anybody who has actually claimed the insurance on a diabetic visitor? My mother has diabetes, and there is always a risk with it. any help is appreciated.

The next step should be to get the yearly break down as well.

Try from american company. One of my friend had problems with claims when bought insurance from K.V Rao.

Any insurance is fine if you are not claiming. The real trouble comes, when you need to use the insurance & claim money back.

No insurance covers pre-existing condition

We are really now in a global credit/liquidity crisis. Please see the link below to see the cash crunch the major real estate players like DLF are in. This article is from July so you can imagine what September would have been like for them. Prices have already come down in major centres. Currently there is a game of chicken being played between builders and end use buyers. Every indication is that very soon builders will have to cut their losses and sell their flats at deep discounted prices.

What really baffles me is the attitude of some members in this forum. They contribute $20 a month (some dont even do that) and want to be treated as a Congressman , with updates & news flashes.

Get real people. First of all your contribution of $20 is nothing compared to what we are up against. We want to push for a change in law in a foreign country, which will impact generations of this country with a small contribution of $20.

The point being: If you cant run the show then shut up and watch it. Give your advise when asked for and dont pretend to own it.

@vj i would surely unmask him here , gimme another 10-15 days i will reveal everything about him pal , dont worry.

@bugsbunny i paid about $4200 for the process , he said some attorney fees and stuff

Does someone have an experience of application process, so that i send in the right papers, before leaving here. i mean the set of documents to send to DOL, so that i do not miss out on something important which could nail him to the maximum

Do you have a copy of the H1B application?
It should show a lot of details about the employer and also as to who prepared the forms(attorney info if there is one)

As i said if the company itself has done the work themselves with a full time attorney...then the company is fully liable...if the company has hired outside attorney...the company is still liable...but the outside attorney would also be liable for building fake cases.

There is also a law that if the H1B employer has terminated your services before the estimated time your service was required then the employer has to pay you the transportation costs for your return home.

Please read the following articles for information on the H1B process

For me the frustrating aspect is that my first son is in college. Arizona State University is forcing me to pay out-of-state fees and have stated that I could only pay in-state tuition after filing I-485! So the money I could have invested in business is going to college tuition. Another son is in senior class in high school and will be going to college next year. Yet another son will be going to college in 2008.

I have thought of going back to Nigeria but I'll like my sons to finish college here. So, I have decided to stay until I get GC. My wife and I are both studying for Masters (another big expense for us!).

We spend most of our time between studies, volunteering and other community activities.

Could others on this forum who have college-age kids tell me how they and their families are coping with expense of college tuition?


I have been to different state and I have stayed in different state. I think if an individual had stayed for one year in a state, the indivudual is eligible for in state tuition, that is the general rule I observed in all the state I have stayed. My wife is studying. I don't pay any fee for her. The tuition is covered under HOPE scholarship.

My status I140 approved and I485 pending.

Although problem is genuine, no body (media, lawmakers, and US citizens) noticed our problem and recognize out contribution. We need to do something non-traditional to draw the attention of media. DC meet is one good chance, if we can gather significant quality heads. I am scared that only around 1000 members (may be less) are active at the peak of depression. And I don't know how many will show up to DC.

Immigration is not our right but at least, world should know the injustice.

I am not worried about H1-B.. They cannot and will not put the restrictions that they have in the bill and the new amendments being proposed.
Trust me you will see that I was right.

WALL street,silicon valley,middle vendors,big vendors,desi;s,small businesses
all will die in no time. I repeat that they will not touch H1-B.

The problem that we face is how to remove this retrogression. How we have to fight for it?

The big companies will help us in getting some relief but we really have to voice our concerns and get the media know what we need.

