Post your IT recruiter number here. Many of my friends are looking for jobs. When anyone out and looking then they will feel job market like my many friends. So don't brag and hold on your job otherwise will learn hard way. :)
Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.

I would suggest you to renew it here in US. If you don't have time to mail in and receive , then you can visit the consulate and get in back the same day. I am sure it would lot of time in India :-)

my PD is April 2006, so i guess i would need to wait 1 year to get the dates moving, since it would be quite a huge backlog clearing up
any guesses when it would move next
It will move to Sep 06 or Dec 06 in the next bulletin for EB2-I, and March 2002 for EB3-I. Don't ask how I know this -- Ask Q

Caliguy,
It is interesting......why does congressman/senatorial inquiry works for some and not for some. What can we do differently. I sent out a "Thanks...but no thanks" email back to Congressman's office.
I mentioned that I expected that a congressman's inquiry will at least make TSC to look into the case and do a due diligence but not throw the same reply that they'd to individual inquiry.
There is a saying in Hindi...
"Jab kismat hi hai gandu to kya karega pandu"
Hang in there..........

Guys,
The AILA article may not be sufficient to explain how exactly we've been hurt. I've added a few more lines in the end and emailed to some of these addresses:
A======
Losses suffered by my family and tens of thousands of others:
1) Cost of medical exams and having to take vaccinations
2) Attorney fees
3) Cost of getting paperwork expedited from home countris
4) Cost of time off from work to prepare the applications
5) Postage/Fedex
6) People canceling their non-refundable tickets for summer travel so they could be in this country
7) People having to spend a lot of extra money to fly their families back.
8) People having to change their marriage plans and having to pay for cancellations of a lot of events.
6) Emotional trauma our families had to go through. A spouse who is forced to sit at home for many years was shown a hope for being able to work and that hope being shattered
MY BIG QUESTION IS :
Could the federal government have been able to get away with something like this if it had affected 100 US Citizens? NO!
In this case, it harmed, financially and emotionally devastated atleast 150-200 thousand FAMILIES, but those were of Legal hi-tech foreign workers....Who cares about them !

irs has already posted how you can get rebate if you were not eligible last year but you are eligible now (after getting dependents ssn)
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=186065,00.html?portlet=7
AFAIK, those who become ligible to receive stimulus in 2008 can claim stimulus of previous year. IRS will post information - how to claim it.

Its not a legal loophole. Some states just do it that way. Their under pinning argument is that you are on a temporary visa and does not have permanent residency. Also, its not the University that makes up the rules. There is some thing called domicile office in most schools and they determine residency for in state/out of state purposes. The domicile office has specific set of instructions on how they should determine eligibility requirements for in state. For example common wealth of VA has state council for higher education (http://www.schev.edu/Students/VAdomicileguidelines.asp?from=students) that provides these guidelines. Check out what AZ has to say and if they say only permanent residency is a requirement to be eligible for in state, there is nothing much you can do.
Also, its not a federal violation as states decide what they want to do with their university systems. If you want you can write to your state senators and assembly man and see what they have to say. Its very difficult to explain them these nuances when there are a bunch of people crying out loud that many illegals are getting in state rates.

My current EAD got expired by 08/27/2010 and I filed my extn by 07/06/2010. My check has got cashed by USCIS with in a week period of time. So I thought would get my EAD asap. But it didnt. Since my EAD extn filed to Nebraska Service center, called them on 1-800 and spoke with one of their representatives to expedit the process. I got a reply back from USCIS that they will expedit the process and the result should notifiy by within 30days.
I already in LOP, I dont know how long the process will take..? If anyone knows how could I do better, please let me know the details.
NOTE: Seems my priority date is also became current (Mar-30-2006). Would it cause for the delay..? Will they provide EAD and GC simeltaneously...? or Will I get EAD alon..? or will I get GC...?

This definitely gives an incentive for people to start contributing. This is like for the people, by the people. To be able to have an organization with direct access to the USCIS in helping resolve desperate situations. But for this to continue to be in existence with that kind of outreach, needs monetary contributions from all members who are in their GC journey regardless of how safe or straight forward their case may be.

My employer applied in PP and it was approved. details are give below.
Date of mailing -1/23( i presume must have used Fedex overnight)
Date of recipt/acknowledgement- 1/24
Date of approval- 2/4( online)
Date of approval email sent - 2/4
The only hitch was that they applied for 3 years extension based on 140 approval and even thougt 485 is filed the PD is not current,but got approval for 1 year only . The problem here i think is that i am completing 5 years oh H1B in feb 2008 so they extended only for 1 year till feb 2009 . Anyway that what you get when u ask your HR to file rather than have an attorney file ot handle the case. I had requested them to have an attorney handle the case but they gave me assurances that they will handle it and will do it in PP. Now i am sure they are repenting as i dont expect my GC approval for next 2 ot 3 years and now they got to shell out 1500 buck for extension every year or atleast for the next year when they retry for a 3 year extension in feb 2009.i had a word with my HR she said she is going to inquire with USCIS and discuss the case with attorney on what ground they offered one year extension and not 3 year
