Some suggestions:
1. If you are member of LinkedIn, please use your contacts to bring awareness for our cause by sending this thread info and TOI article to your LinkedIn contacts. If you are member of such similar networks please use them.
2. I am wondering if Consulate Generaql of India can help us in any way to help achieve our goal. Afterall the Indian ambassador is posted here to help the citizens of India. If they can't help us than what's the point of having an Indian Consulate in America. Silmilarly there is a Ministry of Immigrant Indian, how can we take their help to achieve our goal. Only if consulate general and the ministry can approach the congressmen and senators, that may help us.

malaGCPahije, you wanted out-of-the-box ideas, so here is one:
Auction some of the annual quote of visa numbers to the highest bidders among those in the I485 stage. USCIS gets more money and everyone gets a choice of an expedited GC. The exact fraction of numbers available for auction can be tweaked to achieve the politically correct balance between fairness (no numbers available for auction) and maximizing revenue (all numbers auctioned).

:cool:The idea that comes to my mind all the time is if Congress wants to keep the per country limit for GC ( even in EB categories) then they should understand that India China are almost third of entire humanity. So for GC purpose they should split India and China into states of birth as well . Just look at it Uttar Pradesh with a population of 16 crores can become 6th largest country in world on basis of population. Then we have AP, Maharashtra, Gujarat etc. That will automatically increase numbers for all of us and still keep the country limits. Plus it will in true sense bring diversity from these two countries which are right now dominated by few states both in FB and Eb categories. Please dont get angry if you dont like it. Just a wild idea which will perhaps never be implemented but food for thought
That is thinking out of the box. I like it. :)

Guys here is what I found on page 5 of the 12 page AC21 document
--------------------------------------
Should service centers or district offices request proof of “ability to pay” from successor employers in I-140 portability cases, in other words, from the new company/employer to which someone has ported?
Answer: No. The relevant inquiry is whether the new position is in the same or similar occupational classification as the alien’s I-140 employment. It may be appropriate to confirm the legitimacy of a new employer and the job offer through an RFE to the adjustment applicant for relevant information about these issues. In an adjustment setting, public charge is also a relevant inquiry.
--------------------------------------------------
Here is another important thing for people wanting to use AC-21
Question 11. When is an I-140 no longer valid for porting purposes?
Answer: An I-140 is no longer valid for porting purposes when:
Memorandum for Service Center Directors, et al.
Subject: Interim Guidance for Processing Form I-140 Employment-Based Immigrant Petitions and Form I-
485 and H-1B Petitions Affected by the American Competitiveness in the
Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (AC21) (Public Law 106-313) Page 7
A. an I-140 is withdrawn before the alien’s I-485 has been pending 180 days, or
B. an I-140 is denied or revoked at any time except when it is revoked based on a withdrawal that was submitted after an I-485 has been pending for 180 days.

BTW, the CIR would be taken in HOUSE and not in Senate as it has already passed it version.
House has to agree and pass for final passage. The House sessions can be seen live in C-Span. C-Span2 is for Senate. C-Span is for the HOUSE.
Those, who are hopeful about CIR should read last weeks Business Week and there is interview of Chalie Cook. According to Cook, CIR is not on Dems priority list. It is such a difficult issue that no one want to take it up. Rep fought with each other like bull dogs and Dems would like to avoid it. Dems also will not like to give this credit to Bush.
Our best hope is get some relief amendment included in one of the spending bill otherwise we will waiting for GC for long long time

We are in touch with a local TV station in Indiana via a client of my husband's. We are hoping to have then run a short story in the very near future.
We are also personal friends with a state senator who we are hoping will point us in the right direction to get this message out.
On both fronts I will update as soon as I have any news.
It is wonderful to hear about your initiatives. Please also involve as many others who are experiencing the same / similar situation (for eg:- I_aged_out, Rego and others), while putting the story on the news and also while contacting the senator.
Or I would suggest I_aged_out, Rego and others contact their respective senators (only if you / IV suggests that they would be friendly and receptive to this argument). If not I would suggest contact nearby senators who would be helpful.
But when Indianabacklog contacts media/senator, if few others were also involved atleast on paper (Personal experiences with signatures) that might be helpful too. (just a suggestion).