We should stop worrying about H1-B

We should ask the congress for I-485 filing as Illegals can get in no time, so why are they stopping us (Very Valid Point)

Need more visas to remove backlog.(You increase visas to get the illegals get through to their GC fast, then why are we held up

Congrats and n'joy the life...i understand your anxiety and you deserve it...

hi kvranand / nik.patelc,

same thing happened with my wife's case too, RFE status change on 4/3 and then again a soft lud on 4/6 on my wife and soft lud on mine on 4/7 ... no status change... can you guys let me know once you receive the hard copy... i will update once i receive it...so far havent received and waiting for it...as we have only 30 days to respond...

it seems like a good question to ask

Aren't these pretty complex questions for them.

Why can't we ask a simple question like this?
1. Given the green card woes lot of US eductated scientists and technical talent are leaving US for their home country. This is helping the home country and increasing outsourcing market. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to do any thing to keep them here?

Should I ask this question? Any inputs.

Its probably around 102K but please check the "Action alerts" button on the homepage for the latest everyday.

Thanks,

CONGRATS!! this story gives us all HOPE..especially guys like me who are waiting for the Labor cert for the past 5 years...Happy Holidays:cool:

Ok here is my question how come all EB3 are "body shopped consulants" and what are EB2 ? "High profiled consulatants" ? I want to know what is gctest ?

there is nothing wrong in expressing but taking a category and calling them body shoped is not the right way to express ...

You have a valid point about gctest. But again, there is no way EB2/EB3 gets to port to EB1. If it was so, then it would be a chaos here. Only porting that happens is E3 to EB2 and may be that's why he used EB3 in his post.
Maybe he really meant that or maybe he didn't. That's again up to one's perspective.

you think you are having a logical and polite conversation - thats the ignorance part .
Prove it. All my posts are here in this thread and tell me how am I NOT having a logical and polite conversation.

I am glad IV is focusing more attention on the name check nightmare. I filed 485 in December 2006 (EB1) and am stuck in the namecheck.

Namechecks:

IV will be soon posting some updates on this. We have done some ground work on this issue in the recent past and have got positive response. Stronger support from our members, will definitely help us push this agenda item. IV feels that this issue is going to be a big roadblock for a lot of us now, after people have filed their I485s. It is possible to get a much wider bi-partisan support on this issue by us and we are already pursuing it.

Pls. stay tuned on this issue.

Does the deadline have to be so farking close!?

I can not emphasis this enough. We need out of state volunteers to help call bay area members!

I will help you. Please send me phone numbers

Wanted to let those interested know that my 140 EB2 got approved yesterday after RFE.

The RFE was on educational grounds. I have a 5 year integrated Msc in Physics and was -how a degree in Physics is equivalent to computer Science.

My attorney submitted a detailed analysis of all the course and a fresh educational evaluation on the 28th and it got approved on 30th.

M**f** ganguteli

I'm not anti immigrant. I'm on H1 (actually EAD with EB3 PD of Jan 2004).Almost got laid off with replacement by an L1 from TCS. Good for now for another 3 months!!

If you still think against me, i wish you get a situation where you might get laid off and replaced by an L1

I'm for reform for GC processing and I dont support the abuses because of L1s

No more discussions with idiots like you

I completely understand the situation. But believe me this bill not good for anyone but anti-immigrant. We need to fix the broken system and make sure the employee is not tied to the employer. It will take care of all the misuse and low wage. I hope you understand the point. Now they are coming for L1, then H1 and then for EAD...

United we stand and divided we fall.

Hello,
I have used the below thread when I was in the same situation as yours. Hope this helps.

SA 3275. Mr. LEVIN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 3093, making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, and Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. ANNUAL REPORT ON DELAYED BACKGROUND CHECKS.

(a) In General.--Not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall submit a report to the congressional committees listed in subsection (b) that contains, with respect to the most recently completed fiscal year--

(1) a statistical analysis of the number of background checks processed and pending, including check requests in process at the time of the report and check requests that have been received but are not yet in process;

(2) the average time taken to complete each type of background check;

(3) a description of the efforts and progress made by the Director in addressing any delays in completing such background checks; and

This does not go far enough to solve the problem. A lot more work is needed to get an immediate fix to the problem.
