Isn�t it odd that the timing of your rally coincides with the introduction of the Strive act?
Granted you scored a point when you were allowed to file for employment authorization this July. If your one rally worked, do you really think other rallies will work too? The world of politics is driven by numbers; you do not have enough numbers to get any lawmaker interested. So wake up Macacas, admit it, you all are bunch of losers.
So far as the skills are concerned, you have been harping on the theme that you are highly skilled? If the definition of highly skilled is a mere undergrad degrees then 75% of Adult Americans are highly skilled. I bet not even 5% of you have PHDs and you call yourself highly skilled. Huhhh
And this for the leadership of your organization: You are wasting your time. If you are so desperate to get green cards contact me. We will see what we can do� One thing I believe though is this country needs people with leadership skills and not so called "Highly Skilled". So I will be more than happy to work with you. I am sure you have my e-mail address. At the least, I can help make the process faster for you, if so called visa numbers are available.
Can you let us know how you bought your scrawny a** into US?
I assume that you are an Italian. You people are a bunch of refugees who were let into US on humanitarian grounds way back in 1930�s and you people thanked the country back by unleashing notorious mobs like Al Capone. Just ask your grandfather about their past and he will tell you the filthy lives they endured in NY slums.
We came into this country in a more dignified and respectable way than you. We competed among the 65,000 H1B�s and were welcomed to work in the land of opportunities. Neither did we cling to refugee boats to enter US nor did we survive on meal tickets for a living. While we were shaping the Silicon Valley, you people were shaping the valley of drugs, smuggling, kidnapping, extortion and prostitution. All that you people can do is to eat, reproduce and talk trash.
Talking about numbers, there�s a difference between 10,000 pigs and one lion. And the fact is that the population of lions is always less than pigs.
Now that you know the difference between high skilled workers and trash pickers, get the f*** out of here.

Did anyone has got their names changed from the new york embassy.
scenario is as follows:-
Given name has both first name and last name
surname is empty.
I want to get it changed and on the embassy website, they are asking for an affidavit.
Anyone who has gone throught this process can they please share their experience and information.
Thanks a lot.
I would suggest you ask your father to file a writ petition in High Court or Lower Court , my husband did the same for a minor change in his father's middle name.I presume you are indian and Indian authorities have not changed they require a beat down in court then only they work that's my firm belief. In our case it was a simple case my father in laws middle name was misspelt, we had all the evidence they required
school leaving,college leaving,birth certificate,PAN card.
Passport of my father in law where my husband travelled as minor.
Plus we got a letter from District Magistrate/Collector
But still Washington embassy would not budge or entertain our application saying this mistake was not by them and i approach passport authorities in india who had done this .
Finally my husband had enough and my father in law filed a petition in Lower court ,it took a couple of months to get the facts straight ,but it was quicker than we expected. Got a court order attched to application got the correction done.
the problem is we dont approach the law thinking it is headache but the fact is that the issues was not corrected at the right time so we will have get the facts verified by someone credible and who better than law to verify.
And the plus is that no one can refuse your appication and give u the run around ( that you are facing now get this doc get that doc)
as if the consulate does not follow the order it is contempt of court or they can file an appeal against the order . My suggestion would be to go thru courts because the procedures for changes are not crystal clear

'end of discrimination based on country of birth i.e. .
You can call this also as jealous. There are too many people from the other countries will have to wait because not having people to mass migrate to US. Arguments can be made in way. So be sympathetic. Your issue may not an issue for me. Do not call it as jealous
What they are saying not jealous. According INA priority date in case substitution is the day I-140 is applied. Somehow the original labor date was assigned as priority date . This might be an error but is causing problems and Inconvenience and injustice to some innocent people. You can call it as jealousy. That is alright but they have an issue which they need to fight. However small number may be it can benefit these guys.
If you do not support them that is OK. The moment you start using the word jealous, anti-immigrant etc. it stops the discussion.

Wanted to find out about the visa options for my wife�she will be coming to the US on an H4 visa�can a company hire her on an L1 or any other kind of visa or does she have to wait for an H1B until the next year quota opens up�She has an MBA Finance degree from Mumbai university & currently working with a multinational bank as a credit analyst�Kindly Respond.
She can get on F1 visa (student) with a full scholarship (since she has an MBA it could be possible) or get an assistantship (that could pay around 2000$ a month depending on where you stay).

