    There is good chance that we might loose visas this year too....with USCIS allocating resoucers to citizenship apps given the elections in november.

    We need to prevent that....that ought to be priority # 1....recapture can happen in parallel .

    Last year there were not unused visas.

    Worldwide Employment-Based preference limit: 147,148

    Actual number of EB visas issued: 154,458

    The US fell in rankings primarily due to the Iraq-Afghanistan war which has cost $500 Billion to date and which contributed to the federal deficit. In addition to deterioration in the fiscal deficit, the trade deficit of around $60 billion each month is a huge risk to the US economy and could result in a sudden and large fall in the value of the US dollar. The ony reason that the trade deficit has not affected the US is because of the 70-90 billion that flows monthly in to the country through investment in treasury notes and the stock market. However in the long run either Europe and Asia have to consume more or Americans have to save more and not depend on the financing by the rest of the world. In the case of India, the public sector deficit which is a net negative to the Indian economy is draining the life blood of the economy and will be a long term drag on the economy particulary in areas such as water supply, electricity and other infrastructure such as roads and ports unless the public sector is made more efficient or it is privatized. With the left playing a larger than life role in Indian Politics, things may not change much in the short to medium term.

    Here is the summary from the W.E.F. regarding the rankings:


    The Global Competitiveness Report 2006-2007: Country Highlights

    • Switzerland is number one in The Global Competitiveness Report for the first time, reflecting the country’s sound institutional environment, excellent infrastructure, efficient markets and high levels of technological innovation. The country has a well developed infrastructure for scientific research, companies spend generously on R&D, intellectual property protection is strong and the country’s public institutions are transparent and stable.
    • The United States, previously in first place, continues to enjoy an excellent business environment, efficient markets and is a global centre for technology development. However, its overall competitiveness is threatened by large macroeconomic imbalances, particularly rising levels of public indebtedness associated with repeated fiscal deficits. Its relative ranking remains vulnerable to a possible disorderly adjustment of such imbalances, including historically high trade deficits.
    • As has been the case in recent years, the Nordic countries hold prominent positions in the rankings this year, with Finland (2), Sweden (3), and Denmark (4) all among the top ten most competitive economies. The Nordic countries have been running budget surpluses and have lower levels of public indebtedness on average than the rest of Europe. Prudent fiscal policies have enabled governments to invest heavily in education, infrastructure and the maintenance of a broad array of social services. Finland, Denmark and Iceland have the best institutions in the world (ranked 1, 2 and 3, respectively) and, together with Sweden and Norway, hold top ten ranks for health and primary education. Finland, Denmark and Sweden also occupy the top three positions in the higher education and training pillar, where Finland’s top ranking is remarkable for its durability over time.
    • Germany and the United Kingdom continue to hold privileged positions, ranked 8th and 10th, respectively. In the areas of the safety of property rights and the quality of the judicial system, Germany is second to none. By contrast, both countries score poorly for their macroeconomic environments, though Germany does less well. In both cases public sector deficits and rising levels of public indebtedness as well as a strengthening of the currency in both countries in 2005 are the main causes of this. The United Kingdom excels in market efficiency, enjoying the most sophisticated financial markets in the world. Its flexible labour market and low levels of unemployment stand in sharp contrast to Germany, whose business community is burdened with sclerotic labour regulations. But Germany does somewhat better than the United Kingdom in innovation indicators and the sophistication of its business community is peerless.
    • Italy’s competitive position has continued on a downward trend, well established over the past few years, dropping four places to 42 in this year’s Report. The list of problems is long. Italy’s underlying macroeconomic environment is poor due to having run budget deficits without interruption for the past 20 years. The fiscal situation has deteriorated sharply since 2000 and public debt levels are well over 100% of GDP, among the highest in the world. The poor state of Italy’s public finances may itself reflect more deep-seated institutional problems, which are shown in low rankings for variables such as the efficiency of government spending, the burden of government regulation and, more generally, the quality of public sector institutions.
    • As in previous years, Poland remains the worst performer among the EU economies, with a rank of 48, right behind Greece (47) and well behind Estonia (25), the Czech Republic (29) and Slovenia (33), Central and Eastern Europe’s top performers. Particular weaknesses in Poland stem from the highly protected and rigid labour markets, particularly harmful in a country where unemployment is close to 18%. As in many transition economies, businesses have to deal with uncertainties stemming from weak institutions, corruption and crime, favouritism, an easily influenced judiciary and a weak property rights regime. Deeper reforms will be necessary if Poland is to increase productivity and stay competitive in the face of rising labour costs. Among the candidate countries, Turkey and Croatia both seem to have benefited from the "EU bonus", moving up impressively in the rankings by 12 places each, to positions 59 and 51, respectively.
