I am kind of thinking of getting a template kind of system where in members can involve and put in their thoughts and once an article ( of some interest) reaches to a final stage and gets approved by the majority it would be forwarded to the news papers / Journals.
I am not sure how much time it takes, but let me try out crystallizing the thoughts towards this end.
Would be great, if few people can join me in this endeavor. PM folks/writers who wish to involve themselves in this process.
This is a process that has to evolve and please do not have expectations as to see results right away.
However, if some one is ready to take the lead.... Please take over...
First thing we should do is to highlight our issues on our own website ( IV.org ). At this moment we are not even doing that. For example, today's "Processing date bulletin" which came out exactly 15 days late and that too with dates traveling back in time should be highlighted first on our own web site.
IV home page has not been updated for past 3 months or so.
Why not put these kind of painful headlines on our home page first big , bold highlighted ( eg "USCIS screws immigrants again with latest visa bulletin" ) and then dedicate few lines to it with proper links to last month's and current bulletin.
Now forward these links to news hungry journalist who will automatically investigate and write in their papers and journals.
Dedicate few inches of space for today's IV headlines on our home page first.

Unless, people realize that it is in their interest to spread this grass root effort it is all futile. Do you guys really think that distributing fliers by four guys at the parade is going to make a difference.
Though I really commend what these guys did and they were truly heroes but if I were them, then based on the turn out (only 4 people) I would have decided to go back.
After all, these were not doing only for themselves but for every one else too.
What a pitty! :mad:

Yes India, I totally second it. India as of now is a booming economy and will be in the future, we all are professionals educated if other economies can benefit why can�t our own benefit from what we have. People all talk about corruption, corrupted politicians, red tape etc, why don�t we take a step towards pushing it down, like once my friend said about putting a website that will expose all of them even a clerk who is corrupted can be captured on a mobile phone and posted on the site.. Just a thought and well being an immigrant means for some time in life you cant even vote(Voting is an important thing in democracy).I believe India will keep growing in the years to come and will be good option .I personally believe being a part of developing some thing even a country is great thing rather than sit on top of something that�s already developed by some one�Just a thought.;)

I heard that it can take anytime between 2-8 weeks and the H1B holder is not supposed to start working till they receive the SSN.
H1B workers come to USA and start work immediately. It takes 2-3 weeks for SSN. For paying salary SSN is required, without which a company can't pay salary - but they pay advances.
I remember myself getting advances, California drivers permit, Auto Insurance, etc. without SSN.

Dear All ,
I recently got my I-140 approved, got our(me and spouse) EAD and AP too.Now what I am wondering is that
1.Am I still on H1 status or the status now becomes EAD ?
2. If my H1 still holds good then should I go back to India to get my fresh H1 stamping as it will expire november next year or should I go for one year H1 extensions(as I heard from friends ) till I get the GC ?
3. Is there any stipulated time limit within which my wife has to apply for her SSN( we have not yet applied for it. )
4. My passport is going to expire on December next year. Do I need to go to India for renewal or it can be done from here itself. If it can be done from here itself then when is the earliest to start that process ?( I will be happy if u could send some links that will guide me ).
Thank you very much in advance.

1.As someone suggested trying for fellowship will skip all the steps to practice OBGYN unrestricted.Again these are very limited spots and usually one needs the right contacts for this IMO.
2.Go the usual route...Pass USMLE Ste1, 2, CS and 3 (4 exams) and then you are ECFMG certified.Once ECFMG certified you can apply for the match (you can apply for the match with one step passed too but chances are you extremely low for an interview call).
The residency match happens once every year...many sources online...just google 'the residency match' and the process is self explanatory with lots of forums on websites like usmleworld.com, kaplan.com,scutwork.com,findaresident.com etc etc
3.My 2 cents most folks in her situation will find OBGYN residency just too much to handle (imagine > 80 hrs/ week for 4 yrs ) after slogging for the exams :rolleyes:
I would also recommend her to look into Physician Assistants programs.She will get a credit considering that she is a physician and she can finish it in 1-1.5 yrs. Work and Lifestyle is good and the money is good too :D.

