whoa
I did not know it can be that bad
r u working in the USA now?
:confused:
yes I am working in the bay area.
Back in 2001/2002/2003 I have seen many friends having to return to India (from the bay area) because they could not get another job. All the desi consulting companies that everyone bashes so often? they are the saviours. They are typically the only ones who hire in those times. All the big companies will have hiring freeze's and massive layoffs.
Its already started in the US (Sprint:4k, Lehman Bros 1300, Motorola 7500+1600, applied-materials 1000) but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
Its starting from the financial sector:

but will probably spread all over.
The real mess will start in Q3 (thats when we'll know if we are really sunk or some last minute stimulus is goign to keep this recession short and quick). Most probably this time its going to take much longer than 2001/2002 to recover. Back then the dollar was strong, there was a huge fiscal surplus and inflation was not a risk. This time none of those things are there and stimulating the economy is going to take much much longer. Also, to an extent in 2001/2002 it was only tech that imploded. The rest of the economy (& consumers by extension who are the main drivers of the economy) was ok. This time its widespread, consumers across the board are hit.
The July VB was a huge blessing in disguise for lots and lots of people who will be able to maintain status even if they are jobless for a few months. Back in 2001/2002/2003 the option was to be out-of-status of return home. Many chose the latter. This time they can atleast get a job offer from a desi consulting company and keep looking for some consulting gig.

Ganguteli,
If you can help our friend who is stressed, thats great. If you cant, this is no time for "you should have come to us earlier" moment. Ridiculing a guy who has just come to this forum is not going to help you get over your GC frustration.
***
Dont stress out buddy. You might have to make tough decisions..like move back to India, Canada...UK immigrants are going through a tough time...... You still have 9 months to either get your employer to apply Labor or find another job that does.......If you cant..its not the end of the world....Enjoy your time here...start applying in India..... For any other questions do come back to this forum again.....Almost everyone is very helpful, non-judgemental & friendly.
You are undergoing what a lot of H1Bs go through.
They do not care about greencard on H1B thinking that it will come whenver the company applies until it is too late. They enjoy the first 3 years of H1B enjoying America and dollars and do not bother about IV or advocacy or contributing money to IV. I have seen such people even telling others it is a waste of time and making fun of IV. After 3 years they renew H1B thinking that they still have 3 more years. But once 6 years are about to expire they worry that they will have to leave US of A and the land of opportunities. It is at that time they try to start greencard process and check out IV. These same people then start contributing to IV and take this effort seriously.
You still have time of 1 year and 9 months and that is good enough to get your labor through. Good luck and hope you find help from people here.

GCPlease - I am also in the same boat! RFE not yet received but looks like it could be for the photos. Its been over 8 days now. I did not get a notice for biometrics. It could be because we did our 485 biometrics just 8 months ago. Perhaps they will just use that.
Should I just send the photos in and see what happens without waiting for the actual RFE? Where did you send the photos? Same address as the docs that you sent?
Thanks,
gchopes
wait for 15 days since USCIS said they sent you the rfe. After that you can call uscis at the # they have in the EAD Receipt they sent you, and you can open a Service Request for non delivery of the RFE. There is a 15 day rule. if you call earlier, they are not gonna entertain you. I got my RFE after 3 days I opened the SR.
But call immediately after the 15 days because the time limit for you to send the rfe is 33 days and this clock starts from the time they say they have sent you the rfe (which you may have recived in an email notification or the online status). They did not extend this time period for me due to non-delivey.
The RFE they sent had the address we need to send the response. I think it was a different address.
The above said information is based on my experience. It may be be different with each case. you know how uscis is. just use it as a guideline.

Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year. You may help yourself doing this and that humble act may get your GC quick and thus enable you to enjoy cruises to Bahama every year without worrying about Visa validity and time lines.

I signed the G-28 for 485, EAD & AP. Attorney received the receipt notices for all and he just emailed the case no(s) and A #.
When I ask him to mail me the receipt notices, he says its not their general practice to send them to clients and they are really not useful when I start getting the FP notice etc...This is really weird!
Folks - Is it possible to get a copy of the receipt notices by calling USCIS?
Thanks in advance!

