I guess it's not about service. It's about job professionalism. There is no problem with Air Hostess or employees, but it is management. Let me give snap shot of my exp.
My flight was from Bangalore --> Bombay --> USA
Flight took off at Bangalore 60 mins late. Staff reassured that flight in Bombay will be waiting
Once we reached Bombay they took boarding passes and tore them off. They said your flight already left, you have to go next day. Some passengers noticed that few passengers are still boarded into US flight with flight nbr given in our boarding passes. When everyone made an issue about this they said, it's overbooked so we can not accommodate.
So their statement that flight took off was literal lie which is unprofessional. Also they deliberately delayed Bangalore flight which also they did not manage nicely
Then they said go to Delhi there is a flight. We reached delhi there is no flight. There AI staff said not sure why they sent you here. Only option is next flight starts tomorrow. Next day they listed the flight but again they say it's cancelled due to technical difficulties and part has to come from other country and you can fly only tomorrow.
By that time there were passengers of 2 days waiting. when every one made a big noise, they arranged a flight after 4 hours.
They should have made alternate arrangements before all this mess and 2 days of waiting. Consider people with infants.
I understand unfortunate things happen but deliberate lies due to mismanagement and moving you around just to buy time is completely unprofessional. I did not find this kind of unprofessionalism in other airlines, even though there are other bad experiences with them also.
similar incident happened to my room-mate, may be little worse.
The airline was aerofloat (russian) in this case.
they boarded aircraft from bombay to ewr. aircraft started running on runway and after some unsuccessful attempts they came back to terminal. with everyone's surprise, the pilot announced that there is a techincal difficulty and unable to takeoff.
Next flight was after 48 hours and that too from delhi. No need to say my friend spend 24 hours also at moscow airport and finally reached newark after 4 days finally. All these with no ground staff at bombay by aerofloat. Being young students, my friend and his groups helped like a coolie to shuttle all other elderly passengers bags to hotel and so forth. He is a very fair person and still doesn't blame aerofloat. He bought the return ticket for 760 with tax, where other airlines used to charge like 1200 or so.
morale of the story: don't blame airindia for all the faults. I am sure there is lot to improve but it is not the only airline where things go bad. This is possible anywhere.
and lastly, the OP who blamed airindia for not allowing duty free stuff bought at NJ at frankfurt - don't blame AI. It is the airport staff of FRA and not AI.
For all those who think that only airindia is bad, go to google and search for reviews of any airline. Chances are very high that you will get such horror stories described by someone.
The OP somewhere has an attitude that he is too important and shouldn't have any issues. Unfortunately the world is not perfect.

I had emailed CIS Ombudsman's requesting temporary relief in such uncertain times...by allowing ppl to file for AOS..even if their PD is not current.
They replied to me ..but i think a more co-ordinated and deluge of such requests will make them take this issue seriously.
I think desi3933 is right -- that one cannot file AOS without PD being current. However, this does not mean we should give up pursuing our goal. The secretary of DHS specially made it clear that she is willing to push for changes both regulatory AND legislative. But before putting in any effort, she will need to know what changes to push for. She even specifically mentioned the issue with pre-application of AOS, which seems to me a real good chance to get the message delivered.
Just for starters, here are the benefits I can think of about pre-filing of AOS:
- By having all applications on file, let USCIS better predict case load and allow DOS Visa Office to make informed decision on Cutoff Date movements
- Create more revenue for USICS (DHS) via AP and EAD applications
- Reduce the work load of Overseas Consulates when applicants with AP does not have to apply re-entry H1B visa.
- Many H1B visa holders have to go through the administrative procedure when applying re-entry visa. This process is more or less a duplicate with the background check required for green card application. When the applicant is allowed to travel with AP, the effort of background check is consolidated and allow resources to be better utilized.
- EAD allows applicants more freedom to change job, this will results in better resource distribution to accommodate the rapid changes of the economy, and it makes the market the most important factor to determine wages.
Please add whatever you feel missing to the points and maybe we'll come up with a formal letter to communicate to the secretary.
Last, to address the concern that USCIS may be flooded by AOS applications from freshly off-the-boat H1B's, restrictions need to be put on the qualification of AOS. What I could think of is:
- Must have approved I-140 (immigration visa. I think this restriction makes the most sense)
- Must have priority date older than a certain number of years
- Must have been in the US legally for five years
- etc.

I would not agree with your interpretation. You are insinuating that a majority of the EB based green cards sponsored by employers are similar to family sponsored green card and also that people are favoured for their nationality.....how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Possibly your exposure may be limited to mom and pop shops and that may be the basis of your analysis....!!
Working in a "regular" company and having the authority to hire people in my department, "nationality" thoughts have never crossed my mind....!!!
Everybody is entitled to their opinion. It's pretty much an open secret that staff augmentation firms (which take up a pretty good amount of h-1 and GC) are involved in nepotism and filing for their own country people.

See if you can post a flyer in the Ann Arbor Indian foods store (Foods of India) near the medical capus. The one in Canton (forgot the name-- the one where they sell bhel) is also a hot spot for folks working around Ann-Arbor/Detroit areas. There is one more Indian store on Packard further up north (in Ann Arbor) Owner is a VERY FRIENDLY guy and very well connected (his connections helped in selling my car, find a subletter...!). He's alway open to flyers and such.
I have spread the word to some I know in MI, hopefully they'll respond. Good luck!

