While some members might have jumped too hard on the whole thing, Some stuff goes unanswered.
1) Why has not USINPAC endorsed IV all this while on their website? Does not USINPAC know any thing about IV?
2) While I understand the importance of fund raisers for politicians, why USINPAC has not involved US citizens of American origin to contribute to the cause? What about grass roots efforts?
3) I dont have the exact statistics, but I am positive that every one out of 2/3 Indians living in the US is plagued by this problem of GC. How come Orgs like USINPAC are not pushing this by all means?
Forget the media mishap and the outrage of some members, if USINPAC really considers Immigration of Highly skilled Indians, they should be doing some thing. I personally am neither defending the outrage of some members nor appreciating it, but most of the Indian American citizen community does not want to be in sync with the plight of Indians immigrating to US.There are various reasons. Most important one as I have seen, Many in the Indian American citizen / Indian Permanent Resident community run consulting companies and they would hate to see these guys slip away from their hands by getting GC's. Fcuk, its like the damn door closes right behind you. I am positive most of those shops will come down to earth if Indian citzens start getting their GC's. May be its time, the Indian American Citizens/ Indian PR's ask themselves, what they really want. I have been to some Indian regional association meetings and the big guys or folks from my generation ahead would love to see their kids get married to an Indian or would love to see their kids grow with the rich heritage, but damn it, they just want it to happen with out doing any thing.

Hi,
I have 3 yrs degree + 1 yr PG diploma.
But they won't file my GC in EB2 category, as I don't meet the 4 yr BS requirement.
Here is a list of accredited institutions that offer online MS degrees at reasonable tuition:
Best Buy Masters Computer Science & Information Technology | Ratings & Rankings | GetEducated.com (http://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-masters-computer-science-and-information-technology)
You can also consider getting a US bachelor's degree through online courses and credits-by-testing from one of these:
Thomas Edison State College/ Academic Programs (http://tesc.edu/academics/academicprograms.php)
http://www.excelsior.edu/ecapps/degreeProgram/degreeTable.jsf?gw=1
List of Programs Available at Charter Oak State College (http://www.charteroak.edu/Prospective/Programs)
If you do an official evaluation of the 3-yrs degree that you already have, it can be equivalent to up to 90 credits from a US School (which is equal to 3 years of undergrad education here). All these credits may or may not be transferable to the school/degree that you choose to enrol in. But you would have to research and find a school that would let you use most of them. That way you can complete your degree much faster than the standard process.
Whatever you choose, make sure that the school is regionally-accredited by one of these organizations:
CHEA: Directory of Regional Accrediting Organizations (2009-2010) (http://www.chea.org/Directories/regional.asp)
Remember every long journey begins with just one baby step... Good Luck!

This is rather discouraging if this is true. This basically says one can't require any experience for zone IV if you require MS.

Agree on ur second point, however I was surprised with the context that "ok lets see how much we can buy the MS course and how soon can i finish it" as supposed to it will be great to do MS and lets see how I can furtherey ar my career with an added benefit of getting C in case of GC process.
Again just my thoughts.
How can some one further their career if they cannot take a higher qualification job because of AC21 constraints. MS or not i am sure that these people are qualified for better jobs, but they cannot advance their career because of lack of green card. To rectify that situation they are planning to do MS. So they are planning to do MS to further their career as you suggested which according to you is the right and moral way. I don't see any reason for surprise

04/28/2007: Sen. Hagel's Immigrant Accountability Act of 2007, S.1225, and Point System for Legalization
The Senater has released the skeleton of this bill that provides for legalization of illegal aliens as part of his Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation proposal. This is a companion bill to his High-Tech Worker relief proposal. Supposedly, S. 1225 is to cover the illegal immigration issues and the High-Tech worker relief bill is to cover the legal immigration issues.
It is uncertain the point system the House Judiciary Subcommittee is scheduled to have a hearing on 05/03/2007 is limited to the legalization legislation or overhaul of the total immigration system. If it is limited to the legalization, we would not necessarily oppose to the idea, but it involves overhaul of the entire immigration systemn, we would strongly oppose to such point system.
The point system which Senator explained in the press release in S. 1225 includes the following:
� Military Service (after meeting initial qualifications for adjustment)
� Advanced English proficiency
. Civic Engagement � significant community service work (religious or secular), a clean criminal record, and on time payment of income taxes for past work
� Business ownership (which employs at least 2 unrelated �legal� workers)
� Home ownership
� Work History (points for each year of work an alien can prove) (Like Hagel/Martinez)
� Education (additional points for all levels of education)
� U.S. Presence (points for length of time in the U.S.) (Like Hagel/Martinez)
� U.S. Citizen/Permanent Resident Spouse or minor child
(A)Basic Points FACTOR POSSIBLE POINTS
Work :The range of points is based on the number of years a person has worked in the U.S. (Up to 5 points per year possible.) 15-30
Education :An alien may earn minimal points for primary school, additional points for high school or obtaining a GED, or skilled trade license. 15-30
Family: A person may earn points for having a U.S. citizen child; additional points may be awarded for a U.S. citizen/legal resident spouse. 10-20
English: The range of points is based on level of proficiency - the more fluent, the more points. 5-15
Civic Engagement :Points may be earned for community service, having no criminal or civil infractions, and on time payment of taxes. 5-20
U.S. Presence: The range of points is based on the number of years a person has lived in the U.S. (Up to 5 points per year possible.) 10-12
Total Possible Points: Specific point values will be determined by regulation. 60-127
An alien must earn 65% of available Basic Points to eventually qualify for a green card and citizenship.
(B)Extra Credit Points :Extra points may be awarded to those immigrants who have made exceptional contributions. FACTOR POINTS
U.S. Military Service :Points for being eligible for honorable discharge. Up to 20
Business Ownership :Points awarded if business is sustained for 18 months and alien employs at least 2 non-relative employees. Up to 10
Advanced Education: Points for college degree or advanced degree. Up to 15
Home Ownership :Up to 5
Other Circumstances: There will be factors that we are unable to anticipate at this time. These factors, and the points to assign to them, are at the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security. Up to 20
The Senator is expected to release the summary of his bill. The full text of the bill will also be published sometime next week. Please stay tuned. Until that time, please refer to the Senator's presss release.

