Older generation men always put their savings in LAND and the women in GOLD. Both are ASSETS.
The new generation thought stock market is for educated people where you understand the company principles/profits/analysis etc... But it is turning out more like GAMBLING.
Friend,
I am from Bangalore. Most of the major cosmopolitan cities prices will remain stable(10-15% changes) . If you are looking at long term investment, go ahead and buy LAND.
After 5-10 years, you can sell and use it for your kid's education or you can construct
rental houses.
Make sure the LAND documents are correct and there is proper security for it.
Good Luck.
I totally agree,
It all depends on the type of property you want to invest,
Land/Bunglows not more than 10% correction [Different class of buyers mostly cash-NOT middle class]
Flats-definite correction atleast 30%[mostly middle class]
Stock market money will trickle in real estate-as someone said gold prices and land prices will sustain

Actually, not all he said was wrong.
We should not support what these IT consulting companies are doing with H1B programme just because we are on H1. These big companies are hoarding H1B visas so they can have an upperhand when dealing with the employees.
My own employer was trying to get as many H1s as possible without having ANY work for them. They sent us all a few emails asking us if we had any family or friends back home who want to come to US on H1. These guys make the H1 applicants pay for the application expenses, then just keep them there or get them here and keep them on bench and almost everybody here is familiar with what happens next.
Think from an American's point of view.. It is THEIR country, THEY make the laws that benefit their society and economy.. they have all the right to stand up against these practices by foreign based companies..
I like his statement "H1B is supposed to be used when there IS a job but no American to do it" What these Consulting companies have turned it into is "There is a person on H1B avaliable If and when there is a job to do" OR worse "There is an H1B holder available, on bench, but no job to do"
I totally support reform in the H1 process with a target to reduce fraud. That will ultimately benefit people like us who will come here on H1B in future.
Please don't fire me for taking his side, I'm not. I'm in favour of market deciding what it needs, but I'm 100% against fraud, and all of know these so called consulting companies ARE indulging in fraud..
Well, I do agree with you.
H1B program itself is good, but when people try to exploit/misuse the program and find ways that are not morally and legally correct, to get more H1B's then it needs to be punished. In my view, targeting these folks and barring them from sponsorship of H1B's is necessary, and requires meaningful changes to the system, not just increase in fees for H1B sponsorship.

To avoid transaction charges let users pay quarterly or half-yearly recurring. i.e. if one wants to donate 5$/ month so it will be 30$/ 6 months etc.
It is a good idea to save on recurring charges but monthly contribution will help IV plan things in advance. Whatever you can, donate now and raise the bar!
To raise your spirit, whatever amount you donate now, I will double it IV - send me a PM once you made the payment.

It reminds me this story every time I visit IV.
Workers working with an export company which use to ship chickens from all over the world to US/Europe, were packing chickens from some Indian port. Each box was having some 50-70 chickens in it .
After loading them in, they were about to cover these boxes with the tops. The leader shouts to workers: " No need to put the tops. They wouldn't go any where "
Surprised with this order, one worker asks the leader 'Why'. The leader says : " These are Indian chickens. IF one tries to escape, other will pull its leg."
Good One :D
We should concentrate on taking actions. I believe taking a small step in action is better than talking big.

I have been looking at opportunities elsewhere. However, in my field (not IT related), US is still a very good destination and my skills are also in demand in US and elsewhere. My home country, however, still lacks the basic infrastructure needed for me consider that as an option.
Nonetheless, as I said, if things don't improve by 2009, 2010 then I will be forced to consider other options such as australia/europe/canada. But I dont think I agree to "Quit America" just to prove a point. I will do what I think is best for my career and future; as the congress must do what they think is best for America's future. If given the chance, I will contribute to the continued success of this nation... else will move where my skills are in demand.
Meanwhile, get invoved in state chapters to convince congressmen about our plight, and let them decide about the country's future.

When you say ..."they are suffering and its not justified".....
This is exactly what is wrong !!! Why the hell do we feel that it is unjustified?? Not only for EB3 or EB2 or anyone for that matter ?? Congress has the authority to pass laws, even something as insane as "no EB immigration for the next 20 years" or something like that. IMMIGRATION is a priviledge, NOT a birthright. India has its laws too, my son who was born here has to report every 6 months like a criminal even though he has a valid visa in India?? Is that unjustified? NO, it is the law in INdia. Students at national universities in India from foreign countries pay in excess of 100 times what an indian student pays, is that justified ? NO, it is the discretion of the UGC.
For those complaning about USCIS, do you even remember trying to pay the water bill or the telephone bill or electric bill in INdia? Those were the reasons that drove people out of the country. The US is not perfect but it has pretty generous laws and the USCIS is not perfect but it is trying. Here, if you dont get a response in 6 months, you have options to pursue this, even talk to senators and congressmen. In INdia there are murder cases that run longer than 15-20 years.
So please cut the "suffering" and "unjustified" feelings from the equation. If you are "suffering" because of immigration related issues, then that is ENTIRELY by choice.
There will be opinions. You are entitled to yours and so am I. I guess we can lay this to rest here. No point in arguing it till the end of time.

