You may admire them as much as you want but fact is these are just "glorified" bodyshoppers. I meet many workers from these "great" companies at my workplace and see them being treated just as "low cost alternatives" and nothing else by this huge financial company in NY/NJ area. Because of their (INFY, TATA, Wipro, Satyam) "low billing rates" these guys cant afford good lifestyle. And back home in India INFY and TATA CEOs make billions and talk BIG. I've not met any TATA, Satyam guy here who is happy with their employer. They just hate their employers and always looking for a change. I wonder where they stand in terms of employee satisfaction? They treat their people like slave and send them as low cost labor. Not only that - they exploit US immigration rules and make use of L1 to keep their people long term at cliant place when they dont get enough H1.
No difference from local bodyshoppers! Dont think they are great companies. You may say "you folks are frustrated with these companies". But this is the fact. Period.
They exploit US immigration rules and make use of L1 to keep their people long term at cliant place when they dont get enough H1. How is it exploiting US immigration rule? Will you crib the same if a Russian gaming company or UK based service company transfers their employers on L1? L1B is for intra-company transfer. Do you know how tough it is to get L1B? Try to go into Chennai consulate with L1B. Big companies are grilled like anything. How much does it cost to hire locally from US and train in all internal processes of SWITCH companies? It will be at least 6 months to become proficient. Can you expect to hire locally and train for 6 months in this competition? Where will the project go? It is not cost effective to get people on L1B and get them do the 'actual' work. Most of us work here as coordinators or client contacts. Not for doing actual work. And in that context there is no rule that is being exploited.

EB2 likes visa bulletin predictions.
EB3 does not.
That explains the green or red in my opinion.
The current USCIS policy is favoring EB2. There is no dispute about that. EB3ers are justifiably angry and are venting it out on EB2ers. What EB3ers must understand is they should be hating the game not the players. They should be hating the systems and not the other applicants. EB2ers, like me, just got lucky.
I guess this EB2 v EB3 fight will go on until Obama takes up Immigration.
EB3 does not.

We are like beggars in this country. This country and its people do not want us here and are doing everything permissible under law to throw us out of here (if no law then they just make one up).
But we are such suckers that we do not want to leave this country and go back home. Gandhi fought to get rid of white masters but we were destined to serve one anyway. I don't understand why I don't live in my own country and contribute to its economy. Why am I tolling so hard to live here? I don't know when will my hard head understand this silly concept.
The reason is...probably we are not toiling that hard....As long as one has a paying job, things go reasonably smooth.....and we dont toil as much as it is made out to be.
The issue comes only when one loses the job...and had to play catch-up with immigration to keep us in status.
That is also the reason why you don't get mass participation in legal immigration activities.
I presume people are just happy with the status-quo! They think of going that extra length only when that status quo gets disrupted..
My 2 cents!

Abhidos,
I have a feeling the re-file might not work in this case. Just be prepared for the worst.
BTW, are you EB2 or EB3? and which country?
EB2 might have a good chance of begin current in near future.

It seems that i can file tax using form 4852....but to do if he send legal notice claiming that i have made losses to him worth 25 K....i had good relation with client , gave app notice and also have refe letter from client (received award form client)..........so there shud be no point for liquidation thing and also i have all previous employers emails acepting my receignation and notice period...
If your employer paid taxes on behalf of you , he must have recieved w2.If he doesn't give w2 to you , you can call IRS and request for one , they'll fax/mail it to you.I did it once and filed taxes.
He may be threatening you about legal notice, but I don't think he'll send notice.You can think what to do when recieve a notice.
Look for Private Message for my contact details , or send me your contact# so that we can discuss what to do.

I really wonder why people are so crazy about voting there. Educated illiterates is the right word. You guys are just promoting a website and the money they will make from your participation.
I can also make a webite that asks you to vote to remove poverty in India and say its is a free, open-source, non-profit, and non-partisan web resource with a mission to make Indian government more transparent, responsible and to encourage civic engagement. Do you really think you will vote? or your votes will be seen by Manmohan singh?

