I see there is a lot of discussion about how one day GOI will have an agreement with US Govt and we will all get benefits of all social security taxes paid. I don't see that happening because India doesn't have a social security system! US does have social security agreements with a lot of countries but those countries have social security programs. US transfers credits and the other govt has to take care of the details. Also, these agreements are always bilateral. India would have to offer some sort of social security or something in return to US nationals working there. I wouldn't get my hopes high about getting social security money if you leave the US before getting 40 credits. In fact even if you do gather the credits ... by the time you become eligible in 30 years things could be drastically different and you may not get a single penny out of it.

My PD is years after you folks.. just wanted to wish you good luck!
Calling all EB3 INDIA applicants with a PD before October 1, 2001.
Friends we have been current since November 1st of this year. Many of us still have not heard anything about our cases. If you have this PD you have already been waiting over 7 yrs. What should we do to get USCIS's attention to look at our cases. It seems service requests are useless. They send the same old letter to everyone and thesere is no action. Whats our best options. Lets gather and look at ideas on what we can do. We know USCIS is so random.
Friends this is very imp for us. We have already suffered the most and are the most behind in dates compared to any other Category and country. We waited in pain and silence for years for our PD to become current. Now it finally is but still we see no action. Guys speak up lets try to do all we can. In this economy last thing we need is a waste of our 7 yrs of waiting and our files falling through some crack because of a random USCIS process.
Any thoughts, ideas ? whats worked for others and whats not. Will we get our green cards while we are still alive ????????

This is my first post so forgive if I am not in the right place,
But I have situation where in I need your inputs to decide.
I am working at a clients place and they willing offer me a full time position.
My Labor is approved Oct 2007 and Filed for I-140 receipt pending.
In this situation should I change my job or should I wait for I 140 to be approved or wait till I apply for I 485 , but as you know the priority dates have retrogressed for EB2 and I heard that they will be unavailable shortly.
I always wanted to get a full time right from my Masters but ended up as a consultant as I had to get my H1 done.
Please Advice!
I am asking questions myself. But I will shed some information that I have.
In my understanding when your I-485 is going to be finalized, they see if the I-140 and intentions to work were valid when ur I 485 was filed. In your case I-140 is not even approved...how would you validate your intent?
Even I am not sure if I USCIS would consider my intentions that I have stayed with the sponsoring company for over 2 years after filing of I 140 and more than 1.5 year after the I 140's approval....

7. Only organization FOR high-skilled immigrants BY high skilled immigrants
1. Most visited site by high-skilled immigrants in the
2. Number of registered members has risen from 50 to 25000 in less than 2 years!
This is true and the only one working actively working for our cause. If this organization is not succeeding to its full potential, its only because high skilled immigrants did not support it to the extent they could. Everyone wants to know what IV acheived - with $175???
you can get an idea of contributions from the ticker on the top of this page -
"Goal amount for this month: 10000 USD, Received:"
The illegal lobby is picking up an average of a few hundred thousand dollars each month - result CIR, Dream, lawsuits and support in Media and chambers of govt.
The other part is getting public support, which I feel we already have. breaking news (apologies to faux haters):

it is an acceptable proof, they said they have a rule that if the document has no expiration date, they can only give you a driver license with validity 6 months beyond the receipt date of your document (with the wild assumption that any I-485 application is approved or denied within 6 months)
In some of States they accept EAD also which can be valid upto two years. But any way it is pain.

Divorce in India takes a minimum 1 year to adjudicate if you were married less than 1 year. Otherwise, it is up to the discretion of the judge. Courts in India require a 'cooling period', with 'counseling / mediation'. Latter is basically a a sham.
That said, as a trained mediator, and negotiator, I would say ... a win-win outcome is always better for all parties. What happens to be 'win-win' is of course subjective.
Good luck in whatever you do! Trust me, things always work out well in the end.
It is very complicated to get divorce in India, if your wife don't file with you. Divorces are valid in India when there is no fraud and agreed by both the parties.

"Long Journey. Finally GC
by J2GC
Hi Guys,
After a long journey of more than Sixteen years in this country, I finally received my GC.
In short, I came in 1993 on J-1 for my training which took six years, followed by one year on O-1 visa and then J-1 waiver for three and half years in underserved area. Then applied for labor certification in Oct, 2003 EB2, through university, which was approved and then retrogressed. Applied Schedule IIA, approved but also got retrogressed. Got AILA liaison and Senetor involved.
Applied for EB1 and NIW in July 2008.
My lawyer was very much involved in the whole process, was very helpful at every step, and wrote letters to USCIS.
Finally, GC came in April, 2009 and received the cards one week later. My PD Oct 2003.
During these time, I actually had no problmes at my job or my my wife's job. Brought a house four years ago.
The main problems were:
Daughter and son could not apply to state colleges/ medical colleges. (daughter going to med school next month)
Got stuck in India for renew of H-1 for 2 months!!! (worst time of my life, with my wife and kids in US) I tied every thing from writing letters to calling Ambasador. Not effective.
Could not go to certain occasions, like death of very close family members, weddings etc.
However, I kept my cool and prayed and got lot of support from Immigration voice.
As a small token of appreciation, I am donating $500 .(and will keep on supporting)
We all are going to get GC, some sooner some later. Just keep on doing you job.
Thanks you all for all the information and support.
J2GC (J-1 visa to GC)"
Congratulations !
To others,
How about if IV publishes his brief story( off course with his permission), congratulating him on IV behalf, in all national news paper ( with or w.o his name ) Date of entry, profession, long time wait- reasons and all opportunities he may have missed, couldn't buy house, collage-tution probelms etc and all struggles he has his family might have faced. point by point.
Money would come from special campaign. NY TIMES, USA TODAY, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Miami Herald etc. News paper industry is struggling so won't cost much to buy a half/quarter page with a title - " An untold story of legal immigration" Or similar kind of eye catching title. Not more than 10-12 lines stating thousands others are waiting in line...
There won't be difficult to get more his kind of cases to run it on regular basis in future.
Any one ?

