What are you talking about? There are a limited number of green cards each year. The US wants the best of the best to get these green cards. Therefore, more preference is given to those with a higher degree or more experience. What's unjust or unfair about that? The trick is to look at things from the American perspective and not from the immigrant perspective.
And for the record, I am an EB3. well ..the problem is by the time EB3 - person gets his chance --he may become more qualified than a EB2 candidate ..esp in IT. for eg -- tell me who is more qualified.
say a person does MS (maybe from timbuktu) has 1-2 years experience (EB2) ..and there is another EB3 person with 4 year college - 3 yr experience when he applied in 2001 .(so now he has 10 yr experience and along the way he got certifications etc) ..so now who is more valuable ??
the problem is there are (some have been rectified) lot of loopholes, problems, inefficiencies (and I care rat's a__ attitude at USCIS) ..how else can you justify the wastage of visas every year ..when the US needs immigrants just as immigrants need US.
now since we cannot do much for the above ..people should have this attitude (esp EB3 - I) ..don't get stuck in a hole and at the back of mind ..be prepared that one day (maybe 10 years from now in u apply today) u may get a letter (485 denied or asking you for a paystub from the last century) i.e. be mobile (don't get stuck with immovable assets)

After nearly 15 months, going by recent postings here , I was tempted to call IO to get any update on my 'pending I-485' . I happened to talk to a nice IO on my first attempt. She took some time to check on status and told me my 'name check is pending'. I told her on previous occasions / Infopass I was all the time told 'everything for me, especially name check is cleared'. She came out with an explanation---- your 2nd FP was cleared on 17 July 09 (Yes, I had 2nd FP on 7/6/09 as Ist FP in Sept 07 'expired' after 15 Mo validity) and that is why new 'name check' is initiated.
I can not believe this. If this is so, they may have to wait for 180 days even if there is nothing adverse from fbi and the dates become current.
It is very creepy.....
Please, share your thoughts if uscis require NC again and again for this never ending GC process ..
I called them several times yesterday until I was able to get hold of a good rep. Most of these reps are rude and they dont even care to listen to what I was asking.
The "good" rep told me that my case has been pre-adjudicated in the month of April and everything is all set and that they are waiting for the visa number. He said I might be getting another FP if it takes too long, but other than that everything is set. He did provide me quite a bit of information about my case, he told me that my name check and also background verification is also complete. He was even able to tell me how many EADs and APs have been issued to me against my 485. Hope this helps.

Interesting ritual one has to follow :)
1. Copy the link on your clip-board (highlight and Ctrl+C). E.g., the following is the link for TSC
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=TSC
2. Close *all* your browser windows. Perhaps you might want to open the task manager and kill the "process tree". But simply closing *all* the browser windows was sufficient in my system.
3. Open your browser. Paste the link (Ctrl+v) on the browser and voila!
They could be using some distributed web caching like akamai.
Cheers,

Reading the article I see that Neelima is, in fact, a US citizen of indian origin; not even an H1-B or GC. So lesson for us - getting a GC may be a convenience for us, but we are naive to think our troubles will end with it.Red neckers of the likes of Loo and his cronies arent suddenly going to accept us as one of them - rather, this is a life long struggle of the kind the african americans had to go through for centuries (and to some extent are still going through). Only wish ABCDs like Ron Hira realize that as well.
Yes you are right. We need patience till you get your GC...I know its hard but there is no other way but swallow that pride. Its very hard to do that..speaking of which this anti-indian guy who sits next to me at work was making life horrible for few weeks. Things are sorted out now... I have a great Manager.
I really feel sorry for Neelima's family... wish I could have helped them.

I think what Godbless bought was Universal Life Insurance policy where the Company invests in Mutual funds etc. but that has lots of finance charges and hidden costs. Traditional Whole Life on the other hand has no such thing because by law the company can only buy bonds, govt securities and Mortgages only. Hence the return on Traditional Whole Life policies is low (5-6%) but they are safe and do not have hidden charges and infact insure you at a fixed cost for whole life hence the premium never changes and policy cost to the insured remains fixed while the cash value is an added incentive for the long term. It's like putting money in bank and earning some interest but having a life coverage at the same time for not just 20-30 yrs but uptil 98 years of age. I have a few family members who are insurance agents and they always recommend Traditional Whole Life if you have good income and patience to stay long. For all other folks Term is the best but note that when you retire at 60+ and have built immovable assets then to cover the risk for them you need to have some Life insurance policy and getting Term at that age is like walking on fire. Nobody gives Term after 65+ and even if they do so then the premium is very very hefty which can be a good turnoff.
So, it all depends on your priorities and situation. 95% of US Citizens / PRs with above average asset values & income buy Traditional Whole Life policy because they are living longer and working longer and building assets well into their 60+. Term provides good & cheap coverage for young people but only for max 30 years period. After 60 + people are in soup again without Traditional Whole Life coverage.

