What takes priority in life? Time with family or getting stuck in the GC mill.
I find it disheartening that a senior member like you would advice someone on foregoing their pleasure trip and donating to IV. Would you be willing to cancel all your pleasure trips/family outings to donate money to IV? If you do, i feel sorry for your family.
Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year.

Notwithstanding the good research below...
Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Given this is legislation, I don't think rule changes can trump it. I don't believe per country limits will change. Besides, how is that a solution to anything? This is not an Indian or Chinese issue. It's a legal immigrant issue.
See pg CRS-5 of document http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/84914.pdf
Two important exceptions to the per-country ceilings have been enacted in the
past decade. Foremost is an exception for certain family-sponsored immigrants.
More specifically, the INA states that 75% of the visas allocated to spouses and
children of LPRs (2ndA family preference) are not subject to the per-country ceiling.18
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry
ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act
of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based
immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long
as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
The impact of these revisions to the per-country ceilings is discussed later in this

My experience was just great. My company had inhouse immigration deptt and their own attorney as employees.. She was just great and very transparent on every process. She sent all the documents and updated my at every step on where I stand.
I really respect that lady, who was doing way beyond her job profile to keep us updated and well informed. never paid anything for the attorney service or GC filing except a one time fee of $500 when the company hired some attorneys on contract to get over the overwhelming request during July fiasco. The attorney also adviced me and guided me on how to leave the company and what is AC-21 and how to do that. So gave me a lot of pointers on how to choose a new attorney. Though I had a lot of conflict of interest with my company policy and management, one thing I always appreciated about it was that their healthcare and immigration was far better than any company in US. Now I heard its not great and employees have issues related to this. I paid on $15 for the delivery of the baby and that was the total amount I paid in 9 months .. thats it.
The crux of the story is , when choosing a company , initially these things really dun matter but in the long run these are things that really matters, I would suggest everyone who is switching the companies, make sure the company has the right healthcare plan and immigration services. Do not hesitate to discuss this with the HR. I always do and make it clear, whenever I am questioned by HR , I just tell them , "The company has selected me but I haven't selected the company yet." The HR also has the pressure to close the position they will provide you with all the different options. Do not always run for the $$$ a few 1000 $$$ doesn't make the difference as at the end of the day those also shrink with tax and deductions, but the perks like these stay and pay more than $$$

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
I'm pretty upset too after getting the same nasty surprise. Fortunately I only have about 100 miles to move to return home. I'm surprised that a major corporation like the one that hired me would be so sleazy.

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Were you part of the call yesterday on the Filing I-485 when PD is not current....we do have plans like these...and take part.

No response yet from WillIBLucky. Does any other member want to organize the call for this chapter? pls. go ahead. Members need to take active role in the state chapter and keep it alive. It is easy to give ideas and question others but is difficult to actually work for something. I urge chapter members to communicate with each other and organize a call.

Filing seperately is probably not a good option. Since spouse on ITIN, means no income. Given this, the amount you loose on deductions for single will morethan offset the $600 you get.
So one should file joint, and wait for SSN and claim the rebates. I think you can claim the rebates anytime within 3 years. Just sharing what I read in other related threads before and made sense to me.
All said, I still don't know why they ask SSN. Some say for better disbursement of funds etc. But that doesn't make any sense to me. They always make life harder for aliens. Probably they couldn't find a solid excuse to deny rebates to H1B-SSN's. Otherwise this would have been a bigger curse. Most of us got lucky, or they just felt spouses with SSN more likely either both working or primary contributed taxes for many years, so its okay to give back some. whatever reasons behind it..

Truth always hurts. It is not too much talking when I say that people can't afford to contribute 20 bucks to IV. Out of roughly 9000 members, only 200 contributed in the last contribution drive and now you should be able to do the math yourself. That is the fact and it's very troubling that 98% of the members chose to contribute nothing.
If you expect 200 people to find relief for 1 million so called high skilled immigrants present in United States, may be you need to wake up and do some reality check. Just checking IV 50 times a day for an update will not bring any relief, if that's what you are counting on. No wonder we are yet to see any relief whatsoever.
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

Are you guys nuts?
Which country in the world would lobby another country to take in its citizens? Why would India lobby America to give permanent residence to its highly skilled Indian citizens? So that America can benefit? This would be tantamount to treason.
You are not talking about H1B here. This is concerning Permanent Residence for eventual American citizenship. Think reasonably guys!