    • Russia has fallen from its 53rd rank in 2005 to 62nd in 2006. The private sector in Russia has serious misgivings about the independence of the judiciary and the administration of justice. Legal redress in Russia is neither expeditious, transparent nor inexpensive, unlike in the world’s most competitive economies. A ranking of only 110 among 125 countries in 2006 suggests that it is time-consuming, unpredictable and a cost burden to enterprises. Partly because of this, the property rights regime is extremely poor and worsening. Russia’s ranking in this indicator during the last two years has suffered a precipitous decline, from 88 in 2004 to 114 in 2006, among the worst in the world.
    • Leading within Asia are Singapore and Japan, ranked 5th and 7th respectively, closely followed by Hong Kong (11) and Taiwan (13). These economies are characterized by high-quality infrastructure, flexible and efficient markets, healthy and well-educated workforces and high levels of technological readiness and innovative capacity. Malaysia, ranked 26th overall, has one of the most efficient economies in the region with flexible labour markets, relatively undistorted goods markets and public institutions which in many areas (e.g., rule of law, the legal system) are already operating at the level of the top performing new EU members.
    • Korea’s (24) performance is slightly more uneven than that of Malaysia. The country has already reached world-class levels in certain areas, such as macroeconomic management, school enrolment rates at all levels, penetration rates for new technologies and scientific innovation, as captured by data on patent registration. However, Korea continues to be held back by institutional weaknesses, both public and private, for which it has not yet reached the standards of Finland, Sweden, Denmark or Chile. Taiwan (13) continues to operate at a high level of efficiency but has dropped below last year’s "top-ten" status. It is an innovation powerhouse, with levels of per capita patents registration exceeded only by the US and Japan. It continues to excel in higher education and training indicators (ranked 7th overall) but, like Korea, its overall rank is weighed down by weaknesses in the institutional infrastructure.
    • India ranked 43rd overall with excellent scores in capacity for innovation and sophistication of firm operations. Firm use of technology and rates of technology transfer are high, although penetration rates of the latest technologies are still quite low by international standards, reflecting India’s low levels of per capita income and high incidence of poverty. Despite these encouraging results, insufficient health services and education as well as a poorly developed infrastructure are limiting a more equitable distribution of the benefits of India’s high growth rates. Moreover, successive Indian governments have proven remarkably ineffective in reducing the public sector deficit, one of the highest in the world.
    • China’s ranking has fallen from 48 to 54, characterized by a heterogeneous performance. On the positive side, China’s buoyant growth rates coupled with low inflation, one of the highest savings rates in the world and manageable levels of public debt have boosted China’s ranking on the macroeconomy pillar of the GCI to 6th place – an excellent result. However, a number of structural weaknesses need to be addressed, including in the largely state-controlled banking sector. Levels of financial intermediation are low and the state has had to intervene from time to time to mitigate the adverse effects of a large, non-performing loan portfolio. China has low penetration rates for the latest technologies (mobile telephones, Internet, personal computers), and secondary and tertiary school enrolment rates are still low by international standards. By far the most worrisome development is a marked drop in the quality of the institutional environment, as witnessed by the steep fall in rankings from 60 to 80 in 2006, with poor results across all 15 institutional indicators, and spanning both public and private institutions.

    If there are any known survivors in their immediate family (parents, siblings etc), they would need support in this hour.

    actually, it's not a bad system, at least in India when you pay a bribe things get done. In a crazy way its probably more efficient.
    here you have no choice, stuck in the line with no way out.

    And premium processing is nothing but an official bribe, to expedite your case. But it's an organized system of bribes: first you pay PP for H1-b, then PP for LC (aka Perm, since atty fees are much higher than for RIR), then PP for I-140, but at each stage you pay a bribe and get stuck in another long line at the next stage. Only way out is by paying another bribe.
    So, in the final analysis, which country is more corrupt?
    India does bribes on a small scale, at lower levels of authority. US does it officially thru the govt!

    Money talks in every country, and frankly I dont mind paying the price for faster service, now if only they would introduce bribes for I-485.

    I am sorry, but I have to heartily disagree with this. Bribing is one of the reasons that India is backward. Don't forget that India has millions who don't get enough to eat or drink, and also has some of the poorest people in the world. Massive corruption has helped creat a situation like that. Whenever a person takes or gives a bribe, it is like robbing someone of what they should be earning. When you pay a bribe, you are in a big or small way contributing to poverty.

    Also, I don't consider the premimum processing fee to be a bribe. The money they get is used to pay salaries to their employees legally.

