I think if you have long term plans in India this fall and probably more appreciation of Rupee will make US less attractive. This 5-6% fall has shaved off my appraisal in a way :)

I dont think this bills has anything favourable to legal immigrants... It better to apply as the other category ....
I think someone finally saw the light here.
Cant you guys see the HUGE change that this is. Get out of the whole legal-illegal pissing match. This change will make the US immigration system in line with that of the UK. You get here. You stay here for 5 years. You apply and be granted Permanent Residency. Thats it.
Will that open the floodgates? Sure they will. How will they be countered? By making it very very difficult for employers to hire foreigners. If you are already here, you are fine.
Employers who hire illegal folks will face tough sanctions. the new eVerify system will probably now be mandatory for all. That takes care of those employers who were in the Dont ask, Dont tell (not talking about the military policy towards gays here) attitude. It wont weed out everyone and there will still be some guys who will work for cash, etc but it will reduce this significantly.
Employers who abuse the H1 system will now have to do lots more to prove that they couldnt find a qualified US worker. The desi employers that everyone loves to hate will find it very hard to stay in business anymore.
The big IT companies like TCS and Patni who pay 40-50K to someone with 7 yrs of work exp (like I was) will now be forced to hire from the US market thus eliminating the chances of abuse. Unfortunately it will depress IT wages in India because these biggies will need to show some kind of cost savings to do work offshore otherwise most companies will decide to bring the work back since its just not worth it to handle the hassles of offshore work. But overall it will bring some kind of balance.
All a person now will need to do is get here and manage to hold on to some job for 5 years and you will be through.
Lets see how much of this bill actually makes it out. As far as I can see, I am prefectly fine with refiling my application under this new category. The hell with EB based green cards. USCIS can take the whole EB1-EB2-EB3 and stick it where it belongs.

It appears that you are cracking a joke, but I cannot stop from replying to your post. Why are you asking God to save IV? For the things we cannot do or for the things we dcon't understand, why do we always have to bring in 'God' in the picture? Can't we even crack a joke without brining in God?
I am just trying to prevent world war III on these forums. Thats why my request for not referring "God'. We will all be much more happier funnier and peaceful if we try not to bring in 'God' in the mix.
Next thing you will see, someone will post - "God, when will the VB dates move for my category".
.
Oh God, when my day will come.... :D

In its Response to the Ombudsman’s 2006 Annual Report recommendation (AR 2006 – 01), USCIS agreed in principle to provide a breakdown of all incomplete cases by the number of months pending and application type.
Given the constraints of existing legacy case management systems, USCIS would today need to perform a cumbersome, labor intensive, recurring manual audit of all pending files in order to compile the suggested data. Such audits would be cost prohibitive.
USCIS has opted not to use its limited financial resources to extract data from current systems and prefers to spend it on prospective systems that are years in the planning. For example, USCIS has not made corrections to the CLAIMS 3 system to capture data on applicants’ priority date information, country of nationality, and the preference category under which the application is filed that USCIS must review before the application is accepted for green card processing.
Failing to correct the system annually results in hundreds, if not thousands, of wasted hours by all levels of USCIS leadership in trying to account for an often asked question by Congress, the Ombudsman, stakeholders, and others: “Exactly how many employment-based green card applications does the agency have pending?” USCIS still cannot answer that question today with certainty.

This is unprecedented - NSC was doing Eb3 140's slowly and now they stopped.
NSC EB2 140 is July 5th 2007 (my friend got approval yesterday by filing in Aug 2007)
Clear your cache and then reopen browser - you should be able to see MAY 15th update.
Thanks,

Interesting highlights:
Employment based immigration : 159,081 in 2006 of which 55.1% were dependents.
Members interested in Statistics are welcome to peruse the Yearbook for the proportion of each country and then extrapolate it out to when their respective dates will be current (I am sure it will not be a pretty picture for India and China)
The report is for the period October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006. Of the 159,000 or so mentioned above, 36,960 were EB1, 21,911 were EB2 and 89,922 were EB3 (I guess this number includes the 50,000 that were recaptured and given to nurses).
Of these numbers, 32060; 20939 and 60390 were AOS.
Furthermore, of the AOS cases, 18959; 10708 and 29537 were spouses oand children in the respective categories.
AND FOR THE KICKER:
total EB persons from India in 2006 : 17169 and 9484 from China ONLY! (includes spouses and children) with the honor going to Philippines at 23733!
Enjoy and have a great holiday ;)

Why is this being discusses here??
Just a dose of how things are on the other side. This may be more obvious when more companies start outsourcing.
On the other hand, this thing may not affect non IT folks.
My 2 cents - be careful at workplaces and try to avoid discussing about our issues with co workers, 99% of them are ALIPAC, NumbersUSA, Programmer's guild etc....
They are the ones working against you

