You get what you pay for, in a way.
I am indifferent towards AI since I have traveled only once on AI & my experience was reasonable.
However, I found this article in TOI today -
NEW DELHI: In a show of compassion towards a bereaved passenger who had to rush to Chennai but was short of cash, Air India officials at the Indira
Gandhi International airport here pooled in money to pay for his ticket.
M Pandian, 40, had lost one of his dear ones in Chennai and reached IGI airport in the morning with a hope of getting a seat in any of the low-cost carriers.
"After reaching airport, he tried to get a ticket in the low-cost carriers, but the timings and the ticket prices did not suit him," an airport official said.
With the hope of getting a low fare ticket on an Air India flight, he reached the ticketing counter where he found the ticket price to be Rs 5,059.
As he had just Rs 4,200 in cash and had no ATM or credit card, Air India officials present at the spot came to his rescue and pooled the deficit amount of Rs 800 to pay for his ticket on flight IC-429 for Chennai.
Pandian profusely thanked them for their humanitarian gesture and took the flight.

I read it, not to redicule you but, look who is quoting murthy! :D :D
Its convenient han!
I do not want to go back and forth with you guys. I rest it and thanks for posting the link.
There is a reason, I said read it and understand it. I don't think you have understood it.
I was referring to the opinion letter by Efren Hernandez, Chief (at that time), Business and Trade Services Branch. How does it matter if it was response to a query by lawyer.
Just because I don't agree with a lawyer on a particular issue, it does not mean that I have to disagree with all other issues as well. Do you think that attorney is correct all the time?
The bottom line is that opinion letter is written by a USCIS officer and that I was referring it. And most important of all, you were proven wrong, again. That is the real reason of you being upset.
Have a good day!

so i understand how the whole 7% thing works now in relation to the total visa's available....
but what i dont get it the fact that EB3 ROW was at Aug 02 in april this year,
then in May it moved to AUG 03, so people were clearly getting through the system....
then in June it moved to June 05 so again in that month people where getting processed, and moving through the system....
then the July fiaco, i guess because they were running tight for visa numbers...ok water under the bridge.....
But now the Oct bullitin which is the start of the new fiscal year puts us back to AUG 02 again........how does that work??? i dont get it. how can they suddenly be dealing with people from 02 when even in May it was up to AUG 03???
I would have thought that with the start of a new fisacl year there would be a full fresh batch of numbers, and people would get through a bit quicker for a least a couple of months...you would have thought that it would be current for the first month on the new allotment....wouldnt you???
i dont get it.???

And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
I completely understand what chaanakya is saying and I have a similar opinion. I understand the concept of "Donor" form and it exclusivity of information if you donate. If I question about the concept, I know I will be put down and if IV wants to move in that direction to reach the goals then so be it. So let me spare you from typing anything against my opinion. The only thing I would want to know is who is the "CORE" of IV now ? I vaguely remember it was up in the website somewhere when I joined in 2006. I don't see it anymore.

i am EB3 apr or may 2002 PD. In late 2005 i had asked my lawyer about switching to EB2 and she told the company that it would be a waste of money because our PD was 'so close' to being current. its 2008 and we are still 'so close' ;). i should have gone ahead and switched, now she says the same thing but i dont plan to listen. at the most i loose 6-9k...
i guess each one should take a decision on his/her own situation, without over analyzing. I agree with you that people with PDs 2003 and beyond should certianly consider switching.
PD Nov 2001 - Nov 2002 -> I would say no point in switching to EB2.
Labour + 140 will take atleast 12 months and another 6-9K US$. Not worth it because even otherwise you might have your GC within 12-25 montha from now.
PD Nov 2002 and beyond : Have to actively consider switching to EB2. Myself being in this range, I am doing the leg work and waiting to hear on what happens to the recapture bill. If it does not happen then these PD's should switch if they can and qualify.
Instead of being jealous towards EB2 bonanza , I think EB3 applicants should make use of this Eb3->EB2 conversion option and participate in the bonanza.
Yes, it costs additional 9K . Consider that the price of the ill advised decision to go in for Eb3 to begin with.
An opportunity to get past this GC mess and start realizing your dreams on both personal and professional front.

I've read the document. IEEE is supporting "Immigration Visas" but not H-1B visas(temporary).
Can you shed some light what they meant by "Immigration Visas"?
It would be great if you can give us an example of some one coming on "Immigration Visa" and becoming a permanent resident and subsequently a US citizen.
Immigration visas are really GCs themselves. The only ones that I know who come directly to US on one are the family sponsored immigrants.
i agree IEEE is right about H1-B visas denying rights to workers (we dont claim it is perfect either).But it is just not conceivable for EB immigrants to come directly on a GC, given the long delays. So what they say sounds valid in theory, but impossible in practise.
If USCIS takes 5 years to process an EB visa,how is anyone going to wait that long to hire a foreign worker ? And what is going to happen to a foreign student when he graduates ? go back home and return after 5 years ? Even allowing for significant reform, and assuming their "instant GC" proposal is really instant, I dont see a GC ever being processed in under 2 years anytime in the near future. IEEE only provides lip service to legal immigration, while pushing its case against H1-B. I have not seen any concrete proposals from them to make the GC process painless. To me, it all smells of a veiled attempt to make the immigration process so cumbersome that few employers will want to even go for it.
IEEE-USA might at best be neutral towards our cause, but going by their reaction to CIR, I dont see them jumping with joy if GC numbers are increased.

