Please DO NOT post the video on Youtube. I fail to understand what good is the video going to do - its another matter to post the nanny's pics and probably on Sulekha or other sites - I'm still not able to convince myself if that will be required now that law authorities are involved - but the idea to post the actual video - what the hell is this - dont know what folks were thinking when they asked you to do so.
Will pray for you and your family - May everything work out better for you folks going forward.

Cant repeat this enough times.... you guys rock !!!!!!!
I mean, its one thing to see it happen in the movies but this group has taken on Goliath and has won a major battle. There is still a long road ahead but the combined efforts of lobbying, rallies and the flower campaign (also the threat of a lawsuit, cant forget that one) has brought fruits to our efforts. pappu, Logiclife and all others of the core group, hats off.

Does one need to be on an F1 (students) visa to get an assistantship?? Can one work only on university campus while doing their assistantship?? If not where is one eligible to work on assistantship & what type of jobs are available?? My wife is planning to do her CPA on an H4 visa, can she work on assistantship while pursuing it??�Please respond.
I am sorry...I do not have too much info abt the H4 visas...Actually I am not sure whether she can do an assistantship on H4 only because it is not a visa on which you can get paid any compensation for work...Isnt the institute where she is doing her CPA sponsoring her F1??

Guys,
I want your input on a very important issue. So far I haven't heard anything proper from IV Core. We achieved the pledge goal. This really shows everybody's passion to get the real data.
We have couple of options:
1. We deposit all the amount to IV's regular account. In that case quite a few guys have asked for guarantee that first $5000 out of this money will be spent specifically for this purpose.
2. We create a new paypal account, get all the donation in that acccount and one of us get the data from USCIS and share with everyone on IV thread itself.
Please let me know your opinion ASAP. This is very important and quick reply is necessary.
IMO both options are fine as long as we meet our objective.

Hello Everybody,
This is my story,
1 - Came to US on B2 (visit visa) in October, 1999. My legal stay way valid till April, 2000
2- Found an employer and in March, 2000 filed for H1B/extension of stay. Lawyer at the time told me that since we filed H1 i don't need to file any other extension of stay
3- August, 2000 received approval notice of my H1 but approval notice mentioned start date of October, 2000 rather than March, 2000 as requested in the petition and approval notice did not have the I-94 card attached with it meaning they did not change my status. Appealed the decision and got some feedback from USCIS that they will look into this. Started working for the company in October, 2000. In January, 2001 Company received another notification from USCIS but I was never provided the copy so not sure what was the decision and was told all is fine but never provided the final approval notice. When i checked case status back in January 2001 it said case approved and approval notice sent. However when I check online case status now I see following,
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Cable sent to American Consulate or port of entry notifying them of approval.
On September 7, 2001, the appropriate American Consulate or port of entry was notified of the approval of this case. Please contact them directly if you need more information.
4 - In 2002 transferred my H1 to new company and got the approval with new I-94 card without any issues.
5- In 2004 transferred my H1 to another company without any issues and I�m with that company since then. They filed my labor, I-140 which has been approved and now ready to file I-485. Lawyer of this company wants to attach the approval notice of my first H1 from 2000 with I-94 card attached to it showing proof of my change of status which i don't have. I have approval notice without I-94 card from 2000.
6- I also left the country in 2006 and went to Canada for two weeks and then came back in the same month without any issues.
Current lawyer is fling I-485 without my first approval notice from 2000. Do you think this would cause issues or generate RFE for I-485? I heard that once you leave the country and re-enter legally all previous status issues if any are put to rest, I left the country in July 2006 and re-enter in the same month?
Please provide your input on my case...many thanks!!!

Now you are making me feel guilty (traveled in business class with plenty of food, water and wine). No wonder, I don't have any leadership qualities, (Never knew it came from keeping rats company and going without food and water).

In the very fisrt line of the AILA document it says that the counting is still on
From the AILA Doc:
USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that
USCIS will continue to monitor these filings.
That means - US-MS petitions on and before APril 9 are safe and USCIS is still accepting US-MS applications
Correct?

USCIS UPDATES COUNT OF FY 2008 H-1B CAP FILINGS
WASHINGTON � U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced an updated number of
filings today as the counting of H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 continues. On April 3, USCIS
announced that it had received enough petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year
2008 (FY 2008) and that it would conduct a computer-generated random selection of cap-subject petitions
filed on Monday (April 2) and Tuesday (April 3) to determine which cases would be accepted for processing.
As of April 9, USCIS has determined that approximately 119,193 of the H-1B petitions received on April 2
and 3 are subject to the FY 2008 congressionally mandated cap.
USCIS received on April 2 and 3 a total of approximately 12,989 cases requesting an exemption from the FY
2008 H-1B cap because they were filed on behalf of aliens holding a master�s degree or higher from a U.S.
institution. USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that
USCIS will continue to monitor these filings.
USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues.
Is this the final number or interim number while the counting is going on.

