I know we have set another reminder (with the 100's we already have), what is the biggest reason not to automate it ?
Every $ counts, those who plan to contribute less than 50 bucks a month, remember to set yourself a monthly reminder, your pay date will be a good date to pick.

And the drama continues...
All I had asked was how the older IV core members were doing as I hadn't seen them online in over a year. But as usual a simple question like that and a request for some updates kicks up a storm!!
Once again, this was not to start a storm. I honestly just wanted to find out how the older core members were doing. WaldenPond, thanks for your first response.
Well, the climax is good :) :) - we found a member 'jnraajan' interested in starting a state chapter and building the grass roots efforts and seems to be motivaited enough and took the discussion in a positive way.
Lot of people read IVs discussions silently - looking at 'jnraajan' others do get motivated.
There is no storm or whatever you think, folks like h1bslave and his likes need fitting responses for their posts and thats it.

I like your response, really -- I think it's frank and hits upon what it means to be Indian at heart.
BUT, when one makes a decision to immigrate - he/she's not just making that decision for himself - but also for his/her spawns and the future generations to come. Is it fair for us to rob them of (well, i know most american born desi kids don't care a rats ass about going/being in India) - what it feels to be an Indian at Heart? what it 'Really' feels like to be watching/talking cricket/movies on 'em gullies, what it's like to be eating gaadi chaat, what a festival should really feel/look like .. and a bunch of other stuff- -that happens only in India.
not trying to discount anyone's opinions .. it's just the internal dilemma that needs addressing
all excellent points by Vikram and american desi!
I personally think that many of us take the issue of citizenship less seriously than it ought to be........also some of us also seem to confuse the National & Historical identity ( being a Citizen of India) and the Cultural identity (street food, cricket matches, Hindi movies etc.)
Re - the original post - i dont agree that becoming a US citizen is an achievement - a test of your patience and diligence in going through the onerous process - yes, achievement - no. getting a US citizenship in no way makes anyone a better human being or a more accomplished professional - so not an achievement.
in about 4 years or so - i would be at a decision point of whether to take US Citizenship or not......i dont think I am mentally ready to relinquish my Indian passport....to me it represents a 5,000 year old civilization with rich history and heritage and yet in many ways a young country poised to take the leap into its rightful place among the community of nations.....if it works out i would like to go back and be a part of that leap but even if i am here..when that happens - i would want to be able to proudly wear my Indian identity (and if I am a US citizen and still try to wear the Indian national identity - it would make me a hypocrite!).......
Some food for thought - Laxmi Mittal and Amartya Sen carry Indian Passports!
PS: I am willing to concede that i may be singing a different tune in 4 years

[Mr. Brown] True. If the plan B/C is not up to par with plan A then it is definitely hard to move on. Plan A (GC) gives you a grand standard of living but Plan B (India etc.) gives you a first class citizenship plus a say in the society. It's not all bad.
[harikris] Plan B/C comes into play when plan A is logically terminated. That is not the case here Mr. Brown. The process should be fast enough not to allow a life changing event to weigh in on any individual to continue with an initially chosen plan or to abandon it.
[Mr. Brown] Given the passage of time priorities/drive should be geared more towards securing and making the best of what you have (home country's citizenship) rather than what you don't have (GC). Heck, even retirement based mutual funds work in that fashion (aggressive at first, conservative as time passes).
[harikris] Going by your analogy, most "young" folks do play it aggressive(risky) by following up on their dreams and when it is time to consolidate/secure, they are facing uncertainties that are not quite under their control. I can assure you that all their efforts are indeed geared up towards securing what they have worked so hard for all along. I am assuming home country's citizenship and social circles are a given and no extra-ordinary effort needs to be applied in those sectors.
[Mr. Brown] No offense but it comes out a bit narcissist like ... don't ya think?
[harikris] No Sir. I don't believe for a second that i am asking more than what i paid for or entitled to.
[Mr. Brown] See now ... everyone keeps talking about this deal that USCIS promised us. Either my lawyer didn't give me the fine print (where the time frame was mentioned) or USCIS doesn't promise a time frame to every applicant.
[harikris] I am referring to the statements that USCIS/legislators make when they come up with yet another innovative method to overhaul the system to speed up the process and efficiently tackle the existing backlog within a pre-set target date. We have to take their word for it, if we are to have any solid grounds for making a case against backlogs. We got to STOP taking their statements with a "pinch of salt" and "wink-wink" fashion because that would mean we have lost the fight even before we enter the field. We got to "help" USCIS and work with them so that they can help us.
[Mr. Brown] You nailed it. I completely agree with you and guess what this arrogance from USCIS will come back to bite them but it will be too late. How do you think empires that rule for centuries crumble in a few years? Empathy (or lack-thereof) can bring one down to their knees.
[harikris] Thanks. We surely don't want to wish the vehicle [USCIS] that is supposed to take us to our "destination" to crash fatally. Let's strive to put USCIS back on track.
[Mr. Brown] Nothing. As second class citizens (GC/USC or not) we don't have a say in this society. We give some to get some.
[harikris] Please, do what you can. Don't resign to such thoughts. Let's come up with a solution. There is no merit sitting idle. Let's start knocking doors in all earnest and some door should open for sure.

