Is immigration a right? ABSOLUTELY.
Well, over the past few months we have heard a lot of sound bites like �Immigration is a privilege, not a right�. �We are a country of immigrants but we are also a country of laws.� We will see about that in moment when we look at history and find out how lawful immigration has historically been.
Let�s focus on one thing sorely missing from our community: The sense of entitlement.
A lot of employment based immigrants in this country, legally here, on H1, L1, J1 etc. have asked themselves, �What right do I have to ask for change in laws or relief from congress? I am not even a citizen. Lobby congress? As an alien? Are you kidding me? Do you want to get deported? Do you realize you are going �against� the Government?�
Therein comes the lack of sense of entitlement.
First of all, legally speaking, there is no distinction between the constitutional rights of citizens and the constitutional rights of those who are non-citizens � legal or illegal. (Non-citizens are also called �aliens�, but I refrain from using that word whenever I remember coz none of us look like characters of Star Wars and we are not green-headed animals with 6 limbs, so I don�t consider myself an alien just because I was born somewhere else on the same planet).
Second of all, as a person within the jurisdiction of the United States, the first amendment actually prohibits the congress from making any laws against stated rights � one of which is the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances. So not only its legal to do what we are doing, it unconstitutional to pass a law to make it illegal for us to petition (or lobby, advocate, litigate) government for a redress of grievances. And that first amendment isn�t changing, coz to change it, its going to need two-thirds of US congress and three-fourths of states to back it. And we all know, how lucky we are to have 51 senators agree on the fact that sun rises from the east.
Earned Right or Birthright?
The fact that you are here and you are here legally and working with the system to earn immigration is something you should be proud of. Not guilty of. If you treat yourself as guests, the government will treat you like a guest. I would rather treat myself two times the citizen. Why, coz it simply much harder to earn a citizenship than to be born into it. I believe that not only we deserve fair and speedy immigration, but also when we do become citizens we should have the privilege to give two votes in elections. Now, I am not trying to display chutzpah here. I am going to back up my claim with reason. See, a lot of us came here 5-10 years ago with almost no money. Many of us never received any formal education in America. However, we have been able to survive and keep a job in this country, even during the stock market crash of 2001 and the economic recession after that. No small feat. We are the last ones to leave the office at night (Actually, that is true for both legal and illegal workers, coz the legal computer programmer is still coding Java at 7:00 PM while the illegal janitor starts vacuuming the office). We relocate across states as-if its relocating 2 traffic lights away. We adapt to different employers, we adapt to all employers. And all these without driving down the wages. Yes, it�s true. We don�t depress the wages and we don�t steal jobs and the labor certification is designed to prevent that and it�s working. We all know how great its working and how intense the process is, especially those who are stuck in Philly and Dallas backlog creation centers.
So, to sum it up, we have twice to right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, twice the right to everything. It�s an earned right, not a birthright. Our natural instinct should be to exercise the rights we have earned. If we cannot do it now, we are not going to really make anything out of citizenship of Greencard that we are pursuing.
And coming back to the sound bites about privileges and �Nation of laws� coming out of Washington today, let me say this: The pilgrims, who dropped anchor near Cape Cod in 1620 didn�t go through a port of entry and get their passports stamped and their I-94s stapled. I don�t think the Indians were waiting at the coast of Virginia to stop immigrants. They just came. And they settled. And they called it home. No priority dates. No visa bulletins.
So you see, what really matters here is whether you feel you are entitled to something or not. If you don�t feel entitled to a fair immigration process that does justice to those who seek legal ways to immigration, then you probably aren�t entitled. To ask for something, you must first believe that you deserve it. And to show that you deserve it, you must ask it loudly and clearly from rooftops. Don�t predict visa bulletins, but work to change and influence the visa bulletin 6 months from now. And no, you wont be deported for exercising that constitutional right.

Could anyone recommend medical insurance for parents over 80?
Unfortunately you are in with little luck for parents over 80. In most American Travel insurance quotes you will see that for 70+ the maximum coverage is $100K and then for 80+ it is just $15K. This is total sham - the purpose of all insurance companies is just this - make the most money by insuring themselves against risk, even at the cost of insurer.
My suggestion to all of you would be to go for comprehensive coverage with a good network. I found http://www.nriol.com/insurance/insurance-worldmed-long-term.asp this site to be useful - don't mean to advertise.

