I don't think it will make a huge amount of difference. The visa loss is due to lack of manpower in processing applications. Now there will be even more applications and presumably no extra hands to approve them.

although this doesn't fit 100% to your case. You may want to look at the attached administrative appeals office decision.
Essentially, a person was denied in eb2 because they had a 3 yr bsc and 2 year masters. they had education evaluationstating that masters indian degree was equal to us masters degree.
nebraska service center stated that 3+2 is not equal to masters degree. Admininstrative appeals office decision approved it saying that it didn't matter how long the combined study was. As long as foreign masters equals us masters then that is all which needs to be proven.
My experience has been that texas service center sends an rfe for this 3+2 education. I know of 8 cases where thie decision was shown in the rfe and they all 8 got approved. I know of one case in nebraska where this case was shown and they still denied it stating that it wasn't a precedent decision (person already had another 140 denied and there was some history in his case which i believe caused nebraska to deny it). Odd part was that the appeals office decision was from nebraska service center

We have 2 pages of posts, but just 150.00.
Sanju is right when he says, we are High-tech educated illiterates.
You have 15 posts. First you were crying for EAD, then GULTI, now all this.
And you think this is the way for convincing law makers on our contributions to American society? Is it because of your bad language, the law makers should give your spouse, EAD?

A question to the people who used AC21 and on EAD:
I am on EAD and changed job (six months after the I-485 is submitted). The new employer - a well know tech company - insisted on sending the AC21 letter to USCIS, and I sent it. After sending the letters there were LUD's on I485 applications for me and wife and I assumed the letter reached the files. There was no activity after wards. Recently my wife went out of country and while coming back she went thru the AP parol process. The immigration officer asked her a few questions, one of them is where I am working. She mentioned my current company which made the officer to have a question mark on his face (the file he is looking at has my previous employer name). We were expecting this to happen and my wife quickly explained to him that my application was sponsored by so-and-so company (my previous employer) but later I changed jobs as per AC21. She even had a copy of AC21 rules with her. There was no problem but she was kept in waiting for another 30+ minutes until the immigration officer talked to 2 other officers. She got the impression that most of immigration people there are not really aware of AC21 and this made us think this could be a potential issue for those who used AC21.
Did anyone had any issues like this. We were lucky not having too much of a hassle but was thinking on how to handle these port of entry interviews if someone used AC21.
Thanks to IV for taking this up.

Larry King will cover us if his CNN buddy Lou Dobbs lets him !
I have watched it a couple of time, though not a regular. No chance of getting there unless you are celeb fresh out of rehab and/or facing midlife crisis, divorce etc., or a US political bigwig.
We are none of the above.
Looks like we need to catch hold �Larry King�. If we can project our Green Card issue through 'Larry King', then it would easily catch US National attention.
Can some one throw ideas on this please?.

i'll break my word for one last piece of advice for my sensistive friend:
"The very reason why we join this forum so that we can, as whole, say something that may influence the law makers of this country to change the existing laws so that our problem with GC will be resolve."
no lawmaker is bothering to read this silly thread. Please stop dreaming. if you want to influence, go meet them! that remain's iv's official word on the matter too...see the meet the lawmaker campaign. and if you already have...you have my respect, you are too good in that case to waste your time complaining about this stuff.
Probably, that's the reason why most lawmaker ignore us because of these comments. For them, we are aliens. We are not their contituents. And I think these country centric comments makes it worse.

I agree with you that this is not big enough to stop the entire crisis. But look at the cities where there are lot of immigrants. I can give you one example where it could make huge impact.
Seattle (King County) home of Microsoft has a housing inventory of 8600 single family homes around 1200 condos. It takes 10 months to clear up the inventory.
Microsoft applied around 2K new H1B last year. So my guess is it might have applied around 8k in last 4 years. Lets assume 60% of those didn't GC's. So around 5k people waiting in the line. Lets say out of which 4K didn't buy a house and are willing to buy a house. So 4K new buyers in a market which has 10K units. If every one buys house in next few months then the months of supply will become 6.
There lot of other companies located in this area which also apply for H1Bs.
So the point is immigrants can save or make big enough impact some housing markets.
Revival of housing market revives the economy. May be we should identify those markets and talk to those senators.
Well the Government might be moderately interested but I doubt Microsoft's executives will be .. they will simply push more jobs to Hydrebad instead of Seattle.

