You may admire them as much as you want but fact is these are just "glorified" bodyshoppers. I meet many workers from these "great" companies at my workplace and see them being treated just as "low cost alternatives" and nothing else by this huge financial company in NY/NJ area. Because of their (INFY, TATA, Wipro, Satyam) "low billing rates" these guys cant afford good lifestyle. And back home in India INFY and TATA CEOs make billions and talk BIG. I've not met any TATA, Satyam guy here who is happy with their employer. They just hate their employers and always looking for a change. I wonder where they stand in terms of employee satisfaction? They treat their people like slave and send them as low cost labor. Not only that - they exploit US immigration rules and make use of L1 to keep their people long term at cliant place when they dont get enough H1.
No difference from local bodyshoppers! Dont think they are great companies. You may say "you folks are frustrated with these companies". But this is the fact. Period.
I think this thread is hijacked. I will also join the band :p I work for one of these companies (SWITCH - Satyam, Wipro, Infosys, Tata, Cognizant, HCL) and came on L1, became H1B and on the path of GC through the same company. Some of what you have said is correct that the employers are not paid same as what IBM US employers get (and of course what some consultants get). Some of the issues are working off-late hours and coordination effort etc.
The positive side of these companies is
1) Career advancement - One can really grow into lead and managerial positions if they have the aptitude
2) Technical Career Paths are there for those who are technically inclined.
3) Benefits - There are good benefits which usually may not be there for those working for desi-consultants
4) Support from a large pool of knowledge - If I face any issue, I post it in my company help forum, there will be many responses,some real good ones within a day.
5) More job security - companies are not yet used to down-sizing. In hard times, there could be some salary rationalization (which I think is OK - better than losing job) and increased utilization (again doesn't mean more work from individual it means optimal bench strength)
6) Growth - While it is debatable whether it can sustain the rupee strengthening or not, unless the company 's strategy is very narrow, nobody outsource for the cost alone...Many are simply build-or-buy decisions, and based on core-competency and risk management. Deals that are struck these days are multi-year, multi-million dollar ones which will provide guaranteed business over a long periods.
Coming to those who come on L1 or H1, most of them want to get an opportunity to work at client location to better their perspective (apart from Dollar conversion). Nobody comes here by force. Their priorities are always different than most of the forum readers' Their choices are also limited. Some leave as soon as they come here (I personally interviewed at least 10 folks last year who floated their resumes as soon as they landed here), some want to go back after working here few years, some switch to H1Bs through desi-consultants, thus enter rat race, some try to grow here in their company on long term basis.
Hope this clarifies few who pity SWITCH employees..
Again these are not "glorified" bodyshoppers. It is a very wrong impression. I am a manager at one of such companies. We have highest regards for our personnel, we strive hard to make a big difference, we compete with other service companies like Accenture, IBM and EDS, have high client focus and we feel proud about it. Never in ANY meetings or strategies we keep our employers' interest below anything.

Tony -
As you say that the illegal immigrant lobby gets hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. Do you think any illegal immigrant is contributing this money. They work for minimum wages and have hardly any money to spare.
I think most of the money comes from businesses that employ these people to cut costs.
Yes true, the hispanic groups is also about 50 million in size. I'm sure these businesses are breaking some law in funding, besides employment.
There are large organizations that support our cause too, especially IT. They played a big part in positive H1 reform. Not sure if they were approached or they work independently.
It looks like were averaging $0.05 per IV member though.
I find it hard to believe we don't have 2000 H-1s willing to contribute $25 a month
do people expect 40-50 persons to fund IV for campaigns that can benefit 45,000 members, as they watch from the sidelines?
Another point I think is that even if IV had a couple of million dollars I don't think it will be able to pursuade the Congress to pass any legislation to bring relief to legal immigrants .
I will defer that to core group & Donor Forum, but IV has acheived a lot of things as posted earlier, part of it through active lobby groups and political experts.
Well the illegal lobby is not doing anything much different, it looks like Dream will go through.

gcseeker, u just spoke my mind, this was exactly what was going in my mind, when i decided not to take transit visa. i just cant believe, there is another soul who thinks just the way, i thought, look at my PD, came to US in 1999, still no GC after 12 years, planning to leave back to india for good, this year..oh well, life goes on..
vishwak, dont consider my seniority by number of posts. As is I am going through so much injustice in life, having spent 12 years in this country and still waiting for GC bcos of this stupid EB3 mess, and now the germans decide to harrass me by asking for transit visa ? Not that I dont want to follow rules, but after spending 12 years waiting for GC, I am glad that I broke atleast one rule, of travelling through frankfurt to and from india without the damned transit visa. Of course I was travelling alone, and my family was not travelling , and hence I could risk it out. This does in no way prevent anybody in this forum or the world from not getting transit visa and continue to be opressed by the germans. Folks, I have just told my experience, rest is upto you if you want to get the transit visa .

