    I landed in June 2006 in Toronto. If anybody needs information please feel free to ask.

    What documents, applications need to be filled out after we land in Canada; in-terms of applying for the Resident Card, Social Insurance Number etc. I don't even know what else needs to be filled out.

    Can we fill these applications on-line or must be fill them out only after we have landed physically in Canada?

    After landing, how long before we can come back to the USA for resuming our job?

    Thanks Lasantha.

    H1B is a non immigrant visa, and they dont have the full constitutional rights, for eq they dont have the right to vote.

    Legally we are not immigrants, that is the worst mistake( calling ourselves immigrants) ,being done by us,

    If USCIS denies GC for security reasons, you cant sue them.

    No onde denies that we cannot vote. But we have the basic rights, like being treated "equally and fairly". For example, if some employer violates labor law and did not pay you for your work, I am sure you can sue, even though you are not a citizen. There are some basic rights that everyone has, esp. if you hold good fainth and are damaged. Statement that you do not have any rights as you are not a citizen is just wrong. I am wondering how this will impact people's (esp. people from other countries) perception about this. :confused:

    Zoooom, Anzeraja & All pledgers,

    Thanks for driving this effort. Subsequent to Aman's post, we can direct these pledges to the normal contribution drive for IV.

    It was amazing to see such response to call for funds for Aman and other core members.

    I am really surprised that you guys are contemplating on going against your employer for a employment letter and filing your GC. I mean, how hard is it for you guys to agree to the terms of your employer that you will work till you get your GC and upto 6 months beyond that..

    If you guys came before 2001-2002 and seen how the situation was for green card filers you will now what I am talking about..

    1. There was no concurrent filing of I-140/485
    2. There was no premium processing for Labor
    3. There was no premium processing for I-140
    4. There was no AC-21, so there is no way of switching jobs..

    Still it used to take 4-5 years to get a GC.

    And you guys are complaining about your employer because you worked for 1-2 years and you want to quit as soon as you get EAD..

    Just imagine what would have happened if the dates were not CURRENT.. How many more years you would have worked, cursing USCIS

    Your greed will ruin you in future, just like you are cursing your employer's greed..

    Also, before you curse your employer, it was you who joined the company and you had many months to find out what kind of employer you have and it quit the company long time back.. You could have switched to different company long time back..


    I agree , and if the cost of leaving this stupid employer is just $10K, I would gladly pay and have some peace of mind.

    Also don't make decissions based on the current provisions/laws only. It is safe to assume you are going to be with your employer (who filed your GC) until you get your GC. You make a decision assuming that you can use AC21 after 6 months, but what happens if they remove AC21 in two months ??? People got burned when they assume status quo with the laws/provisions and they subsequently change.

    By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

    Published: May 23, 2007

    First I had to laugh. Then I had to cry.

    I took part in commencement this year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,
    one of America's great science and engineering schools, so I had a front-row
    seat as the first grads to receive their diplomas came on stage, all of
    them Ph.D. students. One by one the announcer read their names and each was
    handed their doctorate - in biotechnology, computing, physics and
    engineering - by the school's president, Shirley Ann Jackson.

    The reason I had to laugh was because it seemed like every one of the newly
    minted Ph.D.'s at Rensselaer was foreign born. For a moment, as the foreign
    names kept coming - "Hong Lu, Xu Xie, Tao Yuan, Fu Tang" - I thought that
    the entire class of doctoral students in physics were going to be Chinese,
    until "Paul Shane Morrow" saved the day. It was such a caricature of what
    President Jackson herself calls "the quiet crisis" in high-end science
    education in this country that you could only laugh.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm proud that our country continues to build
    universities and a culture of learning that attract the world's best minds.
    My complaint - why I also wanted to cry - was that there wasn't someone from
    the Immigration and Naturalization Service standing next to President
    Jackson stapling green cards to the diplomas of each of these foreign-born
    Ph.D.'s. I want them all to stay, become Americans and do their research and
    innovation here. If we can't educate enough of our own kids to compete at
    this level, we'd better make sure we can import someone else's, otherwise we
    will not maintain our standard of living.