Thanks Caliguy for all your help.
I was able to talk to IO in TSC. Very nice IO (male). He really took time to look into my case.
First he said my case is preadj. , Than he mentioned my I-140 is under EB3 as per computer records.
I told him, i have the copy of my approved I-140 and it is under EB 2 category. he put me on hold for like 4-5 minutes. Came back and said he has passed on the info to IO looking into my case . He asked me for Receipt,alien # ets. on my I-140 BUT God Darn it, i didint have the document with me at that time. He said, i could call, ad give it to IO . I was so MAD!!!
After 30 minutes of searching, i found my approved I140 from 2006.
I called POJ method Less than 2 minutes i spoke to IO ....they dont disclose the name.
I explained my situation again and gave him all the info .He even asked my contact phone no.
i gave it to him.
I dont know , what to do next. Do you think they really pass in the info to IO reviewing the case?
Should i call on Monday.
Man! this weekend will be a GRIND!
I wish , i had the I140 handy.
So all of you there,
Learn from my mistake...please have all the documents with you....you never know, what they will ask for.
Thanks again Caliguy!!!!
Sorry to hear about your lack of documents. Once I didn't have the receipts # for 140 (well, my lawyer never gave me a copy of 140 approval anyways, thankfully, I had created a case status update after filing in my portfolio, that is how I was able to "save" 140 receipts #'s forever) but , coming back to point, IO just read off the screen that company XXX filed your petition on date XXX and confirmed that there are two 140's.
Please fax your information to NCSC too as they do take a look at received faxes.

I dont have problems with genuine L1s who wants to settle down and apply GC. But 90% of L1s, just come for 1-2 years, take away jobs to India, drive down wages and never interested in settling down
Don't you realize that this is the preferred policy of a large part of the US establishment? The anti-immigration activists are concerned about demographic change and are thus okay with jobs being sent abroad in exchange for limited permanent immigration.

not sure how to do this. can some one in this thread create a poll just for eb3-India just to see a ball park number of people waiting in eb3 india and for how long they are waiting (may be we can start from jan 2001 all the way till jun 2008). This atleast would give us an idea of how many IVers are waiting in eb3 queue..pls discard if you did not like this idea. thanks.

How can people write this kind of information. Even I have come through and Indian company and I used to pay all taxes here which includes, Federal, Social, State etc.,
This should end. People here should know that we are paying all taxes. And we are paying Social Security tax as well. Because of retrogression we don't yet know if we would get our green card. We still pay for it and we don't take a dime of it if we have to go back to India.
We are helping the elders to have regular pay and this is what we hear? If there is a way as our friend said we should confront this legally.
Rather we should worry about how to get SKIL passed. This guy from the Hudson institute is a nutcase like Lou Dobbs. Can we sue CNN? Don't get me wrong, my blood too boils when I read such nonsense. But getting emotional doesn't help.

Those who are celebrating .. consider this.. your employer decides for any reason to not continue filing I-140 or decides to let you go in 6th yr.. earlier you used to have at least possibility of sub labor.. now you are basically straight out of luck.. Also if microsoft needed some genius from China or India to join their team and the guy obviously deserves special consideration due to business need and/or his talent.. they are stuck..! It's not good.. yes desi folks were selling and buying these but remedy is worse than the defect.. they could have made changes to rules to make it stringent and almost impossible to get but no reason to place such arbitraty deadlines etc.. if H1B and GC is geared towards desi consulting.. it's should not and will not exist in the long run..
Indentured servitude and middle-men agent type business model is not ideal for anyone including US economy..
----------
that was the idea behind it, but when a feature is being misused and exploited that needs to be plugged. If microsoft needed a genius they can bring that person in on EB1 or H1B or B1 visa. there are many other avenues.
How do u feel that a person who arrives in US yesterday, buys a labor, gets his GC within a year while thousands of us are waiting patiently.
It is an unfair practice and should have been stopped long time back.
It's never too late though.
Selling labors became the business model of manyof these companies.
Are they doing anything illegal? NO.
Are they doing something ethical? NO
So, the law has to change to give everyone a fair chance.

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.

