Folks,
Need ur participation... I'm not an active member, but have done my part.
As you all know the famous saying, "Make hay when the sun shines", we have to act on right time to succeeed in our efforts. I see 800+ registered members.. Counting atleast $100 each, we should atleast be close to 50% of the target.. but it not the case here, Most of us have been in this country for years and also are planning to make this our home... Contributing $100, should not be a big deal.. Folks please join hands together... and help the folks who are actively working on this... .
Also each of us, already members in the group, atleast should try to get minimum one new member to this groups within next week time, we should be able to increase the membership rate dramatically and the contributions too....

Do you mean 30 credits with 3 year degree from India to complete MS?
$15K for 30 credits means $500 for 1 credit?
ISU - Iowa State University; Not from India. Yes, $15K for a total of 30 credits. Aprx 3 credits per subject => total 10 subjects. One of them must be a project, so total of 9 subjects ( with 3 credits each).

if its a 10 year visa...i doubt there should be a concern about visa renewal.
Hopefully in 10 years you have GC and USC :)
But to answer your question...as long as you are not overstaying the 6 months there should be no legal issues. Ofcourse there is no such guarantee as it is upto the visa issuing officer's discretion
Thanks ! Thats what I thought , but wanted to confirm with senior members.

Wow, 2007 was interesting. It started in Oct 07 from Apr 04 and in 6 months went back to Jan 04 touching even 00 :eek: EB2 is deep s%^&. :mad:
Do you see any possible forward movements in Nov 08 bulletin? EB2? EB3?
Any educated guesses, rumours, inside news etc? Not that it will change anything but by now USCIS would have taken stock of the situation and possibly updated their demand projections

Hi,
Here is my situation. I can apply for I-485 since my labor(PD - Mar 05) has cleared and I-140 has been filed.
But, I have a fiancee and we are getting married in September 2007. She is on H1-B but currently traveling in India.
We cannot get married before September 2007, so, as far as I understand, I cannot add her into my AOS filing right now. And, as far as I understand they are gonna retrogress the dates to oblivion after August 17, 2007.
1. So, my question is, would she have to wait until my priority date become current again before she can add herself into my AOS application?
2. Let's say the answer for question 1 is YES. What happens if due to whatever reason, my I-140 gets approved BEFORE my priority date becomes current, so, in that scenario I wouldn't have been able to apply for her AOS anyway? Then, what are our options?
3. Let's say the answer for question 1 is NO. Then, is there a special processing I need to do to add her since my priority dates will not be current anytime soon because of the retrogression?
Please remember, she DOES carry H1-B on her own.
Thank you,