Does your Attorney says that counter will start from Aug 28, 2007 ?
Did he say anything about Aug 28, 2007 falling out of Aug 17, 2007 limit date for filing AOS and can that cause any issues?
I am still waiting for an answer from my Attorney. Will post the details here as soon as I hear anything from them.
Nope...And he is one of those who stops answering if there are too many questions...maybe i will get these answers next week :rolleyes:

Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.
in 1999-2000 ISNAmerica group was formed by immigrants affected by backlogs...it dissipated with the AC21 rule being passed...I hope and pray that immigrationvoice does not go away like that... We need a permanent entity to fight not just the unjust laws of the land but also anti immi groups - who want to close the door behind them.

add72 is correct, the indian economy is not dependent on the IT outsourcing business any more.
If you research more you will find that Tata steel is currently one of the largest steel makers in the world after acquiring corus.
Infosys might aquire capgemini/ernst and young soon making it to compete directly with IBM and EDS for high level consulting business
Chrysler might be sold to tata motors
etc etc
Earlier goverment policy was inhibiting indian businesses in india as well as globally
Now the policy is changing and indian business are thriving both at home and internationally.
They are looking to hire the top talent paying top money.
Thats why its in the indian govt's interest that the GC / immigration process is skewed up here :) so that its best people come back and paricipate in the economy back home

Fellow IVians:
Background:
We are one EAD/AP. (may not matter in this scenario but still mentioning)
My daughter is a US born Citizen and she is under 2 years old with a valid Indian VISA.
She has been living in India with her Grand Parents for the past one year.
She will be travelling to the US accompanied by her uncle & Aunt who are returning to USA at the end of their vacation.
Question:
Since both parents are not accompanying the infant is there some documentation needed?
Has anyone done this before? Can you please post your experiences and suggestions?
I will be preparing a notarized letter of consent along with her Birth Certificate...is there anything else?
Any information will be sincerely appreciated
Thanks, Mattresscoil!!

As I suspected, it is on the sensor.
I have just run though the mirror lock up procedure, and I was OK with that. I'll take a look at the sensor with a magnifying glass, see if I can see the spec. Failing that, I'll get down to the specialist.
All this does make me wonder if th DSLR route was wise http://www.dphoto.us/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

Extensions are not allowed. But.... you can always enter Canada before the final date and then come back to the USA to finish your tasks. I have heard that you have to apply for the Canadian equivalent of the GC once you get there, which gets mailed out few days later, so if you have some one there it would be helpful. Also must have a visa to return back to the US.

I am in US right now on H1B status, I've my wife on H4 status, I'll be leaving to renew my H1B again, but I heard that some people get their case under review for months, so I am planning to re-enter to US using my AP in case this happened to me.
My question now:
Would re-entering to US using my AP void my wife's H4 status? Knowing the fact that I'll be working with my H1B status and I am not planning to use my EAD
If you can provide me with some links on USCIS supporting this, it would be great
Yes in that case your wife will be in AOS status. As long has she has a pending 485, this should not matter. Her status is always tied to your status.

Hardly - performance is one of the big advantages of Silverlight. It runs a similar version of the .NET CLR in it! What are the examples that you've seen that run slowly?
So Silverlight 2 runs way better than 1.0 on some of the sites you showed us. I take it back.
Plus I mean there a good chance Silverlight will have DX/OpenGL support before Flash gets any where close to full 3d support.
Can Silverlight load .x models yet?

I went to Delhi recently for emergency appointment. The person who replied to my email (within 12 hours) told me to call next morning.
He gave me option for next day and told me to bring demand draft rather than their receipt for HDFC bank (lady at the counter did ask me about it though).
You should complete the online application as per their recommendations on website. It is very important. They would avoid data entry by you doing so.
Counter Lady put a blue sticker on my passport just like old times and asked me to collect my passport from embassy counter itself.
After usual long wait, I was interviewed and even though I did not have some of the documents she asked, she did not create any problems.
However, she said since my application is not cleared in PIMS, she is helpless in issuing visa. She gave me pink slip with ' petition not in PIMS' and emergency appointment written over it.
She asked me to check status on line at NEw delhi embassy website.
Anyway, it took them 2 weeks to clear PIMS and I had to postpone my flight 2 times. Emails to them is useless. they would not reply at Delhi. Phone is answered between 2-3 PM and I have to constantly redial many many times before some one will pick up.
I asked for them to return my passport many times so that I can return on AP but they would not do that. (could have been risky long term as my I 140 is not cleared yet). My h1b attorney`s paralegal did advice me to come back on AP if I am at risk of loosing my job. She said usually going back to H1b is very simple process even after you enter on AP.
Anyway, If you have AP, think twice if your employer is not willing to wait longer than necessary.
By the way my information was never updated on website even after I got the visa. My wife was calling DOS in US and they were very helpful in telling the status of PIMS.
Hopefully that helps you in your difficult times.
