Its in 42s.. I bet if it goes below Rs. 40., I bet atleast ppl from India would be hesitant to come to the US.
I'd say keep all the factors in mind
1. H1 employer tied visa
2. H4 spouse tied visa ;-)
3. Unattainable GC
4. Expenses/headaches of living in USA
5. Savings in terms of Rs <---- This is the biggest one here

Sanju, add78 and FinalGC and others...great points...Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am in similar boat as the OP. Its just that I already ventured out and now I am working as an independent contractor. I have a layer to go through between the Client and my employer (Desi).
Big consulting firms could charge 180, 200, even 250 to the client depending on the market rates for the particular skill set. Like most of you all mentioned, they do because like you, they want to make money as well. They have a bigger obligation of making their stakeholders happy. They do lot more than an average independent contractor do. They establish contacts mostly not at the middle manager level, but at the CEO level. As a CEO/CIO of Deloitte/IBM they have better access to CEO/CIO of the client. As it is pretty obvious, CEO/CIOs of the clients actually make/break decisions. So they are generally more successful getting big dollar projects. Once they secure a project, they obviously tend to place their employees on to the projects. Occasionally, they also hire sub-contractors AKA independent consultants when they don’t have enough internal resources.
I am looking for ways to be a successful independent contractor. I believe, networking and building a reliable set of people who can help you is very important. But the challenge is, it is not easy to find people who are reliable and who will ACTUALLY help you land a project. And of course it is not easy to stay in touch with everyone (at least for me).
To OP: I think you will have to decide what you want to do in your career. If company sponsored training, marketing, working on cross platforms/applications, stability, "company name on your resume", etc is important, you will have to compromise on the money. If you want to make quick money, take the plunge and jump in to independent consulting. You can potentially double your salary. You don’t have to have a G.C. to be a independent contractor. G.C./EAD certainly helps but not a requirement.Find a good desi employer who will support you and who will pay you "your share of money", find a good stable project and you are good to go. YOu can save money on taxes as well. But then the downside is, you pay for your own training, traveling and benefits.
End of the day - There are pros and cons on both sides of the world. Pick your choice, you will have to compromise on the cons.
BTW: I have to agree with Sanju on the commissions/under the table transactions that are reality in the consulting world.

my point is if dates retrogress and if processing EAD's and AP's takes a long time getting a EAD might be easy in the first 60-90 days but renewals will become more difficult.
its ok for folks that are within their 6 yrs of H1b but for others it will be a big head ache. As someone already mentioned earlier, you might have to apply for your renewal EAD the day after you get your 1st EAD and so on.
Maintaing H1 status (even during I-485) is a very good idea. One can get H1 beyond 6 years (in one year increments) if I-485 is pending.
I would apply EAD renewal after 3 months. It is a small price for peace of mind.

I am applying for AP (new). Are they issued with 1 year validity or 2 years ( now that EAD is being given for 2 years)?

USCIS will go according to the ND. They will not follow PD. PD is used only to make the application eligible for adjudication or to apply for AOS. One filed, it is the application ND that takes priority. For example, if there are two EB2 applications, and the PD for the two are Aug 2002 and Aug 2004, and the ND for these two are June 2006 and Jan 2006 respectively, the applicaiton with ND of Jan 2006 gets priority, provided both PD are current.

Good find !! After reading this article, I guess, USCIS would well support our demand for filing I-485 when PDs not current as it will give them more $$$ from EAD and AP extensions.

The only positive thing I can take from this visa bulletin (assuming there is even a modicum of linear thought possible on the movement of dates) is that the 485 traffic for PDs between 2002 July and Jan 2003 is fairly light for EB2 India. After all they stated as much in their footnotes about anticipated movement of PDs. This can be construed as offering some hope for those from EB2 India with priority dates in early 2003 (say up to march). After all anyone in their right mind would not chance CP now with the fluidity of priority dates and the pending BEC deluge of cases, and the hordes of people hunting labour subs. etc. Basically if anyone gets the chance to file 485 they will do it lest the dates retrogress again while they are waiting for the consular interview.
So those with early 2003 dates can be hopeful now, later than march and I doubt you will be in this fiscal years quota.
Very true about the nurses and PTs. This will definitely lead to a lot of noise and I am quite sure the remaining 50K visas left for recapture for yrs 2002-2004 will also be recaptured soon after the elections. I hope for the SKIL provisions but am less confident about them than I am about the Schedule A workers.

I beg to differ.. My PA DL is based on my Work Visa, hence it expires on the day my visa expires.. I tried to renew online and the system said since you are not a citizen u have to go to the DL Center for a renewal... Maybe your DL is from the time you were student or otherwise...
The best thing about PA is through online.
Visit the below link
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/driverLicensePhotoIDCenter/renewNonCommercials.shtml
and click on renew online. Here you have to enter your details and pay through credit card. You will receive the confirmation letter (DL60A/DL60R) through regular mail with in 10 days. Take the letter and go to the DMV for photograph.
The photograph folks don't ask any immigration documents, just the SSN original card. That's it.

