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.
Lets be fair here. RSVPing and not showing up is rude & unprofessional, and unbecoming of so called 'high skilled immigrants'. Its besides the point that the concerned members are contributing. Not to pick on any one member, but you can always call up to let the organizer know that you have a last minute conflict come up and will not be able to make it.
Its about common courtesy & decency :cool:

I am new to the site and have been reading these posts and I have very little knowledge regarding the greencard processing. But as far as I know, law is not clear in this matter and this results in different interpretations by different people. There is also little scope for any law suit as the State Dept is the ultimate decision maker in these issues. see section 202 of INA Act
"(B) 1/ Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of State to determine the procedures for the processing of immigrant visa applications or the locations where such applications will be processed"
Also it is not clearly explained if EB categories take preference or country limits have preference over EB categories. The State Department can clearly argue that EB2 is entitled for 28.6% of total EB visas and per country limit does not apply as EB2 category still has unused visas left for use this quarter and they intend to maximize the use of total EB2 visas available. I think we should all stop arguing(because in the end it will not change a thing) about who should get the first chance at Green card and pray for all those friends who have been waiting for years and sincerely hope that their wait ends soon. Instead we should concentrate on how we can help each other and see about how we can improve the process
united nations...u have been saying what u just said for many years now. i remember ur epic fight with saras on that issue that caused u to leave immigration portal.
i think this modification of the interpretation of the law is mainly to prevent the massive loss of numbers. I think the DOS now realizes that USCIS cannot effectively handle processing of the massive release of visa numbers in the last quarter, thereby they are doing it in an incremental manner so that the demand is handled effectively (USCIS standards effectively).

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou
Bharat,

I applied for my spouse's PIO card (to the Houston consulate) in January, we recd it in about a month.
Here is a list of what I sent:
1. Two copies (with photographs) of the completed PIO application
2. Three additional 35 mm x 35 mm photographs (not sure if this is reqd or not, some of the other consulate websites mentioned xtra photos, so we just sent them)
3. Money order for US $385 in favor of �Consulate General of India, Houston� (includes $20 towards express mail charge for return of PIO card)
4. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's foreign passport
5. Notarized copy of spouse's birth certificate
6. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's father�s Indian passport (proof of father�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India)
7. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's mother�s Indian passport as proof of mother�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India
8. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's family�s ration card showing residential address.
9. Copy of my electric bill showing current US address
10. Letter of employment showing proof of long term residence/ job in US.
11. Copy of H1 approval notice and visa copy.
We probably sent more than the minimum required, so you will have to draw your own conclusions on what to send and what to omit.
Good luck!

I called the office and also got my better half to call. BTW I was locked out of the forum for a couple of weeks when after loggin in it was directing me to update my information. which I promptly did but it seems all the fields have meen made mandatory so it kept of directime me to put other information like when I applied for my I 485 which I haven't but I had to eventually put some garbage data. can some one look into this, I am sure there are a lot of other IV members being blocked out.
Thanks in Advance.

I called Kennedy and Cornyn. Asked them if they are aware of the issue. They are not. Did you call? Kennedy 202 224 4543, Cornyn 202 224 2934. I also aksed if Kennedy is going to send letters to two agencies as Rep Lofgren did as he is the senate immigration sub committe chair
This is what makes sense for now...calling senators/congressmen.
Everyone, please try calling these numbers instead of USCIS customer service.

On Thomas most of the amendments were ordered to "lie on the table". If these amendments are not considered most of the sponsors & co-sponsors of these amendments may not support the final bill. That would be a good thing for us. Blessing in disguise!!

I have had good experience with Wayne Chapple Law Firm in Hartford CT. I am dealing with Attorney Taras, and he has been extremely prompt and has responded to all my queries/ update request in a very timely fashion, despite the fact that my employer paid for all the processes. They have handled my case from H1 to GC...I would definitely recommend him!

Based on the wording of the visa distribution law, it does not look like the pattern change is a permanent one. The pattern might change again as per USCIS whims and fancy.
Read the part "Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of State to determine the procedures for the processing of immigrant visa applications or the locations where such applications will be processed."

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
Fun apart, if you feel comfortable that you can find a job of your liking, and you believe your background will qualify you for a PR, consider Canada. It is a good place to live. You never miss home there. I am a Cdn citizen and have lived there for many years. Most likley I'll return back to Canada when I decide to retire. I know at least one person, who after living in the US for 11 yrs and unsuccessful in getting a GC, chose to make Canada his home, hoping to be there just for 3 yrs (needed to be a citizen), and then return to the US on TN permit. He has been in Canada for 8 yrs, and does not want to consider to move to the US any more.
Canada has a bit slower life, but is better socially and people are friendlier. It has less professional opportunities, lower pay and more tax. Yet, overall I think Canada is a better place to live. Why am I in the US? Purely for professional reasons. I visit Canada quite frequently, which I consider as my home.

Does anybody know how long an H1B visa can remain valid (including grace period) after a layoff ? What I know, is an H1B technically becomes invalid the day you stop rendering your services to your employer. The firm's lawyer suggested me to file for B1/B2 visitors visa to avoid going out-of-status.
If I do that, can I transfer my H1B visa (from B1B2) once I get a job? Or will I have to struggle against some quota?
Can anybody suggest a good lawyer in New York City or near Hoboken, NJ who can help we with all this? I tried contacting Cyrus Mehta, but he seems to be booked for another week.
Btw, thanks for the overwhelming response to my request for resources to find a job. While I am evaluating my options, please keep me in consideration for any openings that you see.
Thanks.
Technically there is no grace period. Get a job ASAP and you need 2 pay-stubs for transfer.You can even do without pay-stubs but you may have to go out for I-94. Best way is to transfer to B1/B2 and you can come back to H1b without any problem.

I think the right way is for it to move laterally. If the govt wants 40,000 EB-1's it should get that number or atleast close to it. No point in some one in EB-1waiting for their GC when it filters down to a lower category. Also no point talking about why everything has to be equal. It is not, thats why they have set EB1,EB2 and EB3.Each requires a different skill set. People would not have raised this issue if this was an EB1-EB2 issue. Only because it is a EB2-EB3 issue there is so much outcry. If they have laterally used EB-1 if there was high demand in EB-1 no body would have raised the issue as they know what skills EB-1 needs. Now that it moved laterally in EB-2 some EB-3's who think they are as qualified as EB-2's is creating all this issue. Again you should have applied in EB2 than EB3 instead of raising questions on why EB2 moved forward.
Also its not like it is current or anything. EB-3 ROW is still better than EB2 India/China and for Christ's sake EB2 India was unavailable last 2 months......
