I just wanted to get this discussion back on track of ppl wanting to be able rise up a little, let their wives work and feel the freedom to make a decision to go back.
Let me restart the discussion. I know we are all frustrated to the extent that we want to pack up and leave but we have invested too much time to do that. But let's assume things start moving and we get our GC's in a year or so. Having spent so many years waiting to "settle" would you be willing to unsettle your life again and start over in a country that you left more than a decade ago.
Note that I am not doubting anyone's intention or disrespecting any entry. Just wondering if its the frustation talking or there are ppl who would actually leave?

That's the entire world. You must be kidding.
Then your "World" is very small:) ... USCIS at least will have to pay that price and legally only this definition suits and can be validated..."All affected" means "ALL current" made by July first bulletin... I think there no one would argue based on legality... What's your definition?

My interpretation: the vote was not on Cornyn's amendment; in response to a Point of Order raised, there was a motion to waive the Budget Act for Cornyn's amendment (the Budget Act requires 60 "Yes" votes to bring to the floor amendments to appropriation bills); if 60 senators had voted "Yes" (and agreed to waive the Budget Act requirement for Cornyn's amendment), then a vote on the actual amendment would only have required a simple majority. But because only 55 voted "Yes", the amendment failed to obtain the waiver; it was out of order because it did not qualify as an amendment to this bill.
Because 40 Dems voted no on the waiver does not mean they are opposed to the amendment; they just did not want to vote on this amendment on this bill.

Nothing is so simple.
Most clients have policies that require them to deal with only a preferred set of vendors. In some cases vendors are managed through a vendor management firm that classifies vendors into 3 categories. The highest level preferred vendors get the most billing rate per resource they provide. In addition, a vendor needs to satisfy a bunch of requirements like % of resources successfully placed vs the number sent for interview with the client, ability to have a certain $ amount of liability and workers comp insurance etc. Due to these factors, a client will not directly enter into a contract with an individual and that individual has to go through a preferred vendor. Now the individual (akak resource) could be tied to a lower level vendor who in turn sends him/her to the preferred vendor who then sends him/her to the client. One of the best ways to increase your hourly rate is to eliminate as many middle tiers as possible. Ideal situation is to work for the preferred vendor that places you onto the client. In most cases of preferred vendors this could only happen if you have a EAD/GC if they do not do H1s. A second best situation is to work for a Desi consultancy that works only with preferred vendors (aka only 1 level between Desi co. and Client). In these cases it might be possible to make almost as much hourly $ rate as you would make working for preferred vendor if say preferred vendor works 80-20 on Corp to Corp but works 70-30 on W2. e.g. Client pays vendor $100/hr, You work directly for Vendor on W-2 and Vendor pays you $70 (70-30 split on W-2). Now if you work for a decent Desi co. that works C2C with this Vendor and if the Vendor pays Desi co $80 (80-20 split on C2C) and Desi co takes out fixed $ (say $8-10) then you still get $70 in hand just like direct W-2 with Vendor. This is if you work on pure $ or % basis with a Big American Preferred Vendor like say Teksystems or TAC worldwide or Ciber or Keane or KForce or Sapphire vs salaried consulting with say Deloitte or Accenture or IBM consulting where the way it works is these big fish do not just provide resources (you) per position like a American Preferred Vendor does but usually take on a big project and then staff resources for completing those projects where they pay you peanuts (like $70-90k) but bill the client like an American Preferred Vendor.
In short, if you are someone who wants job security and doesn't want to look for new contracts on your own and like to travel, stick with Big American Salaried Consulting companies, but if you want to make more money and don't mind a little insecurity/tension/can interview often/ready to move then if on H1, stay with good Desi that works only with Preferred Vendors or if GC/EAD, work on W-2 (as pure $ or % split) with a Big American Vendor.

People with grown up kids, I guess would prefer Canada over India. There are many problems starting with the education system, reservations etc. For kids who had been studying here from KG through grade 8-9 it's difficult to get dragged in the rat race in India, especially for normal kids who don't belong to any reservation category.
Yes in Canada we know that finding a job is going to be difficult and we should brain-storm about how to tackle this problem?
What skillsets are in demand? Anybody has idea?
I also have a wild idea like US companies may look at Canada as a outsourcing destination if given very competitive package. One of the biggest advantage will be proximity to the US, so better control over quality etc. That may not turn into a big boom but is a possibility.
I think the said "outsourcing" is already happening to a limited degree .. in fact many IT jobs in Canada are nothing but canadian offices of US firms. But it is never going to reach the extent of India or China, mainly because the savings in terms of cost are not as big.
The biggest problem I find with the canadian job market is limited demand for highly specialized IT skills .. so finding any job will not be a problem; but finding one commensurate with your qualifications and experience will be hard.Secondly, there are fewer tech centers than the US .. so one cannot afford to be too fussy about location etc. As far as I know, only Toronto and surrounding areas in Ontario would qualify as a "tech hub" in the US sense.

can you post the address that you sent to ? I am planning to do the same too. I will attach an email from the travel agent for loss of money if i cancel my tickets.
Guys,
I efiled my AP on 9/5/10 @NSC and it was approved today after requesting expediting on 10/5/10 based on financial loss, I have a business transaction back home for which i need to be present and provided all supporting documentation related to that.
This is what is think is more effective than contacting senators/Ombudsman for expediting, resend all the I-131 supporting documentation,proof of emergency/loss, 2 photos and include a cover letter with bold colorful fonts requesting expediting to the same address you sent your app earlier (btw, i used the USCIS center courier address and not PO Box address), i believe this way your app goes to the officer quicker and he has all the documents needed to approve your case right away if you qualify for expediting, i have used this process more than once and know it works at least for me....you have tried other methods, why not try this as well!
Good Luck!

One big missing piece in your analysis - Country quota.
As per your analysis, there are around 125K pending cases. If there is no spill over (that is the case this year and that will be the case for the coming years as per State dept.), then EB3-I or EB2-I gets only 2700 visas per year.
Now, please redo your math and you can easily see that the current retrogress might look like there is hardly any retrogression.
country quota will not impact I and C once the dates are current for ROW due to the spillover. If the number of applications pending is, say 100K and 95 K out of that are I and C. And assume 10K applications from ROW are add to the queue, what I am saying is all 110K will be cleared by end of the fiscal year.

Hello Everyone,
I am back again. This forum is outstanding when it comes to reliable information....
I work for a reputed US Consulting firm. They under-pay you and make you over work. They market fake resumes in a polished way. YES... IT is TRUE. Don't just blame the desi consultants.
I am on a EAD. I wanted to switch to hourly basis and wanted to see if there are any direct vendors who would be ready to pay better rates. Desi Consulting Co. is out of question. From my experience, Robert Half is bad too. Is there a better way to market yourself..to the employer?
Any help will be appreciated. !!
It would make more sense to compare and brainstorm if you can post the skillset you have in mind and the rate you wish for?
I agree that being on EAD or having a GC puts a person in a better situation compared to H1B but the bottom line is the skillset in context, demand for that skillset and expertise that one has in that skillset.

VinodMP,
Sorry to hear about your denial.
You haven�t mentioned about your education, maybe I missed it while reading the whole thread.
If your education was equivalent to US Masters (16 years) at the time of filling labor, in your case more specifically MTech or MCA etc. (16 years education) from India, both equivalent to US masters then it�s a wrong denial.