I've never had such experiences with AF. They are not racist. Airlines are not allowed to issue transit visas and anyone who has lived in France can tell you how insensitive and lazy their bureaucracy is.
True, but Airline CAN give some 'guarantee' to get the transit visa for passengers. I flew Singapore Airline, and they arrange transit passenger to take a tour of the city, if the stopover is , i guess, more then 3 or 4 hrs.
So, I don't buy the argument that its not in their hand. If they wanted they could have done it. Period.
Bad flying experiences do not equate to racism. It is strong word to use and I do not think it applies to this case. Yes, I have seen French show racism towards Africans, but this is not one such case.
When one group right in front of your own eyes gets to stay in a hotel and the other group are left high and dry to loiter in the airport (citing they dont have transit visa), I call it absolutely a kind of Discrimination. I dont give a crap about Transit Visa.
There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.
Wow!! you are generalizing here about one community here. So, you mean to say folks from Boston, US are going to runaway in Paris to seek asylum because they dont like the homes and jobs in US????? Yeah!!! Paris is a paradise, and everybody on this planet wants to somehow get there..

Dear Members,
As we enter the final 15 days of our advocacy days preparation (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1437978) we would like to thank our members that have indicated that they would be coming to DC on June 7 and 8. We also want to thank all State chapters, volunteers and action item leaders that have been helping out with the effort behind the scenes. The massive planning, coordination and implementation cannot happen without the support of each and every member. Help has ranged from phone call campaigns, media campaigns, lawmaker meetings, document preparation, state chapter activities, accommodation initiatives, reaching out to various employers and like minded organizations etc.
We still have a long way to go in our coordination and implementation. IV membership is working hard to make this event a success. The advocacy day work is being implemented at this time and lawmaker office appointments are being sought. Everyone that has indicated their presence for this event will be contacted personally. We are planning an impressive congressional reception event on June 8, in DC and expect several lawmakers, staffers and leaders of other like minded organizations attending the reception. It will be a great opportunity for IV members to meet these important representatives. There is also going to be a notable Press event on June 8 that we are planning. There are several initiatives being taken that we will be announcing in the days leading up to these events. The event is in itself a huge task that requires planning from getting space for various parts of this event, space for gathering of all IV members (situation room) to transporting all advocacy day material, providing training sessions for members, getting appointments from lawmaker offices, inviting reporters, press release to details like photocopying documents for each meeting, folders and digital advocacy media with IV branding and soft copy of all IV documents as a leave behind in every lawmaker office.
We recently invested thousands of dollars per year subscription in providing an easy advocacy and media contact interface for our members, Refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1519451
These emails, letters and communications will help us with more effective and targeted advocacy to help get much needed attention for our issues. All this will need investment from IV and we can do it only if our members support us in this huge task by contributing funds as well as time. We already invest a lot in the advocacy effort we do on regular basis.
IV effort needs 50 thousand dollars in the next 15 days to make sure we can meet our immediate needs and also make a big impact via this advocacy day events. We can plan more ideas like full page ads in national newspapers if we can have sufficient resources. This event will most certainly bring our issues to the national center stage and help us get much needed immigration relief in the months ahead.
We are a small grassroots organization with a strong resolve and when we all pool in our energies, intelligence and resources; we can all collectively create wonders. We do not want our limited funds to stop us from going all out. Despite our fulltime jobs, IV core is committed to work harder and we are happy to have the asset of a large IV community to support us in this mammoth task.
This post is to urge everyone to come forward and help yourself in this short term funding drive. If you have not contributed till now, please consider contributing. If you cannot make it to DC due to personal or professional reasons then do show your admiration for our effort. If you have recently received your green cards, then please consider contributing as a way of celebrating and endorsing our effort. Times are tough for any immigration relief and in tough times we have to work harder to get anything done. Your contribution, words of support and enthusiasm helps everybody to maintain higher level of motivation which is so important for this kind of community effort. It is up to each member if you feel from your heart to contribute towards this cause. If you decide to contribute, you can either easily contribute via our website page
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44. or you could send us a check. We suggest individual contributions of $50/$100 to cover the cost of this event.
We request each and every member reading this post to please contribute. We will continue to post updates that will make us all feel proud and part of this organization. Thank you for your support. Please keep it up.
Thanks

