I wonder in what form they are contributing to this whole thing other thn writing over and over again "We sympathise with you ...blahs blahss..." - why won't they publish posts or anything related to their efforts or questions (we have been trying to ask thru them) on retrogression or PBEC inefficient and slow processing as compared to Dallas.

Ok they are not a focus group!! BUT they do represent themselves as some kinda leader in this whole DOL Meetings/Representation/USCIS/Immigration/talks and what not.

Please enlighten me...Gurus! :rolleyes:
 
I agree!!

I think i agree on the whole Murthy.com thing. A while ago a read one of the most RIDICULOUS articles related to "Hidden Benefits of Retregression"!!

The ONLY benefit was, "If ur not married u have more time to look for a spouse". Other than that they had mentioned some nonsensical "benefits" for those ppl who have applied the I-485 and are unable to get a visa number. A simple question for the gurus. "What abt us poor souls who cant even APPLY?". I was appaled to read that article.

If indeed they claim to be "leaders" in the whole Green card thing and have so called "contacts", why dont they use them to try and help us FIX this problem? If indeed immigration lawyers want to "help" us, cant they ask the DOL/UCSIS for more transperancy in this retrogression issue??
 
As far as I can tell, they are an Immigration attorney group. No more No less. There ain't no charity here. Atleast they give access to some info and forums.
:)
 
I agree with sunjoshi

Check out their weekily chats. You can ask them questions for free. I believe they are doing a lot more than other law firms. I get more information from Murthy and immigration.com than my companies stupid big shot law firm.
 
Immigration attorneys in general

Is it just me, or does just abt everyone get the feeling that most of these "immigration attorneys" are not as competent as they shud be. I have heard of MANY of my close friends (including myself) who had to bear the brunt of the incompetence of these immigration lawyers. I am not singling out any one such group, but saying in general. I can give u such a horror story abt a friend that will make u laugh and cry at the same time.

You know, u hear abt all the high class service (and the competence that comes with it) that u get in the US and it's not like we dont pay the immigration lawyers enough or anything. Just makes me wonder, that if the same thing wud have happened in India (incompetent lawyers), we wud have said, "It happens only in India", but apparently the grass aint much greener here, just a whole lot more expensive ;-)

Any thoughts anyone?

You are right. I have been noticing that too. There is a difference in the way we percieve things than them. We are most focussed on retrogression and trying to get a resolution, whereas they are legal people, they will not post or write anything that displeases the lords. Thats why they sympathise with us. They understand our situation. They cannot do anything. But when they find a issue that they can tackle, they do that. I have seen most of these immigration lawyers doing it. Other than that, they prefer to post what comes out of their mind rather than what comes out of their heart. They are immigration lawyers and will do everything from within the system. They know the law and loopholes.
If we want to fight the system then we go to a civil lawyer. Immigration lawyers will only help in doing paperwork and not help fight cases

Immigration attorney..agreed! But not like my attorney or several others.

They do portray themselves as representatives of this whole immigration thing. Pls. read their posts about how they asked qs and DOL clarified. - "We asked and then DOL clarified on this etc"....Or in the meeting "murthy group was present along with DOL officials, AILA etc".

Now I wonder, why dont' they raise valid qs about WHY the HELL PBEC is crawling in 2001 whreas DALLAS is already hopping 2003? or about retrogression and new rules and DOL views.

C'mon theres plenty more to talk about than publishing PERM approval gets a new loook !! who cares about color!
 
lets face it

Guys lets face it,

No point slamming these immigration attorneys. From all that i have heard they are ALL the same. One will take 7 days to get back to u, while another will take a week. Some are marginally better than others. I think right now we are all so frustrated with the broken immigration system that we will blame and curse just abt anyone in sight ;-)
 
Dehai Tao

Did anybody hear about Dehai Tao from Detroit? How good is he?

I have talked to him. Someone rec'd him to my company but it seems my company had conflict of interest.

He seems to be good but he does give some oblique remarks here and there. Seemd to me - he wants you to get onboard with him and then trust him after that
 
Dehai Tao is cool ........

He is my attorney, never gives false assurance, does the work with best approach.

He is experience lawyer of UM, dehaitao.com

I think Murthy is genuine when she "sympathizes" or tries to explain the benefits of retrogression. It is like a clown trying to make a crying child laugh. But we being professionals feel that is a mockery. Remember Murthy is just an immigration lawyer and thats it.

It is a "fact of life" that we are soft targets and at recieving end. Thats why Murthy sympathesize with us. No one stops us from getting a green card by investing money in a business or other options.
 
Completely agree with you

Yes he is my attorney too ... replies email promptly ... once I needed some advice and he was busy... he said give me a time slot on sunday .. and he called and adviced.

Has good immigration knowledge and he handled one guys ability to pay issue well.

Good guy and good staff .. front desk girl gives no smile... ):
 
At best these attorneys are just paper pushers. Some experienced attorneys can and may have developed some personal contacts in DOL who they can contact for a status check on LC etc.

I sense some unrest among some immigration attorneys though. They dont seem to be as excited as us about possible devts with the budget bill. I think if the scene remains uncertain with deep retrogression, the better it is for them. They can prey on our fears. Maybe, I am being too harsh on them...
 
The problem with the immigration attoerney's we see, is really due to the convoluted immigration process itself; Eevrything isn't black and white and there are several grey areas. Also there are so many legislations and laws being changed on immigration, it is hard to get one consistent opinion from different imm. attorneys.

All in all, I must say they do a fair job given the circumstances. Murthy shouldn't be singled out for any harsh treatment since she ain't no law maker. Its hard to please everyone, but we must cut them some slack here
 
I stopped even visitng murthy.com.I don't get any information other than thier "sympathy"

It looks so outdated to me. In the "News Brief" you see all old stories.

We cannot post any other website or link.

Everything gets sensored .

And you get an answer in "Greek / Latin" language from Attorney_NO. english please..........
 
After her absolutely INANE and insensitive newsletter about the "benefits" of retrogression, I have not visited her site. All you see see in each of her updates are how murthydotcom is great and how murthys office has done this or that. She is not doing anything for removing retrogression. She is jsut sayign that she will help people apply for the required repeated renewals of EADs and APs (and make tons of money). She is a fake.

I have high hopes that Rajiv will do something for us. But where is he? He hasnt posted anyhting about retrogression since 21st September!! If he does not help us, I dont know who we can look to? He hasnt responded to our efforts for collecting money for a newspaper ad.

Immigration attorney's languages have always been greek and latin. They always 'form their sentences well'. Retrogrression is affecting our lives and they understand us well but thats how they are.
It is simple basic human nature. Everyone wants to protect and keep their house clean and neat and not get into mess.
We are considered mess here because americans feel we are taking away their jobs. It is a sensitive issue. Remember, there is not protection for immigrants from anyone including attorneys or businesses, it is only the skill that will protect us.
It is a fact that the country benefits by immigration, timely pocessing of green cards is most productive because most of immigrants are highly skilled people and contribute a lot to the economic growth and create more jobs.
But for some reason decision makers are sensitive on this.
We must keep our efforts up and keep trying to push bills and keep trying always. If attorneys are not providing a platform, then we are on our own. If things dont work out, we have nothing to lose, we always have our skills.