May be its just me... but i think people like lou dobbs/Chris Simcox of Minute man defense corps/william gheen of Alipac (i think that's his name) thrive on misguiding and benefiting from innocent folks - I don't blame people who are misguided (who for the most part I would like to believe are genuinely concerned about illegal immigration). Its like the radio commercials... you want listeners to remember a phone #, keep repeating it... and the number sticks in your mind.
Lou Dobbs - Opportunist looking to make money from book sales and gain popularity for possible government public post
Chris Simcox - Raised millions to build a border fence which turned out to be a cow fence at best. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/07/border.fence/
Alipac guy - Has no job, lives on money raised from Alipac members (3000 a month + travel and other expenses - as posted by himself on his site)
Lot of people are been misguided and taken for a ride in my view...

As IV is willing to help those having issues with employers by providing a platform and interfacing with DOS, USCIS, DOL, Media, lawyers and support in any form - nothing stops people from standing up for themselves and report an abusive employer.
If your causes are genuine, please do not be afraid to stand up for yourselves, IV is there to support you
If IV can outline how it is going to help, that would really make many people come out of the shelves. However, though we talk so much, people are still scared to identify themselves against the employer. However, they may be ready to outline everything against the specific employer as an anonymous person. we got to deal with a situation where people are ready but anonymously. How can we handle this.

I guess the confusion about the future employer being unable to extend the H1 after one enters on AP may have come a couple of responses on Murthy's forum:
http://www.murthy.com/chatlogs/ch071006_P.html
Chat User : I changed jobs. H1B transfer was approved in the U.S. (no visa stamp). Can I keep H-1 status if using AP to travel?
Attorney Murthy : A person may reenter on the AP status and is legally allowed to extend H1B status after that in the U.S. but cannot be on H1B status if the person entered as a parolee. A person has to enter on the H1B status to be in H1B status but is allowed to file an H1B extension if s/he continues to work for the H1B sponsoring employer.
Chat User : Informative website, Murthyji. Thanks for the service. Once the EAD is approved, what do you have to do to change from H1B to EAD? Is approval status on the USCIS WebSite enough or do we have to receive it?
Attorney Murthy : A person has to receive the EAD in order to work for a new employer on the EAD. Merely having an approval notice or seeing the approval status on the USCIS WebSite is not sufficient to be able to work legally on the EAD. A person does not need to do anything to switch from H1B to EAD. Merely by working for another employer on an EAD, a person is deemed to abandon the H1B status and opt for the EAD, unless the person requests the new employer to file an H1B petition extension with the new employer, in which case a person maintains both statuses at the same time, which is legally permissible. Only after travel abroad and reentering the U.S., a person has to choose to enter as a parolee or on H1B status, but, then, as stated above, one may revert to H1B status by filing an H1B extension even if one enters as a parolee, if one is still working for the same H1B employer.

Hi core members,
I am willing to play a more active part in this if you can utilise me in anyway. I live in Redmond WA and my wife works in a major software company. I will be completing my 6 years on H1 early next month so I should have plenty of time on my hands. I was working full time in a processor company as a Hardware Design Engineer, most of these 6 years..but unfortunately my GC with them wasn't going anywhere so we decided to move from Austin to Seattle a year and a half back. We didn't envision the retro problem in the Eb2 category and just missed the bus as our PERM filing(from my wife's employer) was a tad too late. My H1 was initially expiring in June so I thought it was too late to apply last year when I saw the retro in EB2. I wish I had applied for my GC somewhere at that stage as I was able to recapture some time on my H and also the I140 filings seem to be a lot quicker this year.
But whats gone is gone....truth of the matter is that I will have to wait for the backlog to clear up...which could take years without legislation.
I would like to play a more active role with trying to garner support for the Skill bill, so please let me know if I can help with anything.
Regards

I too have a similar case
My wife had approval for COS to F1 recently before we applied for Adjustment of Status. She also got her F1 approval notice by post in August.
Now in Oct, when I got her I-485 receipt number on the back of the cheque, I went to put it in the USCIS site to track case status online. There I found that the WAC# related to her 'already approved in Aug' I-539 COS to F1 had a status update in Oct.
It says "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On October x, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I539APPLICATION TO EXTEND OR CHANGE NONIMMIGRANT STATUS"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder what that means because same WAC had the same message in Aug
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On August x, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I539 APPLICATION TO EXTEND OR CHANGE NONIMMIGRANT STATUS "