Redcard,
Life is what you make it. No one force anyone to come to this country on VISA and work and be In GC line. Things happen in life. The way you are talking is as if whole world will collapse if you don’t get green card. No one would die because of that. Grow up and move on in life. This is just a minor obstacle in life. Smart intelligent people can make money and have a good life any where in the world. Probably you would face lot more challenge in life than this green card issue, which I am sure you will give your best to overcome. Don’t make this GC a big deal in your life. :)
I mean the way we talk on these forums are as if all our careers along with our family life will be finished before we reach 30-32 if we don’t get green card. Come on man, so many people faced so many disasters from WW1-2 to flood to hurricanes where they lost everything and still moved on to do great things in life and here we are depressed because of this GC?
Its very interesting to read about people’s different perspective about same thing we are all after.. lets ask ourselves.. honestly why we do want GC and I am sure we all would have multiple reasons for this in our subconscious but would not like to bring it to forefront because it would only undermine our own ability to fight it or make life more stressful.. but end of the day we all want this card.. for me I want it mainly for security and peace of mind…lets look at the different situations.. these might be extreme but we all might have thought about these situations atleast at some point in the recent past… .. and especially the people in the seventh year
1. You are in your seventh year… and you loose you job….what is the first thought that comes to your mind.. I got to pack and leave .. pack your home of seven years and all your possessions you collected, in two suitcases of 50lbs each and leave…forget the Flat Screen TV,, forget all the electronics and the two cars you love ... just list them in craigslist …
2. You have home which you bought with so much pride…what do you do? ..List it.. make a desperate sale in this falling market.. loose a ton of money and leave…and don't even talk about all the silk plants..floor lamps.. the furnishing,, they are for the yard sale on the Saturday..
3. You have child whom you love and have plans for them.. love the school.. are an active member in the PTA … all of sudden what you do.. pull them out of school, move them from the only culture and the country they have known the only President they know is Bush and the only national anthem they have learnt is "The Star-Spangled Banner"…to another place where they don’t even understand the language forget the culture, national anthem etc..
4. Think about your spouse.. they have adopted themselves to this lifestyle.. probably felt lonely when you moved here 7 years but now like it.. its time for them to move back…why because your don’t have a GC
5. Forget the Golf and Tennis you enjoy so much here …it was all a very good dream..
1. You are educated.. have a masters, have a professional degree.. but have been in the same position and department because of your long wait for GC, what happens… the fresh college graduate or the dumb blond who joined two years back and whom you taught how to log into the network is now your peer and you are still on the same desk doing the same job getting the 2% raise and working even more hard..so that you can keep you job..with a new dumb boss.. who thinks you are so dumb that you have been in the same job for so long time..
2. All your batchmates are doing great..some of them are now sweating to be VP’s having risen by changing jobs …. You are still years away from that situation.. what do you do.. stop attending alumni meets and envy the mails in your yahoo groups from people..
3. Seven years in US.. you have made your professional contacts.. and have a social network.. in which you invested your time and effort.. loose your job in the seventh year.. and all these contacts are nothing but an occasional international long distance call in future..
Last but not the least… flight back home to your country is not going to be as smooth as the flight to US was seven years back.. back home look for a job..learn the whole new professional culture …and then set up a new home,,new school for kids….why because we could not get a GC.. which was not in our control.. and because some stupid insane guy sitting in cave 10K miles away decided to terrorize the people in America in 2001.. and make life difficult for all the people..including people in H1...
We might all go back to our home country one day.. but the ride back home would be much more pleasant and happier of a choice we made and not because we did not get a GC…
Good Luck and lets keep up the effort... :)

I filed an apeal for my first PERM too and preparing to file another one (through another company - you can't file another PERM via the same company while your first PERM is in appeal). Your's is there for longer than mine. I heard 4 to 6 months would be the time. Please let us know when and how yours is resolved.
Styrum: Why did you file an appeal on your first perm and why are you planning to file another appeal? Maybe I am not understanding something here. was your first LC denied? (on what ground?) why your second LC denied?? Please explain. it seems that we are on the same boat but my appeal have been there longer (now over 6 months)
does anybody here has any idea how long the appeal on the LC decision takes?? any information will be greatly appreciated.

How about the Insurance Policy offered by MetLife? They invest your money in Mutual Funds and provide you the insurance coverage as well. I bought 2 policies for 15 years, one for my self and another for my wife. Our monthly premium is $485(285 for me and 200 for my wife). The risk cover is half million dollars and its an investment plan on which the average return is between 14-18% pa. I don't know yet how good is going to come out.

IT and BPO outsourcing is also leading to Americanization of Indian youth and Indian youth are spending their high salaries on American products. In no time you will see American fast food chains, groceries, and many American MNCs cashing on a Americanized Indian crowd and neutralize ( and will eventually exceed the investments they make).
This is the beginning of Americanization. Most of you will not understand what I say because you are here in US for a long time and being first generation immigrants (on a limbo) keep up with your tradition. Americanization is like a slow bleed. IT and BPO is investment. Returns will come in form of MNCs and businesses and finally benefit American economy.
Just go back to India and look into the ITand BPO companies and lifestyles of people there. it will be 5 times higher than what we follow here as the Americanization is already induced.
Bottomline, do not underestimate America. They know what they do.
well said buddy.

WithoutGCAmigo, no panic. there are processing dates which you should be worried about after you file EAD / AP etc.
To file it goes per visa bulletin. Hope you are upto date with that.
thats the talk of the town, sorry COUNTRY now
IV memeber experts - should be on the way to throw more light / clarify
good luck
The reason the processing dates matter is because by the time USCIS gets to process our I765 and I131 the dates would have retrogressed and then what happens is a million dollar ?

