Another CIR drama prior to November election..
Yes it kind of feels that way. And see the history - in 2007 CIR they wanted to reduce annual visas for employment categories. Slowly they start adding more tidbits for legals to get things passed. There is still a disadvantage for new H1s, L1s.
What if we do it the other way around? Grant immediate GC to all waiting on EB visas. Subject all illegals to probation rules till they are all validated by the FBI in 10 years. currently illegals identified are sent to detention, and some are put on electronic monitoring.
Let them compete with American citizen labor at American wage levels determined by the govt. Similar to how H1b wage is determined.
EB categories have per country limit, same for labor to preserve diversity. No favoritism.
We should also try to get our bill added to DREAM, as an alternate The army would like it, as DREAM provides a path for illegals to join them to get legal status.
DREAM is an attempt to get illegal college students legal. Their situation has minor similarity to us, but most EBs have many years more training, experience.

Hey,
This is a good idea. Cubans get the GC the day they land on this country. They can also count the number of years they waited on GC towards citizenship. All we need is a good EB-immigrant community lobby and few senators/reps who would do our bidding.

This thread is already making everyone nervous. The updates in immigration-law and also from many other attorneys might be based on the updates they get from AILA email alerts/updates. There is also a link in aila.org with title “Update on Rejection of June “Other Worker” Adjustment Applications and What This Means for July” I do not have access to review the entire article. Also EW category PD is at OCT 2001 for June and not sure if there were so many cases with that early PD and those petition was not accepted due to unavailability of the visa numbers. But this incident is reported in multiple sites and this made everyone nervous that the same might happen with all the EB applications now.
Also not that all applications will be filed on first day/week of July, even though most of us get the papers to attorney’s by now, I think they will file only a limited number of applications everyday. Some big law firms have already instructed the clients to not to send the documents until specifically requested by the attorney assigned for the individual cases and the email states around mid July time frame to process the application.
There might be a fair chance the available visa numbers are consumed in early July or within July , Since making the VB Dates current for all categories makes me believe they would most likely accept the petitions for entire July in spite of the visa number availability until July end at least. Making VB all dates current for all categories in spite knowing the Backlog elimination center cleared a large number of LCA and with the number of PERM approvals available, and retrogression since couple of years, USCIS/ DOS / etc. will not be surprised with the number of petitions they will receive. So at least for July we can hope to be safe. We cannot change anything with regards to this and have to deal with this.

I agree with you that we are divided in to 'n' number of groups and this is the major weakness of EB Community.
I do not feel it is correct when some one from EB2 says EB2 person is > EB3 and hence eligibile for quicker visa. The person who sits next to me got GC in July 2007. His PD was 2001 May and EB3. But he was doing the same role that I am doing. He changed his job using AC21 but could not do anything to change his EB categort at that time. Luckily he got GC otherwise he would have been in the first group that you have mentioned and suffering for years and years.
For many people GC is under EB3 due to various reason like employer and lawyer screwup. I can understand the frustration of people waiting since 2001. Same time everyone wants to get faster. So EB2 hates EB1 and EB3 hates EB2 and thats how life goes. We need to hate and love some to keep life interesting. :)
Its a classical case of too many people and very few visa#. Every one has a valid point
1) One group says I have oldest PD I am waiting since 8 years so I need to get GC
2) Second says I have a better category (EB1 & EB2) so I need to be given preference
3) Third group says I was qualified for EB2 but company & lawyer pushed me to EB3
4) Fourth group Say I have MS PhD from US so preference is mine
Actually all 4 have valid justification but the # are so few that you pick one point and you hurt other groups. So conclusion is Admin fix will only help one interest group but it is possible. Immi reform will help everyone but is difficult/ impossible

