to bring in 'God' in the picture? Can't we even crack a joke without brining in God?
I am just trying to prevent world war III on these forums. Thats why my request for not referring "God'. We will all be much more happier funnier and peaceful if we try not to bring in 'God' in the mix.
Next thing you will see, someone will post - "God, when will the VB dates move for my category".

Guys
Don't worry about this bill being rejected. I am pretty sure one way or the other they need to increase the EB visa number soon, else definetely USCIS will be in big trouble with thousands of applications sitting there for them, now having said that USCIS will find a way to get some bill which will have EB visa count increased passed in congress, so untill then cheer up and complete your filing.:) :) :)
Do you mean just wait and hope for better....just wondering...
I dont understand Hillary
She recently announced in her campaign that she will increase the H1B visas
She also made a statement that she will try for more benefits for permanent residents.
She does not want to support only the people who are in the process of immigration???
Whats up with that.
May be she is afraid of Lou Dobbs...Recently he has been criticizing her for her Indian ties
or may be she is pro Rich Indian Americans ... this might sound ridiculous but her voting ney is crazy
They always comment about us stealing the middle class jobs...tell me one case where they don't prefer US citizen over immigrant.
I have been interviewing for couple of companies ...the first question they ask is ...Are you US citizen 2nd question r u Permanent resident ..no..
Then we are sorry.
Companies do not prefer US citizens over Immigrants...I don't know where this misconception comes in to play...
There was a guy in our office who used to complain about Chineese and Indians stealing jobs...Believe he is a big slacker ..he recently got fired...people like him form these programmers guilds.
We do not work for less and we are not paid less...may be they deduct our Gc expenses but not much
Why is there a misconception about us?
Lets get this thought out of these bone heads
We are not middle class job stealers...We are the building blocks of a strong middle class

USCIS has a habit of dodging every prediction that is made here. I think there is only one rule in USCIS : "There is no rule". People behave and do the things they want and we spend tons of time and effort calculating the numbers and all that they do is print the bulletin according to the "mood of the day"

Lunch is supposed to be taken at cafeteria not at cubicles.It doesnt matter whether it's curry or burger.Both smell bad.
The project where I worked in the past does not have a cafeteria at all. All my friends/colleagues used to eat at their cubicles only. Is there some kind of unofficial rule that you have to eat at a cafeteria. I feel most small companies do not have a cafeteria. I've seen in different projects that I worked, most employees whether desi or somebody else ate at their cubicles only.

Yes, there are laws that protect you regardless of your immigration status but how many H1 workers (who btw are non-immigrants, not immigrants) can we find here who have actually gone to the courts? Protection is really limited for an h1 worker. Your status in the country depends on your employer what are the chances you will sue the employer?
Quote by user somegchuh: "I think this is a very interesting topic. Neelima's story is about an American citizen of Indian origin. Since, she is an american she can choose to go to courts whereas we are non-immigrants with very few rights. If you are facing abuse at workplace the only solution for an H1B worker is to change jobs."
Even if you are an immigrant but as long as you are subject to the law of UnitedStates you have every right to fight discrimination and other actions that you percieve are illegal. Even Illegal immigrants can do that. It is there in one of the ammendments.

Like the other guy you said, I have an equity of 200,000 in one house and 50,000 in other house. I still don't have green card. I have around 300,000 in
401k and 150,000 in brokerage accounts. My net worth is around 800k, most of my money is in this country. If I want to continue my lifestyle, I need my GC, that will secure my right to live in this country. AFter 9 years of tax paying and law abiding life, I think i have a right to live in this country, but with this stupid laws don't know when i will get my GC.
I don't know other things about your life but about 100% of H1-B holders that I know just dream of being 0.8 millionare.
Also, one thing I find conflictng is that we all claim so much having right to be in this country as Mihir mentioned, plan a retirement home in India or other home countries. But I have seen so many Indians with GC mentioning that they want to go back to India as soon as they become citizen . Honestly if I am in USCIS and know this, I am gonna make it as tough as possible for that ethnic group to get GC's.
As far as the question of spouse working or not, hell I do not want to work myself given a chance, why would someone feel bad about not being able to work, as log as we can provide them with all they want (Not only all they need).

Nothing. Even you loose $20 bill everymonth, it won't be a big deal or even if you get it everymonth by way of incentive, not a big deal. :p
One of my friend told me that he got his labour certification approved yesterday, I said "Welcome to the world of frustation" where there is no entry fee but an exit fee is $20 a month.
I think if all of us (Existing contributors) could succeed in getting one more contributor then we would be double in number very soon.

This my personal take on it, I want a GC, i have been in this country for the past 8 years, landed in 2001 finished my masters and have been employed since then. Life is good here, well thats what i think, sometimes better than home (i still call, because i was born there), i am not dissatisfied with the money i am making, although i think i get underpaid (i work in southern calif as permanent employee).
I came to this country so that i can survive in life, i.e. too much competition in India which means you need to really work hard to keep up with the competition (i am really lazy :D) , now with the fight for GC and all, added with the daily stress and chores, i am really thinking is the effort worth the reward, i keep getting this thoughts, i mean i am the only one with the thought that the effort/patience/sacrifice is not equal to the result ?.
I really wonder if all this is worth it, the stress is just too much. Reading other's stories makes me laud their patience, i know my struggle has just started, kudos to others who are still holding on :)

Wow PCS, your case is great example!!!
I vote for PCS
I agree...PCS seems like an excellent candidate for this need.
Without delaying further...someone from the IV team can take this up IMMED...so that the ground work can be done in preparing for the testimony.
Appreciate the great work being done by IV!!