I agree with you completely; I will never travel through frankfurt or any german airport again or any german airline. I think they see indians are sticklers for procedure/afraid lets milk them for some visa money. All we will be doing is get off one airline and switch to other one. Probably that takes like 2 hours within the terminal and for that you have to fill in a paper work, money and spend more time then that gab. This is just out right harrassment. Let them rot in hell :mad:.
Transit visa is the biggest fraud ever on the face of us. As a principle I NEVER traveled on Transit visa after it came in to existence.
It's absolutely ridiculous to charge $$ for a visa where all you are going to do is take a dump in their airport.. :mad::mad::mad:
Indians should not patronize airlines demanding transit visa. atleast people who need transit visa should not fly..

This thread seems to express my thoughts.
I used to wait till my dates got current. With my dates being current since November, I still wait with no sign of improvement.
I tried calling the 1-800 number. But, did not get any useful information.
Took an Infopass appointment couple of weeks back. But, it was of no use.
The officer at the local office read the same status that I see online.
She said that my case was transfered to Texas center. (I knew this since October 2007). Only additional information she gave me was that my namecheck got clreared. (Though this is important, I dont think this really matters to get my case processed).
I told her that I have been waiting since years and some of friends who filed later than me already got their GCs, she felt sorry for me but she said there is nothing she can do for me. Not even a Service Request since my dates are within the processing times.
Its getting difficult for me......Also, in this economy its getting tough everyday to hold on to the job. Who knows may be this year quota might be over too. It will definitely be a big relief if we get the GC.
I thought there is nothing I can do now till my dates goes outside the processing times. Please advice.
Good Luck to everyone.
We are in the same boat my friend....keep hope!!
Happy Newyear 2009!! we might get Green soon...

this is a one-sided view of someone hell-bent over renting is better than buying.
The website has got the views of well over a hundred other people. Read all the posts, esp the ones that do detailed financial analyses.
and if you take 15 yrs mortgage, you will not pay more money towrads your interest.
Then your tax benefits will be lower..and your monthly payments will be larger.

but isnt this the reason for LC advertising? That is, if a USC or permanent resident applies he should be given preference over an immigrant. By that rationale I am not so sure it is illegal.
Also, many large companies, when applying for jobs on their websites, mandatorily require you to state your visa status. While self-identification (race, sex) is always optional and cannot be required (by law, there will always be a statement that says submission of this info is voluntary).
They cannot ask it if it is illegal, and clearly this information is used in the employment process.
So, I am not so sure this is illegal.
I am pretty sure that discriminating on nationality is illegal, but that is different
Probably according to the EEOC rules, unless the job requires for security clearance, companies must not discriminate between a US citizen and someone with work authorization. A company must also not deny job to you because u don't have enough time on ur visa. Company must go through legal channels to accept or deny employment for visa holders. As such companies don't really discriminate. They want good people for work. Most times it is the reqruiters who post these ads. Reqruiters post ads like * must be citizen, must be local to New York* etc... Even for L/C ads, I don't think there is a need to mention preference for citizens - though I am not sure about this.
If prefering US citizens is discriminatory, I am sure a bill will be easily passed to make such postings valid and legal :)

Contending that the H-1B visa programme is being abused to displace qualified American workers, two US lawmakers have asked nine foreign-based firms, including some leading Indian companies that used 20,000 of such visas, to disclose details about their workforce and their use of the special programme.
The companies the senators sent letters to were Infosys Technologies, Wipro Ltd., Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., Patni Computer Systems, I-Flex Solutions Inc., Satyam Computer Services Ltd., Larsen & Toubro Infotech Ltd., Tech Mahindra Americas Inc. and Mphasis Corp.

If you want to wait 10+ years for your green card, stay at home and hide. (Retrogression will just get worse, I guarantee). If you want to change your future and get a GC one day please show up at the rally. We are there to show that we even exist, no need to do anything else. We need everyone.

People complain that Canada is cold and Canada has low wages and racism...excuse me one sec
Canada is no colder than Chicago and low wages go to people with lower skills or no North American experience. If you have US experience and a good degree and speak English, then Canada can be heaven for you. If you just like a place because of the weather, then let's talk about Australia, which is almost as good as Canada, also has a immigration system based on points and has amazing beaches!
A friend of mine from Mexico is making 10,000 (yes, ten thousand) US a month in TO.
And on a scale of 1 to 10, Canadians score a 4 in racism where Americans score a 7 (my own estimate based on my countles visits and extended stay in both countries)