    It is pure idiocy that Congress will not open our borders - as wide as
    possible - to attract and keep the world's first-round intellectual draft
    choices in an age when everyone increasingly has the same innovation tools
    and the key differentiator is human talent. I'm serious. I think any foreign
    student who gets a Ph.D. in our country - in any subject - should be
    offered citizenship. I want them. The idea
    that we actually make it difficult for them to stay is crazy.

    Compete America, a coalition of technology companies, is pleading with
    Congress to boost both the number of H-1B visas available to companies
    that want to bring in skilled foreign workers and the number of employment-
    based green cards given to high-tech foreign workers who want to stay here.
    Give them all they want! Not only do our companies need them now, because we
    're not training enough engineers, but they will, over time, start many more
    companies and create many more good jobs than they would possibly displace.
    Silicon Valley is living proof of that - and where innovation happens
    matters. It's still where the best jobs will be located.

    Folks, we can't keep being stupid about these things. You can't have a world
    where foreign-born students dominate your science graduate schools,
    research labs, journal publications and can now more easily than ever go
    back to their home countries to start companies - without it eventually
    impacting our standard of living - especially when we're also slipping
    behind in high-speed Internet penetration per capita. America has fallen
    from fourth in the world in 2001 to 15th today.

    My hat is off to Andrew Rasiej and Micah Sifry, co-founders of the Personal
    Democracy Forum. They are trying to make this an issue in the presidential
    campaign by creating a movement to demand that candidates focus on our
    digital deficits and divides. (See: http://www.techpresident.com <http://www.techpresident.com>.) Mr. Rasiej, who unsuccessfully ran for public advocate of New York City in 2005 on a platform calling for low-cost wireless access everywhere, notes that "only half of America has broadband access to the Internet." We need to go from "No Child Left Behind," he says, to "Every Child
    Connected."

    Here's the sad truth: 9/11, and the failing Iraq war, have sucked up almost
    all the oxygen in this country - oxygen needed to discuss seriously
    education, health care, climate change and competitiveness, notes Garrett
    Graff, an editor at Washingtonian Magazine and author of the upcoming book "
    The First Campaign," which deals with this theme. So right now, it's mostly
    governors talking about these issues, noted Mr. Graff, but there is only so
    much they can do without Washington being focused and leading.

    Which is why we've got to bring our occupation of Iraq to an end in the
    quickest, least bad way possible - otherwise we are going to lose Iraq and
    America. It's coming down to that choice.

    Maybe we are getting off the topic.

    USCIS is giving a hard time for h-1b's.


    If vemont service center:

    ensure LCA is for client location and company location.

    ensure that you can get a legitimate letter/contract from place you are actually working. ensure letter/contract says that the terms (duration) is extendable (under the law; uscis only has to approve the h-1b until the PO finishes if it is less then three years).

    For companies: Cancel h-1b for people who have left. Cancel h-1b's for people who have not joined (uscis in their rfe's are frequently quoting number of h-1b's filed and comparing to current head count).

    for california service center:

    companies need to analyze their DE-6 and look to see who hasn't been paid the lca wage for all four quarters. Give proper/proactive explanations for people where it is not obvious why they weren't paid proper lca wage.

    get legitimate client letter/purchase order from end client. Ensure that when filing H-1b; the LCA covers the client location. USCIS will generally not accept a new LCA covering the location after the h-1b has been filed.

    Ensure the numbrer of active h-1b's is close to your headcount. If people haven't joined or aren't going to join; cancel h-1b's immediately.

    For consulate: do not ever give fake purchase order/client letter. Consulates are very smart that they know major companies do not give such letters. They are frequently referring cases to department of state in kentucky to contact clients who wrote the letters. If client doesn't confrm (ie., HR at client company) then it is a very, very big problem for all people concerned.

    For extensions; file as early as possible so you don't have issues with your drivers license, etc.

    USCIS relies on a lot of case precdece to deny cases. many times they are misapplying these cases and going outside the law what is really required. In motion to reopens; california is very quick in givingin another decision. However; vermont sits on it for many, many months and they very rarely change their decisions.

