because we have some so called important members like who are nothing but plain MORONs
Well only members who are working for the good for the the whole EB community(Read My GC)
Not some stupid highly educated person who does not have any education in humanity but thinks he deserves GC before others because he is superior than them
PlainSpeak aka annshiela79 aka annsheila79
I have seen all your fight and how you were helpful for the EB community. Specially that skill with which you have single handedly killed the fund raising for the advocacy day. You are a bliss for this community. :D
Now come back as annshiela79 and start the bashing...
P.S: Your communication is pathetic at best...I couldnt believe you have got your MBA from a US business school. Is is it TVU...are you one of those elite 1500 students from that great state. Take a break from IV and spend time to improve your communication. No one is giving GC for your hightly educated humanity (you are a disgrace for the humanity though)...what a piece of crap you are. Havent you ever ashamed yourself for being a stupidest person on earth. May be you are too stupid to understand you are a stupid. Its a bliss and admire you for that.

give me the GC, I will definitely follow the rules.
Well, yes, in case it is not clear enough, the whole point of this discussion, beginning with the very title "Life after GC", is indeed about following certain rules only after you get GC, and until then you are certainly welcome to ignore them :)

Yes but do note you do not have endless time to file a complaint. I don't know how many months you have to file a complaint after leaving your job but I know for sure there is a time limit.
QUOTE]
I think its 3 years from the event, that you have to file a complaint. If its past 3 years, you cannot file the complaint. The event may be such as you left the employer and your employer withheld your last paycheck(very common issue with desi consultants) in the name of covering your H1 expenses etc.

Couple of my friends, who have 3 year degrees from India and also have 2 year Masters degree from India, have not been able to apply for EB2. Their lawyers suggested that 3 year degree are a hindernace to get EB2. They both have not tried applying for EB2 and both have active EB3 applications.

thanks for explaining. my suggestion then is to go to school on F1 (maybe ?) and get a degree that can help him/her get a job that qualifies under H1b.
Our main goal to solve the retrogression problem.
Since you can study under H4 you cannot apply for F1 (My wife tried that already) :)

My Lawyer will change only $150 more for refiling...
www.gowda.com
My lawyer was not prompt enough to mail the applications by July 2 and after USCIS issue new update, they decided not to file as it will be rejected. In light of the lawsuits, below is the response I got from them?
"In light of the currently pending class action lawsuit against USCIS and numerous requests to file for Adjustment of Status despite the unavailable visa numbers, we have decided to do the following with regards to current filing of adjustments:
If you have an older priority date (EB-2 or EB-3) such as 2004 or earlier, it would most likely be a waste of your time and money to file your adjustment now. It could take over a year and a half (if not longer) for a decision to be reached in the lawsuit, and chances are that your priority date would come current before then, making you eligible to file your adjustment.
If you have an newer priority date (EB-2 or EB-3) such as 2005/6 or later, it may be beneficial to file the adjustment now and become part of the class action lawsuit, but this is just speculation. In any case, the initial filing would be outwardly denied and no immediate benefit would come of it. Even if the lawsuit had a favorable outcome, you will have to refile the adjustment at the time of the court's decision, which would incur more legal fees. Again, it could take over a year and a half (if not longer) for a decision to be reached in the lawsuit, and your priority date could come current before then, making you eligible to file your adjustment and making the lawsuit a big waste of time and money.
Ultimately it is your decision as to what you want to do. We are willing to file your case now if you so wish. Please note that our office will be charging full legal fees for each time the adjustment is filed. The full legal fee will be due upon the initial filing of the case, and again on any subsequent filings of the same case, whenever that may be, as all paperwork will have to be redone.
Please keep in mind that once we file your case, we can guarantee that it will be rejected immediately. You will receive no immediate benefit from filing this case. You will not be issued travel documents, and you will not be issued an EAD card."
So friends, what are you folks doing? Any thoughts or comments?
Regards.

Came to USA on H1B, paid for the H1B fees(at that time didn't know it was illegal to do so)
however after coming here , Paid for my own ticket and landed here on start of january 2011.
Confirmed my arrival to the employer too. Since my leaving the home country there has not been any mail correspondence from the employer , though i have been writing many. Talked to him over the phone and he said he wasn't responsible for my arrival as he doesn't have any project for me. Waited to get another job as a H1B TXFR but stuck with trnsfrs issues due to non availablity of paystubs from him.
I never reported to work as he said dont come to office, dont have any paystubs, but have all my H1B papers , I97 and Employment offer from that consultant. I have decided to leave back to my home country but not before reporting this blood sucker to DOL.
I need to clarify a few things before i nail these blood suckers
1. How long before i board my flight back home , should i send the documents to DOL
2. I have the originals of H1B filing and LCA and I94, are they rquired in originals
or copy to send to DOL
3. What other documents should i send alongwith
4. Do you think my case will get weaker if iam not here ? As i am flying back to my home country.
5. I dont want these suckers to go scott free, so how to build my case here , can i ask the DOL to recover my wages for 4 months i wasnt getting paid.
I do not care if i get any wages or not from them , but i really wanna see the locks on the gates of this company. They shouldn't take H1B and its applicant for scapegoats.
Any advices are welcome to help me bring these guys to justice.
Did you get the invitation letter addressed to the IO at POE by your employer. Why did he invite you here in the first place when there is no project.

