This whole spelling bee thing is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. By any standards, it is pure and simple torture to subject the kids to memorizing thousands of words and their stupid spellings. And what use is that? Have they never heard of something called SPELL-CHECK in Microsoft Word and other email services ?
Or are they afraid that their kid will go to a job interview and someone might ask them to spell the word that no one on the planet ever uses and is only present in the Oxford Dictionary.
Those who subject their kids to such a regimented, rigorous, scripted childhood are preparing a next generation of work-force that would only know how to follow the orders and accept directions.
85 % of the fortune 500 CEOs are not MBAs. And the other 15% that have an MBA, only 3 of the 15 have done MBA from an IVY LEAGUE school.
What that tells you is that too much education and scholarly childhood increases your job security, in that sense that you will never be unemployed, but it decreases the chances that you will be on the top or you will be a billionaire.
The biggest prize goes NOT TO people who can follow directions and know everything, but who can GIVE directions and get things done.
It's like saying if I owned only one company's stock then I could be the richest person in world. Why do people diversify among stocks and then bonds? The moment you diversify you lose your chance to become the richest person in world.
A higher education betters your risk assessment. Your statistics may be correct but what your numbers don't say is the opposite side of coin? What is the percentage of people who don't have high school degree and earn less than $100,000 at the age of 35? Now what is that percentage for MBAs? What is the percentage of people who don't have at least a bachelors degree and are better than Project Manager by age of 35? Now what is that percentage for those who have at least a bachelors? The reason Sachin Tendulkar cannot hit fastest century but can score many centuries is because he is properly trained. He can assess risk better than Shahid Afridi can. Even though Shahid Afridi once had fastest century he was nowhere close to Sachin. Finally, a look at GM and Ford history from 1920 to 1940reveals the reason behind a need for a better risk assessment.
I don't see why everyone should strive to be the richest person or C-person in the world. Everyone has different value system. Some may like 9 to 5 job because they can enjoy other things in life... like lying down on beach, watching your child take first few steps, etc. Some moments never return in one's life.
I work with different Managing Directors, they earn a decent $250+ salaries but none of them even want to become CEO or for that matter any C-titled manager. I know one MD, in early 50s, who passed the C job because he wanted to go fishing with his 4 sons at his vacation home in New England... At that time he told me, "Once these bastards leave me I guess I will cherish spending time with them fishing at my vacation home more than counting big dollars in my bank account".

Why not? Although I have applied for GC, I have no desire to take US citizenship, just to let you know. The majority does not mean the whole world and also does not mean everyone. There are Indian citizens that love India. Parents should be able to make decisions for their kids until they are 18. The kid can take US citizenship when he is 18 if parents have opted for Indian citizenship.
On a different angle, I would like to take US citizenship and I am actually waiting for it. Again, event this doesn't mean that I want to live here forever :D. I just want the convenience of coming here and working here as long as I want to, then pack the bag and go back to India to enjoy rest of of my life... I don't see that part of the life here.. :D

Mr. GC_Rip,
Your are definitely a EB2 worth candidate. A company willing to support you and a good attorney is all you want. There are plenty who have qualified for EB2 with these qualifications.
Instead of MS, look for a good consultancy or a perm job which will do the trick for you. I do know/understand that it is hard to get consulting jobs and maintaining visa's for family members but look at the bright side, labor nowadays takes only about 3 weeks and 140 if you apply through PP, then you are talking 2 weeks again. You have a possibility to get out of this mess.
If kids from college gets into EB2 and gets GC in two years, You sure do sir...
OK now to members who think I am wrong can bash me but this is what I believe in, if a system can tie you down with stupid rules and no accountability on its workers, I am ok with a deserving candidate cutting the line ahead and getting his GC. Hail common sense.

All the way one keeps thinking that you are free to start a business, look for more exciting opportunities, go work in starbacuks...( yeah all that )...once you get a GC..
But, now everyone is talking about again sticking to the sponsoring employer, a green card being revoked while entry...and umpteen scenarios...
So, where does it end..when can one really feel you can flex yourself and do something without worrying about my employment history...