Here is what people forget in this debate. They point out disadvantages of Canada over US. Fewer jobs, High taxes, extreme cold etc.
No doubt US is better than Canada for most people. That is why US is our first choice and Canada is backup - not the other way around.
We arent talking about people who have a choice here. If you had choice between US GC and Canadian PR we would always choose US blind folded.
But we are people without much choice. Yes we have choice to go back to India, and it may be a good choice for thoise who have come recently and have work exp in India. But some of us have spent 10 plus yrs in the US, have US degrees, never worked in India etc. For us it is extremely difficult to move back to India when we dont have a days work exp there. Ofcourse if you are SC/ST or OBC o reserved category your kids have great future there but not for other "normal" people.
So what other choice do we have. Well English speaking countries you can migrate to and who are taking people as PR's are:
1) CANADA
2) AUSTRALIA
3) NEW ZEALAND
4) SINGAPORE
5) UK.
UK is very difficult to go to as PR. The points required are extremely high. Unless you have MBA from top 10 school or make over 100 K it is difficult.
Singapore is a good option also, but cost of living is high and you can only apply for PR after working in Singapore for 3 plus yrs. Also Singapore is not a democracy.
New Zealand economy is 10 times worse than Canada
That leaves Australia and Canada. Well Canada is closer to US, but Australia has better weather. Canada is less racist but Australia has cricket :).
So bottom line is conduct this discussion as if US is not the option. If we could stay here with PR for sure we wouldnt even be having this discussion.

In America - anybody can say a racial slur against you and they will not be prosecuted under law - you can also do the same without fear of prosecution. Although both of you might loose your jobs because you work for a private company - they have the right to fire anybody they want. First and foremost - please respect the freedom of speech - words dont kill!
Here are a few things that might help shut up folks who talk against you...
1) There is no reason to be overly sentimental about anything (being sentimental and having a sense of entitlement is a desi trait that needs to be gotten rid of as soon as you get off that plane at the airport - it is something that should not have been there in the first place. You are not special, this is not your country, the ppl over here are not dumb, you are here on business and maintain that attitude. If somebody misbehaves with you tell outside of work, them to f*** off - if somebody does that at work - you can reply to them without using abusive language - because abusive language might get you fired. If you HR is effective complain to them - but I prefer to handle it at an individual level - because I am not scared - thats the beauty of America)
2) Dress properly - get a haircut and dont use cooking oil instead of gel. Get rid of the moustache if you have one. Make sure you dont stink. Dressing up smartly elevates your image - remember this country is very image conscious - which I think it should be. Dressing nicely and smelling good will not hurt anybody. To all desi women - please get rid of all the facial + body hair that is visible. Please wear makeup - because you may not be naturally beautiful. Donot act like slobs - nobody likes that.
3) Respect boundaries and dont make other ppl smell your food.
4) Be positive in your attitude, improve your communication skills and dont act servile.
5) Most desis are hard working and responsible people - nothing should hold them back - not certainly the need for an image makeover.
All fellow desis take care and enjoy your life here - life is too short to be depressed about the green card everyday. Most important thing is you stay happy everyday - here or in India.

To all desi women - please get rid of all the facial + body hair that is visible. Please wear makeup - because you may not be naturally beautiful. Donot act like slobs - nobody likes that.
3) Respect boundaries and dont make other ppl smell your food.
4) Be positive in your attitude, improve your communication skills and dont act servile.
5) Most desis are hard working and responsible people - nothing should hold them back - not certainly the need for an image makeover.
All fellow desis take care and enjoy your life here - life is too short to be depressed about the green card everyday. Most important thing is you stay happy everyday - here or in India.

Here is the news from the Little Rock newpaper. Apparently the criminal shot dead another guy right after this incident http://arkansasmatters.com/content/fulltext/news/?cid=175391
Thanks for the link. The robber was indeed targeting a particular group/race...Hispanics. And us Indians look like Hispanics in the eye of African-Americans ( and some whites think we are Arabs, that's a whole different story).
Police also say the suspect in these latest crimes matches the description of a man wanted for a string of robberies apparently targeting Hispanic men in the parking lots of apartment complexes in other parts of west Little Rock.