    When changing client locations then as a minimum get a new LCA but if you really want to cover yourself then consider amending h-1b for new location.

    Not everyone is filing 485 only. Some folks are filing 140 and 485 and in that case, technically, there is one part which has Premium Processing.

    140K GCs are available on Oct 1. But, dates are not current. Based on this, there appears to be a law that prevents USCIS from recieving ALL AOSs. I am guessing that this law specifies a cap on AOSs that USCIS can recieve from lawyers. (This is why I am keen on knowing conditions for setting dates in VB)

    The following argues that it is hard for this cap to reach exactly on the end of every month.

    It is impossible to believe that this cap was not violated in June when it is possible that USCIS got 200K-600K AOSs.


    only 27% of the annual quota is released Oct 1
    the first 3 quarters cannot use more than 27% each
    that is the whole issue
    on the first working day of the month/quarter, where were the remaining 19%
    that should be available by law?
    how can they allot them on sunday (july 1)? if so they must be willing to accept my application on sunday too...

    If opinion polls and media coverage are any indication, it appears democrats shall rule
    the house.

    For us the best congress would be the one which passes SKIL bill.

    It was unfortunate that despite Republicans ruling the house, they did not even discuss
    anything on immigration, specially for high tech skilled workers, even though SKIL was
    introduced by Republican leaders.

    I hope they do *something* during lame duck session.

    Thanks dingudi. If you know of a solid case where someone was RFE'd because of landing while on 485, then it looks like I might seriously consider abandoning it as well.

    One last question: Let's hypothetically say that I do decide to land and somehow manage to get back into the US without any issues using my AP. However, every subsequent time I leave the U.S. and return, I run the risk of getting "caught" at the POE with regards to the 485/Canadian residency conflict. Am I correct in this assessment?

    Again, I appreciate your input immensely. Thanks!

    I landed on March 17, 08 and came back the same day to the US using Automatic Visa Revalidation. I had no questions asked either by Canadian or US authorities. When you land the Canadian authorities will staple a piece of paper to your PP as proof of PR until you get the PR card. While re-entering the US I remove that stapled paper as it was very annoying every time you opened the PP. Nobody will question you just because you have a plan B.

    I have mentioned IV to a some Indians. They have no interest. Some of them are not bothered about retrogression. They exepect the GC to fall in their lap while they are sipping tea and eating samosa.

    Also, it is hard to trust a mainly Indian set up. The Indian contracting companies have set a very shameless level. I told my friends that IV appears different but it is hard to change your opinion when you see something else 10 times a day.

    I apolozie to the sensitive Indians if I this is breaking news. But this is the general feeling and a reason for hate in the blogs: where there is smoke there is fire. It is embarassing.

    For the life of me, I couldn't figure this out either.
    I also don't understand why most of EB applicants are so oblivious to the EB-based immigration situation.
    I am from ROW, and I could only shake my head in disbelief when one of my Indian friends asked me innocently if the 'situation' was 'really that bad'?
    If there really are 600K EB applicants, and all we can get is 6K members, then perhaps we deserve the crappy situation we find ourselves in today.

    Case : Paper based@TSC RD Last week of May.
    No LUD
    CPO: 8/18 (waited 82 -83 days )
    Don't know the period yet. Whatever it may be, I will be happy to get the Cards (hope all the details on the EAD card are correct).

    Good luck to all, hope and pray everyone gets their EAD renewed.

    Leasson learned: File EAD renewal (send application just when 120 days are remaining, so that have enough breathing time to open SR or take infopass etc. incase the cards are not processed in time). Don't think much about loosing 2-3 months.

    It is frustrating to see that there is a campaign going on to allow for 485 filing even when pd is current and another thread running that says another fiasco would be bad .... everybody talks/writes/feels only as "what benefits them is good, everything else is not worthwhile or bad"

    True the chance of another July 2007 happening is very dim as USCIS has learnt their lesson. Also they have a better estimation of the pending count.
    I myself have EAD and i support 485 filing without priority date getting current. Even though in the final GC scheme of things that puts a whole bunch of more peope ahead of me, I still support it. At least an EAD lets you chnage a job after 180 days albeit in the same job specification.
    Maybe IV Core has some idea about that (485 filing without PD current) and how it will pan out. Talk to them

    I thought that we have to send our I-485 applications to NSC regardless of which state you are from.

