This idea was floated a few years back, but then we did not have the win of a flower campaign behind us.
We now have a senator to focus our energies on - Dick Durbin.
How about everybody with a US degree send a copy of the diploma in a packet to Sen Durbin with a message - Dont hold us hostage because of a few bad apples..something to that nature?
Alternatively we can send it to Sen Obama asking him to please let the senior senator from illinois, sen Durbin, know we are high skilled immigrants - dont hold us hostage because of a few bad apples.
maybe we can send an apple too :D
sending to sen obama will make sure the issue is played in media because of the presidential coverage.

Right. Its his view of stem cells research in ancient india. Some article I read in net which excerpted from mahabharatha.
"It appears that the ancient Indians also had the ability to clone humans(it's very ironic that contemporary India is taking the lead in stem-cell research) In the Mahabharata, the queen Ghandari, who had pregnancy problems and after 2 years bore a pinda(ball of flesh) which was then handed over to a sage. He divided this ball of flesh into 100 parts and treated them with a chemical process, then put each part into a sealed cooling container for 2 years, from which 100 male babies were created."
Maybe some support.. :)
I am opposing STEM cell bill then, I dont want to see Kaurava's running around...::-)

I brought this up in July 2006, about atleast filing a class action lawsuit, even if its thrown out of court, we have attention of the news media. Being a taxpayer we are entitled to use the court system. But, at that time I was practically boo-ed of the website to the extent, that I erased my comments and stopped coming to this website.
If we are in this together, I still think its possible. We talk about media attention, this is probably the best way to do so.
Grounds:
1) Discrimination based on country. I know about 7% quota, but a judge can put a hold on quota or refer it to more stidies or throw this issue. We dont know what the judge will think, its highly stupid for us to assume, that he will be against us from the start.
But it will get media coverage and media will definitely comment on numbers of indians/chinese and simple ignorance of whoever came up with this quota. And also the fact that these are doctors, engg stc and in high tax-brackets.
2) Emotional trauma, spouse not able to work and such. Thats a human rights issue, which is even bigger than immigration. It will start another debate.
These are two very big grounds, another would be taxation without representation.
I know immigration is a privilege, butas long as it gets media attention and average american starts realizing the difference between legal and illlegal.
I think it will also bring CIR to debate sooner.

Dear Mr. Oh,
Thank you for your efforts to the immigration community, that makes your
website a good source of information. I was writing to highlight some
corrections required in a news item on your home page related to a Flower
Campaign by several highly-skilled, LEGAL professionals. The reference to
"East Indian" is not right, as there are several professionals from various
ethnic backgrounds that are participating in this effort. Can I request you
to change the reference from "Indian" or "East Indian" to *"Highly-skilled
Legal Immigrants"?*
Thank you,

I got only 2 copies of AP from TSC. I might have to go to India multiple times in coming months (more that 2). Will the POE officer take the original AP on each entry? Is there any USCIS/CBP reference/guidelines that instructs the POE officer to take the copies and leave the orignals with us? Any help appriciated
Thanks
Give them one orginal. Subsequent trips, just tell them that you have only one original and they will make copies. Some body posted a memo but i am telling you from my personal experience that they do not insist for original if you dont want to give them one.

If she is here on H4 and while she was here her H1B got approved then there is no problem. As H1B is not VISA and its intent to hire. Infact if she wanted to to Join work on H1B, she will need to apply status change application for H4 to H1B.
Totally wrong. If the H1b was a COS, there has been a status violation by all means!

In murthy.com website there is the following write up to explain how priority dates are significant after i485 has been filed:
From: http://www.murthy.com/news/UDpdhdtw.html
"If a person has already filed the I-485 application when the dates were current, but then the Visa Bulletin date retrogresses to a date before the priority date, the foreign national would still accrue the benefit of being able to remain in the U.S. with renewable EAD or work authorization and permission to travel, even after completing the six years on H1B status in the U.S. However, the I-485 could not be approved until the date again becomes "current.""
However my question is if priority dates really matter for i140 or i485 processing then what are the processing dates published by uscis all about?
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp
Can anyone please clarify wether priority dates really matter after i485 filing?
As I can see that in NSC i485 of Sept 2006 are being processed.

capturing visa numbers would put an end to our misery. and increasing the employment based visa will pave way for future immigrants. handling a few thousand more cases is not a big deal for USCIS(there may be performance issues but not like difficulty of hiring more people to do the stuff!). don't get panicky about the number. it should be lot less than you would think.
I think 700K is an exaggeration too. One top attorney was saying that he has filed only a few hundred cases in July. if you assign an average of 250 cases for every attorney in the US, we need two thousand attorneys to arrive at 500K.
If DOS/USCIS can recapture unused visa numbers and stop assigning visa numbers to family members of EB category applicants, I think that will work very well without increasing EB quota.

At this time ONLY 30% of EB2 Indians have current PDs. I've asked this question before - don't you all think that maybe dates will not have to retrogress again? I mean, 30% is too low a percentage for triggering a backward movement of PD.
Any thoughts?
Seems like a good guess to me. In fact, EB-2-India might move forward.

There is a good job offer willing to take care of my GC process; my question is: "...being from Venezuela, with my H1B reaching its 6th year on June'29th 2009. Also, with my current employer my LC via PERM has been submitted under EB-3 since 08/06/07 at the Chicago Processing Center and is still "In Process".... I-140 & I-485 has not been submitted yet"
Should I just wait.... or transfer which means redo the LC (Ads & Wages) around 90 days plus transfer of H1B via premium around 7 - 10 days.
I just want to evaluate what will be closer and less stressful ...to wait until the actual process end with my current employer or just transfer because time invested is minimal compared to time to go.
I will appreciate your advice so I can get back to the new employer with a much better perspective.
Thank you in advance,

Hi All,
Just posting my experience of traveling on AP as a reference for others:
I traveled to Japan on a business visit with all 3 copies of my AP , and on return stood in the normal visitor line. When I came up to the officer, he said I should go to the "new immigrants" line, since only those officers have the necessary parole stamps.
In the other line, the officer said it was good that I brought all three copies, since they stamp all three, keep one original for themselves and return two back. The next time I travel, they will stamp the two I have, keep one and return one to me. After that, they will stamp the one original I have left, and make copies for themselves.
The officer did not ask any special questions, except which city I stay in, the rest of it was just chit-chat.
Simple process, no hassles.
Enjoy!
thanks for sharing the experience. One more question: which port-of-entry was this at? Interesting that it all completed at the main counter, many people ended up in secondary inspection when they used the AP.
