"control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view. "
Another example, of an excellent quality "formatted letter" . Notice how the politician is ,while being non-involved, looking sympathetic to your issues. Notice the open ending, suggesting non-committed view "will consider your views". This leaves room to navigate the press. Not only this, the brilliance of this letter lies in, easily blaming the other party, for having failed you.
A bill can be intiated by any member, irrespective of the party. If they are committed to your cause, it only takes a few moments to introduce a bill.
I got this Reply from Zoe Lofgren, offcourse this reply was in December 2006 when Republicans were controlling the Congress.
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should the Senate Judiciary Committee's H1-B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can be of further assistance to you or your family.

It seems like USCIS is taking steps to up the revenue. I wonder if the next step would be to allow for 485 premium processing.

Obama declines using administrative action to push immigration reform
By Michael O'Brien
Excerpt:
President Obama suggested that he would not pursue reforms to the
immigration system through regulations or other administrative policies.
The president said it was important for immigration reform to go through
Congress, lest opponents of comprehensive reform use regulations as a
political opportunity.
"You know, it is a very difficult thing to do administratively, and because
we want comprehensive reform, and because we want the Dream Act, what we
don't want to do is give an excuse to the opposition to say, 'Obama's trying
to do an end-run around Congress,'" Obama
said during an interview on Telemundo ....
Obama has faced criticism from the Hispanic community for failing to follow
through on his pledge to reform the immigration system. He told members of
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) last week, though, that he would not
"walk away" from reform, and called on Republicans to join him in passing
legislation.
But Republicans in the Senate have appeared unwilling to find middle ground
with the president over immigration. The Senate GOP has said it would oppose
including the Dream Act, a piece of immigration legislation favored by many
Democrats, in the Defense Authorization bill.
"It appears we're not going to get this done before the election," Obama
told Telemundo of the Dream Act. ...
"We've got to build a consensus around this country," said the president. "I
think we can."

Increasing of visa number will help every one including who are waiting for I 485. More visa number will make priority date move. How come they are not interested?
Suppose IV decides not to focus on I-485 filing but some other issue. By this analogy, all members with interest in I-485 will leave.

Okay I liked code, contagious, and serif. Serif has my favorite palette of colors. Love the detail in the contagious one. Background is a little bland though. I voted for code though. Has the same colors I like.
All I got to say is Timmy Tots would have won. I can picture it now. Pixel font in the middle of a canvas. Can't compete with that. Maybe even a neon font on a black background. I should have competed in this.

People travelling to India, especially from the West coast should fly via the Pacific. Asian airlines such as Thai, Cathay and Asiana all offer better fares, better service and faster transit times.Plus these countries are not trying to fleece people by requiring that they get a "Direct Airside Transit Visa". It happened with my family when they reached the airport to board their flight on Virgin , they were not allowed.I then bought tickets on Thai for the next day. To compound the pain, Virgin imposed a "No Show" fee on each ticket despite going to the airport. I think it would be best to avoid most European carriers, if for no other reason but they offer higher fares, terrible service, long transit times and last but not the least; the scam of the century(Airport Transit Visas). What do they think the passengers will try to do, jump off the walkway and make a run for it so they can settle illegally in U.K!I think the U.K govt is running out of ways to make money so they have found the most ridiculous way to make a few extra pounds from people foolish enough to travel on one of their carriers! DONT FLY VIA U.K. PERIOD!

You got a success story in 1 month time frame. Be happy.
The documents being asked, all are always in your hand, just keep few copies and keep sending for every H1 transfer.
Hope you are not doing H1 transfer every three months.
To make you more sad, there is a change in the process (read in murth news letter), that all the documents must be attached even if you want to make an amendment in your petition. So, you have your name misspelled, date misspelled, birth date wrong, prepare one more set of documents for that too.

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).

The House and Senate get back to Washington DC on Tuesday, December 5. This will be the final session for the Lame Duck period. Depending on how much progress they are making, the session could last for just a few days or continue for most of the month. Here are a few rumors that we at Hammond Law Group are hearing could happen during the Lame Duck.
1. The AHA and others still are pushing for the SKIL Bill. Some have pegged our chances of getting a Lame Duck SKIL Bill at 50-50.
2. Others tell us that some Congressmen are advocating a 12,000-15,000 visa allotment for Schedule A visas. This would be a band-aid measure designed to get us visas until a CIR-type bill could be passed in spring/summer 2007.
3. Some GOP members do not want any appropriations measures � including the 12,000-15,000 band-aid or a more robust SKIL Bill � attached to any appropriations bill. In other words, they want to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) and then they just want to go home. The CR effectively extends the funding for the Iraq War into the New Year and then lets the next Congress deal with it.

I think you make some very good point about funding. I see some people complaining how a lot of members aren't contributing. I think it is plain naive to expect everyone to contribute.
People can be divided into three types:
1. People willing to fight what they percieve as injustice.
2. People who complain but do nothing about what they think is unjust.
3. People who accept injustice as part of life.
This isn't just about immigration. It could be any issue. Most ppl want someone else to do what's needed. They don't want to spend time or money. There will always be a few ppl who are active. If you belong to category 1, don't expect everyone to belong there.
The other aspect IV should consider is broadening the goals. IV has done good work but the core focus seems to be retrogression. Tens of thousands of ppl have cases rotting in BEC for 3-5 years they are not going to contribute to an organization that will put them at par with ppl who filed for labor in the last couple of years. It goes against human psychology.
Just my 2 cents....
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

Folks,
It is worth trying but from my experience over the last 3 years of contacting congressman's office....it really is not that important.....I have heard that the congressman needs to be influential et al...that's nonsense...the congressman never gets to read ur mail...it goes to an immigration person mostly a junior staff member and he does what lawyers do thru AILA to get info on the case...they can neither expedite a case nor get valuable information for you...

Dude the person apparently not in good mental state. People do crazy things with they are in such situation. Who knows what went wrong. May be he felt that his family would suffer without him and incorrectly thought to take them with him. He seems to be caring father until this tragic event. Please stop pointing finger and pray that god be with the families who lost them.
As much as I am saddened by the tragic event and my prayers are with the family, I still can't digest the fact that he killed all the family members. Whatever was going thru his mind, he was a coward. There was no need to take others life. I don't want to judge here, but I can talk about committing suicide which is totally wrong. He had NO RIGHT, NO EXCUSE whatsoever to take others life. Period. And I stand by my statement.
May be he felt that his family would suffer without him and incorrectly thought to take them with him.
You think this is a legit reason to take others lives? My friend I totally disagree with you. NO REASON would be compelling enough to take once life.

The only major issue I see here is "Reasonable notice period"? what is considered to be sufficient notice period? If they say it is 2 weeks, then I dont see a problem in that. Most companies would expect that you provide them with atleast 2 weeks notice before leaving employment. This is normal. But without specifying anything of that sort, it is scary. After you sign the agreement, the company might come back and say, the sufficient notice period is 3 months, Then you are screwed. So, clear those things up.
As far as the accuracy is timesheets are concerned, those are pretty much standard language. Since you will get your timesheet signed by your client manager and always have a copy of this timesheet, you will be safe. Also, tranfering your billing is always part of any non-compete agreement. Not just with Desi consultants.
So, the only thing I see is the broader scope of the reasonable notice period. IF you can get that cleared and have the number of days of notice period expected in the agreement, you should be ok.

Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..
:)
Sri.
Well the smart question would simply be a multiple choice
How many derivate/dependent applications filed along with your I-485 applications?
a) 1 (just spouse)
b) 2 (spouse + kid)
c) 3 (spouse + 2 kids)
4) I should get vasectomy
Peace. :)
