Agreed the statement "Indian Americans are brilliant" is too much generalisation, but Many of the immigrants from India and China are here because they are highly educated, so they put a lot of emphasis on academics, as a sports star might on his/her children in sports, likewise a movie star.
Its better to be guided by aspirations than to be misguided by carelessness.
This is the third time an Indian American has won the competition in a row.
BTW, the huge number of Indian American partcipants is not due to the fact that " Indian Americans" are brilliant... These children (at least most) are partcipating not becasue they have talent but they are being forced to by the aspirations of their parents.
All the Indian American children are crying, sitting on the lap of their parents etc... See any other kid who lost, they were cool.

It is a competition, Indian kids are winning. This is not ultimate thing in life. Still last night it was highly viewed, coveted title and winning it is not a small achievement. I would say just be happy for them.
I am happy for the girl and their family. I wish her best of luck and hope she would become BEST neurosurgeon in USA.

vishwak,
I just got off the call from uscis regarding my I-485. My PD is in the first week of Mar 2006.
Per the USCIS website, they are suppose to process even the first week of Mar 2006 although the Aug VB says it is 01MAR06. I spoke to the second level IO and he was confident that my case would have to wait for the next month. I insisted that the uscis website says otherways, he went and verified with the third level (or his peer) and came back and told me that I was correct.
Infact told me that my case was pre-adjd and being reviewed by IO currently.
I am sure the same applies to you with the Sep VB. Good luck !!!
Note: This is not a legal advice and don't quote me on it.
How long does the IO usually take to review 485 cases (assuming that the case has been pre-adjtd.) ? Gurus...pls post your thoughts

Going back might be a good call. But the truth is, no matter how much money you got, how secured you are, the bottom-line is that the call has to come from the individual.
I will share my concern. I was 23 when I moved here and I already spent 10 years of prime life here in this country. After finishing my college, I worked in India for a year and half, and as any young adult I grew up thinking one day, I will change the way life operates in India. There is a system which operates India. It is powerful, normal human like you and I cannot overcome the system. People like Gandhi could, they are willing to sacrifice them self for the best of others. Or you could people like our current politicians who know how to work the system. People like lallu, Jaya, Karunanidhi, Naidu etc, they grew up as a part of the system. For them even when killing someone, they might not feel the remorse. But you and I cannot even bribe without feeling bad, which is good. But the question is how long can you sustain that? I am not 23 anymore; Now, I know what responsibility is all about. I have 2 kids; I don�t know whether I am hard enough to fight the system at this current stage of my life.
There is a famous quote, which states that there is a breaking point for every human, once we are pushed beyond that point, your action does not originate from your brain. In other words you will become part of the system.
For me this is the main concern. When I talk to people here who wants to go back, they say that they will buy a house in some close community and they will live a happy life inside. For me that�s a fools dream. You cannot shut off from others, may be for a month or two, soon you have to face the real world.
So the answer for your question like in this question. How are you going to handle the system in India? I do not believe that things will change. May be in 25 years; Not anytime soon. So until then you have to live a life where in you have to adjust to the system.
I do not have an answer to the question. How will I manage the day to day life? If you know the answer let me know
- ;)
is the answer :-0). Remember in life you have to have an attitude of respecting others, if u think you need to be treated specially cause you have lived in America 10yrs then u would be definitely disappointed. A lot of my friends have relocated to India and I am too early next year. The only answer is attitude.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt and spontaneous post. I knew about what these people have written, but thought it was no point getting into discussion because some of the postings seemed to be so immature.
However, just so you know, here is the background,
[a] One of the reporters of Indian Express telephoned for my comments and the flower campaign, and wanted to know what was happening. I gave him the background, and my analysis, however, it exactly happened as you put it � the reporter assumed that I was one of the organizers, since I am so often involved in US-India affairs.
[b] Had I wanted to take credit, I would not have even mentioned Immigration Voice to the reporter (the reporter wrote �Emigration Voice�, on his own probably)
It beats common sense for me to try for credit in this matter � there is too much on my plate already, and I was not at all involved in this campaign. If there was absolutely nothing I was doing, then where is the logic for me to inflate my role or ego? But yes, I have been involved as an analyst, and well wisher, of this campaign and Immigration Voice by letting so many countless people � in media and politics, in the US and India � know of this very fine initiative.
Also, just by the way, more than two days ago, before this Indian Express story came out, another media, NDTV had approached me to help them connect with the people in the campaign � and I asked a colleague of mine to inform IV; and Aman was sent an email with the name, and contact details of the NDTV reporter in New York. Plus, the CNN-IBN reporter who covered this story (the same story / video about which many of IV people are so proud on their blogs) � she was instructed by her Delhi office to follow this story only after I spoke to their international affairs editor (him and I were talking about the Lal Masjid matter in Pakistan, and then we got talking about general matters, and its then that I familiarized him of this interesting campaign happening, and he immediately sent messages so that CNN-IBN should cover this story).
In fact even before Surabhi posted on IV yesterday re this matter, at least 36 hours before that I had written an email to Aman Kapur on my own and informed him that the news report had incorrectly mentioned that I am a coordinator of the campaign. After writing to Aman I considered my duty done � as any such little misunderstanding should be clarified between mature people who are in public life.
I have been in this business too long, too deep, and too wide, to know and understand that the media at times makes mistakes in its interpretations �
It does feel very warm, nice, and grateful to know that you went and gave them your candid and immediate opinion. Thank you so much my friend!

If you were not told the correct bill rate, you can recover that money. Simply ask them in writing to show you the contract since you are on 70/30 basis. The written contracts, oral contracts, emails all stand in the court but how will you prove an oral contract? If you have found an offer that meets your expectations just quit. We all make the same mistakes. We spend our time on working out things where they are not working. Just "quietly" without your employer getting a hint, find a job and quit.

The only reason i feel this so called "family-bill" will not generate too much anti-immigrant sentiment is because it doesn't have the baggage of being termed the CIR bill.
The very mention of the word CIR stirs up strong responses and emotions from all parties involved.
This bill seems to tackle a smaller problem rather than going for a big bang solution that the CIR would attempt. That's why i felt it might have a better chance to succeed.
Thanks for all the other info. Much appreciated.

This is just some lawyer's opinion. Their "solution" though didn't work for me at least. Nobody asked for any "business neccessity justification". They simply denied my case automatically as I told before.

In the state of Mass delivery is covered by the State provided you show you don't have insurance. Millions of single moms are delivering and many are teenagers and many are w/o any insurance. Delivery is considered an emergency and you will be covered. Keep your spirits up and bear the storm.....it always gets darkest before you see light again.

I tend to think a point system is better than what we have now. One thing though is that the points should be allocated "properly". For example, more points should be given to people with higher education, who earned a US degree, who have worked in the US for more years, who have paid more taxes, etc.
Someone mentioned a good point is about the visa number limits. If the per country limits are not eliminated, the points system won't solve the problem. Of course, they should also give more points to people who have passed Labor and I140 and allow them to adjust status right away. Otherwise, we will further get stuck in all the backlogs. Poor us. :(
I think if all the above issues are solved/cleared, probably a point system is good for us (i.e., EB based immigrants who are now stuck due to backlogs and retrogression). :p
Once you have a point system , a whole lot of people will be qualified, many more than currently on H1B from other countries , it will again clog the system, remember for canada the waiting time in india is 5 years now for skilled people who have enough points.
Again it goes to the basics how many skilled ot semi-skilled people they want in this country.
thanks