THE POLL CHOICES HAVE BEEN TAMPERED BY THE MODERATOR. (CHOICES 3 and 4 were not in the original POLL)
RESULTS : Yes - 37, No -117 ( 77+7+33) Detailed interpretation of the poll results will be put up soon. Please feel free to continue posting on this thread
I thanks everyone for your responses. I wish you all good luck with your GC's and your lobbying.
For all those who voted "Yes" for sure you are worth the smarts, you will be at the top no matter were you are.
Let us all have a rally to move back to our countries on 4July2008 to symbolically show that we want our Freedom and Independence and never return back.
If all the articles about reverse brain drain we are reading about is true they would do something to solve this GC situation. Otherwise the anti-immigrants will come to see us off while we depart this country and never to return back as H1B's trying to get GC's and live here. This will go into history, 30yrs from now and our grandchildren will read about it. And may be we will get some special pension at our home countries for returning back and helping it to do better.
Please take the poll to indicate if you would participate in this QUIT AMERICA MOVEMENT FOR OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
PS: Ask the yourself why someone had to modify a poll? Ask yourself why you have to take direction from people who can't be original.

Lou is talking about H1 badly. Does he know how schools are facing problems without H1. Thousands of schools have no math and science teachers in rural areas. Why cant he make the americans to work in that area. Most of the schools are using teachers over 75 to 80 years old. Most of them didnt know how to use computers. Then how they teach good to students. Principals are struggling to run the schools with out teachers. Parents are disappointed without proper teachers. With this level, how can America make best future.My kids are struggling without proper teachers. When we ask the schools, they are saying they couldnt get proper teachers. If Lou's grand kids face this trouble, then he wont talk. With this situation, how schools can make AYP(adequate Yearly Progress) according to No Child Left Behind Law. First the Govenment must take necessary steps to solve this issue

My analysis for EB2. If some one is not agree with this, please ignore it but don't put any rude comment.
DOL approved labor as follow
For India (all category assume 50% are EB2)
2005 : 1350 (EB2-I : 675
2006 : 22298 (EB2-I : 11149)
2007 : 24573 (EB2-I : 12286)
2007 before July 2007 (approximately 65%)
July 2007 : 15972 (EB2-I : 7986)
2007 labor approval is for FY (up to Sept 07). If person have approved labor before July 2007, 99% he/she might have filed I 485.
Consider derivative (Dependent) factor : 2.5
Following numbers of I 485 pending applications for EB2-I:
2006 : 27872
2007 : 19965
Total : 47837
As per Sen Kyl's information pending I 485 for EB2 India : 51717
PD Before 31 Dec 2005 : 3880
PD Before 31 Dec 2006 : 31752
PD before July 2007 : 51717
If this data is true, It would be easily hit early 2006 cut off date for EB2-I in August/Sept 2009 VB
Good luck to every one !
(Note: I got my Green card in 2007)
Hey Khodalmd,
Good to see some of the old timers hanging around though the got their Green.
As you can see some of those old timers are still languishing here! Funny thing is becoming current is no guarantee of completion of processing, it merely gives you a chance to be hopeful!
This is a massively screwed up immigration system in so many ways. Totally unbefitting of such a great country.