My 485 was filed at NSC and the ND is 03 Oct 2007. It was subsequently moved to TSC in Nov 2008.
So which date is it going to be: PD, ND, RD or Move date (MD) ????
As I read the thread above on the perennial point of contention PD or RD or ND.
Since I was contacting my local congressman and Senators...I got this feedback that my case is pre-adjudicated but waiting to have a visa number available....but I don't know who to trust...I am just not very hopeful and if 485 ND is the date they go by I have no chance and will miss this opportunity too.

Dummgelauft and Saguar, we all respect your opinions and know that you have a very valid reasons to hold on to your opinions. What I was saying is that if we take the majority of the posters who have responded / posted in this thread, we are seeing an overwhelming majoiry who support and /or sympathize with the pregnant girl. We are definitely not going to change our opinions and so are you. so let us stop this argument with a clear awareness that the majority of the posters are siding with the girl regarding the inhumane treatment delivered to her. We are not saying that we are correct but only saying that we are indeed the majority (thank God)
I'd say fuck the majority. You think we are going to believe something as stupid? If you believe so much in humanity, why don't you distribute all the dollars you earned in the US among the poor in India.
That you won't do. But you'll preach lessons of humanity to others.

So we're not really expecting a response???!!!
yes, we are definitely expecting a response and thats why we are stating the timeline.
At minimum, we definitely need to higlight with details as to how USCIS is playing with us.
Nobody can predict whether we will get a response or not. But, we definitely need to satisfy ourselves that we fought till the last.
2 or 3 years back, nobody expected IV to achieve anything. Look what IV has achieved today. It only happened through relentless protests.
During July fiasco, everybody was resigned to getting their 485 files returned back. The force of IV protest made the reversal.
I am confident that with lots of protests, USCIS will churn out a few approvals in the last week of September. At least, guys who got RFE can expect something. I am not one of them, though, as my file has not been picked up at all. that is a different issue.

Guys,
Please DO NOT vote "Yes" if you are not intending to contribute $25 for this cause. Whoever enters yes, I will pursue and make sure we get contribution before 31st March. Please make sure you send me PM with your contact information if not paying withing a week.
Please please please, do not put junk on this forum. Keep bumping up anyways.
Core, no offense meant, but please don't shy voting on this. I usually don't see core voting, understandable but keep this as an exception.
P.S.
Based on multiple IM to me on this issue:
I am trying to set up something with IV so that the contribution specifically will go for this cause. Any access money will be transferred to IV regular account. I will publish the account summary at the end of effort for transparency reasons.
Please be specific how to remit this amount ?

I can debate you rationally under one condition; the moment you resort to personal attacks I will stop. I will assume you have a fair grip of English language and decent comprehension skills. If you agree then lets get this rolling:
First off, have you read the link which I have provided in my previous post ?
If you did, then I hope you will stop making simplistic comparisons of Mexicans coming into US to lets say Bangladeshi's coming into India.
"we all know how our Police forces and other investigative agencies treat and interrogate the people in their custody"
No, we ALL do not know that. Even if it is true in every part of the country and in each and every case, it does not make it right.
"Just one hypothetical question for these people...What if a pregnant female terrorist is arrested by police in India, just before she was about to engage in some terrorist act in India itself, is arrested and is shackled to her hospital bed, while she gives birth...would all of these "human rights supporters be saying these same things..."
What you are making is called a straw man argument (Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman)). In this case, the woman is NOT a terrorist nor
was she suspected of any such crime, so bringing such hypotheticals will not give any weight to your argument.
What you are seeing is a case of 'socio-economic' osmosis. Problems of this nature has been debated across many nations of the world. How you handle these issues goes to the core character of the nation. Shooting 'intruders' is perhaps one way of looking at it. Then such a solution cannot be undertaken by a 'super-power' who wants to hold moral superiority in the league of nations.
A few 'simple' cases of water-boarding people thought will not have any repercussions. How wrong those people were. Similarly, police torturing 'intruders' and defending such actions does not make it right. It just erodes the basic character of the entire country. Would you want to teach your own kids as to how to treat such issues ? Shooting, shackling, water-boarding etc ? Please do not give a flippant reply, do think about it before you hit the submit button.
Socio-economic solution along with a sensible immigration policy has been found to be far more sensible as compared to a pure enforcement policy. It has been proved over the years that a pure enforcement policy which many nativists support to be economically unviable. Minutemen patrolling the borders to Gov. Perry's multi million dollar border cameras, have proven to be ineffective and economically unfeasible.
wtf are u talking abt? water boarding? windsurfing? osmosis? archery? shacking..:D.