Indeed if the major concern is the displacement of US workers and outsourcing, the Senator's should also send their questionnaire to companies such as Accenture (essentially a foreign corporation (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d03194r.pdf)) and IBM Global Consulting among many other companies.
http://www.truthout.org/mm_01/4.dnc.gop.tax.report.pdf
Many of these corporations lobbying against cracking down on corporate expatriates and seeking to enjoy the tax breaks in moving offshore have been funneling campaign contributions to Republican federal candidates and parties. As the table on the previous page shows, Accenture contributed $237,584 (69% to the GOP) in the 2000 elections, and $207,081 (62% to Republicans) so far for the 2002 elections. Pricewaterhouse Coopers contributed more than $1.1 million (76% to Republicans), and more than $500,000 (81% to the GOP) already for the 2002 elections. Overall, these companies contributed nearly $2 million in 2000, with nearly another million thus far in 2002 – more than three-quarters going to GOP federal campaigns. These millions in contributions are clearly paying off.
Any surprise that Grassley received $4000 (http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/fec/?commid=C00300707&page=campaigns&order=TOTAL&cycle=2003-2004) from Accenture in 2003-2004?
So that the point is not lost, the two Senators should not seek to blame certain companies from only one country for the ills of outsourcing as well as attempt to blame the H1-B program for outsourcing when globalization is the order and reality of today's world. The fact that companies such as Accenture that specialize in outsourcing are not under similar scrutiny by the same Senators even when it is common knowledge their actions have resulted in the loss of US jobs raises serious questions about the Senators agenda in tackling outsourcing and in retaining US jobs in the US

I got a quote and passed the physicals, and only two months later was told the underwriter doubled the premium because I did not have green card.
could members explain this further with more information and facts if possible. we have not been covering this in our media interviews and facts about hardships we face.
infact it would be better if finance gurus and others on the forum can help list various ways in which h1b visa holders suffer financially by not having a gc.
- mortgage rates are one.
For mortgage, you have to shop around to find one that does not mind your non-immigrant status. I was able to get preapproved for a first time buyer loan with low rate. But I did not purchase the house. So I will not know if they would jack my rate up at closing because of my status as the insurance company did.

F1 is not an option. To get an F-1 you have to prove intent to move back once your education is over. Being married to a permanent resident its almost impossible to prove that. This is a very tough situation. H-1 and L-1 are options but that depends on her educational background and line of work. One thing i would recommend if you plan to continue your stay in US is apply for her visitor visa before your marriage if you have enough time before your wedding. Atleast she can come visit you if she gets a multiple entry visa. Once you are married you can kiss good bye to the visitor visa option too.
It is not advisable to lie in your application about the wedding. If they find you of comitting fraud they can give you a 3 to 10 year ban from entering united states depending on the seriousness of the fraud.

But when I saw many people complaining about why IV is not pursuing piecemeal,
I explained them about the Hispanic caucus and CIR.....I started getting reds
because of that.
People often give red even for rational and logical postings here if the information is uncomfortable.

The standard stuff line, I'd say is a frequent sign on foul intent.
If there is foul intent then "training" would likely mean the salaries of all your senior colleagues in the employers' opinion. At least he would claim some stupid figure.
If it really is an honest employer, he would be willing to modify or clarify the contract to identify the meaning of training as "elective external courses paid for by employer and run by external training companies or schools, at request of employee, for example MBA course.". Now that would be more standard, for example, if employer pays for your MBA course and you leave soon after completing it, then employers do often ask for the course fees back. However, if you receive highly customized (and non portable) training because you need it for your job that should not be included, and to try to require it is just foul intent.
You could even write your definition of "training" on the contract before signing it.
If you need non proprietary training to do the job you are applying for, it sounds like abuse of H visa, since applicant is meant to be qualified.
If there is foul intent then you don't want to be working for him anyway.
Maybe try speaking to any other employees on H or L visa by way of references.

Yeah if the restriction was for non immigrants none of their "special" buddies from gulf states like UAE, Saudi, Kuwait etc would be able to visit.
Many of those " special buddies" would have diplomatic passports, hence no inspection at the POE
But i think you can not practice polygamy or bring multiple spouse to the US on non immigrant visa
