Credit cards are issued mostly to GC holders only unless they have a checking account as well with the institution-unless one lies in the application. You are also presuming a 100% credit worthiness and sign up rate - extremely optimistic. This would work when IV is about a million strong and if people like you and me become 'resident' aliens - and dont turn our backs on those behind us.
Many banks in the US will not allow you to add additional accounts like CD account etc ONLINE unless you are a GC holder or a citizen. They ask you to go to a branch to open an account. This is even when YOU are an account holder with the bank for a number of years.
One way of supporting IV and feeling good is to buy some IV merchandise.

refering to raju123's post of the aila document text: aila says that the amendemnt S.AMDT1249 could come to the floor or could be negogiated into the final version of the bill - so there is quite a chance that this amendment could be passed - hopfully w/o any changes.
Also on another note Senator Lieberman wrote a piece in investors.com which is pro-skilled worker and pro-H1B.
http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1502&status=article&id=264986175666607
In it he says "When the Senate resumes debating comprehensive immigration reform this week, I will fight to exempt from the cap foreign nationals holding a U.S. graduate degree in any field; a non-U.S. graduate degree in science, technology, engineering or math; or medical-specialty certification based on U.S. training. Taken together, these reforms would deliver much-needed relief — and vital human capital — to our innovative industries." .
Is the senator trying to come up with another amendment ? any which way lte us hope either 1249 or a possible Lieberman amendment passes.

Sorry eastindia but you are plain wrong. The US is not East India Company.
Here are the facts about the US checks and balances:
1. No single entity - not the President, Senate, House of Representatives, state Governors, nor anyone else - has the power to overturn a US Supreme Court ruling. Supreme Court decisions cannot be nullified by other parts of government.
2. If the Supreme Court strikes down a federal law, Congress can always modify the law until it is such that the Supreme Court does not consider it to violate the U.S. Constitution. Then they would have to vote to pass the new law, and the President would sign it.
3. The Supreme court can overrule its own rulings.
4. Congress can rewrite a law to conform with Constitutional standards.
5. The Constitution can be amended. This would require a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, and ratification by three-quarters of the states (actually, at least 39).
If you think a law is unconstitutional then it can be challenged in the court. For example, there was an article in WSJ about some lawyers planning to challenge the health care bill once it becomes a law. One of the reasons: the health care law would require a person to buy health insurance, which infringes upon constitutionally guaranteed individual right of freedom. Now not to deflect from the topic of this thread, the bottomline is if you think the law is unconstitutional then you can challenge the law in the court.
The Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)")and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
I agree with you.
Country limits is a law. A court has to follow the law. Court does not decide if the law is fair or unfair.
If you want to change the law, go to congress.
BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY TO THROW AWAY TO LAWYERS.
And whats with big lawyer names? Just because a lawyer has a website and writes on a website, does not mean he is a big lawyer. Look beyond the marketing of lawyers and see their skills, track record and genuine concern for your long wait. You are asking the same lawyers to help you whose bread and butter comes because you are applicants in a long line.
Highly educated innocents!

I got to know from my attorney that, USCIS has my I 140 information in their system and they gave him a receipt number. But, the receipt is not generated yet. It may take a week or so to get the receipt. My appl was filed on 12th and it reached NSC on 13th.
I checked the status online with this receipt # and online status shows that they recieved the aplication on 19th and its at Texas center. May be my appl was moved to Texas now.
wat information does the lawyer/employer needs to give to USCIS to get the receipt number ?
Can you put some light on it ...

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.
Apart from the bad language used by some people .... I dont believe that there is any infighting .... disagreements with point of view is not infighting ... It just a primer for the points and discussions that will definitely come up when lawmakers will argue their points of view. And from that perspective it is enriching this portal forum and not denigrating it.
I welcome the discussion.

Are you from different world. Yes it is necessary even to get the H1. Now I understand why the anti-immigrants are targetting us. Do you mean to say the English speaking people diminished this country. Can we replace all these guys with mullas. What are you trying to say..
Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...

