I believe it will be the same old story. They will wait till last quarter and then will waste thousands of visa numbers because of their darn slow processing hands and we people will again start talking optimism from Oct 2010.
What happened to the IV's talk with USCICS on spillover policies? Does anybody know?
my thoughts exactly - they are just relaxing till summer season !! and maybe they will make the dates current in last quarter too - this means more mess but more $$$$ for them.
time to make plan B = plan A. and plan C = plan B.
my plan C -- make more money, save more and buy less with eventual return to home country if needed !!

Hope is ok. But IV core has more access than normal members like lawyers, lobbyists. So their view is important. Atleast interpretation of Memo need to known to the members. Also feasiblity of succcess, amount of effort and money need to be known to the members. I am seeing silent in most lawyer sites like immigration-law, shusterman, ILW. Everyone posted memo but no one really that much bothered
I request you not to deviate from the topic. Lets hope IV core come up and support in this.

Property prices will soften worldwide. Though as someone pointed out many purchases in India are not credit based, so it may not be as bad there as there would be limited forced selling, though from what I have heard sales have and will slow markedly, another point to consider is that India has a population pressure like nowhere else in the world, as long as people can buy they will continue to do so.
It is also the case that the Indian economy is very much dependent on the US economy as much of the exports are to the USA, but the domestic economy is stronger than China. India can and perhaps will spend their 300 Billion dollar reserves in this down cycle for infrastructure development projects which should keep the domestic economy going.
An interesting thing is that the Indian Rupee is falling vis a vie the Dollar. I've heard it is because of hedge funds and other investors liquidating Indian assets to bring them back to the US where they have more pressing needs in a rapidly deleveraging system.
I would say that Property prices in India have adjusted downward by 15% or so already and will perhaps go another 10% but maybe not much more. I'm also hearing that the bigger hit is in the above 35 lakh properties, below that prices are holding up better.
Additionally if you are planning to buy from your savings/borrowings in the USA then you could benefit from the exchange rate, which is already nearly 25% better than a few months ago. Especially if you consider your situation shaky in the USA, it is an option worth considering. Given the US authorities can't seem to make up their minds whether they want us here, I can't see the sense in buying homes here, atleast buying there, you can ride out a market.

Seems like everyone here hates ICICI... I have been using ICICI for 8 yrs now...Had no issues transferring money..... They might have robbed me few paisa from exchange rate but i did not pay that close attention as i found that exchange rate at remit2india from times and Citi was always bad compared to ICICI. I do know about their bad practices in India where they force people to have min balance of 10-15 K and so forth. I think its time that RBI makes gets rid of min balance requirement or put upper ceiling on it. Having such a large sum (Equivalent to 2K USD when considered Purchase power parity) is ridiculous and kind of stealing of people's hard earned money. But again, ICICI is not the only one doing it so cant single them out.
After reading so many bad reviews about ICICI, i would like to check out SBI service, but not sure if they allow direct deposit in banks other than SBI? my parents are with IDBI so it is very convenient to have ICICI transfer money directly....Please advise
Hi raj3078
Yes you can send from SBI to any computerized bank in India just like ICICI.

I am glad IV is focusing more attention on the name check nightmare. I filed 485 in December 2006 (EB1) and am stuck in the namecheck.
Namechecks:
IV will be soon posting some updates on this. We have done some ground work on this issue in the recent past and have got positive response. Stronger support from our members, will definitely help us push this agenda item. IV feels that this issue is going to be a big roadblock for a lot of us now, after people have filed their I485s. It is possible to get a much wider bi-partisan support on this issue by us and we are already pursuing it.
Pls. stay tuned on this issue.

visves, Longq, alisa...
We have a difference of opinion on how the law is interpreted....
I believe that visves interpretation is correct....But there is always a small chance that longq does followup with a lawsuit, USCIS would budge...
if longq wants to gather some EB2 India/China and have a crack at suing USCIS as a personal level....( i.e.not using IV's resources).....I guess no one can stop him...I am EB3/India....So that suing does not benefit me anyway...
The common denominator for all of us is increasing the total numbers......
If members want to pursue certain things on their own at personal level..I cannot do anything ...after all it is a free country...

