Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou

I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Don't worry..you still have time..start hunting for a job and you can transfer and extend your H1b for 3 years based on I-140 approval(beyond 6 years).

Hi Franklin,
Thanks much for your valuable feedback, and I agree to your points and suggestions.

You do realize I will hold you to your last point now though :)
To the people that did attend, I re-iterate, please don't judge people who post their honest opinion. We should take this opportunity to learn why people choose not to come so we can improve our strategy for next time.

How about meeting all our local congressmen and lawmakers in the next few weeks??
Since one of our key issues is educating people about our plight, it would be good to meet some of our local senators/representatives and explain our side to them.
Many of them are equally clueless about the difference between green card backlogs and H1 B visa limits (my local rep for example), legal and illegal immigration etc.
So instead of holding a rally so close to this one, why not have a few more lobby days or meetings with our reps??
Incidentally I like the idea of sending doughnuts/pizzas to the media people specially CNN...:) for obscuring our rally and misrepresenting it as "Amnesty demands"...:rolleyes:

See in Red.
Does that mean you are not one of us?
BTW I just asked another collegue in my office who is also an old IV member. He told me that you have a got a greencard recently. You were an IV member and you tried to hurt IV members by opposing the provision to file I485. You were scared that others with early PD will get to apply and your greencard will be delayed. I was stunned to find that we have such people posting on our forum and preaching others.
Probably your colleague did not tell you about the fact that I have contributed money to IV and the fact that I was the first to get together a group of people in SO Cal to get organized and talk. So there is always the other side of the story. I have never tried to hurt IV. That is an opinion your friend/you have expressed. I expressed my opposition to a certain stance that IV took, which I believe is quite democratic. Your reason about me worrying about people with earlier PDs being able to file is false. I had a very old PD myself. I was opposed to opening up the flood gates to allowing everyone to file for EAD and AP which would jam the whole I485 system. I was of the view that we try fixing Name check and I485 as a priority.
I still support IV and its cause.

I fully agree.
They may have some material education.
But Indian guys working here are third class fellows.
Arrogant, low tendencies, flase values etc.
They don't even mix with other Indians and think they are in Heaven or some thing.Don't worry if they loose their GCc.
These guys are unworthy of gettings GCs.
Best Regards
Don't make generalized comments. Are you an Indian ? If not why do you make such comments ? Did you meet all Indians ?
If you are an Indian, Do you consider yourself also arrogant, selfish third class person unworthy of a GC by your own definition ? You probably meant other Indians except you (Arrogance and selfishness by your definition) :)

Credit cards are issued mostly to GC holders only unless they have a checking account as well with the institution-unless one lies in the application. -snip-.
Unless there has been a change in the policy after 2000, one only needs SSN and a checking account (not necessarily at the same bank) to get a credit card. It is true that having no prior credit record is a hindrance, but that mostly affects the credit line (you will get a small credit line). All F1 students with some kind of assistantship/scholarship/stipend would satisfy that. AmEx used to be a very good choice for students that time.

Hi,
Looks like TSC is working fast approving EAD renewals. How about NSC? Did any one get EAD renewal approved from NSC?
Thanks
When I applied for EAD in NSC (paper file) it took 45 days to approve. Now I applied EAD for spouse on June 10th, no update so far.