Guys who got NOID/Denied 485, quick question.
Looking back, do you think it was worth making the job move using AC21? Is it really worth the time, money, anxiety, sleepless nights that you go through during NOID-MTR?
For people getting layed off, they have no choice but to use AC21, but for rest of us, why not continue with the job you are currently in and let the GC take its turn rather than risking it?
PS: I am in US for past 5 yrs with May06 PD. I am just trying to get an opinion here, so don't flame on me. I was comtemplating on using AC21 but reading all the NOID stories, i am bit hesitent now.
Well - depends on how you perceive it. A few days of anxiety is better than working with same salary/same job for years? Most of my friends are scared to use AC21. They are just shit scared, they do not want ANYTHING to happen to their Green Card - they did not join IV because they are scared that something will happen to their GC petition.
Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss. I used AC21 because I was with desi employer - though our relationships were good, as the client filed for chapter 11, my desi employer who has a poor accounting system figured out that there were a lot of invoices unpaid which he never bothered to follow up and lost a lot of money and rubbed everything on me. So it was a good time for me to get out of such mess as I already finished 180 days after filing 485 and as such I had been doing my own marketing, negotiating my own billing rate, and always billable so I utilized this opportunity to get into a more stable job which is decent paying.
I talked to various lawyers and was aware that AC21 has some risks involved but everything can be sorted out. I weighed options, though I could stay with the company, I moved on.
So it is your choice.

Shut up you junkie..
RSVPing and then not coming is very professional?
Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.

The Point system that this bill refers to is a BS , look at even canadian system they differ upto some extent on these. But the key point is this bills retroactiveness , it simply puts all those ppl stuck in BEC out of scope , the point system is not tried too , just becoz the managers of these senators thought this is good by getting a hybrid point system of Canada, Australia and UK is good enough ? This point system is worse than current sytem no matter what ever it might be good for some but logically , technically its flawed

I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!
Thank you very much av2004 and axp817

He transferred H1 to Company B and worked for 5 weeks and descided to come back to company A (He is 100% sure that Company A didn't revoke / calcel his H1 and he has valid H1 till 2009).

Please help by clarifying...
Thanks

Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.
When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.
Please read some thoughts at:

Simply amazing ...
have you guys lost the ability to think and read...
It is USCIS that decides the categories and it is they who say that EB1 is more skilled and valuable than other categories
Again ... like I said in my post .... It is NOT NOT individual's qualifications or Country that matters, it is the JOB descr they do that decides the EB category. IF USCIS places more value on EB1 than EB2/EB3 category jobs that is not my problem .... but thats the way it is... and that was my point .... if the value placed on the job is higher that job...
If things make you sick .... there is a fix for it .... go to a doctor ...
But truly... I do believe you are sick, inability to coherently digest a discussion and think is a serious anomaly and you should get it checked out...
Herez the qualifying criteria for various EB categories.
FIRST PREFERENCE Includes:
Intra-Company Transfers - Executive or Managers
Outstanding Professors and Researchers
"Extraordinary Ability" in the sciences, arts, education, Business and athletics
Note: Categories 1 & 2 do not require a labor certification7 Category 3 does not require a labor certification or offer of employment.
SECOND PREFERENCE Includes:
Professionals with advanced degrees
Aliens of "Exceptional Ability" in the sciences, arts or business
Note: both categories require an offer of employment and a labor certification unless a "National Interest Waiver" is obtained.
THIRD PREFERENCE Includes:
Professionals with bachelor's degrees
Skilled workers filing positions requiring at least two years of training and experience
other workers.
Every category includes skilled professionals.
The classification is based on education/priority/years of exp.
We all have the option to apply for a "better" category, but we choose not to because either we don't have supporting documents or our employer refused to do so.
We should stop infighting and focus on bigger issues at hand.

I was 100% determined in the beginning to attend the rally, but could not for the following reasons.
1> I was in Dallas and family in SoCal for last 9 months(from Dec 2006 to be precise). I used to meet my family every other weekend. Was trying very hard to find a project in Socal, and finally I got one where joining date was Spet 13th. I could not dare to ask for leave in the very first week. To tell you the truth it took so long b'cos of H1 status, everybody wants me to transfer my H1 or they are looking only for GC/EAD holders. Hoping to get EAD soon.
2> My husband was planning to attend but somewhere in Aug last week we got FP notices and date is Sept 18th. The FP letter clearly mentioned that postponing might cause delays so we decided that he also has to drop the idea.
Of course we contributed towards the rally.
I am very proud to be part of such excellent grass root organization and now since I am in Irvine I can be active in Socal chapter.
Also we are eager to join in the next rally and have total faith in IV leadership.

I recently applied under 0213. I agree process is not as complicated as it sounds also I am not sure what value add a lawyer will do apart from keying information from you in the forms. My suggestion - do it on your own. Use this forum Skilled Worker / Professional Immigration (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)

We should not waste our time and money on this. I also would like to understand the lobbying impact of IV. After hearing tech lobby brought CA governor into picture and even that does not make any difference in favor of tech companies, are we making any impact with 200-300 thousand lobbying and some web faxes?
There is no question about IV effort. But the question I have is impact of that effort.
I am not sure why we are still behind this bill and wasting our money and resources,
everyone here needs to realize we don't need to sweeping legislative reform to address our concern, all we need few guidelines to impliment current law in more sensible way,
we simply don't have resources/strenght to address this issue letz not fool ourself anymore and letz put our moeny where mouth is

Congress is enacting law. White House is just approving the bill into law. Any way White House is positive in our issue. What we need today is to have attention of congress. Member of Congress are scared with citizens and media. We need at Capitol, if we have to.
I believe, this will create big impact on media and members of congress.
Can we organize a hunger strike in front of CAPITOL HILL ,just for one day ?
IV can co-ordinate the event. It will give BIG media attention in DC. It will open the eyes of American people !