Coming to point, in my previous blog �Peace of mind � Do you have?� the whole purpose of writing that story detailing every minute & every hour is I want people to come out of comfort zone & see the reality. There are lot of people who live in comfort zone & when I say comfort zone all they care is they have a job, paying bills on time, enjoying weekends with family, vacation etc. I want them to come out of this comfort zone & see the reality out there & that is the reason I tried my best to put out my story in detail so I want people to imagine in my shoes for 1 min & think of what they would be doing if they have to face this situation tomorrow so they can better prioritize & plan accordingly. I have written this �Peace of mind topic� keeping in mind for both who bought houses & also those who did not buy house because not having a house will not put anyone in comfortable position when a job is lost.
I was under assumption after I finished & posted my article that people will take my experience & take a quick look at their priorities & be prepared but instead I have seen some comments like �bullshitting, Bollywood Melodrama, Cribbing, loan defaulter�s, fools, pretent to be shell shocked, overly optimistic etc but I failed to understand that how these comments are going help others ( I know your intentions were good ) instead my whole point of writing has become useless because some wants to target only the original poster & neglecting the actual content. To clarify few things let me explain on some serious concerns raised by others on why I bought a house in first place & as I said in this article this belongs to people who bought houses by mid 2008 & before. My simple answer would be �good quality of life� & I know that this wont suffice you & it might lead to another negative debate. So let me explain in detail.
I have been in this country Since 2000 & I have seen & survived previous recession so I know what it�s like. I was also present in NY city when 9/11 happened & I have to go through what every asian looking went through those tough period & believe me it was not easy. I also survived NY Blackout spending the whole night at port autority. The reason I am saying all this I am not a new comer to this country & I have seen both good times & worst so I know deep inside that whatever decisions I take I am not just taking for sake of it & neither did I buy house as soon as I came so I can gain equity. Now after all this 8 years & moving two Jobs & shifted to California in 2005 on a full time job my priority date is still now 2007 EB3 after so many years. When I shifted to California in 2005 on fulltime job I would have bought a house but I didn�t because of several reasons like many of you 1) i was not able to afford 2) My wife moved to H4(worked on H1 in NY) at that time. It is only after my wife got EAD in july fiasco & after she got a Job we started looking for house in beginning of 2008. My H1 was approved & stamped on January 2008 & I know for sure that I will be in this country for next years & we also have a EAD . Now that we have Dual Income & market has come down slow low & no one can predict when it will reach bottom we started looking for bargain foreclosures houses.
The only reason we want to buy a affordable house is to give a good quality of Life, stability & good neighbourhood for my daughter ( actually born in September ). So here you have two options either you choose to be in rented place & pay almost same amount in good neighborhoods for what you pay in mortage or you start looking for a house for affordable house & mortgage in good neighbourhood. I chose the later as the only downside is I have to pay that 10-15% downpayment & I was willing to take the risk as I knew I am here for sometime. Now for the current 30 yr fixed mortage payment is only 300$ more than what I used to pay for rent. Little did anyone know during early January that major financial companies will file for bankruptcy. It is only in late 2008 when Lehman failed & the actual crash started to happen & market collapsed which lead into recession.
So imagine even if I did not buy a house & had that down payment with me, the fact that loosing a job will not put me into comfortable position even if I had a GC. The least it would help is pay bills for few months without a job & I am sure all those people who did not buy houses didn�t plan to live on their savings until market gets back. I also mentioned in previous article �is it easy to leave everything behind? Yes if you want & No if you want to fight� & I said No, I want to fight. I mentioned that I did have some reserves & I have many backup plans even incase of worst scenario. I was merely pointing out that it was one of my worry but I did not mention anywhere that I am bankrupt. Also since my wife was on EAD now we were confident that atleast one of us will find Job sooner than later
So the notion that people who bought houses without a GC are dumb, fools, morons & all other filthy language against these people should change. As every individual is different & everyone has their own priorities & life style they chose to Live. Also people who came here ( highly skilled ) know what they are doing & some take calculate risks & some chose to lead simple life. No one should dictate others life on how they should live their life. Again I read somewhere interesting that there is very thin line between stupidity & guts & ultimately it is the person who take decisions will have to face the consequences (good or bad). So guys� buying a house is not choosing happiness for material things, at least not for me. You need not associate all the people who bought a house are trying to live American dream at whatever cost.
So guys/gals I sincerely believe that you did nothing wrong & should not be ashamed if you have bought a house because that is the quality of life you chose to live. The worst anything could happen is you will sell all this & go back to your country but not empty handed. You will go back with your assets ( lovely wife, children & skills you gained ) & these assets will help you shine wherever you are. You can also proudly tell your children & grand children that you never had to live pathetic life in America & you have always lived American dream in America.
I will end this by telling a very short story.
Back in 2002 one of my colleagues daughter who was 10 yrs at that time immigrated to USA. After living for few days one day she asked her mother �Mama have we become poor� The reason the girl was asking was back in home country in their village they used to live in big bungalow with 4 bedrooms, big backyard, two cars, so many friends, maids etc� but when she came here she was living in Single bedroom, No backyard, No Car at that time & no friends sadly. The answer to her daughter question can be given in two ways, 1) no baby we are richer than before as we now have more bank balance or 2) give her a good quality life style which you can afford & that means nice community, friends, decent house etc what ever makes you & your family happy. ( it is also possible in rented community ) but again that�s what I meant by choosing their own lifestyle.
Finally I did not buy a house because of material benefit, ego, equity etc. Home Owners should be ashamed if they don�t have proper justification on why they bought the house in first place & I know deep in my heart that I did nothing wrong & I am still & always be happy as long as I am in my own house.
Thank You ��. Slumdog