Believe it or not, I know a consultant who lives in one of those "guest houses" where consultants who come from India are housed, and there is a guy who lives there whose job is to cook, clean and buy groceries for the housmates. HE HAS A GC APPLICATION PENDING! And people like me and many others who truely deserve to be hired and retained in this country are facing an uphill task of getting through the GC process.
That cook guy came to the US with a Bachelor degree in commerce, called B.Com. He hasn't been able to get a project for 4 3 years now. He doesn't get paid by the company. He is just a freeloader living there.
Imagine how many suck "cooks", "maids", and gas station employees might be out there clogging up the system!
I don't get this. Who is sponsoring this person's GC? He must have a sponsor to get the EB-based GC. He can't show his job skills as cooking !!:)

Do we really believe there aren't enough Americans to handle IT work in America?
yes. I honestly do. Having been through multiple recruitment attempts, at three different companies, in the bay area of all places: there are simply not enough qualified/interested american citizens available.
H-1b is not cheap labor. American companies prefer to hire H-1bs with US master's degrees or with substantial amounts of US experience. When they do hire foreigners, they do not discriminate against them by paying them lesser.
H-1bs are abused by desi vendors and the like who take advantage of the indenturing nature of the visa and also on the naivety of "fresh off the boat" people who newly arrive into the US and are unfamilar with US economy. They are starry eyed, still busy converting each dollar into their local currency and feeling happy they are earning relatively more and dreaming about paying off their EMIs back home, sooner. It takes quite a few months for them to settle down and understand US dynamics.
I agree.
Lastly, we should not confuse the need for H-1bs as equal to the need for GC holders. Take the example of middle eastern countries. They use foreign labor, but they never grant them permanent status. That way, they do not get stuck with them in the event of a downturn. American could have chosen to follow a similar model. Use H-1b temps when necessary and send them out when they are expendable. They have no reaons to hand out GCs, like I said earlier. The benefit is all ours.
good point. However unlike the kind of work being done in the middle-east, there are a ton of companies in the US founded or co-founded by immigrants. There is a reason this place is called the land of immigrants. Handing out GCs gives these people options to start companies and many many of them do. this creates jobs, creates more intellectual capital, all within the US. In 6 years if you make a cook in Dubai leave and go back to Kerala (just picking a typical example) he is not going to do anything to compete with Dubai. You make these H1-Bs who have spent 6 years here (working on various products, technologies, ramping up, understanding customers, relationships etc) go back, they are going to start companies in India. Now all the capital stays out there. The same 5 products that could have been built in the US and sold to lots of companies abroad, will now have to be bought by the US.
If there is any kind of immigration that I think the US does not gain much from, its the diversity lottery and to an extend the chain migration that comes from family based immigration. EB immigration is a BIG win for the US economy.

I dumped H1B, and even renewing EAD myself. Keep on giving I9 form.
This helps me to keep interaction at the minimum with Desi Employer.
Now that you are on EAD, what is your plan of action if your I-485 is denied (for a valid/invalid reason)? What do you think of (1) above?

Long as you are married before your 485 is approved you should be ok. What is your PD and category?
One hint they give you is when they send the fingerprinting (FP) notice. You can't be approved without that. And after FP it takes any where from 3 - 6 months.
I am getting married in Jan 2008. can i go ahead and apply now? How to include the wife? will that be a problem.

Thanks guys for the moral support and quick responses.
More details are as follows:
1. This accident occurred in 18 months back in CA
2. We were going on high way and suddenly the car infront of me came to a sudden halt and as I didn't had any reaction time, even though I applied brakes I went and rammed into the van in front of me, which in turn hit the car infront (like a ripple effect) and totally 8 cars were involved in that collision.
3. So at first we thought it is entirely my fault as I was coming at 50s and I rear ended the care which inturn created this ripple effect.
4. But the actual scenario is, the van infront of me came to halt, as it rear ended the car infront of it and due to which the other car hit the one infront.
So already one accident happened and I caused one more and as mine was a 11 seater and coming at 50s the impact was high and involved in 8 cars.
All this happened within in mins or secs, I would say
--> --> --> --> --> --> --> -->
Myself car1 car2 car3 car4 car5 car6 car7
In the above pictorial representation,
a) car 1 hit car2 which in turn hit car3 (1st impact)
b) Myself hit car1 again which ripple effected all the way upto car7 (2nd one)
I was the only person injured and and had to be hospitalized with bi-lateral hip fractures and right knee fractures and was out of work for 4 months.Luickly my insurance covered most of the amount thats been charged(around 300K)
Finally I recovered to a great extent and out of blue gets a lawsuit from the owner of car3 against myself, Car1 and car2.
BTW, insurance determined that my fault is 80% as I caused the greater collision and they paid the property damages for all the cars involved.
As per the lawsuit, seems car3 drivers spouse had herniated disc due to this accident and are expecting $200,000 for future treatment
So they are claiming the following:
3 milliion for : other damages(emotional etc.....)
200,0000 for: future treatment
50,000 for: lost wages
Thats is what the story of my life :(
Hope this gives u more details to provide me with more suggestions.
This lawsuit is ludicrous.
Mostly u won't be liable as you didnot start the chain reaction.
if it happens that u need to pay, and you are unable to comeup with that much of money, u can always file for bankruptcy [chapter 7].
Don't even think of running away, as that will make matters worse.
Law protects you if you are not able to comeup with that much amount of money.
