Dude you brought up the point of being a proud donor. Nobody gives a hoot if you donate or not.
You are doing it for yourself and not for humanity.
Get it right!
And the way you behave shows what kind of background you have (UP/Bihar)
So just grow up and learn how to respect others!!!
Arunmurthy, Please dont drag UP/Bihar. Bihari are proud indian too. I am not bihar but narrow minded guy like you talk all this nonsense. People from south may be educated, techy but very discrimating and hyprocrate. Most sound indian just hang out on their identity group and we all know if non south indian and south indian go to interview for tech job and person taking interview is from south, who gets job?

Read it, Understand it and then please let me know if you still think that OP was in "unauthorized work", as this is what you have written before
Again, Thanks a bunch Desi3933. My case is pretty much same as 'Scenario 1' in this Murthy document.
Desi3933 cleared the 99% of the cloud surrounded this issue by pointing to murthy.com (I maintained valid status with 'Employer #2' and this doc says I am good to go). Thank you very much Desi3933.
Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.

If this government doesn't wake up and solve this problem in a year or so, I don't think, this country deserves me, or for that matter any graduate degree holder.
Better off utlizing the skills I have acquired here, and spending my next 5-10 years contributing to India's economy. Maybe start a company or something...create jobs out there, and then as and when the laws straighten and America becomes welcoming to EB talent, think of coming back (if ever....)

A lot of people continue to debate with each other, accuse IV, say all kinds of nasty things that makes us sometimes question why we are working so hard for this cause. Our own people can be our worst enemies. But when you read the stories of harship, struggle and problems faced by members within our community you feel the need to work harder and give your best to this effort. It is a waste of our time and energy to douse fires everyday. There is strength in unity and collective effort.
While we are busy amongst ourselves, anti-immigrats are having party time seeing our state of affairs and they are working overtime to make us unsuccessful. They visited our forum today and saw the article published by our member in media and went to its site and trashed the member of our community. I feel we must try to protect each and every member of our community and this organization in order to bring everyone closer and feel comforted in the outside world where we have enough anti-immigrants hellbent on defeating us.
More than 7 hours have passed and not a single member has written a note opposing the views of the anti-immigrant group that works against us. The reason for not taking part in anything outside this forum is very clear. It is because we are more worried about getting updates, where $20 are going, criticising our own community members and sometimes criticising IV.
Do go here and post some hard hitting arguements to shut up Kim Berry

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
"I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover".
Are you suggesting we "Get over the spill over issue" because that's what current law says ??
Then by that logic, should we get over the "recapture issue" too?? because that's what current law says...now I am appalled.
As I understand, IV's objective is to change laws in favor of the immigrant community. Agreed Recapture is priority #1 since it alleviates majority of our concerns, but is it the only one ?? Especially when recapture happens to be the most difficult one to achieve . Answer is NO.
IV has scored so many smaller wins in the recent past to provide temporary relief to the community at large.
You say "I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2".
Some EB3s might have expressed jealousy .Shame on them. But most are expressing anger because EB3 is "U" and the spillover formula will keep them retrogressed for years to come and not because EB2 moved ahead . Godd for Eb2s.
Your India specific jealousy example can be applied of any country. India does not hold monopoly over jealous acts. People are jealous not countries.
You say, "None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable".
IMO, this is frivolous...this kind of questions can be countered by equally frivolous question like ..... How many Eb2s are now expressing their anger over this years interpretation of spillover laws by DOS??

Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.
piyushpan,
Exactly my reactions too. In the section by section analysis posted on Frist's website - http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf it does look like it is only for those who did their masters in the US though. So I-485 and consequently EAD will not be a problem for those of you.
However if you do not have 3 years of experience in a related field, you will be subject to the quota and hence you will have to wait for the priority date to become current to get you I-485 approved though.

You still have time to arrange your plans and attend! Here�s why you should come:
You have probably made up your mind not to attend the rally. Perhaps you think that already many people will attend and that one more or one less person (You) will not make a difference. But it will! In fact, let�s not even think about whether one more or one less person will make a difference. Rather, I invite you to think this way: Do it because it�s right! Do it for yourself! Think to yourself that you would do this even if you were the only person attending the rally. Think of Gandhi. Think of Martin Luther King.
You have been very frustrated for years with this broken immigration system, right? Perhaps you�ve been stuck for years, no raises, spouse cannot work, children aging out? How many times have you wanted to tell Congress what�s on your mind? This is likely your ONLY CHANCE to do so! Again, think of this in terms of you attending even if you were the only person attending. Attend because you are mad. Attend because you want to see change. Attend to make yourself visible, and make everyone out there know of your silent struggle. The silent struggle that you have had to put up for years. Even if that�s all you do, you will feel better. People will know the unfairness that you have been treated with! Attend because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! If your friends are not attending, try to convince them, but if they choose not to go, don�t let that influence you! Sometimes in life we have to do things just because they are right, no other reason. Will this rally work? Will lawmakers listen? Will my employer be mad that I took a day off? Will I have to spend $500 to get there? None of that matters! The only reason of why you should attend is because you have been abused, and you will not take it! You have dignity! You will go and tell Congress to stop messing with you unfairly. You have the power, freedom and OBLIGATION to do so! Your children will be proud of you. If you do not attend the rally, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime lost opportunity! LET�S GO! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "
I know that's what he said but if you read that statement again, nowhere he talks about Highly skilled legal immigration. I think he is talking about the family based immigration, which again caters mostly to the Vote bank. From everything I have read, Obama seems to be anti-outsourcing and neutral (or maybe negative) towards highly skilled legal immigration

I wasn't trying to undermine the role iv had in the flower campaign. All I was trying to suggest is that initially some opposition did exist and once it gathered momentum on its own iv supported it whole heartedly which led to it's success. I was only comparing it to the "we fast while you feast" idea. I m the one who proposed it and will gladly shove it in the dustbin if there is some solution to our common suffering.Lets not undermine IV's efforts in promoting the flower campaign. IV may not have started it, but the publicity on IV went a long way in making the campaign a big success.

Tech firms, upset about the provisions in the bill related to visas for skilled foreign workers, known as H-1Bs, are not yet saying whether they would oppose it.
Instead, they are banking on an amendment to be offered by Sens. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., John Cornyn, R-Texas, Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. that would exempt from the H-1B annual cap foreign workers with advanced degrees from U.S. universities or with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0507/053107cdpm2.htm
if competeamerica, tech industry etc are waiting for this amendment so a good guess is that it would get introduced to be voted upon
