Here are my thoughts/suggestions:
Its good to know what other people are doing.. but when the decision time comes only ur personal things that matters
Ask your self questions like some of the below:
1) how long u are planning to stay in house/US - based on this u can use rent vs Buy calculators to see which option is better for you.
2) is ur monthly income (Net .. not gross) is enough to buy the house u want? - means house in good location, with minimum sqft, enough rooms etc
3) is this right time for you or r u just want to take advantage of 8000/- pay back - if so please think twice - you can save or get back this money by other means if you carefully plan. Just see if you are better off purchasing house next year.
4) if the house purchased, will you able to fund any future investments?
many more personal things to consider...
so THINK ,... THINK, and again THINK before jumping on this HUGE investment.

I've started calling and made first call to the chairman's office. I told the man that I'd called to express my grattitude and thank the chairman. Then I requested the chairman to take a yes/no vote on this bill and to take the bill to its logical conclusion, at least in the Jud Committee.
Please remember, "thank you" packs awesome power and all members should convery their thanks to the chairman and request a vote on the bill for logical conclusion.
I have not finished calling yet and I will update the poll only after I have made all the calls. From this thread it looks like the hearing is on 24th. If that is the case I will make the calls tomorrow so that I could actually talk to someone.
i checked again, the hearing is tomorrow i.e on 23rd itself. I got to make calls.

Fact is you can always make smaller contribution using pay pal or make $100 one time contribution in every few months.
You have no intension to make contribution, so just try to find excuses for not contributing.
Might be thinking �it not my fault�. only if IV lowers contribution amount�. You can keep thinking this and make yourself happy.
I shall say please don't repeat the same thing over and over again. ... if it doesn't work it doesn't.... yes... i will leave this forum soon, if things remain naggingly same.
And please remember it's bottom up that works here not top-down.

I was about to send the e-mail and then I decided to clarify this before jumping on to it.
I am not sure if I am asking the right question, but I am just curious what is the point in sending same e-mails to the editor of the newspaper ? From my experience in talking to them, they seems to be looking for issues and when you have something valid they print. Also a single e-mail from IV talking about us (on behalf of 6000 of us) and the issues we are facing would have sufficed ? Right ? or I am missing something ? I know e-mail as faxes work for political campaign to show numbers but not seen it in news media ?
Any idea how many emails news media outlets recieve? Do you remember the emails Jim Carey reads in Bruce Almighty? he hee .. Some thing of that sort, if not of that magnitude. By sending more emails, we are making the media cognizant of the fact that its not one person but hundreds of thousands of people. Also, these emails are mostly read by interns and they sort them( In big outlets atleast) The more the emails on same issue from diff people with diff body with same bottom line story gives us a better chance. Do I make sense?

IT and BPO outsourcing is also leading to Americanization of Indian youth and Indian youth are spending their high salaries on American products. In no time you will see American fast food chains, groceries, and many American MNCs cashing on a Americanized Indian crowd and neutralize ( and will eventually exceed the investments they make).
This is the beginning of Americanization. Most of you will not understand what I say because you are here in US for a long time and being first generation immigrants (on a limbo) keep up with your tradition. Americanization is like a slow bleed. IT and BPO is investment. Returns will come in form of MNCs and businesses and finally benefit American economy.
Just go back to India and look into the ITand BPO companies and lifestyles of people there. it will be 5 times higher than what we follow here as the Americanization is already induced.
Bottomline, do not underestimate America. They know what they do.
I share your thoughts. There are a multitude of sectors/issues that are mimicking the American style. With the advent of ICICI, any body can pretty much walk in and get a loan with a 30 yr EMI. Imagine the number of people losing jobs in India, both at Multinational and local companies providing services if the economy tanks here. What are people gonna do with home loans they signed up for 30 yrs or what ever? Fore closures on a grand scale?? Indian economy has been going up.. up and up due to software services and BPO sector. With out any manufacturing, infrastructure building up it would be very difficult for Indian economy to sustain growth or level out gracefully when hit hard. IMHO, Just being the back office of the world will not get India on par with US.