More likely cause is that the letter from the applicant notifying his new job never reached/registered in CIS systems.
Did the person send the letter in time? Was there any intermediate change in status between NOID and actual denial status? This is crucial to know before jumping to conclusions.
It was received well within time. If they don't receive resonse to request for evidence; they specifically mention it in the denial.
right now; there is issue with on-line case status with uscis. Not always updating. This is not what it is.

UN,
Have there been any updates on this case that you are at liberty to share?
Thanks in advance.
nothing yet.
Longest I have seen a 485 denial go without getting reopened is 5 months.
If a person doesn't have h-1b then six months is a magic number. If person overstys six months and uscis ultimately denies it again then person is in terrible situation (3 year bar).

you have a sound logical argument
Ok, among the many replies to what i wrote, a few have been rational discussions. A healthy argument is always encouraged. However, I will dissect the above post line by line to pinpoint exactly why some people completely deserve the treatment that they get. Here I demonstrate how a healthy discussion is hijacked by imbeciles and that is why IV is doomed to failure.
"Till now, i used to believe that USCIS is working hard and eventually they will clear all the backlogs and give the GC to everyone. but by seeing your post, i think i am mistaken, they are doing a big mistake by giving a GC to people like you. "
DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE?? WHAT DOES USCIS BEING HARDWORKING AND CLEARING BACKLOGS HAVE TO DO WITH MY POST ON A RANDOM FORUM?? YOU SIR, MAY BE MISTAKEN ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS AND MY POST MAY BE THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS.
"Once you become a gc holder and then a citizen, you will question a lot of other things, like giving social security/medicare to poor people who have not contributed and will also question the tax cut(1000$) given to each child when claimed as dependent , as you will argue that , i was doing my second Phd and others who dont have anything else to do, made children and are now claiming the cut. "
LET ME GUESS, YOU THINK MCCAIN IS GREAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL WHICH CAN PREDICT WHAT I WILL DO YEARS FROM NOW AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT FROM A ISOLATED POST ON A RANDOM FORUM, YOU HAVE CREATED A COMPLETE PICTURE OF MY POLITICS?? THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE INTERNET, EVEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CANNOT FORM A COHERENT THOUGHT HAVE AN EQUAL SAY IN ANY DISCUSSION.
"All i am saying is that american people are in great danger by allowing people like you to get the GC and citizenship."
SOMEONE PLEASE GO AND WARN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THE GRAVE DANGER !! NOT ONE WORD IN THIS ENTIRE POST OF YOURS CAN EVEN PRETEND TO BE PART OF A LOGICAL THOUGHT !! WOULD YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE DANGER IS? WHY IS IT SPECIFIC TO AMERICAN PEOPLE? YOUR PREVIOUS PARA SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT I AM ANTI-IMMIGRANT, NOW I AM ANTI AMERICAN??
This is precisely why IV hasnt achieved its goals till now and probably never will.

Just wondering why USCIS is neither accepting nor rejecting the July 2nd application? How long can thy hold applications like this? Can they leverage this in their favour in the class action lawsuit? Is this procrastination deliberate , considering its legal implications?
They either have to reject the application or provide the receipt notice. Cannot hold the applications without any actions for long time.

:)I have used AIG for my in-laws visit and didn't had to use it. Why can't we add them to our insurance as dependants? Did anyone tried this?
You cannot add parents to your insurannce specially if it is provided through your employer - the group insurance covers only nuclear family.
Using any India based insurance is extremely risky - I know a family that went through hell and finally paid $18000 to get urgent care for their mother when she developed some tremors - this was the first time she ever got those and the India guys said it is pre-existing and denied - later the doc in India found out it was a allergic response to the pollen in Vermont. How could that be pre existing ?
The other problem is with insurance recognition - most urgent care facilities do not recognize the India insurance or at the very least treat it with extreme skepticism - best is to use US insurance in case there are questions atleast you have a local 800 number for the hospital to call.
These are your parents and this is the US health care system - spend a few hundred more and be safe.
