Evans and his team are standing in front of the St. Regis Hotel, preparing for their day of meetings with Chinese finance officials. <br /> <br /> Small but meaningful gifts in Tiffany's signature baby-blue boxes? Check. Briefing books with the pronunciation of everyone's names? Check. Black Audi A6s to whisk the group to the meetings? Check. <br /> <br /> Evans was in town representing the Financial Services Forum, which is made up of chief executives of 20 multinational banks. His goal was to convince Chinese regulators that opening their financial sector to more foreign investment would be good for China's economy. <br /> <br /> Armies of lobbyists are descending on the Chinese capital in anticipation of the 17th Communist Party Congress beginning in mid-October. The gathering will choose a new generation of leaders, setting the political agenda for the next five years. <br /> <br /> But the dark-suited Western lobbyists are an odd spectacle given that in China, policy and legislative decisions are still made behind closed doors. Lobbying exists in a gray area; because there are no laws specifically pertaining to it, it isn't even supposed to exist. <br /> <br /> Nevertheless, some of Washington's marquee lobbying firms -- including Jones Day, Hogan & Hartson, DLA Piper and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld -- have set up offices in China. Officially, they are just investment advisory and communications firms. Chinese companies mostly work through government-affiliated industry associations, although some have also hired Western-style lobbying firms. <br /> <br /> In June, foreign companies successfully lobbied Chinese officials to remove conditions on hiring temporary workers in a new labor law that they said would make it prohibitively expensive to do business in China. Likewise in August, they were able persuade China to remove some language in early drafts of the anti-monopoly law that seemed to discriminate against foreign companies, according to Chinese and foreign academics. <br /> <br /> The Chinese government has said it took input from domestic and foreign interests into account but has not been specific. <br /> <br /> Foreign companies are interested in what happens in China, as its economy is becoming the world's third-largest as well as a capitalist instead of planned one. There's concern that the legal framework for business that China's legislators are writing today could affect the fate of multinational businesses for decades. <br /> <br /> Evans said that the degree to which Chinese officials are interested in hearing foreign perspectives on business issues has increased dramatically. In the past, he said, he would go into government meetings and recite a set of bullet points, and the meeting would end. These days, he said, there's real discussion and debate. <br /> <br /> "They are very proactive in wanting to engage and share with the business community," Evans said. <br /> <br /> Scott Kennedy, director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business at Indiana University and author of "The Business of Lobbying in China," said that as recently as a few years ago foreign companies would grumble that they heard about new policies only after they were announced. <br /> <br /> "That is increasingly no longer the case. Today, even if they don't agree with the final result, they know it's on the horizon," Kennedy said. <br /> <br /> But China's laws have been slow to respond to the influx of lobbyists seeking to take advantage of the closer ties. Zhao Kejin, an associate professor at Shanghai's Fudan University who studies government-business relations and has written a book on lobbying in China, argues that because lobbyists do not need to register or file disclosure forms, the system is vulnerable to abuse. <br /> <br /> "There is lots of lobbying money flowing to individual officials' pockets," Zhao said. In addition to straight-up bribery, some lobbying firms keep friends of high-placed officials on the payroll or pay for officials to take luxury "training" trips abroad. <br /> <br /> In 2004, Lucent Technologies fired four executives who were part of its Chinese operations for violating the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribing foreign government officials and politicians. Last November, a U.S. software maker, Fidelity National Information Services, was accused of paying for luxury vacations for Chinese banking officials and their families in places such as Rome and Las Vegas. Fidelity has denied the charges. <br /> <br /> Lobbying is not only less of an institution in China than it is in the United States, but the people being lobbied are different. <br /> <br /> For instance, Murray King, head of the Shanghai office of APCO Worldwide, one of the oldest government relations firms operating in China, said that Chinese academics are among the key players that companies should reach out to. The most important members of that group are those who work with the think tanks affiliated with various state ministries, because they play an important role in the drafting of legislation. <br /> <br /> Another crucial part of high-profile lobbying efforts are "guanxi brokers," well-connected individuals who can give introductions to important officials, or "rainmakers," people who are so famous that many Chinese officials might be happy to meet and shake hands. <br /> <br /> "Because China is a country that respects authority, former politicians of the United States, when they come to China, can always play a very important role," said Steven Dong, a Tsinghua University public relations professor who studies the reputations of corporations. <br /> <br /> A former U.S. official will almost always be greeted by a Chinese official of the same rank, Dong said. <br /> <br /> Former officials with star power in China include Henry Kissinger, probably the most sought-after because of the role he played in establishing diplomatic relations with the Communist Party during the Nixon administration. Former Federal Communications Commission chairman Reed Hundt, who routinely visits China on behalf of Silicon Valley companies to talk about opening up China's Internet and telecommunications sector, is also a regular in the halls of Chinese ministries. Gary Locke, a former governor of Washington whose consulting firm represents Microsoft and Starbucks, is celebrated for being the first Chinese American governor and is so well known that school girls run up to him to take his picture. <br /> <br /> Evans, who was commerce secretary from 2001 to 2004, has been working for the Financial Services Forum since 2005. This was his second trip to China on behalf of the group. <br /> <br /> Evans was received by the Chinese government this month with all the pomp and circumstance of a state visit. <br /> <br /> His schedule, which included all key financial ministries and regulators, was almost identical to that of Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. during his visit in July. Evans even had a private diner with Vice Premier Wu Yi. <br /> <br /> There was lobbying on both sides. <br /> <br /> Jiang Jianqing, chairman of the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, a rank similar to that of minister, pummeled Evans with questions about the subprime lending crisis and trade protectionism in Congress. ICBC has recently been ranked the second- or third-largest bank in the world by market capitalization. <br /> <br /> Evans said the Chinese must make sure that U.S. legislators understand they are open to foreign investment. He said it's important for the Chinese to make sure the U.S. government understands "your view as an important trader, to make sure they understand your commitment to moving your economy toward an ultimate market economy." <br /> <br /> The total foreign ownership in a Chinese bank cannot exceed 25 percent. But even as Evans began to lay out his case for why China should raise or do away with foreign ownership caps for banking, securities and insurance firms, Jiang took the opportunity to point out his frustration that his bank's application to open a single branch in the United States has not been approved, while U.S. banks, including some that Evans represents, already have significant operations in China. <br /> <br /> Evans said he'd be happy to look into the holdup. <br /> <br /> Near the end of the one-hour meeting, the two turned to a less-tense topic: the development of China's countryside. Evans talked about his visits to western China, where he met two blind brothers with whom he has kept in touch, and how much their lives had changed over the years. Jiang said he, too, was concerned about bridging the gap between the rich and the poor in China. <br /> <br /> The two men smiled and shook hands. That was considered progress.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper We told you about Minx Nails <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QnqiRAzSw5k/Sp2ru0tDZhI/AAAAAAAABDg/0VuTirH1tm0/s400/minxkimkardashian.jpg" alt="minx nails nyc. of her Minx nails amp; since" title="of her Minx nails amp; since" width="470" <br><li>of her Minx nails amp; since</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">unitednations</div><div class="date">03-26 04:26 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">That is precisely why smaller companies choose to revoke the 140 when an employee leaves them while the 485 is still pending.<br /> <br /> It isn't always to "get back" at the employee.<br /> <br /> That being said, UN, I would love to hear your thoughts on this situation,<br /> <br /> Person leaves employer X (140 approved, more than 180 days since 485 filing, etc.) and joins employer Y on EAD (under AC21). <br /> <br /> Employer X revokes 140 so as to not run into any issues like you pointed out. Nothing personal against the employee, just business.<br /> <br /> That person after a while decides to go back to employer X (485 is still pending) under AC21. <br /> <br /> Does the USCIS look at that as okay to do? Or do they question the employer's intentions since the employer had earlier revoked the 140.<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance for sharing your opinion on this.<br /> <br /> I know that many people don't like it when their companies revoke I-140. They are not under any legal obligation to do so once the 140 is approved.<br /> <br /> However; to protect all the people who are still there then they should revoke the 140 for people who have left so there is less burden to prove ability to pay in case uscis adds up all cases together. I work on a lot of these cases and they are pretty complicated to solve.<br /> <br /> There was a case which we termed "baltimore" (mainly because it was decided by baltimore local office); essentially AAO said that a person can use ac21 within the same company (ie., for another job, another work location, etc.). That opened the door which some smart ass employers started to exploit. If one of their employees was eligible for ac21 they justified it by revoking 140 (even though person is still workin with them) and doing labor substitution for another candidate by thinking that first person is protected and i can use it for second person. <br /> <br /> From a purety point of view; in your scenario since there is no labor substitution then it shouldn't be a problem; however, in pre labor substitution days if you went back to work for the company in ac21 and they used the labor for someone else then it would pose some challenges.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5301/5736965405_f852dc0ba8.jpg" alt="minx nails nyc. minx nails dc.

I said to myself I wouldn't buy a house until I get my GC. That was until a builder offered me a nice offer. I was renting a two bedroom apartment for $1200 as I have a family with 3 small kids. <br /> <br /> The builder offered me a 2,600 sq. ft., 4 bed-room home at $1450 per month, including taxes and insurance, fixed for 30 years. I guessed that the $250 difference from rent is nothing compared to the benefit of owning a home.

Tell me what proof you have that ALL consulting companies are complying with H-1B requriements.<br /> <br /> Is benching that happens in consulting legal? Is paying salary according to prevailing wages in Maine and sending the contractor to work in Manhattan legal? Please tell me how these practises by desi consulting firms are legal.<br /> <br /> And you're telling me I am ignorant! You're funny :D<br /> <br /> I am sorry, I am not a very knowledgeable person in immigration matters like many of you, but when it comes to finger pointing, we have to show all consulting companies and why only DESI companies are getting into this discussion. I know friends who worked for IBM & KPMG on H1b travels to all states for short term contracts. What about those biggies? They are also desi firms?<br /> <br /> How did you come to US in the first place? if not thru a consulting company ( I know F1 is another option) either thru big companies like TCS, Wipro or Infy or through desi consulting firms. Pls do not forget the fact that USCIS changed their stand now and saying that it is not legal to work else where other than employer location. If they implement that rule from start then this mess wouldn't happen.<br /> <br /> Now, we are in trouble and so stop finger pointing and give any good advise if you can.<br /> <br /> FYI..I am an FTE and I came to us thru a multinational firm and never worked for a desi consulting cmpny.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://wednesday.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://beautyhill.com/img/arts/2011/Apr/22/896/382011_alexander_mcqueen_with_minx_nails_photo_by_becky_maynes_3_large_thumb.jpg" alt="minx nails nyc.

That is what it is most commonly used for, thus causing a serious disadvantage to EB2 filers (who did not port).<br /> <br /> "Employment Preference Categories" have very real legal groundings, and i intend to challenge the porting rule based on those facts.<br /> <br /> If someone is unsatisfied with their EB3 application, they are more than welcome to start a fresh EB2 or EB1 application process, rather than try the porting subterfuge.<br /> <br /> I hope i have made my point clear? Thanks.<br /> <br /> <br /> I originally filed in EB2 but yet I do not support this idea. I think EB3 people if possible should deserve a chance to file in EB2 if they are eligible. Also porting helps you (original EB2 guys) in another way. Suppose for some stupid reason, you have to restart your GC process, wouldn't you want to be able to port your earlier PD?

This makes restrictions on Consulting companies, so what Clients won't be able to find people, so they do hire people as full time instead of temporary consulting position. That is good for us we can find more full time positions from client it self. I even heard that this bill makes sure H1B are paid by market rates instead of DOL wages which are often very less than market value. Good thing for us the staring salaries would be at higher rate than present rates. This bill is bad for consulting companies but good for us.

Naturally, the editors thought he would be giving a retrospective view of seven years of object-oriented design, using the language he created. By the end of the interview, the interviewer got more than he had bargained for and, subsequently, the editor decided to suppress its contents, 'for the good of the industry' but, as with many of these things, there was a leak. Here is a complete transcript of what was was said, unedited, and unrehearsed, so it isn't as neat as planned interviews. You will find it interesting...<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Well, it's been a few years since you changed the world of software design, how does it feel, looking back?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Actually, I was thinking about those days, just before you arrived. Do you remember? Everyone was writing 'C' and, the trouble was, they were pretty damn good at it. Universities got pretty good at teaching it, too. They were turning out competent - I stress the word 'competent' - graduates at a phenomenal rate. That's what caused the problem.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Problem?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Yes, problem. Remember when everyone wrote Cobol?<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Of course, I did too<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Well, in the beginning, these guys were like demi-gods. Their salaries were high, and they were treated like royalty.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Those were the days, eh?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Right. So what happened? IBM got sick of it, and invested millions in training programmers, till they were a dime a dozen.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: That's why I got out. Salaries dropped within a year, to the point where being a journalist actually paid better.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Exactly. Well, the same happened with 'C' programmers.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: I see, but what's the point?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Well, one day, when I was sitting in my office, I thought of this little scheme, which would redress the balance a little. I thought 'I wonder what would happen, if there were a language so complicated, so difficult to learn, that nobody would ever be able to swamp the market with programmers? Actually, I got some of the ideas from X10, you know, X windows. That was such a bitch of a graphics system, that it only just ran on those Sun 3/60 things. They had all the ingredients for what I wanted. A really ridiculously complex syntax, obscure functions, and pseudo-OO structure. Even now, nobody writes raw X-windows code. Motif is the only way to go if you want to retain your sanity.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: You're kidding...?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Not a bit of it. In fact, there was another problem. Unix was written in 'C', which meant that any 'C' programmer could very easily become a systems programmer. Remember what a mainframe systems programmer used to earn?<br /> <br /> Interviewer: You bet I do, that's what I used to do.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: OK, so this new language had to divorce itself from Unix, by hiding all the system calls that bound the two together so nicely. This would enable guys who only knew about DOS to earn a decent living too.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: I don't believe you said that...<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Well, it's been long enough, now, and I believe most people have figured out for themselves that C++ is a waste of time but, I must say, it's taken them a lot longer than I thought it would.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: So how exactly did you do it?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: It was only supposed to be a joke, I never thought people would take the book seriously. Anyone with half a brain can see that object-oriented programming is counter-intuitive, illogical and inefficient.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: What?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: And as for 're-useable code' - when did you ever hear of a company re-using its code?<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Well, never, actually, but...<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: There you are then. Mind you, a few tried, in the early days. There was this Oregon company - Mentor Graphics, I think they were called - really caught a cold trying to rewrite everything in C++ in about '90 or '91. I felt sorry for them really, but I thought people would learn from their mistakes.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Obviously, they didn't?<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Not in the slightest. Trouble is, most companies hush-up all their major blunders, and explaining a $30 million loss to the shareholders would have been difficult. Give them their due, though, they made it work in the end.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: They did? Well, there you are then, it proves O-O works.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Well, almost. The executable was so huge, it took five minutes to load, on an HP workstation, with 128MB of RAM. Then it ran like treacle. Actually, I thought this would be a major stumbling-block, and I'd get found out within a week, but nobody cared. Sun and HP were only too glad to sell enormously powerful boxes, with huge resources just to run trivial programs. You know, when we had our first C++ compiler, at AT&T, I compiled 'Hello World', and couldn't believe the size of the executable. 2.1MB<br /> <br /> Interviewer: What? Well, compilers have come a long way, since then.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: They have? Try it on the latest version of g++ - you won't get much change out of half a megabyte. Also, there are several quite recent examples for you, from all over the world. British Telecom had a major disaster on their hands but, luckily, managed to scrap the whole thing and start again. They were luckier than Australian Telecom. Now I hear that Siemens is building a dinosaur, and getting more and more worried as the size of the hardware gets bigger, to accommodate the executables. Isn't multiple inheritance a joy?<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Yes, but C++ is basically a sound language.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: You really believe that, don't you? Have you ever sat down and worked on a C++ project? Here's what happens: First, I've put in enough pitfalls to make sure that only the most trivial projects will work first time. Take operator overloading. At the end of the project, almost every module has it, usually, because guys feel they really should do it, as it was in their training course. The same operator then means something totally different in every module. Try pulling that lot together, when you have a hundred or so modules. And as for data hiding. God, I sometimes can't help laughing when I hear about the problems companies have making their modules talk to each other. I think the word 'synergistic' was specially invented to twist the knife in a project manager's ribs.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: I have to say, I'm beginning to be quite appalled at all this. You say you did it to raise programmers' salaries? That's obscene.<br /> <br /> Stroustrup: Not really. Everyone has a choice. I didn't expect the thing to get so much out of hand. Anyway, I basically succeeded. C++ is dying off now, but programmers still get high salaries - especially those poor devils who have to maintain all this crap. You do realise, it's impossible to maintain a large C++ software module if you didn't actually write it?</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">03-05 09:08 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Some paras from Slowing Down The Revolving Door (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/04/AR2007030401201.html)<br /> <br /> A House committee has approved legislation that would lengthen employment restrictions for federal procurement officials who take certain jobs when they leave government, from one year to two years. It also would prohibit newly hired procurement officials from awarding contracts to their former employers for two years.<br /> <br /> Tightening employment restrictions will bring more accountability to government, contends Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Recent lobbying and procurement scandals are proof that something needs to be done, he points out.<br /> <br /> Congress has been trying to regulate the revolving door -- the rotation of federal officials and business executives into and out of government -- since at least 1872, according to the Congressional Research Service.<br /> <br /> Over the decades, Congress has sought to protect the government from former employees who took sensitive information with them and used it to promote the interests of a private party. Congress also has devised rules to discourage federal employees from cashing in on their inside knowledge or becoming snarled in conflicts of interest with companies doing business with the government.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">NKR</div><div class="date">03-25 02:13 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">If you have found a nice house in a good locality and have got a good deal, and if you think that not having GC is the ONLY hurdle, then I suggest you to go ahead and buy the house. <br /> <br /> I am on H1, I could not afford an independent house because of layers I have at work, so about 2 years ago, I went ahead and bought a town-home.

