I've had some pilot training, so I'll chip in.
All commercial planes have advanced information of a thunderstorm way before it arrives. Most of the airlines/pilots take a detour to avoid it. That increase expense (extra fuel cost/arrival delay, passenger compensation, delay in subsequent flights, etc.). So, the chepo airlines will take a shot at simply going through it. Risk for a big modern plane is very very small but non-zero. An airline making a decision based on costs instead of ethics will pressurize captains to go through such storms.
The lesson is simple: avoid AF. You'll have to be an idiot to fly it or a cheap airlines like that.
Its a terrible tragedy when lives are lost. My heart goes out to the innocent victims and their family and friends.
Air France is conveniently blaming it on bad weather but I don't buy it...planes fly just fine in bad weather...at least well maintained planes. While their incompetency at customer service clearly shows, they are probably sub standard in maintenance and safety issues as well. Too bad innocent lives have to pay a price to bring that out.
Another reason not to fly Air France.

I agree , especially if it fits majority of them ( and the 'types' of them ).
One needs real diversity in US population. There are too many here from EU.
It's really meaningless for you to keep talking about "too many here from EU". This country is formed by those people from EU(and American Indians) to start with. If you were here two hundred years ago, you were part of them, no one will ask you for GC. Those people who came to this land two hundred years ago and their descendants are now recognized as Americans. They are no longer English, German, French, Italian...etc. They are Americans and this is their country which is called United State of America.
When this country starts the immigration law, does the law say only people from Asia is limited to 7% and not for people from EU ?
If this country today has no limitation with immigration and welcome anyone to come and stay forever at any time. This country will not be a great country anymore and I am sure many of you will not care to come to this land anymore but seek for another place.

If you get an MBA from Sloan or Wharton or Harvard or Berkeley, nothing like it. I know of few people who have not done very well after getting MBAs from these schools. If you want to continue writing comp. programs, then of course there is no need for it. But how many people want to do it forever?
But I agree with Tito to some extent. Especially, if the degree is from even a slightly lower ranked school like Arizona or Northwestern, the returns are not there, and there is a great deal of evidence in that direction.
Having actually studied this data (and being in the business of teaching) gives me some perspective.
But it's still just my 2 cents.

The problem of contacting media with "stories" is that you don't want people who are just hanging by a thread; just trying to stay in status and having all sorts of hardship because they want to stay. It feeds into the fact that there are a lot of people here which the country doesn't need. Discussing layoffs or threats of layoffs or employer abusing, etc., feeds into the perception from an outside person that there are too many people here not doing specialized work that an American is not able to do.
In fact this is a very valid point ..... We should be careful about what kind of stories we diseminate into media .... If we are just giving stories in which people apperear to be grovelling to stay on at whatever cost is not good for us as I think...

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. part of the reason is that IV is originally indian club. we got the message but kind of lack the close organization.
anyway, I am also thinking about another rally.
1, it has to be on weekends, so everyone can come
2. it should be in multiple cities, from coast to coast, all major cities.
DC. NYC, chicago, LA, SF, houston, boston. reserach triangle, seattle etc, where professional immigrants lives most.
3. we need to make sure everyone will come, need good personal organization, not just voluntarily, we need personal contact, conversation, meetings ahead, level by level, to build a good "relationship" with each other.
yes, this is the hard part.
4. we really need to study the illegal immigrant rally last time, how successful they were !!!!
5. honestly, we didn't get much media coverage. shame ! nothing on TV, newspaper frontpage. but--- if we have a huge rally, everyone will have to cover us, pay attention to us. it all depends on us.
Love you guys
we should hurry up

Ok the bill is on THOMAS.
Here's the link to the bill
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d109:23:./temp/~bd2vNO::|/bss/d109query.html|
It's already been referred to the House Judiciary. Since it had to do with Competitiveness i'd rather much rather see it in the House Energy and Commerce or House Science Committee. Despite all their talk of 'welcoming legals, and pro-immigrant, anti-illegal immigrant" pronouncements, they haven't done much to help legals in the Judiciary Committee.
logiclife: thanks for setting up the webfax. Appreciate all the work you guys are doing.
Btw, in the senate skil bill (s 2691) i see a new co-sponsor added, TX Sen Hutchinson. Can you set up the Webfax in a way that we can email our Senators/Congressmen to request they co-sponsor their chamber's respective versions of this legislation? Thank1

Simple and yet we have not acted purposefully. I have a strong feeling that this visa grab is still going on. HLG has sent out another immigration alert to all registered emails, similar to one posted on Feb 9, 2007. . And I quote a bit
FEBRUARY 12, 2007
ADVOCACY ALERT:
RETROGRESSION: WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
.......
Stopping this 'unused visa grab' for only one section of retrogressed and demanding it for all retrogressed is a sure WIN for us, if it happens; if it is stopped, it will make a tectonic shift the focus to the whole gamut of issues of retrogression, backlogs etc and will put more pressure on Congress to act.
I have seen and read all the posts in this thread started by me. I appreciate all points and posts, particularly by core team.
The least we can do is write and fax to Congress and demand. The IV team should set up a fax, so that each of us here can protest these moves by Congress without considering other severely backlogged applications. For this I propose a simple message.
Sir/Madam:
We are severely affected by retrogression and lack of visa numbers. Many of us, high skilled workers are waiting since 2001 for our Priority Date to become current.
We understand, as openly trumpeted by Hammond Law Group (reference: a post by HLG on Friday, February 09, 2007 at http://hammondlawgroup.blogspot.com/ and an email sent out by HLG on Monday, February 12, 2007) that the 110th Congress is considering allocating 90,000 unused visas from EB3 category EXCLUSIVELY for Sch. A workers. They had been given relief of 50,000 unused visas once in 2005.
We protest such a biased action. We had tried to reach many members of the house and senate and presented the above issue to them. Still our issues have not been resolved. We demand relief at equal footing. Do not appropriate all unused visas to one single category of affected workers.
Next one/two days are crucial. Let's make a difference.
Note:
1) In the above, I am trying to be focused, addressing one issue at a time. Backlogs, Slowness, Finger Prints are also other genuine issues. Let us stop the greedy stealing by HLG and their ilk.
2) If for whatever reason IV will not come up with a web fax, a few of us must act individually and let the congressmen and senators know of our protest. I had faxed to a few Congressmen and Senators, from the fax machine at my workplace. Believe me, these types of protests have worked in the past.