    Is that not true? How come your friend sent it to TSC?

    Also, what do you mean by "Nebraska had a 6 day lag till Jan 1st"?

    Thanks.
    It depends on where ur I140 approval came from. What I mean by lag is they receive the application on 1st jun, they are working on assigning the lin # after 6 days. If they were at the same pace they should start working on the new I485 recived on Jun 1st today.

    Yes, registering with the Police department of the city is a must. All they need (at least in San Jose) is your name, driver's license number etc. They will register it.

    You dont need permit for walking on sidewalks. You need permit only if you plan to stop traffic and block streets. None of us want to do that.

    Check with your city's police department and find out how to register for march on sidewalks without stopping traffic. I guess that's a lot easier than getting permits to stop traffic etc.

    Now, as to rallies other than San Jose rally, if you plan to lead the rally and get the event registered, then please email me at jay@Immigrationvoice.org and I will help you get members. I have list of all members and their states and once you finalize the event, I will email the entire list and point them to you. I will also provide you with material, guidance and Immigration voice's message and talking points should you be approached by a reporter. In fact, its a good idea to tell local papers in your area before hand so that the know to cover the event.

    Members in NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, LA etc should have absolutely no problems in finding enough members planning to walk on the street for an hour. I will help you find enough participants in your city, if you send me an email and if you are ready to lead these events.

    Well, following the discussion on BS and MS grads and some of the members cribbing why the MS(from US) students get special treatment, here are my 2 cents.

    1) By makng sure that a person is MS they are making sure the population getting greencard is YOUNG !! , it's simple, highly educated "kids" who understand the US culture, since they have studied in US universities and have a whole life ahead of them to do good in Research etc.

    Kids gel in fast for e.g if you see a person with BS and MS from the US, his behaviour is attuned to the society as compared to one who just has a MS and a BS from India.

    2) On the other hand someone who has a MTech or worked 10 years in India, chances are these guys are already in their late 30's or 40's, so they are not getting the youth in, or a person who will take a lot more time to gel in the soceity as compared to the student.

    3) Most importantly, they can't trust people whose degrees are not from the US. Their quality of education, their authenticity. Also, I think the quality of top 100 US univs, which most indians come to anyway, is much better than most of Indian Univs for MS. The kind of infrastructure and teaching they are exposed to is tremendous.

    PS: Someone mentioned that PhD's get paid for reseach. Doing researrch is extremely demanding. I would rate it twice as demanding as a regular job! and the amount the students get is peanuts! Like ~$1500 a month for working ~ 60 hrs a week in research is hell !!

    Unfortunately, in doing this you may loose some really good candidates, who may not have a US degree, but thats the price you pay "to be safe than sorry"

    I think, this should help people who were complaining about this difference better understand that even though they have better profile, it's from a different country and it becomes difficult to verify that.

    but, MOST IMPORTANTLY, it's in everyones( BS MS,H1,F1 ..) interest IRRESPECTIVE of the CIS or any other bill going through, the SKIL bill should make it to the floor.

    In America people having more debt has better credit history. In our country it would be considered stupid to give credit to a man in debt.

    If America is so unfair, who/what is compelling you to stay, heard there is an apartment available in Nandita's bulding in Bombay.

    Per my lawyer,

    1. USCIS does not mandate that you must inform when you invoke AC21. You can inform them if and when you get RFE.
    2. I strongly believe that we should not accept job offers that is not related to the job you originally applied for. My lawyer says it is usually vague and if USCIS determines other wise I will be in trouble. And for the same reason I am hesitant to accept very good employee offer from my current client.
    3. Self employment is ok as long as the requirements are met and that is what is I am doing now.

    I changed my job twice using AC-21 informed USCIS once, I don't see any risk itz a law, as long as you are able to produce paperwork that your current job is similar to previous one you are safe, any decent employer would give you a supporting letter (oh ya exluding blood sucking desi pimps).

