I don't know about the gulf. But Singapore and other Asian countries, pay structure is different for different race and skin color. This happens even if you have GC or citizenship from US.
when I mentioned about the pay structure based on Citizenship, I did'nt mean about race or skin color. there is a legal bilateral agreement between US, Canada and certain western nations, that if their citizen are hired in Gulf countries then the starting salary range is different. As far as discrimination in Singapore or other Asian nation you're right, especially Singapore, Malaysia etc..

I think we should write in only one thread about this VB mess until it is over. New users like me are getting hard time to find out the latest development of the VB issue. Either we should start a new thread or stick with only one. regardless of the subject/issue, we should post all our message into one single thread so that every one is on the same page.

I highly recommend Jessie Ho in Cupertino, CA. www.jessieho.com.
She responds to email/phone very reasonably (about an hour via email and 99% of the time answers phone). She worked over weekend to file I485.
She went out of her way to even pay USCIS filing fees from her pocket as there was a delay in processing compnay check. How many of your Lawyers will do that?

I agree porting to EB2 will be much faster.
Can we use experience gained with the current employer while porting from EB3 to EB2?

Thanks. I do have my EAD. Just fearful that since I wont be at the 6 month period, I wont get to portability.
Does US immigration check up on this stuff? If so, how? I'm thinking that the Texas processing center (where my info is being processed) is too busy working on my papers (and other folks' papers) rather than inquiring about everyone's employment status.
Is this wishful thinking?

I cannot believe that after everything that's happened over the last year or so, out of how many thousands of members of this group - just 199 of us called??
What are we doing as a group of people? Is it such a wonder that this country isn't moving on our immigration woes when we ourselves won't pick up the phone and talk to somebody about our troubles?
Wow-talk about complete and total apathy....I'm ashamed on behalf of each and every one those people who think they'll let someone else solve their problems - in which case I hope they don't ever complain about their lot in life. They have no right to.
Absolutely shameful...

The more I read this form, the more I become disgruntled with this community! To say that someone from a lower class of visa and not from an "Oversubscribed country" (and I am assuming you mean India) is less skilled and less deserving than someone from a higher class and oversubscribed country is ludicrous to say the least. Each and everyone of us (and I mean "legal immigrants") have our own skill sets and contribute equally to the American society. As long as we are competent at what we do, then we are all SKILLED in our own way. The only real defining difference among the visa classes is the level of education not skill. To suggest one is better based on education alone is arrogance and nothing else!
The U.S. immigration system is not without its flaws and despite the delays and frustrations, it is FAIR! The per country limit is to ensure that citizens of ALL nations have an equal opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. and not just a select few. The only thing that I have found unfair as far as immigration in this country is concerned is the politicians' focused efforts to do something for the "illegal" immigrants at the expense of the "legal" immigrants.
We are all in this together and the insults and innuendos that dominate this forum divide us so let's stop them and focus on the real issues!
Not entirely correct. When as you say this country treats all Employment based immigrants equally, why set quotas, why distinguish between EB1, EB2 EB3 etc.
The point is there are rules and they tend to favor certain applicants over others in the queue. More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
How can you say all nations have an equal opportunity to immigrate to the USA. That is patently false and you know it. Now you can defend it and say it is the US right to set its rules the way it wishes, and I can respect that, but to say it is equal opportunity is wrong.
What I have said all along is that EB immigration is to redound to the benefit of US EMPLOYERS not you or me. That is why the rules were skewed so much in their favor. Now, we agree there has been some abuse in this system, by those this system was meant to help, however its purpose remains intact. The rest of the rules are secondary to this intent, but nevertheless important.

I will match dollar for dollar all contributions for the next 3 hours, if some one from IV will confirm the amount.
Anybody wants to take Sugaur on his offer.
Right now the total to match is $300

Is there any update on administrative fix for filing the adjustment of status (485) without priority date being current. As this will be an important measure as well for those who miss the oppurtunity last year.
This fix would help definately relieve stress for our better half as well......

No. What I am saying is that this is a good amendment that can help us. But if its introduced and voted upon, it will fail to pass in the Senate because this amendment has a H1B exemption and H1B quota increases are very very unpopular and controvertial since last few years.
Therefore the achilles heel (Weak portion that will cause failure) of this good amendment is the H1B quota trick attached at the end. The amendment may pass the senate with a majority vote if it doesnt have H1B quota exemptions in it.
IV position since the beginning of this debate has been to ride either an H1B Bill or to tag along with Illegals.....Both of which have come back to bite us now....Hopefully we are able to get EB retrogression issued resolved now that we are left in lurch.....

With LC substitution Going away and 45 days between LC and I-140 and people able to apply in July for i-485 , with in next 3 months, INS will have a good knowledge how many are pending and how many years it will take .
Poeple should be able to get EAD and enjoy their time.
More H4's armed with EAD will enter the job market, Guess, more Testers, Java, .net developers driving the billing rates down and too much of unexpected mess
Get ready

Irrespective of whether or not cheapass desi sw consulting companies have spoilt it for the rest of us, the point here is that making us wait for an unreasonably long time is something we ought to question..which is what I believe IV is doing
I dont mind if the congress passes a bill and says it's going to take 6 yrs for a person to get his GC..its the uncertainty around retrogression thats bugging me. If I know it's going to take 6 or 8 or 10 yrs, i'd gladly look elsewhere..perhaps even go back to my home country.

I called the office and also got my better half to call. BTW I was locked out of the forum for a couple of weeks when after loggin in it was directing me to update my information. which I promptly did but it seems all the fields have meen made mandatory so it kept of directime me to put other information like when I applied for my I 485 which I haven't but I had to eventually put some garbage data. can some one look into this, I am sure there are a lot of other IV members being blocked out.
Thanks in Advance.
There is a sticky thread for this at the top.

this is the first time i heard details about this bill even though he has been talking about it after meeting Bush. the news article thread has the analysis i found from an anti immigration group site. AILA has posted it as their news today however they have not yet posted the summary of the bill. The question is which one of the 3 --SKIL bill, CIR or Pence will be really voted and which ones will be put in the backburner for future or silent demise!
In any case, Pence is one of the co-sponsors of the SKIL bill in the house.So I dont really think his bill would exclude us.The point is at least one of those bills should progress from where they are right now .. ANY bill.
