We all can certainly do one thing, we can write emails, letters to editors and media talking about our personal situations, highlighting EB visa backlog and how that is hurting legal-tax paying aliens like us. We can raise awareness in the media and we can bring new members.
When something is asked of us, we should do that. Pappu asked everyone to write to the editors thanking them for the story about immigrant entreprenuers. Just yesterday, we had some people come forward and write to all these editors.
Myself and some other members even posted names and emails of all the editors that we should thank in the "news article thread". If all of us can go there and write emails and flood them with thank-you notes, we will get noticed. Remember the print media business is based on how many readers they have, we have to make them feel that this issue is very important and is getting them more readers and membership.

I want to give some fraud and abuse examples. Unfortunately, there are some bad apples in the H-1B visa program.
From The Grassley Visa Tax (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=191337&postcount=1383) The Wall Street Journal Editorial, November 2, 2007
Department of Labor investigations reveal that some 90% of violations are paperwork offenses and good-faith misunderstandings.

Spot on. i think the anti-immigrants grossly magnify the hue and cry over H1-B abuses. Most americans dont know what H1-B is and nor do they care. The only immigrants they have heard about are the illegal kind. Ordinary americans are mostly indifferent to legal immigration. Politicians care first for their votebanks (present and future) and second for their sources of funding aka corporate lobbies. They are the ones who have the ability to make a difference.
I think many a times we over analyze things. It does not matter what the common people think about legal immigrants. Most people do not care. Even if they do, it does not affect us in any way, because rules are made by politicians not by men in the streets. And most polticians do care about immigrants, but only the illegals ones, because it is their future vote bank. For legals the only hope is companies like Microsoft, with a big fat wallet. Just pray that the economy keeps going at the current pace or else there could more trouble for us.

Sometimes I think of going back
Try to gather the courage that I lack
But the world I left is not the same any more.
And the world I am in, has lost its lure.

Thanks
Singhsa, what you said is very true. You have expressed in words and most of us did not.
I wish God would bless all of us and provide a more valuable living (with family) rather than thinking and discussing these immigration laws.
Good luck to all and wish every one is bless with a nice family living.

here are many other reasons why people get mugged..i understand the concern, but agitating against him is not going to produce anything substantial to the IV cause, you will end up providing free publicity to his show. You time will be better spent if you motivate others to join IV and
work with the congressmen and senators.
There is no way that he is going to change his tune. CNN will not drop him because he brings in $$$'s and according to them he is doing nothing wrong, just playing to his crowd.
is he your biggest problem? if he is then yes, please spend your time on trying to bring him down. Will all IV problems be solved if if he aplogizes tomorrow. I understand that we are all passionate about our issues, he about his and you about yours.
Only issue is one of his crowd may mug me in a subway or lonely street, or puncture my tyres, or break my windshield, attack our children... and so on.

I don't know much about buying house/property in India. Maybe you want to have a close family member keep an eye on your property otherwise a land graber/local gunda in the area may take possession of your property while you are here/away.
But I find some of the discussion in this thread extremely intriguing. There were specific conditions in 1930s, 1960s, 1990s that caused recovery in those times. Leadership & American generation were ready to sacrifice and do hard work. Contrary to the hard work done during those times, large percentage of the current population is indifferent and does not care to know about the current crisis, not knowing the gravity of the situation. Majority of the population was, still is, opposed to $700 billion bailout/rescue not knowing what is going on. The ups and downs in the stock market is just the beginning. Coming year is going to be very tough, specially on folks are in the situation that require them to visit this forum every now and then.
Every great and prosperous nation is just one generation away from losing its greatness. History teaches us that Great nations lost their greatness/cease to exist because the larger populations ignored the times of crisis. Most people say that America has always come out of crisis in the past and just like those times, America will again come out of the current crisis. That's what everybody expect and wants to see happen, as if there will be a miracle and everything will get fixed. Everybody including media/leadership are taking things for granted, as if things will turn around by itself just because things have turned around in the past. But this apathy is very dangerous. Here is why - we can say with fair bit of certainty that Romans must have also said during their time of crisis that things will be fine, they have always gotten fine because we are the Romans, the empire of Gods, or whatever. Likewise, this time around, media/leaders are guided by similar rhetoric. I find this behavior very dangerous. In 1930s/60s/90s there was able leadership and American generations during those times were ready to do their share. It doesn't appear such this time, atleast not right now. Maybe we have sometime to come out of the crisis and things will change in the near future. But without change in the direction, things don't look very good right now.
Rome was not built in one day and it did not perish in one day. If leadership and population continue to ignore the gravity of the crisis, there is only one possible outcome.
The positive aspect this time around is, due to globalization, other nations have stake in American economy and are willing to come to the rescue. Even nations like China and Russia are willing to step-up. This would have been unthinkable in an un-globalized world. But other nations can only do so much. Ultimately, the larger population in America will have to step up, and that includes us, there is no other way. Now G-7 is working together to come up with a comprehensive plan. A lot of people beat down on globalization, but till now it is working as was designed, which is good, and other friendlier/unfriendlier nations are willing to step-up.
Another foreseeable opportunity to fight the current situation is, world energy crisis. America can use the world energy crisis to turn things around, not necessarily subscribing to ideas from businessmen like T Bone Pickens/natural gas to promote their business and blah bhah blah, but something else, which makes America - a leader to solve the energy requirements of over 6 billion people, when estimated 20% of the world population consumes 95% of the world energy.
I don't know if you should buy property in India or if you should buy gold. But in the grand scheme of things, if I were you, I would hang on to the "cash" very close to my chest. Things are really bad, a lot more than what meets the eye or what is apparent.

