Its very interesting to read about people�s different perspective about same thing we are all after.. lets ask ourselves.. honestly why we do want GC and I am sure we all would have multiple reasons for this in our subconscious but would not like to bring it to forefront because it would only undermine our own ability to fight it or make life more stressful.. but end of the day we all want this card.. for me I want it mainly for security and peace of mind�lets look at the different situations.. these might be extreme but we all might have thought about these situations atleast at some point in the recent past� .. and especially the people in the seventh year
1. You are in your seventh year� and you loose you job�.what is the first thought that comes to your mind.. I got to pack and leave .. pack your home of seven years and all your possessions you collected, in two suitcases of 50lbs each and leave�forget the Flat Screen TV,, forget all the electronics and the two cars you love ... just list them in craigslist �
2. You have home which you bought with so much pride�what do you do? ..List it.. make a desperate sale in this falling market.. loose a ton of money and leave�and don't even talk about all the silk plants..floor lamps.. the furnishing,, they are for the yard sale on the Saturday..
3. You have child whom you love and have plans for them.. love the school.. are an active member in the PTA � all of sudden what you do.. pull them out of school, move them from the only culture and the country they have known the only President they know is Bush and the only national anthem they have learnt is "The Star-Spangled Banner"�to another place where they don�t even understand the language forget the culture, national anthem etc..
4. Think about your spouse.. they have adopted themselves to this lifestyle.. probably felt lonely when you moved here 7 years but now like it.. its time for them to move back�why because your don�t have a GC
5. Forget the Golf and Tennis you enjoy so much here �it was all a very good dream..
1. You are educated.. have a masters, have a professional degree.. but have been in the same position and department because of your long wait for GC, what happens� the fresh college graduate or the dumb blond who joined two years back and whom you taught how to log into the network is now your peer and you are still on the same desk doing the same job getting the 2% raise and working even more hard..so that you can keep you job..with a new dumb boss.. who thinks you are so dumb that you have been in the same job for so long time..
2. All your batchmates are doing great..some of them are now sweating to be VP�s having risen by changing jobs �. You are still years away from that situation.. what do you do.. stop attending alumni meets and envy the mails in your yahoo groups from people..
3. Seven years in US.. you have made your professional contacts.. and have a social network.. in which you invested your time and effort.. loose your job in the seventh year.. and all these contacts are nothing but an occasional international long distance call in future..
Last but not the least� flight back home to your country is not going to be as smooth as the flight to US was seven years back.. back home look for a job..learn the whole new professional culture �and then set up a new home,,new school for kids�.why because we could not get a GC.. which was not in our control.. and because some stupid insane guy sitting in cave 10K miles away decided to terrorize the people in America in 2001.. and make life difficult for all the people..including people in H1...
We might all go back to our home country one day.. but the ride back home would be much more pleasant and happier of a choice we made and not because we did not get a GC�
Good Luck and lets keep up the effort... :)
First and foremost, if you lose a job, it doesn't matter what your immigration status, life is going to become difficult for you and your dependents.
I lost my job in the 7th year of H1 but since I had well researched and planned for that scenerio before entering into the 7th year, I am still here in a new job with an anticipated 3 year extension from 2007-2010.
If a lobor from your previous job has been pending for more than 365 days, you are able to port the benefit of the 7+ year extensions to the new job. This will let you survive the 7th year job loss.
Likewise there is a "best possible" solution to all the hardships that you have listed above and that "best possible" solution will vary from person to person and hardship to hardship.
Life takes planning, no matter what your immigration status.
My friend who is an EB GC holder just sold his house and took a $40000 loss. Bad planning on his part. Purchased the house at the wrong time and sold it at the wrong time too.
Since he sold his house, he is forced to move and so his kids schooling is distrubed too.
Its been 3 months he has moved to his apartment and his other half doesn't like the apartment lifestyle after having lived in a house for a year.
Did his GC help in all this???
Compare that to me, I am not a GC holder.
I am sitting on $240,000 equity in my house for which I have no plans to sell.
I too was forced to move due to a recent 7th year H1 job loss, and miss my boating trips to the lake near my old house. My new job is a 100 miles away from my house so I decided to do weekend commutes to the old house, and still manage to hit the lake every weekend.
My better half also didn't want to move in an apartment due to my new job. Good enough, we leveraged the equity in our 1st house & higher income from the new job to buy a 2nd house near the new job site.
Did my not having the GC hurt???
GC or H1 didn't matter, good planning is what has helped me, and bad planning is what doomed my friend...

siddar,
well said, you got couple of great points.
ashkam,
when a person applied his GC process 2002 EB3 with 3 years experience per say, another person 2004 EB2 with 5 years experience. How come EB2 guys is smarter then EB2. By the way lot of people in those days who applied under EB3 are well qualified and well educated. In my experience most of them are doing jobs that will easily comes under EB2.
The argument that Eb1 is preferred above Eb2 and BE2 is preferred over EB3 is absurd.
The regular yearly BE quota is distributed equally among all three categories, so then why they should not follow the same distribution for the overflow numbers?
Said that all BE3 applicants who are eligible should port there PD to EB2. Simple, when you know how the system works try to adapt to it.
Most of the EB3s who are in queue for more that 3 to 4 years may be eligible for EB2 porting (Assuming they got promotions and raises)

Ever since the Do-Nothing(Specially about immigration) congress is ousted,
I hear more about Immigration on various news channels.
This is a good news for sure.
Something positive will definitely happen in coming few months.

