Few months back, 2 DMV officers gave me a tough time in CT. I wrote strong complaint and got a reply that, it will be allright if I go again and I went for the 3rd time and got it without hasstles.
Here is what happened
Dear Mr. Vemula,
This reply is in response to your email of 5/20/06 in which you

the difficult time you have had in obtaining a CT license. Please be

It shows that the interpretation of law is not same everywhere.
some people get it easily and some dont. Bridgeport, CT DMV is very crowded most of the time and tough to get things done. There are a lot of people of a kind that come there and it is tough. you must try Westport etc kind of areas next time.

Lets not hope for results just act. If Gandhi could drive Britishers out of India using this approach, USCIS is also made of human people and sure they will do something to lessen our pains.
I seriously hope that the Director of the USCIS understands our "Gandhigiiri".
We dont want the Americans thinking, "hey lets keep screwing these immigrants and getting stuff like free flowers and free blood from them"

Keep up the good work!!!
Quite frankly, I did not want to reply to your post, but your repitition above forces me to!
1) You have NO idea what it was like to find a lobbyist ready to work with us given a) We are dealing with a very sensitive issue b) We had only 10K in cash (5K raised by core members) and another 10K promised again by the core team. Do a real exercise and get a lobbyist to sign a contract with you for after revealing to them that you have only 20K. Try it now with even 50K and see how many lobbyists are ready to tow your line
2) Regarding your talk of Erin Brockovich and all, you do not even seem to grasp the fact that AILA is interested in the 11 million undocument workers. 500,000 skilled workers are nothing but a drop in the ocean compared to them.
In any case, have you done your part in contacting AILA? We have! Its easy to sit on the fence and complain but it takes conviction to actually DO something
3) Do you have any idea how difficult the task is to get amendments in? Do you know how much a fine balance the Republicans and Democrats achieved and are not ready to take on anything that might disturb the balance? Also do not forget that 500K people is not even 1% of the US population but 11 Million illegal immigrants make a sizeable chunk and alsong with Hispanics make more than 13% of the population. Now given this, who would you as a politician try to appease? 13% of the population or 0.1% of it?
4) And what made you think that faxing celebrities is an idea of the core team or QGA? Please read the posts again. It was an idea by a member!

Does any of you trade in Indian shares? If so, did you have to open the PIS NRE account to do trading in Indian shares ? I heard that NRI from USA can not use the normal demat account to do the trading in secondary market in India.

My wife has a H1 since oct 2006 till date she hasn't worked and hence has no pay stubs. her passport has a F2 visa. I want to convert her visa to H4. Her employer is asking for 6k to generate 3 paystubs for 3 months. I dont want to pay so much. if we go to canada to get H4 stamping will they ask for her pay stubs or just my pay stubs are enough.
Is there any chance of rejection. also can I go to canada for stamping or do i have to go to home country.
is there any site or posting that explains the process of applying for H4 in canada.
Thanks for any help

Absolutely wrong. Lot of misinformation here. You can very well apply for OCI for your child even if both of you are Indian citizens and the 4 steps mentioned above are just wrong. I would prefer OCI over PIO as mentioned in the other reply too, on PIO your child will have to register with the police station evry six months if stay is longer. OCI is valid forever while PIO is valid for 10 (or 5) years and OCI means you have all the rights but can't fight elections and vote.
In 2005 my first kid got an OCI as the rules were diiferent then but in 2009 the current rule is that one parent MUST be a US citizen and I had to take a PIO for my second kid in 2009.
Following is from the FAQ`s of Indian consulate at SFO
6. Are minor children whose both parents are Indian citizens eligible for OCI?
No.

Nothing significant is expected from this speech. Most politicians repeat the same 3 things- Secure our borders, provide path to citizenship to millions and welcome best and the brightest. The real question is when they will do the real work on immigration. There have been some discussions on administrative fixes on immigration. However some of these fixes would politically harm democrats in the upcoming elections.
Only when the democratic party weakens things can move forward for the skilled (EB- GC ) folks. Democratic party is never for skilled immigratiion, it is all for illegal masses only.

