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..

Great Dude,
Kudos for voicing your opinion !, its upto every individual to choice his/her path, currently their is sheep herding mentality going on (you know what i mean ;)
I have been in this country since 2000, no GC yet, as a matter of fact if my company does not apply for labour in a couple of months , i am sure to go home, my company has said it would apply, but is taking forever. In hindsight, i feel i should have never left India, i have lost on my career development, lost some of my dignity, and feel that i am treated as a 2nd class citizen.
I have decided the GC is for a chosen few ;), not for everybody, I guess i am a coward (whatever that means ?), I prefer to exhuast my H1 and go back Home with some dignity and self respect. It's like this, US is like a mansion (or rather appears to be) , i asked the owner if i could get in, he said OK, i asked the owner if i can stay longer and be here (GC), the owner said he would think about it, now the owner 'OWN's' me, since i have stayed in the mansion for quite long, I am used to the comforts, and not sure if i want to leave or fight the slave trader. I for one, refuse to be labelled, bonded, and treated as 2nd class citizen. I am off to my birth country, and for me its the greatest country, ever on the face of the earth, and i really feel sorry for abandoning it.

the racists will be licking their lips if they see such posts-its their dream come true! they are bothered in the least about braindrain if its less brown brains - its the average fairminded guy and public policy people that we are trying to influence. racists will happily trade for a 1% lower gdp if it means less brown people. I dont know how long you have been in the US but definitely not long enough to sense that. if you are not here for the longhaul and dont believe your future lies here, I would suggest you dont be part of IV whose mission is to support fighters - not losers! some idiot yelled at me for being sympathetic to illegal immigrants and had the whole friggin thread removed but I losers like you get to start a thread and even poll people?

Do you guys really think this bill will become a law that too in its current state and the added amendments? I seriously doubt it. If it is then dont you think the corporate business lobby that has fought really hard to increase the h1 b's to 115000 would have just sat mum while the H1 B fees were increased? I think this bill is just getting too absurd to become into law. I dont know but it would be interesting to hear what the businesses have to say with the increase in h1b fees.
May be I am totally wrong but just thought of posting this because I have been reading so many depressing posts from everyone. Have hope and faith. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. At this point we need to strategise, which I am sure IV is doing it excellently. We may need to make a few compromises but try to make friends with others who are lobbying.
Please dont bombard me. Its just my thought. Please ignore this post if it offends you.
Guys,
Can we lobby to add an ammendum to pay huge penalities($50K) when all the current GC holders apply for Citizenships.

Did anyone notice that GCTest's only interest was to start a fight between EB2 and EB3 folks.
See how he opened up a thread and threw a match to light the fire so that everyone starts fighting amongst themselves and he did not post again in his own thread .
United we stand and divided we fall. This is true since life started and will be true until the end of time.
I noticed that. May be he/she is stuck in the traffic. :P
But I used this thread to voice my opinion about various issues.

We should gather again and fight for the common cause of improving the GC process time. We should all be grateful for the interim benefits we would get, but we should not stop here. Let us gather again and fight for the next big thing.

I understand that I'm trying to chose a devil/insurance, which is lesser evil compared to the rest.
So, in that aspect, Comprehensive/Fixed appears to NOT matter at all. These are just pricey nouns. I can't believe that K.V.Rao's insurance lying publicly that it's a not-for-profit. These ridiculous kinds, stoop to such a level of cheating people with a Indian name on it.
I'm still open for any recommendations here. I appreciate all your comments & suggestions so far.

I have responsed and sent sample letter to all requests I got before 8 AM PST this morning. Also, sent out the contact info for the TSC officer.
Please do not email me and ask me how to reach an officer at TSC. I have already posted the instructions in this thread so that everyone can see/use it.
@ leoindiano
Where is your case? You should call and talk to an IO and find out. It will be good if the IO can put in a note in your case on which 140 needs to be used. After around 100 calls, I managed to talk to a very friendly IO, she put in a note and asked for my file to be pulled out of storage (I believe that is what happened in my case). I was on the phone for around 20 minutes with this IO and I couldnt believe how a IO could be so friendly and polite :) Have you treid CIS Ombudsman and USCIS Sec. Napolitano?

I assume you've likely never studied in India though. An bachelor's degree in engineering is not very expensive, if you have good grades.
10 years back it would cost about $100-200 a year, if you qualified through a state ranking system.
Tony, I didn't grow up in India. I am oblivious to its education ways. That said, some of the comments expressed here, is not the way to talk to anyone with an education, no matter what school they graduated. Anyway, I'm done here.

WaldenPond,
Thanks for all the efforts you have made for us. Just contributed 200$ , please ask others to contribute too. Together we all need to give that one last giant push......
Friends ,
I appeal to all of you, this is the best time to start enegizign ourself and contribute for the cause.... I have done my second contrbution ...let's do it..
Hello anurakt,
Thank for contributing again to IV. You and other members like yourself would be the reason for IVs success in changing the flawed green card system.
Thank you for encouraging other IV members for contributing. As you know, this is very important and more amongst us should encourage our fellow IV members to contribute. Often times it is evident that few IV members are struggling to keep a positive tone on the forums. As you may have experienced, it is easy to post few messages here and there. The message of some of these posts is to throw out ideas for others to implement. But in the end, the success of our community will depend on the contribution from kind members like you. Thank You.
Regards,
WaldenPond

Folks,
This is not a financial help/grievance forum to discuss about funds transfer problems, or bank reputation. There are many more places for that purpose. If you cannot find one, start one for yourself.
This forum is meant for discussing US employment based immigration related matters.
If you still have any doubts, click on the "About us" link on top of the web page and dispel your doubts.
Admins: Please close this thread.
I understand that you are trying to be smart but you not quite sounds so. sorry
of course - this is off topic but the whole point is WE are suffering from it and DOES affects us - may be you are not nor you have any clue about what this means to you.
the goal of our community is to drive out the common enemy, share our experience to benefit others- may be sometimes it does sounds off topic but that does matters to us, the same way how $$$ matters to you. I would recommend you just think about bit before start comment on it.

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.

I challenge the Journal to wave their labor force figures in the face of one of the hi-tech workers who have had to train their own replacement who is an H-1B visa holder. That's a smack in the face to the American worker and hardly an issue to take lightly.
How is it possible to enforce that a worker who trains H1B does not get replaced?
If this is happening then the fee increase is for training the replaced worker. This makes sense.
The only questions are: What is the number of these cases? What is the rationale for amount increase to re-train these cases?
I still don't see a rationale for paying for re-training anyone else!
