    "punjabi77" is losing $20,000 if he puts his house on sale. He wants to avoid a loss of a mere 20Gs and take on the consequences of a foreclosure!

    And your advice to him is to buy a better car (which is going to set him back another 15Gs at least), and get more credit cards?

    Did you even go to college? You claim to be higly skilled and educated, I really doubt it!

    Do things in this order -

    1. Find a job first.
    2. Secure a good apartment at new job's location.
    3. If you need a better car buy one right now.
    4. Get some credit cards.
    5. Let your home go to foreclosure.

    It is a financial decision. Every once in a while, most of us go to different stores and ask them to match the price for the item that we had purchased earlier. If they do not match the price then we return that item. Don't we? Do not get sentimental. Just walk off! Your credit history would get screwed but if you plan it the way I said above, you will be fine. Good luck.

    And it won't affect your GC.

    This prediction business is done just to derive satisfaction of doing something towards a goal. This is especially true when one can do very little to get to that goal and it all depends on many other factors. Yet predicting the PD is not a bad endeavor by itself. That being said, predicting PD is not an easy math without knowing the PD of the last pending application in a category with the CIS and many other numbers. If I am right, I believe even the DoS and CIS have trouble with it.

    This what one Mr. Oppenheim says, "This situation will allow me to advance the India EB-2 cut-off date for May". That is it. So the PD will move in May unlike in the past when it moved in June/July/August in a FY. My understanding at this point is that there is no way to predict what will happen to the PD in May VB. THere are just not enough precise numbers available to do that. The May VB may come on 8th April and the numbers that are accounted for in it might be as close as 1st April'11. We do not have that number with us.

    I was absolutely pissed off with the "local" ppl that got greedy and dragged the whole economy with them. Seeing that there are ppl like you (one of us) who are pretty much the same, i am seething with rage. Because of idiots like you, people with a pristine credit history of more than ten years and some saved money cant buy a decent house in the bay area (and elsewhere) and have to see their hard-earned money go down the drain in 401k and stocks.....I wish ppl like you rot in foreclosure hell and no one ever lends credit you, ever again!!!

    boreal, cool down. Just think what you will do if you are in that situation.
    At personal level ( micro level) these people are making right decisions. As long as you are not committing crime, nothing wrong with making decisions which are good for you. I will probably do the same thing if I am in that situation.
    The core problem with system was cheap money because of lax lending standard and low interest rates ( blame Greenspan) and affordable housing (like ACORN from Dems). These decisions are made by people in power and so called smart people. Individuals do have their contribution to the problem but the macro decisions provided them means to have things which they can not afford. The bubble had to burst sooner or later ....
    So right now, remember wealth is always relative. So since you haven't bought house, you don't have negative equity or declining value home.You haven't foreclosed so you can still get loan at decent rate and buy house at much cheaper price. All the people with money in the market are affected by recent downturn. So relatively speaking you are doing much better than a lot of other people ....
    BTW I am in the same situation as you are and waiting for good opportunity to buy house at cheap price. Do you see the positive side ? I hope you do .....

    Hello eb3_nepa

    1) (copy 1)please send a separate letter to the President.
    2) (copy 2)Send a copy of that letter to IV. After the letters are sent to the President, IV will have a meeting with senior administration officials. In that meeting we will carry the copies of the letters and deliver to them.


    Thanks Pappu. Will definitely send in those letters. Dunno about the handwritten part (The white house may not be able to quite decipher them) but will send in those letters.

    I don't disagree with any of the statements.. It is totally personal decision for someone to donate or not.

    I agree that there is no silver bullet in any analysis. It is a number crunching game.. What is important is follow-up after analysis, which is only possible with IV.


    Dems want votes and more Hispanics
    GOP want more temps since it is very good for business
    Lawyers want more money so they are not interested in solutions. They are in it for money
    Individuals want their greencard just in time and not worry about the guy right behind them..
    tracker websites need traffic to get money from adds, so they don't want solution..

    Thanks I appreciate your follow-up. My response was more for those people whose only objective seems to be to denigrate others (Name calling - Freeloader etc) and divert everyone from the topic.

    The last month of the fiscal year is generally much much better. I doubt approvals for Oct will be anywhere near that.....especially since it is the first month and they will go slow...and November visa availability will be an eye opener.....not much hope....

    Keeping fingers crossed

    On the flip side, if this is only a rumor, then USCIS/DOS won't comment at all.

    Thanks,
    Jayant


    H1 quota will be over on day 1 also started as a rumor ..however USICS quickly jumped and clarified how they will handle the situation ..i hope the same this time also .

    Only intresting thing is will they accept applications on day 1 and cover their skin ?...Then no body can question DOS/USICS as they always had a reason to defend themself....Guys what ever happens if you can file today thats fine else ..do use fedex same day service and make sure the application will reach b4 5 on monday

    I am not worried about the three companies I know of , I am worried about other 3000 companies that I don't know of.
    I also believe, it is not the companies that are evil. It is the system that provides the incentive. And I am trying to take away that incentive.


    Any update on lawsuit, SunnySurya?

    Also, would you mind sharing your PD with us? This has been asked by couple other folks as well.

    Thanks and Good Luck.

    We have sent 2 magicjack's to India, one at my parents and one at in-laws....they need to have a computer and high speed internet access there. For the first yr it is costing us $40 per yr each and starting 2nd year it will cost us $20 per yr each. They call us all the time now and calls are crystal clear and you can't beat $40/year price.