I understand that is not a reliable source of tracking approval pattern, however, this is the only tracker we have available and this gives us fairly good idea about USCIS processing.
Based on , there are about 1200 Approvals for EB-2 (Including ROW, India and China) since Oct01 2007.
However, there are only 450 approvals for EB-3 (Including ROW, India and China) sine Oct01'2007.
So howcome they ran out of EB3 numbers when there are very few approvals for this year. I was hoping they will run out of EB2 numbers instead.
Any insight on this?
Thanks.

amitjoey, Thanks. I have sent a request to my senator yesterday and also mailed them all the copies of the documents. Just hoping that will also help. I was told that my file is already assigned to an IO and you will soon hear from USCIS. "Soon" in USCIS dictionary seems to be 30 to 45 days and thats very scary s that means it will about 130 days. I am just hoping they will approve soon. After approving it seems they are taking additonal 30 days to print the card.

I completely agree with JK...i work here in Phoenix in a construction company, and many of the legal immigrants (including Latinos, indians etc....brown skin people) have started to worry about this bill becoming law....every other person in our company have experienced what this would bring us....
We have been working in various cities here in AZ, and travel is a must for us...
Once, while I was driving to Tucson for a project inspection, i was stopped by border patrol agents at 2 different locations....i mean to say, they were not stationed in a booth or any thing, they had patrol cars just like cops....they just park their car on the shoulder, and wait for any brown guy driving across....
Infact, one border patrol agent followed me for about 2 miles, then drove right next to me, again slowed down to get behind me, and turned on the lights...so, I had to stop....luckily, i had my EAD card, which is always keep in my wallet, even though I am on H1-B....however, he insisted that we (as in legal immigrants) should carry our passports (Original and not a copy) with us when we travel...which is totally rediculous!!!!!
what irritates me is that these guys don't even understand what an EAD is.....he was expecting that I should have a visa inorder to be in the US....it took almost 25 to 30 mins to explain my status (H1-B, but not stamped in my passport)....that an approved H1-B petition is enough to stay and work in the US.....HE JUST DIDN'T GET IT!!!!!....in the end, this guy, as though he was doing a great favor to me, said that he is allowing me to travel on humanitarian grounds and with a warning....f&*k*&^ bull%^&*......
I have traveled many times with my coworker who is caucasian, and not even once have I had a problem with border patrol agents.....
I just don't know what to say!!!!!! is it their lack of common sense, or knowledge, or is it just plain blunt racial profiling???????

I moved out of GE Hyderabad and came to US. I decided to pull all the money from PF. So I submitted the application and came to US and forgot. I got the full amount within 90 days to the bank account specified. I was really impressed the way India is improving
I thought my country was worst than US but I am wrong seeing the way GC is going :eek:

As Senators Debate Immigration Bill, Frist Offers His Own
WASHINGTON, March 16 � Senator Bill Frist, the Republican leader, introduced a stringent border security bill on Thursday, rejecting pleas from senators in his own party who appealed for more time to finish legislation that would create a guest worker program for foreigners and a legal remedy for millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States.
Mr. Frist said his bill would include several measures already hammered out in negotiations under way in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had included an increase in the number of border guards, more fencing along the Mexican border and faster deportation of illegal immigrants. But Mr. Frist's bill would not create the temporary worker program that President Bush has urged to legalize the status of the 11 million illegal immigrants thought to be in this country.
"Our country needs security at our borders in order to slow the flow of illegal immigration and make America safer from foreign criminals and terrorists," said Mr. Frist, of Tennessee.
Mr. Frist said he had decided to pre-empt the Judiciary Committee's work to ensure that the Senate meet his goal of holding a vote on immigration the week of March 27. He said the committee's legislation could replace his bill as the starting point for a floor debate if the senators completed their work in time.
The decision put him at odds with Senator Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania Republican who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and highlighted divisions within the Republican Party over immigration.
"I think it is a colossal mistake to take this to the floor," Mr. Specter said early on Thursday. He sounded more conciliatory after meeting with Mr. Frist. Addressing reporters with Mr. Frist at his side, Mr. Specter said he would have preferred a different outcome but was optimistic that his committee could complete its legislation in time for it to be considered on the Senate floor..

everyone has to go thru namecheck process. Once during greencard process and once again during citizenship process. (if and when you apply for citizenship.)
To find out about namecheck, you can call USCIS and if you get an officer on the line (not the cust service representative ), then you can find out.
You can also find out about the status of your namecheck with infopass appointment. That will take up some of your time.
Thank you very much. I will follow up on that.

hey guys the main problem with digital cameras was that the images from them could be pixelated whn using a lower megapixel camera and/or printing from one of those home photo printers.
i think as long as u dont have pixelation, u will be fine no matter how u print/ get those photos.
i would say use at least a 4 megapixel camera without any flash
What about a 3.2 MP :)
Why shouldn't we use the flash?

You can bring UP TO 4 spouses on H4 visa. That's why it is called H4. Similarly on F2, you can only bring 2 spouses, Ah...students do not make that kind of money to support more than 2 spouses. USCIS thinks so much about us.
