Air France still does not get it. neither do other euro nations, Nor does Australia.
They are now dealing with a entirely different generation of Asians who do not care if they were once a developed nation or that they can manufacture aircrafts.
The reply is still suggestive of they taking care of the passengers and handling the situation well. No, they did not.
A technical aircraft problem is something that every airline faces everyday.
Air France not having a plan to care of non-american or non-eurpoean indians is completely their fault and outright racist. and that too a flight which is flying to India?
Did they expect everyone on the flight to be from a EU or North American nation, and that they will not require transit visas.
No, they simply did not care. They just did not make arrangement for Indian residents and hid behind the transit visa excuse.
If they wanted, they could have arranged for a Airport Transit visa for eveyone who did not have one.
But no, they assumed that regardless of how we treat them, an indian is going to fly Air France again if that is the cheapest option.
Funny is, that might be true, but that demographics is changing so fast that they better keep not caring, cos Indians will not fly with them anyways.

I agree with OP that we should know what's going on. But at the same time there is nothing called free lunch in this world. I suppose some guys in this forum have lot of time and energy to vent it out on each other. We won't achieve anything with all this fighting... but seems we are best in altercating with each other. Some times I just wonder whether folks out here are really skilled immigrants (gimme red dots)?? We should better do something constructive..
I realized making a small contribution will not hurt me even in this economy... so contributed $25.

All,
I have recently applied for my H1 extension and have recieved the reciept. My current H1 is about to expire.
Can I apply for AP. (Assuming USCIS looks at my AP application before my H1 extension is approved)
Anyone who has successfully done the same, please suggest.
Thanks.

Those who had real genuine reasons will attend next time. Those feeling guilty of not attending, contribute 100, 200 whatever....[ I'm not at all pushy here, just requesting] that'll help IV more than posting your reasons. IV core are not "Agony Uncles" or "Agony Aunts" to counsel us on our personal problems or guilt issues!
Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with those who had backpain, who were forced by the bosses etc. There is NOTHING IV CAN DO ABOUT IT (real genuine reasons). For those complaining about money, there was a thread on IV to sponsor tickets, provide accomodations etc. Why didn't you use those?
So whoever posts their "Confession" next, please sweeten it by showing you've done your penance - by posting details of your latest contribution to IV, done to atone your absence. That way, it will it help you get over your guilt (if you really have it), and also shutup those who question your genuineness.
if the movers of this thread have no objection i would like to close it.
i hope though in the meanwhile we can turn the discussion to more productive directions. there is much to be done yet.

I got approval email too. It cant be sheer luck that so many people are getting the approvals when it was taking 3 months as per their published processing times. Looks to me they just want to give 1 yr EAD to as many as possible. Good way to make money in recession year.

I just wonder how long it will be untill EB3 ROW is current. ???
When will EB3 ROW become current, or current for YOU? The answer would be different depending on your exact question.
Without administrative and legislative changes, the answer to number one is "a very long time" and I think I'd be safe to say that is a conservative estimate. For the record, I'm also EB3 ROW, with a PD of early 2004. I would say that would be current in 3 or 4 years
There are roughly 200 countries in the world. It is very simple maths to figure out that 200 * 9800 (the 7% limit per country) = about 1,960,000. Its pretty obvious that this is much more than the limit of 140,000 total per annum.. and you begin to see why there is a problem. Sure - each country has a 7% theroetical limit, but not EVERY country will use that in a year. Of ROW countries, UK is pretty close to its 7% per year. Others, like Lichenstein are not (or they would all be in the US and the country would not be just one big vacation home)