While I Wrote The Check For Ead Renewal
I Wrote It To Department Of Homeland Security And Not
Us Deparment Of Homeland Security
Is It A Big Problem
USCIS people are too loaded with work to start rejecting applications for such trivial matters.
The instructions say this "NOTE: Please spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS.""
You have written the most important words, atleast u did not abbreviate!
Also remember there is NO OTHER "department of homeland security" in the world. Check has gone to USCIS office. They know u mean US, even if u did not write it.
So I am confident that their banks will cash your check. Keep a watch on your bank online. Texas cashed our checks in 7 days and also sent receipt. Dont know how Nebraska is doing. Call USCIS in 1-2 weeks if they did not cash checks.
Worst case they will send the application back. You can then quickly fix the check and resend application. Hopefully if you have applied in time, then a delay of 1-2 weeks does not matter.

Efiled @ TSC on may 29th.
FP on june 28th, still no approval.
My current EAD expires September 24th and i am working on EAD currently.
Called USCIS and opened a SR on August 4th. Got a letter on August 11th, saying, although my situation is serious, i have not provided enough proof. Called USCIS August 13th, asking where i can mail the proof. Was told there is no mailing address and no fax number.
Scheduled an Infoapss Appt. for August 18th, by then it will be around 82 days.
Around the 90th day planning to meet my Congressman/Senator and hoping they could help me.
If some one can help me in finding fax number to TSC to send in my Expedite request it will be great.
GO IV GO.
My case exactly like yours. Mine expires on Sep 24 th. E-filed on may 28th. FP'ed on June 23rd. Concurrently filed APs got approved long back.
I think Info Pass is the best solution for this. You have only a few days for that. So hang on.
I am planning to take info pass too. But to ask for expedite request, I think 90 days should have passed since application sent.

