I want to bring out the plight of legal immigrant community that has been silently suffering the consequences of a broken immigration system. It really baffles me that all the focus in immigration debate is on ILLEGALS when highly educated LEGAL immigrants who play by the rules, pay taxes and follow the law are left in the lurch. Attending to legal immigrants plight will also send a positive signal to the ILLEGAL community to see the perks of being LEGAL. Right now, it seems more rewarding to be ILLEGAL than pursue the LEGAL route towards immigration. What an irony!
The country based quotas imposed on Employment Based green cards are not only unfair but self defeating because the benchmark is country of origin and not qualification! Since these EB category based green cards are awarded for professional skills, imposing a country based quota just does not make any sense. I urge you to work with Congress and change this discriminatory policy and reinforce that America is truly a society that celebrates meritocracy.
The immigrant community is really looking at President Obama to deliver on his promise of CHANGE - Change that we can believe in.
good initiative ..I have sent the email and I will be asking my wife to call all her friends and spread the word. guys do the same.
I also mentioned that I wanted to buy a house since a long long time but I cannot buy because of gc delays

Do this: Be happy with what you already have and expect (don�t worry) more good things in life. Just compare with somebody who doesn't even have food, clothes, shelter, health care, etc... in their lives.
You are VERY fortunate to make it to US and living a decent life than most of the Indians.
Cheer up....
Yup, i went back to my homecountry in February after 10 years away from home and trust me, our lives here are good. People back there will trade your place in a heartbeat. Just be glad that you are in the pipeline for a PR.

Hi,
I am joining new job using AC21 provision coming monday. My new employer does not provide medical insurance for the first month. I am eligible for after I complete 1 month.
So my question is: till the time I get medical coverage from new employer (approx. 20 - 30 days), can I invoke COBRA? I heard that one can not invoke COBRA if he or she is employed (only meant for un-employement) is this true?
Also, should I call my current insurance company for COBRA now, or I can wait if I really need to visit a doctor? is there a grace period for this? Because there is a possiblity that I may never would have to visit a doctor for next 20-30 days, but who knows!
Appreciate your answers.
As per my knowledge:
You can take up to 60 days to submit COBRA forms.Apply for COBRA only when you used Doctors/Hospitals in these 20-30 days.If don't use doctors/hospitals in these 20-30 days you don't need insurance.You'll automatically get insurance from new company after 20-30 days.

...........and the point you're trying to make is???
If you don't want a GC, why are you on this forum and making anti-GC statement. A pro-GC person would agree with this statement unequivocally.
Read my statement again and tell where I am saying anything against GC...since you said no other country is charging the immigrants for border security....I am saying US is the only country which gives millions GCs every year...so when you compare there is no comparison...

Great news. By some distance this is the best news on skilled immigration front this year. This will allow all the H4 dependents who have spent time on H4 for more than 6 years to start working if they get a job with H1B.
Where did you find this memo "the"? Is it already implemented or is this something USCIS is proposing?
so it is not a proposal and it is already effective.

Spindoc..
Even though your PD is current now it is almost like at the end of the line at 2006. I doubt that your GC will come soon in August - Sep timeframe unless you get real lucky ( with USCIS you never know ).
EB2 jumped two years for the Aug bulletin because DOS wants USCIS to utilize all the visa numbers. There is a high probability that it will retrogress to 2004 or maybe 2005 in October and then move as per visa availability.
I didn't want to sound pessimistic just realistic.
The only option I see is what has already been told above - H1 / H4

Please let me know your opinion. I have to file an appeal in next few days. Thanks for your help.
This is not good. Either USCIS is doing a terrible job or you gotta change lawyer!

Dear friends:
As the Past President of a PMI Chapter (PMP for the past 10 years and working in the field of Project management for the past 15 years) let me shed some light to this query.
Reasons why you should do PMP
1) If you believe you need a promotion, new job or rise the corporate ladder within the field of IT or management, take PMP.....Billing rate of PM's is $90-150/hr for consulting, full time could be from $100K-$250K. The next generation CIO's will be highly qualified PM's.
2) Job security for PMP's. The only job that will not be outsourced to India or China is that of a project manager.
3) PMP will help you get the project manager job, if you do not have one. However, become a Project Manager only if you like working with people. Trust me, if you hate politics and hate managing people, it is better for you to stay a techie. Your life will be miserable if you do not like managing people. Do something that you enjoy, rather than what you may hate. It is all about people and people management, rather than project management in the world of PMP's
4) PMP has become mandatory for all large gigs or projects. Small projects do not need PMP's and small projects do not pay well too.
5) PMP does not make you a better project manager. But PMP is needed by the industry. It is the experience that one gets from being on the field from different industries that makes one a good project manager.
I hope this should help some of you to make a decision to be a PMP or not.
2) Job security for PMP's. The only job that will not be outsourced to India or China is that of a project manager.
Wrong !!
I work for IBM and IBM just recently outsourced almost all the PM's and SDM's job to India only ( Not to China because of English speaking ability ).
IBM got tonnes of skilled MBA's with english speaking. As of now hardly I see any PM's from US during calls. But I admire you for all the other points. well said.

This is a really good initiative. I appreciate the IV core for taking this up. I have read enough stories from people on Murthy forums. I will ask people on those forums to post their stories first hand on IV forums.
If possible contact other forum moderators and post this message/link. We need more support to fix this issue.
Thanks for your support.

I too am receiving a lot of these questions on about pick-ups/ drop-offs. Can you please start a thread for that purpose?
Some people will be arriving on the day of rally and returning right after the rally. If something can be done to pick them up/ drop them off, please let us know. Thanks!
Ok, the thread title has been changed to include the transportation as well.

Lot of people love him. They believe him, his expressions, his anger, he manages to get the fire out of people using his rants.
If there is a media drive, I am sure other media will love to rape him and that may work against CNN and CNN will start watching things closely.
This can be just a start but I think we must target this guy - I am sure he will start turning tables and flip flop ...
Remember, America is all about law suits and every corporate makes itself immune from Lawsuit but youtube, google, internet and media is something they cannot immune themsleves from.

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.
Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...
Question remains open:
1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?
I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............
I would strongly suggest you read the history of civil rights legislation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
Compared to civil rights movement ours is much smaller in size and strength. Change happens very slow in a democracy.

I know many Indian students in my uni who have cheated and plagiarized and somehow graduated and then gone to these fraud consultants who applied for their h1-b.
Last year I knew at least few Desi masters students who were caught for plagiarism and suspended, but those guys/girls went to a desi fraud consultant who applied for their h1-b based on their bachelors while they were doing there their masters (they had no job, nothing) and guess what?.. they got it!
There are not many desi students at my uni, I have heard these things are very common and happen at a large scale at bigger schools. A lot them of don�t bother to really study because they know would somehow find a job and visa through a bodyshop consultant after they graduate. If these students could do a job, I think anyone in the world could do what they are doing,. no talent or skill is required!
These bodyshops consultant are just bad for everyone- for deserving students, schools and industries.
So I think bodyshops consultant should not be allowed to apply for h1-b at least.
You have nailed it! And it is most prevalent not at the big schools, but rather unnamed "teaching" schools. Absolutely rotten students join M.S. of these universities in hordes, and don't care/able to study. Works in gas pumps and grocery stores to pay for their bills/tuitions, in violation of F-1 regulations. And then get "H1-b" through these body-shoppers.
At the risk of repeating myself, I will say again: just one regulation preventing software consultancies (read: body-shoppers) will remove almost all woes against H1-B program and have a very positive effect on the GC queue in the next decade.