I am of the same opinion. We must make presentations to the Foreign Affairs Dept, Justice Department, Presidential Nominees and the Current President and seek from other larger Indo-American, Indo-Chinese Organizations to highlight our suffering. It does not matter whether we are EB2 or EB3 from India or China. What matters is that this is great injustice. How many members of these departments would accept living like us in a country like USA? Are they ok with living in the uncertainty like we do? Will they accept being in the same pay bracket or at the same job level for 5 or more years and that too is not certain? Can they keep their life on hold particularly in the prime of their youth, the way we do? We must remind them how many documents and how many verifications we have to go through to get to the GC (right from F1 or H1 stage). On top of that when the depts life USCIS which are created to facilitate Immigration, turn their backs on us, what does the US Govt expect from us? What does the US Govt expect us to do when DOS second guesses everything that USCIS does and readjudicates and harasses visa applicants through the consulates (with unending and unaccounted for visa stamping delays)?
I have created a spreadsheet with visa bulletin data for the last one year. Anybody with some sense of justice and fairplay can easily look at the data and say that there is no order and no justice for our plight. I created trend charts for EB1, EB2, EB3 and ROW but these did not get uploaded properly. If somebody wishes to try again and recreate these and some how publish them, these charts could be used to communicate our plight in a very simple manner.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pBRG7hWbHtzBT6rfrI8DYFg
I think we should propose to the administration that in view of this unprecedented chaos in the USCIS, DOS, the Congress (on immigration issue) and by implication our lives, they must delink the GC process from being linked to an employer and to the level/skill level/pay scale the LCA is approved for. By linking the process to sponsoring employer they are promoting indentured labor and by forcing us to file new LCAs/ restart GC process for each promotion, they are just being anti-immigrant and anti-progress.

Do you or anyone who thinks that backlogs are due to labor substitution have any proof to claim so ?
Even if there were some, they definitely won't be in large numbers. First of all to use a sub labor, one labor had to become available. Do you think there were so many labors floating around to grab one ? I don't think so.
How come EB3 ROW went "U" if all the backlog was due to labor subs ?
Well, There are many people still waiting for GC with original labor and not substitute labor with PD 2003 or prior to that. I'm not saying Sub Labor is the only reason, but it is one of the reason. Even though they are few...the impact is big... With 7% per country limit and visa numbers looks like would not spill over to EB3 due to demand in EB2 and other categories, even very few (say 3000 - 6000 labor sub applications) could consume a year or 2 years worth of visa numbers for this category for retro countries.... Even each family member (dependent) would consume a visa... with atleat 2 visa per applicant, 3000 - 5000 total EB3 labor sub could easily consume 2 years quote... if you count all.. then the "U" in VB might make sense... For EB3 ROW, there are lotz of people from Canada, S. Korea, Thailand, Australia, UK etc, and it went 'U' from 2003... The dates could move well for ROW... but for retrogressed country, I do not see the bright side yet.... Also the 485 PD was current for all categories almost all of 2003 & 2004 till Dec 31 2004, It retrogressed starting from Jan 2005 and later.... Also, the total 140,000 is for all EB categories. The 3000 - 5000 is just a conservative realistic guess.. not based on any data. Do the Math !!! You might agree !!!

Hello All,
i concur with the aspect of filling a lawsuit, as it will create more visibility and put more pressure on congress. As it is congress is under the gun for failing to act on a lot of bills. Even though if it does not create instant results, it will definitely lead to some type of change in coming months. I am sure if we all pitch in 50$ each, we can accumulate good amount of money. Also we can use Murthy Law firm to file a lawsuit. Lets not forget the amount of visibility Murthy law firm is getting from IV. If there is a law suite filed through them, then they also get to share the limelight.
The point here is, we can get a discounted price on the service, also Murthy law firm is aware of our situation. Administrator what do you think?
All EB3 guys, stop complaining about EB2-EB3, it is about EB community. IF EB2 get some direct benefit, then it will be rolled down to EB3 as well. Please let us not discuss issues which separate us. Right now we should focus on unity and creating a mass number of high skilled workers who can SHOW up on rally's.
Thanks
