Hi Guys,
After a long journey of more than Sixteen years in this country, I finally received my GC.

ICE: "Sham" University, Cover For Illegals - FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/28/ice-sham-university-cover-illegals/?test=latestnews)
Why is everyone blaming just the Chinese University for trying to circumvent the immigration system? It says 95% of the students were from Andhra Pradesh. These are the people who are causing delays in reforms and we pay the price by being stuck in the hole. The founders and all these students should be deported and banned from entering the US for life.

There are so many things not required by law but you have to do which if you did not do is fraud or lie by ommision. Any material change to your case which could affect the decision of USCIS in awarding you with GC should be reported and USCIS "expects" us to do that.
I am telling all of you, there is a similar case on going right now. A couple apply for citizenship and got denied because of the discovery of fraud on their GC process. They are now in "removal proceedings".
If it's not required by law, no court will find you guilty. I am sure the case you are talking about is not employment-based portability case.

this sounds more like, "Ok so you say the glass is half full, why is that great now?"
It is a feel good factor; you still want to be cynical, go right ahead, no one can take that away from you.
Yeah I get that the money will be transferred from the Social security system here to the Indian Govt system.
My point is it does not do a damn thing for us workers personally. That money will dissapear into a dark hole in the Indian Gov't coffers instead of a dark hole here, further as the rules stand, I have a slim chance of getting the money from here through social security payments when I turn 65 even if I am in India. Try that within the money in Indian gov't hands.
On the other hand, it makes the Indian gov't allign with corporate america, as they all have a vested interest in a Temp. worker program such as H1b absent green cards. Which will be a win win for all concerned except us.
So I repeat my question..................Why is this good again?

And if it plays by money may be have an auction for GC ... highest bidder gets it first ;)
There is a seperate quota for that as well. 1 million invested and you will get a GC.

Dug the hole for 8 years, expect prosperity in 18 months!!!!
we can argue both ways, democratic party was not rejected because of the economic mess, even today lot of voters are angry at bush for the mess, the issue here is WH is completely out of touch with the main street, why spend 2 years on health care when ppl dont have jobs to afford basic necessities, the less we talk about stimulus the better, ppl dont like someone who don't listen and arrogantly say what ever they do is for the good without showing any progress (hmmm, reminds me of bush but hell dint we vote for change?) or say voters are ignorant,
bush is not the whole problem, democrats are in the majority since 2006 and look at the deficits since then, wars costed US trillion dollars which is less than annual deficits under the current president, i agree he does not own the deficit problem completely but he dint help to fix it either, bush dint sign "glass-seagall" act which caused the whole mess in the first place, clinton was the one who pushed the initiative "housing to minorities" and his administration wanted to push it through freddie and fannie and the rest is history,
point is demonizing one of the parties is not going to help, both contributed to the mess and neither of them has bigger share

I think most of EB3I and EB2I are missing one point.
EB3I didn't loose anything by the change in spillover policy few years back.
It is EB3-world who lost. Obviously EB2I and EB2C was on the gainers side.
EarlierSpillover EB1row->EB2row->EB3row->EB1I/C->EB2I/C->EB3I/C
CurrentSpillover EB1row->EB1I/C->EB2row->EB2I/C->EB3row->EB3I/C
(or to be more precise, it is currently EB1->EB2->EB3 since spill overs are not considering country based limitations)
Either way EB3I was last in the que. So nothing changed for EB3I or EB3C.
EB2I or EB2C on the other hand moved ahead of EB3row, that is very noticeable.
EB1I/C also moved ahead of EB2row, by this is not that noticeable, since all these categories were close to "current" either way.
In summary, you change the spillover whatever way.... EB3I is always going to be at the end of the line, least benefiting from any spill over.
-Morchu
I hope once DOS decides to change the spillover and give the extra visas to Eb3 (whoever ROW , India....). The ensuing discussions from from the self glorified EB2 crowd here would make for an entertaining reading. I would like to see how much they enjoy the predictions after that.

what the heck happenned. The text has completely changed since I voted. When I voted it clearly stated the unused visas would be recaptured for family based and employment based immigrants. now it only says for family based immigrants. Have we (employment based) been shafted, is visa recapture for us Eb immigrants or not?

Great news. By some distance this is the best news on skilled immigration front this year. This will allow all the H4 dependents who have spent time on H4 for more than 6 years to start working if they get a job with H1B.
Where did you find this memo "the"? Is it already implemented or is this something USCIS is proposing?
so it is not a proposal and it is already effective.

