Ya, expect others to show maturity while you continue to be a child.

If I could hire IV by paying some money and then forget about it, i would do that. However, as far as I know, IV core is composed of regular folks who are also on visas and therefore can only work during their spare time/vaccation time. I know every one of us is impatient with this EB process, but the reality is our movment is not big/strong enough. Most of us once we get hold of the Green card (is it really green color??) completely forget that we were once part of an everlasting que with so many desperate people.
This is the main difference between EB community and the ilegals. Ilegals are united by a lot of factors and even their legal relatives dont think twice before struggling/fighting for them. How many of our dear Indian/chinese friends (who are citizens of this nation) will stand up for us??? Even though many came here and strugled to obtain the EB green card, now we are alien to them!!!
Consider the ilegal people:-
theoratically, they are not supposed to have any voice in this nation simply because they are ilegals and hiding from the law. How come then that they are able to have such a huge protest march?? because most of the people who protested for them and stand up for them are legals
We will be 100 times more successful if the major indian associations/chinese associations or other country associations raise the voice for us. They should "BECOME HUMAN BEINGS ONCE AGAIN" and feel for us. We should remind them once again of the strange and long path many of them went through to get the GC.
HOW COME THEY IGNORE US???? IF THEY IGNORE US, WHO WILL CONSIDER US???
IV??? my friends IV core member is a person of leadership quality for sure, but he/she is just in the same unstable boat as me and you.
WE DESPERATELY NEED FOLKS IN THE MAIN LAND TO REACH OUT TO US.
you have answered your own question.......the way the demographics are today - there are many families which are part legal and part illegal in terms of their immigration status - the motivation there is to bring close relatives (and even immediate family members) over to the legal side.......
in case of EB - typically (barring some technical exceptions) the immediate family gets the GC at the same time - so the immediate family situation is not critical. If these people want to bring in their families - then thats FB immigration and not EB.
Besides, FB immigration and to a large extent "illegal to legal" (whenever that happens) is a template driven process (if you meeting certain basic guidelines and do not have any criminal background etc - you are in - it is not upto the discretion of an immigration officer to reject a citizen's wife or father or mother on a case by case basis) - whereas EB is a fairly case by case evaluation process........hence its simpler to coin a message that resonates with the vast majority of the interested population on the non-EB side vs on the EB side (whats good for Indians may not be good for RoW and whats good for EB2 may not be good for EB3, direct employees vs consultants, 3 year degrees vs 4 year degrees, foreign degrees vs US degreess, STEM vs non STEM etc)........
You tend to think like a group and root for the group when you suffer as a group........as much as many people on this forum would like to highlight otherwise - i think every EB story is different, every situation is different, even the extent of suffering and inconvenience is different and hence there is no "group feeling" - we are not a "herd" and hence do not act like an "herd".......
To be brutally honest, I have had my GC for two years now, have not really had to wait for a long time either nor is the IV agenda really relevant for me (IV does not really focus on EB1) - i continue to visit the site to keep myself updated because I am concerned (as a well wisher not as an activist) and would like my friends to get their GCs asap! But, among the 100 other "human being like activies" that keep me busy (keeping my job, paying my bills, cleaning the house on weekends, not gaining any more weight with middle age approaching etc.) - do i have time to actually do something (beyond the faxes etc that we sometimes send to senators) - NOT REALLY.
If you poll most people with GCs and new Citizens who came through the EB route - i have a feeling that a large number would give the above answer in their truthful moments.

As I mentioned in my post, I had a resident Indian A/C - account that was opened when I was legally a resident Indian (salary a/c incidentally). No way it can be confused with one of N/RE/O accounts. I had INR in my account. It was wired over to my account here in the US, I got $s. Simple. If you look through the link that I posted, ICICI's instructions are quite clear - you can say family maintenance as a good reason.
As a couple of people commented in subsequent posts, it is straightforward to send money, INR to $.
I read somewhere that according to RBI rules an NRI is not supposed to maintain any regular account in INDIA. One can only ve NRO/NRE accounts.
You said yu got the money from the old account. Do you think it was all according to RBI regulations

PD - Sep 2002
Labour Certification approved - May 2005
I-140 - Not filed yet
I am about to file I-140 (PP) and I-485 concurrently beginning of June.
But looks like the the May 21st cut-off screws it up completely.
I have heard someone say that I might escape the new law if I get a Green Card before the law is enenforced on (10/1/2008). Does this assumption even hold any ground? Doesn't the proposed bill say that anyone who has filed I-140 after May 21st 2007 has to reapply regardless of where he is in the process.
Gurus please advice.
Your are good , do not worry.. file I-485 and take advantage of that.
You have waited a very very long time.

btw, how this is relevant on this forum..... becoz this is not a news forum..... here is the answer......
6 out of 13 finalist on this prestigious competition are all kids of (high skilled) immigrants from india, who came here on h1 or similar visas and are now on gc or their parents are still waiting for gc......
this is very important to show the value and positive influence high skilled immigrants bring in to the society they live in..... this is a positive externality of high skilled immigrants like us..... & adds one point in our camp...... simple eb3/eb2 tracking won't cut it if that is all u understand from immigration forum....

Dude .... before you start bashing Dems ... they did NOT vote against the amendment.... they voted against the Budget Act waiver, Thanks best_mode for your clarification ... it makes sense ..
Just wait.
Once I become the citizen I will work on defeating these Senators that voted against SKIL.
If you met any of these senators and at that time they showed hollow symapthy to you, it is time to go and meet them and hold their feet to the fire. Tell them how they lied to you and how you are disappointed.

