Can we take the following decision. (this question is for the regular members who reply to peoples queries)
Questions that ask for any help or suggestion will be answered only if the persons signature mentions that they have contributed.
People who dont want to contribute can go to elsewhere and ask questions
It is not fair to expect a member to contribute the moment (s)he joins. It takes some time to understand the impact of GC problems and get a good feeling about IV activities. IV can not post its activities on forums. You will be surprised to know that anti-immigration organizations are well organized.
However, we have numerous members with 50+ posts and 3+ month of membership with no intension to contribute $20 (you will not get 2 Indian Buffet's in Washington DC for $20; it takes $4 (metro up) + $4 (metro down) + $4 (parking) everyday to DC).
I (and other members) have literally begged some of these members. One particular member says (s)he is going back to his/her country but starts posting obnoxious messages after a few weeks.

I thought people came here for economic reasons(mostly), now it looks like we cannot afford good property inn India and are not going back.
I think you got a very good point here.
If India is really good economically, people from all over the world would be going there and find job.

I think when you are 35+ and 'you are in the 7th/8th/9th year of H1b with no idea if/when you will get GC' it's practical to invest in business.
While we are at it let me throw this in....
Assuming you decide to persue MBA from a good university instead of online. What kind of investment of time and money are you looking at? Is it really worth the investment when you are already in your 30's? Is is worth spending the time and money on a MBA? If you spend the same time/money on a business opportunity wouldn't that be better in the longer run? Is it practical to start a business when you are in the 7th/8th/9th year of H1b with no idea if/when you will get GC? Is it a safer bet to invest in education?

I agree. I feel that the only thing that would be acheived if IV became a paid website is loss of membership. Then our PR documents will start with "IV is an organization of 200 members who are affected by ... "
Human nature is such that a few lead and others follow. We should recognize this and move on.

Good news but sounds too good too be true. On an average a family takes away 2.5 visas and going by this only 50,000 applications for primary bene is pending.
So if they are giving this info to Senator for free why are they asking us to pay $5K for this; unless we requested different information.

YOU people are screwing us poor legal immigrants...don't YOUR people know even simple FIFO processing....are YOUR people so dumb that they don't understand how to read a calendar... YOU guys @#$!$$%
:D:D
(just kidding. could'nt resist getting at YOU folks... enjoy)
I understand your frustration. Believe me I have gone thru the same.
When I filed for my I-485 in 2000, the PD was current for me for 23 months in row when it got approved. Can you believe this? PD was current for whole 23 months while I-485 was pending.
One of my goals is to help my future legal immigrants. Being a US citizen gives me vote voice and power. I am open to suggestions. I would like to help my fellow legal immigrants.
I know, the wait time is long, but it is worth it every bit.
Good Luck to everyone.

Guys, please make mention about the wastage of estimated over half a million visas over the last decade due to bureaucratic and processing inefficiencies at the USCIS, while we have been waiting patiently.
The best outcome for us in all honesty would be a visa recapture legislation to get those of us at the 485 stage out of the system.

It's only how your company treats a particular job opening that you get designated as EB2/EB3. I could file in EB2 and lots of top-rankers from my class could only file in EB3. Does that make them any less capable than me?? Nope!
Exactly and that is the only tangible that immigration law quantifies. EB3 does NOT label an individual as an inferior in terms of skills or knowledge he posses, but simply binds him to the definition of the job that he agreed to take on.

Not to dishearten any one or not intended against any one
Buying a home right now?? must be kidding me. Do you want to commit for a 30 yr loan when the starting rates are around 6.75 ? (How many will get that rate?). Keeping interest rate aside, There is no way any one can make 100K by buying a home in the current market. I am glad you could and sorry that I couldnt. I am looking at the DC area market that went crazy and now is cooling down. go to www.zillow.com and check homeprices and what happened to homes in the neighborhood.
Some facts about Allied Health care who plan on getting PT's and Nurses from India
Do you know that they need to get a visa screen certificate (PTs and Nurses) to get into the country?
Have you ever dealt with FCCPT & CGFNS (one that gives Visascreens for PT's & Nurses).
Do you know that the license they get is temporary (6 months ) and by the end of the 6 months they have to pass licensing exam in the US?
Do you know how much time they take for processing a type1 application (for applicants without a U S state PT license )?
Applicants must take TOEFL CBT/IBT and get 250/92 respectively. I am not sure about the exact scores. On IBT there is a section wise score you have to achieve minimally. If you have TOEFL CBT you have to take TSE as well and get 50 min. Many people in India get 45 to 48 even after 2 to 3 attempts
Schedule A is set to retrogress any time.
Health care is not IT, other wise desi consultants might have been pumping nurses like crazy into the US.
Hope I shed some light

Congrats DESI
US citizenship is a final stop for most/many immigrants. Post Sep 11, there has been a surge in nationalization applications because technically GC is like a long term visa to stay permanently. Therefore there is always a risk of losing GC because of DUI or other trivial or accidental issues etc.
Also post Sep 11, a lot of govt/sensitive projects that were available for GC only have been restricted to US Citizens. You lose a significant chunk of the available jobs market if you are a GC holder in the Maryland/DC/North Virgina area. In fact I know a lot of GC who kept their old passports but because of these hassles eventually decided for Naturalization.
Yes that is the one reason. Moreover i can get the Indian citizenship back by staying in India for 5 years on OCI card or PIO card. It is that simple. But Once i go back to India coming here is big problem. So I planned to take USC and Do an R2I later whenever i need or I want.
This week i became an USC after 9 years of stay in US. I can retain USC and stay in India. Came to US in 2000. Applied GC in 2002 Jan got the green card 2003 December with EB3
funny thing is While starting the Interview officer said " Oh you are a new immigrant" . I said I am here since year 2000. Officer replied you have just completed 5 years on Green card.

It is completely unpredictable. Actually when you file I485 USCIS does not process FIFO(They are supposed to). For example there are 10k gc are left for the year. First they will process the applications which are cleared FP based on PD and receipt date. Always risk is there when filing without marriage. You are safe till USCIS starts process your application. When they take your application for processing then you cannot add your spouse. Also if CIR decides to process backlogs faster then also you will be in problem. Best option is if your marriage is already fixed do it within 3 months and file GC before PD is backdated. You need not file July first. You can wait till Jul15 to see next VB and decide.
You guys are amazing.. I have one hypothetical question.. Please pls let me know what you would have done in the below scenario. I think a simple yes or no answer is what I am looking for.
PD is Apr 06 - I-140 approved - Currently Unmarried � WILL TAKE ATLEAST ONE YEAR BEFORE I GET MARRIED - My Spouse will be residing in India at the time of marriage - Spouse would not have any valid U.S visa (H1 or L1).
I have read this thread and others, and I think I understand a little on how the process works. I am looking for your gut-feeling answer if I should apply for 485 or wait till I get married. Let�s assume that my marriage will take place only after one year from now.
I know it�s a very very tricky situation, I am very confused. Obviously, my preference is to wait for a longer time to get my GC, than separated from spouse for years.
Should I apply for 485 or not?
