US employment based immigration system is merit based, not need based. The EB system is to keep US industry more competitive. if you were a hiring manager, you would give a Pakistani more preference than an Indian, just because Pakistan has less infrastructure than India?
1)
For sure legal alternatives wont help. the country cap is to ensure equal opportunity for smaller countries which dont have enough infrastructure as large countries such as India/china. We cannot expect the country cap to be removed.

You have still not answered my question - where did you get the idea that I am here self imposing high standards? You have talked about everything else but that. So you have decided to take refuge by not answering the main reason why I said you are making accusations.
And just to prove that you are not off the mark, you are confusing everyone else who is reading the posts, between being on the right side morally and having a high standard in general! Again, get this into your head before you start typing more nonsense.
I totally get that people like you need to feel like everyone is more or equally corrupt than themselves, and that you try very hard to push down someone's throat that they are also as flawed as you are. Its ok, I understand! You're in that state of mind right now, that's why you're after me for 3-4 posts arleady asking me to accept that I'm not morally sincere!
Its time you go back to being in an artificially blissful state of mind thinking that you have proven everyone on this planet who dare speak of ethics and moral to be somehow riding on a high horse.
I know people like you, they are a dime a dozen! I do not have to pander to your misguided statements anymore!
LOL ! You made your point on page 2 and you should have let it go (about the morality of the issue)...when you keep hitting the point home giving the impression that you are squeaky clean is where my post came in. You misrepresented when you applied for a student visa and then got a job. period. Then you attack the other guy on his comm skills by saying things like "thinking in your native tongue and translating" BS when your own comm skills are in doubt. I have not condoned any of the actions in this thread, just taking exception to your language and presumptions.
As kumar pointed out, no need to be ultra harsh. Now let it go...bye.

I see three groups emerging in this disucssion:
1. We applied labor in 2002/3/4. Therefore, GC should be PD based.
2. We applied labor in 2001/2/3 but had to reapply in 2005/6, therefore GC should be based on number of years in US.
3. Govt should "end retrogression" and give green cards to everyone.
I can understand the rationale of all three groups: they want things to work the way it will benefit them. In some way the rationale of first two groups can be justified also.
What I am having trouble with third "end retrogression". What does it exactly mean? There are only limited number of GC's per country. Are you talking about merging all the countries into one queue? I am not sure if ROW applicants will like that because that might set them back. Are we talking about raising the per country caps? How do you accomplish this "end retrogression".
gjoe/and others,
No one's trying to cut the line here. If there's any, it's purely procedural and has nothing to do with 'Ending Retrogression'. With or without retrogression someone might get an RFE, get stuck in namecheck etc. Ending retrogression provides earlier PDs better chances of getting GC faster (if dates are 'C' you get it the month you clear RFE, Name check etc.)
Just posting here isn't helping you cause. Instead you guys can get together and start sending flowers to USCIS director requesting him to publish the complete list of GC applications approved every year. It's the first step in enforcing FIFO. Right now there is no such list and no way of knowing who got their GC out of turn. And while you guys are at it also send some flowers to FBI to clear Namechecks FIFO, to DOL to approve PERM petitions FIFO etc.
Go spend those $50 at Flowers.com folks. Start writing to Senators, collect money, do the lobbying etc. Who's stopping you?
Or do you want logiclife, pappu and rest of the IV core to do it PRO BONO for you?

Answer to this:
this:
And this:
is this:
Positive programming. Could we start it inside ourselves first? Stop ranting and lamenting?
The point is not that tri-state was crooked etc. The point is, they got the cash because they made themselves known as an entity that does some service
Same with IV. If IV is just a rant board, who will believe? We must change IV!
Well, it goes beyond that. This is a "complicated story with no sub titles".
IV website is a board where people of all kinds visit and there is no control over stuff. Just go to any blog site - we see 100 rants and crazy comments as against a few wise talk.
I guess we have to live with it and keep pushing people. Sometimes loud and sometimes gently.

you got to make your decision dude, however, in my case, i would opt for W2. 1099 is a temporary thing... thats my opinion... you did not ask me specifically to share this, but hey, this is a public forum... :-)
Desi/Sankap,
I am not planning to open a company for this. If possible, I would rather work as an independent contractor on 1099. Now, after reading the last few posts, it looks like there are three things I need to worry about in case of a RFE -
1. Job should be bona fide (without going into the definition of the word).
My project is going to be with a large Bank through a big, wellknown consulting/outsourcing company. That should take care of the 'bonafide' part.
2. Should have similar/same job duties/responsibilities.
I am still waiting for the contract, however I can have my job duties/responsibilities listed out in my contract with the company. I am sure I can get a letter from the client too if it comes to that.
3. Job should be permanent - This is something I may not be able to prove. Since the project is short term, I am sure my contract will mention that. I am trying to convince the company to at least include "contract-to-hire" in the language of the contract. Since this project has potential of becoming long term, company is not averse to this idea.
Will having 'contract-to-hire' in the contract take care of this question (if a RFE comes).
Thanks!!

macaca, This is really good point
There could be 3 reasons , which i could think of
1. The CIR, which was providing amnesty to aroun 12 million illegal residents in the US,so they wanted to keep the legal residents happy.
2.The DOS wanted to force USCIS to finish its backlog, if the dates were current and USCIS would have to accept our applications then they would have to process a lot of EAD/AP and would required a lot of work, They could put the 485 in queue but not AP/EAD. So the only way for USCIS was to process the backlog(At least many legal residents got GCS)
3.USCIS wanted to avoid accepting these applications till July 30, to get more fees( I think this is the least possible reason)

Hi,
It took me a while since their lines are busy. I sent faxes to my local senators and to those:
Patrick J. Leahy http://leahy.senate.gov/contact.html
Arlen Specter http://specter.senate.gov/index.cfm?...ntactInfo.Home
Chuck Hagel http://hagel.senate.gov/index.cfm?Fu...n=Contact.Home

Mel Martinez http://martinez.senate.gov/public/in...TOKEN=66357958
Trent Lott http://lott.senate.gov/index.cfm?Fus...=Contact.Email
Lindsey Graham http://lgraham.senate.gov/index.cfm?mode=contactform
I created a personal 1-page fax based on IV template and asked to include:
1. More immigrant visas for those who are in the queue alredy(employment based)
2. Asked for easy H1B 3-year extensions like in the present law
3. Allow to file I485 without visa numbers
4. Showed how illegals are being rewarded for breaking the laws, and how the legals are being punished by current bill.
Guys, it may take a while, but do e-mails and faxes. The hardest fax to reach was sen. Reid's office.
Go IV go....
Thanks for putting all the websites together.

yes that is true. I did not had any problem with mortgage. Atleast as of today, it is illegal to deny mortgage based on immigration status. If you have any idea of buying a house, it is better to do it before any law changes if at all there is one in the pipeline as you(madhuri) suspect.
It is all how you see your life. Just concentrate your energies on positive stuff you have. This will bring you more energy and most importantly, it will bring more for those who sorrounds you like your family. Peace in family is very important to pursue anything in life and especially career and that too as an immigrant in US without GC.
I know many people who bought home while on H1B, including me. I did tell the Bank/Credit Union, I'm on H1B and my application for GC is under process and all they requested is to provide a letter from my employer about my employment, my h1b papers, etc and I'd no problem in getting a Mortgage Loan. This was a year back.