This is the article my wife wrote for her class assignment. thought to share..
Spouses and Dependents of Legal US Immigrants Should Be Granted Work Visas
America is known to be the land of immigrants. Immigrants have been a part of American history. There is a lot of debate going on these days on the issue of illegal immigration in various social and political circles. But we also have a fairly large number of legal entrants in America who are officially documented residents. Spouses and dependents of many of these legal U.S. residents are not granted work visas, inherently. Instead they are issued H4 or dependent visas. H4 visa type allows dependents to stay in United States as long as their spouses are legally employed in any organization within the U.S., but they cannot obtain jobs as per the current labor laws. This is a sheer waste of talent for many who migrate to the land of opportunities with a desire to live the American dream. Not granting work permits to the spouses of H1-B work visa holders, makes them feel financially dependent and estranged. Many of these immigrant spouses are highly-qualified professionals with marketable skills but cannot obtain a job, by law, despite being in U.S. legally. By all fairness, dependent spouses should be granted work authorization for the sake of their social, economic and emotional well-being.
According to the U.S Department of state, �The Immigration and Nationality Act provide several categories of nonimmigrant visas for a person who wishes to work temporarily in the United States. Some of these categories include H1-B (person in a specialty occupation), H2-A (temporary or seasonal agricultural workers), L (intra-company transferees), F-1 (students with demonstrated intent to return to home country upon completion of undertaken program) and Q-1 (participants in an international cultural exchange program) visas. With the exception of "Q-1 Cultural Exchange Visitors," a person who has received a visa as the spouse or child of a temporary worker may not accept employment, in the United States� ("Temporary Workers"). Dependents of non immigrant visa holders on H-4, F-2(spouses of student visa holders), and TD (spouses of citizens of Canada and Mexico), visas are directly affected by this law. According to a survey by NADISA (Network of Advocates of Dependent Spouses of America), �Most of these dependent spouses are immigrant women who do not have a penny to their name except by the grace of their husbands. These are some highly educated, well-experienced, motivated young women who are ready to support themselves, but cannot, by law, get a job despite being in the U.S. legally� (Shah).
The inability to work in the U.S. on H-4 visa status creates a handicap for career minded women. It puts them at a disadvantage of losing several years of professional work experience. Mehreen Arshad, a graduate in commerce from Bangalore, India and an MBA degree holder from a top U.S. business school is one of the victims of this highly unfair labor law. She is on H-4 visa status for the past 8 years. She says, �This never-ending wait for getting work authorization has ruined my entire career. We are in process of getting Green Card (permanent residency status and work permit) for the past 8 years. Despite having an MBA from a U.S business school, I have been denied jobs several times because of my H4 status. Employers tend to prefer Green Card holders over dependent visa holders. Many organizations clearly state in their job ads that only citizens or green card holders can apply. This truly is a waste of talented workforce and expresses social inequality and discrimination towards legal immigrants.�
With the rising costs of living, education and healthcare in America, not allowing the spouses of immigrants to work is practically like incapacitating them. Every member of the family needs to contribute to sustain financial stability. In a family where one person works and the rest are dependent on one source of income, it sometimes gets hard to make both the ends meet. Dependents of immigrant workers should be granted work visas or they atleast should be allowed to do temporary or seasonal jobs so that they can contribute towards family income to improve the standard of living.
Dependent spouses often get the feeling of being financially controlled by their husbands. Since they are not the providers or bread winners for the family, dependent spouses are often kept out of the decision making process. They cannot make important decisions in life like buying property, starting a family or business because of the financial instability.
In addition to the social and economic setbacks, spouses on H-4 often get the feeling of being alienated. Without work authorization, spouses feel that they are trapped in households and domestic life. Without getting a chance to work and ever being exposed to the local community, it becomes difficult for spouses to understand American culture and fit in well.
Apart from obtaining work permits, dependent spouses are also not issued social security numbers and in many states they cannot even get a driver�s license. Due to all these restrictions, a lot of women on dependent spouse visa status become victims of abuse and domestic violence. �Without the ability to earn money independently from their abuser, battered dependent spouses are not financially secure to protest the abuse, leave the marriage if necessary, or even buy a ticket to return to their home country. Batterers use their financial control to keep victims submissive and often prevent them from staying in status or converting to another status. Without work authorization and the ability to determine their own futures once legally in our borders, many become vulnerable to domestic violence. Once victims, battered dependent spouses find they have no more protections than undocumented immigrants� (Shah).
�In 2002, President Bush signed into law a bill which allows dependent spouses of L (intra-company transferees) and E-3 (citizens of Australia) work visa holders to obtain work authorization. No legislative reason is given for not extending this basic right to H-4 visa holders� (Shah). The current law prohibiting spouses to work on H4 status does not make sense to many because L and E work visas are exactly the same in nature as H-1B work visa, so it is hard to understand why spouses of H1-B work visa holders are still being restrained from obtaining jobs in United States?
Anti-immigrants argue that there is a need to protect the U.S. labor market, so dependents of legal immigrants should not be allowed to work. But in case there is a demonstrated shortage of labor in any particular field of work and an individual meets the eligibility criteria, why should he or she be denied a job on the basis of visa status? There is a demonstrated shortage of workforce in professions like Teaching and Nursing in America. �In May 2005, the National Commission on Nursing Workforce for Long-Term Care released Act Now for Your Tomorrow report which found that there are nearly 100,000 vacant nursing positions in long-term care facilities on any given day�( Rosseter). According to National Education Association, �Not only are America's schools experiencing a shortage of teachers, the growth of ethnic and minority student enrollment is creating a critical need for minority teachers to provide positive role models for the students�("Great Teachers"). With the established need of workforce in teaching and nursing areas, dependent spouses meeting the eligibility criteria can be effectively employed in these professions.
There is also a demonstrated shortage of skilled workers in Engineering and I.T related fields. Few days back Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft Corporation commented that there�s an insufficient amount of skilled people in the U.S. labor pool. "Gates argued that, "If the demand is there, why have the regulation at all?" In a statement, Mr. Gates was quoted as saying, "Anybody who's got good computer science training, they are not out there unemployed. We're just not seeing an available labor pool." He further added, "The whole idea of the H1B visa thing is, don't let too many smart people into the country". (Murthy) One way to get around this shortage of skilled workers could be granting work permits to the highly skilled I.T professionals who are already in the U.S. as the spouses of H-1B visa holders.
In view of the above arguments it is imperative that these highly skilled legal immigrant spouses should be granted the right to work for their socio-economic welfare. Work authorization will not only provide financial independence to these women but will also give them the right to determine their own future in case they are trapped in abusive relationships. Also, these immigrant spouses can be prove to be incredibly resourceful in areas of work where there is already shortage of labor. This would indeed be a multifaceted beneficial pursuit, as not only it would support needs of the dependent spouses in terms of their financial well-being but at the end of the day, it is the national interest and economy enjoying the boost from further skilled input.

