Looks like this Sheila is in her new avatar, from 3 year degree people trying to make $$$ in others troubles! She threatened to sue IVians for exposing her tricks when she tried to advt her service in her posts, as friendly posts.
USCIS does not buy her evaluation anymore. Go to her and lose your valuable time and few thousand dollars in addition to your I-140.

All those who are questioning my profile details please check the public profile of mine. It has more info than most of you (Mr.internet) have in your own. To those who are calling to close this thread - Already someone modified the poll and added two new options, I won't be surprised if it is closed. If it is it will only show how fake some of you are when you talk about a few reasons ( not all) why GC backlogged should be solved fast.
Someone wanted the moderators to ban me. Tell me why I should be banned? Do you say you just want everyone to only listen to what you say and what you want them to do? You can't tolerate others' opinions and thoughts?
I am here in this country on H1B since 2000. I am also one of you waiting in this endless queue for my GC. I am also like one of you trying to get my GC fast. But I don't like to lie or twist facts for my convenience.
Thought for the day "Walk a mile in the shoes of an American before you ask them to beleive what you say"

Does optionexpress platform provide any special advantages related to option trading in terms of strategy analysis etc? I have etrade and I am not sure if i am missing anything
It is the cost. I think optionexpress charges 9.99 flat fee for any number of contracts. Most other well known brokers will charge some flat fee + per contract fee.
When I researched this is the cheapest I could find for individual options trading.

There is one more thing that not many people are aware of.
Let me ask eveybody. Even after all this, why are these Desi consulting companys successful in the market? They have poor quality product (People with forged Resume), they are not charging lower rates, but still they are able to put there people in Projects?
could it be that their products work for less? I am not suggesting this: just pointing out that an anti-immigrant will pick up on this to further his cause. anti-immigrants use all kind of stats to show that their products do charge lower rates.

In the EB base, only 1 GC is counted for all family members. How can it count more than one if it is a derivative of an employment visa? It might count against the Family base even though primary applicant is EB-based. Not the other way around.
If they dont count Dependents we all get GCs very soon . Unfortunately all dependents even kids are counted under employement category ..
One change - Counting a number for primary applicant can change thousands of lifes each year .

@vj i would surely unmask him here , gimme another 10-15 days i will reveal everything about him pal , dont worry.
@bugsbunny i paid about $4200 for the process , he said some attorney fees and stuff
Does someone have an experience of application process, so that i send in the right papers, before leaving here. i mean the set of documents to send to DOL, so that i do not miss out on something important which could nail him to the maximum
I suggest to focus on getting a job and you can nail him any time later.

I think if an individual had stayed for one year in a state, the indivudual is eligible for in state tuition, that is the general rule I observed in all the state I have stayed. My wife is studying. I don't pay any fee for her. The tuition is covered under HOPE scholarship.
My status I140 approved and I485 pending.
Can you please explain little more about opening your own e-business and File E visa. What type of e-business to start? How to file E-VISA ? Have you filed yet ?

Let's just compare it with membership-based organizations like IEEE, for instance.
You enroll/become a member, you get access to member-only areas of the web site, and plenty of other benefits to make membership worthwhile.
Earlier today I received a mailer from "The Club" (Commonwealth Club of California, iirc). For the benefits offered, and for the general spirit and intent of the club, I thought the $85/110 membership dues were quite reasonable.
My question comes back to IV - why can't 10,000 or all 25,000 of IV's members decide what we're doing is worth it, the access to information is worth it, the free legal guidance and advice is worth it, and other benefits (that may be thought up... for instance travel discounts, etc.) are worth it - to "contribute" to IV (call it whatever you will - contribution/membership dues)?
Next, of course, is the concept of "premium" membership for web sites like WSJ.com, or technical ones like Experts-Exchange for instance. You join, you get premium content. IV has much more to offer than just premium content here.
(As a sidenote, one example is members getting newsletters - online or paper - with expert legal opinions and answers on our most common questions. Authoritative, as much as they can be, with documentation where required... rather than spending 2 hours searching the forums and still coming up blank or inconclusive... )
There are other logistics issues that can be resolved, and *we* = all members, will empower IV to do a lot more by doing that, imho. I can think of 20 things we can do in addition to this lobbying effort - and we won't have to start a funding drive each time we decide to do something.
Thanks for participating in this debate and making your opinions known. Most importantly, this is about brainstorming and coming up with more ideas - regardless of whether we take this membership-only approach or not.
Ultimately, whatever IV is able to accomplish will benefit the entire legal immigrant community, regardless of contributions/memberships. However, the need of the hour is to realize the opportunities we are missing because of lack of resources and hands in most cases.
cheers!
jazz
I guess you are talking about premium membership like wsj etc. I am not sure a free exchange of ideas can occur if we put our membership for sale by restricting access to some parts of the website. IV will lose some of its sheen and I am not sure the tradeoff in membership $ is worth it- dunno just doesn't feel right in the gut

There can be several things that we want to discuss and share. But isn't this platform supposed to be for immigration? If we start discussing about Best phone cards, airtickets to india, jokes, unrelated politics etc., we will soon loose the purpose of this website and forum.
If many senators, attorneys, other aides visit this website and can find all this unrelated posts, we loose the seriousness and focus we would like to address.
Maybe core team can evaluate and see if they want to create a special section for general discussion that does not show on the front page. Just a suggestion.
This is not an attack on any individual.