EB3 + 5 years experience/MS = EB2
In todays schedules to come to I485 filing stage takes min 1-2 years. Let us assume 2 years. (personally it took 5 years)
So lets say 2 people (EB2 & EB3) apply for GC in year X. After X+2 they are eligible to apply for I485.
Let us say EB2 is current then EB3 should be current - 3 years. Otherwise the EB3 will have the motivation to refile in EB2 and clog the system further.
If EB2's PD is (current - 3 years), EB3 should be not more than 2 years behind (The time it takes to get to I485 stage).
I doubt people at USCIS have the time, interest or the inclination to understand this bit of simple math - As a result you will have people with multiple applications trying to to beat the broken system.

can you post the address that you sent to ? I am planning to do the same too. I will attach an email from the travel agent for loss of money if i cancel my tickets.
I used the address on the I131 filing instructions document, the address depends on which coast of US you belong to...google "I131 filing instructions", you will get it

If you really look at who is paying less and misusing the H1-B and L1 to manipulate the job market, its the big offshore companies who bring the less experienced folks from India/China and other asian countries into US. These biggies pay way too less (52 to 57K) to these folks than what the conultants who work for local consulting companies make.
They apply for 1000's of H1B's and L1's showing the positions in US but 60% of the folks works back in their offshore centers in China or India with H1B/L1 stamped on their passport. Question is, if they applied for H1B / L1 based on an existing position in US and gets approved, why is that folks are still working in India or China center? Doesn't that mean they faked the position?
When we consolidated the vendors and excluded all the local consulting companies to include only two of the big offshore companies, we have seen their consultants brought onsite leaving them after few months at our group to join local consulting companies for better pay.
To me, they manipulate the job market displace americans much more than the local consulting companies.
I truely hope CIS look deep into these manipulations and frauds as well.
I think the unlimited number of L1's has been a 'bane' for the employment market here as they 'definitely' replace the American jobs.Again this might fit in to the company's strategy and I m no one to complain about it. I am sure most of the other consultants on H1B in this country do make decent enough ( > 75k ) to qualify for the wage bracket that is being applied as a statistic here. The fact is though is that the employers do advertise lower salaries for the positions there by creating requirement though they might be actually paying the employees more than the advertised salary.

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!

Guys!!!
No point in showing frustration. Its not our birth right. We all were well educated before we came in here. Situation changes. And system makes an adjustment. Dont blame your country( I am also from India), for no one asked us to move out. There are so many nice positions available to work for. More than 80% of us found here a better oppurtunity, because there were no competition at all in getting jobs. 1st come 1st serve.
So do not complain. They do not have any urgency to hand us over the GCs. We can only request them to do the needful on the basis of our sorry state of affairs. Again, we are still at their mecrcy.
So stop complaining. Either wait and support IV or boot out.
Very well said..I have many desi ppl at my work place who gag about H1b slavery blah-blah..Not giving GC early..
People need to understand. (Offcourse its frustrating to wait for..but no one forced us to stay here..or come here)

Albeit silly.... I was thinking, Ok... at least now folks here will realize that not in IT but Indians are talented/can shine is many fields and that's the way it is. The reality being there are more talented people in that country who never got chance global recognition (until the ice was broken by the IT industry)... More talented people --> Hence more immigrant (not a rocket science).
"So why the disparity where for some folks wait for a decade to get the GC and other not, and the it's just b'cos they are nationals from a country from which more people immigrate to explore global arenas! (not a inherent fault of their own):D"

My interpretation: the vote was not on Cornyn's amendment; in response to a Point of Order raised, there was a motion to waive the Budget Act for Cornyn's amendment (the Budget Act requires 60 "Yes" votes to bring to the floor amendments to appropriation bills); if 60 senators had voted "Yes" (and agreed to waive the Budget Act requirement for Cornyn's amendment), then a vote on the actual amendment would only have required a simple majority. But because only 55 voted "Yes", the amendment failed to obtain the waiver; it was out of order because it did not qualify as an amendment to this bill.
Because 40 Dems voted no on the waiver does not mean they are opposed to the amendment; they just did not want to vote on this amendment on this bill.