It is a learning phase for everyone here at IV...
Before this issue was raised no one had heard about it....but now after 50 replies and 6000 views ..we have more insights regarding USCIS procedure...
I would encourage everyone to create induvidual portfolio on USCIS website and make sure you add every receipt you have ever received and set email update on the same that way you are aware of happenings on your case.
The way USCIS works, the benificiary is usually kept in the dark unless information is needed from the benificiary.

It is very important to put proper subject in your e-mail. Please refer to the chennai consulate website for more information. Because of the volume of e-mails they'll be getting, they don't respond to normal e-mails. I got the response the next day. I don't know if i am a isolated case but it doesn't hurt to follow the instructions in the website.
The email response I got from consulate says following:
>>>
Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that because of the recent changes implemented in processing the H1b visas, your cases are being delayed. Your petition information has to be verified in the PIMS database before the visa could be adjudicated. It will take approximately another 5 more work days. Thank you for your patience.
>>>
Then I called the consulate officer and she told me that if I dont recieve passport by next Wednesday, then give a call. My case is not complicated..no issues with H1..no questions asked about my employer..just only about my spouse AOS..and I have AP, EAD which means they should have my background information already. I feel like I unnecessarily went to visa stamping. It is taking more than 2 weeks, after visa stamping, to get passport back..so going to India for 1 month vacation with visa plans is very risky..
Will let you know once i receive my passport.

There seems to be no pattern among recent approval rate-My coworker didn't get any update from USCIS- he directly got his physical GC on 4th Sept.
We are still waiting, tried InfoPass, Raised SR, Contacted Senator etc.etc. I am willing to go to Lincoln,NE if that is what it will take to get GC:D
LOL - let me know when you book your flights to Lincoln - I will be there with you ..whatever it takes buddy - whatever it takes :)
do you think some sort of campaign would work in this case? may be this is TOO EARLY to think about this but that's what happened last year - we waited for 2 months and got NADA !!! Hope it doesn't happen this year.

Got a call this morning (at 8 AM) from an IO at local office telling me that my case was approved.
After an hour, around 9 AM, I got another call from USCIS. I was pleasantly suprised with how polite the lady was. She told me that she was following up on the inquiry I had sent. She repeated what I already knew, that my case was approved on 10/26. I am assuming this was in response to the letter I had sent to USCIS secretary Napolatino. She congratulated me a couple times and I thanked her for calling me.
So folks who are waiting, please try everything you can. Draft one good letter, and send it to everyone you can and hope that at least one of those authorities will look at your letter and do something about it.
I also want to thank SeekerOfPeace who shared his letter to Sec. Napolatino with me.

I am 50% done with an MBA from a top 18 school. Unless you are planning to start a career in financing or economics, *I seriously* doubt that rankings would make a lot of difference. For people in IT wanting to move to a CTO/CIO position, I cannot see how rankings would make a significant difference. Instead of spending the money and resources to go to a top school, I'd prefer to invest in certifications such as CISSP, management certifications, etc and then take a degree in a less known school would be totally OK. I agree that by going to a reputable school, you may meet people there that can help you get positions in the future. So far I've got an invitation to work for classmate's team, thanks to the connection I've made at the MBA.
For those of with you without true passion for management and soft skills, you might want to consider a MSIS or MSIM instead. Those degrees usually are less expensive and less time consuming to achieve. I started the MBA planning that I would be a great CIO. After taking many courses at my MBA, I decided that the last thing I want is to be a CIO; CIO's are about people, executive management and I learned that's not where my passion is.
Can anyone provide some useful insight based on personal experienceas to how valuable is Part Time MBA for oppurtunities in India?
I am IT professional with lot of experience and currently pursuing Part time MBA from a business school which is ranked in top 25 and not in top 10.
The way I see it that it will take me around 4 years to complete it and I have to invest atleast $30,000 even if I get employer to pay a part of it.
In the end if it fetches me a top notch management position it will be well worth it. However I see limited chances of getting into management positions in US just based on MBA degree however I am not sure about India.
Any thoughts?

It is not fair to expect a member to contribute the moment he joins. It takes some time to understand the impact of GC problems and get a good feeling about IV activities. IV can not post its activities on forums. You will be surprised to know that anti-immigration organizations are well organized.
However, we have numerous members with 50+ posts and 3+ month of membership with no intension to contribute $20 (you will not get 2 Indian Buffet's in Washington DC for $20; it takes $4 (metro up) + $4 (metro down) + $4 (parking) everyday to DC).
I (and other members) have literally begged some of these members. One particular member says (s)he is going back to his/her country but starts posting abnoxious messages after a few weeks.
Macaca,
So, do we have a way to make these thick skinned folks unwelcomed? I dont think any of your postings are less stimulating but I guess there is no big impact on these free lunchers. Is there a way we can atleast discourage them to not use IV's bandwidth and forum to there own benefit. I think Senior Member's should come up with some kind of a solution to this situation.
