As soon as some one expresses his frustration, person is automatically labeled as a bad guy.
A short digression to an answer.
Most CS undergraduate curriculums have a 4 course sequence CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. This means that CS-3 is pre-requisite for CS-4, .... In CS-4 it is not possible to answer CS-1 questions. The instructor gets irritated if you do that.
Your following concerns are covered in Retrogression 101.
1. Things change in DC. Core had some info in Dec/Jan that changed.
2. No one can promise anything. Bush is the most ardent supporter of CIR but can (will) not get it done.
Nothing happening as some core members wrote in very optimistic tone about Feb 15. No congressman is even talking about it lately.
Are core members trying to just enroll more by giving hollow promises?
It is very irritating for someone in Retrogression 401 to answer Retrogression 101 questions at the rate of 1 per day with no desire to be educated.
I have tried to answer a Retrogression 101 question in Issues surrounding Immigration Voice's disclosure of Funds (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3236&page=5). My answer was from a URL without my opinions. This thread was devoted to this one person. The answers had no effect on the person. We wasted a day on it.
Forget contributions - find other ways to survive......
A lot of people, including me have lost faith in IV. They are not going to pay. We don't know what IV is working on and we don't believe it can do anything. The sooner IV accepts it, the better. I have seen this personally in talking to people and you can see the evidence with less than 300 people contributing. IV needs to produce results first.

In my view H1B problem is directly related to Retrogression problem. Lets step backwards and analyze this.
Why so many GC were applied at the first place that caused retrogression. Because a large number of people came on H1B to US. All these people who came to US on H1b did not actually had any extraordinary skills. These people somehow got in touch with these Desi Consulting companies and came here without any skill and without any projects. These desi consulting companies applied there GC irrespective of the fact that these guys have a job or not. Some of the people I know have sat on bench for years, living with their relatives, unable to get any job. But they had their labour filed. These knid of people would not have made to US, if these fadudent companies were not there.
Also big companies, have a policy not to apply GC before one year of service. The point was that these companys will file GC only if they feel that the employee adds value to the company. But with these desi companys people have filed GC even before joining the companys.
In essence if the GC process was working without these Desi companies, I can bet that the number of GC applied would have been much lower than what have we currently have.
Substituted labor has further added to this problem.
H1B problems have nothing to do with retrogression.
If H1B employees are being mistreated by a certain class of employers, then what does that have to do with shortage of visa numbers?
Nothing.
Misuse and abuse of H1B program did not cause retrogression. And if the abuse ends, its not going to end retrogression. The H1B program does provide ammunition to anti-immigrants to use that paint-brush and paint the entire program of H1B and Employment based GC as bad. Fortune 500 companies dont engage in unethical behavior. The TCS, Wipro etc maybe do that. Small bodyshops certainly do that. I am yet to see a small body-shop, operated by a citizen of foriegn origin, working by the book and treating employees well.
But all said and done, these things make our life more difficult and exacerbate the situation that arose from retrogression. However, these things didnt cause retrogression.
At the most, these issues of H1B abuse may have provided support to some groups in keeping the H1B quota down. However, it has nothing to do with EB quota. In fact, IEEE-USA advocates bringing down H1B quota and RAISING the employment based GC quota, in order to remove factors that encourage employer abuse.

Finally I am a US citizen after being 10+ years in this country. This is one of my biggest fulfillments and it means everything to me. US is just not home anymore for me, it is my country.
I wish everyone the best and hope they get GC very soon.
Proud to be an indian-american and legal immigrant.
Good Luck!
Congrats! Well, in my case, I would become a Senior Citizen before I become a Citizen of this country. :D My signature says it all.

There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing Aman's expenses.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10708
Could you please pledge an amount ?
I know Aman has made a no. of trips to DC & these are not cheap.
Let us all contribute to pay back all his trips .
I am serious about it as people have no idea what people like Aman & others have done / sacrificed. If fact, we should authorize the Money Manager of IV to immediately release the entire amount Aman & others have spent since 19th December 2005.
I am sure IV must have funds to handle this... if not, atleast start a part payment each month immediately
I do not know, what is IV's internal procedure for these situations.

I totally agree everbody. ICICI bank all time sucks. I have account with them for 5 yrs. and everytime I do transfer money to India (FYI I do Wire Trasnfer On Monday morning US CST only should be credited in 1 business day, expected that the money will be credited by Tuesday IST ICICI Business time). What happens eveytime they will credit after 5 business days and provided with lowest Exchange rate. I had big fight with poor customer service people.
One time funny thing happend. I did wire transfer money from my local back to New york bank (ICICI) . My local bank confirmed in an hour that the money got credited in NY bank. I thought money was credited to my local ICICI bank back India in 1 day. Now fun started I was counting the days 1,2,3,4,5, etc... nothing happend. God know what happend to money. I called CSR... I explained her "money transferred to NY bank a week ago." still not credited to ICICI bank. She was telling me that, I should transfer money again then they will deposit the money. I was totally pissed off for their answer. I said, her money already debited from my local bank and money is sittling in NY Bank(account of ICICI). After 1 1/2 hr on the phone she repeatedly tells me that deposit the money again... I hang up the phone, and wrote a big letter to ICICI Mumbai. Then then deposited me the money. Finally claiming that the money was not showing in NY bank that is the reason they were unable to credit in ICICI NRI Bank.

