I m a new applicant for EB 3 gc born in india.....just starting my process......with my PD being sometime in later half of 2009,do u think canada is a better option?......EB 3 india right now looks like a good 10-12 years wait time!!.......pls advice about canada immigration and is it a viable option?
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.

"Democratic strategist from the centrist wing of the party, said in an interview before the news conference that prospects for the kind of broad immigration reform the president wants -- tough enforcement coupled with some kind of pathway to citizenship for long-time illegal immigrants -- may have improved with more Democrats elected to Congress."

If 32k calculation is correct (which looks like - yes), then EB2 is not just fixed for time being, it will be fixed for ever. In turn, it will help all our EB friends going forward.
Based on your calculation its 27849 additional visas + 1/3 of 9,800 (=3,266) = 31115 for EB2 India for 2008 fiscal year and the coming years ahead.
So this is almost 10 times more visas fo EB2 India. So EB2 is going to be fixed for the time being.

My current H1B was sponosred through an educational institution and was hence cap exempt. Will I be able to transfer my current H1B if I decide to move to a private company?
Thanks!
When I spoke to my Lawyer about the same issue he said that if the H1B visa was never counted against the quota, you can not unless the visa numbers are available in the fiscal year. He also mentioned that the move into for profit company would be considered as a new visa and should counted against the quota.

my friend.. thanx for your kind words
u and ur non-retrogressed friend have my support for an expedited process since u got US advanced degree that make u better suited for this market.. u should be talking STEM.. i am talking about the disparity in available opportunities to come here back in our homelands. Individual examples aside, I trust statistics, you'll find that each year a handful of giant offshoring companies grab more than half the H1 quota.. is it my streotyping imagination that infosys, wipro and satyam don't hold job fairs in Romania and they only make these opportunities available in retrogressed countries? and don't give me the condescending excuse that if these companies only hire in retrogressed companies then talented, educated people must only exist in the retrogressed countries.
Anyway, i had this discussion many times here .. radical issue where people hardly change their minds..
peace..
Thank you. You seem like a rational person who is balanced in arguments. I can give you real life examples too. Let me start with that. In 2005 I and my friend from a non-retrogressed country graduated with a masters, same degree same specialization.
Now THAT is over-generalization. You think all of us Indians and Chinese get jobs as soon as we graduate in giant offshoring cos? My friend you're stereotyping. It is wrong to assume that we get our jobs because of our nationality and not our skills.
Anyway, continuing with my example. My friend and I both found jobs after a few months of struggle in small boutique consulting companies (run by Americans), mind you no offshoring. In fact my friend's sponsor is Indian, my sponsor is American!
Very subjective. My own example, none of my fellow-graduates were in the plight.
Yup. Standing your turn in line is fair. And that's what needs to change. EB visas are about skills and not nationality.
You need to quit stereotyping and being unfair to us by saying we get jobs because of our nationalities. Brother, you don't get degrees or jobs because you're Indian or Chinese, but because you add value.

Guys this is great, we can all ask our friends and colleagues to sign letters and we can all secure them by paying for the stamps ourselves. I am not sure my husband knows I have shares in the post office now, but I think he would whole-heartedly support it, and he supports what I am doing!
Look at Digital2k's amazing number at the front of this thread, now that is inspiring!!! Come on folks, let's get crazy on this!!! :)

WASHINGTON � Carlsbad Rep. Brian Bilbray and other �anti-amnesty� House Republicans delivered a sharp warning Tuesday that compromise immigration legislation pending in the Senate faces raucous and determined opposition if it reaches the House.
�The way you stop illegal immigration is not to start by announcing that you're going to reward illegal immigration,� said Bilbray, chairman of the 107-member Immigration Reform Caucus.
Advertisement
The group, made up of 100 Republicans and seven Democrats, opposes the Senate and Bush administration proposal to legalize the nation's 12 million illegal immigrants as part of a broad package of immigration reforms.
The Senate recently debated and shelved the proposal but is moving toward a second round of debate. If the Senate passes it, attention then will shift to the House.
Last year, with Republicans controlling both sides of Capitol Hill, the House passed an enforcement-only bill while the Senate approved a sweeping legalization. With the two chambers moving in opposite directions, both bills died.
This year, Democrats control both the House and Senate. For that reason, it is unclear whether Bilbray and his largely Republican caucus would be able to defeat the legalization legislation again this year.
However, that didn't stop them from talking tough Tuesday in rejecting the latest gambit by proponents in the Senate to win over balky Republicans � a promise to spend $4.4 billion on border enforcement.
�Only in Washington would people believe that throwing money at the problem is going to solve it,� said Bilbray. �This is a blatant attempt by senators to extort votes so they can fast track an amnesty plan.�
�It's time to be resolute; it's time to show some backbone, and it's time to stop amnesty,� said Peter King, R-N.Y., who added that he would soon introduce enforcement-only legislation that would require a crackdown both at the border and at the workplace.
Bilbray claimed that public outrage against the Senate bill has stunned many Democrats, making them wary of supporting the Senate approach.
The Senate could take up the immigration bill late this week, beginning votes on a series of amendments expected to be presented by Republicans and Democrats. A final vote on the measure could come as soon as next week.
Senate passage would send the bill to the House, where it would go through a subcommittee that includes several outspoken critics of legalization.
Tamar Jacoby of the conservative Manhattan Institute, a proponent of legalization, said the fight in the House, if it occurs, �is going to be bitter. It's going to be hand-to-hand combat.�

This is the newslink what we discussed earlier on IEEE-USA's view on CIR:
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...oreign-workers
This says "Combined with the H-1B visa increases, the Senate bill also includes "substantial increases" in legal permanent immigrant admissions that could have a major impact on the US IT workforce and engineering enterprise, according to IEEE-USA."
IEEE-USA must know the current increase of EB visas in CIR was mainly warranted due to the current backlogs in labor and due to retrogression.
IEEE-USA when issuing statement like this, should understand that making people wait 5-8 years for adjudication is simply unfair.
Let IEEE-USA vouch to reform H-1B later and work to clear the backlogs and retrogression first.
I was a member of IEEE(then eventually IEEE-USA) for 8 years. I cancelled my membership 6 months ago after reading statements issued against us. I have nothing to do with them and I am not going to pay a dime to them in future...

We need 15 more senators to switch to NO for this to fail (not just 5). There will not be another cloture. This cloture gives 30 hours of time to debate those 24 amendments. Then there will be a final vote for the bill with 50+ votes passing the bill. Remenber Dick Cheney, the tie breaker. So we ought to have 51 NO votes.

And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
I completely understand what chaanakya is saying and I have a similar opinion. I understand the concept of "Donor" form and it exclusivity of information if you donate. If I question about the concept, I know I will be put down and if IV wants to move in that direction to reach the goals then so be it. So let me spare you from typing anything against my opinion. The only thing I would want to know is who is the "CORE" of IV now ? I vaguely remember it was up in the website somewhere when I joined in 2006. I don't see it anymore.

excuse my unfamiliarity with the process..
but if I applied for I485 in July, and 485 applications they receive exceeds the visa numbers available for July, what happens? Do they draw lottery to see which 485 apps would be cosidered?
in other words, just making sure the app reaches USCIS in july first wekk, does it guarantee EAD for spouses?
I have the same question - Do dependent spouses get EAD even if dates retrogress after applying for I-485?

My experience is that whether an attorney is good or bad depends on the size of the sponsoring company. My boyfriend was working for a big company and got a really great service with Ogletree Deakins who have offices all over the US. When I was experiencing problems with my attorney, he highly recommended Ogletree and my employer contacted them, and our experience was really bad - they promised a lot of things, then realized it was a small company and was not so interested anymore.
That's why after LC got approved, we decided to file everything pro-se. We have had 3 different attorneys. My case started in 2001 and got stuck in BEC and a PERM case was filed to try to capture my PD from 01, and by looking at my signature you can guess what happened. So, lots of experience with attorneys, not one that could recommend.

Again, Thanks a bunch Desi3933. My case is pretty much same as 'Scenario 1' in this Murthy document.
Desi3933 cleared the 99% of the cloud surrounded this issue by pointing to murthy.com (I maintained valid status with 'Employer #2' and this doc says I am good to go). Thank you very much Desi3933.
Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.
Come on man....there is nothing called transfer. Every H1B is new. Only thing is its not counted against the cap when you change the employer.

You are right, nobody should force you do anything, everything is a personal choice, well only after you have attained a certain age (you don't have choices as a infant ;)). A certain person did mention that you like learning/ speaking english, probably even spanish (eventually :)), but you are uncomfortable because of the attitude of the speakers :), have you ever thought if your attitude is right ?, what make's you think your attitude is better / worse ?, just a thought bro, dont hate, life is too short to hate :)
Exactly...I was getting irriated when people are forcing and telling that I should learn hindi. isnt my personal choice...?