    I find many guys calcluate too much and let go good opportunities, get real guys no one is behind you if you have job and not done anything wrong,

    I really don't care when I get my GC as long as they renew my EAD ( I am on my foruth EAD)

    Yes, that is understood.
    The question is if one has worked as a contractor and got a employment RFE and the company provided a letter stating a full time consultant job, has USCIS rejected such a response?

    The AC-21 job offer must be full-time and permanent.

    Guys,
    I never beleive in polls. The questions are always framed in such a way so that max people go and answer the way the poll wants....example below

    Q1 ... Do you as an American support CIR for resolving immigration issues this country faces ?

    Q2 ... Do you as an American support CIR so that illegal immigrants be a Citizen of this country ?

    Looks at the above two questions, I think for Q1 lot of people would say "Yes" and "No" for the Q2, so I never beleive on the polls , the questions are always framed to get the answer the poll wants.

    Filed two EAD renewals to TSC: one on 07/06/08, another on 07/14/08.
    Both included only the documents required by the filing instruction, nothing besides.
    The first one was accepted, ND 8 Jul, the second returned with a request for a copy of I-485.
    Added and re-sent again- no receipt yet.

    Got emails today: Card production ordered for both applications

    did you move within the same city, or was this an out of state move?

    - if within the same city, you could possibly check with people living at your old address...who knows, they could be helpful. generally usps does not deliver uscis mail without your name on the mailbox; also there is no mail forwarding for such mails

    - check with uscis to see if the card was already mailed out, or otherwise try to get their help in tracking it down (given their customer service though, this could be difficult)

    - your attorney should also receive a copy of the approval notice, so check with him/her. uscis sends the card and welcome notice only to you, but they (afaik) generally send out a copy of the approval notice to the attorney as well.

    - if unable to resolve this in 30-days, file I-90 (see below). again, check with attorney before doing anything.

    - can also consider getting I-551 stamp from local uscis office

    http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b3f7ab0a43b5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD

    Filing Fee if you are filing because:
    • You never received your Permanent Resident Card; or
    • Your Permanent Resident Card was issued with incorrect information because of a USCIS administrative error;
    Then there is no fee required. Please review the Where to File Instructions, below, if you are filing for these reasons. Total filing fee = $0

    If you are filing because your card was never received

    • If USCIS mailed you a Permanent Resident Card more than 30 days ago and you have not received it; and
    • It has been returned to USCIS by the Post Office as undeliverable; and
    • You have not moved from the address you provided to USCIS during the application or immigrant visa process that led to the creation of the card not received;

    My husband called USCIS today to check if they have correct address on file and alas they had old address. When we moved after filing for I-485/EAD/AP, we changed the address in Oct and also after we received receipt notices in Jan. We received EAD/AP/Finger printing notices at the present address for all three of us and now they are saying they had old address on my husband's I485 only, great!!!
    They were not sure where the card/welcome notice/approval notice were mailed, to my old address or the attorney. Will check with the attorney today, if not what is the procedure as the card will return back. Thanks in advance.

    Well guys...

    I agree that India is a land of pollution - polluted air and polluted minds (corruption, jealousy, materialistic attitude), it is still a very native part of our life. No matter where we live on this planet, whatever hapens in India, we do get affected by it.

    I just visited India after 7 years. As far as India goes, I love:

    -- My parents living there, perhaps they will never come to USA to stay with me permanently, and
    -- The school kids I see on road in their school uniform, waiting for their school vans or walking as a group, making jokes and laughing out of their breath.

    I always wonder that they do not know what hardhsip lies ahead of them, when they grow up after finishing their school - competition to get college admission, studies, competitive jobs, corruption, ever rising cost of living, etc. etc.

    Most of my old friends in India have gone too busy in making money and 'rising on the top". It is as if they are in some kind of a race in panic, so they don't get left behind everybody else and what not.

    What does "rising on the top" mean anyway? Whom are you collecting money for?

    I recently bought the latest Samsung 3D LED TV to have a better movie experience. And I noticed that I enjoyed movies on small 22" inch TV more than I enjoy on a big LED TV - provided the movie is good and I have a good company.