I would again suggest to go for paid Forum for everyone. Treat desi's like desi's.
Free means one gets all kinds of public answers hindering IV's efforts.
Dont mean to start the same conversation again, but Pappu - do give it a thought.
Thanks.
I think the current model( Free access to all, except donor forum) is fine. If the whole IV site is paid one, many people like me would not give a thought to spend a min in this site. I came here as a guest, started reading the forum posts. Later realized some threads like 485-Filing and EB2-EB3 predictions require membership. Once I find the membership is free, I registered as a member. After couple of months, I realized what IV could do with my contributions and then I became a donor. So we need free access to bring new members to the forum and to show how they can help IV to help themselves.

Yes. a law will be good.
yes now go do some research about how a proposal becomes a law! Signing a petition doesn't go anywhere, its just one of the many steps to influence the lawmakers.
On your other post, your comments are the stupidest ever! So please research before saying other peoples comments stupid :P

bheemi,
I am shocked at your statement after seeing such an organized effort from IV. The only conclusion that I could make is - you are sympathetic to the 'anti-immigrant sentiments' and are out here to create trouble.
Anyways, instead of criticizing someone, please let us know what you have done for the cause.
All,
These are highly stressful times and I am sure people did not mean to create trouble when they wrote such message but rather they were merely venting their frustrations.
We just need to make sure that we're able to convert this energy into some that is positive and useful. Again no offense meant to anyone and no offense taken.

Same to you. Do you have any update on your case or do you know the status of your case?
No movement.... No FP notice (not sure if it is good or bad).. Is there anyone who got GC recently without a second FP notice (After 15 months)....??
in short, No clue :(

Guys please don't waste your time in dreaming for OCI, unless one of the parents has non Indian citizenship. PIO is the only option if both parents have Indian passport (citizenship).
PIO typically takes 30 days, so be hurry and apply if you are thinking to apply, its very essential thing for us to have after baby's birth.

good point. let's start doing it then...
just my opinion..but festive occasions bind us as a community and yes that includes Eid and Christmas and the Chinese new year.
Diwali celebrates the victory of good over evil, let's hope we can all bask soon in a festival of lights by getting some relief from retrogression....
actually...and this is just me nitpicking now...Diwali is technically a Hindu festival not an Indian festival (since 20% of Indians are not Hindu), so the complaint may be more accurate if you point to the religious aspect...
Of course it is widely celebrated in India...and the UK and going by the White house greetings and the huge melas ...in the US :-)
"Happy Diwali" to anybody on this forum who accepts the Hindu faith.
I don't think wishing Happy Diwali to fellows of a common faith qualifies as hate mongering; same as a Muslim wishing a fellow Muslim "Eid Mubarak" or a Christian wishing a fellow Chrisitian "Merry Christmas" does not qualify as hate mongering.
All said and done this is an open forum where potential immigrants to this country (where there is a long history of separation of state and religion) are free to express their opinion.
USA has certainly benefited from having different cultures live together side by side (within the realm of a common civil and criminal law). Suppression of cultures is more in tune with the ertswhile Soviet policy of suppression of various cultures (Georgian, Ukrainian, the list goes on); and we all know what happpened to Soviet Russia.
There is no reason potential legal immigrants of different faith should not open a new thread to wish people of fellow faith on commonly celebrated festivals. There is no great reason to pursue political correct speak to the degree where you would have to create a common greeting message if we want to wish "Happy Diwali" to fellow Hindus.
People of different faiths certainly have the freedom to post a similar message. After all the pool of potential legal immigrants is far and wide.
And I would certainly be happy for fellow Chinese, Muslims, Chrisitians, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Native Americans, Mexicans, Portuegese, Spanish, Greeks, Albanians, Croats, Serbs, Basque, Irish, SriLankan, Bangladeshis, Eritreans, Ethiopians, Somalis, Germans, French, Bralizians, Colombian, Ecuadarean, Argentinians, Chilean, Haitians, West Indians (the list is incomplete mind you) when somebody from their community puts up a message wishing their fellows the arrival of a happy community event.
The voice of these communities is the "Voice" of "Immigration". It would be foolhardy to try to suppress this voice in favor of political correct speak.
We are all working toward the same goal (pursuit of happiness); denial of one's culture and simple traditions is not in tune with this pursuit.
Just my 2 cents.
Regards.