Rally agenda - from the start, the D.C rally has not seemed need-based rally. San Jose rally and flower campaign were need-based. They were needed because USCIS ditched all July hopefuls. We were aghast and speech-less. So there was that burning-sensation in our tummies that took us to streets and greet the USCIS chief with bloody flowers!!
i guess you need durbin grassley to return before the "burning feeling" is back. never fear, it's just waiting....btw were you in san jose? when have you been on the streets? who is "us"?
D.C rally has been strategic one. Somewhere in the beginning of the game, we pushed wrong buttons in marketing/selling the strategy or signing up people for the D.C rally. I remember very very few messages on the rally forums and tons and 100s of messages on "July 2" forum.
and whose fault is that? are the core members and other leaders of iv babysitters?
we should now be responsible for spending our remaining life's time explaining why it's important to do something about the mess we are in? oh wait! we did! and copped a ton of abuse for it. go back and look at your posts and everyone else's on the July 2 thread....who has to put the posts on rally threads and not on July 2 threads? who exactly are you blaming here?
and who is "we"? what role have you played?
All senior fellows and the 1000+ members who made it to rally - have you surprised why there is NO 5000 - 10000 attendance.
the registration was actually 2,000. and no we are not surprised. the sheer apathy of those that would benefit from this action and the obsession with receipt notices made it quite clear we were never going too exceed this number. we know that their are many like you here that want us to come to your house with a begging bowl so you can associate handles with real people without lifting a little finger yourself.
thankfully there are 2,000 others that know they are doing this for themselves .
Some more pointers to my thoughts -
> I can't associate all IV handles with real people easily.
and? would you like my ss no? those who came to DC have solved this problem. others solved it long ago by getting involved and taking responsibility and sharing burden. it's yours to deal with now.
> I don't know who is what (like in organizations we have people associated with certain responsibilities).
there is a core team, and there are iv- chapter leaders. join your state chapter if you can drag yourself of the tracking threads and meet the leaders. i got to know real people because i pm'd them then e mailed them and called them, set up a state chapter and met them...
nobody is going to put food in your mouth just because it is open. we are volunteers who give up a lot to keep iv going. we too have commitments at home and work. and they are as important as yours. the only difference is that our sense of self importance is a little less...
> Has anyone ever asked whether we should mention our association with IV in 485 application? And the repercussions?
this is hilarious. aman kapoor the visible founder and leader got his green card just recently. and he is not the only prominent or visible leader to have got it. what does green card processing have to do with exercising your rights to petition government? did you read what siskind and murthy wrote? would they ask their clients to jeopardize their futures? for the record, the 485 asks what organization you are a member of- and i am a member of iv- and i wrote that.
it's a legal, registered non profit org. what's to be ashamed/petrified of?
this seems to be your real problem, the rest is just a cover up.
there are clearly many people with very genuine reasons for not being in DC. and that will always happen with any action. but we are 23,000+ strong. and you are benefiting from our actions per your own words. yet you lurk on tracking threads and then wonder why there are more posts there then on rally threads? wow...rocket science for the highly skilled!
franklin! i begin to think this thread is pointless. those that have genuine reasons do...people like mhb, susie, sunny and madhuri will participate when they can. others like rajesh (can't associate the name with a real person btw ) and inskrish revel in being armchair critics. they will only be genuine participants when it comes from inside them. meanwhile we have to suffer their petty complaints and feel like we owe them something. (!!!!!)
rajesh was in the DC area!!!!! and he chose to see other "attractions" on tuesday. you see it was not "need based". hilarious...but gives me heartburn. let's please close the thread.

