07/10/2007: Response of USCIS Director to Visa Bulletin Fiasco Related Flower Campaign
* We reported yesterday that foreign professionals have been sending flowers to the heads of involved agencies with a message of protest for the ongoing visa bulletin fiasco. Dr. Emilio Gonzalez responded to such flower campaign in the USCIS site. The flower campaign appears to be a gesture from the community of foreign professionals to thaw out the tension created by the fiasco and at the same time calling the agency leaders' swift attention to the problem and sufferings of the foreign professionals and their family members. This camapaign has been initiated and pushed ahead by the immigrationinvoice.com group. Salute to the members of this group for the job well done.
The media is picking it up, apart from lawyers and blogs.

Looks like a few people at USCIS know that some kind of masters degree from india with a 3 years bachelors unrelated to ones profession cannot be used in place of US masters. Did not realize that USCIS has some people who know the rules and play by them. If all USCIS people who approve these cases know about this and if lawyers stop justifying that correspondence masters degree is equivalent of US masters, bogus initial eb2 applications as well as porting could be stopped.
Looks like policiticans are doing some work here.
First the degree should be related.
See the rules here --- http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=2704080912&m=7651047741&r=2351039351#2351039351
USCIS knows the rules better than you and they DO apply the rules correctly. If you know of a case where there is a violation you are free to complaint to CIS rather than ranting in a public forum.
A correspondence Masters from an ACCREDITED university is legit. As I said earlier, if a degree from a Accredited University is invalid than your degree is also invalid. There are tonns of legit US universities offering Online courses --- some examples are University of South Dakota, University of Massachusetts, Northeastern University etc.
I challenge you --- say in a public forum that degree earned through online courses from these universities are bogus . I will make sure to forward that link to these universities and you can spend more time defending a defamation law suit than anything else.

Same scenario in our case. I got my EAD very soon but my wife didn't. We called USCIS and got the stupid response "Wait for 60 days". That 60 days was after we had already waited for 90 days.
We took the infopass appointment and found out that post-mail containing my wife' EAD was returned by post office (USPS). They said they would send again in 10 days.
The reason I found that in our apartment mail box, only my name was written. So after the infopass appointment I wrote my wife's name too. We got it within 10 days.
I think that happened because the USCIS envelop has wordings : "return services requested..."
And I think the main reason is my and my wife last name are different.

Lets not hope for results just act. If Gandhi could drive Britishers out of India using this approach, USCIS is also made of human people and sure they will do something to lessen our pains.
The British were a bit smarter;). Here we have problems explaining to the average American (which include the officials of our Senators and Congressmen), the difference between h1B and Green card. Everytime I send a fax to the Senator regarding the Green Card, i get a reply about how they do or do not support H1Bs.
In this whole flower sending campaign, we want the message to be LOUD AND CLEAR. Gandhigiri alone did not drive the British out of India and even if it did, let us not forget in that case the British were on Indian soil, here we are doing Gandhigiri in another country ON THEIR SOIL!!

Can some of experienced guyes answer my question about the DISABILITY INSURANCE.
Some of you guys looks like confusing DISABILITY RIDER in the TERM/WHOLE policy with DISABILITY INSURANCE.
DISABILITY INSURNACE will pay for (in Most case 60% of the last salary) if you become PERMANENTLY DISABLED and can not work up to the age of 62 or 65. After that SS will pay for you.
DISABILITY RIDER that you have with extra cost in the LIFE INSURANCE policy cancel payment requirement of your Life Insurance policy. So If you become Disabled You WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY PREMIUM for your TERM/WHOLE Life policy and still it will be effective.
Because of my one of the diseases I am always worried about DISABILITY insurance.
I always try to get Short term and Long Term disability insurances through employer.
But the problem is they always start with long preexisting exlusions and when you change jobs they dont continue so have to start new one which also has other new preexisting exlusions to start.
You can convert your longterm disability to the personal policy if you have that for long time. but they are not valid if you get new job.
Is there any private/personal (not employer sponsored) Short and long term DISABILITY Insurance policies that we can purchase out side of the job.? How are the premiums? Are they reliable?
also do any of you know case where LIFE INSURANCE was actually paid and how easy/hard the process was for family?
Also similar experiences if some one know if any one used DISABILITY INSURANCE and how hard it was?

Try to respect others and feel sorry about their situation.
I feel sorry for the people who live in slums of dharavi but not for people who should not have been in the US in the first place (based on their education) and are now finding ways to get ahead of the legit EB2 candidates by buying masters degrees.

It shows that the interpretation of law is not same everywhere.
some people get it easily and some dont. Bridgeport, CT DMV is very crowded most of the time and tough to get things done. There are a lot of people of a kind that come there and it is tough. you must try Westport etc kind of areas next time.
yes, there was so much difference between Bridgeport and Hamden. Eventually I got it for 5 years though I had just 1 year extension on my H1b. I am now in NYC and have to get NY license and just to play it safe , am planning to get the license when I get my h1b 3 year extension which will be applied sometime beginning next year.