Does that make sense to you?" Later on the same show, he declared, "Corporate America and U.S. multinationals are shipping jobs for only one reason, not for greater productivity, not for efficiencies, those are purely code words for cheaper labor costs."<br /> <br /> <br /> Dobbs even asks viewers to send him the names of companies that outsource. He then posts the list (scroll down) on his CNN website, under the heading, "These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers."<br /> <br /> <br /> "The results of this issue are crucial to the kind of country we live in," Dobbs told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in April.<br /> <br /> <br /> But there comes a time when Dobbs takes off his anti-outsourcing hat. That's when he switches from financial journalist to investment advisor-for-hire, peddling a monthly newsletter containing his investment recommendations. Pony up $398 and you receive Dobbs' investment tips for two years. You'll recognize some of the companies that Dobbs recommends. That's because they're on his list of firms that are "exporting America" by shutting down U.S. operations and opening overseas facilities.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Lou Dobbs Money Letter is published by Phillips International Inc., which is associated with Eagle Publishing, a leading publisher of conservative-themed books. In each issue, Dobbs singles out one favored company, in which he encourages subscribers to invest. He conducts an invariably softball interview with the firm's CEO, which allows both Dobbs and his guest to tout the company's prospects.<br /> <br /> <br /> Unlike most investment advisors, Dobbs goes beyond talking up the earning potential of these companies. He typically goes out of his way to praise them as good corporate citizens. The newsletter keeps a running tally of the companies profiled, under the heading, "The following companies have been featured in the Lou Dobbs Money Letter as those 'doing good business with good people.'" The appeal is alluring: You're not just buying a smart investment choice, you're buying a piece of good citizenship.<br /> <br /> <br /> Dobbs devoted a column in the March issue to touting the prospects of the Minnesota-based Toro Company, which makes outdoor landscaping-maintenance equipment. He told subscribers that Toro was a "long-term wealth-builder," and praised Toro's "formal code of ethics, something I think is sorely needed at more of America's companies," and its "...exemplary corporate governance structure, which aligns the interests of shareholders, employees, and customers." He concluded his interview with Toro CEO Kendrick Melrose by frankly telling him, "I like the way you treat your shareholders, employees, and customers."<br /> <br /> <br /> One wonders whether Dobbs' admiration extends to Toro's 2002 decision to move 15% of its workforce -- about 800 jobs -- to Juarez, Mexico. Indeed, CEO Kendrick Melrose might be interested to know that Toro appears on Dobbs' own list of companies that are "exporting America."<br /> <br /> <br /> And Toro is not alone. Of the 14 companies Dobbs has highlighted for investors since starting his newsletter last year, eight appear on his CNN website as companies that outsource jobs.<br /> <br /> <br /> Greenpoint Financial is another company that's received conflicting treatment from Dobbs. CEO Tom Johnson enjoyed the Dobbs interview treatment in June 2003. Dobbs promised readers, "I think you'll find Tom's comments and the way he runs his business thought-provoking and insightful."<br /> <br /> <br /> Apparently one of the "thought-provoking and insightful" methods that Dobbs was referring to was not the 2002 decision by Greenpoint to export much of its mortgage and customer-service operations to Bangalore, India, a move that produced significant savings, but that cost 150 U.S. workers their jobs. Greenpoint Mortgage, a subsidiary of Greenpoint Financial, appears on Dobbs' list of outsourcers.<br /> <br /> <br /> When Dobbs features a company in his newsletter, he tends to stand by them, no matter what information subsequently comes to light. In December 2003, Boeing CEO Phil Condit was forced to resign amidst an ethics scandal. Dobbs had interviewed Condit for the newsletter back in June, and wrote at the time: "Boeing ranks Number 35 on Fortune's list of most admired companies. I think Phil has a lot to do with that."<br /> <br /> <br /> After Condit's resignation, Dobbs ran a "Special Boeing Update" in the December edition of the newsletter, in which he told subscribers: "In the face of adversity, the company is being up-front and honest abut its problems...Boeing has just proven that its priorities are in the right place."<br /> <br /> <br /> But according to the Communications Workers of America (CWA), Boeing has sent 5000 U.S. jobs overseas in recent years. And Dobbs' assurances that Boeing's priorities are in the right place don't seem to square with his inclusion of the company on the "exporting America" list.<br /> <br /> <br /> Similarly, in November 2003, Dobbs called Bank One chief Jamie Dimon "a conscientious CEO," who "runs a tight ship with solid corporate values."<br /> <br /> <br /> Late last year, Bank One announced plans to merge with JP Morgan-Chase and Co., which has a reputation for shipping jobs overseas. In another special update, Dobbs reassured his readers that, "[Dimon's] ability to orchestrate this merger and have it viewed as a positive move by investors...is a testament to the fact that Jamie did it for all the right reasons. As a numbers guy, Jamie knows what works and what doesn't. And I'm confident he's going to do some remarkable work in the coming months."<br /> <br /> <br /> Again, Dobbs neglected to tell readers that Bank One is on his "exporting America" list. According to a company spokesman, Bank One has outsourced two to three hundred jobs -- mostly in software development -- to India in the last few years.<br /> <br /> <br /> The list goes on. In May 2003 Dobbs talked up Washington Mutual to investors. According to the CWA, the banking services giant has sent 30 jobs overseas. Washington Mutual appears on Dobbs' CNN list of outsourcers.<br /> <br /> <br /> In August 2003, Dobbs promoted Office Depot, telling investors that, "[T]he company and CEO Bruce Nelson believe strongly in making Office Depot a 'compelling place to work, shop, and invest.'" Sure enough, Office Depot is on Dobb's list of companies that are "outsourcing America."</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://content.nordstrom.com/imagegallery/store/product/large/8/_6434228.jpg" alt="Name Pendant Necklace.

Whether this is done using open air-strikes or via covert operations is a matter best decided by our defence think tank.<br /> <br /> If India chooses not to react at all today, there will be another terrorist bombing tomorrow. One day, we will be forced to react, we cannot escape from the realities. <br /> <br /> Pakistan is a big joke anyways without an industrial backbone, living off aids and dancing like a puppet to its American master because aid always comes with strings attached to it.<br /> China has surpassed everyone, India has created a place but Pakis are far behind. <br /> But that is not the reason a thread like this is alive or threads like these keep cropping up, we don't want to worry about Pakistan, we just want to foil the next terrorist attack.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 Pendant Necklace $ 68.00 <img src="http://www.necklacego.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/0cfd4b6f75b5ca4c5de2d39e5a676fb2/20110216/gb_img/Crystal%2520Apple%2520Pendant%2520Necklace%25201999%2520001.jpg" alt="Name Pendant Necklace.

EB3 is unhappy not because of their own retrogression but because someone else is happy being current.<br /> <br /> The reason is not justified. EB3 should be unhappy for its own retrogression and not because someone else in EB2 is current. I see a lot of EB3India guys waking up now to the reality and protesting just because EB2 is getting greencads. This approach is wrong. Where were all of you all these months when IV was asking letters for admin fixes? A lot of us were busy enjoying our EADs and suddenly everyone is woken up. Where were all these guys when visa bulletin came every month and dates did not move?<br /> <br /> I would support an action item for us EB3 folks only when it is based on the genuine reasons of EB retrogression. If it is based on the reason of EB2 getting greencards and EB3 not getting greencards, it is a wrong immature reason and USCIS or any authority capable of decision making will not like it.<br /> <br /> EAD cannot give a solution.We knew that from day 1 .EB3 is unhappy because we havnt got any movement.Will any EB2 here support our cause.I am seeing forums where they have alreday started tracking their LUD's.Fine...Human mentality is when they are out of the problem nobody will turn back.Just becoz we are making fuss out of here there are one or two getting ready to point on us that we are unhappy.How do you expect us to be happy?<br /> <br /> How long we have to wait?<br /> <br /> 3 solid years I was waiting for my 45 day letter then it took 6 months to get my labor approval.atleast if it had moved same like EB2 we can again sit and watch the show.<br /> <br /> Fine ,even I feel , this EB2 movement if taken as a possitive movement ,I can expect EB3 ROW to be current by Oct 2008.When they interpret the spillover will that help EB3 single state to move.<br /> Sometimes I do feel this has been done to fail the bills and break the team effort by IV-see how we are questioning ourselves-right? but will any Eb2 care for us-its our mistake to apply in EB3 and beleiving the old tradition.<br /> <br /> How many of us are there since 2001 nov.any answer.How long can we wait?its impossible.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://laboulemania.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />house Name Pendant Necklace <img src="http://cdn3.iofferphoto.com/img/item/199/681/580/bvlgari-pendant-necklace-gold-e24dc.jpg" alt="Name Pendant Necklace.

I have a question though.. The example you have given suits my scenario so well. I am planning to buy a house (310k ) very soon. The loan offers I have from my lender has interest rates pretty much the same for both 10% down payment and 20% down payment, 5.0 with 20% and 5.25 with 10% down payment. I can down pay 10% right away and the other 10% is also available in a risk free(can withdraw without penalty) cd which yield me a return of 3.5% . So which is better for me 10% or 20% down pay. thanks in advance.<br /> <br /> As for buying or renting..it is more of a personal choice - to me, buying a house has tangible benefits over renting.. like a sense of entitlement to call some place ur true home and most likely a good enviroment for raising the kids. Life has phases like education, marriage, kids, job, etc..Now that I am into my 30's, I would like to see <br /> what it feels like to have owned a home.<br /> <br /> If I were you..I would go with the 10% down payment option. Your monthly payment would not increase much and you would have more cash safe in CD for life events.<br /> <br /> Consider the rent you are currently paying and make a choice...buying a home should not burden you with more than 10-20% of you current rent payment. In my case I am more conservative and going with a mortgage < my current rent payment.<br /> <br /> If it helps, here are my details:<br /> <br /> Condo cost: 300K<br /> Down payment: 5% - 15K<br /> Using fed stimulus: 8K towards down payment<br /> Total payment: 7K+closing costs<br /> <br /> Current rent: $2200<br /> Mortgage: ~$1500-1600<br /> Price trend in the past 5yrs: down <20% from peak prices<br /> <br /> Estimate living time: 2yrs min<br /> <br /> Even if house value drops after 2yrs by 10%, the tax savings, equity, happiness would compensate more than enough for it...<br /> <br /> I agree everyone's situation is different, but please do not make the mistake of taking a huge burden of payment if you are buying. Always buy within/below your means...</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses of Dream Pendant Necklace <img src="http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/287996212/PERSONALIZED-NAME-PLATE-NECKLACE-CHAIN-jewelry-crystal.jpg" alt="Name Pendant Necklace. beads necklace pendant" title="beads necklace pendant" width="470" <br><li>beads necklace pendant</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">07-31 05:00 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">No Recess For K Street: (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_14/vested/19584-1.html) Lobbyists Plan Outreach Efforts In Districts, on Campaign Trail By Kate Ackley, ROLL CALL STAFF<br /> <br /> The countdown to the August recess has entered its final stretch with just one week to go. But for Washington, D.C., lobbying organizations, the steamy month of Congressional downtime means a lot more than slipping out of town to sip pi�a coladas on the beach.<br /> <br /> It's an opportunity to contact Members back home in their districts and to mobilize constituents with issue ads and special events. The break also gives lobbyists a chance to set up along the campaign trail to push their agendas with presidential candidates in ocean-free zones such as Des Moines, Iowa.<br /> <br /> Usual suspects AARP, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America plan to hit the road in August along with some grass-roots newcomers, including ONE, the organization founded by rock star Bono.<br /> <br /> "August is a critical month," said James Fuller, a managing director at Public Strategies Inc., which is working to shape patent legislation for the Coalition for 21st Century Patent Reform. "When Members go home they hear about all these types of issues. Now's the time when they take notice." <br /> <br /> Fuller's coalition plans to organize in-district meetings, letter and e-mail writing campaigns, and efforts to get its allies to be vocal participants at Members' town hall meetings. Fuller said all of this is intended to help lay the groundwork for upcoming action in September on patent reform bills in the House and Senate. Targets of the coalition's August lobbying efforts, he said, include Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Edward Kennedy (Mass.), among others. "We're going to be very aggressive in August, reaching out to companies in states we know we need," he added.<br /> <br /> Bono's ONE campaign also is planning a major effort in August, said the group's Kimberly Cadena, asking its 2.5 million supporters to speak with their Members when it comes to the farm bill and other items.<br /> <br /> "ONE will kick off the August recess with a grass-roots legislative briefing on the evening of August 2," Cadena said. Over the recess, ONE members, sans Bono, will be lobbying for the Education for All and U.S. Commitment to Global Child Survival bills, she added.<br /> <br /> Divided We Fail - a health care-focused effort sponsored by the AARP, Service Employees International Union and Business Roundtable - plans to hit the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 10 to make sure presidential contenders hear their views.<br /> <br /> And Bill Miller, vice president and political director with the Chamber of Commerce, said his group dispatches lobbyists on the road during every Congressional recess.<br /> <br /> "We decided this year to put an increased focus on doing those visits to Congressional districts and states where lots of our issues are in play and Congressional districts that are also politically in play," Miller said, adding that fundraisers also are a component of the chamber's August outreach to Members.<br /> <br /> Miller's team will focus on restarting the free-trade agenda, the stalled efforts on immigration reform and stymying union efforts in Congress including the card-check bill. "Whether you're a union company or mid-sized, little guy or not, the passage and enactment of something like this would have severe consequences for the United States economy," he said.<br /> <br /> On the other side of the political spectrum, the liberal group Campaign for America's Future is planning a barrage of targeted ads, direct mail and local press events.<br /> <br /> "The Campaign for America's Future plans to take the gloves off this recess to ensure that Americans are clear on who is pushing for change and who is standing in the way," said Toby Chaudhuri, the group's communications director. "The conservative minority has chosen a strategy of blocking legislation at a record pace in the Senate. We're going to expose the obstruction."<br /> <br /> The private equity crowd, which is working to fend off proposals to increase taxes on the industry, is planning to continue making its case during the recess, said Robert Stewart, the Private Equity Council's vice president of public affairs. "It makes much more sense for the country, for the economic growth of the country, not to single out private equity for punitive tax treatment," he said.<br /> <br /> America's Health Insurance Plans - which went on the air last week with ads defending the Medicare Advantage program that is on the chopping block to help pay for the State Children's Health Insurance Program - is planning to run more ads in targeted districts, depending on how this week's SCHIP debate turns out. AHIP will be working closely with seniors who use Medicare Advantage through the Coalition for Medicare Choices, said AHIP spokesman Mohit Ghose.<br /> <br /> "We are going to ensure that every Member of Congress understands what the impending cuts being proposed in the House mean for their constituents," Ghose said. The 400,000 volunteer members of the coalition, he added, "will go to town hall meetings and interact at the district office."<br /> <br /> Also on the health care front, PhRMA plans to fuel up its Partnership for Prescription Assistance bus, which will roll into several Members' districts over August, including those of Reps. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), Gene Green (D-Texas) and Tim Murphy (R-Pa.). The PPA is a pharmaceutical company program that helps pay for medicine for low-income people. PhRMA Senior Vice President Ken Johnson said the bus already has done 13 events but plans to ramp up the tour in August.<br /> <br /> "August is important for us because it's the one time a year when most Members are back home in their districts," he said. "During August, we have the opportunity to hold a significant number of events."</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://tokyo2005.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup Pendant Necklace Item No: <img src="http://www.jewellerys.biz/products-images/silver-pendant/wroclaw-silver-earring-set-cubic-pendants-zirconia-gemstone-teardrop.jpg" alt="Name Pendant Necklace.

So far, the majority of the vote is "against" rather than "for". I myself am not a big fan of the proposal becauses it deminishes efforts put in by legal immigrats like ourselves but regardless consider it necessary for us to support as it currently is the only bill alive including retrogression relief along with amnesty. <br /> <br /> Media generates publicity by twisting a small fraction of reality. Imagine what Lou would say if he gets a unanimous vote against amnesty. I am sure he will make the best of it to promote negativism towards any relief efforts regardless of it being amnesty or retrogression relief.

I was very angry with what happened in Mumbai. The desire to fix the wrong has not faded, but now that I look back, I regret some of the things I said at that time. My comments did not do any good and some of the coments offend few others on this forum. Those who felt offended by my comments are just as entitled to these forums as I am. I am not trying to be politically correct, just trying to say that it doesn't serves any purpose to discuss this issue on IV fourms.<br /> <br /> Branding all people from a specific faith doesn't help in anyways. For too long men have fought because of religion and each such time was avoidable.<br /> <br /> I do have a suggestion.

I was not trying to connect the ARM reset schedule with write-offs at wall street firms. Instead, I was trying to point out that there will be increased number of foreclosures as those ARMs reset over the next 36 months.<br /> <br /> The next phase of the logic is: increased foreclosures will lead to increased inventory, which leads to lower prices, which leads to still more foreclosures and "walk aways" (people -citizens- who just dont want to pay the high mortgages any more since it is way cheaper to rent). This leads to still lower prices. Prices will likely stabilize when it is cheaper to buy vs. rent. Right now that calculus is inverted. In many bubble areas (both coasts, at a minimum) you would pay significantly more to buy than to rent (2X or more per month with a conventional mortgage in some good areas).<br /> <br /> On the whole, I will debate only on financial and rational points. I am not going to question someone's emotional position on "homeownership." It is too complicated to extract someone out of their strongly held beliefs about how it is better to pay your own mortgage than someone elses, etc. All that is hubris that is ingrained from 5+ years of abnormally strong rising prices.<br /> <br /> Let us say that you have two kids, age 2 and 5. The 5 year old is entering kindergarten next fall. You decide to buy in a good school district this year. Since your main decision was based on school choice, let us say that your investment horizon is 16 years (the year your 2 year old will finish high school at age 18).<br /> <br /> Let us further assume that you will buy a house at the price of $600,000 in Bergen County, with 20% down ($120,000) this summer. The terms of the loan are 30 year fixed, 5.75% APR. This loan payment alone is $2800 per month. On top of that you will be paying at least 1.5% of value in property taxes, around $9,000 per year, or around $750 per month. Insurance will cost you around $1500 - $2000 per year, or another $150 or so per month. So your total committed payments will be around $3,700 per month.<br /> <br /> You will pay for yard work (unless you are a do-it-yourself-er), and maintenance, and through the nose for utilities because a big house costs big to heat and cool. (Summers are OK, but desis want their houses warm enough in the winter for a lungi or veshti:))<br /> <br /> Let us assume further that in Bergen county, you can rent something bigger and more comfortable than your 1200 sq ft apartment from a private party for around $2000. So your rental cost to house payment ratio is around 1.8X (3700/2000).<br /> <br /> Let us say further that the market drops 30% conservatively (will likely be more), from today through bottom in 4 years. Your $600k house will be worth 30% less, i.e. $420,000. Your loan will still be worth around $450k. If you needed to sell at this point in time, with 6% selling cost, you will need to bring cash to closing as a seller i.e., you are screwed. At escrow, you will need to pay off the loan of $450k, and pay 6% closing costs, which means you need to bring $450k+$25k-$420k = $55,000 to closing.<br /> <br /> So you stand to lose:<br /> <br /> 1. Your down payment of $120k<br /> 2. Your cash at closing if you sell in 4 years: $55k<br /> 3. Rental differential: 48 months X (3700 - 2000) = $81k<br /> <br /> Total potential loss: $250,000!!!<br /> <br /> This is not a "nightmare scenario" but a very real one. It is happenning right now in many parts of the country, and is just now hitting the more populated areas of the two coasts. There is still more to come.<br /> <br /> My 2 cents for you guys, desi bhais, please do what you need to do, but keep your eyes open. This time the downturn is very different from the business-investment related downturn that followed the dot com bust earlier this decade.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper 2011 Princess Letizia of Spain <img src="http://s11.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/a/4/a4im2b11fb96f192.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain. princess letizia of spain bio." title="princess letizia of spain bio." width="470" <br><li>princess letizia of spain bio.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">GCappli</div><div class="date">11-11 12:52 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Hey its too late to reply but is there any update on this one ..Did the employer revoke his h1b ..

By your suggestions if USCIS is deeming most h1b companies as 'Staffing' companies(and if it allows them to exist) then almost all H1 LCA should contain 4-5 states in which the H1B could work? How would prevailing wage calculation be done in that case? Or for that matter if each time an H1B candidate goes to work in a different location and the employer(staffing) company files 'Amend petition for location' does the prevailing wage factor come in to picture?<br /> <br /> your advise in this could help some people who are in consulting so that they can insist with their employers to file for 'amend' in case they are working elsewhere.<br /> <br /> - cheers<br /> kris<br /> <br /> <br /> First; it is very easy for me or anyone else to say "amend" and re-file the h-1b. It costs a lot of money to do so and USCIS can give rfe and deny any one of the amendments.<br /> <br /> If you look at the new i-129 petition instructions they have added a part of requesting an itinerary of definitive employment if you are an agent. You are supposed to give an itinerar of where you are going to work for the entire duration that you are requesting. You are supposed to give lca's for different locations for wherever you have the client letters.<br /> <br /> California service center is only approving h-1b's up until the end date of the purchse order you are submitting. If you have a purchase order for four months even if it says extension is possible; then are only approving it for four months.<br /> <br /> With regards to prevailing wage; On the h-1b petition you would always have to put the highest number of all the lca's that you are submitting.<br /> <br /> for example in the lca; if you are putting two locations; one is where your h-1b company is and second one is where your client locatin is where you are actually going to work; the lca won' be certified unless you put the offered wage to be the higher of the two.<br /> <br /> btw; I get too many PM's and I'd rather just post on the forums where I think people need some help or where I don't see people giving right or full picture advice.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.8bitsoft.net/Referers.html">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01392/letizia_bruni3_1392540c.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain.

