Needhelp,
You should be proud of yourself. And people
who did not show up after RSVPed. Shame on you.
If you offered a $15 gift card or a free movie
coupon or Flash drive, all of these people
would have lined up at your door.( that is the
Desi attittude )
I got my green card 4 months ago.( by Lord
Krishna's grace). I still contribute to IV on monthly
autopay. I've been trying to help everyway I could from
the inception of IV. I made numourous strangers during
one time to talk about IV. ( My experience is that
Desi's are so hard to convince. Their world is their family
and four walls around them and save everypenny they earn).
I've a friend who went to 5.00am to a autoshop
to test drive and get a $50 coupon. But who would never
bother to sign a letter for IV's cause( he is a green card
waiter). I've tell him several times to do it.
Needhelp, your best way would be to find one person
committed like you to stand up. It will be much easier
then.
Here is Mother Teresa's Prayer
"People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered..forgive them anyway"
all the bests to all of you.

All that is being said is very true. Petitioning the US gov't is as American as apple pie. As aspiring Americans we can only be respected for this, if we do it politely and peacefully.
People who put in a herculean effort (not to be underestimated by anyone here) to organize the rally and surrounding activities, broke their backs trying to lay a platform for the rest of us to communicate our case. It is only natural that when they get the lamest of lame excuses, they feel upset.
Every one of us has skin in this game. We need to find some way to lend our weight to this issue rather than just passing time on this or other websites. It is really unclear to me why in America, the most free society on the face of the earth, people feel unmotivated, inert, insecure etc to press what is a most legitimate grouse.
Let me give you a few points that might convince you in this issue. For most of us:
1) We are here at the behest of our employers or the US Gov't (NIW cases). Not on our own accord or illegitimately.
2) The US gov't has certified that our jobs do not have suitably qualified americans to take them.
3) The US Gov't has approved our immigrant petitions.
4) We are in a period of inordinate delay to complete the steps due to a variety of factors, including bureaucratic delays, inordinately long security checks(BTW bad for both us and the country) and an inadequate supply of visa numbers for the number of approved petitions.
5) We are asking the US Gov't to fix this issue and treat us fairly and not make us wait 6-10 yrs for no clear reason.
6) We are asking them to be more straightforward in their policy and to stop sending mixed signals.
Above all we are doing it in the most American of ways. Peacefully petitioning and lobbying the government. Most broad minded Americans can and do relate to this.

One of the ways, I was thinking of to increase membership to the newly created Nebraska chapter is to approach the local attorney's office and get contact information of the pending applicants from them . More targeted approach .
Now before I take action,few questions.
1. Am I kidding myself :-( no attorney would part with such information, Client-Attorney privileges.
2. Has it been attempted by anyone before??

Just imagine this, you spend 6 months training an international grad, spend $5000 - $7000 per H1B and after 1 - 2 yrs, you will have to start all over again. After a couple of months, the "new hire" will just be angry at you (just look at all the people on this forum who curse bodyshoppers - and just to clarify - I am not implying that the company you start will be a bodyshopping firm) and he will quit your company and join someone else. And you will have to start the process all over again. The guy who you hired on H1B will be now join someone else and depending on your business, you will be left high and dry.
I know this because the very first job I joined, the philosophy at the company was to hire fresh grads (the "get them cheap" works for American Grads too). My boss used to tell me "we can get two for the price of one". The year I got hired, the company recruited 15 new grads (a new "Product Development" dept. was being started) - and I was the only H1B. After 14 months, when the business started picking up, the company did not even bother to raise our pay or even recogonize us. Guess what happened? Over a period of 2 months, 12 of us quit for better jobs. Guess who now had to look for 12 people and at the sametime deliver the product to the clients on time?
If I understand your argument then you can conclude that: faster EB GC processing will decrease wage supression.
However, Kim Berry (in One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm)) is saying that faster EB GC procesing will increase wage supression.
Please rephrase the above and blog it at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm). Thanks!

Doesn't it sound rude... they celebrate, feast and we fast. If we admire this country for giving us so much we should also show our support and adopt the culture and celebrate with them to show we are tax paying Americans who enjoy in American way.
We can show our protest by sending 1-wish for our own GC ( may be in the form of Christmas tree ornament) to all law makers. Everybody makes a wish and our wish is GC.
IMO, it is not rude but definitely brings out the irony of our positions.

Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.
I agree with you eb3_nepa. It is not a fact that everyone in EB2 category has an Advanced degree and also not a fact that no one in EB3 category has an advanced degree. So, this bill will benefit a bunch of EB3 and EB2 folks directly and indirectly.
BTW, I am also in the same boat as you are. I have a Master's in Engineering from the U.S. But I am in the EB3 category.
Sen. Bill Frist's bill is definitely a win-win situation for a lot of parties. It doesn't include the Guest Worker program as well as it includes all the major provisions for EB legal folks.
Now lets just hope that it passes the Senate and House (more critical) without any unnecessary bureaucratic delays.
FRIST FOR PREZ.

