They won't be any better off here.Instead of being kicked out fair and square, they will be made to decay on H1 visas for 15-20 years. Talk of choosing a rock over a hard place. Besides, the British MPs seem to at least understand what skilled immigration means - here they will have the pleasure of being grouped with meat-packers and grape-pickers who matter-of-factly walked across the border.
I think its also a lesson for those tired of the US immigration system and considering moving to other countries - lets face it, immigrants are not exactly welcome anywhere. Either stick it out, or return to home country.
yes I shared my views with few friends who are moving to US on h1b from UK and advised them that grass is not greener here either. For some reason, a lot of people still do not understand the retrogression issue, anyways, when they come here they will know :)

There is not a word that I disagree. Your are preaching to the choir:)
I wasn't even talking about the 55K, just the X-55k. X being the all EB immigrants-in-waiting. They will join after the advocacy day if they change their opinion, if not there's no change whatsoever.
Hypothetically speaking, let's assume all the 55,000 members in IV are active but are not organized under one umbrella (IV). Each of them have the same problem (stuck in the backlogs) and each of them approach lawmakers. Each discusses their own personal case and each of them discuss about a solution that fits them - (human nature). Some of them may be the very same provisions as IV. But will these 55,000 people mention all the provisions? chances are - No.
So, there will be no coherent messaging, even though there are 55,000 people participating simultaneously.
Second, without being an organized unit, we loose the collective strength. Say a lawmaker is interested in fixing our problems - his task will be tremendous - he probably has only 10 people who have approached his office to fix the problem - so not only does he have to find out if there is a wide range of people affected by this problem, he also has to contact each of the 10 people individually. Guess what? he too will suggest for the 10 people to join forces and be under one umbrella.
What I am trying to say is that IV has already brought us together. It has built good relations with key people in DC. It has done the ground work. Why not build on the sound foundation?
In life we are ready to be grouped as Indians, Indian-Americans, Asians, Male, Female, Married, Unmarried, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, political organizations (we believe in one or the other - independents, democrats, republicans, congress, bjp), Unions, Employees of Cisco, IBM, Desi Consulting - what is wrong in identifying oneself in a group if you believe in it? By nature we are a collective group, but we think that it is wrong/unnecessary to belong to a group! We think we are smarter for being independent. But the truth is that even the most independent of the guys lives in a society. He may not accept it, but that does not change the facts.
Bottom line is, what each one of us believe in. If we believe in a cause, we will find a way to work on it. Quantity matters only when there is quality. If we have to depend on only one, my preference would be on quality. I want the loudest person, but at the same time, I want that loud person to be shouting the message that I want - or else it defeats the purpose.
Leo, this is just my opinion, not IV's - though I would think IV will agree with me. I believe in collective strength and individual's logic to think matters through.
I have nothing more to say.

It is in the bottom of the first page of I-485 application form. It says "Fill in box if G-28 is attached to represent the applicant"
Your employer or lawyer can certainly fill it in but they would need your signatures on the G-28 form. Without your signatures, no one can represent you as it is YOUR application.
yes..I can see it now..thanks though.
I hope my employer wont ask me to give G-28 now.

My passport expires in Nov, '07 and am planning to travel to India shortly. I would like to know if we are required to submit the original/copy of I-94 for passport renewal.
Your answers are very much appreciated.

of course NOT! It's still stuck on April 16th.
The dates are a joke.
Seems like they are just a diversion. to keep our minds occupied so we don't bother them with the real issue at hand. I can only say that whoever devised this system is a genius, albeit an wicked one.

I don't know much about Labor Subs to answer...what I did notice is that your lawyer is through company...not going to generalize, but with company lawyers you really should question them and not believe totally what they say....meaning do your own research too. Company lawyer's are interested in keeping employees longer at company and can sometimes push you to do things to cause that. I don't know why you can't have 2 I 140's. But withdrawing your first one would invalidate your 485/ead and depending on your priority date (which would be 2007/2008) and country of birth, you may not have a chance to apply for 485 for a long long time (meaning stuck in same job for long long time...). Again I don't know much about labor subs, my advice is to do your own reasearch, get answers, opinions, and not just take company's lawyers word on everything.

Thanks for your reply "WeShallOvercome", The question which you answered is on top of my head from so many days, I asked some many people and they are not sure, Thanks your help
One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
I do know that you guys will be safe on your H1 and H4 status. I do not know for sure if she needs to go out of the country and re-enter on H4..I've heard something like that before though..

Think about this , Your citizen kid can sponsor you when he/she attain 18.
So who ever planning to have one , start implementing , and parent of 10 month old just wait for 17 yr 2 months.

I was with Swede and the Polish guy at the rally. I myself chose IV over other organization precisely because the diversity and the common ground IV embraces--they represent the true American Dream and the fundation of Democracy.
The diversity: IV was initially established by a group of Indians, but it has a welcoming attitudes toward anyone who has suffered, is still suffering, and will suffer from the broken system.
The common ground: IV clearly estabishes that English is the language for the forum (at least the main forum). By setting the language, the IV sends a message of welcome to all who share the American Dream. By including individuals across countries of origin, IV recognizes the nature of the Great Melting-pot and shows that we have the ability to be inclusive, tolerant, and work together on a democratic basis.
Let's make efforts to mobilize people across countries of origin and work towards success! KEEP IV STRONG!

I think gas price is a non-issue. Gas in India is more expensive than in the US and considering the income there, the effective cost is even more higher. And yet, people continue to buy more and more without regard for increasing gas prices.
The same logic applies here. Back in 2001, once gas prices starting going up and in places where gas cost $1.30, it hit $1.50 which people found "shocking". And yet, there wasn't the slightest reduction in the number of cars bought. Even now, with all the dismay at soaring prices, nothing much has changed. Freeways are just as jammed as ever.
The fact is, the American is well equipped to deal with $6 prices. The reaction we see is is just due to the unpleasant thought of having to pay more. It is not a showstopper by any stretch of anyone's imagination. At the worst, it just means they will have to cut back on annual vacations which is not a big deal for us, but obviously a catastrophe to the average American.
just for comparison sakes...do remember that the distance from churchgate to virar (in bombay) is 35 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Suburban_Railway.
That is equivalent of approx 22 miles. I doubt there is anybody is bombay that drives 35 km one way on a daily basis. But in the US living 10-20 miles from work is not bad. People in my office drive about 40 miles one way without blinking an eyelid. Some drive even more. Plus the cars that they have in india have smaller engines, smaller capacity thereby better gas mileage.
So for people who say gas is a non issue, think again.