I think the reason is little bit of everything.
1. We are a very small group.
2. We are doing white collar jobs which they are affraid we are stealing
from their sons and daughters (compare that with the toilet cleaners)
3. We get No sympathy from any side. Reason: we earn lot of money (at least
thats what they think)
4. Our issues are complex. Not many people understand retrogression
or H1B restrictions (compare that with "Hiding in the shadows" argument)

Major flaw in your analogy is you failed to imply that only USCIS can produce TVs worldwide and it can produce only 140k of them for worldwide customers. Also they can only produce 7% of 140k for each country to fit each country's specifications. They sure will have customers, doesn't matter if their customer service sucks. Simple supply and demand theory.

I appologize profusely for the misunderstanding... entirely mea cupla. :(
Anyway, you won't have to worry about having to see any bit of me anymore... perhaps there's somewhere where someone who shoots non-Canon equipment that doesn't have a CMOS or CCD inside it is welcome. Goodbye.
No need to apologize or leave and this site is not just for Canon or Nikon users but a site that is communal and not dictated by opinions.
I hope you don't leave.........I'd miss your valuable contributions. To add what Matt said about water under the bridge........the water flows but the bridge still stands.

Congratulations.
Don't mind a few people's complaints.
Most people including myself don't know the details of the immigration law.
That's why we need lawyers, and you followed your lawyer's suggestion to get your GC.
Congratulations, again

I have a valid point to akhilmahajan.
I work for security industry (database auditing) and i do know the concerns and security related issues.
Here USCIS may be sending the information of one applicant to the other applicant. This may happen with a probability of 1 in 100.
Now tell me, what will you or i be doing with someone else's data?
Atleast skilled immigrants like us will not harm and or destroy knowingly someone else's credit history. This will not only destroy your future citizenship options but will also lead to deportation in case you are caught.
Also, there will no credit card numbers and or bank account details to be lost.
One more thing is, you can always fight back and reverse the screw up that may happen in case your social security number is misused and you have a proof of it.
By saying this, what iam saying is, the threat is not as serious as the thread author seems to indicate. There are bigger concerns on our plate who needs our attention.
Unless the USCIS mistakenly publishes your data on website and or looses hard disk with all the data in it at walmart, you shouldn't be worried.
Peace.
I hope i did not offend you.
It looked to me a valid point.
Anyways, everything is all set now and i hope this does not happen to anyone.............

Welcome hopelessinseattle!
I live in Seattle as well.
You are right. They do not tell you likely because employers enjoy the idea that people visa dependent many times turn out to be "more productive" for the company. This is just a nuance, but I can speak from my own experience that I used to work longer hours and demand less when I was on H1B. It is a fact.
Only time will tell. There is no lawsuit angle to be explored against this as far as I know.
It is interesting what other members reported about people being in denial, even when you clarify about the difficulties about the greencard process. I had my own brother coming here and his employer talked big about greencard, etc and he started making plans to bring his wife. I told him everything we have been through and he didn't pay attention to it. In the end it turned out that his profession was not even eligible for H visas.
Good luck to us all. God Bless America.
Tito
When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?

Excellent sanju...CNN is FOX News in a closet. There is no independent media left anymore.
Larry King pushed Michael Moore schedule to cover Paris Hilton interview. That shows their committment to quality news.
I will do the same.
A few days I called Comcast to disconnect CNN and CNN headlines from my cable. The Comcast representative was surprised as to why I want to cut CNN. She transferred me to her supervisor. The supervisor noted down my complaint and said that he will get back to me in 3 business days. Next day I got a call from Comcast that they will block CNN entirely from my cable. I thanked them as I will not have bigotry coming into my house anymore.

troll Alert.
posting controversial or provocative messages in a deliberate attempt to provoke flames.
Is it too much to ask Google to put a Diwali logo like it does for Hanukkah or Christmas .. at least if not in google.com but in google.co.in?
Also is it too much to expect American mainstream media to totally NOT ignore Diwali which has significance for the second largest population in the world and instead publish significantly less significant story of the balloon boy?
Is it too much to ask for to include Diwali in the spell check for this editor? (Not wailing or Gwalior ...)
It is this mentality of deliberately ignoring the feeling of majority of the world population that is getting the western civilization more and more isolated and retracted.
Well it doesn't really matter. And I am visiting India now and I can see that this country and China will definitely kick ass of Western civilization .. as it is already doing. The people here are hungry for more and in spite of seemingly unsurmountable problems it will succeed and once again India will be the "Sone Ke Chiriya".
With this thoughts and wishing peace .. happy and prosperous diwali to everyone.
May Lord Rama bless the world.
