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.

It would be naive and untenable for us to openly ask the lawmakers to limit H1-Bs even while we ourselves on the same visa (and will be for the near future) - it amounts to tacitly acknowledging that H1-Bs are somehow harmful to this country. It wouldn't be any better than numbersUSA saying out with the immigrants even as they themselves are descendants of immigrants.
Our "friends" would love a deal like that .. first use all legal immigrants to oppose the 12 million illegals, then use us to get rid of H1-B, next use us against FB applicants and finally when EBs are too small a group to stand up for themselves, crush them with a sledgehammer !! Cant think of a more elegant application of divide and conquer. So, sorry we are not going to strike any sort of a "deal" with the other side - because the only deal that works for them is out with ALL immigrants. H1-B or GC, legal or illegal are nuances that simply dont exist for them.

Let's make sure that this thread or http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21340 remains at the top "Recent forum posts" on IV homepage, so that more and more people can notice it and we can take a timely action. We might need some help from admin. to get this done. I see that "IV Forum login problems" thread is hardwired to remain at the top. We can do something similar for our thread.

I love my country and want to go back, but it is in the hands of rapists and looters and I suspect it will remain that way...either I become a Gandhi and spend my life liberating it, or live year with my eyes & ears closed...
It is actually funny to watch you guys fight over the US vs India.
Let me ask you this:
-If you didn't choose to study medical or IT and never came to US, would you be thinking the same (problems in India and reasons not to settle in India etc) as you are thinking today?
-If US government didn't have the provision of employment based GC, would you be thinking the same as you are thinking today(problems in India and reasons not to settle in India etc) ?
The answer of the questions above is either YES or NO. I'm sure that many of us will answer these questions as NO.
And if the answer is NO and and you are still counting problems in India and trying to justify your stay in US, then I'm afraid my friends you guys are being opportunistic.
No matter how bad it is, that country made you capable of using this forum. You shouldn't backbite and find problems and issues in that country. You should rather use your energy in solving problems in India. Don't say it is not possible. Nothing is impossible.
You can send emails/letters/flowers to senators and officials here for GC, but I'm sure that there will only be handful of you; who actually tried to send their feedback complaints to Indian government and its officials.
I can go on and on, but I leave this thought with you guys and end my post here, as I know that you got the point.

The primary reason for the slow movement is due to the following reasons
a) change in the namecheck policy. Sometime during early 2008 USCIS changed the rule for all cases stuck in namecheck for more than 90 days. Around 215k cases (family + EB) were stuck in namecheck this caused a flood of eligible cases. (i was stuck in namecheck for almost 3 years, i know what i am talking about)
b) USCIS changed the overflow rule. earlier EB3 would get more of the unused visas, now most are consumed by EB2 I &C. since there are no additional visas available for EB3 (with no chance of getting any till EB2 is cleared) the EB3 queue has very little chance of moving rapidly. Maybe USCIS did this to drive a wedge in the community, whenever we bring this up there is a slew of red and green dots :p
recapture was the best bet for everybody, one time recapture of the 300k odd visas will reduce all wait for all categories....will it happen..probably not.
They recaptured unused Visas once, somewhere in 1997 I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but that took care of the backlog then.
The main thing which we are struggling with are the 200K H1B between 1999 & 2001 and one more reason is 245i cases. In the year 2001 Clinton Administration gave Amnesty to Illegals, they were given opportunity to file their 485s with PD of April'2001...Now this is controversial, as I have even asked few lawyers about which categoy they fell in ? Some says 'EB-3' other says 'Other Workers' Category.
If it is EB-3 you know the answer why the dates haven't passed the big hump of 2001 in last 4 years...

like others mentioned. i was on shocked state for a while. still could not believe. pl find out the other options asap and get into action. GC can come and go. Don not compromise with GC and GC dream etc. Life is the most precious and un comparable one. consult more doctors here as you can or go india and get it consulted. for many this which were diagnosed as complex and un-curable, indian doctors might have easy solution. just go see them you'll be fine. I understand its easy to to suggest but pain to be in that position. On top of all these trust in GOD. We'll will pray for you.
Good luck.

What is the commitment period? I know this is frustrating but deal with that as time passes by, who knows you manager changes by the time you decide to change the job or your client send a request to hire you to your vendor and in general no vendor refuse client request. Once this agreement is in file do you think someone will have time to bring this up and read clause by clause that too when you have left... there can be many reasons to leave and can not be covered under any agreement.
I will not worry about sigining this, this has no value once you get GC or become full time employee,in order to execute this agreement , they have to make sure/prove they have this agreement with each and every employee. Legal terms "EMPLOYMENT IS AT WILL" in order to chase you for 10K they need to spend time & cost both.
Here you go - These are the wordings !
$$$$
1. Employee had agreed to pay $ 10,000 if Employee resigns within first year of receiving the green card (hereinafter �Commitment Period�). After payment of the salary for the working days till the commitment period subject to all applicable payroll taxes and deductions, completes the transaction and Employee agrees that he has no other claims against the company.
$$$$$
Also there are more sensitive clauses like >>>>
8. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A PERMANENT BAR AGAINST THE FILING OF ANY LAWSUIT OR THE ASSERTION OF ANY LEGAL CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST ANY RELEASEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS, OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OR OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE EXECUTION HEREOF, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN BY EMPLOYEE.
BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE STATES THAT HE:
a) HAS READ IT AND HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO CONSIDER ITS TERMS;
b) UNDERSTANDS IT AND KNOWS THAT HE IS GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS;
c) AGREES WITH EVERYTHING IN IT;
d) HAS CONSULTED WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING IT; AND
3
e) HAS SIGNED IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
FOR A PERIOD OF SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE MAY REVOKE THIS AGREEMENT; AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE OR ENFORCEABLE UNTIL THE REVOCATION PERIOD HAS EXPIRED.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed and entered into this Agreement.

I am very new to this forum and have been spending some time here just over the past few weeks. I am trying to learn the ropes of this EB green card system. As someone pointed, I belong to those on the "fence" not knowing what or how to be effective with my time and money in these efforts. I like this thread and I think I want to begin my involvement through this effort.
My opinion is that we don't need a 1000 people to contribute to reach $100000 for the effort. Those who are willing to give $100 would not, I think, hesitate to give another $100 or even more to speed up the process. I for one will contribute $200 and if necessary more for this effort.
Yes, great to see fellow determined souls here so far
Goal is to get atleast 1000 to start with.
First step is to collect details ( Name, E-mail and Ph No# )
Please send them MAN-WOMAN-GC ASAP . He has gracefully offered to maintain a spreadhseet.
Once we reach the number of resources, we will have conference calls, meet in person whoever can, arrange for money, decide on lawyers ( which MadhuVJ has some very good suggestions ) and move on from there
We are doing it brothers and sisters.

Thanks gc28262 for your contributions to this drive. I request others to pitch in as well. We can discuss the nitty-gritties till we bleed. But that won't achieve anything. It will not stop the minformation being spread. We have to collect enough evidence and present it to the media. 4-5 job ads is just the beginning, we need a collection of few hundred to prove this is the prevalent trend.