1. Bush is a lame duck president now.
2. He is not going to do anything for anyone in his last few months. Especially for us who are not in anybody's radar.
3. The white house is better staffed to handle mail and has a larger team to scrutinize mails. Truth is Bush meay never hear about 25K mails sent over a month.
25 K Mails sent in 2 days well may be.
This is a good effort but wrong target. May be ppl sense that and are holding off.
4. We cannot be just an internet forum anymore we need meet n greets..periodic meetings that bring ppl together face to face.
--
That is right and there are "million" other reasons I can give you that odds are stacked so high against us. This is time to act not analyze.
Will you kindly show some team work and participate in the effort instead of providing critical feedback midway in the campaign. We knew what we were getting into. If you disagree with IV's goal that is fine too but it is unfair to hundred of volunteers who are as smart and analytical, as yourself, if not more and still spend hundreds of volunteer hours on this campaign and come back to be greeted by such unhelpful and critical posts.
The reason we might fail will not be because of high odds against us, or wrong target, rather inaction and refusal to either be a leader or a follower on IV campaign issues

This is very interesting. Please keep us posted on future developments like when you get your card. Lot of us have been debating about RD and ND. The fact that you have got an RFE on your 485 application is also interesting. It could really be your GC.
Have you recently applied for you EAD? They might have approved your EAD and updated your status for the 485 app by mistake. Just trying to over analyze the situation :). Anyway keep your fingers crossed till you get your physical cards.
Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Problem My EB2 PD is not current, is this a system glitch or did I get GC?

Why H1B, F1, etc.?
Whenever US allows a person/family to come in US on work/study, US should provide equal opportunity to that person/family in most aspects of life (except National Security, Voting Rights, etc. which is after becoming citizen).
If at all any binding required, it could be somthing like six months - not of years and years.
Some bold decisions required - just like closing Guantanamo prision

We are not talking about what's beneficial to the United States. What we are discussing is what the law says. It doesn't matter if it is beneficial to the United States or not, if it is the law of the land then everyone has to abide by it; even the government. I think everyone has a different opinion on what's beneficial for this country. If you talk to the people at numbersusa.com, they will say that H1B program and employment based immigration is the worst thing that happened to this country and should be stopped right at this moment yet we think that this is the best thing for this country. Go figure.
By the way, you seem to suggest that everyone in ROW is unskilled professional. Nothing can be further from the truth. I don't know where you get your facts from but it sounds like you certainly need some help on that front.
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

Dear Sir,
Not convincing. 2006 was when Retrogression started. And it was declared HUGE only in 2007,8,9,10. Just because some Tom or D has forcasted that therez gonna be huge retrogression, we dont base our GC plans on that. Correct..
If everyone were to go with your logic, then I guess EB2 qualified guys must wait for .. well how many years, u tell us.. to apply in .. EB1 ".. And what shoudl EB3 guys do..
The point is, lets focus our energies on the main problem which all of us face, and not show any disgust on any one category. I know how it feels if someone is coming in front of me in my line.. But how can we stop them.
Lets bring attention to releasing those wasted visas, quota problems etc..
If equal spillover happens from EB1 to rest of categories, EB2 will affected immediatley.
Its personal choice if and when they want to start the GC process if there is an opporunity. I also didnt start my GC even though my first employer wanted to start the GC for me in 2005 and I refused for whatever stupid reasons...which I am regreting now

I work for company A in india which has a subsidary company "B" in US.
On "B"'s request i worked in US for company B from July 2006 to Nov 2006 (for which i have valid pay checks).
I went back to India and worked for A till June and i came to US again to work for Company B.
Now as soon as i entered US, i have applied for a premium H1 company transfer to Company C.
Now i got a query to submit my Pay checks which i do not have as i resigned Company B after coming to US.
Please suggest me whats the ideal way to answer this query...
This is really urgent and Please reply ASAP

Totally agree with you. I know guys who worked in production support and QA applied in EB2. At the same time people like me in positions such as Architect went with the ill-fated EB3. It is sad, but is the truth.
Hate to burst your bubble. But you have an attitude problem. What makes you think that you are in architect position due to your superiority over others? I am also an architect but if the QA guys didnt fix your shit, your bridge would collapse on inauguration.
Also depends, what are you really doing as an architect? Building a supply chain infrastrucuture for your company?

Friends,
I was one among the people not attented the Plano meeting.I had to attend a very important family meet on that day. But, I didn't inform Niloufer about this.I am Sorry,Niloufer.
I also spread the message of Plano meeting by pasting flyers in Irving India stores. I was ready to attend alongwith my family. But, for the last minute unavoidable family meet. I became helpless.
Today,I convinced my friend EJSR to contribute $100 towards Omnibus fund drive.
I am sorry.
Keep going IV
This is something a texas IV aspiring member has to go through. I am sure Amma was the participant of one of the successful lawmaker meetings. There is something wrong here when IV is so harsh on a contributing member like Amma.
