Why are we discussing this subject when it will do nothing to take us closer to getting the GC? In almost each social event, I have heard this subject being talked by my fellow friends. But discussing it on IV forum does not serve much purpose.
To me, it seems in the conversations about this subject (not just this thread, even in social events), each person is trying to find a group of people that agree to his or her thoughts. That makes the group then feel better. But what do we all do the next day, pray that we get the GC fast. People who want to really go back to their country do not take much part in these discussions. They just pack up and go.
If we are spending any time on IV, it should be focussed on our effort to get the GC. Or to help someone of us facing an immigration related issue.

Check ICICI. I think it is called a NRE account. You can fund it in Dollars and Rupees and it could be repatriated in Dollars. So just open the account and have them deposit the monies India, you can draw it here. This kind of account is for NRI's who earn an income in India and want to access it here.
There is a limit I think but it must be like $25K..
Good Luck
Two years back the limit was $25,000 per year. It seems substantially higher now. I did it through a one stop process at ICICI. Not cumbersome at all.
I am not sure if it is as difficult as is everyone's impression in this thread.

BTW, I repatriated money from a resident Indian account (account that I opened when I was a resident). I did not personally get an RBI clearance etc.
There were strict repatriation rules in the days when $s were in demand in India. These days RBI wishes there were less $s in the market. One of the reasons why the outflow is liberalized.
Good Luck.

Instead of fighting EB3 or EB2, can we throw up this idea -
Whatever be the priority date - whether EB2 or EB3, a person should submit proof of filing Income Tax from the time they were in US. This way a person who came in 2001 and filed for labour in say 2002 under EB3 - will have higher priority (provided he/she submits Tax filing proof for 8 years) than a person under EB2 with 2006 priority date and filed taxes only for say -4 years. (or the same person who moved from EB3 to EB2 can also benefit from this) i.e. the priority should be determined based on how much a person has contributed to US economy. For the Govt. to generate some money, all GC applicants can be asked to pay a small fee(say $100 per applicant) to IRS to get proof of filing income tax returns.
Just my 2 cents.

In my opinion, the fear that folks that are contributing 50$ will switch to lower sums is unfounded. There is nothing that stops them from stopping their contributions altogether even now.
yes and people do stop...what do you think...the small minority just keeps contributing when they see others not lifting one finger?
and we are not speaking from "fear of what will happen" we are telling you from experience that people who can afford 50/mnth and are willing to do it are tempted to do 20 instead...and do it. why is that so hard to believe? is it not human? i think it is natural for many to think like that. we have 25,000 members, >90% don't do anything for iv. despite that you won't believe that people will contribute less if they can?
if members really want to contribute- use pay pal and give less. the option is there. why the argument over the set up that iv has made...when you have an alternative??? iv needs to send a signal on what we really need from you and we have done that. the rest is up to you...take a choice. just remember- pay pal takes a chunk every time you do small multiple amounts.
please focus energies elsewhere. this is a moot discussion. and btw your contributions are very welcome- thank you for helping us all in our movement to end retrogression...! you are setting a great example.

Hi
It looks like most people are of the opinion going for term life and investing extra money in Mutual fund or Securities rather than going for Whole life and paying for lot high premiums.
So now my question is
(1) can you list companies and term life policies that you found better and more comptitative compared to others in market, along with their plus and minus
(2) List important websites for such comapnies
(3) Does Having GC and not having GC makes significant difference in terms of Premium for the Term Life Policy
Also list other informative sources for Term or Life Insurance Policies
Thanks

Nothing significant is expected from this speech. Most politicians repeat the same 3 things- Secure our borders, provide path to citizenship to millions and welcome best and the brightest. The real question is when they will do the real work on immigration. There have been some discussions on administrative fixes on immigration. However some of these fixes would politically harm democrats in the upcoming elections.
Only when the democratic party weakens things can move forward for the skilled (EB- GC ) folks. Democratic party is never for skilled immigratiion, it is all for illegal masses only.

Yup, Gandhigiri will work.. We have lots of time in our hands.. British enjoyed their 300 year stay in India.. Lets enjoy our stay in US also.. at the hands of our employers, lawyers etc.. :o
Lets not hope for results just act. If Gandhi could drive Britishers out of India using this approach, USCIS is also made of human people and sure they will do something to lessen our pains.