If you have an account (NRO/ordinary) in India / other source of income for which you are already paying income tax/submitting tax statements to the Indian Govt, I dont think you should be too much worried. On the other hand if you have an NRE account and get a lot of interest income, which is not taxable in India, then you might be better off reporting that here. Anyway thats my 2 cents.
Maybe you missed the point....
Regardless of your interest income, if your total amount in foreign accounts (ordinary or anything), is greater than $10K, you need to report to IRS.
Reporting foreign Interest income is another thing...

U.S. Senator: Infosys is a ‘Chop Shop’ - India Real Time - WSJ (http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2010/08/06/us-senator-infosys-is-a-chop-shop/)
While discussing an immigration bill on the U.S. Senate floor Thursday, New York Democrat Charles Schumer likened Indian tech giant Infosys Technologies to a �chop shop.�
We�re pretty sure that was a slip. After all, the term �chop shop� refers to shady places of business where people dismantle stolen cars and sell off their parts. Surely he isn�t comparing the legal outsourcing of America�s jobs to the illegal selling of America�s brake pads and V-8 engines?
It is likely the senator was going for �body shop,� also a derogatory term, but one that describes firms who shuffle low-cost tech engineers around the globe.......

Wrong. Because USCIS didn't work fast enough to process the # of applications annually to consume all visas available. Quite a difference.
I am saying "unutilized" which is the end result and you are saying "USCIS didn't work fast " which is the reason. Basically we are saying the same thing here. Let us focus on the issue here - namely the fact that Section 5 stike off is detrimental.

Hi,
I know lots of cases who have completed the same degree and they all got Green cards, In fact mine is also the same but a 4 year part time degree ( officially ) and my company has filed I-140.
thanks
sivaji
Hi Sivaji: I assume your friends are also Diploma+3 years full time Engineering. Do you know if your friends got their approvals via EB2 category? I don't think you will have any problems. IMO, Diploma+4 years part time engineering degree goes better with these INS officers compared to Diploma + 3 years full time engineering.
The main problem is whenever they see 3 years transcripts instead of 4 years transcripts they immediately raise a red flag due to this whole confusion with all other 3 year Degree folks.

Good to know that.
Maybe we were unlucky, the SSN letter didn't help us some 5-6 years back. DMV gave us a hard time instead.
That why, one need to go from one desk to other desk, one office to other office. Some of the staffs are not qualified. It is just like we have been coming across even Lawyers not having enough information.
I have 4-5 such instances, few to list:
#1. Related to DL itself
#2. Resident fee for H4
#3. Extent H4 is valid with Univ./Lawyer
etc.

spicy guy, which service center did you apply? if its texas, you are cool, u should get ur AP within 15-30 days max. I have travel in the third week of november and I applied for renewal in Nebraska and my RD for this is August 6th. I am not very optimistic. Cos, per the website, its taking anywhere between 95-150 days these days for AP renewal in NE.
Not sure if it goes to NE or TX. But I posted my documents to Phoenix Lock box. Where does it go?

Please send flowers to DOS and USCIS first. If this fails than we may send them to white house. Can someone please draft a nice letter that memebrs can use when sending flowers. July 10th seems to be a reasonable date, but we should make it known to as many people as possible.

So long as you are not a permanent resident (GC holder) or citizen it is understood that you are a temporary worker or a poor student or a a poor researcher who probably owns a small tea shop in his/her country. If this nation comes after the small income that you generate from your tea shop then hell that is NASTY!! They have other things to worry about and not only that the indian/other govts wont allow foreign nations to meddle in their internal income tax regulations unless international fraud is suspected. So all poor IV members be at rest dont worry about your acounts in India/china but be careful if you have something up there where chese/chocklate/rolex is made best.
I think we should worry about how to obtain SS benefits if ever some of us had to leave the US. Let us be informed about the requirements to claim SS benefits not about what more you have to give out of the petty sums you have struggled to save.

Yesterday, Senator from NJ was talking about legal immigrant (EB) applied after May 17, 2005?
Am I missing something?
This means applied for LC or 485 ????
Could someone please help to understand the cut-off dates clearly.
Even though I did not watch the live debate, I would imagine that would be for FB/Z visa applicants and not EB applicants