For e.g. with a Republican win, the chances of "collateral damage" (deaths of innocent abroad) increase tremendously. I do not want that to be funded through my tax money. Neither do i want my child to read about "creationism" in school (despite paying for all that private school fees!).

They are returning home to countries like India and China. It�s not just the people we are denying visas to who are leaving; even U.S. permanent residents and naturalized citizens are going to where they think the grass is greener. As a result, India and China are experiencing an entrepreneurship boom. And they are learning to innovate just as Silicon Valley does.<br /> <br /> Some call this a �brain drain� others say it is �brain circulation.� It is without doubt, good for these countries and it is good for the world. But this is America�s loss: innovation that would otherwise be happening here is going abroad. Without realizing it, we are exporting our prosperity and strengthening our competitors.<br /> <br /> There are no hard data available on how many skilled immigrants have already left the U.S. My estimate is that 150,000 have returned to India and China, each, over the past two decades. The trend has accelerated dramatically over the past five years; tens of thousands are now returning home every year. Most authorities agree with these estimates. For example, the Chinese Ministry of Education estimates that the number of overseas Chinese who returned to China in 2009 having received a foreign education reached 108,000: a sharp increase of 56.2% over the previous year. In 2010, this number reached an all-time high of 134,800 (a significant proportion studied in the U.S.).<br /> <br /> Why is this important? Because, as research conducted by my team at Duke, UC-Berkeley, Harvard, and New York University has shown, 52.4% of all startups in Silicon Valley, from 1995 to 2005, were founded by immigrants. With all these immigrants leaving, and the next generation of foreign-born entrepreneurs trapped in �immigration limbo,� we won�t have as many immigrant founded startups in the future. The xenophobes who are lobbying against skilled immigration will cheer; but there won�t be more jobs for Americans; just less startups in the U.S. and more abroad. The U.S. pie will be smaller.<br /> <br /> My team researched the backgrounds of immigrant founders, and the U.S. immigration backlog. We learned that the majority came to the U.S. as students; 74% held graduate or post graduate degrees, of which 75% were in science, engineering, technology, or mathematics. On average, immigrants started their ventures 13 years after entering the U.S.<br /> <br /> During the last twenty years, we admitted record numbers of international students and highly educated foreign workers on temporary visas. But we never expanded the number of permanent resident visas that allow them to stay permanently. The result is that we have a backlog of more than one million skilled workers�doctors, scientists, researchers, and engineers, who are trapped in immigration limbo. They are working for the same companies and doing the same jobs as when they filed their paperwork for gaining permanent residence; this may have been 10-15 years ago. A foreign student who graduates with a masters or PhD in engineering from Duke or Stanford and joins the queue today will have to wait 10-20 years, perhaps longer, to gain permanent residence. They can�t start companies or progress their careers during the most productive period in their lives. Why would anyone put up with that?<br /> <br /> Indeed, a survey we conducted of 1,224 foreign nationals who were studying at U.S. universities in 2009, or who had just graduated, revealed that they believed that the U.S. was no longer the destination of choice for professional careers. Most did not want to stay for very long. Fifty eight percent of Indian, 54% of Chinese, and 40% of European students said that they would stay in the U.S. for at least a few years after graduation if given the chance, but only 6% of Indian, 10% of Chinese, and 15% of European students said they want to stay permanently. The largest group of respondents� 55% of Indian, 40% of Chinese, and 30% of European students�wanted to return home within five years. This is very different than what used to be the norm in previous decades: the vast majority of Indians and Chinese stayed permanently.<br /> <br /> Our surveys, in 2008, of 1,203 Indian and Chinese immigrants who had worked in or received their education in the U.S. and returned to their home countries revealed that although restrictive immigration policies had caused some returnees to depart, the most significant factors in the decision to return home were career opportunities, family ties, and quality of life. The move home also served as a career catalyst. For example, only 10% of the Indian returnees held senior management positions in the U.S., but 44% found jobs at this level in India. Chinese returnees went from 9% in senior management in the U.S. to 36% in China. The vast majority thought that quality of life, professional advancement, and family ties were at least as good at home as in the U.S.<br /> <br /> The majority of the people we surveyed said they planned to start a business within five years. When we published our research, many experts said that this is where returnees would face the greatest frustration�that the weak infrastructure in India; authoritarianism in China; and corruption and red tape and lack of funding in both countries would be a severe handicap. In other words, when it came to competition from startups in India and China, the U.S. had nothing to worry about.<br /> <br /> So, last September, we initiated a project to learn how the entrepreneurship landscape in India and China compares to the U.S. We wanted to learn why these entrepreneurs returned, what their perceptions of the entrepreneurial climate in their home countries were, what the advantages and disadvantages of working in India and China were over working in the U.S., and what types of ties they maintained to the U.S.<br /> <br /> We were really surprised at what we learned. In the next installment, I�ll discuss our findings.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Standing Up for Guest Workers (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/02/opinion/02mon3.html) New York Times Editorial</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot Princess Letizia of Spain <img src="http://nimg.sulekha.com/science/thumbnailfull/prince-felipe-princess-letizia-2009-10-23-9-12-46.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain. princess letizia of spain" title="princess letizia of spain" width="470" <br><li>princess letizia of spain</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">12-30 06:41 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">India vs. China in 2010 (http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2010/12/30/india-vs-china-in-2010/) By Tripti Lahiri | IndiaRealTime<br /> <br /> Economists and western political leaders love to compare India and China, and it�s an understandably irresistible comparison: They�re both rising Asian economies with more than a billion people, and neighbors to boot.<br /> <br /> On India Real Time we�ve done a little of that ourselves from time to time.<br /> <br /> If you�re pressed for time we can sum it up like this: China has more of everything (except poor people.) If you�re not, here are five blogs that stacked India and China up against each other on different indicators in the past year.<br /> <br /> Warren Buffett: The billionaire from Omaha so far has appeared to be leaning a bit more towards China, at least in terms of investments. Mr. Buffett�s company, Berkshire Hathaway Co., holds a sizeable stake in Chinese battery and auto-maker BYD Co. And Mr. Buffett visited in September, along with Bill Gates, hoping to convince Chinese billionaires to give away more of their wealth to charity. The love is returned, with a Chinese man having paid a record $2.1 million to have a one-on-one lunch with the investing wizard.<br /> <br /> Mr. Buffett has said that he�d like to invest in India but his plans have been stymied by caps on foreign holdings in insurance.<br /> <br /> However, India can at least look forward to hosting him in the new year. The billionaire announced at a shareholders� meeting this year, in response to a question from a young Indian-American, that he plans to visit India in 2011, perhaps in March.<br /> <br /> The big-ticket event: India hosted the Commonwealth Games in October, China hosted the Asian Games in November. Of course, China�s already hosted the Olympics�and how�so it hardly seems fair to compare the two.<br /> <br /> But we did anyway. The news coverage of the Indian Games was rife with words like �delays,� �corruption,� �shambles� (we�re pretty sure that was the British press) and �filthy� until the opening night extravaganza quelled criticism for a bit.<br /> <br /> China, it appeared, had lovely, shiny venues ready to go about five months ahead of the event, so it could spend the final days flicking away little specks of dust from its Games merchandise.<br /> <br /> Their middle classes: According to a report on Asia�s middle classes this year, India still has about 650 million people living on under $2 dollars a day measured in 2005 purchasing parity dollars.<br /> <br /> China now has less than 100 million living on that amount. Yet there was a time, as recently as the 1990s, when the two countries had similar numbers of poor. China has just done a better job of lifting people from that bracket into the middle class, and not just onto the next rung �the $2 to $4 range, where a majority of India�s middle class folks fall.<br /> <br /> The majority of Chinese now fall in the �mid middle class� category that can spend $5 to $10, a group whose numbers appear to have quadrupled between 1995 and 2007.<br /> <br /> But don�t blame the slower rate of reduction in poverty on India�s political system, says John Lee of the Sydney-based think-tank Center for Independent Studies.<br /> <br /> The economy, stupid: China is still a much bigger economy than India, even though the two countries have roughly similar numbers of people. At a Hindustan Times conference on India, Shashi Ruia, chairman of Essar Group, compared the two countries on steel production, car production and trade.<br /> <br /> As we already said, China does more of everything. The gap is undoubtedly glaring on roads, electricity production, trains and other infrastructure.<br /> <br /> Surfing: India�s and China�s online populations belong to different worlds, judging by their Google searches. India appears to be firmly embedded in the English-speaking western world, looking for products like Nokia and applications like Facebook, Yahoo! and YouTube, although when it comes to films, it�s all Bollywood. China seemed to be the reverse�relying largely on Chinese applications but much more likely to seek out Hollywood films. They did have this much in common though: outr� pop star Lady Gaga.<br /> <br /> <br /> India and China in 2010 (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203525404576050850667532420.html) IndiaRealTime</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.skepdic.gr/stats/Referrers.htm">more...</a><br><br /><br />house Princess Letizia of Spain <img src="http://www.morgenpost.de/multimedia/archive/00589/100301_Letizia6BMO__589294b.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain.

Birnbaum | Washington Post, August 14, 2007<br /> <br /> Activists on the reform side of the lobbying debate have been celebrating that Congress finally got around to passing an ethics bill. The question is: Should voters celebrate as well?<br /> <br /> Paul A. Miller, a former president of the American League of Lobbyists, thinks the hoorahs should be muted, and he has a point. The legislation bars lobbyists from providing meals and gifts to lawmakers, a provision long sought by the advocates of change as a way to keep well-heeled interests from buying their way into the hearts of decision-makers.<br /> <br /> But Miller and others point out that the ban is full of loopholes. The largest of the gaps, Miller said, could end up worsening the public's perception that lawmakers are for sale.<br /> <br /> If lobbyists are prevented from buying meals for lawmakers for lobbying purposes, he noted, lobbyists will almost certainly make up for the loss by boosting the number of meals they buy lawmakers as part of campaign fundraising events.<br /> <br /> And believe it or not, they will be perfectly able to do so. Lobbying laws are separate from campaign finance laws, and the new ban on meals and gifts applies only to lobbying laws. That means the legislation does not rein in fundraising events, so lobbyists and their clients will still be able to buy food and entertainment for lawmakers at those events.<br /> <br /> Hence the following perversity: Lobbyists will not be able to pick up the check for members of Congress unless they also hand the lawmakers a check to help their reelections.<br /> <br /> "Lobbyists will move lunches and dinners to the campaign side of things," Miller predicts. "They will increasingly get members of Congress for an hour or so to give them a campaign check; that's a better deal for the lobbyists and will also make it more likely for corruption to happen."<br /> <br /> Jan W. Baran, the campaign finance expert at the law firm Wiley Rein, finds it hard to imagine that lawmakers can schedule more fundraisers than they already do. But he does think there will continue to be plenty of lobbyist-financed partying thanks to the nearly two dozen exceptions to the meal-and-gift ban.<br /> <br /> Baran said that members of Congress will be able to accept invitations from lobbyists to events that are widely attended, including receptions and charity golf tournaments. Lobbyists will also still be allowed to underwrite visits by lawmakers if they have some official or ceremonial role. Members of Congress generally cannot accept tickets to sporting events from lobbyists. But they can be comped to a baseball game if they throw out the first pitch, to a football game if they toss the opening coin or to a NASCAR race if they wave the checkered flag. That's nice work if you can get it, and you can bet there'll be a lot more of it available soon.<br /> <br /> Interest groups are also expressing concern about another feature of the legislation. The provision would require more disclosure by organizations about who is paying for and actively participating in the lobbying activities of coalitions and trade groups. At the moment, most of that information is proprietary and protected by Supreme Court decisions that shield the members of many kinds of groups. Organizations are worried that they might, for the first time, have to disclose who their top members are.<br /> <br /> But they probably need not worry. Ways are always found to get around laws like this one. "The balloon will be pressed, and the air will come out another way," said Kenneth A. Gross, a lawyer at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://orlango.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />pictures Spain#39;s Princess Letizia and <img src="http://www2.pictures.fp.zimbio.com/Prince%2BAsturias%2BAward%2BPrizewinners%2BGathering%2B5qzr5gO5tU_l.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain.

Its about time most of us here understand not to take immigration rules lightly, and I've been preaching this for the longest time already!<br /> <br /> People here had their own justification about "consulting". Well, this is what they get for exploiting loopholes.<br /> <br /> Dear Sledge_hammer,<br /> <br /> Dont just hammer around. The people who are doing consulting is not doing it out of their choice. It is the economy it forced some of us into consulting (fulltime to the company we work for but work for a client). In 2001, when we came out of school and tech bubble burst, there was no fulltime jobs, we were forced to do consulting. Some of my freinds who graduated in 2000 got into microsoft, oracle, cisco who didnt had damn good GPA. The guys who had 4.0 GPA and graduated a semester later didnt get those offers, coz bubble burst by that time. <br /> <br /> I am forced to tell you that the guys who are doing fulltime jobs working in same technology and same companies and doing same thing everyday are by no means smarter than the consultants who work in different industries, different technologies and enjoy their work. I would challenge the guys to come out and find a job faster than a consultant with same amount of experience. <br /> <br /> Luck By Chance doesnt give them a right to cry foul on consultants everyday....I am really sorry if i hurt anybodys feelings. I was forced by some of our fellow members. You have lot of other things to talk about. Dont blame consultants for your misery. If you are destined to suffer, you will suffer one or other way.<br /> <br /> I would advice all FTE's to be prepared for unexpected twists and turns in bad economy.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses princess letizia of spain <img src="http://www.celebritywomenandmodels.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/8171f_princess-letizia-alnap-2008-2-nc.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain.

If you want a zero risk investment you can get at least 3% (sometimes more than 5%) with ING direct, HSBC direct, and many more direct saving accounts. Last year HSBC offered 6% to compete with ING's 5%, while on the other side house prices were nose diving. <br /> <br /> So my point is even at 3%, zero risk it's a good deal compared with gambling on a house that may never come back to original purchase price, in our life time. <br /> <br /> Remember, this is not a one time event. This crisis has changed the world for ever. There will never ever be banks giving loans for more than 3 or 4 times income. So for prices to come back again, you are really banking on disposal income levels going up, which is not a safe bet, with the Indias and Chinas of the world proving very competitive offshore services. <br /> <br /> This whole chaos was created in the first place by inflating the economy to find a solution to the dot com bust.<br /> <br /> Again, we are not recommending against buying a house, which everyone should do at a point in our lives, but it's unsafe to bank on it, as a sound investment.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />girlfriend Princess Letizia of Spain <img src="http://www4.pictures.fp.zimbio.com/Prince%2BAsturias%2BAward%2BPrizewinners%2BGathering%2BjTSmnORxhHgl.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) and the other firmly focused on the Environment and Public Works Committee, Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D) is taking in increasing campaign contributions from industrial sectors and their unions with business before her panel.<br /> <br /> Boxer � who vaulted from a rank-and-file role on the committee to chairwoman following the 2006 elections and the retirement of then-ranking member Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.) � has long had a contentious relationship with industry. According to aides, she continues to maintain a ban on accepting political action committee contributions from a number of sectors, including oil and gas companies.<br /> <br /> Rose Kapolczynski, Boxer�s longtime campaign consultant, said Boxer has not changed her campaign fundraising strategy as a result of taking control of EPW and that she expects no major increases in contributions from industry once the cycle is completed.<br /> <br /> �I�d be surprised if there�s a major difference in the amount ... there may [just] be a difference in timing� of contributions by industry PACs, Kapolczynski said.<br /> <br /> Kapolczynski also said that in addition to maintaining her long-standing policy of not taking PAC dollars from the oil and gas industry and its top-level executives, Boxer�s rise to power has had no impact on her policy positions. �Anyone who�s followed Barbara Boxer�s career over the years understands there is one thing you can count on � you know where she stands on the issues. And whether she�s in the minority or the chairman, that�s not going to change.�<br /> <br /> But while environmentalists and other allies agree they have seen no significant sign that her long-standing commitment to their cause has waned with her ascension to power, Boxer has recorded what appears to be a significant uptick in funding from industries traditionally hostile to her philosophical positions.<br /> <br /> An analysis of campaign contributions this year through Aug. 30 showed that Boxer has taken in $41,000 from political action committees connected to the energy, natural resources, construction and transportation industries.<br /> <br /> According to CQ MoneyLine, the energy and natural resources sector so far this year ranks as Boxer�s second-largest source of PAC contributions, clocking in at $20,500.<br /> <br /> Labor unions, which have donated $57,650 to her campaign this year, rank as her top source of PAC dollars, and $21,500 of those funds come from unions connected to industries with business before the committee.<br /> <br /> Compared to the 2004 fundraising cycle � the last one in which Boxer was actively raising campaign funds, according to an aide � Boxer appears to be pulling significantly more cash from these sectors now than she was then. For instance, Boxer�s campaign reported $18,500 in total receipts from the energy and natural resources sector in all of 2003 and 2004, according to CQ MoneyLine, while the transportation sector donated $35,450, for a two-year total of $53,950 from these industries.<br /> <br /> While partisan fighting has largely stalled much of her environmental agenda this year � for instance, it appears unlikely that an ambitious climate change bill will be passed � the EPW Committee has successfully moved legislation key to industry.<br /> <br /> For example, Boxer successfully pushed through the Water Resources Development Act reauthorization bill this year. WRDA has long been a top priority for the construction and shipping industries, among others, since it provides billions in federal funding for public works projects such as levy construction and ship channel dredging. This year�s bill, which was vetoed by President Bush last month, included $20 billion in new federal spending.<br /> <br /> Similarly, Boxer�s committee is expected to pass a �technical corrections� bill making changes to the 2005 transportation authorization bill. The corrections measure, in addition to making modifications to the original law with millions of dollars for transportation firms across the country, also includes tens of millions in new spending, including a �mag-lev� railway project connecting the coast of California to Las Vegas.<br /> <br /> While lobbyists representing industries with business before Boxer�s committee declined to comment for this article, lobbyists and Democratic campaign strategists have noted a realignment now under way in Washington thanks to the 2006 elections that in many ways mirrors Boxer�s financial relationship with industry.<br /> <br /> For more than a decade, energy, natural resource and transportation industries and their PACs have tended to favor Republicans, who held control of Congress from 1994 through 2006, both in terms of spending and in whom they chose as lobbyists. But in the wake of the 2006 elections and the sudden ascendancy of Democrats to power in both chambers, those alliances have begun to shift.<br /> <br /> While Boxer has not shown any signs that her reliably progressive and pro-environmental positions are changing as a result of this new dynamic, one public interest advocate, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Boxer and other Democrats clearly have begun reaping the benefits of power. �It�s good to be queen,� this source said.<br /> <br /> Democratic Senate aides said the veteran lawmaker is in the early stage of gearing up for her 2010 re-election fight, which could include a high-profile � and prohibitively expensive � showdown with Schwarzenegger, and that the increases in her fundraising are a reflection of that reality.<br /> <br /> Kapolczynski acknowledged the specter of a Schwarzenegger run but noted that any statewide race in California is a costly affair and nothing should be read into her donation increases other than the fact that she is prepping for her next re-election campaign. As a result, �she needs to prepare for a really tough race,� she said.<br /> <br /> Although state GOP sources said it appears unlikely at this point Schwarzenegger will make a run for the Senate, one Republican strategist noted the governor is infamous for holding his plans close to the vest until the last moment.<br /> <br /> �This is a guy who didn�t tell hardly anyone he was going to run for governor until he did,� the strategist noted. �He likes surprise and likes the theatrics of it all. He will keep everyone guessing till bitter end, I think. [But] everything I�ve seen so far is focused on being governor.�</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hairstyles Princess Letizia of Spain, <img src="http://media17.onsugar.com/files/2011/06/22/4/1707/17070627/55/Princess_252BLetizia.jpg" alt="princess letizia spain. princess letizia of spain bio." title="princess letizia of spain bio." width="470" <br><li>princess letizia of spain bio.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">punjabi</div><div class="date">08-08 06:41 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Oh, I loved this joke!!!!!<br /> <br /> :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D<br /> HERE COMES THE BEST JOKE OF THIS THREAD<br /> <br /> I got a RED dot for this post.<br /> <br /> Comment - "Racist Joke".</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">sugaur</div><div class="date">01-06 11:51 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">For all who think "Fatah" is more moderate than Hamas, heres a part of the constitution of Fatah:<br /> <br /> Goals<br /> <br /> Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence. <br /> <br /> <br /> Article (13) Establishing an independent democratic state with complete sovereignty on all Palestinian lands, and Jerusalem is its capital city, and protecting the citizens' legal and equal rights without any racial or religious discrimination. <br /> <br /> "Eradication" of the Jewish state., their culture and there economy.

