The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!
Yeah much of what you said is true, however when you keep harping on the words "equal" and "evenly" You are wrong. Evenly or equally implies each applicant has an equal shot at getting through in a certain period of time. That's my only beef with what you are saying.
Once again however, let me state to you that the intent of US EB immigration law is not to be fair to you or me, it is to do what is best for the employer's skilled labor shortage.(Except in a few self petition cases recognized as in the national interest.)

Logiclife's post may be a little strong in words. But it wasn't done with any ill-will toward anyone. Please remember it was borne out of frustrations borne out of some volunteers playing hokey at important IV events after RSVPing to attend and volunteer.
Naturally the organizer felt frustrated at the unexpectedly low-level participation at a very important event, for which significant personal sacrifice was done.
A word of advice to everyone - Do NOT volunteer to anything unless you are 100% sure you'll be doing it. Don't volunteer 'spur of the moment' to backtrack later. It's a rude and unprofessional conduct. We are all highly-skilled professionals here, right?
Take your time ( I mean weeks, a month or two, not 10-12 months of years !), become convinced about the IV cause. If you believe in it volunteer with full heart and conviction. And once you do, keep your words and promises. Don't make empty promises that aren't kept. It creates a very bad impression about you as a person. Not everyone will publish it here, but you'll be marked off as 'all talk, no action' from that point onwards.
If you expect others to respect you, please respect others first. Be professional and considerate in your conduct. If you cannot volunteer it's fine. Please don't make others lose their interest. For if they do and abandon the cause, you'll be a loser too !

Dear all,
Please assist IV in this important initiative to bring DC's attention to our issues such as processing delays and delays due to retrogression. Who knows what will happen in future about immigration.. I just read that the senate is planning to come up with a commission that will control the legal immigrant limits...
washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/23/AR2010052304034.html)
It is all the more important to meet and let the senators know what we are going through so that they may think properly for the future.
I have already contributed a humble $50 for this advocacy initiative and will contribute again in first week of June. Please do your part in helping IV and in turn, yourselves.
Regards,
av2004

franklin,
hermione has been very active in helping with battling immigration backlogs in general despite her "oh so close to green card status". she was responsible for one of our better pre rally videos as well. guess we can put it down to not tolerating the whole mess :-)
you can also find her on greg siskind's blog.
hermione: sorry for not replying, been terribly busy these last few days!
we should talk sometime though...

We need to do something for sure. I know that most of EB3 folks are stuck for GC more than 7-8 years. I don't see any good progress for EB3 in the future.
I would request from everyone to wake up and take a proactive step. I am ready to give any kind of support.
The problem is most of the EB3 people are happy with their EAD's. and I guess since EB2 looks promising now - they wont care much about EB3 or retro ..so I dont think anybody is going to wake up. maybe we should go to sleep too :)

I have flown only once via AF from Detroit to Blore via paris. Eventhough at Paris I did not have any problem, the flight exp was horrible. The food portions were really small and they did not give any extras. I literally starved till I reached Blr. On my way back, I carried food from home for the flight. I have never traveled on AF since. I think we need to take a pledge not to travel on AF ever. Lufthansa is no better. The Frankfurt terminal for flights to Asian countries is despicable, but on the way back they have fancy lounges.
I am waiting for more flights from Jet and Kingfisher which would make travel more enjoyable.
Air India is variable service sometimes really good and sometimes really bad. But the food is always good.