Lawsuit will not help you. See AILA lawsuit for Visa Bulletin. USCIS did not even negotiate with AILA and chose to negotitate with IV. So you need to learn from it.
AILA now feels defeated because they could not show themselves as the protector of this community. If you see the lawsuit text by AILF, it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees, but does not asks for moeny for Medical exam and mental agony. So if you are going to trust your lawyers to help you, then good luck.
By the way, your Indian lawyer I dont know the name, sued DOL once and lost.
Secondly, how are you going to pay for the lawsuit? People here dont even want to pay $20 and you will need 20K or more for a lawsuit. Do you think you can raise that much?
Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda. Instead of supporting IV you are creating your own selfish agenda and not listening to IV. I have seen lot of offensive messages by you guys. You guys celebrated when all of us got screwed
I do not support your agenda.
Although, some people may call it SELFISH AGENDA and advice not to use IV platform, I strongly support the cause. Some people may advice that once the labor is cleared, people with 2001/2002/2003... PDs will be at the front of the line. But, when those old labors are cleared, will they be able to apply for I485? DOL may say that by September 30 the backlog will be cleared. Is there any gurantee? Even all are cleared, they will not be able to apply for 485 now (has to apply by August 17). I think some SELFISH people with recent PDs are scared as people with older PDs may take the quota.
Regarding IV platform, it is an organization for the GC sufferers and by the GC sufferers. So this is of course the right place. If IV is busy with other issues, then people have to start their own fighting.
I am neither sure about the legal complications nor have any idea about the legal fees (or who will pay it) etc. Better consult attorneys about the viability of the case.
BTW, my labor is not in BEC and I have already contributed $500 to IV.

I was not talking about Hindi in particular. I simply meant the language local to the place you are at, be it any city or state in India or the US.

Most EB2's who are talking on this forum are idiotic, egostic and too much of themselves to think straight. Case in point Smugbee, SNathan and TonyHK. Since they don't have ead they want ead and thats all they care about. As long as they get to file 485 and get ead they dont care.
When an eb3 complains about waiting for GC he/she is a whiner and has to recognize the superiority of an EB2 getting GC before EB3 even if teh EB2 is 1 year in thsi country and EB3 has been waiting for 12 years.
When an eb2 complains about not having ead his concerns are valid and nothing else is more important on IV thean that
Eb2 are there in Eb2 for a reason and Eb3 are there in Eb3 for a reason.

Dear Pappu
The initiative and effort you and other administrators doing at Immigration voice is commendable. As I have taken up new job only recently i am not able to make it for the advocacy day at Washington. But I had contributed for the advocacy day seperate and the confirmation number is Transaction ID: 8PU10373M6541872R.
Thanks again for all your time and effort.

EB3 (India) moved 2 months. Good news. But then?
What you expect for Eb3 guys? What may be the trend in coming months?
2002....2003....2004.....?
I dont think many labors were filed between september 2001 and Dec 2002. Due to bad market and frequent layoffs during that time. My guess is EB3 will get to 2003 soon, may be before end of this year.

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
When Sanders got his amendment he actually was giving sops to the IEEE folks as he surely knew that he couldnot get the H1B numbers reduced. On the other hand note that Cantwell is from Washington (Microsoft's state) and has garnered support from Leahy, Cornyn and Hatch. So this amendment comes from both sides of the aisle and once the $5000 fee is in place for the H1B it is difficult for Durbin/Grassley and the rest to really argue otherwise at this point. Infact didn't Durbin et al. get some additional restrictions in place for H1-B's?
Lets hope for the best.....Should we be specifically targeting some Senators for phone calls about SA 1249?????

[QUOTE=eb3_nepa]That said, I would also like to second the statement quoted above and slightly expand it. Here in Texas, there is a statement usually made as one sits down to a table to play cards, "House rules." That means that, by sitting down at the table, you are implicitly agreeing to abide by the rules as established by that particular house. By obtaining a visa from the US government, you have _explicitly_ agreed to abide by the rules set by the US government. To claim that they are somehow "unfair" or "discriminatory", especially after you have agreed to them, implies, IMHO, that you had no intention of abiding by them when you accepted the visa.
During my career, I have investigated opportunities to work in a few other countries and have consistently found that they had significant barriers to a US citizen coming into the country to "take jobs from their citizens". While I might have enjoyed working, for instance, in the UK or Australia, I also accepted that their governments had the right to set their own "house rules". I guess, though, it may be too much to ask to expect similar consideration for the US government's right to set _its_ own "house rules," no matter how quirky they may seem to others.
We need to understand if we have illegals coming from different country and get a job, why not Legals on H4??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Last few lines of this artice is clear about Senate mood. Even IV wants to lobby sepeately for gc numbers IV has to come up with reasonable numbers based on requirement. Arbitary numbers or blanket exemptions will have more chance for failure.
But unless they can prove that they system is not currently being abused, and unless they can come up with specific figures for the number of visas required, they will have a hard time persuading lawmakers that the cap needs to be raised beyond the current proposal of 115,000.

they dont care about the 115k fgure they just want us masters exempt whom they can employ as full employees
