Hi,
what is Technology Alert List ... can you please elaborate a bit ...
on a different note, how is the Kolkata consulate doing on PIMS aspect ... am planning for a visit back home and need to go for visa stamp as well - last stamp expired ...
~Sammy
DOS has raised its flags for any illegal technology transfer blah blah blah..
Here is an article about it http://www.murthy.com/news/uktech.html
I know a few ppl who got stuck coz of their areas of research/or job (Like Nuclear Research, Semi conductors etc etc etc). These ppl were subject to additional background checks which resulted in some extra delays.
I am not sure of Kolkatta consulate, but my feel is that PIMS delays are everywhere.

Great job.. Thanks.:)
Hi all,
Thanks so much for all of you who emailed and called to share your stories
with me. I tried to get as many of your voices in as possible, but length
restraints reigned, so I apologize to those that I had left out. Please
forward this email to anyone you know that may have talked to me, but
didn't leave me their email.
A quote that did not end up in the article, but I think you should know.
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, the chairwoman of the House subcommittee on
immigration:
"I have a lot of sympathy. I don�t know their names, but maybe I'll see
them at our hearing. To wait as long as these people have is difficult. A
lot of work and money has been put into the process. This is a cruel joke.
[To those who have been affected,] I am sorry that our bureaucracy has
dealt with you in such an incompetent manner and I hope to make it better."
here's the link in case anyone is looking for it.

I wish you the very best of luck in your efforts.

Guys,
EB2 guys( those who do not want to support EB3)::
What will you do, in EB3 shoes, if the numbers are not moving in 2-3 months. You got it. MOst of them will change to EB2, right. I will too. I am sure you can imagine the scene then. I know 8 of my 15 friends have already jumped to EB2. And I am sure they have much higher priority date than most of EB2s there. So you know what to expect. Lets ALL support for the common cause.
Sri.
I understand the frustration. Until two months back my PD was retro. Now, I already have my GC on my EB2-NIW I-140 and also had an approved EB1-OR I-140 recently. I am not here to suggest anyone shouldn't do what they think is best for them.
My own understanding of the law is that EB1 gets the left over EB5, EB2 gets the unused numbers from EB1 and the EB5 that went into EB1 but unused. EB3 gets the unused numbers from EB2 and those from EB1+EB5 unused by EB2. This maintains the preference categories (USCIS's definition, I am not saying EB2 is better than EB3).
No matter how the numbers are distributed, there is more demand than supply. It is unlikely all the unused EB1 and EB2 ROW numbers would fall to EB3 ROW and then to EB3-C/I. Some would surely go to EB2-C/I. Right now everyone is retro except EB1 and EB2 ROW. So, redistribution doesn't fix the problem just redistributes the retrogression.
If we can get the recapture and elimination of country ceiling then everybody benefits. The fact that we have an immigration bill is in itself quite something.
No matter how USCIS or DOS allocates the numbers, there will be backlog and its in everyone's interest whether C/I or ROW to think about pushing for the immigration reform bills.

Do you have a question, comment, or give info about a previous post.
I don't mind, you just copied my post from another thread (minus the links).
What are you tryiing to say?
His point is to keep documents ready in case you can replace the ones sent by your lawyer (paralegal really does that) whcih is often rife with errors.
Plus its easier to spot errors in your lawyer's work if you have correctly filled forms to compare them with.

Man this is Federal government dude and more over part of DHS. This is not a privately owned corrupted company where they can dick around with people.
This is nothing new, things like this happen in almost all parts of the world. Remember Enron, one fine morning thousands of people found that their life savings or retirment savings got wiped out clean with nothing to fall back on. Same could be said of about a lot of dot com millionaires. Life is very very unfair, what other explanation do we have other than that.

always amazes me how so many folks depend upon these immigration attorney websites and get disappointed...we are better off supporting IV advocacy and get first hand information on what is going on in DC, USCIS and DOS.
This is not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time these AILA folks generate sensational news! Help IV to help you!

Guys the race is on! Anti immigrants are onto our campaign. see this link!

Are you ready for the showdown? Lets send as many letters as we can!!
I don't understand where is the conflict here. The website above - ALIPAC - is "Americans for Legal Immigration". From what I read in their website, they want to stop illegal immigration and they support legal immigration. Unless they have a hidden agenda, they should be supporting IV's letter campaign.
How is this in conflict? Am I missing something?

