Disagree I got layed off in my 6th year and moved to consulting company and went the PERM way. I did not chase L/C substitution. Reason - I was not comfortable with that concept. I was/is and will always have faith in fair practices. I was offered L/C substitution, people like me are attracted...

People move jobs for different reasons. Yes, every immigrant who comes here, does not want to go back. It is just not H1b -> Green Card, but any immigrant, be it a student or a worker. The reason is simple. There is no need to. Someone who comes as a visitor will never want to settle unless he...

I don't think he is a psychopath. Psychos don't do mass killings. He definitely had an agenda and he planned. From his perspective, he had a reason, but doing mass murder is never justifyable. The only thing that worries is how media can contribute to stereotyping. The emphasis media puts on...

Thanks for all the insight. I think you can never forget me for calling you a "Big daddy". Congrats on your Green Card. I think you must seriously consider a position on K Street as a "Immigration Lobbyist".

UN, I switched to consulting after a layoff and have been always sticking to the consulting company though I do get some healthy job offers to join FT jobs (including my current client). My reason for moving to consulting was simple, no hasstles about layoffs and look for a high paying...

The PD is supposedly transferable unless the petition has been rejected or withdrawn if found to be wrong or defective. Keep copies of ur petition. They must suffice.

Back to core discussion While we talk about negatives of immiogrants, I would like to shift further from our conversation and ask folks here, if many feel that the current politicians have not given enough focus on immigration, like techy's first post says. Personally I feel, that the...

Its the same me :D :D While, I agree with u on these views, not everyone belong to those categories.

well before the issue of immigration came to limelight, these things were prevailing, for those who know how to get here, used to get here in one of the above ways. Thats how every visa kind has been utilized in the past. There was no concept of visa depletion or not much competition or job...

From an employer's perspective, when he cannot fill his position with a deserving candidate because the candidate is subject to cap, the employer is going to lobby for increase in quota. While employers do not understand that caps numbers get depleted because of customized h1b filings by...

UN - This is one of your sentence Actually - the opposite of what you quote is more prevailant. A doctor who wants to get into the US, marries a US citizen so that he can enter US and continue his/her residency. For a lot of foreign doctors, residency seems to be dream of their life. If you...

In addition, decoupling of H1 + H4 time, and giving eligibility for h1bs who have not utilised their 6 year limit and have maintained proper statuses, shows positive approach. This encourages spouses to get into professional jobs that are competitive and go through the h1b process rather than...

What u say is totally accepted and true. In fact, when I was talking to my parents in India, recently, my dad was a green card holder in the 70s, in those days, EB3 green card was given at the port of entry, my dad was in US in early 70s, he is a Charterd Accountant (Just like u CPA), and has...

So, in general, u seem to have formed ur "personal opinion" about someone like me, u have never seen me or worked with me or don't know me. U seem to be under the impression, that I am here along with a lot of people wrongfully. I guess, you are gifted with everything in life, knowledge, power...

So u pointing at me now. BTW, the best of the best get layed off or fired at some stage in their lives. Though I don't say I am the best or the brightest, let me tell u, if I was layed off because I was inefficient, and if thats happening to me always and if I am not earning good name or...

This thread is about IV getting desperate I am a IV member, though not core, but I follow them very closely and do all I can with financial help, webfaxes, raising awareness etc.... I am not sure, if you all know, that IV is formed by a group of people who used to visit immigration portals...

techy - not to point at you or anyone - this forum has become a mere discussion forum. Some have the nack of exploiting it, a lot of people argue endlessesly, there is no positive outlook, a lot of people either kill time and have fun. When someone disgarees with someone views, they attack them...

I do not disagree on his skills or his advices, as everyone knows, he has helped a lot of people. I used to frequent this forum in the past, sometime back, I had exchange of messages with UN with the same issue, he was constantly rubbing his views about bad practices by Indian companies etc...

I used to work fulltime for a company an got layed off in my 6th year H1b. I immediately found a contract project in 2 weeks of layoff and looked for a good company who can sponser my h1b, found one, and figured out they have a clean chit, WRT GC and H1b and do not abuse laws. So I transferred...