Here is an update on Visa recapture from Aman:
"I know some people ask for achievements of Immigration Voice and comment, sometimes ridicule, that Immigration Voice has not been able to get even one provision in last one year. There are many other organizations working on behalf of various groups. If no immigration provision has passed in more than last one year, does it mean that all those organizations are also ineffective? We all know that this is a world of instant gratification but please understand that there are groups who go to DC to get their issues addressed and they wait for 2, 3 -5 years before anybody would start listening to their issues. You see, just to explain using an analogy, Microsoft is working to get H-1b numbers increased long before Immigration Voice started. If Microsoft has not been able to get Congress to increase H-1B numbers, does it mean that Microsoft is no longer an effective corporation? Likewise, Immigration Voice has made significant progress but due to the political climate and statistical discussion about the undocumented, which of’course is different but an important issue, our provisions are clubbed in the comprehensive bill. If it would have been any other year when Congress was not considering the issue of undocumented or comprehensive immigration reform, advocacy effort of Immigration Voice would have definitely translated all our provisions into law six months back.
If you want us to get Visa recapture as interim fix, allow me to share with you that as it stands today, it will not happen outside of Comprehensive bill. Infact as it stands right now, even H-1B increase will also not happen outside of comprehensive bill. Reason? Most of the groups and companies have stopped pushing for temporary relief because any kind of temporary relief or interim relief chips away support from CIR and the offices of Senate and House Leadership along with other proponents of CIR have made it clear that any immigration relief has to be a part of CIR and not outside of it. Other companies/coalitions have stopped pushing for temporary H-1B increase as they do not want to be in the bad books of committee chairmen and the leadership offices by trying to sneak temporary relief that divides the supporters of CIR. Leadership wants support for CIR and want all sides to wait for CIR. And not doing so and trying to get interim relief before CIR would put them in bad books of Senate and House leadership, which no one wants coz if CIR fails, then after CIR, these offices will not co-operate with any group that tried to take away support from CIR. So it would be counter-productive politically to do things that take away good stuff from CIR. Also, if you think that any effort in the final week could help in anyway, then let me to share with you that most provisions and their language are decided much in advance and last minute efforts almost never yield any result on the Hill."

I would recommend shusterman.com -- one of their lawyers Ms Najfabadi is extremely efficient, fast. Overall this lawfirm is very influential (with uscis, dos, senate, etc) and will help you out if you get stuck somewhere in the process and will get u out of trouble by hook or crook (upto the extent the law permits).
I would strongly recommend you to talk to the attorney I mentioned.

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
Fun apart, if you feel comfortable that you can find a job of your liking, and you believe your background will qualify you for a PR, consider Canada. It is a good place to live. You never miss home there. I am a Cdn citizen and have lived there for many years. Most likley I'll return back to Canada when I decide to retire. I know at least one person, who after living in the US for 11 yrs and unsuccessful in getting a GC, chose to make Canada his home, hoping to be there just for 3 yrs (needed to be a citizen), and then return to the US on TN permit. He has been in Canada for 8 yrs, and does not want to consider to move to the US any more.
Canada has a bit slower life, but is better socially and people are friendlier. It has less professional opportunities, lower pay and more tax. Yet, overall I think Canada is a better place to live. Why am I in the US? Purely for professional reasons. I visit Canada quite frequently, which I consider as my home.

Hey guys,
I am planning to take Infopass to see what more information i can collect.
Also does anybody know if USCIS send courtesy copy of Denial Notice to you as well.
My concern is that my attorney sent G-28 and AC21 both but he feel that since I-485 got denied means they have never updated G-28 or AC21 so it might go to my old attorney.
Does anyone know if i will get courtesy copy of denial notice?
Thanks

Aunts and Uncles with Gifts is no reason for you to look down upon entire SW Industry. Remember ur handle "JISDESH......" is prospering because of this Industry. Your Uncles and Aunts didnt do anything to get "JISDESH..." to the position it is in today.
You probably dont deserve a response. I am not from SW industry and yes I have a double Masters but don't feel heart broken that these guys stood up for their rights!!!

yes I 140 has been approved in Feb o7.
Let me wait for actual denial letter.
It seems that is the best option at this point for me.
- Thanks
Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.