Obama has already said CIR would be his priority for his first year. Dick Durbin and Obama will "reform" the EB system exactly the way you described below. In 2008 we have seen some eb friendly bills introduced by lofgren like visa recapture and exemption for STEM. Once Obama becomes president(which is almost a certainty) he will outsource the EB issues to Dick Durbin and he will make sure none of the EB friendly issues like visa recapture and exemption for STEM will happen. In addition obama and durbin will make our lives miserable with draconian restrictions on EB. We are alreday seeing USCIS denying AC21 485 (there is a seperate thread on this). If situation is like this now just imagine how horrible it would be with Obama and durbin.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Why do I feel discouraged? If anything is going to happen for the immigrant community when Sen. Obama becomes the President, it is going to be in the lines of CIR 2007. There would be provisions to make illegal immigrants as legal and remove backlogs to family based quota whereas posing harsh restrictions on H1b visas and reducing Green Card quotas and scrap AC21 portability and try to experiment with some new kind of skilled immigration system.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/29lbrdt.jpg" alt="charisma carpenter angel.

Abrabs imposed their language, where ever they conquer. They cut the tongue of people, who spoke native language. See in India, moguls made Urdu and make Arabic script for it.Egyptian christians are only real egyptians. Muslim egyptians are mixed people with Arab warriors.

Go to a coptic chrch and see these people. <br /> Same happened in Kashmir. Pandits are the real Kashmiris. The Kashmiri muslims are children of the Kashmiri women and arab invaders. Now they kicking real Indian pandits out from kashmir, and they live in own country as refugees.<br /> In the end all terrorist, satanic nations wiped out at the second coming of Jesus.

Time Value of money (Wiki Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money)).<br /> 2. Cash Flow (Wiki Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_flow))<br /> 3. Risk, not the english term - but the quantifiable aspects of it (Wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk))<br /> 4. Leverage (Wiki Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leverage_(finance)))<br /> <br /> I have worked on many of these concepts for > 2 years at work (I am a techie - but have also worked as a BA and part time quant for some time). I still personally find it very difficult to intuitively understand many of those concepts.<br /> <br /> A proper conclusion of whether buying is better or renting is would involve each and every one of these concepts - and a lot of assumptions (what will be rate of inflation, how will the home prices behave etc). Since there would be so many assumptions - I doubt it will be at all possible to arrive at any definitive conclusion. Your best bet would probably be a monte carlo analysis and see which one is more probably the superior one.<br /> <br /> So surprise of surprises - there is no "right answer"!!<br /> <br /> That said - I personally follow the a modified model of "dynamic programming" that my college taught me in the 2nd year of bachelors. You CAN NOT estimate future variables with ANY accuracy. So optimize your present steps based on some cost function.<br /> <br /> Applying that to the present problem - you CAN NOT estimate how the home prices will behave in future or how will the rent be or how will the inflation (or - horror of horrors - deflation) behave. The only thing you can optimize is your cash flow TODAY and the Present Value of any investment you hold. Present value = market value of your equity (even if the price is 40% lower than when you bought). Your "cost function" (maybe we should rename it to "wealth function") that you are trying to optimize is your net worth.<br /> <br /> The result of the "dynamic programming" approach if probably not going to be the most optimal - but it will be the best that I know of. :-)<br /> <br /> Best of luck guys.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://stevenvarga.org/forum/referrers.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.beyondhollywood.com/gallery/stills/charismacarpenter.jpg" alt="charisma carpenter angel.

So, as it stands, these companies will not be able to hire anyone from top business schools. And we are not talking about desi consulting companies here (no pun intended). <br /> <br /> Again, this bill embodies the basic principle that displaces US workers do not want to understand:<br /> "What is good for the economy may not be good for an individual". <br /> <br /> And I say that because I have been myself displaces 2 times in my life, and every time, I have fallen (or stumbled), I have walked an extra mile to get a better life. <br /> <br /> I just feel sorry for people like me and many others who came to this country with a different mindset and now find themselves in the midst of the worst anti-immigrant clime that has existed in a long time.<br /> <br /> That said, I feel obligated to remind everyone - "Do yourself a favor and do everything within your means to make a meaningful change, self-help is the best help you will get"<br /> <br /> - Raj</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot #Charisma Carpenter #David <img src="http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/15700000/Charisma-Carpenter-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-and-Angel-charisma-carpenter-15735652-800-600.jpg" alt="charisma carpenter angel.

As the subject indicates "long" term prospects of buying a home..we of all the ppl should know the meaning of the word "long" based on our "long" wait for PD (which I think should be renamed to retrogress date because I see nothing priority about it)..the point being lets debate 10 years rent vs own..as against 3-4...I think over a 10 year timeline the buyers would come out ahead of the renters..maybe not in CA but in other states that's quite likely..<br /> <br /> I agree that over 10 years buyers "may" come ahead of renters but our question is will buyers of : 2009 come out ahead of 2010 buyers or 2011 buyers? Also is it worth taking a risk and wait 1-2 years given the state of economy and our GC in limbo.<br /> <br /> I have been paying rent since 2001 and my friends bought houses in 2004 & 2007.

I hope India follows up on its tough talk and goes after the perpetrators, no matter their affliation or the consequences. That was a provocation and I would love to see LeT or anyone else responsible to pay for it. <br /> <br /> But It is sad to see 'educated individuals' channeling their anger to demonize muslims who are equally upset with the Mumbai incident. Just like any religion/race, there are extreme elements among muslims. But this guilt-by-association should not have any place in modern society though sadly it does. There have been subtle and some not-so-subtle attempts on IV to protray all muslims as terrorists or all terrorists as muslim. <br /> <br /> I agree that there are a lot of current terrorist activities that can be attributed to muslims and I condemn them. But Indian muslims have stood up against this latest incident. They are asked to wear their allegiance on the sleeve as if they are in some way responsible for this heinous crime. There are numerous examples of non-muslims who are terrorists but in my view that does not render the whole community as such. The gujarat genocide, the attacks on christians in Orissa and other parts are led by the VHP/RSS but the right wing marketing blitz has been so effective, a lot of people have defended this as a reaction. That is exactly the kind of excuse the LeT or any other terrorist organization would make.<br /> <br /> Why is it so hard to say - Lets punish the guilty irrespective of their name or religion. Lets have a transparent Criminal justice system. Lets investigate any crime before guilty verdict is pronounced. That would render ineffective any propaganda that extremists use to recruit new members. Most of the people in this forum live in America and the law of this country would be in my view a good example of punishing the guilty irrespective of who and where they come from.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses Charisma Carpenter from Buffy <img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/6i4lrq.png" alt="charisma carpenter angel.

Just he is opposite to outsourcing that too he may cut some tax benefits for the companies which are outsourcing. That will not have much impact on outsourcing.Basically two candidates are favoring high skilled immigrants. But everything is on the hands of congress.<br /> I am a big supporter of Obama and a big fan and am eagerly looking forward to see him as our next President of United States. As a legal highly skilled immigrant what can I expect? Well, not sure if I would see myself living here anymore. I have been in the green card queue for more than 8 years now and still waiting. Will Obama's administration do anything for people like me to help reduce backlog? I doubt such a thing will ever happen. I would see myself and people like me discouraged and start packing our bags and move on with life.<br /> <br /> Why do I feel discouraged? If anything is going to happen for the immigrant community when Sen. Obama becomes the President, it is going to be in the lines of CIR 2007. There would be provisions to make illegal immigrants as legal and remove backlogs to family based quota whereas posing harsh restrictions on H1b visas and reducing Green Card quotas and scrap AC21 portability and try to experiment with some new kind of skilled immigration system. <br /> <br /> The above is very evident based on the fact that Senator Durbin has been very hostile to EB immigrants. It is evident that Senator Durbin will make the calls when Senator Obama becomes the president.<br /> <br /> Please post your opinions. This is a very important discussion. It is very important that the community see what is in store for us when the new Administration takes charge.<br /> <br /> A lot of folks in the EB community are looking forward to 2009 thinking something will definitely happen. Yes, something will definitely happen - and that may not help us</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://kaffeina.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup charisma carpenter photos. <img src="http://thelastreel2.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/charisma_carpenter_022.jpg" alt="charisma carpenter angel.

I would expect a former anchor of CNN Money to know the basics of US tax laws. Alas, he also knows the average americans who view his show are too lazy to do any research by themselves - all this is a deliberate misinformation campaign to make the middle class angry and believe immigrants are responsible for their perceived decline in standard of living. In the process his ratings are going through the roof, and of course CNN doesn't have a problem with that. What to expect from such a person ? We are lucky he is yet to blame immigrants for the mess in Iraq (he has even blamed them for the mess after hurricane katrina !!!!!). <br /> <br /> this info is for lou dobbs and he can search for this information in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (for all the middle-class that can get free information, most likey coded by an H1B)<br /> <br /> [edit] Taxation status of H-1B workers<br /> H-1B workers are legally required to pay the same taxes as any other US resident, including Social Security and Medicare.[2] Any person who spends more than 183 days in the US in a calendar year is a tax resident and is required to pay US taxes on their worldwide income. From the IRS perspective, it doesn't matter if that income is paid in the US or elsewhere. If an H-1B worker is given a living allowance, it is treated the same by the IRS as any other US resident. In some cases, H-1B workers pay higher taxes than a US citizen because they are not entitled to certain deductions (eg. head of household deduction amongst many others). Some H-1B workers are not eligible to receive any Social Security or Medicare benefits unless they are able to adjust status to that of permanent resident.[3] However, if their country of citizenship has a tax agreement with the United States, they are able to collect the Social Security they've earned even if they don't gain permanent residency there. Such agreements are negotiated between the United States and other countries, typically those which have comparable standards of living and public retirement systems</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper images Jim Parsons wallpaper <img src="http://img.listal.com/image/868461/600full-jim-parsons.jpg" alt="jim parsons makeup. jim parsons wallpaper." title="jim parsons wallpaper." width="470" <br><li>jim parsons wallpaper.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">bfadlia</div><div class="date">01-07 02:16 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Until AD 1100, everybody in Egypt are christians, the arabs conquer there and killed many and convert them.

Abrabs imposed their language, where ever they conquer. They cut the tongue of people, who spoke native language.

So yeah, blame him all you want but any sane politician in his position would do the same. <br /> <br /> Let's consider this for example. Imagine you were in India and you had a few 100,000 decently skilled immigrants from some other country, who were waiting for their green card. Now you are the PM and you have to choose your focus between fighting terrorism, fighting inflation, high budget deficits with healthcare costs, high unemployment rate or giving green cards to these 100,000 people. I would think there would be a lot of pissed off countrymen in India who would scream at you when you are ignoring real issues and focussing instead on giving green cards to foreigners especially when you already have a sky high unemployment rate. Wouldn't be a great political strategy, would it? But maybe you would still do it, perhaps if you have a vested interest in getting it done. <br /> <br /> Still, next year you can bet that he'll do something on immigration since the states have started legislating on their own now and they can't afford this to continue.<br /> <br /> <br /> hahaha If one is a PM of India??? woooooh that will be funny, any PM will ask the permission of Madam the congress president What to do? and whatever uneducated madam says that will be done., dont ever ever dare to compare India and USA. dont compare apple with oranges.<br /> <br /> And the President should never wait for Illegal immigrants to pass Legal Immigration. In USA immigration means it is Legal. not illegal. He is playing politics with every one. Please understand that. The US unemployment on Tech sector is only around 3 % that is not a big issue. They can very well give EB immigrants green card. If you are fascinated or halloweened by The Presidents personality no one can help you. Like in India people blindly worship their party leaders or PM or Madam for that matter.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.amitnimade.com/infusions/referer_panel/all_referer.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/089/5/7/jim_parsons_blue_wallpaper_by_manongg-d3ctkk5.png" alt="jim parsons makeup. jim parsons Bilder. jim" title="jim parsons Bilder. jim" width="470" <br><li>jim parsons Bilder. jim</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">noone2day78</div><div class="date">03-29 10:32 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">If it makes sense financially and suits ur personal needs go for it...</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://wfiles.brothersoft.com/j/j_s/jim_parsons_48329-480x360.jpg" alt="jim parsons makeup. jim parsons Bilder. jim" title="jim parsons Bilder. jim" width="470" <br><li>jim parsons Bilder. jim</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">abracadabra102</div><div class="date">12-27 08:35 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">My comments in green.<br /> I myself am originally from Mumbai so please dont doubt the deep sense of outrage that I feel. But amid all this talk about going to war, here are a few things to ponder<br /> <br /> 1. Think about how long it takes to construct a single runway of an airport. In the developed countries, it takes about 2-3 years, for India safe to say 5-6 years. One of Paki's first responses would be take out entire airports not just runways. Can you imagine how long it would take us to recover<br /> <br /> This is not that easy. India has much larger air force and it is very likely that Pakistani air fields are destroyed before it can destroy all of India's air fields. Yes india will sustain some damage and Pakistan will suffer much greater damage as our air force is at least twice as large, and most of those shiny Pakistani F-16s can't fly for lack of spares.<br /> <br /> 2. Why should India kill Pak when it is killing itself every day. At this rate, just imagine how long this country will last. Sitting back and being a spectator could just about be the best option<br /> <br /> A failed Pakistan state is not in our interest either. A rogue state on our borders is much more dangerous than a stable country. An India victory in an Indo-Pak war is likely to weaken pakistani military control over that country and restore proper democracy in Pakistan<br /> <br /> 3. If we are outraged by 200 civilians/police/NSG dying, do we really have the stomach to absorb 1000s, lakhs ........<br /> <br /> Yes wars are terrible, but look at it this way. If we do nothing, it emboldens the terrorists attacking us. They keep on striking major metros at random and this will create a very unstable environment for investment and we will loose much of the economic momentum we gained the last few years. We will bleed slowly if we just wait and watch. This is the cost of doing nothing and may turn out to be costlier than going to war (provided we win it and it is reasonable to assume India is most certain to win this war).<br /> <br /> 4. Talking of "surgical strikes" - surgical strikes on what? Even the dumbest terrorist knows that its probably not a good idea to be in a terror camp right now.<br /> <br /> I totally agree with you on this.<br /> <br /> 5. Do we really want to unite all those crazy Punjabis, Balochis, Taliban and the Paki army<br /> <br /> They are already working together. I, for one, do not believe all that crap Pakistan has been feeding the world/US that they are fighting Taliban/terrorists/etc. It is all smoke and mirrors to save their skin. This is basically Mush's plan and worked wonderfully so far.<br /> <br /> 6. Ok, what about assassinating Kayani. Wonderful, we have destroyed the last institution in Paki land. Get ready to welcome millions of refugees<br /> <br /> I know I know that I am not coming up with any good course of action, just pointing out the flaws in the rest of them. But thats all my layman's strategic vision gives me. Maybe with just 1/100th the cost of war, we can improve our border/maritime security and also our intelligence apparatus<br /> <br /> We should certainly improve intelligence apparatus and and start covert operations, but that alone may not be enough.<br /> <br /> Personally, I think war is going to happen. I just wish people even remotely understand what it is that they are asking for.<br /> <br /> Nice discussion. At least takes the mind of that Feb bulletin :D</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://1cinema.org/mediadetails.php?mid=30&&language=german">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/le/the_normal_heart_270511/jim-parsons-lee-pace_3367754.jpg" alt="jim parsons makeup.

My point is consulting is not new to H1, even so called big company also do that via "permanent job".<br /> <br /> All big companies including google,, yahoo, msft use tons of h1b consultants from Infy etc.... <br /> <br /> So if Infy gets affected, literally these firms get affected.<br /> <br /> It is all a power game, where the fittest will survive. it may only be the weaker and smaller firrms that will find it difficult to adapt to such situations.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 2011 jim parsons kaley. <img src="http://www.makli.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/jim-parsons.jpg" alt="jim parsons makeup. jim parsons gay. jim parsons" title="jim parsons gay. jim parsons" width="470" <br><li>jim parsons gay. jim parsons</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">obviously</div><div class="date">08-05 08:59 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Rolling Flood,<br /> <br /> Clearly, you are a NumberUSA person trying to provoke deep rifts amongst a highly skilled workforce that succeeded in getting HR 5882 out there. Your game is up. Look, no one is claiming porting / interfiling is due to 'length of time'. Each application, under each category, is for a DIFFERENT job. Now, obviously, when you gain experience in one job, you become MORE ELIGIBLE for another job, typically at a more senior level. With that, comes a higher income and higher TAXES back to the USA. So, it is likely that EB3 applicants might have started in one job, gained 5 or 6 years experience, a Masters degree and a few certifications etc., and then become attractive candidates for jobs that require a Masters degree ... hence being eligible for an EB2 filing. The folks reviewing EB applications didnt start yesterday and are not wet behind their ears. EB3's that interfile to EB2's have to, LIKE ANYONE ELSE, show the merits of the EB2 application BY ITSELF. There is no notion of 'imagined eligibility'. If that hypothesis were true, how do we know that you did not suffer from a case of 'imagined eligibility' yourself??!! <br /> <br /> Your perverted logic that people are using interfiling on the premise of 'waiting time in EB3 queues' is a fallacy without legal merit. It is a classic case of riding the ladder of inference and using your own conclusions to make up supporting-evidence, to the contrary of reality and law.<br /> <br /> Now, if you think you can snake in a controversy through a law suit, only to protect your inflated sense of protectionism, keep in mind, that your target is the EB2 category itself, not the interfiling process. That latter is a provision of law. I presume that you are in EB2 yourself. Be prepared for unintended consequences because USCIS could very well freeze ALL EB2's INCLUDING YOURS! Might seem a far stretch, but realistically, anytime a court sees 'merit' in challenging an established system, ALL come under purview. How can your case be assumed to be 'innocent' while everyone else that you are against be 'guilty'? How do we know that YOUR EB2 filing was not based on 'assumed eligibility'?<br /> <br /> There are numerous cases of people going to court seeking 'justice' only to find themselves very quickly standing 'on the other side'... trying to get out of a self inflicted mess.<br /> <br /> Obviously, you have issues that run deeper than discontentment with US legal immigration process. Get yourself some help. Seriously.<br /> <br /> I challenge you to disclose <br /> YOUR REAL NAME<br /> YOUR CASE NUMBER<br /> YOUR EMPLOYER'S NAME<br /> YOUR EB2 JOB DESCRIPTION<br /> so that the larger community can find out if there really is no eligible US person to take that job. Seriously. Want to play that game? I can give you a 100% guarantee, that you would rather fight a 'shadow cause' being the coward you are ... and wont hold yourself up to the kind of scrutiny that you wish to hold others to.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://saltcreeklife.com/?p=512">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/81500/Jim-Parsons--81996.jpg" alt="jim parsons makeup. tattoo Jim Parsons ActorJim" title="tattoo Jim Parsons ActorJim" width="470" <br><li>tattoo Jim Parsons ActorJim</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">NKR</div><div class="date">08-06 08:55 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Obviously dude, lol, your post was very funny, had a good laugh.

