if you are a desi no reason for you to not know hindi mate....hamara bharat mahan
Well, I've got a few reasons.
1. I don't like the attitude that comes along with the people that speak it.
2. I just don't like the language.
3. I don't live anywhere close to a place where I must know Hindi to survive.
4. The Indian Constitution recognises English as a subsidiary official language.
5. If I have survived as long as I have without knowing Hindi, I'm sure I can survive without knowing Hindi for the rest of my life.
Thaai mannae vanakkam!

Just a simple question. Corporations are arguing that every year 100k new jobs are created in high tech. Even 75% of the new jobs are for H1b then only 75k H1bs are needed. Even if you include other jobs teacher,Healthcare you do not need more than 120K every year Why do you need unlimited H1bs? Any pro immigrant lobbying group is not giving justification in numbers though everyone accepts there should be increase in H1b numbers.There should be increase in GC numbers as backlog had increased(But in this case also no one gave correct numbers based on requirement) but nothing wrong in H1b quota and some regulations in H1b to minimise abuse.
Another aspect is in the bill they gave 115k H1b for 2008. If they do not put restrictions your company cannot get any new H1b as most of H1b quota will be used by Indian consulting companies in one day. Do you think it is correct?
If not correct what is your solution? Corporation solution for this problem is unlimited H1bs by giving exemption to STEM and US master degree holders from H1b quota.
I am also opposing the restrictions in H1b program in the bill. But I do not have any alternative solution for the problems in the H1b program.
Again, there is a common misconception that companies have unlimited access to talent in other countries, and the only limiting factor is the quota of H1B visas.
Not true, by a long shot.
To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field. Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies. But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs. Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
This is why it is in the best interest of companies to support EB GCs.
My friend Senthil makes the same mistakes (repeatedly, unfortunately):
(A) Assuming that "good" companies will not be affected by any change of increase in fees for H1B, since they presumably have unlimited pockets and unlimited access to unlimited talent. (Big ha!ha!)
(B) "Good" companies can always get to hire people in US if they exist, and the only reason they hire H1 is that they cannot find anyone in US as there is no one in US who is good enough for the job for love or money (Bigger ha!ha!)
As to the question "then why are companies not doing enough for EB candidates", I do not know, and neither does anyone know, truthfully. Maybe they are, but as someone pointed out, no single player in the CIR game has enough clout to run the whole show. Or else the bill would have been passed long ago.

You are right, nobody should force you do anything, everything is a personal choice, well only after you have attained a certain age (you don't have choices as a infant ;)). A certain person did mention that you like learning/ speaking english, probably even spanish (eventually :)), but you are uncomfortable because of the attitude of the speakers :), have you ever thought if your attitude is right ?, what make's you think your attitude is better / worse ?, just a thought bro, dont hate, life is too short to hate :)
Exactly...I was getting irriated when people are forcing and telling that I should learn hindi. isnt my personal choice...?

Thank you H4 for all your efforts. I had +1 today. Got busy doing the easy work of putting those letters into envelopes and taking copies. I could do this all day, if only TX members would mail me those letters!!
Cheers Needhelp! Yes the production part is quite theraputic :)
I feel like this week has been a struggle for people. Has everyone who wants to contribute, sent their letters? We cannot expect anything to happen on its own folks. If you believe in this cause, send your letters and tell us here so you can give us all a little bit of hope to take away for the weekend. Thanks.

I was also told that there is new law which requires that the PERM fees should be paid by the employer (around 5-6k). Most desi consultancies used to ask the employees to pony up the labor fees. wonder how this will affect the conversion process.
It is ILLEGAL for the foreign applicant to pay for the PERM fees or the I-140 fees or lawyer expenses pertaining to either steps. The Employer MUST bear all expenses for this process. If you have evidence of wrongdoing, pls report it to DOL.
We should not be supportive of such violations of law - as a group it is not in our best interests.
The foreign applicant may pay all I-485 related expenses - or a generous employer can cover those expenses too.

bigboy.. We need about 20 volunteers per state to pledge 200 letters each. It is achievable. But 20 volunteers is far from reality. That is our challenge.
Friends Please dont jump on me as i make these comments. I am doing my best to convince ppl as i see across to Join IV and contribute to our efforts. But i also think that every state chapter should allocate some members who only concentrate on grass root efforts but nothing else to track how many memberships and etc and those should co-ordinate with every state to see how much they can target and how much did they reach. I know this might have been thought by some others but just what i am thinking ?

My advanced parole is good till October 2, 2009. I have been in and out US 2 times, spent 2 months abroad doing finals in college. Am going to intern abroad, until October 28th.
Q1: What is the best date to reenter the US and renew advanced parole? Do I need to be in the US to renew AP?
Q2: How long do I need to stay in US after sending in my renewal? Do I need to wait the 3 months to get the new parole?
Thank you

Congratulations to everyone whose dates have become current. To all gurus. I wanted to know as to how does it work when it comes to procesing I - 485, what dates are important is it the filing date, or the Priority date? If two people file at same time with different priority dates who gets priority, one with earlier priority date or one with earlier reciept notice date or will the cases be treated at same level.

Don't you guys think there is no spark anymore in IV? Have you heard anything incourging from IV lately? Where is QGC or whatever there name is? Where is money?
Many many times members asked for update once in a while, but what u got , nothing.
Come one guys, stop dreaming.
Updates:
The updates are provided periodically on forums from IV core. We are currently working on the House side for pushing SKIL forward. There are a few things missing in SKIL bill that we would like to get introduced. Mainly its the 3-year extensions of EAD and AP and 3- year ext of H1 for labor applicants that is missing.
We are also trying to assess of SKIL in house is gonig to go forward, and in the event it doesnt, what other bills can be vehicles for putting our provisions like the S 1932 style.
We try not to restrict free voice and opinion from members on forums however, if it gets downright nasty we will edit posts and censor. But in principle we try to avoid it as much as possible.
If you have questions, and if you think that IV core is not up to the job and needs help or needs to pace up, or if you think you have questions for IV core, please pick up the phone and call the 281 number listed on the website's "Contact Us" and call us. We will answer ALL your questions as to what we are doing.
That would be much more productive way of finding answers to your questions.

Please and i'm begging you that please read the entire post and think for a moment before replying. I'm not in BEC, already filed my 485. I'm aware of the IV efforts towards getting relief for BEC people, I never disputed that. My point has been that the system and July bulletin is unfair (at least from one angle) and that calling it unfair/unjust should not upset others. I don't know what words were used by Bigtime and banning him was fair or unfair.
You want everyone else to suffer just because you suffered? or because older pd's suffered? life is not fair so get over with it... the sheer fact that you are in this country is a god's gift to you! So dont be judgmental about things...
btw my pd is feb 2003 and i'm very happy for everyone who will get the opportunity to get in the door!

Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...

Based on the reply to this FOIA from Needhelp!, it seems that we have a bigger problem than transparency.
They have said that country of chargeability is not assigned until case is ready for approval. However, whether or not a case is ready for approval is determined by country of chargeability. If you have 500,000 pending cases and dont know how many cases for each country of chargeability, then the only way to respond to a visa bulletin is to go thru all 500,000 cases every month, take a peek in it, look at the PD, look at the country and see if it is up for approval. I dont think they are doing that.
Also, if priority date is something that is different for different countries, then cases for those countries have to be sorted by priority date in different silos, so that when the next bulletin comes, you know how many cases are eligible that month and which ones are the earliest cases (from PD perspective) for each country.
