I tried to run twice last week but had to walk 2 out of the four miles because of the 100 degree temperatures in So.Cal. it is so much easier to stick to the classes I take in an air conditioned GYM but a new activity helps. I am proud to be part of Team IV and raising funds for the cause I believe in
As a start, I've decided to start walking in my office garage for half an hour before lunch.

We, the "aliens".
"Part of my frustration is to hear illegal immigrants called immigrants when I'm called an alien. I'm doing things right, but I'm still called an alien," ... "If I lose my job tomorrow, my reward is a ticket back home." Very true...
Most of my colleagues on L1/H1 visas went back upon completion of their 5/6 year terms, they never applied for GC. Couple of them are right now packing back.
The management of the company (not IT related) bravely decided to replace the "aliens" by american engineers. This proud decision had a disaterous consequence - our international based customers pulled back and found other contractors. Despite of all the money pumped to promote the "american" presence in the company, down-sizing is on its way and closure is on the horizon...
I was stupid enough to decide in 2003 to apply for a GC and to bear all this BS. Now working hard on plan B and waiting for the right moment.
Seriously considering plan B - Packing up.

I have my own labor approved with a PD of 2004 and 140 pending. Thanks for the suggestion.
You know what some desi companies are sending emails too , saying they have pre approved labors....
It is totally unfair for the people whose applications are pending in BECS since 1999.
Nothing is fair in this world..Take life as it comes.Let join to celebrate the event

Hi Albertopinto,
Can you pls elaborate on why your are suggesting to stay away from day trading? wht kind of exp hv you had with day trading? I want to know the pros and cons and hear the experience from ppl with hands on / who hv tried day trading in the US and found it too risky. Thanks!
As said earlier its addictive(substitue the word 'gambling'), heavy amount of risk involved , limits are high as well and one has to be careful while filing the taxes apart from all the risks associated with the regular stock trading. It aint bad if you can identify the trend and want to make some quick bucks.
Because of the volatility in the markets right now, day trading is thot to be beneficial at this time rather than holding.
But if you are new to trading and have some monies sitting in your checking a/c , I would advise you to put that in ETF's , as this timing is great for entry, as its the bottom of the barrell.
explore about the etf's @ http://finance.yahoo.com/etf , http://finance.yahoo.com/etf/education
good luck

Hey man, whats wrong with the IT industry ?
Heck man he is from Stanford. He is EB2. How dare we lowly Eb3's challenge him. He can say what he wants. He is blessed with good fortune (read EB2) we are not. His suffering is not limited to GC. He is a tower of strength. In fact he reminds me of Atlas. Eb2 is one good thing in his others tough miserable life.
But misunderstand me not. He does not need your sympathy. He is a superior being, he is EB2. He should he admired and worshipped. Pray accept my homages. And if he says IT is a miserable industry just quietly nod your head and acknowledge and say "Master Eb2 what should I do discard this life of professional misery" and he shall deliver his wisdom.
And last but not the least be thankful to him. He has invested his stanford brain to offer us harsh but few paragraphs worth of wisdom on a Friday evening while the rest of us are out to drink or rejoice with family and friends. He choses to have none so he may offer us salvation. The sheer volume of his words astounds me. Thank you sir! I think you should sleep now, so you can wake up early and engage in a wise yet energetic discussion with us lowly Eb3 folks early in the morning who shall wait in earnest for you to vocalize your deep reflections on life and Eb2

I renewed my passport under tatkal this month. I mailed application overnight on Thursday and Monday got a call from Houston that Money Order attached is less 50 than actual. I mailed balance next day overnight, it reached them on Wednesday and got my passport after 4 business days.
rct_bulk, Could you tell how much you had to pay finally to get it under Tatkal....Is it $150 (40+20+90 ) ? Also, is it all in the same cashier check? please clarify

If you're really bright Microsoft, Oracle will still hire you.
I can tell you that if you have good communication skills getting hired here it's not a problem, in fact they won't even ask you if you're not a US citizen until the end.
I'm from a country in the Americas and I can say that most of the time there are limit for foreigners working in a company.
So its not unreasonable to put some limits.

All,
My lawyer received the following RFE during premium process of my PERM I-140 application.
===Here is the text from original RFE========
Submit evidence that alien obtained a true 4 years bachelor degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, Math or Equivalent. Evidence of education must be in form of an official diploma, record/transcript showing all dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any. The evidence submitted shows that the alien completed a three year Bachelor in Science Degree in India
===========
fyi: I have 3 years of B.Sc and 2 Years of Post Graduate Diploma in MIS from India.
Let me know if anyone here has received thia kind of RFE and what could be the best next step to overcome this RFE.
Thanks,
-Dhiraj
Under which category you applied I-140? EB2 or EB3?

Not neccessarily. If you look at the approved 485s from TSC, you will see that large number of them have RDs in June 2007. But according to the published TSC processing times, they have been lagging in April something for the last two months. So I don't really think these "published" processing times really reflect the current work being done at a service center at least when ones PD is current.
so now we have to have PD current processing time for that service center is current and also be lucky so an IO will pick up our application to be processed. (it is actually little depressing)

Income from investment activities is okay on any visa status as long as appropriate taxes are paid.
If one has rental income, interest income and captial gains from the stock market while on H1-B, does it affect if the person transfers status to H4. Is income from above sources for a H4 person ok ?

I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D