I couldn't believe that some of them are falling for the realtor tricks. I know someone who last year paid 200K more on an advertised price of 1million. He said the realtor told him that there was bidding war and he kept rising it and eventually got the house for 1.2million. What stupidity. Doesn't he know about phantom bids that realtors use to jack up the price.:( This is last year end when housing here started crashing. I asked him how he is going to pay when his arm resets.

If I had the powers to approve green cards, I would give them away to him and his brother!<br /> <br /> The problem here is no one (consulting company/employee) bothered to make sure that a person on H-1B was allowed to do consulting. I'm not sure who dropped the ball - companies, employees, or the immigration lawyers. But someone should have raised a flag when the type of job was really a temp job. Unfortunately that did not happen.<br /> <br /> Now that the damage has been done, and USCIS is coming after such folks, they are upset that it is happening to them. Again, do note that I am not saying the consultants themselves are less skilled than anyone with FT job. I'm just saying that at the time they got into consulting they did not think of the various consequences. Maybe because no one ever thought that working at different locations, benching, temp nature of the jobs were all against H-1B visa rules?<br /> <br /> You get my point?<br /> <br /> face it as long as the economy is tanking this is going to be an ongoing debate. Everything goes thorugh stages of high and low and we are now expereincing the lows of having the h1b's.<br /> <br /> Sledge While your points are valid, remember folks do not choose consulting (nor do students) as a first choice but I have friends who were employed without any issues directly with client companies who in the midst of recession decide to fire everyone. What are you options if your GC is denied because the company declared bankruptcy? How do you justify to yourself staying with the employer when they files you under Eb3 category when you a master's degree holder from one of the 10 best universities in the US? What are the employee choices here, just pack up and leave? leave houses, friends and people you stayed with many years. <br /> <br /> You think they haven't searched for full time positions with other companies only to be turned back? or worse case restart the entire GC process and forgo the 6+ years?<br /> <br /> And the experiences I am relating are from the 2001 recession. I have already seen history repeat itself now but my more fear is that tomorrow USCIS will unfortunately hit the person who followed all the rules After all how is the USCIS knowing which are the good companies and which are bad? These very things are happening and very much can happen to you as well.

Well in times of inflation your savings/investment is better in real-estate than anything else. But definitely NOT cash.<br /> <br /> So although we might be near the bottom of real estate market, we can never guesstimate the bottom until it has passed. My advice is, negotiate hard(buyers market) and get into a deal now. As a safety net, you can ask for a long escrow(around 180 days). That way you can backout of the deal if things head south. You've only lost the deposit(subject to arbitration at least in California).<br /> <br /> Someone pointed out that Visa Status is a smaller issue, the big issue is if you can hold onto your investment for atleast 5 years, you are golden.<br /> -----------<br /> 5 years is too less (you have to hold it for around 10 yrs minimum). 2 years the prices may/will fall. 2 years it would be steady and maybe start increasing slowly after that. so if you buy a house (depends on area ....but broadly) ..a 100K investment in RE (And if we take the best case scenario) after 5 years would be worth 80, 000. if you take inflation in to account.<br /> in the end it is supply and demand -- supply is huge. where is the demand going to come from ?? immigration is tight and in the fast moving life -- people have fewer and fewer kids. if u want to be safe - cash is good (atleast principal is safe if you get around 4 percent return) ..it is best to have diversified portfolio. many of my friends have put everything in RE and are worried now</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">12-21 10:00 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Republican Unity Trumps Democratic Momentum (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/21/washington/21cong.html) By CARL HULSE and ROBERT PEAR | NY Times, Dec 21, 2007<br /> <br /> WASHINGTON � It was a picture-perfect start for Nancy Pelosi as she took the speaker�s podium last January in her tailored aubergine suit surrounded by children to emphasize her singular status as the first woman, mother and grandmother to lead the House.<br /> <br /> What Ms. Pelosi did not know, as she beamed at her fellow Democrats cheering their return to power, was that the glum Republicans witnessing the tableau would remain persistently unified against her and her ambitious new majority in the legislative year ahead. <br /> <br /> Defying expectations and surprising even themselves, Republicans were able to slow and sometimes halt Democratic momentum by refusing to break with President Bush and his war strategy, no matter how unpopular, and by resisting social initiatives, no matter how appealing. <br /> <br /> �What is interesting to me is how the Republicans have stuck with the president,� said Ms. Pelosi, of California, looking back on her history-making first year capped by the president signing an energy bill that she declared as a top priority from the start. �I didn�t foresee that.�<br /> <br /> Republicans say their unity was inspired by what they saw as Democratic overreaching on policy, bolstered by a fundamental belief that a Congressionally forced withdrawal from Iraq would be disastrous, and stiffened by attacks on vulnerable members from outside advocacy groups. <br /> <br /> Holding together, they exerted their influence in three main areas: a children�s health care bill, domestic spending and, first and foremost, the war in Iraq. Time and again, even when a few of their number defected, they refused to provide the votes needed to challenge the president�s handling of the war. As a result, the final House vote of the year handed Mr. Bush another $70 billion for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, much to the frustration of Democrats who had begun 2007 with enormous expectations.<br /> <br /> �I was much more hopeful and optimistic that we would be able to do more to bring a new direction to this war, with our majority in the House and Senate,� said Representative John Lewis, the Georgia Democrat often viewed as the conscience of the party.<br /> <br /> As they left the Capitol, Congressional Republicans took the view that they had been able to leverage their minority status to a degree even they had not thought possible.<br /> <br /> �A year into �the wilderness,� our Republican team has scored legislative and political victories that no one � no one � could have predicted a year ago,� Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader, wrote in a confidential memorandum distributed to Republican House members.<br /> <br /> Democrats predicted that Republicans would pay a steep price in 2008 for their conduct in 2007 while Democrats would take advantage of their own victories on kitchen-table issues like worker pay and education costs. <br /> <br /> As they face the voters in a presidential election year, Republicans will have to explain their loyalty to Mr. Bush�s war policies when polls have been clear for months about public dissatisfaction with the war. Even the relatively positive military trends that some see in Iraq have not, so far, produced much in the way of social stability there.<br /> <br /> Democrats will remind voters at every turn that Republicans fought the expansion of health insurance for children and higher federal spending on biomedical research, college aid and an entire spectrum of federal programs. <br /> <br /> �Many are paying and will continue to pay a price, but they are standing by the president and their most conservative base,� said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. �The general polling across the country suggests this will not work in November.�<br /> <br /> As Democrats asserted their new power at the start of the year, they raced ahead in the House with a series of initiatives on the minimum wage, higher education, terrorism, health care and energy, often with solid bipartisan support, giving hope that they might be able to attract Republicans. <br /> <br /> But the early action also foreshadowed problems that would hinder the new majority all year: the Senate, with its minority-empowering rules, was not on the same hurry-up schedule, and House Republicans bristled at what they considered heavy-handed treatment. �Overreaching and the exclusion of Republicans � that formula equals a lack of results,� said Representative Dave Camp, Republican of Michigan.<br /> <br /> The first serious collision with Republicans and Mr. Bush came in the spring when Democrats first tried to condition $120 billion in war spending on a deadline for withdrawal. Initially they were able to push the measure through with minimal Republican support, but when it was vetoed, they fell far short of the margin needed for an override. <br /> <br /> Unwilling to be accused of depriving the troops of funds, they stripped the withdrawal provision. It was a pattern repeated throughout the year. At different points, Republicans seemed poised to bolt from Mr. Bush on the war � and other issues � but held firm.<br /> <br /> On another national security issue, Democrats caved to administration pressure on terror surveillance before a summer break. Ms. Pelosi allowed the House to approve a temporary extension of a wiretapping program even though she considered the proposal constitutionally flawed and felt that the White House had dishonestly accused Democrats of impeding surveillance. �That was a sad day,� she said. �Sometimes it is just a fight where we don�t have a similar platform.� <br /> <br /> The solidarity of House Republicans was also on display in a long-running fight over proposals to expand the Children�s Health Insurance Program, a top priority for Ms. Pelosi and other Democratic leaders. On Sept. 28, one day after a child health bill cleared Congress for the first time, Democrats mapped out a strategy to override Mr. Bush�s promised veto.<br /> <br /> Democrats and their allies held rallies, broadcast television commercials and made hundreds of telephone calls. They focused initially on 15 House Republicans, many from swing districts and suburban areas. They predicted that most of these lawmakers would switch sides and support the bill. But none did.<br /> <br /> As the spending bills that finance federal agencies stalled, partly because of a long Senate immigration debate that ended without producing major legislation, Republicans joined Mr. Bush in insisting that Democrats not exceed the White House�s spending limit. Democratic leaders, who by and large earned their spurs on the appropriation committees, kept waiting for Mr. Bush to cut a deal. But the White House was spoiling for a fight. <br /> <br /> �The president as we all know, I can verify this for sure, has been eager all year to veto bills sent to his desk,� Representative Roy Blunt of Missouri, the No. 2 Republican, said Thursday.<br /> <br /> Though Democrats had to settle for Mr. Bush�s spending figure, they rewrote parts of the $555 billion spending package to suit their own priorities. And they said that by passing the budget measure, they succeeded where Republicans could not in 2006, while depriving Republicans of the clash they wanted.<br /> <br /> Heading into 2008, Republicans say they know they cannot campaign without a more positive agenda than simply thwarting Democrats. Republicans say they are putting together their own proposals on health care and the economy to present to the public. <br /> <br /> �I think it�s incumbent upon us to provide solutions to their concerns,� Mr. Boehner said, �but solutions built on our principles.�<br /> <br /> Democrats have their own plans. Ms. Pelosi and others say they will revisit elements of the energy legislation that they had to jettison to get the new law enacted. They will have a health care push and major economic legislation to counter the possibility of a looming recession. They will keep the pressure on over Iraq, though the speaker indicated that she might focus more on policy questions and less on money for troops. <br /> <br /> And Democrats will try to paint Republicans as the problem. �But for the president and the Bush Republicans in the Senate,� said Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, �we could have accomplished so much more.�</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">abracadabra102</div><div class="date">12-30 09:48 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">at the risk of adding to this "no longer relevant" thread - there is a huge difference between US and India gaining independence.....in case of the former - it was some Britishers now settled in America fighting other Britishers (loyalists to the throne) for autonomy and independence......<br /> <br /> India was perhaps the first successful example of natives gaining independence from a colonial European power....<br /> <br /> also - to brush up on some more history - India was not occupied in 1600 - actually East India Company was established in that year.....the real establishment and consolidation of territorial control happened between two historical events (Battle of Plassey in 1757 and Sepoy Mutiny in 1857).....if we consider the 1757 date as start of colonization in true earnest - then India was independent in 190 years (1947 - 1757) against your calculation of 189 years for USA (as per your post - 1789-1600) - so not bad for a mostly non-violent struggle :-)<br /> <br /> Also - one of the reasons Atlee thought it was too expensive to maintain colonies was because of all the Quit India and Civil Disobedience type regular movements -these movements took much political and military bandwidth that Britain simply did not have after the war.....if maitaining a colony was easy sailing - i doubt Britain would have given it up easily and we have to credit the non-violent movements for helping India becoming a pain in the neck for Britain......<br /> <br /> 1600 was the time Britishers set foot in US and India. You are right that the actual consolidation of power (in India) started around 1750s in India. At the same time, the actual American revolution started in 1775 and is over effectively by 1781 when George Washington's army defeated Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. (This Cornwallis bloke returned to UK with his tail between his legs and was appointed as Governor General of India and he was very successful there. As usual we made a tiger out of a mouse :-) ). After Sepoy revolt of 1857, we had to whine for a good 90 years for our independence. Americans started it in 1775/76 and is over by 1783, in just 8 years. Before 1775/76, Americans were willing subjects of British crown, but Indians were not.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-85072504374618823862011-07-12T21:57:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.608-07:00bridget marquardt weight lossimages ridget marquardt bonzai <img src="http://www3.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Premiere%25252BTravel%25252BChannel%25252BBridget%25252BSexiest%25252BBeaches%25252BRN_bcIy7B_Ol.jpg" alt="bridget marquardt weight loss. hair Bridget Marquardt Actress" title="hair Bridget Marquardt Actress" width="470" <br><li>hair Bridget Marquardt Actress</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">senthil1</div><div class="date">04-08 07:28 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Finally anti immigrants will make the immigrants to fight to keep atleast whatever they have it now.

Could you please share the source of this information?<br /> <br /> None of us should take this bill lightly. There is a saying - "one should never watch sausage or law being made". The guys who vote on the bills, in most instances, don't actually know what they are voting on. Most lawmakers may vote in favor of this bill as the anti-lobby is warpping this bill around a message "this bill is to enhance protections for American workers, so are you going to vote against American workers?" As such most lawmakers could vote in favor of this bill. The current environment is very dangerous where most people watch news in the sound-bites and half of the Senate is running for President. In such an environment, if you ask Obama, Hilary, Dodd, McCain etc., they are all likely to vote in favor of this bill, without going into the nuances and actual implications of this bill. None of these guys would want to be headlines saying something like �Obama is against American Works�. No one will actually care to look at the long term implication of such a bill whereby most of the IT jobs will be outsourced.<br /> <br /> From tomorrow, we should all email and inform everybody that we can, including our employers.

I never paid a dime for my H1-B or my GC processing till date, it was all paid by the company.<br /> 5.) My company is very strict regarding the letter of the law, and so my GC processing was by the rule book, each and every detail (no fake resumes here).<br /> 6.)

Most of the persons PD will become current and anyone who gets H1b will get GC within 1 or 2 years. So no need for H1b extension. If Skil bill comes with Durbin proposal then most of the negative issues will be resolved by increasing more gcs. Infact substitution elimination also not needed if Skil bill comes as PD will become current always.<br /> <br /> I am talking about people whose permanent labors are approved but they can not get green card for whateever reason.

China�s heavy-handed effort to get European nations to skip the Nobel peace prize ceremony in Oslo earlier this month did the trick. Not only did member states show up, but Serbia and Ukraine, countries with EU ambitions, were encouraged to attend as well. Yet this was atypical of a relationship in which China, with newfound power, has found it easy to divide and rule the EU. <br /> <br /> While the European Council focused on the euro crisis last week, away from the limelight, EU leaders were adopting a new China policy. Discussion began four months ago when EU leaders took up Europe-China relations. Then the issue was overshadowed by the internal EU topic of the day: Romas. Dealing with China was relegated to short talks and coffee breaks. <br /> <br /> This reveals a lot about the EU�s strategic outreach. The EU looks inward and seems destined to be an enlarged Switzerland rather than the missing link between the US and Asia in shaping global affairs. China has recognized this, and increasingly sees Europe as an investment opportunity rather than as a global partner.<br /> <br /> On a recent trip to Beijing, I met a range of prominent Chinese officials and academics. Not one asked me how Europe intended to influence US strategy toward Afghanistan or about European views on the upcoming referendum in Sudan. To Beijing, Europe is not so much post-modern as post-global.<br /> <br /> How can the EU�s strategic shrinkage be reversed? EU Council President van Rompuy�s comment in September on the need for �reciprocity� � giving to China only when the EU gets something back � was a good start. In line with this, the draft for the new EU trade policy looks at the possibility of closing off the European public procurement market if China does not give the EU reciprocal access to its market. This tough EU language has not gone unnoticed in Beijing. I was repeatedly asked about it by Chinese interlocutors. China understands a clear but consistent message.<br /> <br /> By itself this new approach will not be enough. The EU must pursue a set of commonly agreed aims. Europe needs to set urgent, coherent strategic priorities, setting aside strategic patience and trust, the key words of the new approach. <br /> <br /> The process of setting new trade policy priorities needs to be extended to the political realm. Member states must select a few priorities on which they really want to engage with China. Non-proliferation, climate change, good governance and human rights are good candidates.<br /> <br /> The big players in Europe have been bypassed economically in the last decade by China. They still have traction individually but much less than their national egos afford � this is true even for Germany, which currently is on its own fast track with large scale exports to China.<br /> <br /> The Wikileaks exposed how the US looks at the political dwarfs of Europe. The Middle Kingdom has a similar take. The feud over Dalai Lama visits in 2007 and 2008 showed that China was capable of hanging out to dry even Germany and France. The old days � the 1990s � when the EU could levy sanctions on China and enforce a change in behavior are gone. The last vestige of this era is the arms embargo. A new era has begun in which China can levy smart sanctions on European countries.<br /> <br /> Resisting the bilateral inclination is difficult. Bilateral visits like David Cameron�s recent tour to China and the Chinese president�s visit to Paris are locked in the logic of bilateral trade promotion. But seeing links to China mainly as a bilateral issue rather than a European-wide concern means accepting a weak position vis-a-vis Beijing. China deals with Europe as it is, not how we dream it is. When European states pursue their own agendas, China will get free traders in the Northern countries to block moves that it sees as too strong, while ensuring that indifferent Southerners dilute policies on human rights.<br /> <br /> A purely bilateral vocabulary seems increasingly anachronistic when an Airbus is assembled with subcomponents from all over Europe. Member countries must acknowledge that signing up to the EU is a binding commitment. A high-level EU official conceded that the just adopted internal strategy paper was kept relatively bland because of suspicion that it would be leaked to China. As a result, it couldn�t contain a more detailed game plan for how to secure EU interests through trade-offs and linkages.<br /> <br /> The EU�s bilateral instinct can be overcome. The internal pressure for multilateral compliance should be stronger once the External Action Service is up and running. But the EAS is no deus ex machina. Member states must be continuously engaged to pursue reciprocal engagement with China. The European Parliament, with its new say over foreign policy, could play an important role by naming and shaming member states that subvert the EU�s strategic priorities in exchange for bilateral advantages. <br /> <br /> A joined-up China policy is urgently needed. Events tend to overtake the EU while it ponders policy and its strategic approach. This year, it was Chinese investments in Europe, particularly in government bonds from Greece to Spain. China�s investment in Europe is a natural diversification from a dollar verdose. Chinese investment should be welcome, but the EU should be an intermediary so that this process is not framed as a bilateral favor that creates political dependency between China and member states. Eurobonds, which have been widely discussed as a solution in the euro crisis, could be a useful tool in this. <br /> <br /> For EU foreign policy �czar� Catherine Ashton and her team, fleshing out the elements of a common EU China policy and being able to apply it in time means anticipating events and providing guidance for how individual actions and bilateral visits play to (or undermine) Europe�s strength. For example, the EU needs a code of conduct for dealing with Liu Xiaobo after the Nobel debacle. Such a code of conduct could be minimal. The important point is that it is adhered to.<br /> <br /> Member states must make strategic choices that do not favor short-term national rewards at the expense of Europe�s strength. The member-states need to move China up the policy agenda and act in unison if they want to reap the benefits of stronger ties to China and avoid being divided and ultimately ruled.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.tisphie.net/soojung/index.php?category=gnome">more...</a><br><br /><br />pictures How will he get over the loss? <img src="http://www.yusrablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Bridget-Marquardt-Half-Up-Half-Down.jpg" alt="bridget marquardt weight loss.