    So my friend (who is leaving for India)...

    You can find happiness and joy in little things in life, irrespective of where you are staying. These commodities are not exclusively sold in India or anywhere else.

    If you have made a decision to move to India, be proud of it and do it! Just set a good example in india and don't get involved in the dirty corrupted cycles there.

    Good Luck!!

    Nicely written! Out of all above posts, this one seems to be sensible and I just seem to like this much! :)

    :D

    Asking help from Senator Sessions for your G-card is like asking help from Bil Ladan to wipe out islamic terrorism. I w'd be extremely curious to read his reponse if you get one at all.

    This guy was talking about benefits of legal immigration and introducing Canada/Australia style G-card system only a few weeks ago when law makers were discussing illegal immigration. When it came to legal immigration, then he stood against it like a wall of ice. Talk of people using divide and rule, he is the perfect example of that.

    On a sad note, it seems even Dems are doing the same thing. When Cornyn wanted to put our bill in India Nuke bill, Joe Biden said dems will take that up along with CIR next jan. Same old game of promises and betrayal. Now even dems will not be taking up CIR next year as this has been turned into a very sentimental issue now by Lou dobbs and his xenophobic racist gang. Did not you see Nancy Pelosi's agenda for january? They are worried about their presidential and house races in 2008 and don't want to take any chance. Harry Reid might say this is one of the first things on his agenda next year and Tad Kennedy and McCain might keep meeting and talking over a cup of tea, but we have seen all this drama so many times that it does not thrill us any more.

    Bottomline, we are not needed the way we used to be in '70s and '80's and so be contended with the current pace of g-card processing. If you have patience and luck, stay here, else leave.

    Thanks for your advice. The intent of the letter is to show a different perspective to Senator Sessions. Nothing more or nothig less. He said he did not receive any feedback from legal immigrants. Fine, we say here it comes. If he continues to block legal immigration reform bills, he has to find another pretext, not "no feedback from immigrants".

    There is always a rational side in every human being. Senator Sessions is smart. Let us hope Senator Sessions surprises us by bringing his own version of EB immigration reform.

    everyone here is in favor of supporting BILLS and what not for recapturing VISA's and stuff.. but I believe Prevention is better than cure... why do we have to support or introduce these BILLS in the first place.. if USCIS had worked effeciently all these years ? I think instead of introducing BILLS after 5 years to recapture VISAa why cant we do something to make USCIS efficeint right now ??

    Make USCIS more transparent and efficient -- that should be the GOAL.

    Yes, registering with the Police department of the city is a must. All they need (at least in San Jose) is your name, driver's license number etc. They will register it.

    You dont need permit for walking on sidewalks. You need permit only if you plan to stop traffic and block streets. None of us want to do that.

    Check with your city's police department and find out how to register for march on sidewalks without stopping traffic. I guess that's a lot easier than getting permits to stop traffic etc.

    Now, as to rallies other than San Jose rally, if you plan to lead the rally and get the event registered, then please email me at jay@Immigrationvoice.org and I will help you get members. I have list of all members and their states and once you finalize the event, I will email the entire list and point them to you. I will also provide you with material, guidance and Immigration voice's message and talking points should you be approached by a reporter. In fact, its a good idea to tell local papers in your area before hand so that the know to cover the event.

    Members in NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, LA etc should have absolutely no problems in finding enough members planning to walk on the street for an hour. I will help you find enough participants in your city, if you send me an email and if you are ready to lead these events.

    What drives the decision for a bill to be considered in Congress/Senate? WHY can't we pitch SKIL or TALENT Bills as a means to separate legal immigration from the ongoing CIR debate?

    If politicians are introducing these bills, they should be willing to back them up separtely instead of saying that these come into picture only if CIR fails. Or is the introduction of other bills a sign of CIR's imminent failure? Since the top IV team has the visibility with politicians, this hypocrisy should be resolvable. Please tell us why these bills cannot be taken up while CIR is pending? Isn't that what the lobbying company is supposed to help us with?

    can we file a lawsuit against USCIS for not following their own guidelines and "discriminating " against cases ?

