Thanks Bestin, for the quick update provided on the forums. Was caught up in personal work and hence couldn't update here.
1) Thanks to CC, we had a good meeting. Around 15 members turned up, which is a good show as this is our very first meet as a State chapter. It was a great success as an ice breaker and people could actually see the faces behind the ids walking_dude, cagedcactus, curious_techie, alien etc.
2) Sorry to have not posted pics and videos. It was the first meeting for all of us, though some of have been co-ordinating efforts online through phones and E-mail. Also some of us are prospective AC21 candidates (so you guys need to wait some more months :) )
3) Every one of the attendees pitched in with their ideas and experiences in GC process. We had a fruitful discussion about IV Talking points. EVERYONE readily volunteered to our highest priority task. We will be going ahead with it in full steam in the days to come. Modalities were discussed to and agreed to at the meet.
4) We got some more volunteers who agreed to share the Co-ordinator responsibilities with me and CC. We have formed a "Co-Ordination Committee" of 5 members - CagedCactus, Walking_Dude, Bestin, BReddy2000 and Ajobha. Committe will be dynamic and based on member choice and level of participation.
5) I understand that we need a more central place which will facilitate more participation from all over Michigan. We are fine with it as long as we can get some volunteer from Farmington Hills, Dearborn, Southfield etc. who can book us a room/hall. Without a local participation it's hard to arrange a place for meeting. Till then we may have to make do with our current spot.
6) I am co-ordinating with CC to get the hall Officially booked so we don't face the elements next time. We are looking at the possibility of booking a room for free ( a facility available to non-profit groups such as us)
7) Me & CC had a meeting later where we compiled Minutes Of the Meeting (MOM) and other stuff too! Like a new Secure Yahoo or Google groups for secure dissemination of IV updates and chapter action plans. Teleconferencing options, Outreach, member drive etc. It will be communicated to Core as soon as I can type it into a document (along with the list of IV MI members as a trusted list)
8) Every participant volunteered to do his best to help IV and the State Chapter in our cause. It was also agreed that everyone will get more friends, neighbors, colleagues and acquaintances in the chapter, which is GREAT. We have had a really good start. Thanks to everyone who volunteered full support and will bring in more members.
9) Thanks to CC for the snacks and coffee. I will volunteer to get them next time.
10) Most importantly - Thanks to Everyone who participated. WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL TOGETHER.

I like Singapore Airlines. They are good and on time, when ever I traveled with them from west coast. I never traveled with AI and don't think I will go with them in the future. I would rather try Jet Airways as I heard good things about them.

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding immigration policy. I appreciate hearing from you.
You are absolutely right that we need to tackle comprehensive immigration reform now. That is why I recently sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, asking him to make comprehensive immigration reform a priority. It is imperative that we have a workable immigration system that balances the needs of our economy. We cannot keep pushing back reform for another day.
We must be tough and smart to get our immigration system under control. It is unacceptable to have 12 million people in our country living outside the legal system. We must secure the border, and also require the undocumented to register and become legal, pay a fine, pay their taxes, learn English, and pass criminal background checks. Those who have a serious criminal record should be sent back to the country from which they came.
I support comprehensive immigration reform because it will restore common sense and control to our immigration system, so that we are once again both a nation of immigrants and laws. Without reform, cash-strapped local governments are footing the bill for federal inaction and small businesses are reliant on an immigrant workforce face uncertainty. Comprehensive immigration reform will help the economy by turning undocumented workers into legal taxpayers who are paying their fair share. This issue must be addressed in order to make sure that we have a system in place that cracks down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and ensures all are playing by the rules.
Our immigration system is broken, and it cannot be fixed by one small piece of reform. We should address immigration as a whole, and that is a primary goal of mine here in the Senate.
I will continue to represent the priorities of Coloradans and all Americans in a thoughtful and independent manner. Please know that I will keep your concerns in mind as Congress addresses these issues.
For more information about my priorities as a U.S. Senator and about issues of importance to Colorado and our nation, I invite you to visit my website at Michael Bennet - United States Senator for Colorado : Home (http://bennet.senate.gov/). Again, thank you for contacting me.

To Mr. MartianSoldier
So you again ignited the thread once again that it had died. You have only two posts and that too only on this thread. That only shows that your only objective is to start infighting.
I don't care where you are from but where you belong is very much true .. at least not on this planet. You can go back to Mars or wherever you come from..
Admins - Please take a look at this thread and lock it if possible. All these posts by Martiansoldier do not contribute anything at all to this thread .

of course, a different visa type, discrimination built into the law.
Discrimination based on what though? That is the important question. To the best of my knowledge only australia has that advantage.

It happened because of relentless canvasing of the media until the story got out and embarrassed the government. "Supporting the troops" is a no-brainer for a politician wanting to score political points. Most Americans could care less about immigrants or other citizens who are married to them. So there is no political urgency to solve that "problem." Although the media has reported that the exclusion of legal immigrants was "unintended," my sources say that the exclusion was intentional.
I had hoped to embarrass the government further by exposing the connection to a known "hate group," but the media has refused to report that part of the story. If I could get the media to expose the racist origins of this law, we might have some hope, but don't count on it.
The next phase is to focus on legal options.
This is really interesting. Legal immigrants - their rights and well-being hinges on political points over which legal immigrants have no influence. Very interesting and disappointing at the same time.
You tried your best Totoro. Thanks for all the efforts you have been making and have made so far.