When I got laid off, my lawyer at the time told me that technically you are out of status as soon as you leave payroll. There was no such thing as a "grace period". I was advised to change my visa status to B2 (I think it was that) with immediate effect, if I could not find a new job within 2 weeks to complete an H1B "transfer". It isn't exactly a transfer of the visa, but what you would do normally when you are changing employers whilst on H1 B. I was told that the "maintaining status" was verified by payroll dates, so within the 2 weeks (I was paid bi-monthly) would be safest

Just imagine this, you spend 6 months training an international grad, spend $5000 - $7000 per H1B and after 1 - 2 yrs, you will have to start all over again. After a couple of months, the "new hire" will just be angry at you (just look at all the people on this forum who curse bodyshoppers - and just to clarify - I am not implying that the company you start will be a bodyshopping firm) and he will quit your company and join someone else. And you will have to start the process all over again. The guy who you hired on H1B will be now join someone else and depending on your business, you will be left high and dry.
I know this because the very first job I joined, the philosophy at the company was to hire fresh grads (the "get them cheap" works for American Grads too). My boss used to tell me "we can get two for the price of one". The year I got hired, the company recruited 15 new grads (a new "Product Development" dept. was being started) - and I was the only H1B. After 14 months, when the business started picking up, the company did not even bother to raise our pay or even recogonize us. Guess what happened? Over a period of 2 months, 12 of us quit for better jobs. Guess who now had to look for 12 people and at the sametime deliver the product to the clients on time?
If I understand your argument then you can conclude that: faster EB GC processing will decrease wage supression.
However, Kim Berry (in One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm)) is saying that faster EB GC procesing will increase wage supression.
Please rephrase the above and blog it at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm). Thanks!

Remember that these numbers are first categorized and then assigned to applicants on a per country basis. In other words, a visa number if it is EB2, should be assigned to EB2 (no matter what) before it goes to EB3. If it is EB1 visa number and for it to become a EB2 visa number, there should not be any need for that number in EB1 category.
Nixstor,
A lot of people argue that these categories are not defined as hard and fast percentages, but that rather the definition of EB-1 already includes spill-over from EB-4/5, EB-2 includes spill-over from EB-1, etc., and that 202(a)(5)(A) actually refers to already spilled-over categories (i.e. the place where they talk about the total number of visas).
I guess this point as to how exactly spillover happens is very moot, and the law is quite open to interpretation. They should have really defined this more clearly with the AC21 amendment, rather than have people waste their time with lawsuits and stuff like that.

I hear some people saying childish things like hijacking this thread if anybody says anything different from what they say. What do you prefer, should I open another thread with title "oppose prefiling AOS", nobody wins neither will I or you when somebody does that. Please tolerate others views then they will tolerate yours.
Without strengthening AC21 if you allow everyone to file AOS then anti eb folks like Grassley, Sanders, Sessions, Durbin will move from targeting H1b to targeting EAD. It takes 6 months to get Perm approval, with pre filing AOS everyone can get EAD in 6 months, anti eb folks and USCIS know that people will be jumping to EAD to escape H1 crackdown, what do you think they will do, they will add amendments and Bills to put restrictions on hiring EAD just like they put restrictions on hiring H1b. We cannot make EAD into another H1b like hell.
Prefiling should be done to give relief to people who missed July fiasco only after
1. Remove\dilute same similar job requirement
2. Make sure EAD is extended without any rfe. USCIS will invent thousand things to issue rfe, EAD should be in a different league to h1 and it should not turn into another h1 where you are slapped with rfe left right and center. Example Pay stub rfe, ability to pay rfe, customer Purchase order RFE etc etc etc, Green card holders don’t have any problem working in these same jobs so why should EAD people face this nonsense (otherwise it is just like h1). Before people complain this will become like a green card, lets me answer in advance, if a person from ROW can get his green card within 12 months of coming to US, why cannot people from India\china who have worked in US for the last 5 to 10 years get the above mentioned relief on EAD. EAD should be superior to h1.the only restriction should be you should work in the same field, i.e. if your labor certification is for Software engineer, programmer analyst etc , then you work in a software related job and cannot become a greeter in walmart :-)
Without strengthening EAD\AC21 with the above mentioned items you are turning EAD into just another h1.If we push for prefiling AOS without strengthening Ac21 it is a big disadvantage and slap on the face for all the people with older priority date. Because of July fiasco when everybody got current and filed for AOS, USCIS issued GC to people from 2006 leaving behind people from 2003, 04 and 05. USCIS should have gradually moved the dates from 2003 to 04 to 05 that way people with older PD would have got it first. With prefiling AOS it will become a lottery like in August 2008 where 2006 PD got GC over 03,04 and 05 in eb2. Safeguards have to be put in place for order of priority date otherwise USCIS will indulge in this lottery mode and excuse there behavior by claiming they did this to save visa wastage.
