Damn, man it feels like you are reading my mind.
Irrespective of the immigration impact and its direct effect on me, I have tried analyzing the situation at the macro level and I end up at the same conclusion.
Health care, immigration, social security insolvency etc. no one cares about anything. Companies want to bring skilled labor in and it is being decided by a lottery!! I mean give me a God damn break. In the supposedly knowledge-driven economy, skilled workers are being selected by a lottery!
Medical emergencies are the leading cause of bankruptcy and there is just talk on the issue, no action.
Farms are shutting down and moving operations to Mexico. So now the oil will come from Middle East, manufactured goods from China and food from Mexico. And people are Ok with that because "companies just need to pay higher wages to *American* workers" So on top of $ 4 /gallon gas, we will be paying $ 8 for tomatoes.
There are not the marks of a prospering or forward-looking nation. May be I am becoming cynical as I grow older and may be things are no better in other countries like Canada, UK etc. But sometimes I feel as if I am watching a bad comedy show in slow motion. I question myself if my son, a US citizen by birth, will end up growing in a 2nd world country.
America was built by immigrants who came here with no sense of entitlement...just hope.....whether it was the Jamestown settlers....the Bavarian farmers....the Irish escaping the potato famine....the East Europeans fleeing communism.....and the recent Indian, Chinese, Japanese and other Asian populations looking to escape corruption and nepotism back home....
I fail to see how people these days forget this....one of my good friends acknowledges that his grandparents came as refugees fleeing strife in Europe but at the same time curses immigrants for the current woes.....and this guy is not a racist....an entire generation has been brought up to use the i-word as the substitute for the n-word since that is now politically incorrect....:mad:
Like the Klan leaders of yesterday, the Lou Dobbs of today never desist in blaming the 'immigrants' for everything....:(

Guys, This discussion has no relevance if the bills won't pass. So it is extremely important to call the specific House members. We are not trying to filibuster whatever you chose to dicuss. However, we are in crunch time and need all hands on the deck to gather support for the three bills. Please Please call the House members listed in this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19113
This is the most important thing right now. Kindly help.
Thank You!
I don't understand. The post above does not even include the bill for US masters STEM

Wow!!! if its so then its good!!!
As per new SSN statement, I have around 80K in SSN and around same equal amount of Medicare money and wondering if we can take back home SSN money, what will happen to our Medicare money?
Any News regarding Medicare money? can we take advantage of Medicare money in our country?
If you move back to India permanently, you can take you social security money with you.

I don't see what's wrong with this requirement. It's always been a requirement in PA. If someone can't produce an employment letter, it's probably because he is on the bench or unemployed and that makes him out of status. If you are out of status, you are ineligible for a driver's license.

I would say another problem is getting the H1 stamped. Ever since they got rid of getting the H1 stamped within US we have to go out of the country to get it stamped and you never know how much time it is going to take. Now due to PIMS delays some people are getting stuck for more than a month and no one can afford such long holidays .
On top of that if you are going out of the country then there are airline tickets and stamping fee etc etc which also comes in 1000's of dollars.

That's very true. Shame on us for being lazy and waiting for the right moment.
The 16th district teams needs to be more re-united. I will talk to digital2k and arrange to meet Zoe in few days.
I don't know how many of you have actually visited DC offices and spoken to Congressional Office staff in person (not just sending E-mails or letters). I have been there, and done that. And I intend to continue to do that for myself, my family and the community..
Let me tell you this, if there is anything related to immigration - whether Visa recapture or increase in numbers - it will be with CIR. There was a slim chance for piecemeal legislation in the 110th Congress. There is almost none in the current Democrat-dominated Congress. This is the political reality we have to live with.
The question I was asked by the Congressional staff repeatedly was - 'If so many thousands are impacted, why are we seeing just 4-5 coming to DC asking for help? Why aren't we hearing about from our constituents? Why is it always 'the outsiders' approaching us? Why aren't they visiting us? Why aren't they writing letters to us?'. So many questions with no answers!
Fact of the matter is our community cannot get what it wants unless we willing to pull our butts off the couch and do the dirty groundwork. Just the 50 or so of us dedicated IV leaders cannot work miracles.
We don't have any magic spells or potions in our pockets. We need your help to succeed.

Form I-140 Petition Must be Approved Prior to a Favorable Determination of a �106(c) AC21 portability request.
On October 18, 2005, USCIS designated Matter of Al Wazzan, A95 253 422 (Jan. 12, 2005) as a USCIS Adopted Decision. This AAO decision established that a petition that is deniable (i.e., not approvable), whether or not the petition is denied 180 days or more after the filing of the adjustment of status application, cannot serve as the basis for approval of adjustment of status to permanent residence under the portability provision of INA � 204(j). An un-adjudicated Form I-140 petition is not made valid merely through the act of filing the petition with USCIS or through the passage of 180 days. Rather, the petition must have been filed on behalf of an alien who was entitled to the employment-based classification at the time that the petition was filed, and therefore must be approved prior to a favorable determination of a �106(c) AC21 portability request.

reminds me of a popular hindi maxim:
"Shadi aisa laddoo hai jo khaye wo pacchataaye, jo na khaye wo bhi pacchataaye"
loosely translated in english it means
Marriage is a desert which if somebody eats it, he will repent and if somebody does not eat it, will repent too...
(thank god my 5th grade english teacher is no more in this world to see this day...he must be rolling in his grave seeing my poor english translation skills:D)
He would definitely be rolling in his grave by your spelling :D It is "dessert". Unless you are one of the mythical Egyptian gods like Anubis, you are not going to eat a "desert" :p

Funny you say that. I'm all for a honest debate and in fact mentioned cited this forum's intolerance for disagreement. We fail to realize that the EB quota is not a Indian only domain, that there are other non-Indian EB immigrants with their own viewpoints, and that unfortunately this narrow sightedness will stifle any unified efforts to fight this problem.
And I'm not beating isantem up. I was on the other hand trying to explain to him why the policy of country based quotas are naive for attracting top talent. Please read my post below.
I would have given you a green for actual substantive disagreement but seeing that you failed to comprehend what I clearly was saying, I'll give you a red. Looks like you care about them enough.
Wao, a catfight
Look inside you. Re-read what you wrote. It will become apparent how you personally attack people for saying things you don't want to hear. What's the use of arguing that the policies are "stupid" etc?
Yes, give me all the reds you want if that helps you vent your frustrations.
Your quote: "So please take your diversity argument with you and don't let the door hit you on your way out" says it all.
Objectivity.