First of all let us applaud the effort and commitment of needhelp and the many other committed members of Immigration Voice. I think it takes a lot to sacrifice personal time for an effort that others may benefit from but who may not see or recognize it.
Having said that some of the posts on this forum are emotional responses. I think we need to keep in perspective that "galvanizing people to a goal" is one of the most difficult things to accomplish. IMHO chastising "wake up" call speeches is not going to help. That is not to say that some of what is being said is not right. But I ask why should we chastise anybody?
At the moment I seem to be the only member of the NM Chapter (hopefully that will change). But frankly, it took me more than a year to buy into Immigration Voice and it's value. I have only recently started getting involved. As I see it, if someone visits this website (even for an update or to read forum discussions - as I did) they see value in coming here. Recognition of value brings commitment. But that also takes time. Maybe a lot of people cannot commit in ways we want them to commit. Maybe a lot of people choose not to. We should wish all of them the very best of luck.
Should we be disappointed? Sure. But we should also keep in perspective that it is their choice and we have to be "okay" with that.
On the other side, I was pleasantly surprised that in 10 days we were able to collect 2/3 rds of our target for the omnibus bill. That is an awesome feat. People can choose to be part of it or not. It is really up to them. I know I will have stories to tell.
And to needhelp...don't worry you have plenty of support and if you keep at it you will find more success.

An article of getting PIO card from India :)
www.outlookindia.com | The Papers Are In Order (http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?261306)
I am a Person of Indian Origin. I have a slate-grey passport-like document issued by the Indian government that says so. But I�m not really. I was not born or brought up here, and I do not have a single direct ancestor who, as far as I know, ever lived in India. I have become the proud possessor of a Persons of Indian Origin card because I am married to an Indian citizen.
I had lived in India, on and off, for ten years�and had been married to an Indian citizen for even longer.
Two men were seated at the edge of the sofa, looking more nervous than me. Shireen was questioning them.
Previously, my visas were renewed every six months. We now wanted to stay in India indefinitely and make our home in Delhi. I would have preferred dual citizenship�but that wasn�t, and still isn�t, available. PIO would be second best. But the actual card was not easy to come by. It involved a total of 17 visits to three separate ministries and five different offices. It took up at least four full days of my life. I was interviewed twice, the second time at home with my wife, Shireen. The first time was at the offices of the Foreigners Division, Ministry of Home Affairs, in an unventilated, very public room brimming with non-Indians from every continent. I reached the head of the queue after two hours of eavesdropping on other people�s immigration problems. I was asked, among other more prosaic questions, to explain why I had married an Indian woman (�Love,� I said, monosyllabically), and then, with a leer and a twinkle, whether I had had many Indian girlfriends. �N-no�, I stuttered. My hesitant response did not reflect either uncertainty or mendacity on my part, but my surprise and my growing irritation with the questioner. The interview ended abruptly. He wrote �Refer for further enquiry� on my residence permit and said I would receive a home visit. �We need to be sure that marriages to Indian citizens are genuine.�
Several weeks later, one Friday afternoon around 5 pm, I received a phone call as I was pottering around the streets of central Delhi.
�He wanted a bribe, you idiot,� my friend said. �You�ll never get your card now; he�d have been happy with Rs 100.�
The investigators from the Home Ministry would be at my home at 5.30. As I rushed home, images of Mr and Mrs, a television programme of my UK childhood, flashed through my mind. A gormless husband would be placed in a soundproof booth, while his bright-as-a-button wife would stand on the stage. She would be asked semi-intimate questions about their life together: what was the first present she gave him when they were ? What colour nightclothes was she wearing yesterday? And so on. The husband was then released from the booth, and would invariably get the answers wrong, to his embarrassment and everyone else�s amusement. It was gentle viewing�a mild celebration of female omniscience and male autism. But now I was going to take part in a real-life version of Mr and Mrs, and my precious PIO card, and perhaps my right to stay in India, would depend on it. And, suddenly I could not, for the life of me, remember the colour of Shireen�s toothbrush, or the name of her favourite Hindi movie, or her shoe size. Fifteen years of marriage had been erased from my memory. I was sweating with nerves by the time I reached home.
Two men were seated on the edge of the sofa, looking even more nervous than me, untouched glasses of water in front of them. Shireen was questioning them about their professional qualifications�which were not very extensive. I gave her a self-conscious kiss on the cheek and sat down. At that point, our children burst in, a dancing duet of carefree excitement.
�What are these children?� asked the chief investigator.
�They�re ours.� Shireen responded with a slight chill in her voice.
�Children of both of you? They are very old.�
�Yes, both of us. They�re twelve and eleven.�
�How do you have children if you are just married?� I had not prepared for this baffling line of questioning�and was later reprimanded for just sitting there with my mouth open. Shireen, meanwhile, delivered a crushing blow.
�Ridiculous (sotto voce).... This is all totally ridiculous (out loud).... We�ve been married for fifteen years.�
I nodded eagerly.
The two men looked at each other, aghast, and then started scrabbling through the cardboard file they had brought with them. It became clear that they normally interviewed newly-married couples.
�Can we see your marriage certificate?� I showed it to them and was asked for a copy. I printed out a copy of the certificate, which was downloaded on my computer. They then got up and left�abruptly ending my brief cameo on Mr and Mrs�having promised a decision within two weeks.
The following evening, a Saturday, our cook, Pan Singh, said one of the men who had come yesterday was at the gate, asking for a lifafa, the Hindi word for envelope. I asked him to invite the man in. Pan Singh returned, a little sheepish, saying the man refused to come in, but just wanted a lifafa�with our marriage certificate. And so, slightly puzzled, I printed out another copy.
Later, I told a friend this story. �He wanted a bribe, you idiot. A lifafa is what you put the bribe in. You�ll never get your PIO card now, and he�d have been perfectly happy with 100 rupees.�
Three weeks later I went to the Foreigners� Regional Registration Office to hear the good news, and the bad. �Your application for a PIO has successfully passed the enquiry stage,� the official informed me without looking up. �But unfortunately, Mr Miller, all your documentation has gone astray and you will need to resubmit.� I looked heavenwards and brought my hand down rather heavily on the table. �I�m sorry. We�re not computerised yet, and some of our agents are a little careless.� It may have been my imagination, but I�m sure I detected the trace of a wink in her left eye. �Probably best to apply next time you�re in London,� she told me cheerfully. I walked away presuming, but unable to prove, that my papers had been deliberately lost.
I took her advice. Three weeks after putting in my application to the Indian High Commission in London (no interview necessary), I had my precious PIO card�together with a 15-year visa, the right to buy property in India, and, to my amusement, the ability to join the diplomats� queue at immigration at Delhi airport. This is of no practical use, because I still have to wait just as long for my luggage, but I do get childishly gleeful as I saunter past the first-class passengers.
Except for the presumed bribary and loss of docs, I do not see anything unusual. USCIS do a lot more grilling before issuing a marriage based GC .
Think about the time consuming process and associated cost even for a EB GC. Well the cost is not bribe -- here they call it Attorney Fees.