One should continue doing thinking long term prosperity and standard of living. It is a good time to make this move if you have some cash to make 20% down, otherwise the rates, and type of loan programs are no longer attractive. The housing market is probably at the bottom, and hopefully with the new efforts to revive the housing market things may be improving soon. So considering interest rates are still low, housing values at 2004 level, it is a good combination. Just my 2 cents to the discussion!!</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses Bridget Marquardt talks <img src="http://www.meobreakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/holly-madison.jpg" alt="bridget marquardt weight loss.

Thus, his clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, especially if the speciality is needed comparatively rarely. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consultants as a check to the Principal-Agent problem."<br /> <br /> Consultants have more exposure to the corporate environment than the full time empolyees who do the work as same old same old. Consultants usually and rapidly cater to the needs to the corporate needs of course chanrging huge fees unlike the FTEs.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://rippercut.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup co-stars Bridget Marquardt <img src="http://x17video.com/lowres/bmarquardt052109.jpg" alt="bridget marquardt weight loss.

But if employer-employee relationship is now followed the way it should be followed by law then there are issues. For example, you are not in the same medical plans as employees or your work insurance is not covered (or you are not invited in annual christmas party for employees - just kidding). Specially, labor approval procedure has heavy dependency on prevailing wages and salary offered. In percentage basis there is no salary offered. Think about it. <br /> <br /> There is a gray area here. You can believe it is legal because it is nowhere mentioned that it is illegal.

He wanted to know how many H1B visas were issued in the years 2004, 2005. The government would not tell him. <br /> <br /> So... <br /> <br /> JOHN MIANO, CO-FOUNDER, PROGRAMMERS GUILD: I filed Freedom of Information Act request to get copies -- electronic copies of the records and applications for H1B guest worker visas. <br /> <br /> TUCKER: H1B visas are temporary guest worker visas which allow foreign workers with specialized skills to work in the United States. Miano's reasons for wanting to know the information are basic. <br /> <br /> MIANO: We do not know how many of H1B visas are being issued each year. The second big question we would know is, who is getting these visas? <br /> <br /> TUCKER: So, what was the government's response to his request? "We have completed our search for records responsive to your request but did not locate any." In other words, they lost the records. <br /> <br /> The response came from the person in charge of handling Freedom of Information Act requests. We asked the USCIS for a clarification, and a spokesman told us, "The response was a mistake and the letter was sent in error."<br /> <br /> The mistake came to their attention after LOU DOBBS TONIGHT asked them about it. The agency tells us that the information Miano was looking for could be available, but he would have to buy it for a fee of roughly $4,500 to $5,000. <br /> <br /> The former director of the Office of Internal Affairs at USCIS finds it outrageous that the information isn't immediately available and points out that Congress has been asking for this information for six months. <br /> <br /> MICHAEL MAXWELL, FMR. DIR. OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS, USCIS: If they are at all honest with the American public, we will see that there is a real problem with fraud in the H1B system, and it is being gamed by both terrorists and foreign agents. <br /> <br /> TUCKER: The national security implications are obvious. <br /> <br /> (END VIDEOTAPE)<br /> <br /> TUCKER: The USCIS is supposed to publish an annual report on the program, but no such report has been filed since (AUDIO GAP).<br /> <br /> And the Senate's so-called immigration reform would nearly double the size of the H1B program, and, Lou, it would add additional guest worker programs for USCIS to manage. <br /> <br /> DOBBS: It is stunning that the Citizenship and Immigration Service, the very agency that would be responsible if the Senate and the president have their way with this amnesty bill and so-called guest worker bill, they can't even administer a pathetically-run program like this. It's crazy. <br /> <br /> Why do they not know how many people are in this country? <br /> <br /> TUCKER: Well, it's been told to me by sources they do know. They just don't want to let anybody know because... <br /> <br /> DOBBS: Well, we've got a couple of answers to go with here. Either they don't know, they won't give it to you, and if they do have it, which they now say they might have, it's going to cost you five grand to find out. <br /> <br /> TUCKER: You got it. <br /> <br /> DOBBS: I've got to say, this -- this government is absolutely dysfunctional. And why this Congress, this president -- well, to the degree in which they're not aiding and abetting in the effort, are tolerating this kind of incompetence is beyond me, and a whole lot of other folks, obviously, including you, Bill Tucker. Thank you for that fine report. Taking a look now at some of your thoughts, Bob in Kansas wrote in to say, "Thank goodness for British Home Security.

But there was a very sensible posting by our spokes person Mark B.<br /> <br /> He said, he would not put home buying by GC folks as a main selling point for our cause. May be he will say this point as a half joke-half serious manner while discussing our core selling point. The core selling point being that the US is loosing talent by not giving us GCs in a timely manner.<br /> I agree ..it cannot be used as the main point. but everywhere (even here) .money (or economic issues in this case) talks.<br /> also, when you use current issues to link to the immi cause then there is a better chance of selling it.<br /> for eg - during Y2K ..nobody complained when immigrants were flocking here.<br /> when dot com was at height - clinton was easily able to sign the H1 cap increase bill.<br /> the issue today is housing ..but I agree many legal immigrants have brought (though I guess 60 - 70 % have not) ..and if the numbers were twice or thrice and there was unity ..then it would have been different.<br /> if you see the prev link about foreclosures ...say in a sub division - the average house rate is 400K. one of them goes in FC ..bank lists it for 250K ..in the same sub div - if 3 genuine sellers want to sell and compete - then they have to bring down their prices to maybe 300K ..and hence all the house values in that Sub Division effectively comes down ..so even 1 house buyer matters. In the end this issue will mostly be solved by increased demand ..and sizeable amt of that demand will come from immigrants.<br /> <br /> and if you see and analyze this link - the market will be swamped by foreclosures.<br /> http://www.cnbc.com/id/24187419<br /> http://blogs.marketwatch.com/greenbe...un/?mod=MWBlog</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-46254303952124786712011-07-12T19:20:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.608-07:00matteo manassero in the bagimages hair makeup matteo manassero <img src="http://www.khakicrusader.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/wbr.jl_-513x1024.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag. matteo manassero in the ag. out of Matteo Manassero#39;s" title="matteo manassero in the ag. out of Matteo Manassero#39;s" width="470" <br><li>matteo manassero in the ag. out of Matteo Manassero#39;s</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">waitnwatch</div><div class="date">08-05 03:18 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">If someone is eligible to port to a higher category they will rightfully do so.

You can go over 80% on the first loan but the lender will ask for PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). Which is around 1% of the loan. To skirt around it, mortgage brokers break up the loan into first and second(80%+10%+10% down). This avoids the PMI and helps the buyer qualify for a bigger loan/house. Also PMI premiums are not tax-deductible.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.mcopley.co.uk/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/185/photo52r.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag.

Mortgage on the other hand is fixed for 30 years!<br /> <br /> If you work based on the historic values of price and rent appreciation - it should not make any difference.<br /> <br /> How? Just like the "fundamental" of any stocks price is how much money that company makes - the fundamental of a home price is the rent it can fetch in the market. So the home price and the rent will always increase at approximately the same rate. <br /> <br /> With that assumption, you will benefit from a "fixed mortgage payment" only if your home price/rent increases > inflation. Based on historic numbers - I doubt we can assume this to be the case.<br /> <br /> The period "right now" - is an aberration. I would caution everybody against using our intuitions honed in the debt fueled binge between 1980 to now. Cold hard numbers based on some quantifiable assumptions are better bets.<br /> <br /> >> People are not going to sell. They will just say put rather than take a 40% loss.<br /> <br /> Until inflation eats away at their "wealth" in the form of a house. :-).

There are lot of gotcha's but there are some good things. I'm glad to see H1-B rights and whistleblower sections. This was way past due. Really, this is more of a culmination of those few employers who have tried to exploit the system / employees. <br /> The summary document says that Whistleblower protection does not protect immigration status. So the current language of "Whistleblower protection" has NOT much new to offer because Whistleblower protection is already part of the federal law (outside of immigration act). Here is some info:<br /> <br /> http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/whistle.htm<br /> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> key points to ponder:<br /> <br /> - Finally IRS and USICS have come together. !! .. thats a big blow to the body shoppers ( may be a good thing)<br /> <br /> There is already a requirement in the Tax law to send the datab/W-2 of each employee (including the employees on H1) to IRS. So much so that if a company you worked for last year has closed down, you could go to the local IRS office to get your W-2 (from IRS).<br /> <br /> <br /> -> 50 employees cant have more than 50% H1B's. I think this will basicaly create many smaller consulting companies nothing else. This I don't like .. could be bad for genuine businesses. <br /> <br /> To get around 50% requirements, as the greenguru mentioned, the employers could bend around the system by having companies with employee size < 50. So it will be an inconvenience for them, but there are ways and means to get around. The problem will be faced by people already here waiting for green cards. If your employer has more than 50% on H1, they will have to file H1 from the sister company and the new law will be applicable to the new H1. So the people already here on H1 will suffer the most.<br /> <br /> <br /> I hope it doesnt, without any amendments. Maybe a friendlier bill with strict H1-B rights would be nice.<br /> Well said!! This bill is not friendly and a better bill, which is not imposing unnecessary restrictions and has worker protection provisions for all H1 employees will be better in making the H1 process equitable and workable.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://maedchen.byethost32.com/infusions/referer_panel/all_referer.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbI__LQgTwO7q7bewIORyQwf580eQtFGn1pojnOiy8VN7TuKWoOH4H_RC7M5Qy-EJIBTLrnAjhg8-NwvcjdDSEgKfDApsw0S6UTLdiIOmmnJbxjGJVR8635DumqCnbmBfBXTqFSfI8Rgx/s1600/FotoFlexer_Photo%25252B4.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag. matteo manassero in the ag. matteo manassero makeup." title="matteo manassero in the ag. matteo manassero makeup." width="470" <br><li>matteo manassero in the ag. matteo manassero makeup.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">rajuseattle</div><div class="date">07-15 01:58 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Rajuram,<br /> <br /> The petition you are asking us to sign doesnt have legal standings. It doesnt have any strong argument to change USCIS's interpretation of allocating the spill over VISA numbers.<br /> <br /> Instead we should all focus our enrgy in getting Rep Lofgren's bill for recapturing the wasted VISA numbers.<br /> <br /> IV has launched the initiative by sending the Petition/letter to your local US congress reps and senators. <br /> <br /> IV petition is urging US congress and senate to consider Rep Lofgren's imigration relief bills for the legal immigrants, which will recapture the wasted VISA numbers and they are in the range of about 200,000, this will be good to retrogressed countries. Apart from IV their are other pro legal immigrant lobbiests who are working hard to get these pro legal immigration relief bills passed this year, but due to slowing economy anything US congress wants to do for immigration relief comes under scrutiny by anti-immigration forces and they try to kill these relief bills, on the other hand their are some groups in US congress and senate who wants the amnesty for all illegal immigrants and they are strongly opposing any kind of relief just to legal immigrants.<br /> <br /> Its a long battle ahead of us, and hope staying together and working with IV will help us rather than having war of words between EB-3 I and EB-2 I.<br /> <br /> Current letter writen by pani is inappropriate and it doesnt make our case strong.<br /> <br /> For Pani too, I am perosnally not against him, we all are frustrated with this GC situation, but unless USCIS gets more VISA numbers from congress, they can not do anything. <br /> <br /> I guess illegal immigrant lobby and some of the anti immigrant forces in Washington DC are strong enough and at this time they are influencing the law makers to not pass any pro legal immgrant relief.<br /> <br /> Our only hope is if IV succeed in getting some relief from US congress...or at some point the nurses from india and phillipines stop consuming the EB-3 quota. Remember when we were all stuck in the state employment agencies and DOL backlog centres, they were allowed to file I-140 without labor certifications and they were the major beneficary for some of the recaptured VISA numbers and the July 2007 VB fiasco when USCIS approved some unprecedented EB-3 India VISA numbers.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair Matteo Manassero – Placing: 2 <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FOhmbnPQ4G1W2334bS98mWIAj0xcB_WM7LXINShOxfe-G3eBJuRu9dw-_hmeTiof-UjNBDOowdB4N7zAp3e295OyH6wD3xjo3N7Vf0ZfUxOtZTJF4m4EX-SVTSL85bkpabhgT8gcRg0/s1600/whats+in+the+bag+Matteo+Manassero+2010%25255B11%25255D.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag. auguri a Matteo Manassero" title="auguri a Matteo Manassero" width="470" <br><li>auguri a Matteo Manassero</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">unitednations</div><div class="date">07-09 11:23 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Hi Manu..<br /> <br /> can u pls clarify when u find some time..<br /> <br /> from what I understand and you posted, he changed employers from A to B to C.<br /> He reentered the US with a visa stamping of AorB and din't get a new H1 visa stamping with C..is that so..? <br /> <br /> but until now 99% of us, are in the same thinking that as long as you have a valid stamping in the passport u r good for rentry..<br /> <br /> so they dig and dig into our passports .. ? we ourselves get dizzy looking into all the pages of our passports.<br /> <br /> Like UN said..wonder what we/they achieve with lawsuits,but we can expect a lot of digging into our cases during AOS...<br /> <br /> (lawsuiting/challenging is no good idea with USCIS/DOS,they will not budge even a mm,they r huge monster govt organizations,it is best to move with the flow and instead work on ideas of allowing to file 485 when dates r not current etc..)<br /> <br /> You can enter USA on a different companies h-1b visa then the h-1b you are currently working for.<br /> <br /> However; the mistake people make is that at the port of entry; they give their h-1b documents and POE officer only looks at the companies name on the visa.

If person overstays the incorrect validity date on the I-94 card then they would be considered to be staying unlawfully.<br /> <br /> The problem is that there is some guidance from the office of business liaisons which says that if a person has multiple h-1b approvals (notice of actions has I-94 cards attached with it), then they can work with all of them but just not at the same time. That is person can transfer from company a to b to c and if they wish they can go back to company a without filing for change of employer. However; it gets very murky when person leaves and re-enters and enters on wrong company h-1b with incorrect validity dates.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://saxophone.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/uploads/monthly_04_2011/post-62078-0-13386100-1303232195_thumb.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag.

When they not recognize the saviour and cruxified, God's wrath fall upon them and they are disperesed. But to fulfil the Holy Bible prophesy, they regain the land and living there. No force in earth to distroy them. They are surrounded by hostile nations. Still they are surviving. <br /> These Arabs during and after the time of Mohammed tried to conquer the lands, and they occupy the land of Jews. They occupy the Constanople, where the biggest church situated, and they anexed to ottaman empire, now Turkey. They slaughtered everybody in that city. They did it in Syria, Egypt in AD1100. They distroy their culture, language etc. They cut the tongue, if anybody speaks the local language Syric in Syria and Coptic in Egypt. You can ask the minority people from these countries or read history. Barbarian Arabs conqured Indian subcontinent and convert the people by force. So Islam is not a religion of peace. It started with violence and end with violence. Every religion, religous people will be pious, but in Islam, they become terrorist. Satan is controlling these people. Sorry to say that.

Including veterans like UN and others who have been through hoops, successes and failures in assesing a particular case.<br /> <br /> My personal understanding is that NO 2 two cases are identical for USCIS and there is a term "Officer Discretion" which comes into play a lot. This Discretion is more positive to the applicant when a case is prepared prefessionaly and a little negative when done without care.<br /> <br /> Also even though the individual affected tries to provide the information to get the best solution does not mean he/she has provided 100% information based on facts of the case. There could be something missed out easily just because that does not ring the bell for the person submitting the information or simply because the information is too private and not appropriate on a public forum.<br /> <br /> My point is these forums are not meant for a realistic solution to a complicated issue like the one on this thread. Please get a good attorney and that does not only mean Murthy or Khanna. There are tons of attorneys available both good and competent and affordable and who may have a solution which appeals USCIS officer.<br /> <br /> Best of Luck.<br /> <br /> This is very correct. Usually; when people post an issue they are only giving 20% of the story and there are more twists and turns that they are not disclosing and in our over zealousness to advise/post; we go through various scenarios.<br /> <br /> In my experience; uscis does not by default give a person a tough time. However; if there is a history (ie., denials); then they seem to go a little further into it.<br /> <br /> <br /> In my own case; when I had to go to local office interview; the list of documents that the officer asked for me was pretty extensive and basically outside the law. However; he still asked for those things (ie., tax returns; w2's from 1999 through 2006 (as an example)); He was really reaching in what he asked for. If I didn't have these things; then there is a possibility that a person may fake some of these things and then uscis tries to trap you. However; 245k; ead, etc.; future job offer has a lot of protections for us. It's never good to fake things; especially when most of the time it isn't necessary.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo house matteo manassero in the <img src="http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/The%252BAmateur%252BChampionships%252Bb9w-8lgR_x7l.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag.

I had to practice what I preach.<br /> <br /> One of the reasons they ask for tax returns, w2's is they want to assess your intentions; if tax returns, etc. , is out of line with offered wage then it can make them think that it is not believable you will be doing that job once greencard gets approved.<br /> <br /> Once 485 is filed; you are in a period of authorized stay. At that point; you can sit around and do nothing; switch jobs, etc.; However; to keep working you need to have authorization (ie., EAD card if you don't hold H-1b).<br /> <br /> I didn't prepare my personal tax returns on purpose because uscis could have assessed my intentions differently. When I asked him why he wanted to see the tax returns for 2005 and 2006; even though I have unrestricted employment and I can do nothing if I please; he responded it was to assess intention. Since he saw I was self employed; if my tax returns were out of line with the offered job I was going to take upon greencard approval then they may not believe it.<br /> <br /> Now; I didn't give him any financial data for 2005 and 2006. Although this is legal; if I was going to port to self employment then he could have assessed whether I was going to become a public charge or how I was living in 2005 and 2006. I had all my financial documents (ie., bank balances, brokerage account); just in case he went down this road. <br /> <br /> he didn't but just in case he wanted to; I was ready for it.<br /> <br /> UN,<br /> <br /> Did you face any questions about "Same or Similar" in the interview particularly for the time period when you were self employed? <br /> <br /> Can you throw some light on how to handle the scenarios where the proferred wage is much lower than the current wage and once someone invokes AC21 the offered wage can be much higher . I understand that this scenario can be problematic in case of "future job" GCs. <br /> <br /> My understanding of AC21 is this ..