These bills are the closest we have come to the recognition of legal immigration as a whole.
If you can't recognize and seize this opportune moment even now, when will you?

I'm just keen to find out what's going on, and to get input on whether the I-129 being revoked is anything that can affect the I-140/I-485. I doubt it but would like to be sure. And to share what's going on in my case with others where it may have more of an impact if their H-1B ends up being revoked.
Anyway, I doubt if it's anything that can't be fixed; my company is very reputable and our attorneys are already engaged.
You had mentioned in your previous post that your EB2 green card was approved in June 2007or did you mean EAD?
Am I missing something?

Since this discussion has been going on for 5 pages, i thought ill add my 2c.
Firstoff i haven't gone through all 5 pages so if someone already mentioned this, please don't jump on me. You can create an SBI account called SWIFT account. They will give you an account number and a SWIFT code for the bank.
You can then initiate a wire transfer from any bank in the US. They charge a flat rate of around 35-45$. The good part is, you can have the money sent in $ to your local account. They say it takes 3 days but it never takes more than one day for me.
The money is saved in FD as dollars and earns you interest if you leave it for 11 months. If you need to convert it any time, you have to forgo the interest (as with any FD) and you can get the closing exchange rate of the previous day.
This has many advantages
1) one simple fee of 35$
2) In case you want to bring back the money to the us, since it is kept as dollars, you can transfer it back without any hassle. (To keep it in dollars , you may have to provide this as a special instruction)
3) Folks back home have control on exchange rate, they can cash it any time it is high
4) Takes less than a day in most cases.
If you do the math, you will see that this is better than icici when you are sending 4000$ or more approx. icici does not take fees upfront but they always give you almost 50p less than exchange rate.
I have used this 4 times so far and its very reliable.
Thanks.

If you are not in india, then you are somewhere to earn more than you do than in india. So investment is safe if you can afford to invest in that property without a loan. If you are taking a loan you are getting ripped off. STOP there.
to me agricultural land is next to investment in gold. agri land always holds value(sale value) or appreciates over time. Always you can get decent return by farming something there. So my belief is you always get 6%+ return on investment over short/long period of time.
city properties are just a ripp off. So get only one property if you want to live for yourself.. Investment of say 50 lacs on a flat(condo), may give you a good rent. But for how long? and what % of interest you pay on that loan? And what will the aging affect be on that flat!!...
that way land | house is better choice!
To me below are investment items first the highest safety + return(decreasing order or preference)
1. gold(other precious metals)
2. treasary bonds../govt assured accounts
2. agri land(either in india or US, in is labor is higher)
3. city independent houses
4. select mutual funds
5. stock market
6. Condos
I concur. The order will vary a little bit depending on market for shhort term gains. But for current market I think this order makes sense and also for building a long term low risk portfolio.

Lately the members of IV have come to know that Aman Kapoor, the co-founder of IV has sold his house and spent around $64000/- towards the administrative costs of IV. This too was brought to our attention from a regular member like you and me, without which this would not have come to our knowledge at all.
So some of the members have taken an initiative to reimburse Aman and other core IV team members with the expenses they have incurred so far towards the administrative costs of IV. Note that the time they have spent and the sufferings cannot be compensated. Let us do the least by atleast compensating the money. Please do not donate directly to IV funds.
There is a funding drive in this other thread towards reimbursing the administrative costs of IV.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=10708
Could you please pledge an amount ?
People, since Aman and lets not forget other core members also who I am sure have racked up a lot of out of pocket cost we as a community should gather funds for administrative cost also. GC is not just Aman's/ pappu/logiclife and others core member's dream...its OUR dream, and its not fair that in spite of knowing the time and money spent by the core members we donot share the burden.
So here is what I am thinking, there are 21000+ members of which I think 10,000 can be considered the real people (I am sure there are more..but a real conservative estimate) if we all pitch in $10 for administrative cost I think it would not put any dent in our pockets and this collective effort would not create a financial burden on any of the core members.
Even though IV is not for profit, there is no rule which says that you cannot have funds for administrative cost. In fact one rule of thumb to give to any NOP charitable organization like united way etc is to look at their admin cost. Why not IV have that.
Any thoughts!
Lets not make this a core team fight only...people are jumping in the boat and asking all and any question they can..and when it comes to giving money they will say that..oh I cant no money...I am not a rich guy my self but managed to give $200 and now signed up for $50 yesterday...looking at what a lot of people are doing I think I might have to go to $100.

Why do people stay on H1 after getting EAD
1) Traditionally EAD was available to people who had a current PD, so staying on H1 for about an additional year did not matter much. But now if we have EAD and we need to wait for like 5 years to get the GC then the wait time is high enough for taking a calculated risk.
2) Cost is not an issue, if at all you'll save the cost of renewing H1 again and again.
3) I hear 485 rejections are very rare...I don't have any stats to back this point but seems like the reasons for rejections are such that a second application can't fix it. So if your 485 is rejected then you will never get a GC...again what benefit are you holding onto by staying in H1?
4) Do not forget that usually the attorney advising you to stay on H1 is also the one who will renew the H1, so there is a vested interest in his advise. I am not suggesting that they are necessarily giving out bad advise, just that we should not forget where that advise is coming from.
My take is that if you see a substantial change in your situation (>25% salary advantage, Starting own company etc) then you should go for using EAD. On the other hand if you have H4 Kids in school, have a house here or for any other reason not willing to take a small chance about the possibility of having to go back to the home country then you should just stay on H1.