I thought I will share this. Not sure if its going to help anyone.
Approached the entry counter where they give you token to inside and talk to IO. Surprisingly the person at the entry counter had IO written on her badge that she was wearing. She asked me reason to visit. I told her that I applied for my I-485 and have been current for this month , but have not heard anything. She asked if I was EB2 or Eb3. I told her EB2. She asked for receipts. I gave her 485 receipt and copy of I-140. She then compared my PD with copy of August Visa Bulletin. After she confirmed that I was current, she told me that my case is assigned to IO. I don't think she even entered my A# or receipt number. But I am not sure about this part because I dont remember the exact sequence of events. Anyway, I asked her whether my NC is clear. She then entered something in the system and told me that my NC was clear only last month and thats why my case has assigned to my IO. But this time she told me it was assigned on 8/8/08. She told me I should hear something soon. Did not and was not ready to give any time line. Also she did not mention anything about visa numbers being exhausted. If this had been the case she could have mentioned that.
After that I asked if everything else was clear, she mentioned without even looking at the system that everything is clear and I should hear on my case soon.
I dont know about rest of the stuff but I know that at least the NC info is consistent with the call I made to TSC few weeks ago. So I can at least believe that my NC is clear.
Hope this helps.

Here is my situation:
My daughter doesn't have last name in her passport. As I understand last name can be added to her passport at Indian consultate. Now how can we change her name in all USCIS documents - 485, AP,H4 visa. Do we need to have US court order for changing name with USCIS as mentioned by someone ?
Please share your experiences if someone have changed name with USCIS and how would that process work ? Does it need to be done by attorney or can we do it ourselves ?
Thanks,
I can answer your Ist half....
My minor daughter had same issue--NO last name in her passport. Her visa had first name as her last name too. But her H4 and all other documents from uscis somehow had her first as well as last name. During her FP, the guy at ASC discovered NO last name in passport and made a note in their data base and verbally advised us to get it fixed.
We went to indian consulate with notarised affidavit/declaration and carried our passports alongwith her passport and they endorsed it the same day for a little fee (I guess it was$15.00) without any hassel.
Hope it helps...

I was discussing with another member about contribution.
We have around 7K + members and there are more joining so if we all go on a contribution of $20/member marathon with the target date as Jan 2, imagine the financial support core team would have to approach QGA for lobbying efforts. Congress's decision in Januray or February seems to be our best shot for relief with all problems.
So, let's do it, its just $20 before Jan.2 ! Please contribute,
thanks,
paskal> can you please change the thread title to "contribute just $20" or something catchy :)

Is this campaign still on?
I did not see much enthusiasm on this issue.
Do people not want their files to be adjudicated or not?
looks like it is me and you only sweet_jungle. I will still go for it. I think people have either gotten their gc and the left out ones have lost hope.