I know many people are going to blast me and curse for after reading my post but I think NEw H1b , greencard applicaitons , or any other route that leads to GC should be banned for countries that are severly retrogressed in EB category ...same for the FB based new applications....Doesn;t make sense..one side US business needs H1s so they fight to get it in thier favor but on other side the life of these H1b / L1/L2 guys becomes miserable the moment they get in the GC line.....

I don't think there's a difference in time for EB-2, EB-3 or EB-1 labors. Its takes anywhere from 1 week to 2-3 months. My company filed 2 labors simultaneously one for me and one for a collegue. My friend's got approved next day(less than 24 hrs) mine took 70-80 days.
By the way, How long it takes to get EB2 labor these days?

He hates Illegals and not legal immigrants. I almost have heard him everyday going back home from work and all the time I have heard him saying there are people who legallly coming here for work that he supports. He always has been against "Amnesty" to Illegal Immigrants.
It may be worth a try. Its up to you seniors if you feel its not worth it.
I am not senior in any way; seniority is based on the number of posts. I just expressed my opinion. He is certainly better than people like Lou.

After reading through all the posts at IV, I've decided to get the Atlas America Medical insurance for my parents. This is the only comprehensive insurance I could find and most others have limited coverage. The cost is around $900 for 3 months for a $500000 policy with $2500 deductible.
Could members who had this insurance post their experience?
Also, is there any other comprehensive plan available for visitors?
we used IMG international's/sirius international patriot america with a $250 decutible 90/10, for 50K...
one thing I noticed is this company takes a long time ( most other visitor insurance companies too I suspect) for settling cliams..we still have a claim not settled since for a one in december and most of these dont cover pre existing conditions and they are very very restrictive.. however there are some insuranc companies who provide a rider for pre existing conditions for an extra dough..
just make sure to call them for any major visit (hopefdully not needed but in any case) , the one above we got was a comprehensive NOT a limited one..still I think these insurance carriers in my opinion do their best to delay the claim and do whatever they can to sneak up on you with a surprise
I would love to hear from members who had a great CLAIMS experience (not price) with any visitor ins carrier..

I suggest that you remove the glass house proverb. It makes the letter look a little unprofessional. Your letter without it is already very effective. Also put the "H1-B workers are illegal" quote (if there was such statement made on his show) at the top while you put across your objection. If such statement wasn't made but implied by the guest on CNN, don't put that in quotes.

For that matter nothing is an achievement. if Some one gets a baby everyone greets him. Is that an achievement? If you buy a house you are happy. Is that an achievement? For some people coming to US was an achievement. Some people think getting a green card. We see all congratulation message when someone get his GC.
So Please be broad minded. It may be nothing for you. But for some people it is an achievement. People like me are happy by achieving small things. This may nothing for you But it is good reason for the celebration for the people like us.
Great achievement . Guys are not able to get GC in 10 years and this guy has got Citizenship in 10 year.

First of all Congratulations desi#### and thanks for continuing to support IV.
Interesting discussion going on. Yes, I agree that most of us here are waiting for our GC and some of them go on to become US Citizens.
I believe that becoming a citizen of any country is a person's choice, so let us not give desi### a hard time here.:o
But I certainly do not think it is an 'achievement' to get a US citizenship, just because it implies indirectly it is an 'achievement' to let go off Indian citizenship. Nothing meant to offend you desi#### but it hurts when one reads such a statement somewhere deep inside the mind. But hey, as I said earlier, to each his own and noone should be judging others in their decisions.
And it is not only Indians becoming US citizens every year. There are others too.
Personally, even with all the advantages as stated above of being a US citizen, I will never let go of my Indian passport. Even if the authorities give it to me tomorrow in a lottery;) Never.
Why? Because my identity, my rich heritage, my family roots, my parents, my culture everything is Indian and am proud of it. There are lot of sentimental and emotional attachments. I was going through the OCI articles today after reading this discussion.
It is not exactly a dual citizenship. Some clauses are no voting rights! No Indian Passport!
Getting a GC is another thing, but when I decide to go back after a couple of years, I would definitely want to retain my voting rights. ! I rest my case.
I totally understand the emotional point of someone being want to be a Indian Citizen but I have to stress there is no other country in the world like U.S.A. This is the country where every human being is treated with utmost respect (don't try to show me exceptions - U.S. is a country where most of things are close to being perfect imaginatively), have freedom to say anything they want without getting intimidated and U.S is a country I believe will be the last bastion for humanity when terrosists/fundamentalists spread their tentancles and take over the world by force or other means (if not now probabbly in the next 100-150 years). Hypocrisy is relatively less. We Indians live in a dream world nurtured by the Indian politicians, who try to inject doses of patriotic non-sense into the masses while they themselves stove away million of dollars in Swiss banks. 70% of Indian population lives below poverty line and the educated masses of India think that their country will become a super power by 2020. Politicians like Mayawati play caste politics and dream of taking the top most post while our liberal media, without a wee-bit of shame, extends its highest support for them. Corruption is part of our daily life and we are part of the everyday corruption but we still find no fault in our society. Our population growth is beyond control while not a single politician is concerned about the stress it is going to create on our natural resources in the future. Our education system is in shambles but our great politicians fight for increasing the reservation system to different castes just for the sake of garnering more votes. And the list goes on. Alas���God help India.
FYI: I am a Indian and haven't even started my greencard process, for the same emotional reasons you mentioned, intending to R2I soon. Given a choice and circumstances, I would have opted for U.S.C as "I have no hope for this world neither do I wish for it" - quoting Bhagawan Krishna from Bhagavad Gita.

