Because of the retrogression, I am investing all my money in India rather than in America where the growth is higher and more certainity for me atleast for time being...
I think retrogression is a loose-loose situation for US. Hope US politicians realize that before its too late for them.

Hi All,
I applied for my daughter's PIO card and sent all the documents as mentioned in the instructions sheet of the embassy website along with the self addressed stamped envelope. I heard from my other friends that even after you send everything in order, the embassy people would call and say that they did not receive the self addressed stamped envelop. It happened to three of my friends. I am the 4th one. They called today to tell that I did not send the envelope.
The funny part that happened with my friends is that, they all sent $20 and the package came in the very envelope they sent in the first place, that the embassy said they didn't receive.
Did anybody of you also had the same kind of experience or similar incident. If so, please do share.
Why are they doing like that? Do they really think we would do like that, trying to save on an self addressed envelope? It really bothered me for the fact that the lady from the consulate was utterly rude when talking. I am amazed how in the world, The Indian Government is still hiring such people? Of more then a billion population, is that the best person the government of India could find for that customer service post? Its a shame and I am ashamed that such dic*heads working and representing India?
Coming back to the issue...she said sternly, send $20.00 or send envelope stamped otherwise the application would not be processed.
Folks, please let me know where I can complain about this careless attitude of this monster woman. What steps can I take to make sure they don't do that again? I live in TN and I can't fly/drive to Washington DC. The questions is not about the money, but the way they are operating without any ethics is deplorable.
Hoping to hear all your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.

This year with overflows from ROW category, maybe 40K extra numbers were used for backlog reduction. Adding 10k for each china and India it makes the number 60K. Isnt 90K better than 60k (if we are lucky) under current system?

Thank you,

Dear jchan,
We are very interested in this provision. Immigration Voice has heavily invested in this measure, both, legislatively and administrative. We have consistenly advocated for this provision which we believe will curb arm twisting by bad employers, that are like few bad apples in the big basket. Such a provision will help everyone including USCIS, lawyers, genuine companies, and direct+indirect beneficiary. Its a win-win for all.

I am not sure whether it is my HR to be blamed or my corporate law firm TheChugh who has been handling my case, no one has bothered to convey my PERM status or even my case #. I feel frustrated when my HR doesn't respond about the status.
I understand that they must by flooded with application preparation but setting up a link for me to check the status shouldn't be very difficult.
I really hope that my PERM gets approved before 31st July so that I can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
Anyone else has experience to share about TheChugh law firm?
Do you work for HCL?

IV core group has done and continues to do a wonderful job. Many of us have to realise that this issue is MUCH MUCH larger than us. A nation is trying to decide what its immigration policy will be for the next generation. Furthermore this time its policy may even decide its ethnic majority in due course.
At times like this there will be a lot of opposing viewpoints and we should be grateful that our viewpoint will atleast be heard. Other than that, there is not a damn thing we can do. Ultimately only birthright will allow you to challenge for citizenship.
Many of us are frustrated for a variety of reasons but in the end pestering the IV core group is no help to them nor for our cause especially. I suggest we stop doing that and spare them the time explaining these issues to us, to doing other tasks which might be more useful.
Many of us have lost a lot in this process. I personally cannot even calculate what I have lost as a result of this waiting. However, it is a sacrifice I have to be ready to make if I truly want the priviledge of living here. Our humility and continued contribution to life in this country in the end will win over supporters.
If you notice, despite all the bad press about illegals, despite 9/11, the majority of americans are still pro legal immigrants, we are largely to credit for this, along with the pride they have in their forefathers who made the same journey.
It will take time, but whatever happens with CIR, I am quite certain that within the next 12-18 months there will be some relief for us legal immigrants waiting in the queue. It is the way it has always been.
I suspect relief for us will come with H1b visa relief, since the other truth of american politics is that lobbying is a big big deal here and corporate america runs this country de facto.

IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence.
From Lobbying and Legislation (http://www.policylink.org/AdvocatingForChange/Lobbying/Legislators.html).
Be persistent. Lobbying campaigns rarely come to a definitive end.
If your proposed legislation is defeated, there is frequently another opportunity to reintroduce it. Don�t be discouraged. Often it takes several tries to pass a measure, especially one that seeks to bring about an important change.
If you win, do not get complacent. Monitor implementation and make sure your legislation is fully funded. Look out for opposition attempts to undo or diminish your victory by trying to repeal your legislation, filing litigation to overturn it, or seeking regulations to significantly weaken its implementation

With out passing the bill any PRESIDENT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING even if he wants to help us.
CONGRESS HAS TO PASS THE BILL. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR US.
President can do ONLY VETO ON ANY BILL OR HE CAN GO TO WAR ON ANY COUNTRY. THATS ALL HE CAN DO.

I tend to agree. Anything that can give us positive publicity will work.
The flower campaign was a huge success. The holiday season is here and I was thinking about a potentially new and innovative campaign idea. Greeting cards with a recorded audio message to be sent to the Director of USCIS. The message would be unique to the individual sending it. Should include something like "Dear Sir - I wish you a happy and safe holiday season. My name is "xyz". I am a legal immigrant stuck in the green card backlog for "xyz" years. Please help us. This message is just an idea - it could be anything agreed upon by consensus.
Maybe this idea is a little corny but we have to think out of the box. Just imagine - hundreds of greeting cards with their own unique message - could make a point???

I am EB-3 ROW PD 2007 Aug. Reading all the Eb-3 I people's angry, I started to wonder what's gonna happen to the EB-3 ROW. Seems like if lots of Eb3-I change to EB2-I , They will probably eat up all the Spillover from Eb1, EB2 ROW from now on. That makes EB-3 ROW and EB-3 I become the same boat.
Is it what gonna happened? and think about how many people can afford to spend an extra 10k to change the status from EB-3 to EB-2? That's totally not fair. We need to take action all EB-3 ers!!!!!!
danny,
i do not think its' quite that bad for EB3 ROW. the spillover system now in use is what USCIS was already doing till 2005. only in 2006 did the vertical spillover have any impact, since 2007 numbers were skewed by July. so things really have not changed that much for EB3 ROW. they will still get the large bulk of EB3 GC numbers, while retrogressed nations are limited to 7%.
also i do not think every future filing can be EB2. as it is USCIS a DOL appear to have tightened their scrutiny and narrowed their interpretation for both EB1 and EB2 approvals.
you are right of course that we must do something that helps everyone. recapture asap and then getting GC numbers increased (whether an absolute increase or exemptions) is the only solution.