My PERM got approved on 07/23/2007 and my attorney is planning to file I-140 and I-485 concurrently by Aug 15, 2007.
I was offered a wage less than the proffered wage till pay period 07/15/2007 and my employer revised my wage to match the proffered wage from pay period 07/31/2007. Hence I would be able to submit 2 paystubs for payperiods 07/31/2007 and 08/15/2007 with I-140 application, which shows that I am currently getting paid the proffered wage.
Please let me know if these 2 paystubs alone are sufficient to demonstrate ability to pay.
We wouldn't be able to submit the employers Quarterly Wage reports with the revised wage as the current quarter ends only on Sep 07.
I understand that USCIS will issue a direct denial without an RFE if the employer is unable to prove atleast one of the following
(1) Net income - The initial evidence reflects that the petitioner’s net income is equal to or greater than the proffered wage
- (Supporting Evidence : Tax Returns).
(2) Net current assets - The initial evidence reflects that the petitioner’s net current assets are equal to or greater than the proffered wage.
- (Supporting Evidence : Audited Financial statement)
(3) Employment of the beneficiary - The record contains credible verifiable evidence that the petitioner not only is employing the beneficiary but also has paid or currently is paying the proffered wage.
- (Supporting Evidence : Annual/Quarterly Wage reports, paystubs)
Ours is a small company and doesn't have net income or net assets matching the proffered wage.

This data is ambiguous from the USCIS. It very well could represent pending 140 petitions, in which case all the euphoria would turn to shock. We must try to get clarification about this before anything else.
One of the tables there mentions the NIW, that is determined at the 140 level, after that a 485 is a 485 and it goes into the EB2 queue. So when they list that in the breakdown, I suspect if they may be referring to 140s here. Additionally they list either no NIW140 or NIW-based 485s from the NSC. If they are referring to NIW based 485s, this is incorrect, since I am one of those with an approved NIW and pending 485 at the NSC. There are others like me on IV physician forum.
So lets try to get more information about this response. This data does not give the whole story. In a worst case scenario it is indeed pending 140s they have given.

In the EB base, only 1 GC is counted for all family members. How can it count more than one if it is a derivative of an employment visa? It might count against the Family base even though primary applicant is EB-based. Not the other way around.
U r wrong here my friend. In EB, visa number is counted for each dependent.

What is this reverse brain drain ? there is no such thing - folks who are here are going to hang on tooth & nail to stay here come hell or high water - the only ones who are going back are the ones who have no other option.
Or they have way more options than you or me!! Don't envy those guys who move around the world like free birds not thinking twice about leaving the green card process half way, and unlike us they probably will earn more after leaving US. Your post shows lots of frustration..... take it easy man!:D

As you are aware there is alot going on right now. The administration is talking about CIR.
Lots of bills with small provisions get talked up or introduced. In fact that happens every year if you look back. We keep an eye on what's moving and where the effort is needed. We do not want to waste our resources and effort if something may end up simply being a placeholder or a position statement.
In a nutshell, there will be fax campaign when we are advised (by lawmakers, lobbyists and friendly advocacy groups among others) and we determine that it is needed and will be effective.
Thanks for the response Paskal. However I still do not underststand why IV is not encouraging everyone to send faxes and register their support via the AILA site. As I have understood AILA has been a leader in this effort for immigration {see July 2007}. If you are trying to say that the interests of AILA and IV are not exactly the same - that is to be expected - no 2 organizations can ever be the same - BUT - surely we can come together to form and pursue some strategic interests. I see that with regard to these bills IV and AILA interests meet. Further if readers @ IV send messages via AILA Action Alert then IV resources can be saved to follow the path that you have described above.
Finally, the bill may be a placeholder or position statement, but in the end we need to demonstrate the numbers - highlighting this bill may eventually lead to some worthwhile convergence in the CIR - I think no opportunity need be lost in this process and the more we highlight our position and condition the more visibility we get.
Regards!