It depends on the day. I had great experience with all the airlines that I've traveled so far.
(Air India, Malaysian and Lufthansa)
When we traveled with our twins on Lufthansa they were extremely helpful. They even went to the extent of checking our documents ( as opposed to standing in the line) in the sitting/waiting area at Frankfurt airport for us.
The ground staff at one small Indian domestic airport floored us by bringing a Jeep near the plane (as opposed to walking to the terminal from the runway).
I believe when you are with small babies, airlines goto great length to help you.
At the same time, when we fly next, we would go with lower expectation since you never know when the law of averages will catch up! I know its due! :D
Thanks,

Is english speaking required to qualify for EB2 ? who diminished the country image ? In our company Indians are highly regarded and yes most of us work for desi companies . Dont blame others just becasue your company dont sponsor in EB2.
Are you from different world. Yes it is necessary even to get the H1. Now I understand why the anti-immigrants are targetting us. Do you mean to say the English speaking people diminished this country. Can we replace all these guys with mullas. What are you trying to say..

A couple of years ago when 2004 Aug was current, I followed up and was then told that I should never have been given the 2004 date as no I-140 was filed for it..and told, So, sorry about it...but please keep waiting for the priority date.

Finally, I got the PIO card. It did not take long after sending a $20.00 MO, I got the PIO card in about a months time. The total time it took me was about 2 and 1/2 months...although they claim the processing time would be at the max. 45 business days.
The PIO card looks pathetic. Its hand written and the passport like book looks too cheap. Crap looking PIO card.
I saw the new PIO processing fee, includes the return postage, which is a good thing. No more calls to anybody asking to send again the postage fee...seems to me the Govt. of India, plugged this little hole.

I did not go to DC because i did not want to get the green card this way.I grew upwatching aunts,uncles coming from USA bearing gifts.I grew up watching cousins go for USA for higher studies.It used to be so special. Now its become so cheap. Now you guys have literally taken it to the streets. There's no difference between those illegal immigrants and us. This H1visa has ruined it for really smart students who come here on F1 with full scholarship.
This software industry and these cheap bodyshopping companies made it nothing more than a whore business.
My heart is broken. I dont care anymore.thats why i did not come to DC.

I absolutely do not agree that it will do more harm - given the current situation where every country is backlogged in EB3, and EB2 for India/China is also severely backlogged, there is very little chance that India and China can have more than 10000 visas (7% of 140,000) issued in Fy 2006 across all of Eb1/2/3.
Current System
EB1 China/India might benefit a bit because they will be the first ones to get the visas from extra EB1 visas but then, if Specter/Frist's bill passes, many of these EB1's will get a chance to file for 485 anyway.
EB2 China/India might also benefit a little bit provided rest of the world leaves something behind.
EB3 will not benefit at all as every country is backlogged here.
Looking at FY 2005 statistics is very misleading. So, the way things are, any bill is better than no bill at all - at least we have a shot at improving the status quo we are in.
Instead of just comparing current situation with future, especially when the future is so unclear, we should try our level best to achieve the following
1. Put the clause back
2. Amendment to file 485 after 140 or labor has been approved for certain time but Visa number is not available. Emphasis should be on the total wait time for GC, so that people in BECs do not get screwed.
Put all your energy and efforts in achieving these and we will not see retrogression for many years. My goal is not to dissuade people from the comparison - it is a healthy exercise, but now that we know what the pros and cons are, let us work together to solve.

Also, the flight schedules to fly from Portland Oregon to D.C is so ridiculous that it takes a whole day away in flying.
Will definetely attend a rally in the east coast, or better yet will help organize one.

Don't want to pick on anyone one or anything.. just case-in-point to what I posted earlier.. here we have intense legal debates, and legal opinions with people who can not distinguish between Title VII and EEO which are legislative laws and between the constitution. These laws are not part of the constitution and they include provisions for federal and local governments and their agencies to override parts of rules if they deem necessary.
Again you are plain wrong. If a non-US citizen buys house in the US then does he have the right to own the house and live as he wants? The answer is YES.
Similarly, the US Constitution protects certain rights of non-US citizens who are in the US. One of them is right to the Equal Opportunity Employment. Now if a law is passed such that it intentionally or unintentionally goes against the right of the US citizens or non-US citizens, employed in the lands of the US, to Equal Opportunity Employment then YES the US courts can rule that the law is unconstitutional and hence no longer applies.
The Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)") and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, I agree with you, this thread is going no where. It will go on for 10+ pages and then die. I have seen may be 5 such threads on immigrationvoice and .