    I have no doubt that the US is less corrupt, and I am glad it is this way!!!

    I guess different people may have different takes on this, and this is mine.

    Why every discussion has to end with donate - why donate? What IV has done so far? Where the money goes? EB2 vs EB3... etc. Stop hijacking threads.

    By the way, the title of this thread is of no good. Don't give such title to generate clicks, your post is not a media news site to give misleading titles to generate clicks. "Whats happening with EAD delays" would have been more appropriate.
    Every discussion gravitates towards donation because at the end of the day, the reality is that there is a need to mobilize funds, to take our game to the next level.

    At the same time, there is a whole bunch of immigrants waiting in the queue for 5,7,10 years, passively, just talking, who could have easily contributed $25 per month to create a momentum for us.

    All this complaining about transparency (knowing or not knowing that not-for-profit organizations need to follow very strict accounting and disclosure rules), is just not productive. I would rather put my trust in a bunch of fellow immigrants who are trying to help us all collectively.

    Even if nothing comes out of it, I would have tried to push my luck through this group, rather than sitting and waiting for things to change on their own.

    Disclaimer: I am not a part of the core or any peripheral group of IV. I am just like everyone else, but have decided to try my bit by contributing.

    One in the East Coast, One in the west coast and one in between.

    For the West coast I would pick the SanFrancisco Marathon (Just to be sure that gsc999 participates :p) on August 03'rd. The participants of this event can choose either a 5k, half marathon or a full marathon. This event should be fun to be part of. We have lot of committed members in our No.Cal chapter.


    I would love to take the lead with this project. I have done a fund raising initiative for Arthritis Foundation of America when I ran the Mardi Gras Marathon in honor of my mom. I raised $1,100 in a 6 month period for the AFA. The idea I have is that Team IV members will participate at their local events and we should pick 3 national events such as the Chicago Marathon/Half Marathon, the Breakers 10K (is that San Diego?) and even the Crescent City Classic 10K right here in my hometown. Team IV should be well represented at these 3 national events.

    Team IV members can set up an e-mail support group when training for any events. There are numerous on-line training guides which we can use. And I can also look into the idea of an on-line training coach.

    I already have the committment from 4 friends, all of whom are US Citizens, to join this Team because they support our cause.

    You mean to say CIR will be introduced to the immigration or judiciary senate committee or introduce directly to the senate. If it is introduced directly to the senate floor that will save a lot of time, on the flip side it will become difficult to add or change provisions if it is directly introduced to the senate bypassing the senate judiciary and immigration committee

    I called Senator Ed Kennedy's office and was told that CIR is likely to be introduced in early March something like first week. They of course told me that there are no guarantees, but more a reasonable probability.

    Hello All -

    I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.

    i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?

    ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?

    iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

    -Neo

    I have renewed passport when my passport was going to expire 1 year later.
    i think that you should have minimum six months left for expiry anything less than that leads to more processing time thats what i was told at SFO when i renewed in 2001 and was told the same when my wife renewed at Wash DC in 2006. I think they take a day to process means if u give today u will get next day . Same day are are cases thats my first hand and second hand expierences

    Can this bill come out of the black hole of the committee? Most immmigration related bills never see daylight :(

    How many times have you met your lawmaker offices in person in the last 1 year asking for a bill?

    If your answer is zero or 1, then that is the reason no bill never sees light of the day.
    If our community does not go out and meet lawmakers, their plight will stay buried inside the forum threads.

    please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
    Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
    Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.

    This is not fear mongering. You DO NOT have a grace period for H1B termination as you do on F1-OPT or anything similar.

    The right way to stay in H1 status is to get a transfer BEFORE the termination date on your H1B.

    In reality however, USCIS may not look at it from a zero tolerance policy while ACTUALLY adjudicating the case. They may approve the transfer if the paystubs are "RECENT" enough or may send an RFE. The usual criteria for recent is two weeks or sometimes upto a month. Anything longer is at your own risk.

    The 6 month period hoolahous refers to in the link is for "UNAUTHORIZED EMPLOYMENT" meaning working for an employer other than your H1b sponsoring entity usually the H1B petition is still valid. I believe that is not the case here.

    If you would like to stay on H1 status, my suggestion would be to apply for a transfer with another employer before the end date of your current job.

    If that does not work, you always have the option of using EAD to get another job, but in the meantime your status should be fine as you have filed for your 485 and you will be in AOS.

    As always, check with an attorney for your specific situation and use your best judgement.

    Good Luck!

    06-25 03:30 PM
    I double checked with my attorney , either or AP or EAD usage will change your status, ie H1 is no more valid.
