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,

being EB3I myself, it makes me happy to hear a fellow EB3I getting GC. having said that...
 
the only and correct question about this whole thing is,
 
Can & will CIS legally take back the GC (even if its their mistake), in future, when they find out?
 
The answer sadly is,
 
Yes, they can, they will, as they already did in a few instances, as reported in these forums.
 
Not contacting CIS to correct the mistake, with a hope of 'they won't notice' and a logic of 'well, it's their mistake and i have to plead ignorance' is like the idiom, hiding your head in the sand, the Ostrich Effect.

Lets NOT do a hunger strike. 
Think of something that is unique, gets media attention, something that has not been done, but conveys the message in a very subtle way and yet is very powerful and will create a lump in the throat.
Free math turoring, free SAT preperation classes, you get the idea....
 
Good idea, do something constructive and get media attention. This solves multiple purposes, media attention, best use of time, and would also convey a positive message.

Sure.. if you say so.. y didn't u say that earlier.. jeez
It's official guys, we ROWs only argue for the sake of our self servient morality or lack thereof, while all others are on a Utopian conquest of fairness..
Never mind, good luck to everyone and sorry for time wasted thinking we were having a conversation
Good bye :)
 
That's quite a dumb inference.
 
Dude, what's wrong in admitting a bit of selfishness here?
 
All of us want something in the end, and that's why we're here pooling our needs together. Nobody's asking you to be selfless.

That is a very good idea!
 
I like this and rallies at state capitals, because it would be easy for everyone to attend in their home states, but there might be small numbers in many cities that would not bring much attention
 
I also like letters, flowers, etc in mass
 
And also, how about:
 
The broken system is causing a reverse brain rain, right? Well How about we:
 
1- Each one of us buys 10 bath tub stoppers (you know, the stoppers you use when taking a bath, to stop the water gig down the drain) and mail them to Congress, Media, USCIS, etc- With a letter "Please stop the self-inflicted U.S. Reverse Brain Drain, already 100,000 highly-skilled have left, stop the 10-year green card delays for LEGAL highly-skilled immigrants"
2-At the same time, we ALL send WHITE roses to Congress (Roses are now IV's trademark, we are known for them and the peace they mean, and roses should probably be on IV's logo too) Attach same note
 
THAT will send a strong message!!! (trust me)

If you seek "hidden" messages, you'll find them everywhere, including Leonardo DaVincis MonaLisa ( like in 'Da Vinci Code'). Are you a mind reader? How can you tell what's in my mind? You barely know me! So please don't jump to conclusions.
 
 
Make no mistakes, I would like to change the course of events. Otherwise I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have walked those two miles in DC with the rest of my brethren! I just don't know how as I am new to this game - building an organization from the ground up, motivating people [ without losing my temper over shameless taunts and lame excuses ], inspiring people to raise their voices against injustice etc. I'm not exactly a leader material like Aman Kapoor.
 
If it gives you any satisfaction - yes, I do blame myself as much as I blame others for the sorry state of my state chapter. If you read my previous post you'll see that I've used "we" (i.e. includes me) and not "you" or "them". Hope this makes things clearer to you.
 
 
I read and understood the whole paragraph with both "published" and "Hidden" messages what you wanted to convey. If you do not see much activity on your state forums, why do not you take the lead to reverse the course? That would be the right direction rather than suggesting to change the skeleton. Do you blame yourself (Since you are claiming yourself a member)for not having much activity in your state level? If not then problem lies there and that is my hint to you.

Can we form a Human Chain protest across the major cities of the country at a predefined date and time. for instance, say Nov 9th between 11.AM and 1 PM.
 
This way more local people, across the country, can participate and as the timing is around lunch hours, I presume many of us can get back to work within the two hour duration.
 
May be this decentralized & concerted effort in all major cities/states across the country at a specified time may gather main stream media attention.
 
This is just a thought...

The document mailed is your APPROVED AP.
 
Congrats!!
 
Thanks , I appreciate your reply.
 
I am more concern about the text, In one message says: Approval notice sent, in the other application, which is as follows, says Document mailed to applicant, (Status does not say, "APPROVED")
 
 
 
Receipt Number: SRCXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
 
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On July 1, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Congrats!!

There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.

Desi, 
Time and again I have noticed that you backed your suggestions with relevant documents. I for one, commend you for the work you do on this forum. I was almost thinking this case might set a precedent for dormant H1B, but apparently not. The other information that you provided on the other forum that was completely new to me was, when you pulled out the document regarding GC for the child of permanent resident born abroad.
 
Thank you for good work.
 
Thanks so much for your kind words of appreciation.
 
I believe in sharing my limited knowledge of immigration laws and cases with fellow legal immigrants.

They have to abolish the H1B programme completely since they can no longer prevent its abuse. They need to have a new process in place in which scrutiny occurs for each application of a foreign worker!
 
Another option is to spread the words how Americans treat H1B workers, esp. those educated ones. Once a realistic view about coming to America as a legal foreign worker is known, I bet a lot of people will not come. Who is going to waste 10 years of their life living in a "near-slave" work environment and at the end still apply to Canadian residency? :D
 
Once nobody, esp. those well-educated, high-tech, skill workers, comes, they will see the impact of the whole American immigration saga. ;)

I dont mean to discourage folks here...
 
But here is what I have seen more often with MBA. Techies like programmers, business analysts in IT sector have done their MBAs from good schools and ended up doing the same job EVEN WITH GREENCARDS.
 
I have seen GC holders doing MBA and then after finishing MBA ending up with same job description with a 5% increase in pay.
 
So please do your research in HOW MBA is going to help you in your situation. Your job and your INTENDED JOB POST MBA may not really need you to have an MBA. And I have seen this way too often. So think before you pluck down 30,000 dollars on a degree that might do little benefit financially after you complete it.
 
From what I know, MBA is more of a long term goal, not an immidiate short term thing. If you plan on continuing your career as a techie, then MBA might not be the right thing for you. But, if you plan on moving up the corporate ladder, then having an MBA helps in a big way. A lot of financial companies and IT companies prefer their corporate executives to have an MBA (preferably from a well reputed school). When you have 2 candidate with similar attributes, but one of them has an MBA, then for a corporate position, the choice is obvious.
There are always exceptions to this. If you are exceptionally good, then having this degree may not be necessary at all (the reverse holds too :) )
 
Finally, the biggest advantage of going to a top B school is the social networking aspect. The kinda people you meet at a top school are the ones that have a high potential for opening companies, working in a substantial role in good companies, etc. It is always good to be networked with such folks. If you are the entrepreneurial type, then all the better!

I have had this query before. I had an H1B stamping on my passport for a company I never worked for. (Company A)
 
But, when I applied for a H1B for a different company (Company B). My lawyer asked me if I ever worked for them and received any salary from them ... this was a RFE on my H1B case.
 
All I did was replied to my lawyer with a negative answer to both questions (worked, salary for Company A).
 
I got my new H1B approval I guess within 30 days of that RFE reply.
 
You might want to contact a lawyer to draft a reply to USCIS though. I do not have a copy of the letter to provide to you ... Sorry!
 
not be as simple as H1 renewal. G325 is pretty important form. The information provided on it is wrong. They could treat it as falsifying document.
 
OP please contact your lawyer asap.
