Finally we have decided to go back to India for good. I filed my EB3 in May 2003. Its going to be another 4 years to get the green card. When I went to India for vacation last December, we liked it over there & the economy is booming. There are all sorts of discussion regarding the Economic Gap/Politics/Corruption/Cleanliness. But we like it over there. Finally I will have an option to do something interesting. In US I was very much dependent on my monthly pay check and afraid to take even the slightest risk. I am also scared to use the AC21(Hey, thats the way I am). I am working with the same company for last 10 years, kinda stagnant in the last 4 years. In India, there are lots of choices, either to work for a sw company or start some business on my own. I think I will take the business route.
May be I can go there, earn well, send my son to US for college, do green card through him & come retire in US!!!
Good Luck to everybody!!
Great relief, moved one step up in the line!!! Just kidding. all the best man. I believe India has growth potential for next 15-20 years. India need to mix few ingredients to its growth like law & order, infrastructure, accountability, reduce bribery, traffic education etc..

Will I need passport size photos at the time of landing (like for applying PR or any other form) and if required how many photos are required.
Hi Maag,
I don't think you need the photos for lannding.
As per my research this i the list of documents you need:
� Passport
� COPR
� Proof of Funds
� Few copies of a list stating inventory you wish to take to Canada in the future, list of "Goods to Follow" and when landing in Canada. Include Model Numbers and Serial Numbers of products if they have such numbers.
Good to have:
Birth Certificate.
� Marriage Certificate.
� Driver's License.
� International Drivers License
I am planning to do landing this weekend of early next week..just lilttle worried as i have already used AP so not ure what sort of situtation I will face while landing.
Do you know of anyone in such situation or any experiance?
Thanks

That's where AC21 comes to rescue, and you can become "self-employed" rather than "unemployed." Question is, why can't self-employment in same/similar occupation as your I-140 petition be considered to satisfy I-140 requirement?....
Yes, one can be self-employed for AC-21 job, as long as conditions mentioned in the same memo are fulfilled
"Question 8. Can an alien port to self-employment under INA �204(j)?
Answer: Yes, as long as the requirements are met. First, the key is whether the employment is in a "same or similar" occupational classification as the job for which the original I-140 petition was filed. Second, it may be appropriate to confirm that the new employer and the job offer are legitimate through an RFE to the adjustment applicant for relevant information about these issues. ...... "

Leo,
Just so that we are clear, please note that signing online petitions doesn't mean anything if there is no matching advocacy. Timing of the activity is also very important. In the end, advocacy and grassroots effort must compliment each other at the same time. The website you are referring is an advertisement website. Its not a resource for serious advocacy effort.
The Congress is right now focused on DREAM Act. If we just say "Erase Green card backlog", it will mean nothing. But there is a chance if we send specific targeted message asking to include specific provisions in the bill that appear to be moving (i.e. DREAM Act in this case), and IV is complimenting this message with the advocacy on the ground.
Just sending random email from some online advertisement for profit website does not mean anything. We think that some of these websites are just collecting your Email and Home Address, which they could sell for making profit.
Immigration Voice would like to request its all members not to send out random messages from advertisement websites because such messages are out of sink with reality. Please participate in the well defined and targeted 'Action Items' on IV.

The immigration debate for legal immigrants and illegal immigrants with substantial presence in the USA has been raging for 2 years now. Reforms consistently went through Senate but got stuck in the house. Last year has been most painful and has brought matters to a tipping point. Therefore, I conclude that after the elections things have to settle down - this matter cannot be up in the air any longer. Either we get formally and bitterly screwed or some relief pops out in the next 2-3 months.
Well....
Option 3 is that they keep the thing dragging on just like they are doing last 2/3 years...Remember GW Bush was talking about guest worker program at start of 2004...The next presidential elections are just 2 years away...We keep hanging by the lean thread of forlorn hope...

If Dream act becomes law, I will throw my visa documents and register my self as undocumented alien with undocumented birth certificate and get degree from a community college and get the visa.:D
You wont be able to do that if you entered the US at an age more than 16yrs old
DREAM Act beneficiaries must:
Have proof of having arrived in the United States before age 16.
Have proof of residence in the United States for a least five consecutive years since their date of arrival, compliance with Selective Service.
Be between the ages of 12 and 35 at the time of bill enactment.
Have graduated from an American high school or obtained a GED.
Be of "good moral character"[12]
That is why we need to participate in this action alert and have them consider our ammendments.

