India was demanding latest fighter jets (F-22) but US can offer only old version F-16,F-18 to India. Basic reason for US denial to latest technology because of India -US relation and their status .US only offers new technology to its close allys. I think it was prudent move from India’s part to get latest and greatest technology. To get these new technologies US congress needs to pass law and define India as close ally.

I have bought stamps/envelops and printed # of letters by myself and going desk to desk and urging Desi's to sign and send letters.
Great! Everyone is paying me for the stamps and sending letters.
Cheers! I urge everyone do this to their respective work location. It is working like magic! Believe me!
We are all little lazy in this winter weather, just need a little push! That's all!

Because, till 2005 there were extra 100,000 (total 242,000 were issued) recapturd numbers available. Therefore, no one cared (DOS/USCIS) about AC21 law that removes country quota. EB2 were curren for all then.

Dear Administrator (Pappu)...How should I contact you. I had previously emailed at info@immigrationvoice.org (on 4/20/2008) but did not get a reply.
Thanks for all the replies guys. Believe me I have tried everything possible to try and expedite this security check process. I contacted the news channels and news papers (ones you guys mentioned and more) but no one even dared to reply. I firmly believe that most of the media in India is extremely sympathetic to US and they do not want to disturb the status quo. Otherwise what can explain this complete lack of any news coverage given the number of people who are suffering. Please also read the security clearance tracker at http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=4724019812&m=772108581
Given the number of people who have read these forums and documented their situation, you would assume that there must be at least one news item covering this situation. There is none whatsoever. Everyone on H1B is now afraid to go out of US and most of those people who wanted to or needed to get their passports stamped are thinking again. This essentially means nobody on H1B visa should think of visiting their families and friends outside US if they already do not have a visa stamp with sufficient time. Initially I thought mostly guys with muslim names are getting stuck but now it is confirmed that if your name is Amit Kumar forget about stamping as you will have to wait for 3 to at least 8 months. I have a hindu name and so do lot of others who are stuck. The situation I think became worse since January 2008 when most visa officers were asked to apply not only PIMS checks but also TAL checks strictly. So if your are a chemical engineer, biotechnologist (unfortunately I am engineer working for a biotech company) and any other job that a Master's level student (mostly with none IT degrees, but not necessarily so) can take in US, you will have to go through TAL check since every type of advanced skills job is listed in this TAL list. How dumb can the US government departments be by issuing such a list without adequate training of the visa officers to understand what represents a threat versus what represents some advanced skills work being done in US which will allow such work to remain in US.
I am extremely worried because I don't know what will happen to this backlog when newly issued 85000 H1b professionals will go for stamping.
Guys this situation needs urgent attention since DOS has started seeing every body with an H1B as a threat to the nation and this notion has to be dispelled. I am not saying that they should not apply TAL checks, but these should be applied to only those who are working on some really sensitive technology and to determine this DOS should have a technologist to review the resume of such a person rather than an Visa Officer. DOS doesn't even respond to my emails. My last hope is the US senator from my area that my company has contacted to help. But given the experience of others at the murthy forum, even this does not shake the mighty all knowing DOS.

I think calling your university presidents and asking them to show their support for these bills would also be a very good idea.
This bill will encourage pursuit of higher education in US by foreign students in a significant way.
Right now for all bills that Zoe proposed there are max 19 co sponser for this last bill. DID you check for STRIVE ACT 2007 which had 78 co-sponsers still could not make it to floor.
We need to call these lawmakers and educated them on these bills.
Chances are less but our investment is not that big. Few minutes in a day to call or write.

My Job duties on labor says
"Design, develop and test software using Java, C++, C, VB, Winrunner, SAP, Oracle, Networking, ASP and RUP"
The title in labor is "Software Engineer"
Now the new job offer has title as "Lead Developer"
and duties are
"The lead developer will be responsible for leading a team to creating components within Java, utilizing standard Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), writing unit test cases and supporting the Testing and Quality Assurance phases of the software development lifecycle."
Can somebody comment on this in context of same / similar job?

No lies, salary cannot be raised and people on H-4 cannot work. The article is right.
What I don't get is where they got that the Sept 18 rally will see 5000 of us attending? That's way too little guys, we need at least double that!
Will we even have 5000 people??? I will be (pleasantly) surprised if we do!
Too bad most of us think this rally is a waste of time. I hope they wake up and realize that doing nothing and waiting for their GCs will be an even bigger waste of time if they lose their job 3 years down the line!

Yes sir, I do. I am suffering for 8 years now because of all these stupid USCIS rules. They think that by changing name from INS to USCIS things will change. Well, got a news for all, it is in worst shape than ever.
So far as you are concerned sir, are planning on joining us or not.
Well, it's the bitter truth that a lot of people have been suffering now for a while. Unfortunately in this person's case, it's not the USCIS that messed up, it was the lawyer... Now you're going to come back with something like "It's because of USCIS' stupid rule of not accepting applications when priority dates are not current", but guess what...that's part of the system...you've got to play by the rules!!!...agreed that it would be wonderful if a lot of the rules changed, and IV is doing a great job in trying to make this happen!
By the way, what's your explanation for the rude comment? We all understand that you're an ardent supporter of IV's efforts, and that's awesome, but that doesn't mean you can put other people down...
To answer your question, yes, I am doing my best to ensure that I'm able to make it to the rally...but just some food for thought... in the event that a person is not able to make it to the rally for some reason, it does not give you ANY RIGHT WHATSOEVER to go about bashing them in the way that you are...
Good luck!
p.s. It's mam, not sir.... :cool:

Some peoples think that they are the smartest world has ever Produced.
When you go for Fedex/USPS Express they takes your Name, Current Address in a page which has Pointer to the TRACKING NO. 1 copy comes to you , 1 copy goes out with Package and 1 Copy gets saved with FEDEX/USPS.
The 3rd copy above is sufficient to straightout any "Potential Liars" :mad:
If a lawyer is mailing the application and he probably is mailing hundreds of applications, he won't give the applicant's address in the USPS senders address. So there is no way to match a receipt to an applicant. Besides USCIS won't know what the contents of the package are.

If USCIS wastes about 10K-20K visa numbers every year, then they are wasting about 10% every year. This 10% is consistent with the amount FBI name-check backlogs.
I am not sure either way but one thing to keep in mind. The FBI estimate is based on 10% of ALL petitions including family petitions. If you would isolate just the EB petitions, the percentage that the FBI flags is much less than 10%
But again I am just repeating what I read. So you could be right.

As per this logic, Prof Matloff is also paid in the same bracket as other university professors; so he is also ordinary because his pay ratio would be 1.0!!! At any place, your co-workers are doing same type of work, so will get same salary. Even in hedge funds, if an immigrant is paid very high salary, his colleagues are also paid the same high salary. Very ridiculous logic to use pay ratio.
Ask Mark that if pay ratio is 1.0, why are companies still hiring H1B people and get in to all these govt red tape, if they can easily get manpower at same cost without the need for H1?
And does he think that someone must have PhD to do useful innovations? How many of these great innovative companies are started by PhD? On the contrary, how many PhDs work for Microsoft who is started by college dropout?

That was a very illogical reply to the per-country limit question. How come a large number of people from certain countries automatically eliminate people from smaller countries from getting green cards? That's an extremely dumb way of looking at it.
If you remove the limits, yes most of the cards will go to people from India and China, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE #$@!$ING BACKLOGGED FOR DECADES DUE TO THE LIMITS!!