Shoplifting!!!!:eek: ... what the heck were u thinking? oh boy what a disgrace.
Alright, enough of beating you down. Now if your crime was adjudged civil infraction, I won't worry too much about it. Civil infractions are leinennt, but you are now all set for rest of your life to be in public records. Future employers and creditors would see that too when they do background checks. Other than that you got nothing to worry about. Go ahead and continue to plan for your India visit. But may I advise not to indulge into that habit of shoplifting? ... uhmm I know gifts can be very expensive.:cool:

It is time for the high skilled immigrants here to take offense with what NUSA puts out ... here is a message that was sent to them a short while ago. We can do more. The collective intelligence, tax dollars and clout of this group of HIGH SKILLED immigrants can call the bluff on Roy Beck and his bunch of fear mongers...
To Roy Beck:
Unfortunately, special interest groups such as yours fail to understand the realities of globalization, international trade and commerce. Your views are an arcane throwback to the era of narrow protectionism fueled by fear, uncertainty and doubt. The world's economies are growing at a much faster rate than the US because we have failed to keep pace with the talent race and skill race. We have forgotten the great tradition of adventurism and capitalism, and instead bask in the self-avowed glory of elitist protectionism... hoping that cute scare videos and falsified statistics will deceive people from seeing what NumberUSA is what it is really about = a quest of 'racial purity'. Lets not try to fool hardworking, law abiding economic agents into believing that you stand for a moral cause greater than the collective capitalist good of the United States. Indeed, it is shameful that you should continue to pander your archaic sentiments around 'immigration control' in a land where the ONLY natural citizens are American Indians. You demean the Irish, the Italians, the Germans, the Jews, the Indians and the Chinese by painting a broad brush against 'numeric over crowding' without caring to recognize the net economic value add of these and other ethnic groups. Maybe its time for todays youth to stop fawning over Hannah M, Britney S etc and get cracking at higher education ... and maybe, just maybe, our time is better spent on being parents that can imbibe a new 'gold rush' mentality of adventure and spirit instead of fear mongering and hoping that globalization will go away :). Because, it wont Mr Beck. Never has. Never will.

Thats I read in his forum...
IP is banned?
I am sure he has heard of IP hiding techniques. If I were banned based on my IP, and I consistently want to post dividing threads on IV, would I not use a hidemyip plugin or post thru one of the hide my IP websites?
there has to be a different reason of banning him.

PS : I work with one of best semiconductor companies in world and earn decent salary .
All GULTIs , start giving me red and i don't give a** for that.
I understand the pain of dependents. My son is also will be aging out.
Ability to work comes from EAD which would come from filing of 485. July 2007 filing was pushed mainly by IV and only then other organizations have pushed for it. I hope you are aware of this. 2 year EAD is IV's achievement.
All this happenned due to IV members and dedicated IV core. The president of this site IV is not a GULTI, but an Indian who donated about 60,000.00 US dollars. Yes, US $ 60K. He is also just like you and me. Never thought of divisions among immigrants: Neither Indian, Chinese, Philippines nor any origin. We have members from all over the world. The majority unfortunately is from India due to severe retrogression.
Had president of IV not donated 60,000.00, majority of us would still be struggling for spouse to work.
Please read IV's goals. Then you can comment whatever you want. Without funds, nothing can be moved. We have to lobby. That is the only option we have. IV core is also like you and me with normal jobs. They can not fly to DC every week or month for lobbying.
Please think before posting some thing.
I am not part of core, but have symtahies on them for doing a THANKLESS job for every one's good.

As usual you twisted my point to make it out that I dont have any "cultural values," as you define it.
I think chandu and paskal in their subsequent msgs got my point exactly that we should promote happy <festival> of all regions/traditions rather than focusing on the majority one.
That would promote IV's agenda rather than distract from it.
Its people like you with your misguided "cultural values" that are the cause of problems around the world. You are like the Indian version of ALIPAC.
BharatPremi is my "IV person of the Day" - I see a lot of energy in his posts, and yes yabadaba, everyone must loosen up a bit, and look at the positive in every message.
BharatPremi's response was also appropriate and was a stronger version of our responses :)

When we conducted D.C. rally, there were roughly 1500 people attended. Each member has his/her own reason for not attending the rally.
The reasons could be, taking a day off from work or to far from their place etc..,
As a first step��..:)
Why don�t we plan for rally on the same day, same time at various major cities? This would enable members to attend in their respective cities.
We knew that, we are 25K+ members strong and can hold rallies/protests, where we have (major cities) at least 100+ members.
We must invite media and local US leader�s for rally and show our strength and request them to work towards the Green Cards.
Why don�t we plan for a rally during the this Christmas season?