Hi JunRN. After reading your post I googled if labor certification does have an expiration. According to: http://www.hooyou.com/lc/faq.html , it doesn't. Did you have to re-apply for yours? Thanks!
Make thing worse....your labor expires after six months, so you have to re-apply again..and again...and again...and again...and again....

Well.. it didn't turn out to be a major issue after all. At least for us. Both my self and my wife got approved in May. The first LUD since FP was on the day we were approved.
I do understand that 'not working' immediately after getting H1B is a problem and considered out of status and in addition you can also work while SSN is pending. However, most employers do not know about work with out SSN (pending) and according to some lawyers, we may be able to fight for this.
As I investigated further, there are so many people in the similar situation esp. spouses, i.e., getting on payroll a little late etc. Many of them for genuine reasons (though you will find fault with those reasons) and fell into unknowingly. However, most of them got GCs with out any problem.
The trick may be to put forward the documentation in such a way that it will not raise any flag. You require to submit Paystubs, w2s, tax returns only for primary applicant as supporting documentation I134 (affidavit) to prove that the dependent is not public charge. You need to make sure that information entered in the any forms (I485, Bio, I-134 etc) agree with supporting documentation such as I94, I797, PP/Visa or any documentation you included. If information do not match, it may raise a flag and IO may ask for more information. So do not get overexcited and submit only what is asked. YOU SHOULDN'T LIE. JUST SUBMIT ONLY WHAT IS ASKED.
I do understand the forms are useful, but I honestly feel that it is unnecessary stress. As I mentioned I was never been under so much stress as I was when folks pointed that we may not get GCs. I didn't sleep for couple days.. And stopped visiting this forum. Later my wife made me realize that family life is most important as long as we are together, country of residence does not matter. When our son was born last month, I truly felt 'damn GC'.. funnily got approved in the same week :).
There are few people who are truly helpful, but most come to forms just for kicks and show of their knowledge and talk/act like lawyers. My suggestion is DON'T HURT PEOPLE WHO COME FOR HELP. Esp, when there is something negative, don't try to prove and re-prove your point or satisfy your ego with logical answers or internet search results etc. This will hurt the person 'in trouble' even more. Just imagine your self in similar situation, then you will realize that most people get into situations unknowingly and probably unaware of till some one like you points out. Try to offer some suggestions if you can or stay away. If you want kicks, have a drink and watch a game or something. THANKS FOR READING THIS.
BYE BYE. Good luck to every one who is still waiting.

Jaime - thanks for your post. I am looking for as much info as I can get. I hear all kinds of thing about Canada ranging from very positive to very depressing.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "it took just over a week". For most of my friends that applied while in US it took about 7-9 month to recieve the appraval to enter. For one guy it took 5 month. By this I mean the time betweent when they sent the application and received final approval.
One more thing. Tere is so much talk about "low" wages, and I presume people are comparing in absolute terms with US wages. Are wages really low in relative terms to the cost of living or can you live decently and also be able to afford some travel and leisure?
Thanks

I have several friends who were waiting for GC desparately and they thought it was the final destination. They had many reasons why to get GC and once they get, they will be free and can do / will do everything possible. But, once they got it, they settled in a permanent job. Without GC, they were working for the same client with even more pay and life was good if not better.
I was thinking the same way; because I am no different.
Oflate, I realised, I am un-necessarily worried about something which is not in my control. I realised that I am well paid, with this pay even the benefits I am not getting are compensated. Why am I worried? Should I be after GC in order to get peace of mind? I started looking it little differently. I am in this country to earn more money and live comfortably. I am already enjoying what I wanted. Then, why am I worried still? May be it is in human nature to always look for something which is not in the hands.
I still need GC for other things like Children education and get some other benefits (our education / starting business etc). I agree, but there is lot of time for that in my case. There are several people who are in the same state as me if not all. Everyone's needs are different.
I thought I will just share my ideas so that atleast some of the people will be happier.
Well said.

Maybe he can come under asylum or refugee status; after all he also probably has two mother-in-laws there and that should qualify. One is bad enough, but TWO?
Its hard to maintain such a situation (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0205968/), he will have to make a call and decide on a winner (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207341/).

Though the website says sold out, I called just now and got a queen room for 109+tax for one night 17th. Thanks for the help.
I just called and the guy said he has the room ; he then started taking all my information and finally asked when I would arrive. I told him on 17th, 7:30am and he said " oh sorry we don't have any room, I thought you wanted it tomorrow"
So check it up again.
Also, if your room has 2 beds, can you share the room with me? We can split the bills and I needed a company too. I am trying to book a room but so far no luck. I still need to book a flight too. I am flying from Oakland on 16th night. Thanks