Has anyone received the copy of I-140 through
FOIA ?
My employer is not willing to give me a copy of
I-140, because of the fear of me, switching to
a different employer.
I have the receipt number of I-140 and I know
that my I-140 is approved.
Is it possible to get a copy of I-140 from USCIS ?
Has anyone received a copy of I-140 directly from
USCIS using FOIA ?
Thanks

How come we didn't have any phone campaign? What were our lobbyists doing?
I'm glued to C-SPAN whenever anything related to immigration is going on in the senate. This time I wasn't aware of it.
We need to be more alert this time. Maybe a phone campaign or web-fax campaign would have turned the scale! We gotta be more alert.
Don't worry. This is not the complete defeat yet, since this ammendment ties into the troops withdrawl bill. The president would have definately vetoed the bill.
The bigger thing is the SKILL ACT, which has yet to be at the floor. If we really want any success, we have to ensure that the immigration act is passed a a standalone act and not an ammendment to any other bill regarding defense.

QT,
May be this is not a prediction thread. But the OP and some others are all about VB in another thread or two. While I personally dont have any issue with it, it just frustates me that people dont understand that VB is not going to do any magic for PD's in 2003 or later. C mon Lets be realistic. After doing all the math in so many threads, Does any one expect that the PD will be some where in the ending of 2003. Hell no. Then why is that we have a Dec Bulletin thread way back? Now some one is gonna come start a Jan prediction thread. Useless. I hate to comment on this but I hope people understand the difference between discussion as you said(which I personally agree) and useless predictions when they can make educated guess and do something else.

It appears form the wording in the text that, anyone who has maintained a continuous stay for at least 5 years preceding and up to the date of enactment of this bill, gets to apply for AOS and be granted permanent residence.
so with respect to EB folks, this provides GC aspirants (with 5 year stay) an immediate relief. The total quota numbers are not modified. Everything stays as is. This appears to be a one time relief to free up the choke in the system (at least for EB).
thanks,
slowwin
I wonder how it would work for existing AOS applicants. The existing applicants have already applied under the INA c9 subsections. The text of the current bill states that the applicant needs to apply under this bill's section to adjust status, similar to 245i. Now if this means reapplying under this section, that would mean another flood of applicants. Obviously with such a deluge, you wouldnt need a quota, the CIS system itself will take years to sort out the applicants.

I suppose it depends on your employers LOA policy, but in most cases you are not allowed to work for another employer when you have taken a leave of absence. And if it's not illegal it would certainly be unethical.
y would it be unethical ? If I take LOA I will let my employer know that I am working in another town for one year (due to personal reasons) and will be back after a year. There is a provision in our company which allows us to go on LOA. Also y should it be illegal?

Do you really agree with multi-national managers(via L1A). This is the area wherein the interpretation is pretty loose. If you dissect EB1 data you would find that EB1C used bulk of it except for this year due to bad economy and tightening of screws. There should be some very clearly defined guidelines for EB1-C, somebody being an onsite coordinator or managing 5 people should not be eligible. This category should be reserved for those who are managing at least 100 people or control business in several millions. I agree that EB1 should be just for the exceptional.
teddy the pun "multi-national managers(via L1A)" was intended. if that makes it clear.
anyway, the focus of this thread was about the president's immigration speech. Atleast the speech included the fact that illegal immigration makes a mockery of legal immigration. understood that any solution also must include finding a way on how to handle the undocumented people.
anyway, the speech for now might be just a start or more "kick in the butt" to let the congress know that they need to start work in CIR. when it comes to fruition is anybody's guess.

I also have a 3 year Bachelor's degree (BSc Physics) + 3 Year masters degree (MCA) from India. I would like to get it evaluated. Could you please let me know which education evaluation agency you used?
Is you bachelor and master degree in the same or related discipline? I read somewhere that the bachelors and master's will have to be in the same or related fields for it to be considered equivalent to US Masters degree.
Yes, my Bachelor and Master's are in same/related discipline. I think you can use any education evaluator but make sure that are aware of Indian Education System. We have responded to the RFE. I will post the outcome for the benefit for all.