Did any one discussed this with an attorney. May be a conference call with Mr. Rajiv Khanna ? Can anyone from IV core member respond what is their take on such a class action. Will we have the support from IV if such lawsuit is filled.
Again i strongly believe our only way out of this mess especially for EB3 India is lawsuit.

GCBy3000,
You cannot quote a post which is day old and ask the question "what are the hearings for?". Apparently the post you are quoting is made before the news came out that the hearings will be held. Is this GC thing getting on your nerves:)
Good if it happens. But when? What makes it to say it is dead for the lawmakers. If it is likely to be dead by the end of July, then what for the hearings in the month of august before the next recession? No hopes for anything, until something is signed by the president. Any new BILL, agian the same senate, congress, commitee process and KILL it at the end. Hmmm it is just my frustration and I am not blaming anyone. I am there to fight till the end(?? I dunno where the end is though).
Now to the big question, as of today, what is the status of CIR Bill. The hearings will be held in the month of August (House Folks are planning to call in the Senate Members to testify in these hearings, which is impossible because the Senate will be in Recess in the Month of August).
So the most optimistic guess would be that the hearings will be stretched into September. In October, the Senate (I'm assuming even the house) will go on recess again for the elections in November. Once the hearings end (September) and the elections end, depending on who will control the majority, the CIR bill will be brought into day light. The reason I say this is because CIR is the only way, as of now, they are dealing with the border problem. They have no choice but to address the border problem, for security reasons.
So the CIR will be discussed again, optimistically, in december. The House will name the conference committee members and schedule the conference committee. The conference committee may meet and discuss the differences in December/January. I'm confident that both chambers of congress will be more comfortable to deal with CIR after the elections. As I have said earlier, they have no choice but come up with some kind of border security legislation out of the conference committee. Optimistically, CIR may become law by next summer and it would be helpful for us, if our provisions survive the storm.
I agree with the "Passing under the radar" philosophy put forward by IV Core Team. Our best bet is CIR compared to other explicit bills like SKIL. Besides, if I understand SKIL correctly, it benifits only folks with Master's degree in US and 3 years of work experience in a related field (I do have this). So that is not a comprehensive solution for IV members.
The anti-immigration and outsourcing sentiment is high in this country now. Also, the corporations are only lobbying for H-1B visas. They will never lobby for GC's. It's against their interests for us to get GC's. So we, the GC seekers, are on our own. IV membership is below 5000 and our contributions are around 130K. IMO, this is not enough to influence the president to sign an emergency relief bill (someone suggested this) or even lobby the Congress for explicit bills like SKIL.
The best thing that we can do as of now is to get personally involved in recruiting more members for IV. I've pledged to myself that by the end of July, I'll ensure that I'll recruit 10 new members for IV. If we can get our membership atleast close to 50000 by the end of this year then we can make some significant noise.
So our options are:
1) To wait until next summer for CIR
2) EB3 folks with PD's as 2003 or higher, try to find a new job and file as EB2
3) EB2 folks with PD's 2004 or higher, try to find a new job that'll file for GC within 6 months
4) People who are in 7/8/9 years extensions of H1-B, consult good immigration lawyers and weigh in your options. The worst case scenario for you is to stick with your current firm as long as it takes for your GC. But there is no harm in trying, you may end up finding other viable options.
Long post, huh? This GC thing is getting on my nerves too:)
Peace Out!

Opening SR is like making a wish to god , which may come true
I opened SR when my wife lost her EAD in post , they gave me a 45 day time frame , nothing happened .. Called again and they open other SR , and asked again to wait for other 45 days ... I guess this cycle continues
I asked about my first SR while opening a second SR , reply they had no idea as they requested it with CIS , funny answer I also asked why there is a number if they have no idea ... By the way you will get letter from CIS stating that they received the request and they are processing it and you will hear from us with in 45 days .. If not call us ...ah ah
At last I was able to get EAD with in 5 days with the help of CISOmbudsman .
