I have really had good experiences when i renewed my passport, my wifes passport and also when i applied for my childrens PIO card. On each ocassion the documents arrived before time and the service at the SFO consulate was great when i called them with a concern. On all 4 ocassions i use the $20 option to get the document by Fedex. We spend thousands on the recurring nightmare at USCIS, $20 for peace of mind is not a big deal.
I have also observed that we tend to get overly agressive when we talk to indian govt officials here. I think we expect bad service and we mentally prepare ourselves to fight. I am not saying that all do this but some of my friends did concur with the thought. There are many geuine cases where there is a problem, as some desi govt officers are sticklers for making sure that forms are in 'order'.:D
Same with me (again SFO consulate in late 2004). No issue and everything happened smoothly. When I called to enquire on the status, they responded very professionally.
Again there are several factors to it. If the person recently came to USA, may be he will be much more polite and as days goes on, there true self start erupting OR its just they easily show their frustrations given there job security or could be we are loosing our respect with fellow indians as well recent times after all INS and federal governments are doing to aliens. Just my thoughts

I think if USCIS start publishing the number of applications (based on PD of course) pending for each month, then we can predict our future and life will be much easier.
We are not asking for too much and I think IV can make it happen fairly easily.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Right now we dont know what happened but it will be months before anything comes out.
Also overall safety record of AF is now pathetic, blame it on weather or something else.
1990s: 3 Fatal accidents
2000s:
2000: AF concorde crashes in Paris on takeoff, all 109 onboard killed. Cause Tire burst due a metal plate that fell from previous plane taking off, the tire burst hit the petrol tanks under the wings and burst them.
2005: AF A340 (aircraft type with no prior incident) overruns runway in Toronto and pilot is blamed for error.
2009: AF A330 disappears mid air.
Total fatal accidents in 20 years = 6
Last fatal accident on Air India was Kanishka bombing in 1985.
Indian Airlines had most notorious record from 1980 - 1993. However, there are no fatal incidents since 1993 on Indian Airlines
and all of us hate Air India and Indian Airlines for safety record. Until recently they both flew really old planes.

Given that the dates have moved to Oct 05, for someone with a PD in Mar 2005 how long will it take from now to get the actual card.
-Chiru
well chiru....
a applicant get the approval on the first day his pd is current or he might not even get approved ... it all depends on what uscis has done with his application in the past

Just imagine this, you spend 6 months training an international grad, spend $5000 - $7000 per H1B and after 1 - 2 yrs, you will have to start all over again. After a couple of months, the "new hire" will just be angry at you (just look at all the people on this forum who curse bodyshoppers - and just to clarify - I am not implying that the company you start will be a bodyshopping firm) and he will quit your company and join someone else. And you will have to start the process all over again. The guy who you hired on H1B will be now join someone else and depending on your business, you will be left high and dry.
I know this because the very first job I joined, the philosophy at the company was to hire fresh grads (the "get them cheap" works for American Grads too). My boss used to tell me "we can get two for the price of one". The year I got hired, the company recruited 15 new grads (a new "Product Development" dept. was being started) - and I was the only H1B. After 14 months, when the business started picking up, the company did not even bother to raise our pay or even recogonize us. Guess what happened? Over a period of 2 months, 12 of us quit for better jobs. Guess who now had to look for 12 people and at the sametime deliver the product to the clients on time?
If I understand your argument then you can conclude that: faster EB GC processing will decrease wage supression.
However, Kim Berry (in One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm)) is saying that faster EB GC procesing will increase wage supression.
Please rephrase the above and blog it at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm). Thanks!

Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, ofcourse)? What are they fighting for?
I don't see how. If the bills pass, then everybody in queue benefits. Simply switching to EB2 is not going to work because it is also retro. The people impacted by retrogression should take the lead in fixing the mess.

If you extend the deadline anymore, you should change the name to either
The Honorable Barack Obama :mad::mad: or
The Honorable Hillary Clinton :mad::mad:
Every joke has got a part of ...joke.
I was thinking about sending letters (not exactly as to WH but about legal immigrants issues) along with contributions for their campaign to the above named persons.

Actually some of concern of EB3 is valid.But their explanation cannot convince DOS or USCIS. According to DOS/CIS EB1 has more skills than EB2 and EB2 has more skills than EB3. That is not true in many cases. EB1 most cases are genuine except some cases in multi national managers. A manager in CTS could file in EB1 but at the same time similar manager in Intel cannot file in EB1. But only very few are in numbers because of restrictions like working in other country branch etc. So people do not bother about EB1 being current always.
Coming to EB2, the job requirement require Masters or 5 years experience. If the requirement is genuine then it is ok to give priority to EB2. But in reality(mainly consulting companies) the job requirement is decided mostly in Lawyers office or by candidate just because candidate has
master degree or 5 years experience. Though CIS scrutinise the EB2 applications still rejection rate is less. And also many persons trying to use 3 year degree and 2 year Master and apply for Eb2 by adding PG diploma etc.
So it appears that there is no difference in skills between EB2 and EB3. If CIS and companies follow strictly the law and good faith then number of candidates would have been less in EB2 and EB2 would have been current and remaining would have been transferred to EB3. But these reasons could not be given to DOS/CIS. According to DOS/CIS EB2 has more skills than EB3.
Are u saying all eb2s have earned the experience under the table. Then why couldn't you do so then ?
Dont blame the lawyers or the employers. May be there are one or two, which I am yet to find. But if you have seen it and very sure of it, why didnt u complain about it earlier to the appropiate officials.
Dont be a cry baby.

I like the way you tihnk! (in a good way :))
i think if we are paying for something we should have the ownership it too.
lets format a reply saying that 5K is too much for the job...if they can give us their Data Model diagram, we can give them the code in a week without any cost.

This is like telling passengers to move to the other side of the boat when it starts sinking one side. The outcome is only making the boat sink faster. Remember, the huge backlogs are not completely due to unavailable visa numbers.
Unless there is a real need, moving from EB3 to EB2 dont make much sense.
Do not agree with this. This is not a fair analogy.
Nobody is saying IV should stop efforts for administrative and legislative fixes.
If someone has an option to switch to EB2, he/she should definitely try it.