Frankly I am surprised that this debate has gone beyond 1 page. I am tired of beating a dead horse.<br /> <br /> If you are renting for 1500/month thats 18,000 a year, or 540,000 in 30 years that you lose with no chance of claiming as a deduction or ever using for anything. Rather than losing that money, why not use it to own the property you are living in?<br /> <br /> As a homeowner, you can use that 540,000 to own the home. The interest and property taxes you pay are tax deductible, and the principal means that at the end of the 30 years, the home is yours (20 if your loan is 20 years). Even when you are paying the mortgage, you are saving. You are getting bigger tax returns and you are owning the home that you live in. No amount of rent will guarantee either.<br /> <br /> Through a combination of tax deductions, home equity, and property value, I am willing to bet you that I can save the same amount you do by renting, but still be ahead by owning the property I live in in 30 years. Just take a look at any home owner's history and tell me someone who hasn't doubled the value of their home (home only, not including their savings) in the past 30 years or more.<br /> <br /> Everyone here that is dead-set on renting, by all means continue to throw your money away. And it REALLY is throwing your money away. How you wish to justify doing so is fine by me as long as you can sleep at night and explain to your family, friends and kids why you chose to rent for 30 or so years.<br /> <br /> All your calculations are meaningless if the house price keeps going down 20% like the past few years. We will reach a point where the house price crash stops and starts to stabilize. That point is couple of years away. Until then, we can ignore the rent vs mortgage calculations.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses Matteo Manassero, who tied for <img src="http://www.golftoday.co.uk/newimages/matteo_manassero.jpg" alt="matteo manassero in the bag.

I first came to USA almost 12 years ago on a business trip as part of a multinational chip design effort for high end Telecommunication market. I was very impressed with the group of professionals I worked with. I felt the work environment stimulated the creativity in me and brought the best out of me. After the short trip I went back to my home country but that visit left a lasting impression on me and I felt USA would be the place I can further my professional abilities. Couple of years later, I came to USA for my Masters to embark on that journey. Even though I graduated when the US economy was in recession (2001), my unique skill set was much sought after and hence I got a job with a R&D startup division of a popular Japanese company. Working with a great group of professionals brought out the creativity in me. I currently have 10 US patents. The sailing was smooth until I started my Green Card process. The outdated immigration system and the long wait in the limbo state has been impacting my professional and personal life. I am starting to doubt that my American dream is slipping away day by day. I hope if Obama becomes the president he would restore some credibility to my faith in the immigration system. But if Sen. Durbin is driving Obama's immigration policy then I fear even more long waits for high-skilled immigrants because of Sen. Durbin's aggressive stance against H1B's. Mean while I have started to look at immigrant friendly countries like Australia and Canada as my possible future destination. Due to too much headaches with immigration process my Director had decided not to hire any more foreign workers, this decision has crippled our divisions expansion as most of the interested candidates require H1's. All the new projects which otherwise would have started in USA has moved to other places all because of the broken immigration process. <br /> <br /> Obama has mentioned many times on the campaign trail that "his education" is the reason why he has risen to where he is now. I feel Obama is a person who values higher education and high-skilled professional and I do have great faith in Obama's skills, I hope he takes a strong stance on the need to reform the high-skilled immigration system.<br /> <br /> Many have been looking at the high-skilled immigrants through a narrow pin hole, even Sen Durbin has been swayed by such critics. NFAP report shows that almost 50% of the private venture backed companies started between 1995 and 2005 are founded by immigrants. Guess what Sen. Durbin and high-skilled immigrant critics majority of those immigrants would've taken the route of H1 -> GreenCard -> US citizen. The companies started by those immigrants employ thousands of Americans and millions in tax revenue. Then why is America so hostile towards the same high-skilled immigration system which in the long run benefits America. Why are Sen. Durbin so short sighted on the high-skilled immigration system? Hope Obama can look at the high-skilled immigration system with a long term perspective and persuade his colleagues in Congress to enact a legislation to fix this broken system. <br /> <br /> Here is the link to the NFAP report which I talked about<br /> <br /> http://www.nfap.com/researchactivities/studies/immigrant_entreprenuers_professionals_november_200 6.pdf</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-3764503020869640672011-07-12T17:03:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.609-07:00wedges for womenimages Cleveland Women#39;s W-Series <img src="http://www.tonybianco.com.au/siteimages%255Cwedgescategorybar.jpg" alt="wedges for women. range of modern women#39;s wedges" title="range of modern women#39;s wedges" width="470" <br><li>range of modern women#39;s wedges</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">sanju</div><div class="date">05-17 01:50 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Of course I don't work for a consulting company.

No, they are about the fear of where China is heading (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peterfoster/100087793/free-ai-weiwei-protests-are-condescending-no-they-are-about-the-fear-of-where-china-is-heading/) By Peter Foster | Telegraph Blog<br /> <br /> China is smarting over the negative publicity that has accompanied its arrest of Ai Weiwei. The Deputy Foreign Minister, Mme Fu Ying, who is the former Chinese Ambassador to Britain, said in Hungary yesterday that Europe and America were being �condescending� towards China by their refusal to just shut up about the arrested artist.<br /> <br /> Earlier a hurt-sounding foreign ministry spokesman said China was �unhappy� and �baffled� that some countries were trying to treat a �crime suspect as a hero�.<br /> <br /> Both of these highly disingenuous remarks are designed to touch a key nationalist button in China in which all criticisms of China are framed as part of a plot by the waning Old Imperial powers to constrain the :Dglorious rise of the new China:D. It is a seductive narrative, but also a fallacious one that needs to be squashed.<br /> <br /> In a globalised economy the US and the EU have a �common interest� in China�s peaceful rise, and on the evidence of the last few months (you might say years, going back to the crushing of the pre-Olympic Tibetan crackdowns of 2008) they have legitimate cause to be worried about the direction China is taking.<br /> <br /> Ai is merely a lightning rod for that concern.<br /> <br /> China is absolutely correct that the US and EU have no �right� to interfere in its judicial affairs, and nor do they seek to. But that doesn�t mean that democratic governments and their citizens don�t have a duty (to themselves, as much as anything else) to speak out about Ai Weiwei, and what his detention might portend.<br /> <br /> China talks about Ai being a �crime suspect�, but the fact that hardly anyone outside China (and a fair number inside China) have any confidence in the due process of the Chinese law should in itself give Beijing serious pause for thought.<br /> <br /> Popular concerns about Ai are not, as Mme Fu would have it, some silly political point-scoring game. His detention is an expression of naked State power that Europeans and Americans, who lived through totalitarianism not so long ago, find both worrying and revolting.<br /> <br /> So when someone asks, as the Chinese do, �what�s it to us?�, the immediate answer should be �absolutely everything�.<br /> <br /> China is going to shake the world over the next 50 years � for good or ill � and the shape of the Chinese state is therefore of concern to us all. China can bluster all it likes, it can posture and ignore the criticisms, but modern China does not exist in isolation.<br /> <br /> It has emerged as a rising power precisely because it has engaged with the world, signing up to a host of international agreements on trade and politics that imply certain norms of behaviour. The benefits of rejoining the world community can�t come, as Chinese foreign policy mandarins say, with �no strings attached�.<br /> <br /> This is why the democratic world feels that Ai�s detention is worth shouting about. It signals a deeply worrying trend in China and while Mme Fu tries to spin these protests as mere �condescension� they are nothing of the kind.<br /> <br /> They are about the real fear of where China is heading.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ai Weiwei and China�s assault on truth (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/may/12/ai-weiwei-and-chinas-assault-on-truth/) By Phelim Kine | The Washington Times<br /> CHINA'S MEDIA:<br /> A STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE (http://www.themontrealreview.com/2009/China-Media-a-Struggle-for-Independence.php)<br /> By James F.

It will be impossible for the government not respond to the war started by Pakistan. <br /> <br /> Just like Kargil, this is now an old trick. Pakistan used soilders from its army to attack Kargil and later claimed that those people were not from Pakistan. Its like a joke that rain falling from the sky is not coming from the clouds. Mushraff played this trick in Kargil and got rid of Shraif. Kayanai is using Mushraff's play book and wants to get rid of Zardari. US wants to think that Zardari is democratically elected government. The problem is he has no power. Kayanai is calling the shots and he wants to be the President. But for Kayani to become President, there is no reason for India to be at the receiving end. Attackers have come from Pakistan. Pakistan has to pay the price.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/107650579/Voyage_44_Qupid_Women_Wedges.jpg" alt="wedges for women.

The symbolic gesture -- casting nay votes on approving the House Journal, essentially the minutes of the previous day -- would have no bearing on the leadership's agenda.<br /> <br /> While they overwhelmingly support that agenda, the bloc of freshmen has begun casting votes against such minor procedural motions in an effort, Democratic sources and Republican critics say, to demonstrate their independence from their leadership. The number of votes that the potentially vulnerable newcomers to Capitol Hill cast against House leaders is tallied and watched closely by interest groups and political foes.<br /> <br /> Such is the political life of many of the 42 freshman House Democrats, a sizable number of them moderates and conservatives who must straddle the fence between supporting their party's interests and distancing themselves from a mostly liberal leadership as they gear up for their first reelection battle next fall.<br /> <br /> House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other members of the party's leadership are happy to tolerate the independence on procedural matters. Less than three hours after opposing the late-October journal vote, the same six freshmen sided with Pelosi as Democrats tried, and failed, to override President Bush's veto of a bill to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program by $35 billion over five years, legislation that Pelosi has called her "crown jewel."<br /> <br /> "I'm viewed as an independent. I'm viewed as a conservative Democrat," said Rep. Jason Altmire (Pa.), the first freshman to regularly oppose his party's leadership on the journal vote.<br /> <br /> Like several others, Altmire offered no explanation for voting against all but one of 18 roll calls on the routine measure, adding that he had no "pre-planned" rationale for the votes. "I'm certainly not going to win or lose my reelection based on my journal votes," he said.<br /> <br /> But the first reelection campaign in his conservative-leaning western Pennsylvania district could be a tough one. Bush won there by a comfortable nine percentage points in 2004. Districts such as Altmire's fueled the Democratic takeover of the House last year. They are blue-collar in attitude and red-hued in politics, particularly on issues such as abortion and gun rights.<br /> <br /> Dubbed the "majority makers" by Pelosi's leadership team, the freshmen have become a major front in the Democrats' battle to sustain and expand their majority next fall.<br /> <br /> Stuart Rothenberg, an independent analyst and author of the Rothenberg Political Report, said Republican hopes for shrinking the Democratic majority begin with what he calls "snapback candidates," who rode into office under the last election cycle's optimal conditions for Democrats and now face their first reelection contests.<br /> <br /> Protecting the 42 freshman Democrats, the largest partisan class since 73 Republicans took office in 1994, has been the top priority for key Democratic strategists such as Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.). The freshmen get special treatment from leaders, including a weekly meeting with Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (Md.). And they receive frequent advice on how to vote from Emanuel and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.<br /> <br /> Seven of the rookies have more than $1 million in cash on hand, and according to Rothenberg, more than half are in safe positions to win reelection. In addition, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee holds a more than 11-to-1 cash advantage over its Republican counterpart, a potential financial backstop for endangered freshmen.<br /> <br /> But the political environment has turned toxic in recent months as Democrats have been stymied in their effort to take Congress in their self-proclaimed new direction. Opinion polls show public approval ratings for Congress mired in the 20s, considerably lower than Bush's rating.<br /> <br /> In recent months, Democrats in battleground districts have been criticized by Republicans, who have tried to paint them as close to the new House leadership.<br /> <br /> "While these Democrats might claim to be independent voices for their districts, the differences between them and Nancy Pelosi are purely aesthetic," said Ken Spain, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. This year, the GOP committee launched a Web site to track the percentage of votes that 28 of the freshmen cast with Pelosi, whom Republicans say will be a polarizing figure in conservative districts next fall.<br /> <br /> That is why procedural votes are important to freshmen, according to Democratic aides. House Republicans this year turned to a procedure known as a "motion to recommit," offering what is typically a routine method of sending bills back to committee as politically charged amendments. With a wink and a nod from Emanuel and Hoyer, some endangered freshmen frequently vote with Republicans on tricky GOP motions to keep their votes from being used against them in 30-second campaign sound bites.<br /> <br /> Some freshman Democrats have taken the idea of voting against their party leadership on procedural votes one step further, opposing mundane matters such as the journal vote.<br /> <br /> Altmire has sided with the opposition in 17 of 18 journal roll calls this year. Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) has cast 15 votes with the GOP. In the spring, only a few freshmen voted against the journal, but one recent vote drew 13 freshmen in opposition, and in another, 11 voted nay. Now a half-dozen or more regularly oppose whenever a roll call is held.<br /> <br /> Democratic leaders acknowledge that they have encouraged the freshmen to sometimes vote with Republicans on politically difficult issues, but deny that they have had any input on the Congressional Record votes.<br /> <br /> "We've given them very simple advice: Make sure you vote your district," Van Hollen said.<br /> <br /> As a result, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), for example, has one of the lowest party-unity voting scores -- less than 84 percent -- of any House Democrat, according to washingtonpost.com's congressional database. The average House Democrat has voted with the majority on 92.5 percent of all votes.<br /> <br /> "They're trying to create separation. Our guys did it in '95 and '96," said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), a member of the GOP class of 1994.<br /> <br /> At the time, freshman Republicans saw congressional popularity plummet during a budget fight that led to a series of federal government shutdowns. Fearful of being tied closely to then-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), many freshmen also began voting no on the journal in a similar effort to distance themselves.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.nakorica.com/en/referstats/pages/masoko.net">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://cdn2.iofferphoto.com/img3/item/207/626/170/women-prevalent-wedges-shoes-single-shoes-black-purple-52245.jpg" alt="wedges for women.

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.<br /> <br /> Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed!<br /> <br /> I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is...and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus!<br /> <br /> While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!"<br /> <br /> What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!<br /> <br /> There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.<br /> <br /> Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing ... he was enjoying this religious experience, too!<br /> <br /> A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.<br /> <br /> Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!<br /> <br /> Love,<br /> <br /> Grandma</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo Voyage-44 Qupid Women Wedges <img src="http://www.shopaholicmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/w-coral-canvas-wedges-h-s11.jpeg" alt="wedges for women.

The default level is 3% a year, meaning the $300,000 home would be worth $309,000 after one year, $318,270 after two years and so forth.<br /> <br /> Reduce that figure to 1% and the break even period jumps to 4.8 years. At 0% it's 7.2 years.<br /> <br /> These days, 0% appreciation is not all that bad. The calculator won't take a negative number, but it's easy to imagine what would happen if, for example, prices were to drop by 5% a year for three years, then resume a 3% annual increase. Your home would lose about 15% of its value in three years and would then take five more to get back to where you started, a total of eight years.<br /> <br /> With appreciation continuing at 3% it would take another 2.5 years to break even once commissions, taxes and other factors were taken into account. So it probably wouldn't pay to buy this home unless you expected to stay there for more than 10.5 years. <br /> <br /> But there's no doubt that periods of low home-price appreciation or falling home values dramatically undermine any financial benefits of owning over renting. <br /> ---------------------</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://idearef.net/15173">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup $50.00. cheaper sandals NINE <img src="http://cdn1.iofferphoto.com/img3/item/213/729/632/christi-an-lou-boutin-women-s-wedges-patent-sandals-60478.jpg" alt="wedges for women. -women-s-wedges-patent-" title="-women-s-wedges-patent-" width="470" <br><li>-women-s-wedges-patent-</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">sk2006</div><div class="date">06-05 02:48 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">This is a very healthy discussion!!.<br /> My two cents.<br /> <br /> Buying a house is the best decision no matter what, if you can get for a good price(price u can afford) at a GOOD LOCATION!!!. I think location is more important...<br /> As far as real estate investment is concerned.. It is <br /> LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION..<br /> <br /> Nothing...else..!! .. Even if you are in H1B or GC if you know that u can stick to one job for a while and u get a house in a good location... this is the best time to invest!!<br /> <br /> <br /> Partially true.<br /> In good locations prices are falling slowly but that does not mean they can't fall as much as they have fallen in other areas.<br /> <br /> The primary reason for the big boom in housing was not Rising incomes or rising affordability. It was not even Demand and Supply of Real Estate like may Real estate agents would tell you..<br /> <br /> It was Demand and Supply of Easy Credit.<br /> <br /> Days are easy credit are gone and we would not see it again atleast not for many many years to come. With Real wages falling and unemployment rising there is no way housing prices will rise any time soon. First they have to stop falling!<br /> <br /> So buy a house if rent and mortgage(+tax+maintenace) are comparable and you plan to stay in the area for long time. And for next many years don't look at the value of your house on zillow.com</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />girlfriend TOMS Canvas Wedge Coral Women <img src="http://assets1.golfdiscount.com/products/4499/large/cleveland-women-s-w-series-588-rs-wedges.jpg" alt="wedges for women.

But I see a few issues with it:<br /> <br /> You are complaining to DOS about USCIS and DOL. That will not work. Every agency has a specific role<br /> [I am going to include USICS Address and Fax's numbers also]<br /> <br /> You are complaining to the official who sets visa dates. He has no authority to give relief just because some applicant/s are asking for it. He has to follow the rule every month and his responsibility is only to set the dates based on the statistics received from USCIS. This official has a very specific and limited role.<br /> <br /> The reasons are not compelling enough. You cannot just say you are waiting long enough and thus your date should become current. Rules cannot be changed just for that reason.<br /> <br /> [with due respect ...How did the rules suddenly change to favour eb-2]..I am not against it..just want to know?<br /> <br /> If economy was down in 2001- 2003 and you were asked to file in EB3 and people in Perm could file in EB2 is your strongest reason, it may not work in your favor. Because by law you can file again and convert to EB2 and port your date. DOL and USCIS does not stop you from doing that.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> If you are qualified for EB2 but your attorney and employer filed in EB3, then it is not a fault of USCIS/DOL/DOS. You must talk to the company and the lawyer for it. If the company or the lawyer has broken any rule or employer has exploited you, then the letter should be complain to the appropriate authority about them.<br /> <br /> [This statement is not entirely true...Lawyers have DOL/USICS contacts] and acts in a way that the application will get approved ...most times looking at the trend and talking to DOL contacts and adjudicators...]<br /> <br /> Please also note that labor is filed based on the degree and experience requirement of the job. By law if the requirement is only undergraduate degree for the job, the employer cannot file in EB2 just because the applicant has a masters degree or more experience than needed. So you cannot really put this arguement here because it will be against the rules.<br /> <br /> So I personally do not think this idea will work.<br /> <br /> [could you suggest a solution..you know that legislation cannot work this year so what needs to be done??]<br /> <br /> While this mess is depressing for EB3 folks, we need to have a more compelling argument, determined membership and effective plan to get things changed.<br /> <br /> The root cause of the problem is limited greencard quota for EB3. And the solution is to get recapture, get rid of country limits, STEM exemption. Any single relief itself will be huge for all of us. With 179 phone calls and $16656 collected in last 3 months, I do not see that happening. It will need a far more bigger and determined effort. Such amount can be spent on full scale lobbying in just one month. 179 phone calls are nothing if we have to make a compelling case for ourselves.<br /> <br /> [Eb-3-I is also participating in calling and contributing..]<br /> <br /> [For people suggesting that the letter is weak..could you give an idea as the what written in letter would work..]</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hairstyles Women-prevalent-wedges <img src="http://www.shoes4louisvuitton.com/images/New%2520LV%2520Women%2520Slippers%2520Sandals%2520Wedges%2520Toe%2520Brown%2520%2520%2520Shoes.jpg" alt="wedges for women.

Like labor subsitution scandal/abuse, you should have a documenterly evidence to go after this scam (creating duplicate EB2 job just to cut-short the line). If it is a USCIS rule, they may ripoff this ( like labor sub.). It is long way to go. The nut shell-- as long us GC is in high demand, people abuse the system. DOL, USCIS, knows this. Thatswhy DOL is auditing most EB2 labor certification. In my view, who ever filed EB2 between 2000 to 2004 (when EB3 was current) are true-EB2. After 2005, most of the EB2 filings are cut-short the EB3 que. Most of the cases not based on actual MINIMUM requirements for the job. Everyone knows this..<br /> <br /> Please stop with this. this is truly offensive. Many of us happen to be truly qualified beyond your clarly limited imagination. Not all of us are in IT, not all of us work in body shops and NOT all of us deal with fraud in our lives. If a few do, then go chase the, and stop tarring us all with the same brush. This is really akin to my saying (and I'm not saying it) that all EB3 folks are just IT diploma holders working for body shops and the whole category is just a fruad.

