Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered

Why do you bring Malice with you, everywhere, seriosly how does your family stand you ?
I have seen your posts earlier, they are full of abuses, unjust full of most useless comments, let me tell you one thing, it is a very well known truth people who are most abusive on cyber space, are most fattoo & have been beaten up kind of people because they spend their life in threat but on cyberspace they become Lion. You are a typical Cyber Sher... But in real life I can guess....
mirage,
This is very interesting. "A friend" just sent me a message telling me that you had a conference call few days back. In that call, this is what you had to say, and these are your words and I quote -
"I do not have much knowledge of political system in US. I do not understand much of the politics here. That guy with a changing hat, sanju, he seems to be very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs. I will contact him to seek his help."
Now I am totally confused. In private phone conferences, out of everybody on this forum, you can single me out and describe me just a fewdays back as "very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs", but your post in the public forum above says "you bring Malice", "unjust full of most useless comments", "most fattoo", "spend their life in threat but on cyberspace they become Lion", "typical Cyber Sher".
Can you first debate yourself and decide which one is it? "very knowledgeable about the politics and current affairs" or "most fattoo"? :p

However, as far as access to some information and benefits goes, this can be restricted to members. If you think this issue impacts you as severely as it does, why the hesitation to ensure something gets done about it, and get regular access to information and benefits without the clutter?

I dont think it's a good idea. The fundraising thread demonstrates that we do have people who understand the stakes and are willing to do something about it. Ofcourse we need a lot more money but we should be able to persuade people to contribute voluntarily. I don't like exclusive clubs

Agreed getting a GC is a painful process not to mention the bureaucracies that go with it.Agreed serious lobbying is necessary to bring about a change in the legislative system coz waiting for years to get ones GC is plain ridiculous.But the idea of REVERSE BRAIN DRAIN is just a myth.I am pretty sure that atleast 80% of the people are just average Joes whose intellect is just better than those blonde babes of the "Girl next door" reality series.We should be glad that we were raised in a foreign country lest would have replaced those poor old folks saying "welcome to wal-mart".So lets stop talking about reverse brain drain and atleast not try to replace those intelligent ones back home. We being here is best for our country and our economy.
I am with you. We like to invent all possible reasons to try to show our importance to America, but it is obvious that reverse brain drain is not a real thing.
American will do just fine without all the foreign programmers (including myself) living and working in this country. They can find Americans to do the work or if not, they will offshore jobs. Either way, life will go on as before.
Foeign born programmers are not here because they are exceptionally bright, they are here because they could get a college degree and get trained in programming skills at a cheap throwaway cost, which is harder for an average American to afford. So the foreigner gets to write programs while the American has to settle for a sales position in Best Buy.
What America really needs; what they cannot do without are the maids, landscapers, construction workers and janitors. The politicians who have to make the decision of sending out illegals have to deal with the problem of not finding maids and gardeners for their expensive homes (their wives are not going to let them do that). Easier for them to let the illegal issue prolong while they enjoy the benefits of cheap labor providing by illegals.
The GC system is entirely in our favor. It really does not benefit America in any significant way. The fact remains that we still end up stealing their jobs at some level - whether we are willing to admit it or not.

7+ years in US
Changed Employer in late 2004 and filed for GC. So my priority date is early 2005. Old Employer did not file GC so forced to leave him.
Now in retrogesstion. Employer takes lot of his share in the billing rate. If we need to go for a good billing rate, vendors think I'm new to US as I don't have GC. Lot many Dependents after getting GC started working and so supply for software professionals are more. Demand meets the supply and so the billing rate is down. Most of the vendors prefers only locals. Forced to take job whatever comes first.
Have a grown up child and she has to start his school. Well educated wife not able to work and wasting time and energy. Not able to decide other than being in US. Keep reading the forums and whenever some bill comes up hope rises, but all now in vain. From now will not expect or believe anything from US congress/senate until President signs it.

