    Does someone have the (official) link to this news that DOL has submitted this rule to OMB. I edited my previous posting, there is a link to proposed rule.

    You guys are not getting it. No (in like None, Nada, zilch etc.) insurance covers pre-existing condition for visitors. If a complication arises, and you had to use the insurance, the question will be if it is a pre-existing condition or something that came up after coming here. Even if the condition comes up where an incident is not related to pre-existing condition but aggravated due to pre-existing condition, insurance will cover minimal claim amount. The odds are rigged up against you no matter what. Put yourself in the insurance companies shoes. The less you pay the more you make so you always try to deny the claim.

    Saying this, you are betteroff buying a American Insurance as hospitals over here see it as something they can count on for being paid back (though law says they have to give the topmost care irrespective of the patients ability to repay). Indian insurance is useless and will be looked down by medical personnel (some of the private pracitioners won't even accept it). Just buy some American Insurance and pray you don't have to use it.

    I was checking the c-span.org and couldn't find this.

    They are discussing other things on c-span.org live.

    I looked at the pdf briefly but did not completely understand what changes are proposed for H1b in the bill.

    Below are some per my understanding. And also below are questions.

    1) Now it looks like H1b requires PERM type recruitment. Is it only for new H1bs or also for extensions & Transfers?? Most of us are already in our 7th/8th year extensions and some others are in 9th & 10th years. It will impact further extensions or transfers and will jeopardize our GC process.

    2) These changes would unnecessarily scare away genuine employers as it is like a mini- GC perm process. They may settle for an unqualified or less qualified citizen instead of hiring a highly qualified H1b suitable for the job.

    Let us try to keep the question atleast in the top10 until the poll closes. This is a very good chance to bring our issue to a wide audience.

    As I thought about this further, I figured out the data is even worse than I thought earlier, as this may not have any 2007 numbers. People who filed their labors in 2007 were still waiting in july of 2007. So this data is only upto late 2006. Now the figures could be

    EB-3
    5000 2001
    20000 2002
    20000 2003
    20000 2004
    5000 2005
    5000 2006

    EB-2
    10000 2004
    20000 2005
    20000 2006
    This is my guess, This is how it could be distributed(I know it is a very vague guess)...
    EB-3
    10000 2001
    15000 2002
    15000 2003
    15000 2004
    10000 2005
    5000 2006
    5000 2007
    5000 2008

    EB-2
    5000 2004
    10000 2005
    15000 2006
    20000 2007
    20000 2008

    ... and made my $100 contribution. My wife is very skeptical, but I am sure that if we don't do anything our chances to get the situation resolved are even smaller.

    Do you think it might be a good idea to ask people to pledge amount that they don't know how much is going to be ?


    I think instead we need to do the following.

    1. Clearly state in the very first message the need for creating this thread (pls include the business week article, Pappu's comments, comment from Aman's co worker - If you need help finding it, i can do it for you).

    2. Also add to it that this is for the reimbursement of the expenses of the past. We don't really want to concentrate on how this is going to be handled in the future , may be someone can come up with suggestions on what should be set aside as administrative funds and things related to that. This is only for settling the amount already spent.

    3. Only pledge is required stating the amount clearly and no funding is required at this time. We will instruct all the members who pledged once we get an expert advice on how to channel these funds.


    If you can make these corrections it will be great.
    Will do

    No offense to the OP and Thanks for posting this, but this thread is kind of diverting us from some of the efforts currently in progress, we are again playing the prediction game.
    Lets contribute to the FOIA funding drive and get the right information.

    thanks,

    If you have health insurance (which I doubt) go to some doc. and get some life injected. That will certainly help you in your current situation and you may be able to jump to EB1.:D

    May God Bless You.

    (translation: sit there like a paraplegic in the line and do nothing ... while a massive line jumping is in process... you will keep seeing while all these EB3 "bodyshopped consultants" will continue to slowly port their PDs and get approved ahead of you.. EB2 I/C is in for a really really long wait.
    Honestly, these consultants don't even have an H1B worthy job: its not a permanent job offer. They don't get paid fulltime. Let alone their eligibility for a GC ....what a scam!

    We need to let uscis know and audit all current and past approved cases from these consultants)

    FYI ...With support from a few people .. we are in the process of filing a Direct injunction for stoppage and immediate audit of interfiled/approved cases. But more support would be appreciated.

    Hi Folks,

    I know that with a deluge of applications, the question I am asking might not be relevent in the current scenario (July filers), but what is the historical EAD processing time? I know they say that USCIS will issue one within 90 days, but does it always take 90 days or is lot lesser?

    I remember when I got EAD during OPT, it took like 30-40 days on average. Does the same hold for the EAD for EB too?

    Appreciate your response. thanks!

    That is right. There are people knowingly get into dirty deals with employers like
    (1) Faking experience
    (2) Working out per diems in percentages
    (3) Changing job titles to suit their needs
    (4) Most important - employee tries to do what he/she can to keep employer happy as the green card petition is filed - I have seen this - people I know do this - they lick the boots of their employer - get coworkers fired so that their jobs are secure - get personal in alomost everything with employer so that they feel secure and job satisfied - These are the people who come out anonymously and talk bad bad things about their employer because they know they are into a screwed up relationship - no pay hikes, employer cheating on perdiems - employer knows employee is ass kissing and talks sweet but exploits - employee knows that things are not going to be the same for a prollonged period - puts a false mask and blames organizations like IV for not doing anything - these are the folks who encourage employers to do what they want to do.

    And the day these employees get their green cards, they will open they companies and will do the same thing to the new immigrants; and the circus will go on.

    What IV has done is commendable and unprecedented. I also think that most of us here do not know anything about the expenses incurred by IV team or money collected by IV team. It would be a good idea to be transparent in that aspect so that members can have a better understanding of the functioning of the organization and contribute appropriately. Just a suggestion; what do you guys think?