How to find out the group that lobbied for this bill ?
Based on EB recapture provisions in this bill, I strongly believe they have EB2/3 (I/C) folks like us behind this lobbying.
IV can join hands with them and leverage assets jointly. Including call for funding to a larger audience.

Folks,
We are planning to visit India in Nov 08 after three years. I would be using my AP to return after 4 weeks. My wife is planning to stay there for seven months and plans to return using AP. Based on what I see on this thread, seems like it would be very risky for my wife to use AP to re-enter after a seven month period.
I'm still working on H1B and my wife on H4 ( although she has an EAD, she doesnt work). We have H1B approval valid till March 09. My wife would be re-entering in June 09. I'm in the process of renewing my H1 and H4.
If my wife gets her H4 stamping then she can re-enter in June 09 using H4 visa. I plan to re-enter using AP in Nov 08.
I am also planning to consult my lawyer.
Would this work out? Gurus, pls. help
Thanks,
gcisadawg

Best way to get more immigrants to participate in advocacy efforts by immigrationvoice.org for legal immigration is by communicating to international student organizations of various universities around virginia, maryland, washingtondc,west virginia north and south carolina. Arranging busses for the students is not a bad idea. Students once convinced why they need change in current immigration reforms for employment base legal immigrants will participate in huge numbers to attend the advocacy efforts done by immigrationvoice.org as they have more time in hand

Check ICICI. I think it is called a NRE account. You can fund it in Dollars and Rupees and it could be repatriated in Dollars. So just open the account and have them deposit the monies India, you can draw it here. This kind of account is for NRI's who earn an income in India and want to access it here.
There is a limit I think but it must be like $25K..
Good Luck
Two years back the limit was $25,000 per year. It seems substantially higher now. I did it through a one stop process at ICICI. Not cumbersome at all.
I am not sure if it is as difficult as is everyone's impression in this thread.
http://www.icicibank.com/pfsuser/icicibank/depositproducts/outward_remittance/out_remittance.htm
BTW, I repatriated money from a resident Indian account (account that I opened when I was a resident). I did not personally get an RBI clearance etc.
There were strict repatriation rules in the days when $s were in demand in India. These days RBI wishes there were less $s in the market. One of the reasons why the outflow is liberalized.
Good Luck.

WeldonSprings has a very valid point!
The following link shows the calendar entry for the senate hearing on "The Uniting American Families Act: Addressing Inequality in Federal Immigration Law".
http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/hearing.cfm?id=3876
Folks, democrats are really serious about this bill. This hearing is not at the Immigration subcommittee level instead it is at the FULL JUDICIARY COMMITTEE level. That says, they are really serious about this bill.
Also, in my previous response (quoted below), there is an audio link in which Senator Menendez clearly says something: This bill S 1085 is a pre-cursor to the comprehensive immigration reform. That means, this is like building a border, which is the pre-cursor that anti-immigrants are asking for. Anti-immigrants often argued that, before dealing with the Undocumented immigrants issue, we need to make sure the problems with the Legal immigration should be fixed and the laws should be enforced including border protection. Democrats are using that point to fix the existing problems of the legal immigration system as a pre-cursor to the CIR which will deal with the fate of the Undocumented immigrants.
So, folks even if there is no chance for the passage of CIR this year, passage of a PRE-CURSOR bill is very much possible. Now the Full Senate Committee hearing shows something - Democrats are showing the will to deal with this issue (at least at the Legal Immigration front).
Iron is getting hotter....May be it's just a matter of time to find out when we can strike.
There is so much momentum - I think, IV should join this bandwagon.
If groups supporting employment based immigration like IV are not there to explicitly support this bill, during the mark-up of this bill, our recapture clause could get eliminated under pressure.
The following two links show the amount of support from other family based groups:

Most likely this saga of retrogression will be decided in the next 2 to 3 months when Senate / House discuss the CIR. If by July end nothing happens, it will be a signal for us to leave. I know this will be a good news for some since the queue will get shorter, but who cares. This country "was" the best, but the next "best" country is likely to be from Asia. We all know it is either India or China...
