There is a different visa category for australians called E1, only THOSE ppl's spouses can work. If an australian is on an H1 his wife cannot work on an H4 either.
In that case you also have to argue, why H4's cant work but L2's can? :)
The Australian visa is called E3, not E1. E3 is like a simplified H1B that can be renewed indefinitely and yes, dependents can work anywhere. The filing process is quick and inexpensive. There is a quota of 10,000 per year, not including dependents. Given that Australia only uses a few thousand H1's a year, this is a very attractive visa.
In the Australian press it was implied that the US govt passed the E3 visa as payback for Australia's support in the Iraq war. Originally it was supposed to be part of a free trade agreement.

A question for you: I know you will get married if you are not now and may have one kid at least at age 35. What will you be doing if you are here then without filing for 485. Will you have the same LEVEL of optimistic thinking? Answer honestly.
Then he has to change his ID from rpatel to GCBy2013:eek: and he will be stuck with the same employer:eek: but I feel that he will still be optimistic until he turns 47;)
No offense, just wanted to lighten up the mood of you guys. Let's all agree on the year 2007 to end this mess.

I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?
What Logiclife means here is that this amendment will fail to have enough support as it contains a provision for MORE H1-B's.

Here you go: Don't let anti-immigrants have the last say! It's within your power to make your voice heard, just like they make their voices heard every day. Why should only they speak, while we remain in silence? Think about it. Is your green card important to you? Think about it some more. Now, make your arrangements to join us in DC!!! You still have time, and we will help you with travel funds!!

Do you guys think its worthwhile to go back instead of trying waiting for the retrogression to end. From the looks of it, i doubt there is any chance of an immigration bill before the elections. if there is no bill then we will end up waiting for 8-10 years for the dates to be current.
if they remove the US masters from the quota, imagine the rush it will cause in the universities, effectively it will imply that you will get a green card after you study for 2 years in US. take a 20-40k loan and get a GC. There is no country quota for F1. i had friends who were rejected for F1 because they were 'potential immigrants' wonder how this theme will play out in future.
from this shore returning back seems to be an alternative worth considering...or maybe its just todays depression talking.
IF the U.S Master's exception goes through, its pretty obvious that the DOS will tighten the screws on F1 Visa approvals by a magnitude of 100(unless F1 is made a dual intent visa... and that's like asking for the sky), and also USCIS will make in close to impossible to change non-immigrant visas status to F1( from say H1B). So it’s more than the 20K to get ahead of the line. The only benefit will be for folks already with a U.S Master's or it will be a new rat hole, fighting the Consulates/USCIS for F1 status.

..from any single state, afaik (perhaps with the exception of NJ, don't have the exact numbers - but in stark contrast to many other states... ).
Also note, the attendance at short notice for the SJ rally was phenomenal.
Let's just say Californians are more motivated and active then many from the DC area, and you can expect an even larger crowd the next time around, with better planning and more time imo.

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!

At my workplace, about 50% of them have have signed this letter now! This is including but not limited to employees with an immigrant background ( including but not limied to the Indians and the Chinese!)
My tally is now up to 253. Expecting another 2 this evening from a friend who got it from 2 of his own friends.
Recruit friends & strangers to help you, then follow up a little bit, it helps!
Exciting stuff. I am at 237 and there is a chance I will get some this weekend so I will take care of those last ones. Come on folks, please do the best you can.

Hey Risker,
It is a FACT that you/your class is more agrieved than any other possible class. But we need to be high on intellect and low on emotions. There is reason to wait till SEP. Besides although I am not sure but Labor and I-140s are for the Employers and Employees take over only in the I-485 stage. So we need to strategize instead of doing wishfull thinking. Its lot usefull if we be analytical in these threads rather than pouring out emotions.
regards

Yes that is true. They are lobbying strongly for H1b though they are supporting GC increases. Actually with H1b you can stay unlimited years if you apply gc. So there is no urgency for corporations to resolve the issue. They do not have fear of losing you as you are going to stay in USA until you get green card
You are right, but they do have some or may be a little more interest in the GC process too.
1) Because they are paying a lot of money to these consultant companies which they want to reduce.
2)Come to wall street, you will see so many consultants that are needed here to keep this economy running. A high number of H1-B will definitly reduce the price but still they will not get what they want meaning a permanent employee on a lesser pay. Tech companies cannot hire a person permanently because he is stuck with his employer who has filed his GC.
The companies cant continue to pay a lot to these consultanting companies.
Secondly this country should attract good brains, who might not want to come here. Believe me my friends in india are happy there and do not want to come here. They are living in there own homes with families, enjoying every part of our indian culture and are happy.
If nothing really works out here I will be looking out for an oppurtunity back home.

Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. part of the reason is that IV is originally indian club. we got the message but kind of lack the close organization.
anyway, I am also thinking about another rally.
1, it has to be on weekends, so everyone can come
2. it should be in multiple cities, from coast to coast, all major cities.
DC. NYC, chicago, LA, SF, houston, boston. reserach triangle, seattle etc, where professional immigrants lives most.
3. we need to make sure everyone will come, need good personal organization, not just voluntarily, we need personal contact, conversation, meetings ahead, level by level, to build a good "relationship" with each other.
yes, this is the hard part.
4. we really need to study the illegal immigrant rally last time, how successful they were !!!!
5. honestly, we didn't get much media coverage. shame ! nothing on TV, newspaper frontpage. but--- if we have a huge rally, everyone will have to cover us, pay attention to us. it all depends on us.
Love you guys
we should hurry up
Dear Elle, 谢谢! for coming and 我们来自许多国家不仅印度! :) For example, I am from Europe/Mexico (long story lol) We need to bring in more of our Chinese friends! What do you suggest? What Chinese organizations can we contact to join with us ad how to we best reach out to our existing Chinese IV members?

Can we all just "grow up" and get along ? I think only then we have "one voice"
sorry buddy, that's too much to ask from this group of educated illiterates, who talk of king and know that someone with the name chanakya existed in the past, but don't understand the concept of "growing up".
Every morning I get up, go to work, and logon to these forums every now and then. And everyday I see someone venting out at the only set of folks who are actually trying to do something about our issues. We know for fact that there is no other group who is working to fix green card backlog. But almost everyone who visits these forums never miss a chance to throw things at folks trying to do something.
If it was me, I would said - screw you educated illiterates because you don't deserve anything.
But hey, who am I to say this to the elites with highly blotted ego.
For few days I saw a thread asking this group to do something about the aged out kids of legal immigrants. I saw that thread for over a week and was tempted to support that initiative. And then, 3-4 days back, I saw a request for media interview from anyone who is facing "aged out" issue. And you know how may people showed up for the media interview, ZERO. There was not a soul on this forum willing to speak up for their own issues, but some of the folks in that thread wouldn't stop blaming others for not doing enough. How do I know all this, because I read those posts.
So in the end, we want someone to spoon feed us, do baby siting over us, while we continue to vomit and throw-up on that group of people every few hours. Yes, your question is legitimate - Can we all just "grow up"???? NO