I see only one problem in this logic! Many cases I know of, at least from the 2007 H1B fiasco, paid for the H1Bs through consulting companies FROM THEIR POCKETS. So to answer your question as to why companies would spend $5000 in anticipation, is that they don't. They take it from the applicant. (again I am not saying all do, but there are abusive companies that do).
No cap on visa numbers will never fly... No political environment will be conducive to bringing in unlimited foreign workers without any restrictions. L1 has no caps because it is very difficult to qualify for an L1 visa, as far as I know. If caps in H1 are removed, you can bet there will be severe restrictions imposed on other aspects of the program.
That's right. I personally know people who have been asked to pay INR 250K (About $6K) to get their H1B done. So the companies have nothing to lose. They just want to have an upper hand with readily available supply of H1B workers if and when an American client is looking for a consultant.
They do this without spending a penny from their pocket and sometimes even make profit just by sponsoring H1Bs for people in India.
As a result, genuine visa seekers are denied a chance to get in and start working right away.

I have not received any. Generally the notice goes to the employer or the attorney who filed the petition on our behalf. Moreover I have checked with my previous employer. They are suspecting the case got reopened because of the H1B withdrawal petition that was filed sometime back. Things will be clear only after they receive the notice.

I am a registered member not contributing financially so far. I beliefs are as fake as "reverse brain drain". I am neither fake nor anti immigrant. I am not a citizen of the USA nor a permanent member to be anti immigrant. But I always like to try and see if I can walk a mile in their shoes before making tall claims about anything. I beleive the USA govt will really stop the reverse brain drain if it is that big an issue for them without even we trying to tell them.
Are you going back to your home country?
If yes, let us all know when?
Please also post your name and address and we will all come for your farewell party or organize it for you We will also invite media to record it. Once you do it, a lot of people may follow you as an example. But we need someone to start. No better person than you who came up with this idea.
How does that sound as an idea?
BTW I fully believe that you are a fake member. Only fake members or anti-immigrants with fake emails and incomplete profiles post use useless threads. The reason is that they are scared. I hope you are none of those.

Hello I got a yellow form 221(g) during my interview. Got my passport and approval back during the interview.
Are other people in PIMS getting this yellow form/ 221(g) stating that "when administrative processing is completed in your case we will contact you"?
This will allow me to decide if I am stuck in PIMS or something else.
**** 28 days since interview, visa approved today****
Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, lost_in_gc, and all eligible visa aspirants:
I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
should be receiving your passport/visa soon.
Visa Information Unit
American Consulate General
Chennai 600006, India
Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
Fax: 91 44 2811 2027
Website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov"
This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.
Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."
Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.
God bless you all.

No, EB3 ROW can use all the available EB3 ROW numbers. But the unused EB2 (ROW/Mex/Phil) have been distributed to the oversubscribed countries.
That's how I interpret that.
The popular belief was that the unused EB2 ROW would first go EB3 ROW but according to this they actually go to the oversubscribed countries in the same category (EB2)
does this mean that EB3 ROW can't use all available visa for 3rd qtr that is why there were visas available for India EB2 (hence the established cutoff date of Dec 2003). but this should only happen if EB3 ROW is current but it is not.
this does not make sense. anybody????
Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual �per-country� limit. It has been determined that based on the current level of demand being received, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices, there would be otherwise unused numbers in the Employment Second preference category. As a result, numbers have once again become available to the India Employment Second preference category. The rate of number use in the Employment Second preference category will continue to be monitored, and it may be necessary to make adjustments should the level of demand increase substantially.

Let us all have a rally to move back to our countries on 4July2008 to symbolically show that we want our Freedom and Independence and never return back.
If all the articles about reverse brain drain we are reading about is true they would do something to solve this GC situation. Otherwise the anti-immigrants will come to see us off while we depart this country and never to return back as H1B's trying to get GC's and live here. This will go into history, 30yrs from now and our grandchildren will read about it. And may be we will get some special pension at our home countries for returning back and helping it to do better.
Please take the poll to indicate if you would participate in this QUIT AMERICA MOVEMENT FOR OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
I don't want to discourage you... but sorry i have to say this :D... I really hope you set an example by going back, but your blatantly obvious lack of intellectual acuity will not result in any brain drain... so the net result of you going back would be a simple one i.e one less in the line for GC ;) (not sure if you have dependents - actually not sure if you are waiting for GC)
Good luck with your (perhaps short sited) future endeavors, do keep a log of your journey I will definitely read it :) start a blog... ;)