Boy, you are two kinds of crazy
1) You ignored the point people have life and do things to be happy in life. You choose a job that makes you happy. Then apply for GC either EB3 or EB2.
You say you have chosen PHD, and you came out low on money. What were you smoking when you chose Phd and also thought you would make money?
2) I cannot change my classification and port it like it is my application. Because simply it is not. At the same time I do not want to leave my 6 figure job with benefits ( yeah you heard it right and damn right I worked hard for it like you did for your Phd)
And yeah India is a great country and would love to go back someday, but not today. Irony is I know for a fact that I will have better life in India than in US given my family background. But I will not let any struggle in my life go waste.
PS: I have a US Masters with a 4.0. I have got offers for Phd which I chose not to do because it does not interest me.
..."who were qualified for EB2 but applied in EB3. " ...Exactly my point. Technically I am qualified for EB1 but filed as EB2, hence i need to play by the rules governing EB2. Now if i begin lamenting that I am qualified for EB1 which is current and life is unfair since i am in EB2, how much sense would that make? My point is Don't crib if EB3 is retrogressed...use the system and become EB2, port your priority date, which is ofcourse dependent upon finding an EB2 job !!! All of this nonsense .."i pray someone does something for EB3" is going to get no one anywhere !! Fight for comprehensive immigration reform or HR 5882 recapture BUT for god's sake Do not blame the EB2 - India people who have played by the rules and are in a favorable position today relative to EB3 !!
The lawsuit against PD porting makes sense from an EB2 perspective and they are right to go ahead with it. Porting your PD from EB3 to EB2 makes sense from an EB3 perspective and every EB3 should try to do it before this door closes, if it does.

Now if i begin lamenting that I am qualified for EB1 which is current and life is unfair since i am in EB2, how much sense would that make? My point is Don't crib if EB3 is retrogressed...use the system and become EB2, port your priority date, which is ofcourse dependent upon finding an EB2 job !!! All of this nonsense .."i pray someone does something for EB3" is going to get no one anywhere !! Fight for comprehensive immigration reform or HR 5882 recapture BUT for god's sake Do not blame the EB2 - India people who have played by the rules and are in a favorable position today relative to EB3 !!
The lawsuit against PD porting makes sense from an EB2 perspective and they are right to go ahead with it. Porting your PD from EB3 to EB2 makes sense from an EB3 perspective and every EB3 should try to do it before this door closes, if it does.

Mr. Dobbs is known for his strong views against immigrants, including considering immigrants to be responsible for the spread of incurable diseases such as Drug-resistant Tuberculosis, Leprosy etc. From past experience on CNN, he is also highly likely to blame the current crisis in Auto Industry to the so-called "importation of cheap labor from third world countries".
Lou Dobbs Tonight 03/28/2007 (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0703/28/ldt.01.html): "It's pretty remarkable. Four hundred thousand H1 visas each year."
From How many H-1B visa workers? Counts vary (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=114543&postcount=737) VALLEY EMPLOYERS AMONG TOP USERS By Chris O'Brien (cobrien@mercurynews.com or (415) 298-0207) | Mercury News, 07/15/2007
The federal government awarded 124,096 H-1B visas in the fiscal year ending October 2005, the most recent annual totals available. That includes renewed visas, which don't count against the annual cap.
From Characteristics of Specialty Occupation Workers (H-1B): Fiscal Year 2005 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/H1B_FY05_Characteristics.pdf)
Page 5: Number of H1B petitions approved for initial employment is 116,927. The number of approved petitions exceeds the number of individual H-1B workers because more than one U.S. employer may file a petition on behalf of an individual H-1B worker.
