In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day.The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to the US Zoo.
The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a goat or two every day and a US Green Card also.
On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast.The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas.Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India.
The next day the same thing happened.On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered.
The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him, 'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management?, what nonsense is this?Why are you delivering bananas to me?'
The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but ..did you know that you have been brought here on a monkey's visa!!!
Moral: Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey elsewhere!!!
If there is a contest for the best entry, this one gets my vote.But, there is a subtlety that seems to be missed here.Monkeys are mostly brain, whereas lions are all brawn (we are a lot closer to monkeys in our genetic makeup!).So, looking at it from that angle, and in the context of what we are trying to achieve here in US, who would we rather be :)

Ofcourse I am unbias.
I can't even begin to think how many people I know; cases I know from people who are from india.
I'd say that it is less then 3% from people with other countries.
As another poster rightly said that many of the issues happening is mainly to India because it takes so long to get the greencard and eventually everyone gets into these issues.
Non indians don't face many issues because they get the greencard so fast; and hence they go through very little issues (generally).If other countires had to wait so long then everyone would also have similar types of issues.
Since most of the forums are related to IT and Indians then if I ever broach on something a little negative or give different perspective then people look at my profile and see I was born in Pakistan and think there is some bias there.
btw; I left when I was five years old and hardly knew any pakistanis/indians when I was growing up and for what it is worth my wife is Hindu.
Your posts are arguably best on this forum.I have religiously read all your posts and will do in future.Your posts always make sense.I just wish we could get more insight and perspective from you.Great work.Keep them coming.
What are your thoughts on h1bs/GC sponsored by universities.Do you forsee any problems with them?Also any insight on long time it takes for visa stamping?

Its a pity when it is obvious through numerous congressional debates who the culprits are in blocking EB friendly legislation.Here we are again with the EB recapture bill and who again is blocking it?The New York times identifies them by name and nowhere does it mention Durbin.Its thus is beyond comprehension when unfounded future claims of doom, apprehension and fear are spread without the basis and contrary to facts presently before us.Instead one needs to be more concerned about the possible reelection of the two below and several of their sidekicks:
Jeff Sessions (R)
Steve King (R)
A House bill that could recapture an estimated 550,000 lost visas, sponsored by Representative Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat, has been moving slowly through the committee process despite the best efforts of members like Representative Steve King, Republican of Iowa, to sabotage it with ridiculously restrictive amendments.
In the Senate, Robert Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, is insisting that a visa-recapturing amendment be added to a bill reauthorizing E-Verify, the federal database program to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants.For this, he has endured an onslaught of criticism from nativist groups and colleagues, like Jeff Sessions of Alabama.(http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/03/opinion/03fri2.html?ex=1380772800&en=282e9836144364be&ei=5124&rtner=permalink&exprod=permalink)

Both are problems.The misuse of H-1B visa petitions prevent honest people from obtaining such a visa.That is not right.The issue of the illegal immigrants in this country is an ugly one as well.In my personal opinion, I do not believe any talks of amnesty should affect people with green card petitions pending.People given amnesty should go to the very back of the line and pay a serious fine on top of that.
In earlier posts you were talking about how people have to leave if they can not get their H1 renewed under new law saying some one who cannot find "real job" should leave.
What kind of real jobs these undocumented people have , that your beloved Senator loves them so much ?Shouldn't they be deported first according to you law and order folks?

Real estate cycles are lenghty ones..not like stock markets which turn around in 4 to 5 years..Real estate booms are seen once in every 15 to 18 years...This is because the sum of amount is huge and the stabilization time frame.
Based on current outlook, the prices for houses will fall until end of 2010 and will stabilize in next 5 to rise again by 2015 to 2017.This is purely based on historic pattern..Now god kows what these crazy folks like Bernankie (15 fold increase in currency base projected in Fed Reserve BS.:D) and Gessner' (foolish tax payer investment in GM though it looks like payback to unions) interfearance will do to this country...
Some people jump guns and create demand for home to get $8000 credit...you can see now the builders are increasing prices for homes in the market...slowly..but will not sustain into 2010..it will fall for one important reason, supply is too much..oh by the way..30% of home owners want to sell their homes in this market to avoid further fall...based on recent survey..