Guys,
I keep hearing that "STEM will be exempt from the quota". What EXACTLY does that mean? Does it mean that:
1) STEM's can apply for 485 straight away if labor is approved regardless of PD?
2) STEM's still Cannot apply until PD is current, but after that no more waiting for the country quota

While some members might have jumped too hard on the whole thing, Some stuff goes unanswered.
1) Why has not USINPAC endorsed IV all this while on their website? Does not USINPAC know any thing about IV?
2) While I understand the importance of fund raisers for politicians, why USINPAC has not involved US citizens of American origin to contribute to the cause? What about grass roots efforts?
3) I dont have the exact statistics, but I am positive that every one out of 2/3 Indians living in the US is plagued by this problem of GC. How come Orgs like USINPAC are not pushing this by all means?
Forget the media mishap and the outrage of some members, if USINPAC really considers Immigration of Highly skilled Indians, they should be doing some thing. I personally am neither defending the outrage of some members nor appreciating it, but most of the Indian American citizen community does not want to be in sync with the plight of Indians immigrating to US.There are various reasons. Most important one as I have seen, Many in the Indian American citizen / Indian Permanent Resident community run consulting companies and they would hate to see these guys slip away from their hands by getting GC's. Fcuk, its like the damn door closes right behind you. I am positive most of those shops will come down to earth if Indian citzens start getting their GC's. May be its time, the Indian American Citizens/ Indian PR's ask themselves, what they really want. I have been to some Indian regional association meetings and the big guys or folks from my generation ahead would love to see their kids get married to an Indian or would love to see their kids grow with the rich heritage, but damn it, they just want it to happen with out doing any thing.
Dear Nixtor, we should not question that why they do not have IV on their site and they do not cut us any checks. It is their site and they can architect it the way they can. Yes, the Indian Express misquoted Robinderi or may be it was a misrepresentation, we would never know but the good thing is that he has acknowledged the discrepancy. That is where it ends. Robinder has been a very highly regarded ananlyst and a commentator of indo-us relationship. We needs friends with him and not make enemies. It is a different thing that he is associated with USINPAC and we do not agree with their agenda, approach or the way they misrepresent themselves to be the representatives of Indo community in USA. We have about 2.5 million Indians in USA of which about more than half a million are stuck in this green card mess. Any organization that claims to be a representative of Indian community should have this Green Card reform as a very top priority in their agenda, but it was extremely disappointing for the people fighting for this cause when they approached some of these organizations who could provide just lip service and press releases from their chambers and project that they are on the top of the issue and working hard to get the work done. IV has filled this void for a true grass roots level organization with a huge membership base which is truely global,not just Indian and working in an extremely organzied fashion. I am sure that many of the the organizations envy the way we have built the membership base ( we are not a paid membership org) and have individuals roll up their sleeves, go to the fields across the country and work for this noble cause unlike others who are limited to doing press releases, photo opportunities and advertizing to promote them selves.
At the end, time will tell if Immigration Voice would be successful in the agenda it has enbarked on, but what ever the final result be, our efforts would be analyzed for years to come by the ethnic, minority and national groups as to how to unleash the power of the Internet to build and run a grass root level oranization. Can you imagine how it would have been if Internet were available at the time of Mahatma Gandhi? I am sure Robinder has been thinking and analyzing that and we would welcome his analysis.
Peace..!

If you have plans to travel...could you go to the local INS office and get the AP??.AP is very important too if you are travelling
Simple answer is NO. The local offices do not have this authority. Just have to wait for the USCIS wheels to move along at their own pace before you can travel.