I do not recommend Attorney Richard Prinz , Houston.
In my experience he is terribly slow, do not communicate with clients , do not pay attention to details.
His incompetence , has caused a colleague to miss the opportunity to file I485 before the retrogression kicked in july 2004 (?) and poor guy had to wait 3 years until jun 2007 to file his I485.
He hasnt filed I1485 yet ,for 2 cases from our firm, with PD current in June 07 , though the docs were provided with all the forms filled by mid june.
Once he collects the money he does not entertain any communications and says "your if u send me email or call about the case it will be further delayed".
His lack of attention caused me a denial on my I140.
I did not know abt these cases before i I had to deal with delays and denial in my own case.
He has only 2 admin assistants in the office. He still uses an aol dialup connection ,so you can imagine how updated he is.
Its frustrating when u need to be at lawyers mercy to get your case filed after paying big $$.

green.tech on the same page, few posts above:
"How is he in the same boat as me? I am on a boat called IV and I don't see him on that boat. "
This was his reponse to someone who is not a donor.
Another response of his was: "If you dont like our way, take your business elsewhere. "
Why should green.tech be not banned?
and then theres sanju, whenever a talk on why people should pay, comes up, he has only one compaison to make:
"Dont you pay to your Cable company to watch Television?"
reddog, are you serious ? go back and re-read your quotes in the context of those threads. Green-tech was talking in terms of being with IV, do not extrapolate to make it donors Vs non-donors to suit your arguments.
and how is Sanju's comment make it you are with us or against ?

H1bslave,
Are uou IT manager or working in non IT field. If you are in IT and non manager then doors are closed for you to go to Canada.
If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.

My employer did not even bother When i talked about this. They are happy with just recruiting desperate and non desperate H1bs. Many of us are addicted to the US. We will not leave despite any indignity or humiliation. You have a weakness and it will be used. Way of life.
So let us continue to be indentured for many years. What never ceases to maze me is despite so much work by IV, big employers, faxes, emails the govt has done nothing. Seriously, there is a bigger issue here. See how they acted to get more nurses ? That is not happening here.I think all concerned are sure, EB guys will sit out even if it takes 10 more years. So , let us sit it out, bcos it seems like we aint got no place to go. Right ?

The intent of this thread is good. There are however practical considerations.
Many of us are from India. In the era pre opening up its economy, we had many well educated folks unable to get jobs there. The socialist strangle was such that highly educated people had no suitable jobs and private enterprise was actively discouraged. Many sought economic and professional refuge in more capitalist economies and to some extent we are still seeing the spillover from the policies of that era, with an excess supply of human skilled capital there and opportunities still not able to spread to the whole economy/population.
The reason I am saying all this is, investing in skills like masters etc is generally a good thing, but not always. In fact there are many studies to prove this point, some demonstrate that too much education is a negative predictor of economic success.
In our situation, capital is important, whereever we end up. Since in a capitalist model money works for you, and obviously if you have enough of it then you can spend your time doing other things, charity work or whatever warms your heart. Doing an MBA or any other higher education is very expensive in america. It is an investment. If you end up here, it will perhaps turn out to be a good investment, otherwise it will be of limited use to us especially in India, especially if a global recession hits.
Pessimistic you say, lets reserve judgement on that and consider all of the geo political issues going on right now.
If that is so the capital preserved by not doing an MBA in a top ten school which I estimate to be about 60-70K if I am not mistaken might be put to another use.
What do you guys think about this line of argument.

Hi All,
I am planning to apply for PIO card for my son born in last month. I would like to send the documents to CGO Houston. Can you please suggest what are the documents should I send. I see the information in their website but looks confusing regarding orginals or copies.
Thanks !
I received PIO for my son last week; here are the documents I sent.
1) 2 Photos only, Yes just 2 not 4, there are several discussions about it but 2 worked for me.
2) My passport photo copy (first and last 3 pages only )
3) My wife's passport photo copy (first and last 3 pages only )
4) My kid's US passport photo copy (first and last 3 pages only )
5) My kid's birth certificate photo copy.
6) Utility bill (electricity original)
7) $185 cashiers check
8) $20 bill
9) Application form.
All the photo copy documents were notarized including birth certificate.
Thumb impression of my son on the application form (on first and second page).
Parents singature.
And that�s pretty much it ...got the PIO in 2 weeks. I did send email to check on the application after 1 week of applying, but there was no response from the SFO office.
Hope this helps