Dear Friends,
Please stay together....we will get this permission.
If our parents stay in US, US economy will improved. We will be buying health insurance and food for them.
We will stop sending money to our native country. All money we earned will be spend here. We will be travelling more. Shopping more. etc.
This will help to improve US economy. I want to see US become super country like how it was when Bill Clinton was president.
We have a great present now. I was impressed by his speech about family value and raising kids together as family. I am sure, we will get help from him.
You know, How J2 visa holder got permission to work in US. A person fight for it and got it for many.
Don't bother about a negative persons comments here.
If we stay together, we will get this permission. Anyway, after you become citizen you got that permission. We can request gov to give permission to GC holders too.
Please call the White house and talk to President directly...May be we should be able to get this done by May 1st. Keep us updated.

Dude, you forgot the most important point....
After apology/providing GC, they are going to provide settlement assistance as a welcome gift....
Right!!! and in the future bulletins, the dates will continue to move to the future and all the FOBs will be forced to take the GC at the POEs else they will be denied entry into the US of A.

While this question may sound redundant, I want to make an honest attempt to understand it. How does creating media awareness translate into making politicians understand the complicated issues suffered by legal immigrants? Further do they give any weightage to the fact that the stories are in the media and therefore they need attention?
I am biased towards the opinion that we might have already run enough media stories. I believe that the real fight now is to convince the politicians to do something about it. Propaganda and lobbying is the only thing that works with politicians in this country. And you have to choose a medium that politicians directly refer to. Meeting politicians and their representatives in person is most effective I believe. With due respect to your views, Pappu, can we discuss some of these questions?
I agree. Our adversaries and friends alike have noted the media stories. What we need now is getting in touch with politicians, and action!

Looks like the guy we engage for our cause gets a shot to speak about immigration on WSJ and guess what he forgets us all together. Great job for picking QGA core team.
I am just reposting my post from yesterday just so that the people on core can read my thoughts…
“Guys,
I don’t mean to insult your intelligence, but who ever came up with ideas to ask, celebrities, a noble laurite and other accomplished folks from the immigration community to send faxes does not have the slightest plan on how to make this succeed.
If this is the kind of ideas the “lobbyists” QGA is giving us, may we need some fresh blood in helping us out. I completely agree “eb3retro” in working with AILA.org in helping us get our message across. PLEASE STOP THIS INSANE IDEA OF SENDING FAXES all the time either from members of IV or asking other people to do it on our behalf. We are hurting ourselves and don’t even know it. As I have said in my earlier posts “We need the Erin Brockovich of immigration to help us on this, and I am the AILA or similar organization can do this for us.”
Good Luck.
Quite frankly, I did not want to reply to your post, but your repitition above forces me to!
1) You have NO idea what it was like to find a lobbyist ready to work with us given a) We are dealing with a very sensitive issue b) We had only 10K in cash (5K raised by core members) and another 10K promised again by the core team. Do a real exercise and get a lobbyist to sign a contract with you for after revealing to them that you have only 20K. Try it now with even 50K and see how many lobbyists are ready to tow your line
2) Regarding your talk of Erin Brockovich and all, you do not even seem to grasp the fact that AILA is interested in the 11 million undocument workers. 500,000 skilled workers are nothing but a drop in the ocean compared to them.
In any case, have you done your part in contacting AILA? We have! Its easy to sit on the fence and complain but it takes conviction to actually DO something
3) Do you have any idea how difficult the task is to get amendments in? Do you know how much a fine balance the Republicans and Democrats achieved and are not ready to take on anything that might disturb the balance? Also do not forget that 500K people is not even 1% of the US population but 11 Million illegal immigrants make a sizeable chunk and alsong with Hispanics make more than 13% of the population. Now given this, who would you as a politician try to appease? 13% of the population or 0.1% of it?
4) And what made you think that faxing celebrities is an idea of the core team or QGA? Please read the posts again. It was an idea by a member!

Two years before you would have got a different reply because selling a house was easier than now. My priority date is Jan 06, EB3-I, but we bought a house because of our personal choice. We wanted to give our daughter a nice environment to grow with friends. Why should she suffer because of the delays in GC?
Not buying a house doesn't hold you up to a location, especially if you are in consulting but again if you want to settle down and travel less, with EAD, it is still OK to buy a house. As long as you have some saving to take you through just in case you have to go out of the country and come again, you should be OK. If you don't want to risk it and space is not a concern, renting is not bad at all. House in the US according to me is not an investment purely on dollar value but the quality of life is way better than renting. If you will lose sleep just because you made a major investment, then hold on for few more years.

Core members,
I think flowers comaign is a good idea. But I wanted to know why don't we send letters and emails to Mr.Aytes and USCIS Director and probably HEads of DOS to issue the 182,000 unused visas since 2000 now so USCIS can work on those visas from July to October.
NYTimes article mentioned that DOS officials did not want this years number wasted like the 182,000 visas got unused since 2000.
Can someone come up with a writing so we can all send emails and postals mails with this request.