r u IV Policeman? Can I see your badge?
Dear snehaledu, You raise a good point. Am I IV policeman? The answer is NO. Guess, it is the responsibility of all the members to police themselves. And I saw that it was not happening here, thus my question about the relevance of this thread.
I understood that IV is working on behalf of green card backlog applicants and the intended purpose of IV forums is to provide support for legislative effort. Please help me understand how this thread about $1 is Rs. 44 or whether $1 is Rs. 46, helping in achieving IV goals? I am just scratching my head in an attempt to figure that out. There are many other forums on the internet where you could discuss anything under the sun. There are many other forums where you could discuss everything about exchange rate variations. Why don�t you go and discuss it over in those forums?
Also, we all should be considerate towards all other members of IV. It was my understanding that IV membership includes people from all over the world. It may be true that majority of IV members are from India. Should we as Indians show a bit of maturity and consideration towards members from other countries? Is that too much to ask? Say, if you come to these forums and for 2-3 days consecutively you see a discussion about conversion rate of Pakistani Rs. to $, how would you feel about it as that discussion will not be relevant for you? Intelligent people understand the signs and fools don�t understand even if someone shouts in front of them. I guess there is no country in the world where its entire population is either all fools or all intelligent. The real question is which category do you belong? You don�t have to answer that question; your behavior will speak for you.

Intelligent people understand the signs and fools don�t understand even if someone shouts in front of them. I guess there is no country in the world where its entire population is either all fools or all intelligent. The real question is which category do you belong? You don�t have to answer that question; your behavior will speak for you.

Which service center processed your I-140 ? For Eb2 cases, USCIS ( especially NSC) doesn't accept a combination of degree and experience. They require a single 4 year degree.
You should not completely give up on this. Get a good lawyer, a good education evaluator and try to save the case.
I140 was approved by NSC

Maybe you should request to send an e-mail on place. This is what we did.
Send email to who ? Can you pls describe in detail what email they need to send and what reason they need to put in. My local office always says NSC is processing July cases so you should have it soon, but that "soon" has never happened. It is 160+ days since I applied.

I have applied for FOIA during Oct 2007. No response yet. Just checked the status. Thank you very much for the link. I did not know it existed earlier. Do you happen to know how I can change the address because I have moved ? I called the number they listed for FOIA on reciept notice. The asked me to call the regular USCIS number to update the address. The person who answered the regular USCIS customer service had no Idea about reciept notices starting with NRC. Any solution for this?

You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf ears. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.
For those who think assisting US economy by buy houses (for pending GC applicants) is like selling a GC are just plain dumb! No wonder why we dont have a resolution to the 10 yr waiting that's been killing EB immigrants, is because ppl like you, who love to take pain want others to live through this for the lifetime.
People have been waiting for 10+ years here waiting to get GC, waiting patiently, waiting so patiently that we are getting mentally sick waiting and waiting. How do u think the quota system is ..its not fair in the first place for EB immigrants when we are already here on H/L visas... . So dude pls stop ur bull shit and dont discourage by coming up with ridiculous statements "You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship?"
We the prospective, EB immigrants want to settle here. Its more than a home here already if you are living and paying taxes for 10+ years.. We just want to buy a house and a permanent visa status is only going to help. Its a win-win situation for both sides....
We are not looking them to sell GC for houses to ppl who are residing outside. This is a relief mechanism for ppl who are waiting and waiting and just plain waiting here in the EB queue!
Ok.. now go and think..do u enjoy pain or want to do anything about it!
I would strongly urge IV to take this and would be willing help and have a dialogue with any state/congress representative they want me to.... How do u think it wont' fly. US govt is spending and bailing out trillions of dollars to help cure this cause. If we buy houses, it is only going to help the cause. Most of us have good credit score and can afford to buy houses, this will only help the very thing that the govt. is trying to stabilize.
I'm surprised, how come IV is not aggressively pursuing this. What better way to help everyone here. If they want to address the fundamental issues they certainly can, but this the immediate focus and like quota recapture, will provide immediate relief to decades long wait for applicants!
So pls stop disparaging the effort. Its a good cause for both sides.
We want to be a permanent resident and contribute to US economy. So help us god!