Yes. a law will be good.
yes now go do some research about how a proposal becomes a law! Signing a petition doesn't go anywhere, its just one of the many steps to influence the lawmakers.
On your other post, your comments are the stupidest ever! So please research before saying other peoples comments stupid :P

Maybe we need to make up a set of cards with priority dates for each EB category and have a parrot pick it up.

GO to Trenton DMV (theoritically every DMV), they will give you a DL till 6/20/2008. Due to these delays in H1b Extensions, NJ DMV's extending the DL another 90 days expecting that will suffice
Thank you Pappu and Teachmeamerica07. Luckily my H1 got approved after responding to the RFE in the first week. Hoping to get the papers by next week.
Wish you all the best for those who are experiencing this problem.

With all due respect, the probelem I have with volunteers is that I don't think amtures can pull a job this big, you've got to have profesionals, somethng like a compain maneger.
I admire the courage of your guys, and think the goal is fantastic. But the way it goes, I don't see how it can be achieved.
I've learned a great deal about immigration from the forum here. I very much appreciate it. I try to give back by answering questions others may have. I think IV has been doing a great job serving as that capacity.
But you guys want do something bigger. Well, you have faith in it, I don't, at least not now, neither many others. Maybe that is why you are still asking for money and volunteers.
we have professional lobbyists. and they cost the erath.
and that is why we need contributions. as long people "don't believe" we don't succeed. it's up to you, it's your issue as much as mine. professionals cost a lot of money, and this thread is quibbling over 20 and 50 bucks. anyway who is the knight on the white horse coming to rescue us? it's just us buddy, and we have to do our best. i like your analytical thinking. we need you to join in and help. any number of volunteers is less imho...

From reading all the testimonies , I didnot see any argument of unfairness to employment based immigrants.
Senate was interested in hearing the plight of a gay american citizen who could not live with his gay partner because his student visa was refused on reentry from Brazil and this gentleman couldnot sponsor him as a family member because the immigration act doesnt recognize gay partners as family members.
I suppose being a gay is going to be a much faster way to becoming a legal permanet resident rather than being a highly skilled indian immigrant.

Counterproductive? what are you talking about. If they want they can approve 25000 cases in one day. It is nothing to do with productivity. Its all plain politics.
I would let my application rot in USCIS hell than not applying. Regardless of what AILA says, I believe the verdict is going to be for all who is affected.
If they let us apply I-485 , we get EAD, hence the ability to change the employer after 6 months. Lot of us who work for Desi companies needs this.
I believe any efforts to make USICIS accept all applications can be couter productive. You can have some people getting stuck for sure for many years before they get their green cards. also since new fees kick in on July 30th, you will have to pay for the EAD,AP.
The law-suit can benefit only a few of us, so why is IV behind this.
Can the core members comment on this.
I tihnk all these efforts do not define a common cause right now.

I believe they might have assigned a visa number to you. Please raise a SR or take infopass and try to find out more.
I was current in 2008 and then got RFE for me and for my spouse in 2008. We provided the evidence then. The status changed from RFE to RFE Review on Aug-1-2010.

vinod,
Few days ago, the IV team was looking for genuine people who got their I-485 denied because of AC21 issues. You should try to contact them. They will be able to help you out.
Also try to write to Ombudsman of the wrongful denial. This is all if indeed your AOS was denied because of I-140 revocation and pending AOS after 180 days.
Can I ask you something? Is your case a labor substitution ? If it is,I know that if the company tries subsitute a labor for a person whose moved using AC21 for another person that is not allowed.

Everything from immigration to foreign policy to war to world relations etc. is done in the interest of capitalism, not in the interest of immigrants, citizens or other countries.
This is a country where capitalism is practiced at its extreme....
The drawbacks of capitalism are also seen here in their extremes....
Exactly when people get into situations like what 'desibechara' described, the socialist healthcare system of Canada scores big way!
Through my 3 year stay in Canada, I was made to pay 43% of my income as income tax - a lot of people around me would grumble about that, but I for once, have never felt bad about having to pay such high taxes in the interest of a socialist healthcare system...
It gives such a peace of mind knowing that one never has to worry about getting medical attention all our life...irrespective of our job situation....stories of people having to sell their houses just to get proper medical treatment are just unheard of...

I think we should wait for the lame duck session to finish, to make any predictions. Because if there are any new last minute stunt on anything non-immigration, then for the next 6 months or so for the new house, they will be discussing this new stunt. Immigration will take the backseat.
