I cannot agree with you more.
Until H1B and GC are based on individual's credentials, there will be no protection on foreign workers, American workers and salary stability.

Hey Vijjus, what did they do wrong? I thought they were pretty good. Could you please share a little bit more.
Thanks
Never trust the FDBL assholes. They've screwed me multiple times in the past and the irony is that I've paid them for that.

Hi Folks,
My PD got current at today's Visa Bulletin. Presently I live in SF City, California but we are in the process of move from California to Texas. We will be finally move to TX during Sept-2007. My questions are:
1. Can we move from CA to TX after I-485/EAD/AP is filed from California?
2. We do have a PO address is Texas now and have an apartment in CA for next 5 months.
Do you recommend to use the Texas PO Box address instead of California Apartment address for USCIS I-485 application such that we can avoid the Change of Address with USCIS later?
3. What are RISKS of moving from state to state during I-485 process? Did anyone do that in this forum?
Please advise - thanks

USCIS does not differentiate US or Indian degrees.. Yes US degree has its own advantages... It more than just LEARNING...
Education is a bigger word than learning... Institutions can impart learning only... You can be highly learned with big degrees... still not educated :-)
Take a chill pill friends... Degree is important to USCIS like MPG (miles per gallon) to Car.. as its a basis to compare different entities :-)

Agreed lets not bash illegals in public. My point is 'legal Path' for illegals has just become almost impossible with the current congress and senate configuration.
Lets focus our efforts on piece meal instead that have provisions to fix employment visa backlog.

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!

We really need help and support from IV'ans like you to make this initiative successful. We really need to raise our targeted funds and meet the goals of Team IV for this year.
Thanks santb1975 & NolaIndian for creating this. I am going to ask a friend who ran half marathon last year. I am still contemplating whether I will be able to keep the commitment, since the only exercise I do is walk to and from my car :D

I am reading this article for a while and wondering what heck is going on. There is not a question of buying vs renting . This has nothing to do with the quality of life .
We all know every one would love to own a house. But everyone can not dare to become owner in this country.
1) Home prices are still unreachable
2) H1B/EAD/485 - No surity of Duration in USA
3) Not enough money to buy ,alternative is to rent (we have to get shelter somewhere)
4) Job location is not fixed
Buying is not easy for everyone. When we buy some item which we can afford to lose then buying is very easy . Like we buy Iphone etc after too much reasearch but the price is so little , we always forget about this purchase after week time. Even we broke or loose iphone we do not care after few months.
If we have enough money we can buy ---Buying/shopping is a fun if we have money .
If I will have extra few money , I will go have a dinner with Aishwarya ,that is also a Fun ,
but going for dining at cheap restaurant as well ,knowing that you do not have money to repay is not a fun.
But buying/shopping with debt is not a fun we have to plan very carefully.
As said it is fun ,It is individual choice to buy or rent . All depends upon circumstances.
If your circumstances are favourable owning a home is a fun and I am sure every one wants to have some kind of fixed address to go.
GC or no GC - Irrelevant question.
Buying is habbit. It is good and very funny if you have lot of money . It is very Bad if you do not have enough. At somepoint you have to stop buying (in other words no one lend you).
So guys enjoy life .If you can afford buy house even buy million bug dog no question asked . Plan carefully when you have to buy by means of Loan. If yoy think you are in better position to repay go for buying necessary part of life like house. If you 100% sure that million bug doggy is not going to put any whole in you pocket ,go for it guys....

All,
I have created a letter template (linked below), I have a couple questions that I have put in the comments so you guys can provide some input.
I am going to create another template that you can use to fill in your name and other related information (naidu2543 brought up a good point and I am somewhat skeptical on adding the case number. Admins, any input?). I think we should all have hand-written signature (not typed) in that letter.
I am going to provide a fax number and email address, where each one of you can send the signed sheet.
I think there should be a benchmark for the signature, before we can send it out. From the polls, I see 69 people said that they would support the initiative, I think its reasonable to expect at least 65 people will send their signatures, before we can send the letter out.

IV Admins.,
Please review the letter and let us know if you have any input to the questions I have in the letter.
WaitingBoy, I added your case and the link has the updated file.
For comment 2: Since you are giving IV address, you can use IV's name and request to check reference of the sheets which contains name,case....etc.
For case number, I already asked the same question to Ron and posted the reply. He believes, if there is no case number and there wont be any weightage or immportance.

Hi,
I saw response from one of the moderator.
I think that we need to point out to law makers that employment based petitioners are being differentiated from citizens . Whlie in their case the date of child is frozen on the date of the I-130 application, why not same treatment should be given for I-140.
I again hope our Core Team members will take up this issue.

Why can't you search for preapproved labor to file I485 quickly?
It is indeed unfair to the people whose applications are struck in BEC forever. The people who are still stuck in BEC are the very first ones to enter the queue. The BECS are now processing oldest cases now.
My guess is dates are going to move back by september any way and the probability of one getting GC who files in next month before the dates move back is very low.
Most of us here have to get ready for 5 or 6 years on EAD any way.

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.

So why didn't we accept the current retrogression as "injustice and screwed up process of USCIS" and just sat tight? Why did IV get started? Why threadful of messages moaning in agony over the retrogression? What warranted those threads, and for that matter, IV then?
There are no 2 ways to this.. it is injustice and screwed up process of DOL and USCIS.....but the situation (DOL) is no different than 1 day ago. it should not warrant you to start this thread.

I do not have a GC which means my entry in US is not guaranteed the next time I visit my home country. Period. The risk is simply not worth taking. Congrats to those for whom it worked out. You are far and few people.
I recently had the taste of this experience when my wife got 221(g) at Mumbai Consulate and had to enter using AP. Imagine if she did not have an AP and if we had a home what would we do?
Today in this scenario we can atleast sell everything we have and cash out of US. The stakes and dependency gets higher if we own a house. I would advise anyone against "investing" money in US when you dont have a GC.
I bought a property in India in the meantime and the value has doubled and I am pretty happy about it.