So guys� buying a house is not choosing happiness for material things, at least not for me. You need not associate all the people who bought a house are trying to live American dream at whatever cost.
So guys/gals I sincerely believe that you did nothing wrong & should not be ashamed if you have bought a house because that is the quality of life you chose to live. The worst anything could happen is you will sell all this & go back to your country but not empty handed. You will go back with your assets ( lovely wife, children & skills you gained ) & these assets will help you shine wherever you are. You can also proudly tell your children & grand children that you never had to live pathetic life in America & you have always lived American dream in America.
I will end this by telling a very short story.
Back in 2002 one of my colleagues daughter who was 10 yrs at that time immigrated to USA. After living for few days one day she asked her mother �Mama have we become poor� The reason the girl was asking was back in home country in their village they used to live in big bungalow with 4 bedrooms, big backyard, two cars, so many friends, maids etc� but when she came here she was living in Single bedroom, No backyard, No Car at that time & no friends sadly. The answer to her daughter question can be given in two ways, 1) no baby we are richer than before as we now have more bank balance or 2) give her a good quality life style which you can afford & that means nice community, friends, decent house etc what ever makes you & your family happy. ( it is also possible in rented community ) but again that�s what I meant by choosing their own lifestyle.
Finally I did not buy a house because of material benefit, ego, equity etc. Home Owners should be ashamed if they don�t have proper justification on why they bought the house in first place & I know deep in my heart that I did nothing wrong & I am still & always be happy as long as I am in my own house.
Thank You ��. Slumdog

Everywhere I am seeing few EB-3 india folks showing concern about the grim outlook for EB-3 india due to retrogression, noone else care about this.
It looks like many EB-3 RoW folks are relying on the VISA spillover to them and becoming "c" very soon....I dont see any reactions at all from those members either on or IV forums.
Writing to US senators and Congress Reps is the way to get some relief for EB-3 india. Each one of us should write our own story and present this USCIS pending inventory to them and educate them on how long it will take for us to receive LPR status without any releif from US congress.
VISA recapture will be easier to pass in US congress and IV should start campaign for VISA recapture. IV will receive lots of funding if they initiate this campaign as many EB-3 india folks are willing to donate for this cause.

Shyam: Thank you for your hospitality. You have made me & manish feel at home. Those dosa's were tasty and we also had nice conversation about general issues in the kitchen.

My wife attended the rally yesterday and this is what she wrote her friends who didn't come to the rally!
Yesterday, Shyam, Isha and I spent all day in DC as part of immigrationvoice, a grassroots non-profit organization that acts as an interface between highly skilled immigrants and the legislative and executive branches of the government. It was a wonderful experience. Over thousand people met at the foot of the Washington monument, and walked all the way to the US capitol. The organization had made good arrangements. Its amazing how people from all over the country were there and very few local people. One South African couple had driven on Monday from Indiana and came to the rally to celebrate the husband's birthday!! He wanted to be a part of this rally as a present for his birthday. We had 2 people - Manish and Sri, from New Hampshire staying with us on Monday who came just for the rally. There were some british, some chinese along with we Desis.
The need for the rally brought to light the real issues -
Most of us may have applied for our I-485 Step 3 in the greencard process, in July 2007, but that doesn't mean we will get our green cards soon. The govt accepts only 140000 applications a year and only 9000 are allocated to Indians in all categories.
Lawmakers and congress are confused when they think of immigrants - they club legal and illegal together. Even the Seattle senator who addressed the gathering yesterday made the same mistake. He said its good that you guys are out here so the congress can see its not only the janitors and others who have immigration issues but also highly skilled immigrants! No mention of legal. He used his time to promote the democratic party and we tried to remind him we don't have voting rights even though we pay the same taxes and work like everyone else!
We have to do something to be heard and heard right!
Thats the beauty of this country you can reach out to people in the highest positions and get heard. When the voice is collective its even more powerful. Shyam along with many others met with many congressmen and senators over the span on 2 days to explain our plight to them. One congresswoman mentioned that when a bill comes to vote in congress she polls the number of phone calls and emails she gets from her constituency and submits her votes accordingly. I was surprised to see how much actually our voice means.
We don't realize the power we possess since we are sitting in our own life bubbles of work, home, stress, kids and everything that most often swallows our individuality and ability to think. We need to step up think for ourselves and and help ourselves and everyone else in the process.
Like Sheela murthy, one of the leading immigration lawyers, said that yesterday's rally and the forum immigrationvoice.org (https://mail.medimmune.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://immigrationvoice.org/) may not make an immediate impact. But we are truly paving the way for the future of legal immigrants to the US.
The forum is the only organized and collective way to get out our frustration against the system! So many people don't understand the hardships and seriousness of the greencard issues. Especially the people who got their greencards pre 2001 era! If you are interested in finding out more about the forum and the need for high level lobbying please visit immigrationvoice.org (https://mail.medimmune.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://immigrationvoice.org/). If you were ever stuck in the green card rut or you or you have family who are applying, please spread the word and join the fight!

Please also recommend stocks for tomorrow...
Thanks
Well I do not think it is appropriate to give advise and if it fails then there is bad blood . Let us work towards
Recognize patterns
watch business news and how it affects the stocks you like
make a portfolio of stocks you like to watch (can be easily done on gogle finance) I will help if needed.
Watch the volume of stocks being traded at certain times in the day and how that affected the stock price (Can be done after 5.00 Each night )
It is not hard work it is intelligent work , Maybe overwhelming at first but once it clicks it stays
You should always have a PLAN
I will post a few questions that each of us need to answer individually to develop a plan you want to use to achieve success .
Not all material I post will be mine , I will post lessons /Tips that are beneficial to this forum.