We do NOT support H1b increase without first reforming the EBsystem - we are neutral on this issue. There is nothing for us to gain by either supporting or opposing H1-b increase. We cannot support it because it worsens retrogression. We cannot oppose it for the simple reason that we are ourselves on H1-B. If someone thinks H1-B is bad, then how on earth can you justify giving GCs to these H1-Bs ? Why don't we start by deporting ourselves then ?
The reason zazona and numbers USA are "successful" is simply because they are citizens groups - and they have a sympathetic audience of folks who lost their jobs, as well as sympathetic mouthpieces like Lou FOULMOUTH. Politicians are bound to give weightage to these people's concerns (valid or not) if they wish to remain in power.
Lets leave H1-B bashing as an exercise to the zazona,foulmouth and co. We have scarce resources to begin with as it is, and they are best spent on something constuctive.Unfortunately, we do not seem to have any shortage of ideas on what new items IV should be working on.
Its actually the strategy that is wrong. The numbersusa
, zazzona etc is also a very small group but they use
right strategy.
At one hand you support H1b increase and also want greencard reform.
Those are contradictory things. Unless IV starts working against further
H1B incease , then only Corp America will start working on EB reform.
actually thats the reason I like unitednations. Whats he says is very true
(yes not very pleasant)

Just reporting what I saw on CNN. During the Sen. McCain interview with Judy Judy Woodruff & Richard Stengel, Richard asked something like - what about the green cards for the highly skilled immigrants educated by American Universities. To this Sen. McCain replied implying - they should be given green cards sooner, I am not sure if they could be given automatic green cards but the process should be faster.....
He said it not exactly in these words but implying something to that effect. They were suppose to ask Sen. Obama the exact same questions. Did anyone see Sen. Obama's answer to the question about green card for high skilled immigrants from Richard Stengel? Just curious....
I found this on shusterman's regarding obama's views on immigration. Looks like he is all for family based immigration but no mention about employment based.

Employer B applied for H1B transfer and it was approved in september,2008.But I am still in the payroll of employer A and have not joined B yet(no paystubs etc). Employer A knows this and has not revoked my H1B (visa valid till december 2009 and have got it stamped already). I would like to travel to India in this situation (emergency).
I still intend to work for A after my travel.
1. Will it be a problem at the port of entry with my visa transferred to B,but me still being the payroll of A and intend to continue with A after my travel? (my H1B visa with A is valid till december,2009)
2. What supporting documents do I have to carry with me other than a recent employment confirmation letter,paystubs from employer A?
Currently, I am into the 2nd year of the first 3 years of H1B.I checked with my attorney and she said its ok to come back with the employer A visa.
Please let me know.
Thanks!

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!
Mate if you are an Indian there is no place in India where you can avoid Hindi. Hindi is our national language and that does not make it optional for you to speak or understand.

I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.
If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.
It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV

If this does get passed with our provisions and 485 clause, we actually stand a chance of making him president ;)

I remember in one of Dem party primary debates there was a related question on immigration (general immigration) - Obama answered that in positive way and in fact brought up the legal/employment based immigration issue on his own and mentioned that it needs to be speed up the process and make changes so that fresh talent is attracted - ofcourse at the end he added that american interests have to kept in mind while coming up with employment based immigration system (I remember gist of his response not the exact one)- but his whole response was very positive and if I remember correctly none of other candidates even mentioned employment based immigration - they answered generic immigration (meaning illegal) issue.
Does this mean anything - not much. As someone already mentioned both candidates are in favor of legal employment based immigration and increasing it to some extent - or atleast give some token support for this. But both of them may not take any active stand to make it a priority item - because there are other issues that people (their voters) care more about now like war in iraq, economy, gas prices, health care etc. etc. Both of them may not touch immigration until later in their term. Inevitably when they do touch it - it will be in the form of CIR and it will be big can of worms. Presidents can set the agenda and may issue limited administrative orders - but the expectation that either McCain or Obama will come out for EB community and unilaterally increase the quote or issue an admin order to solve our issue is IMPRACTICAL - and wont happen.
Our best bet is something to happen thru Congress. And our best bet is thru some relatively non-controversial bill like HR5882 (not CIR) - yes its a stop gap measure but it does solve many of EB issues until a new CIR comes into play. If you remember the golden days of EB in early years of this decade are because of a similar visa recapture in last days of Clinton administration - we need something similar.

Hi, I am currently on a Company A's payroll and working at a client's place (Company B); now that Company B wants me to join them; however, there is a contract between Companies A & B not to hire the employee directly; what should be done in this case? I also have a contractual obligation to my employer not to join the client for 12 months. My employer(Company A) is not willing to let me go (though I worked for a year already). Any advise from the forum?
Thanks
Thanks