You are right. Things aren't moving fast enough because there is a general lack of participation from the otherwise intelligent EB immigrant community.
Even if 20%-30% were really proactive in supporting IV, things would have moved much faster.
We need to develop really intelligent strategies considering all the factors. Just throwing out ideas and organizing rallys may not be enough (although needed).
There are a lot of intelligent people on this forum. I think we need to work on our unity, commitment and implementing of strategies.
IV is already doing lot of these but does not seem to be working fast and effective enough.

Visa recapture cannot happen with an administrative fix. Anyone who is telling you that visa recapture can happen by some admin fix or through a lawsuit is simply lying, possibly just to grab your attention. We have been repeatedly told by the administration that recapture cannot happen by an executive order.
A few days back a group of disorganized folks were writing to USCIS Director asking him to recapture. That is just a waste of time because CIS director cannot do recapture. Even Presidential executive order cannot recapture unused visas. It has to be done legislative because recapture will require change in the law.
We do not mean to dampen your enthusiasm but please do not expect for something that cannot happen. Recapture cannot happen with an administrative fix. In this admin fix initiative we are working on other possible good provisions that are possible.
I am not sure about this but one thng can certainly happen with Admin Fix.
Porting of applicant who have stayed long enough in (EB3 to EB2). EB3 15 years experience and still counting and stuck and uncertain porting rules and AC21 doesn't make sense at all.
Or
AC21 rules or some other fix giving relief to people stuck in GC unnecessarily.
USCIs can make these fixes but they dont want to do it. Its simple

Why should ROW always move forward?:D You think just because your numbers are small, we live for free in the US of A.
I don't think you're following it too closely.. every year it creeps up a few early 2005 months, becomes unavailable the last quarter then in October jumps back to late 2003
completely unexplainable monkey business !!

If you were not told the correct bill rate, you can recover that money. Simply ask them in writing to show you the contract since you are on 70/30 basis. The written contracts, oral contracts, emails all stand in the court but how will you prove an oral contract? If you have found an offer that meets your expectations just quit. We all make the same mistakes. We spend our time on working out things where they are not working. Just "quietly" without your employer getting a hint, find a job and quit.
Bill rate? 70/30 basis?? Contract??? I would like the OP to report his employer to DoL. DoL and USCIS will kick both the OP and the employer. It is easy to get carried away saying that the employer is blood sucker etc. But very clearly, you should know that there can't be these kinds of contracts on H1. The employer knows that people who go to them are on thin ice, and so does the employee (employer is there to do business -- he is not running charity).
Maybe you guys want OP to go to DoL so that both the employer and OP get kicked out of this country (that is good for all of us) due to obvious immigration fraud.
To top it, OP goes on an offensive when people point of the bitter truth to him. This site should not promote illegal behavior, anybody seeking advise on these topics should be severely castigated, because they broke the law too (and they know it, just dont want to admit it). Or maybe we should encourage these people to report to DoL so that all of them can be punished for misusing the laws.

For someone from India EB3, this warning is useless. Dates have not progressed for 6 months...
April 2001 to October 2006.....lets see... the wait is 4.5 years. Even Mexico which send several magnnitudes more immigrants to the US has now moved to May 2001.

One interesting point that came out of that recent hearing.
PD movement results in both 485 approvals + new 485 filings. CIS blames backlogs partly due to the policy that allows 485 filing whenever PDs are current. if PD movement results in 5 approvals, it also results in 10 new 485 filings and thus a backlog is built over which they have no control.
So in their opinion, PD movement should only control approvals & 485 filings should be controlled separately. If this happens, there would no backlogs and no one will ask them any questions or drag them to court for hearings!
I agree with you!!:)..
Question is when this can happen..a big Q to uscis..Obviously we know they dont respond it for such proper processing and fair justice..
