    greyhair - that was something i tried on my own and i have never represented IV.

    you are right we may sue congress but to win that is much much tough as even the judge is been appointed by the president which i guess is a member of congress :) but one can certainly try.

    this requires a big movement for which IV is a very nice platform. that is the reason i keep shouting on this forum that nothing will happen untill you somehow make uscis held accountable or in this case even congress accountable.

    Filing a Lawsuit against USCIS and CONGRESS together may lead us somewhere.

    Freakin_GC,

    I am in the same boat as you. My wife was born in another country besides India, hence the Cross Chargeability. However our (Wife and my) 485s have been filed already. I am not sure how to get into the ROW boat.

    All I can offer now is that I'll post whatever I hear from my lawyer. Let me know what you can find from your end.

    Regards,
    Anurag

    In my particular case, when i signed the contract, the employer agreed to pay for my GC process. But as usual, My employer also did not follow the contract and when my labor was approved, he asked me to pay for the Labor and take care of GC application fees hence forth. I was kind of surprised and did argue with my employer. But Employer gave me an option to leave his company and move to a diff company if needed. But since the labor was approved and the current project was going fine, i thought of sticking with the company and agreed on paying the GC fees.

    I dont know if we can really go and harass our employer to re-imburse the GC expenses as they know what they are doing and what are the consequences if they go back on their words..I think they know pretty well about all the loopholes in this immigration process.

    We (3 of us from the PA state chapter) had a meeting with Congressman Joe Sastak's office staff in Media, PA.

    The staff member was completely unaware of our issues (other than, FBI name check takes long time and USCIS processing is slow). However, she was eager to understand our problems.

    She recommended that we should meet the office staff in DC since they handle issues related to legislations.

    Thats great u met the congressman, I am telling you, politicians are not aware of our problems. For them legal immigration is working great and it does not needs to be bothered.

    We need to keep on meeting the politicians and highlighting our problems over and over again.

    Meetign them once is not a solution, we need to keep on following with them. This issue has to be highlighted again and again.

    Lets get together and try to highlight or issues and hardships being faced by us.

    GO IV GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

    NCR Region

    Sr Developer / Lead Developer (7-15yrs exp) - 8 - 15 lakhs
    Project Manager (10-15yrs exp) - 10-20 lakhs

    Above this level, the jobs are far and few, but some are
    Principal Consultant / Program Manager (in cos like Wipro, Infy, HP) (12- 18 yrs exp) - 18-28 lakhs

    Also note, just because someone has worked in US for a few years does not get any advantage above Project Manager level.


    Information based on many well placed contacts at these levels.
    This is absolutely correct. I also was told the same from a few of my friends who are working in NCR.

    Why would you need an EVL from your new employer or inform the USCIS of your job change, in this case? AC21 does not require you to "file AC21" (whatever that means), contrary to what has been advised in this forum many times. Please Google "Yates memo;" see, e.g., http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/ac21-51205.pdf. Here are my attorney's comments in this regard:

    "AC21 is the name of the immigration act that allowed portability for those who have an approved I-140 and I-485 pending over 180 days. There are no regulations for this provision therefore no instructions regarding notification so there is no actual action to "invoke AC21". The Service will sometimes send out an RFE just prior to approving an I-485 to request confirmation that the individual is either still employed by the sponsoring employer or if not, that he/she was portable when changing positions which is evidenced by a letter from the new employer."

    I don't think you should request any thing from your new employer other than a job offer. You need an EVL *only* in case of an RFE. And no need to "file AC21!"

    I agree that 1/2 million people can't impact housing market significantly.
    but look at the numbers, 1/2 million people means $100 billion untapped
    market. Personaly I can't imagine any business community who wouldn't consider
    this huge potential market seriously.(We are not poor
    immigrants that they can ignore, we are professinals with good credit)

    Who knows they might help a little to push our issues in DC or reach our goal of
    raising 60K !

    All IV has to do is send a simple letter to them. Whats harm in doing that !!!

    Cool..Thanks for all the responses.

    I was just preparing for the wrost case scenario. So thought to get the experience letter of my prior H1B. But right now, I am unable to get hold of any superivisor or co-worker. So is there any other option to get the experience letter.

    Thanks,

    All these articles say we are hoping to get citizenship. I think this word raises more shackeles than saying getting green card. Cmon, we are only thinking GC now. Ctizinship after 5 years is somewhat of a time bound process. Why don these articles say we are waiting for GC. This atleast will be more palatable to the anti leagl immigration forces.More importanatly it refelects our true problem as of now.

    Thats what annoys me... that they say we are trying to get citizenship. We just want to be free. If GC would give us that then we are fine. They can give us GC and say 10 years before we can apply for citizenship as long as we are free. Right now I feel like I am chained down. I can not plan I can not move forward... living a stagnant live.

    The problem though is that there is no line to get into. Employers are not even willing to sponsor GC anymore. There is the need to be able to self petition.

    Most people writing all these articles dont even know what is going on. They need to experience the immigration system for them to know. A lot of the facts they present are wrong. They say there is a legal way of getting GC. There is no defined legal way. It is dependent on employers wi
