rpatel,
I don't think it is about being optmistic or pessimistic. It is about doing best with your life. One can do better than wait for 5 or 10 years on top of what we have already done for the green card in the same position with very little salary raise.
It is not only about salary raise. In 5 or 10 years with the right attitude one could really grow into senior management psotion. Will the green card be worth it after 10 years you are still stuck in same programmer level job doing the same stuff all over again
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

With LC substitution Going away and 45 days between LC and I-140 and people able to apply in July for i-485 , with in next 3 months, INS will have a good knowledge how many are pending and how many years it will take .
Poeple should be able to get EAD and enjoy their time.
More H4's armed with EAD will enter the job market, Guess, more Testers, Java, .net developers driving the billing rates down and too much of unexpected mess
Get ready
People with EAD feel more secure in their jobs. Unlike those on H1 who have to keep their job, people with EADs are free to change their jobs anytime. You know what happens when people are free to change jobs? As soon as they feel they are not getting fair deal, they move to another job, a better paying job. The salaries will actually go up, not down.

In my opinion Let's contribute $100 each pay them and get this information. I'm sure there'll be 50 people who would want this information for $100....Atleast I'm sick of seeing Visa Dates predictions and seeing Visa bulletins itself. Atleast we'll know what we are dealing with.

I think all of us seems to be responding with full force when the core asked to call just one member Rep Lamar Smith..
Earlier when there was a long list of 8 to 10 members, folks takes a time to react and start calling in heavy numbers..
May be in future.. They can just give 2 to 3 reps and focus heavily for 2-3 days and then in second phase , second list targeting 2-3 members more.... and eventually one person gets the task to motivate members on one perticular sets of members and some one else can motivate for anohter list.
..Called Lamar Smith, Republican House Members , Called CHC and Local Representative..
So folks... Why wait when we can swing it and finish it off once for all..
So lets JUST DO IT ( Each and every call will be a steping stone for our future).

13 in the pipeline:
Got another 11 from ex-colleagues at a client location, plus 2 from a friend's friends!
I will confirm my new tally after I get hold of them tomorrow.
Of course, much more work needs to be done here... hope folks in NORCAL are listening!
At my workplace, about 50% of them have have signed this letter now! This is including but not limited to employees with an immigrant background ( including but not limied to the Indians and the Chinese!)
My tally is now up to 253. Expecting another 2 this evening from a friend who got it from 2 of his own friends.
Recruit friends & strangers to help you, then follow up a little bit, it helps!

probably the best post i've seen on this board. good points....I did sometime back.
Given thanksgiving is barely a week away, we can be certain of the usual platitudes directed at immigrants - this is a good time to remind the average American how far they have strayed from their roots and forgotten the true sentiment behind the tradition. Immigrants have always been hated and reviled by those that got here earlier - but the current anti-immigrant sentiment is vastly different in scale and sophistry due to the times we live in. If every IV member signs up 10 citizens to the immigrant cause, we should easily be 100,000 strong in a couple of weeks. It could be anyone from your advisor at school who mentored you to your buddies at work - even the stinkin relatives should be harassed. Though CIS and Numbersusa pretend that they are a product of the current anti-illegal sentiment, they started out much before the so-called 'wave' started. And they have adapted and honed their strategies very well to crush whatever relief Congress contemplates/passes. Consider the way CIS was initially dedicated to 'researching' immigrant issues that they would complain about the media's positive stories about immigrant contributions as merely anecdotal evidence not worthy of rebuttal. Now they are suddenly fond of anecdotal evidence themselves since experts began demolishing their claims of job-stealing and other baseless charges convincingly(esp CFR's Sebastian Mallaby) using empirical evidence-they shamelessly stoop to use someone's sob story to make their case. So, as repugnant as their motives are, they are too transparent for their own good- and they can't cover their tracks -which is good for us since we are appealing to the fair minded. Remember - every one in the US is an immigrant or an offspring of one. They have always been hated and reviled -so if someone who benefited from the immigrant tradition of this nation wants to turn around and deny it to those following him/her even though their ancestors did the same thing at a great emotional/economic cost to the then existing natives- they have a higher bar in explaining why the current bunch shouldn't continue to benefit from the great tradition-merely being bigoted but sophisticated enough to hide it isn't enough. so don't lose heart but dont sit on your ass either.

July 2010: are these clause new this time?
#1 :
" Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. "
that means per year max of 25620 people per country can get GC ?
#2 :
*NOTE: For July, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01JUN07. 2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01JUN07 and earlier than 01JUL08. (All 2A numbers provided for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)
--- #1 and #2 sounds opposit. am i understanding it right?

Accountability. Ok great, accountability is a pretty good concept. However I think the OP is targeting the wrong people here.
Do we even dare to hold the CIS/DOS accountable for their wishful manipulation of PDs? These guys can't even give us information that's there in their own systems.
Did we raise our voice when H1Bs (an arch which all of us have passed through) were being demonized by the media and politicians?
So we are not holding the people who have been the biggest beneficiaries of our money accountable, why hold a volunteer group, who are nothing more than regular people like us with families and personal issues accountable for trying to fix something that's broken.
Shoot in the city I live in, it's like the Richard Pryor paraphrase "I see brown people"
Yet when we want to discuss agenda and action items, how many show up: 6, yes, 6.
Maybe next time we'll put up a board for free pizza and beer.
And here you are giving IV lunch money and asking for bill passage. :rolleyes:

and other IL immigration related events, people from the chapter say that they will show up. But they will not. They do not even have the courtesy later to tell that they had something important to justify their absence. This is what ticks off leaders who are working hard.
If you say you are coming to an event and are unable to do so, either inform asap or after the event, have courtesy to send an email explaining why.
Being active in IV is an indication of your character. If you are timid and scared, you will continue to be SCARED for the rest of your life (no matter the country you reside in). :)