Following-up ----------------------------------------are used. However, a rapid advance could spur a surge in demand that could impact the cut-off dates later in the year. The May Visa Bulletin, --------------of the year.
Is that mean they are going to move the PDs much further and again move back during the end of the year!!
So isn't this implying that the PDs will advance very very further than the available visa numbers!!!!!!!!!!

One way "in which we can get more people involved on IV" is to remove some of the barriers to such participation. And the infamous red/green thingie comes to my mind.
Any updates on when IV is going to get rid of the red/green dot thingie?
I think we are making a big deal of red and green dots. It is only in recent times that people are complaining so much about misuse. We can get rid of it, but then moderation will be tough. I do not think that is the reason for not participating. We do not have much awareness about IV in the community. When we say half million applications are pending, why are we not getting those on IV?
We need help in raising awareness about this cause in the community. Let us make that as the first action item this new year. All members can take initiatives and help. It does not cost any money and IV is not asking any money. We just need more participation.

I am on H1/EAD and own a home. Lenders don't deny you a loan solely based on your visa status. Some think its too risky to own a home before getting a green card. I think this is a personal choice you make based on your comfort level. IMHO, we should keep the home ownership out of this. If we include things that are simply not true, it will only make our letter(s) less credible.
guys, these were just examble of personal blurbs. Please feel free to make it your own. However, I have heard of one case right now because of the subprime mess where the lender did not go ahead with the loan because of the risk. i am not saying there arent any banks out there where you wont get a loan, but some banks are switching gears and making really safe loans compared to their risk taking ability a few yrs back.

I will participate in this wholeheartedly. One suggestion to the admin: perhaps we can post this in other websites also like ? I know a lot of people use that site for posting problems etc and whoever is not in IV might also get to know about it.
Good idea. Please feel free to post this information to as many websites, forums and blogs as possible. Please do not restrict yourself to websites in english language. If you know of websites in other languages frequented by EB immigrants, please post this information. The mantra for success in this effort is getting as many letters as we can.

An article in news talking about immigrtion reform bill:
http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2006/01/16/focus5.html?from_rss=1
The gist of it below:
Employers concerned about access to foreign-born talent at the higher-skill end of the scale may also find that the New Year brings good news, of a sort. If the border security and guest worker issues are dealt with early in the year, some in Congress are evidently preparing to try and "fix" the employment-based immigration system, originally designed in 1952, which has become close to unworkable.
However, a Congress fractured on immigration policy most likely lacks the political will to fully reengineer the system. Instead of a major renovation to make the U.S. competitive in the global market for highly skilled talent, there probably will be only the usual technical fixes around the edges.

The 5000 minute limit is phrased as "consistent with residential use" term in the Terms and Conditions. CS is often clueless.
For more details - look at the chat transcript I posted in the fatwallet forums Chat Tanscript - Look at the 8th post in this page (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/946947/?start=120).
Or - even better - look at the original Terms and Conditions (http://www.vonage.com/tos/#SERVICE). The relevant section is section 5.4, named "Inconsistent with Normal Use".
puddonhead - you are right, there is a limit of 5K for residential plans....it's clearly mentioned in Terms and Conditions (5.4)...I also spoke to them and confirmed me the same..

I have read it in Ron Gotcher's forum that what Sept bulletin talked about was only for Mexico and people should not mix it with EB-3 India. Also Apr'2001 was the PD given to the asylum(245i) cases by the Clinton administration. But with dates moving to Nov'2001 I believe that hump have gone past. My personal belief is EB-3 India should go around Jun-2002. But In case it remains in 2001, EB-3 Indians should take some drastic decisions. You may call me pessimist but I don't see any help coming from the congress, rather there could be some weird irrational decisions which could leave us paralysed. There are more foes than friends in the congress and lawmakers do what there pupil tells them to do. Right now the under current in US is anti immigrant..
Here's a quote from the Sept Visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4328.html
June cutoff for EB3-I was Nov 2001. So worse than this means, the cutoff will be eariler than Nov 2001. And I picked Apr 2001 as the lower bound just because, Apr 2001 is a very well known time frame where the PDs just hung there forever for EB3....dig around in the forums to know more about Apr 2001 and its relation to EB3, backlogs, etc....