Hi,
Here is my situation. I can apply for I-485 since my labor(PD - Mar 05) has cleared and I-140 has been filed.
But, I have a fiancee and we are getting married in September 2007. She is on H1-B but currently traveling in India.
We cannot get married before September 2007, so, as far as I understand, I cannot add her into my AOS filing right now. And, as far as I understand they are gonna retrogress the dates to oblivion after August 17, 2007.
1. So, my question is, would she have to wait until my priority date become current again before she can add herself into my AOS application?
2. Let's say the answer for question 1 is YES. What happens if due to whatever reason, my I-140 gets approved BEFORE my priority date becomes current, so, in that scenario I wouldn't have been able to apply for her AOS anyway? Then, what are our options?
3. Let's say the answer for question 1 is NO. Then, is there a special processing I need to do to add her since my priority dates will not be current anytime soon because of the retrogression?
Please remember, she DOES carry H1-B on her own.
Thank you,
gc101.

Unfortunately, I can't leave the US for the following reasons
a) AOS pending
b) H1 expiring soon
c) Won't get any vacation time as just joined a new job.
As a time gap arrangement see if you can get your license from your home country.
Worst case if asked by a cop atleast you will have that.

did not mean to discourage, just be prepared because after the 140 is rejected, you have to start all over again and you lose time in the process. BTW, ask any lawyer, and you will hear the same about Nebraska.
also if you have an MS and are eb-3, by all means transfer to EB-2 with a high rate of success --- again accding to my lawyer.
Can you elobrate on start all over again . Does this mean for that priority date of EB3 is lost. ? :confused:

Guys
Don't worry about this bill being rejected. I am pretty sure one way or the other they need to increase the EB visa number soon, else definetely USCIS will be in big trouble with thousands of applications sitting there for them, now having said that USCIS will find a way to get some bill which will have EB visa count increased passed in congress, so untill then cheer up and complete your filing.:) :) :)
Do you mean just wait and hope for better....just wondering...
I dont understand Hillary
She recently announced in her campaign that she will increase the H1B visas
She also made a statement that she will try for more benefits for permanent residents.
She does not want to support only the people who are in the process of immigration???
Whats up with that.
May be she is afraid of Lou Dobbs...Recently he has been criticizing her for her Indian ties
or may be she is pro Rich Indian Americans ... this might sound ridiculous but her voting ney is crazy
They always comment about us stealing the middle class jobs...tell me one case where they don't prefer US citizen over immigrant.
I have been interviewing for couple of companies ...the first question they ask is ...Are you US citizen 2nd question r u Permanent resident ..no..
Then we are sorry.
Companies do not prefer US citizens over Immigrants...I don't know where this misconception comes in to play...
There was a guy in our office who used to complain about Chineese and Indians stealing jobs...Believe he is a big slacker ..he recently got fired...people like him form these programmers guilds.
We do not work for less and we are not paid less...may be they deduct our Gc expenses but not much
Why is there a misconception about us?
Lets get this thought out of these bone heads
We are not middle class job stealers...We are the building blocks of a strong middle class

Most of the time, consultant works at a lower rate because he doesn’t know what is being paid to the vendor. If you know what is being paid to the primary/preferred vendor, and the difference is high, you just pick the phone and have a straight talk. Preferred vendors negotiate. You can squeeze them pretty hard. I had done to $5 margin in the past.
No vendor wants someone to leave a job, tell the client that he is not being paid well because the vendors are keeping a lot of money.
Preferred vendors are now occasionally working on small margins (believe me $10 is VERY good for them, if another middle layer is finding the candidate for them). They take high margin when they when you go by salary and if they think they can find cheaper guys easily.
On the other hand, there are middle layers, who are suckers and will try to keep the high margin. But you can deal very assertively with these middle layers because these are small cos. Never sign non compete with them. You can even chnage them and in fact your final preferred vendors can sometimes do that with you.
with vednros, go hourly instead of salary. I don’t think there is risk, because if you do not have the job at client, you will be fired any way.
With Desi cos holding your H1, I think margin is not the issue. Just have a hourly rate negotiation (no salary negotiation) because in future you can command more rate. If you have EAD, desi co will be willing to work on very small margin because they know you are an unchained tiger now and can run anywhere.
There is a cut for managers, but is not that cut and dry....generally in kind than in cash. Managers favor their favored vendors, but if you are a useful person in team, he will not come in a way. In fact, you can try to use his relationship with the vendor to your advantage. Relationship mgmt is the name of the game (not just plain performance).
If you are billed $180 and paid $85k, here is the strategy:
If I was you, I will set up a conference call with my manager and vendor rep, and tell both that I might leave because vendor is keeping a lions share. Believe me, no vendor and manager would like to have this dialogue in open and your vendor will increase your rate by calling you in advance.