I am not sure about the statement "There is no corporate support for EB reform.....". Check this link http://www.competeamerica.org/. They seem to have the same agenda as ours (i.e., IV's). Is IV aware (or in collaboration) with them?
The reason we see progress year after year with Schedule A and nothing happens in EB reform because there is no corporate support for EB reform. This is one of the reaons why we should be open for measure like 485 whenever possible, even after febuary 15th.
Maybe we need to figure out how we can involve the corporations in EB relief. The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

I Feel that what USCIS will do next is not return any application back to sender but DUMP them in some backlog storage room like BEC center and people hAVE TO WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR VB in OCTOBER IN ORDER TO GET RECEIPT NUMBER BASED ON PD AND THEN THEY WILL GET EAD and AP. The only thing is one might save on INCREASE 485 FEES:eek:
I don't think uscis can do that. They can either accept applications or reject them. If they hold the applications for next 3 months, they would violate their long-term procedures and would fear a lawsuit because of that. They know that they are original documents in those applications that can be used once again...god knows when...

Someone please explain this to me,
The labor certification for a EB visa is based on a job/position requirement.
What is the intent of EB based GC?
How long is the person expected to the job for which the LC was approved?
Does that clock start when the LC was approved or when the i485 was approved?
If there is an drive for this effort, I will contribute.