    All cases should be treated equally... don't care whether they are low hanging fruit or not... every case should be represented equally before an IO...

    I dont understand why should hard to determine cases be penalized for USCIS's laziness throughout the year and then trying to speed up the process in the last two months...

    I think you also need a Canadian address.

    For people who have already landed and were not able to get a PR card applied, please follow the following link and apply for it.

    http://immipedia.ca/CIC_call_centre

    You need to have the following documents with you when you make the call:-
    1. Landing Paper which you got stapled to your passport.
    2. All the people who landed, as you cant apply for your spouse or kids PR.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    From all the options we have at hand immediately, I suggest the following to be the quickest and most effective

    Chant the mantra "Man Yo Ho Rehna Kyo"
    This should be done as many times as possible for 2 weeks
    Avoid chanting from 12:00-3:00
    Keep in mind the person who you think is the obstacle on your path while chanting

    It worked for someone I know. It worked for me. And now to make it work for all of us we all have to chant. Remember, just 2 weeks!

    Below is what I sent. Maybe we can tweak this letter and send it to all senators and congressmen.


    Subject: Discrimination of Indian Immigrants

    Dear President Obama,

    I wanted to bring to your attention the plight of hundreds of thousands of highly skilled Indian immigrants waiting endlessly for many years in order to obtain a permanent residency in the US. The process of getting a permanent residency is a long, winding, time consuming, financially and emotionally draining experience, with no end at sight. After 5 to 10 years of waiting in line, paying taxes, obeying law, many high skilled workers from India find that permanent residency is only a dangling carrot that they may never get it.

    One of the biggest hurdles for high skilled immigrants from India is a country cap that limits applicants from any one country from having more than 7% of the available employment based green cards (140,000 visa numbers per year). This means applicants from countries like Andorra and Luxembourg get the same number of green cards as applicants from India and China. This causes a person from India and China to wait 5 to 10 years in order to get permanent residency while applicants from all other countries have zero wait time. We are here in USA because we wanted to be a part of USA, and not because we came from a certain country. All applicants should be treated equally and country cap only allows discrimination by national origin in the disguise of fairness to all, as US has a lot more high skilled workers from India or China than from Andorra or Luxembourg.

    President Obama, we are here to pursue the American Dream and we find hurdles at every level during the immigration process. I request you to kindly remove the discriminatory country cap and provide us relief. This is a small step that can enormously help hundred of thousands of high skilled immigrants and we will be grateful to you for our lifetime.

    Thank you President Obama and you are doing a wonderful job!

    Sincerely,
    Xxxxx xxxxx

    You content seems to be okay. I urge everyone to use http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ website to post this content on whitehouse webpage. Sheer volume of the same request may draw Presidents attention to this issue....Also, it doesn't cost anything to do this.

    In continuation of the post from Nenneo, I had the chance to see Newt Gingrich, ex-speaker of the house and who is currently testing the waters for a possible 2008 Pres. nomination from the GOP. His response, I think, speaks volumes about the type of people the GOP would like to see here.

    He indicated that he is totally against illegal immigration and pro legal immigration. But, when it came to students who were pursuing higher education in the US, according to Newt, "is a no-brainer, we get them here, we train and teach them, it does not make sense to let them go. These students should be given a visa as soon as they find a job, as long as they have not committed any felony and especially since the students have been in the US for 2+years it is sufficient time to get to know them and their backgrounds and for them to be assimilated in the US way of life."

    My 2-cents to clarify the thinking behind giving more preference to US educated students vs non-US educated ones. This coming from a senior GOP leader.

    The views expressed in the context of sending grammatically correct letters is appreciated. As such, it would make sense if we can send the same letter, which would not only emphasize the same point but would be grammatically correct as well :)

    Sending poorly drafted letters may not speak well of our community please

    Regards,

    Saptaswara

    Sending a grammatically incorrect letter is much better than sending no letter or sending one in Jun-10. From last 2 days, I saw no one doing anything. Hence I sent my letter. Correct, I didn't spend too much time on it. If you so care for grammar when are you getting the correct letter out?