On USCIS website I-130 is also pending along with I-485.
At I-485 interview IO said only thing keeping my freedom (GC) away from me is NC.
Does that mean I-130 is going to clear automatically once the NC is cleared ? or do I have to be worried about that separately?

I am sure it is, I am a CP candidate, till now AOS dates mirrored CP dates and vice versa, so this time also it has to be true!!! Usually consulates get the dates b4hand from DOS, as they have to schedule interviews. I hope I'll be scheduled for the interview this april.
Hi Soma,
Can you please elaborate your case as a CP like how you opted for CP and how long you have been waiting? I have applied for 485 and my PD is 2006, so out of question my date will be current soon but i would like to go back to india to take care of my parents and then when my PD is current I can come back.
Thanks

Whatever the hide and seek game be, we the actual filers will never suffer.
Adding to that there is an independent case already filed in the US courts, so we are on a stronger wicket.
Again, USCIS cannot keep our application in cold storage without extending us the benefits of pending I-485 application.
We will get the good news soon.

I hope I am totally wrong , but if USCIS has decided to put July 2nd applications in COLD STORAGE , then July 2nd filers are in for a long & bumpy ride.I hope we don't become the rolling stone in the game between AILA & USCIS.
What a shame? For hiding their own shortcomings , they are playing such horrible games with our future.
Peace.

As I said I am not economy guru, we can read history after 5 years. My point is gold was not inflation proof , last 50 years return was less than other investment types and high volatile.
If you are considering gold for investment how would physical gold differ from ETF?
For me it is easy to sell ETF from my desk since I would get same value as physical gold.

Beatifully said Logiclife,
Also as a teacher in training I can only say that every single person counts and every single person can and does make a difference...
We can make a world better place, one person at the time.
And we do act in the interest of this great country. Let's contemplate this for a moment..
We are highly educated, skilled law abiding immigrants. Since we do possess diverse skills, we will be always welcome in Canada, Australia or New Zeland, and other similar pro-immigrant oriented countries. But we choose to stay here and make this country our home and make this country even greater for our children.
The process is not easy, and we have a unique opportunity to get something accomplished that will not only affect us but everyone who comes after us.
I have just scheduled a transfer of 150$ (confirmation # 55TVH-LHHNH )towards our new goald and I urge all memebers who did not contribute to please do so and others that have done that in the past to come back and show their support..
United we will win
Thank you

I just thought I will play the devil's advocate.
It could be that $100 or $50 is a big amount for people. Maybe people do not make $80K a year, just half of that (there are may H1Bs like that). Micro-payments may be a better option for some people. Do we want to disallow those contributions as well? People who want to pay will pay and people who do not want to pay will not pay. I guess we just have to make sure that we donot deny the people who want to pay but cannot. :)
I am willing to go along with monthly payments as there seems to be a consensus on this forum that it is the best option.
Cheers
Thanks for your contribution.
Right, IV is not officially promoting this, and rightly so... every contributing member will then sign up for $10 a month, everyone else will complain about why it is not $5 a month.
What I meant is, if someone wants to contribute $60 over 6 months, they can do it rightaway. Just paypal it to donations at immigrationvoice.org, then remember to do it again after 6 months.
Why wait for IV to lay the red carpet, when you can walk in right now?
If there is the WILL, there is a way. But if you decide to wait for some scheme to sign up thousands of $10 contributors, then the day WILL never come.
This is not targetted to you, but this is for anyone & everyone who has been "considering" contributing for the last seveal weeks/months/years thinking about it everyday over a $2.5 cafe latte.

if a background check reveals that you had been on H-1 you won't be eligible for Z visa. You have to come up with a new face, new name, and new ID. Looks daunting but less daunting than getting GC legally.
I totally agree. They want to issue visas to all of them in a year... They will have more RFEs for legals than illgeal so people should work towards their temporary permnanent residency that is Z

Now with Atlas America off...What's the best alternative?, I'm running out of time here...
Friends, please suggest. I bought ICICI lombard 3 times previously, never had to use it, so no comments there. Now, I'm thinking of buying something better as I had heard horrible things about ICICI lombard.
Anybody who has had a parent with diabetes and taken insurance? If there were any problems, did the insurance pay the costs? If possible can you also mention what problems came up during the stay.
Thanks.