Yes, you are right, the recent 485 denials for people using AC-21 have nothing to do with Obama/Durbin immigtaion policy.But I kind of remember there were some harsh provisions for people using AC 21 in CIR 2007 version.I am trying to find out the details about it.
Correct me if I am wrong.
I dont think there were any provisions in 2007 CIR that curtail job movement using AC21 for greencard holders.I think we are over-analyzing this - that Sen.Durbin is against lot of H1B provisions is evident.Also he may not be in favor of visa-recapture for EB immigrants - but I dont think he will single handedly drive immigration rules and make the life of all EB immigrants tough.He may have some support in changing the rules in H1B - but I dont think even he is not that negative regarding GC aspects - even if he is, may not get widespread support for it in congress.
Also Obama has shown his governing style (from the campaign, debate etc) - which is very level headed based on a bunch of things and discussions rather than following "one" ideological path blindly.If at all I think his administration will be more favorable to EB GC reform and somewhat unfavorable H1B reform (and completely pro-undocumented reform just like McCain).This is based on my interpretation of his immigration policies on his site and based on his general campaign.

This thread is very interesting to me.I've kind of lived though both sides, and it is really aweful for everyone but the abusive employer.
My understanding of Immigration Voice's agenda is that this group is really for people who have H1B visas and are in the country already to bring their spouses and children here with full rights to travel and work, make sure renewals of H1Bs happen so you can stay in the country, and, even better, to convert H1B visas to green cards.
My understanding is that the only reason that Immigration Voice supports increased H1B visa numbers is because people whose current visas are about to expire, and family members, are counted in these same numbers.
Please correct if I'm wrong.I really would like to get this right.
Anyway, if I do have it right, it seems to me that the AFL-CIO position (give people green cards instead of H1B visas) bridges the core concerns of members of Immigration Voice and the Programmers Guild.Whether or not everybody recognizes this is a different story, but it is good to know where the overlapping concern is, and hopefully in long term, get people talking about a solution that really does try to bridge the gap.
For the record, we are neutral on the issue of H1-B visa increases.We neither support nor oppose increasing H1-B visas.The last thing we want to see is even more gullible H1-B folks with GC mirages being added to our midst.However, it often happens that ANY reform to the EB program is clubbed together with H1-B increases ..thanks to corporate lobbying or whatever ..in such cases we obviously have to support the broad package of high skilled immigration reform.
We DO NOT deny the fact that H1-B has looph*les that make us vulnerable for exploitation ..that is one of our major reasons for pushing GC reforms.Our grouse with the likes of PG, lou dobbs etc is that they offer a one-sided criticism of the H1-B program full of half-truths, outright lies and insinuations about us "stealing" jobs.They highlight the exploitation part only to promote their agenda ..those occasional noises about giving GCs instead of H1-Bs is exactly that.Their real agenda is an end to all skilled immigration.Had they sincerely promoted balanced skilled immigration reform like tighter enforcement of H1-B provisions that protect US workers along with faster GC process for those meeting those tighter requirements, I would have gladly supported them.

I am also looking for buying house in new jersey and as you mentioned all good places with good schools have hardly any effect from recession and housing down turn.But any way if you have to buy a house for long term then no point in waiting.The only thing bad times do to good places is value doesn't increase like it does in good times.Any suggestions on areas in New Jersey with good school and affordable (I mean something in 350-450k)?I know some very good areas where worst looking house starts at 700k which is out of scope.
USDream2Dust
jung.lee,
I do share the same concern as you.But after doing a little bit of research about housing in my area, i did figure out that housing in good school areas are always in demand.So it's probably more important than ever to buy in a good school district if anybody is buying.Moreover in NJ you hardly have any land left to build any new houses, so there are not a lot of houses on the market in some areas.I am kind of relieved a little to buy it in the area i am buying.The job losses are a concern though.Right now it's only in the financial field but it could affect other industries also.But it's still a cycle and everytime we see some recession looming, it's been advertised as the worst in recent history still people live and come thru it.Some suffer losses going thru it, some doesn't get affected.During last recession, people lost millions in stocks and some my own friends lost more then 50K and that is no better than the situation we are in right now.So why worry now?