The AP is truly an amazing conundrum. I will try to clarify.
1. When AP is filed, you need to be in the US. No if's and but's about that.
2. If AP is used at the border for entry, it DOES NOT invalidate your H1. Only using EAD to switch jobs does that.
3. Lets assume you have an AP valid till Jan 1. You apply for new AP on Oct 1. However, you need to travel on Dec 25. Now there are two scenarios:
3a) you return on Dec 30 - you can use your old AP as it is still valid. The fact that you have applied for a new AP and left the country DOES NOT abandon your new AP because your old AP is still valid.
3b) You return on Jan 3 - You need to have the new AP in hand.
If there are any more questions on AP, please feel free to PM me :)
Thanks
Does that mean that wife can travel after applying for the new AP and then i will post her the renewed AP, which she can use to reenter say after the expiry date of the old one so in this case 3rd Jan ? Cause i had asked this question on this forum and i was informed that when she is travelling to India she must get the new AP approved, i cannot send it to her via mail

our immigration department told me that as per USCIS regulation they can not apply earlier than 6 month of expiry date
Strange...
Apply on the date your 6 months are left. Use the couple of months before that to follow up with your employer and Lawyer and get all paperwork done and application packet ready. If lawyer or the employer is slow, then one needs to push them since ultimately you are going to be affected and nobody else.
The onus is on the H1B worker to be diligent and not leave everything to the last few months. DMV is only following the rules. Maybe some of them are not aware of the rules. The issue of not getting license despite H1B approvals, and H4s not getting DL is something one can take up as an issue with media and authorities. But just because the person did not bother to get the H1B extended until the last moment cannot be an excuse for relief when we approach the authorities.

Thats just too much bull for one day. Just when I thought that it was enough for 2008, you drop this bomb called "God's protection over this land" and made me read those illogical ideas. So this is what I have to say -
Can you prove the existance of God? Who is God? Where does he/she live?
You see, down the ages mankind have been told to think in a manner such that - anything that we cannot logically explain, we just come up with the rationale that "God did it". So for the things we can explain, we looks towards that knowledge, but for the things we cannot explain, we still try to explain to ourselves & others by saying - "God did this". And this is how the author is processing information, and this is everyone reading it will understand.
And this behavior is not a fault of anybody alive. We have inhereted these genes through thousands and millions of years. And those genes in us are designed to make us "blame or credit God" (whichever way you look at it) for everything we cannot explain. Now there will be some who will tell me that I am WRONG for saying "thousdand and millions of years" by arguing that Adam and Eve came just 2000 years back and earth was created in 6 days, and human beings were created some 2000 years old.
Human mind is extremely inferior. and for own inner sense of inferioirty, we want to tell everybody and our own ego that we know the reason for everything. And for the things we cannot explain, we explain such events to ourselves by using the argument "God is the reason behind those events". We cannot just accept "I don't know how/why it happened". Humans have to explain everything and a lot many times in a day, we explain events by telling ourselves - God did it.
One more thing, often times, unknowingly, we give more weightage to the writings from people who passed away as compared to the writings by folks who are still around. I think we should question everything told to us, everything feed to our brain - and we have that moral responsibility towards ourselves to question specially the things which are thrown at us with the message - "just accept it without qustioning", because religion and different version of the description of God cannot be questioned. It must be accepted the way it is.
I think that the greatness of America and its history is not because of the "Religion" or "God", but inspite of it. The fact that "Religion" or "God" is kept out of the Government is the only reason for the progress you see around. For millions of years religion was the center peice of every government, and so our ansestors lived in backwardness. Almost 99% of all inventions have been made in US, where State is "independent" of the "religion", although there are lot of nuts out there who wants to change this. As per the "religious folks" God will never protect a nation that intereferes with the work of religion, right? So why would "God" protect this land?
Anyways, I want to write for another 200 pages, but, I got to do this job and earn for my family, otherwise "God" will be angry with me.

How can you judge God's intentions when you don't know Him? Can you prove that God does not exist?

Nixtor, If you are Indian it seems to me you have not visited India for long time now. India�s IT story started as back office. But now that�s not true any more. The Kind of projects the big IT firms like Infosys, Wipro & Satyam are doing and no sub standard than the projects U.S. big I.T. firms are doing. But I do agree with you 100% it is a far dream that India can ever be at the top of the world. It is my personal opinion too. I think the current surge is temporary which was mainly brought in by a government which ruled India between 1999 & 2004. What we are seeing now is momentum of the good things they did. The current government which is highly inefficient & corrupt is going to give way to more corrupt & more inefficient government and everything is gonna fall like a deck of cards.

I beg to differ.. My PA DL is based on my Work Visa, hence it expires on the day my visa expires.. I tried to renew online and the system said since you are not a citizen u have to go to the DL Center for a renewal... Maybe your DL is from the time you were student or otherwise...
The best thing about PA is through online.
Visit the below link
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/driverLicensePhotoIDCenter/renewNonCommercials.shtml
and click on renew online. Here you have to enter your details and pay through credit card. You will receive the confirmation letter (DL60A/DL60R) through regular mail with in 10 days. Take the letter and go to the DMV for photograph.
The photograph folks don't ask any immigration documents, just the SSN original card. That's it.

On a serious note though, flight ticket is a small price to pay compared to the other losses that we are suffering because of status quo.