DA is accuser, for DV case, it is normal as sometime spouse would change mind and support the defendant finally.
Negative:
1. Neighbor call the police as they hear screaming from our apartment. It demonstrates something happen.
2. I said "annoyed" and "drag" in my statement from police derivational question. And police add one "push to chair", definitely it is illusive, I only said my wife want that computer, then I move her to study room, as chair is there.
3. One neigbour claimed she saw "I kept my hand on my wife mouth" As my wife continue screaming over 10 seconds, I tried to comfort her, but I even not sure my hands touch her mouth or not. If so, it is very lightly, I think you can understand that scenario, that is kind of instinct. And for that statement, the police even question, as the distance is so long and light not good, how that witness can see what's happen.
Positive:
1. My wife said kidding around at very beginning, she does not change her words. She questioned why police will arrest me when informed? We are put in different area when cop enter.
2. No mark, no injury. My wife said so and cop also check and find nothing.
That's all I found in the police report.
Something we did not say to police
1. The real reason for my wife screaming is pee on pants. that's for embarrassment.
2. The whole story is, I used computer, my wife want that for MSN chatting. She tried to disturb me several times, finally I leave the room for her and go to living room. But she did not stop, follow me and jump on me. I knew she is just kidding, my wife sometimes is like a kid. But my finger nail is hit by her at that playaround, sure not intentionally. So I hold her arm, just stop her kidding more. (that's the reason I said annoy, but definitely not mad or anger something), and then walk her to study room. (there I used "drag") In the hall way, even not enter study room, just at the entrance. My wife scream suddenly and very loudly. She is neat freak. Then I release her immediately and ask her what happen, anywhere hit? She just continue screaming. I continued comfort and calm her but no result. After about 10 seconds, I am worried it would impact neighborhood, so someone see my hand on her mouth. Then we heard several very loud shout from neighbours, just like "Stop screaming right now!". Then my wife stopped. After 10 mins, cop come.
That's 100% truth happen on that day.
Thanks!!!!!
I just do not get who is the plaintiff (accuser) in your DV case if your wife is on your side? Do you have a copy of the complaint filed in court? You can PM me details, if you want to. To me it looks like there is no ground for any case against you if your wife does not want to push it.

I have sold some items in eBay in the past, If I rememver correctly, when I sold something for $10 and the buyer made a paypal payment, paypal too $1.5 as fees.
So if you are making $20, only $17 goes to IV, IF the amount is >=50 I believe the fees is much lesser (like 5%) so more money goes to IV instead of making paypal rich.
How about check? 100% goes to IV.

And why do you think the White House was in touch with Immigration voice leaders and not with some corporate lawyers during the July 2nd fiasco if they did not recognize the strength and commitment of the skilled immigrant community and btw what makes you say 'july 2nd will never happen again.' what are you? God?
I smell a closeted Anti Immigrant here.....
you need to remember that you are not a us citizen and you have no rights, you're previleged to have a job here...you can campaign till the cows come home and you aren't going to get squat.
july 2nd was a mistake that uscis had to rectify....there were a lot of companies who had spent the money in preparing I-485 applications and then uscis would have to face a class action lawsuit. july 2nd will never happen again.

While some members might have jumped too hard on the whole thing, Some stuff goes unanswered.
1) Why has not USINPAC endorsed IV all this while on their website? Does not USINPAC know any thing about IV?
2) While I understand the importance of fund raisers for politicians, why USINPAC has not involved US citizens of American origin to contribute to the cause? What about grass roots efforts?
3) I dont have the exact statistics, but I am positive that every one out of 2/3 Indians living in the US is plagued by this problem of GC. How come Orgs like USINPAC are not pushing this by all means?
Forget the media mishap and the outrage of some members, if USINPAC really considers Immigration of Highly skilled Indians, they should be doing some thing. I personally am neither defending the outrage of some members nor appreciating it, but most of the Indian American citizen community does not want to be in sync with the plight of Indians immigrating to US.There are various reasons. Most important one as I have seen, Many in the Indian American citizen / Indian Permanent Resident community run consulting companies and they would hate to see these guys slip away from their hands by getting GC's. Fcuk, its like the damn door closes right behind you. I am positive most of those shops will come down to earth if Indian citzens start getting their GC's. May be its time, the Indian American Citizens/ Indian PR's ask themselves, what they really want. I have been to some Indian regional association meetings and the big guys or folks from my generation ahead would love to see their kids get married to an Indian or would love to see their kids grow with the rich heritage, but damn it, they just want it to happen with out doing any thing.

I agree with nixstor. I have my own template but not my personal story. It mostly highlights IV and its mission; plight of skilled legal-immigrants and in turn US' and also seek for some help from the media.
I recommend every one writing their own words rather than doing the copy/paste. If I were to recieve 10 emails with exactly the same content, it might make me feel like some ONE just sent 10 diff emails. IMHO, Its a good idea to write the gist of the story in your own words. Save it and use it for all the people in the media.

Like RAgz4u said, with a tight rope walk, it will be extremely difficult to get our amendments to pass.
Without that, even if the bill pasess and lets 12 million undocumented
folks get in the line, it is drastically going to clog USCIS which
may screw us up badly.
So what good is the CIR if our amendments dont get in ? Seriously....
Maybe we are better of without the CIR if our amendments are not in it.

our immigration department told me that as per USCIS regulation they can not apply earlier than 6 month of expiry date
Strange...
Apply on the date your 6 months are left. Use the couple of months before that to follow up with your employer and Lawyer and get all paperwork done and application packet ready. If lawyer or the employer is slow, then one needs to push them since ultimately you are going to be affected and nobody else.
The onus is on the H1B worker to be diligent and not leave everything to the last few months. DMV is only following the rules. Maybe some of them are not aware of the rules. The issue of not getting license despite H1B approvals, and H4s not getting DL is something one can take up as an issue with media and authorities. But just because the person did not bother to get the H1B extended until the last moment cannot be an excuse for relief when we approach the authorities.