Very well said. I have been on IV and actively participated in a lot of campaigns and events and interacted with a lot of people from different walks of life, different nationalities, different situations etc ... WHat I have noticed is, everyone has their own opinion and stay entitled to their opinion. Everyone wants to be judgemental through their opinion.
Now, lets all for a moment - step out of our "legal immigrant" shoes and step into the shoes of someone who has to decide what to do? As a decision maker, what will you do? Everyone has their own opinion to which they are entitled and thats whats happening.
Now, ocne again - step out of your legal immigrant shoes, and say, for some reason, you lost status and are deportable - what will be your opinion? Would you say "Shakle me and put me in detention center?"
If you are in poverty and and have no food for 2 days, you may go grab a bread from a store and run to a safe place and eat it - will you talk all these rules about shop lifting .....
If you catch a hungry child shoplifting to eat a bread will you PUNISH him? Ir will you try to do someting to make things better for him?
All you have to do is to come out of "the hate and hard" thinking and try to look at things in "rational and meaningful way"
Hate no one for what they are or how they are. Try to see if you can help. Just help.
I have been living in US for close to 10 years now and though I am proud of fellow Indian community and their achievements, I have also noticed how the community is divided and oponionated. Forming so many sub groups, promoting caste feelings, fighting each other, trying to piut down other fellow community members, lack of unity and what not ....
If everyone in this world want to be considerate and help - then there will certainly be a day when we can see a world without poverty, wars and all the issues we are having today.
1. " for some reason, you lost status and are deportable - what will be your opinion? Would you say "Shakle me and put me in detention center?"
What I and the majority of people in this forum do is their best to make sure they dont loose their status. If on the other hand it happens I would return to India and consider all options to reverse it. What I and majority of people here wouldnt do is stay here illegally. Loosing you status is not a crime for which you are shackled and put in a detention center. A repeated pattern of violating the law is.
2. "If you are in poverty and and have no food for 2 days, you may go grab a bread from a store and run to a safe place and eat it - will you talk all these rules about shop liftin".
This analogy does not apply to anyone on this forum as "Legal immigrants" plan for contingencies. Even if it happens I would ask for food as a favor from some one rather than break into their house and demand it as a right!
3."f you catch a hungry child shoplifting to eat a bread will you PUNISH him? Ir will you try to do someting to make things better for him?
We are talking about a 35 year old woman with a repeated pattern of ignoring the law, not about a hungry child. This is a completely false comparision.
4. "Hate no one for what they are or how they are. Try to see if you can help. Just help."
I dont hate them, i just think what they do is wrong and they shouldn't be rewarded for it. If an illegal comes asking for food, I am pretty sure every one will be happy to feed him. But if breaks into my house and starts raiding my refrigrator, he better watch out.
You are a senior member of IV and I know IV has concluded that any chance of meaningful immigration reform goes hand in hand with that of the illegals. I understand that, and have made contributions as and when i could to IV. But that still doesnt make illegal immigration "right".
Now, lets all for a moment - step out of our "legal immigrant" shoes and step into the shoes of someone who has to decide what to do? As a decision maker, what will you do? Everyone has their own opinion to which they are entitled and thats whats happening.
Now, ocne again - step out of your legal immigrant shoes, and say, for some reason, you lost status and are deportable - what will be your opinion? Would you say "Shakle me and put me in detention center?"
If you are in poverty and and have no food for 2 days, you may go grab a bread from a store and run to a safe place and eat it - will you talk all these rules about shop lifting .....
If you catch a hungry child shoplifting to eat a bread will you PUNISH him? Ir will you try to do someting to make things better for him?
All you have to do is to come out of "the hate and hard" thinking and try to look at things in "rational and meaningful way"
Hate no one for what they are or how they are. Try to see if you can help. Just help.
I have been living in US for close to 10 years now and though I am proud of fellow Indian community and their achievements, I have also noticed how the community is divided and oponionated. Forming so many sub groups, promoting caste feelings, fighting each other, trying to piut down other fellow community members, lack of unity and what not ....
If everyone in this world want to be considerate and help - then there will certainly be a day when we can see a world without poverty, wars and all the issues we are having today.
1. " for some reason, you lost status and are deportable - what will be your opinion? Would you say "Shakle me and put me in detention center?"
What I and the majority of people in this forum do is their best to make sure they dont loose their status. If on the other hand it happens I would return to India and consider all options to reverse it. What I and majority of people here wouldnt do is stay here illegally. Loosing you status is not a crime for which you are shackled and put in a detention center. A repeated pattern of violating the law is.

Pity on u man..you are asking the the lord..the supreme for a freakin green card..ask for something bigger:)
I agree ..pray that no one has to go through what we have had to go through and that there are 10 other dream destinations in the next 10 years ... or that china and India themselves become the best places in the world (seems like wishful thinking though)