Can you point me in right direction as to where I find information regarding the current immigration laws and their interpretations.<br /> <br /> <br /> I'll tell you how I did it:<br /> <br /> 1) USCIS administrative appeals office decisions (can be found by navigating around USCIS.GOV<br /> <br /> 2) USCIS memos/interpretations/policies (can also be found on uscis)<br /> <br /> 3) Go to department of state web-site. Navigate around it and you will find links to their procedures and interpretations<br /> <br /> 4) monitor the forums and see postings<br /> <br /> 5) immigration portal used to have links or summaries to AILA liaision minutes with service centers<br /> <br /> 6) people used to send me their rfe's, denials and what they lawyers did to get them into the mess. Basically learning how people got into a mess and what uscis did to catch them or to deny their cases<br /> <br /> 7) go to dol.gov and look for foreign labor certification; there are FAQ's on perm labors and h-1b<br /> <br /> <br /> 8) go to uscis.gov and read the INA and CFR's<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> If a person is used to reading laws and understanding the hierarchy and then intertwining uscis procedure along with the various service center procedure then you will start to get a clearer understanding.<br /> <br /> All of the information is public. Don't rely on what your friend told you as they usually only know what someone else told them.<br /> <br /> I had a non compete agreement when I left my employer and couldn't work for one year. During that year; I had nothing to do other then watch tv and watch the portal. No matter how small a question was asked/posted I researched it through all the sources I mentioned above.<br /> <br /> Finally; don't do what you think is right or "gut feeling"...<br /> <br /> <br /> Research it; research it and research it some more.

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.<br /> <br /> Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed!<br /> <br /> I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is...and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus!<br /> <br /> While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!"<br /> <br /> What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!<br /> <br /> There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.<br /> <br /> Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing ... he was enjoying this religious experience, too!<br /> <br /> A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.<br /> <br /> Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!<br /> <br /> Love,<br /> <br /> Grandma</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://img2.allvoices.com/thumbs/event/900/570/65162519-princess-caroline.jpg" alt="charlotte casiraghi caroline.

You come into USA on white I-94 card and they gave validity until July 2009.<br /> <br /> Now; you file for change of employer and extend status until July 2010. The notice of action will have the same I-94 number as the date of your last entry.<br /> <br /> Now; you go outside USA; on your way back in the port of entry officer mistakenly gives you a white I-94 card only valid until your visa expires (july 2009). Now; if you overstay July 2009 then you would have been considered to be unlawfully present from July 2009. <br /> <br /> Bottom line: your last action generally overrules your stay.<br /> <br /> Such mistakes can be corrected by CBP defered inspectors but they will only correct typo errors by the CBP at POE .

You will think that when h1b consultants go away, you will fall ahead in the queue and get ur GC. But my dear friend, the intent of this bill is different. IEEE USA, PG etc.. have members who are American citizens and a lot of them may be your own collegues at work and will be encouraging you to support their cause saying it benefits you.<br /> Once consulting is banned, and when your own American collegues know it is banned and consulting company cannot hire h1b, they will be after your job. They will make conditions miswerable for u at workplace and life will get worse and you will not have any options left for you but to lead a screwed up life.<br /> If you get fired or layed off, you will be left with no option at all. Remember, while cost cutting, companies will get rid of h1bs before they get rid of citizens, no matter how much u hang on to your job and how much u perform. Basic fact is that your are despensible.<br /> Their only aim in life is to get rid of all Asians especially Indians and Chinese and reduce their numbers drastically, they will follow any tool or weapon. Don't believe their sweet words and their intent to help you. You must help yourself and help IV.<br /> <br /> Though I do agree that h1b body shops indulge in irregular practices, this is common to any company. Look at biggies like msft, google etcc. they have an entire legal team working hard to workaround any system and utilize loopholes in the system. Thats how businesses survive and make money. Business means "no ethics". So just do not rationalize yourselves by claiming that you know everything. It all boils down to survival of the fittest and it is how you handle situations. Lets all not be selfish and be divided among ourselves.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 Charlotte Casiraghi <img src="http://img.allvoices.com/thumbs/event/598/486/65162524-charlotte-casiraghi.jpg" alt="charlotte casiraghi caroline. charlotte casiraghi caroline." title="charlotte casiraghi caroline." width="470" <br><li>charlotte casiraghi caroline.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">chintu25</div><div class="date">08-22 11:23 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">:D<br /> <br /> <br /> "Some good news for the economy. President went on a month-long vacation." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "The federal government announced today that the recession ended back in November of 2001. It ended two years ago! Be sure to pass that on to all your unemployed friends. So you know what that means? The past twenty months of job layoffs, corporate bankruptcies and declining stocks, those were the good times. We should have been living it up." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "Yesterday Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he would be willing to serve another term. Greenspan said, 'Where else would I get a job in this economy?'" �Conan O'Brien<br /> <br /> "Democrats were quick to point out that President 's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.'" �Craig Kilborn<br /> <br /> <br /> "President unveiled his new economic stimulus plan this week. It was reported that if the plan passes, the president himself would save $44,000 in taxes, Dick Cheney would save $327,000, and you could afford to take the whole family down to Burger King to pick up job applications." �Tina Fey, on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"<br /> <br /> "President 's economic plan will create 2.5 million new jobs. The bad news, they are all for Iraqi soldiers." �Craig Kilborn<br /> <br /> "According to a new study, bad economic times can actually be good for you because people tend to exercise more and eat better. This is not a recession, this is the President�s Health Care Plan." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "The big story here tonight comes from Washington, D.C. where President announced his new economic plans. The centerpiece was a proposed repeal of the dividends tax on stocks, a boon that could be worth millions of dollars to average Americans. Well, average stock owning Americans. Technically, Americans who own a significant amount of shares in dividend dealing companies. Well, rich people, that's what I'm trying to say. They're going to do really well with this." �Jon Stewart<br /> <br /> "Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neal has resigned. He didn't want to resign, but there wasn't any money left in the treasury so he's got nothing to do." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> " Presidents advisers have long been worried that a lagging economy could hamper the president's re-election chances. They hope that the Cabinet shake-up will provide a needed jolt. If that doesn't work, North Korea has to go." �Jon Stewart<br /> <br /> "Al Gore says President�s economic plan has zero chance of working. Now, this raises on important question: President has an economic plan?" �David Letterman<br /> <br /> "President said today that it is our job to vote. That's what he called it, a job. And considering how the way economy is going, that may be the only job we have." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "The same week the administration slashed pay raises for all federal workers, they announced they are going to provide bonuses to political appointees who do a good job. You know, that guy who cut everyone else's pay, he gets the bonus." �Jay Leno <br /> <br /> "The Stock Market was down today. Two major businesses declared bankruptcy, consumer spending is at an all time low � in other words, president is back on the job." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "President hosted something called the President's Economic Forum down in Waco, Texas today. Waco. Apparently Jonestown and Guyana were booked up. When I think of government policy that works, Waco is the place to go. He invited members of small business to the summit. He was going to invite big business, but they're all in jail." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "President told the attendees (at his economic forum) that he wants to simplify the numbers on Wall Street so that people can understand what they are looking at. Simplify the numbers? We are already looking at single digits!" �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "In a speech yesterday in Milwaukee, President vowed to do whatever it takes to keep the economy strong. In fact he said that if he needs to, he will take vacation for another three months." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "There's now speculation in Washington that President is now planning to increase the economic sanctions on Iraq. And let me tell you if they are half as tough as the economic sanctions he has imposed on this country, they are screwed." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "President is leaving the White House for a vacation. He's taking a month off. Yeah, take a break, you deserve it. But aides say that while on vacation, will continue to make two or three speeches a week to make sure that the market keeps crashing." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "Boy, another bad day on Wall Street. Things are getting ugly. Dow Jones is starting to look more like Paula Jones." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "Do you have any idea how cheap stocks are now? Wall Street is now being called Wal-Mart Street." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> "The United States has developed a new weapon that destroys people but it leaves buildings standing. It's called the stock market." �Jay Leno<br /> <br /> <br /> "The economy is in big trouble. Yesterday in a big speech, President said the economy was still getting over the hangover from the 90's. And then, the president admitted he was still getting over his hangover from the 80's." �Conan O'Brien</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://undermyskin.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://royalweddings.hellomagazine.com/imagenes//prince-albert-monaco-charlene-wittstock/20110701742/monac-royal-wedding-eagles-concert/0-2-854/eagles-charlotte-caroline--z.jpg" alt="charlotte casiraghi caroline.

The public supports this and the default political assumption is in support of continued immigration. According to a recent poll, only a third of Canadians believe immigration is more of a problem than an opportunity, far fewer than any other country included in the survey. Rather, Canadians are concerned about "brain waste" and ensuring that foreign credentials are appropriately recognised and rewarded in the job market? Being an immigrant is also no barrier to being a proper Canadian; in parliamentary elections earlier this month, 11% of the people elected were not native. This warm embrace isn't just a liberal abstraction; 20% of Canadians are foreign-born.<br /> <br /> It's well-known that Canada is an outlier among immigrant nations, but it is nonetheless interesting to consider in reference to the ongoing and heated debate about immigration in the United States. Why is Canadian public opinion so different from views in United States?<br /> <br /> At a conference yesterday, Jeffrey Reitz, a sociologist at the University of Toronto, cited two big explanations for the difference. The first was that Canadians are convinced of the positive economic benefits of immigration�to the extent that towns under economic duress are especially keen to promote immigration, because they believe immigrants will create jobs. Even unemployed Canadians will stoutly insist that immigrants do not take work away from the native born. This makes sense, as most immigrants to Canada are authorised under a "points" system tied to their credentials and employment potential. About half of Canadian immigrants have bachelor's degrees. They may have a higher unemployment rate than native-born workers, Mr Reitz said, and they benefit from programmes and services created specially for immigrants, such as language training. But the preponderance of evidence suggests that Canada's immigrants, being high-skilled, are net contributors.<br /> <br /> Mr Reitz's second explanation was that Canadians see multiculturalism as an important component of national identity. In one public opinion poll, Mr Reitz said, multiculturalism was deemed less important than national health care but more important than the flag, the Mounties, and hockey. Irene Bloemraad, a sociologist at the University of California at Berkeley, picked up this theme. There wasn't such a thing as a purely Canadian passport, she said, until 1947. Canada was, psychosocially, very much a part of the British commonwealth until quite recently. When it came time to create a distinctively Canadian identity, the country included a large and vocal Francophone minority (as well as a considerable number of first peoples). The necessity of bilingualism contributed to a broader public commitment to multiculturalism, which persists today.<br /> <br /> Other factors allow Canada to be more inviting. The country has little reason to worry about illegal immigration. Like the United States, it shares a long southern border with a country suffering from high levels of crime, unemployment and income inequality. But there aren't millions of Americans yearning to get into Canada. To put it another way, the United States's buffer zone from the eager masses is a shallow river. Canada's is the United States. That reduces unauthorised migration to Canada and eases public anxiety about it. Canada also has a smaller population and lower birth rate than the United States�it needs immigrants for population growth.<br /> <br /> Incidentally, the emphasis on multiculturalism points to an interesting normative distinction between the United States and Canada. The United States supports pluralism and in some respect this leads to similar structures in the two countries. (Ms Bloemraad mentioned that both the United States and Canada have unusually robust legal protections against discrimination, for example.) But in the United States, you rarely hear somebody advocate for immigration on the grounds that it adds to the social fabric of the country. When the normative argument arises here, it has a humanitarian dimension. I would posit that in the United States, identity is a right, not a value.<br /> <br /> Still, looking at Canada, we can extrapolate a few things for the United States. The first is that, as we've previously discussed here, the United States really should be more open to high-skilled immigrants. They're good for the economy, and an uptick in demonstrably uncontroversial immigrants might mitigate anxiety about the group as a whole. Another is that while there may be benefits to the tacit acceptance of undocumented immigration�the United States acquires an immigrant labour force without making any accommodations for the population�there are also foregone opportunities. One of these, compared to the Canadian approach, is in the United States's ability to foster integration through language training or other settlement programmes.<br /> <br /> <br /> Losing (but Loving) the Green Card Lottery (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/opinion/20mounk.html) By YASCHA MOUNK | New York Times<br /> We Need Sane Immigration Reform (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703509104576330110520111554.html) Letters | Wall Street Journal<br /> U.S. to investigate Secure Communities deportation program (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-secure-communities-20110519,0,3087175.story) By Lee Romney | Los Angeles Times</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://postmaster.postmaster.warungxxx.net/29825-novogodnee-puteshestvie-1959-dvdrip.html">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup Charlotte Casiraghi, <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DqztY-vO7bs/Tg3JUoxrS8I/AAAAAAAAFlw/ZgBWO_rHJIE/s1600/carlota-casiraghi--a.jpg" alt="charlotte casiraghi caroline. charlotte casiraghi caroline." title="charlotte casiraghi caroline." width="470" <br><li>charlotte casiraghi caroline.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">srkamath</div><div class="date">07-13 04:32 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Peace!

"Everyone" does not have your cavalier attitude towards truth. <br /> <br /> My problem is not with consultants or nurses or doctors or magicians or whoever else is in line. My problem is with those who claim to be legal aliens but who routinely break the rules (by indulging in kickback schemes like splitting their salary with their employer). <br /> <br /> IV is a community of/for legal aliens wanting to become legal immigrants. Rule-breakers and others don't belong here; just because one hasn't been caught cheating the system doesn't mean one is legal.<br /> <br /> There are thousands of real estate agents who charge 3% commission for sale of homes. Buyer's agent gets 3% and seller's agent gets 3%. It takes a total of 6% in commissions of real estate agents when you sell your house. <br /> <br /> Of those 3% commission that each agents get, the pass on 1% to the agency. Like if a Remax or century 21 agent gets $3000 in commission, he/she has to give $1000 to the agency and keep $2000.<br /> <br /> SO going by that principle, "kickbacks" as you would call it, would not be legal? Right?<br /> <br /> Everywhere, a portion of revenue, if the employee generates revenue for the employer goes to employer. That's how employer keeps his lights on and feeds his/her family.<br /> <br /> Now there are some who exploit this to their advantage. And that should be fixed. One way to fix it is to limit certain holds and loosen the grip of employers on the greencards petition of employees. Completely destroying the consulting business is not the answer to that as this bill tries to do.<br /> <br /> If you are working "Like a dog" then you should get paid overtime for anything beyond 40 hours. Its a part of negotiation and its your responsibility to negotiate that with your employer before joining the project.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">burnt</div><div class="date">03-31 06:36 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Today I received a call from my lawyers office asking me whether my wife had taken the TB test as we skipped that test when we applied for I-485 in July 2007 as my wife was expecting at that time.

So, compared that to my $1200 rental, it is still wise choice. Isn't it?<br /> <br /> As per Zillow estimate, the value of the house I bought already appreciated by $10k above the purchase price. <br /> <br /> For the sake of discussion that it did not appreciate in the next 10 years (which I doubt because there's no other way to go but up) but the value stayed at purchase price, as per my amortization schedule, my loan would be at 75% of the purchase value. It means therefore that I already have a 25% equity of the house, which is $60k. <br /> <br /> If I saved the $250 per month at zero interest, I would have $30k. I don't know where you can find 5% interest p.a. investment today but for the sake of argument that I found one, I think I can't get the $60k at the end of 10th yr.<br /> <br /> Off topic - but I hope you have done a proper inspection with an independent inspection agency.<br /> <br /> 99% of all Houses built after 2000 (i.e. during the boom time) are notorious for bad build quality.

Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man. <br /> <br /> But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. <br /> <br /> As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man "what do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" <br /> <br /> The man replied "I work for the IRS."</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://guendalina.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://nimg.sulekha.com/entertainment/thumbnailfull/steve-carell-nancy-carell-2009-9-20-21-11-21.jpg" alt="steve carrells wife. makeup Steve Carell and his" title="makeup Steve Carell and his" width="470" <br><li>makeup Steve Carell and his</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">texcan</div><div class="date">08-06 05:26 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">A man was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present.

We have, 'Barbie goes to the gym'for $19.95 ...<br /> <br /> 'Barbie goes to the Ball' for $19.95 ...<br /> <br /> 'Barbie goes shopping for $19.95 ...<br /> <br /> 'Barbie goes to the beach' for $19.95...<br /> <br /> 'Barbie goes to the Nightclub' for $19.95 ...<br /> <br /> and 'Divorced Barbie' for $375.00."<br /> <br /> "Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95?"

Or how much you make and all other parameters you need to consider while buying your primary residential home. If you are in the home flipping business please ignore the post.<br /> <br /> There is too much data out there which says housing will go down for at least another year, and will then stay flat for a long time.<br /> <br /> I know home is not an investment. But buying something when you know its gonna lose value just does not make sense even with all the credits + low interest rate out there. For me the most important thing is the total principal you pay to buy the home. Everything else are cheap gimmicks. Its like a car salesman saying you monthly payment for this car is only $200, but wait you will be paying this $200 for the next 10 years instead of 5. Or a Bank saying you get $50 to open an account etc. Also as others pointed out even in 2004/2005 there was enough data being floated that the housing bubble will crash, but i guess lot of people just ignored it. <br /> <br /> If you need a house for luxury, Go ahead and rent one for the next couple of years. Not sure why people think renting restricts them to only small apartments. I am pretty sure renting a house in today's market will be lot cheaper than buying. I am currently renting a home and very happy in it.<br /> <br /> Also consider that housing market is not as volatile as the stock market. So once the correction is complete it will take a long time for the appreciation curve to kick in. So timing the housing market dynamics would be different compared to the stock market.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.emakins.com/viewfile.php?cat=games&id=517">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://snarkfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/steve-carell-store.jpg" alt="steve carrells wife. should tell Steve Carell" title="should tell Steve Carell" width="470" <br><li>should tell Steve Carell</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">unitednations</div><div class="date">03-26 08:04 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">With regards to h-1b processing; if you file an h-1b and you are silent as to the work location on the i-129 and you get an lca for your h-1b office location and then USCIS gives you an rfe for a client letter.<br /> <br /> You get a client letter in a different location and did not have an lca for that location prior to the receipt date of the h-1b filing then USCIS will deny the h-1b saying that it wasn't approvable when filed. Therefore, because of this USCIS is essentially saying that you are only getting h-1b approval for the work location specified in the petition when it was filed. It does not include a blanket approval to work at multiple locations.<br /> <br /> Therefore; one should always amend the h-1b for different work location. Everytime you amend; you have to pay uscis/lawyer fees and are at risk of getting rfe everytime.<br /> <br /> With regards to greencard. You don't have to work at the location required in the labor until the greencard gets approved. Most labors state job location is "various unanticipated locations across usa". If it has this statement then you are covered and don't have to locate to the office of the company; you can work in any location.<br /> <br /> If there is not such an annotation in the labor then to make it 100% legal you should go and work in the location covered by the labor. However, as the baltimore decision stated; you can use ac21 for a different locaiton with same employer. Therefore, if 485 is pending more then six months and greencard gets approved; you have essentially used ac21 without even knowing it.<br /> <br /> I do know a few cases where attorney did labor in location of where persons client was located. However, if person has shifted to another location then it would be impossible to justify it legally that you will go back there when greencard gets approved because that job would no longer exist.<br /> <br /> There are a lot of complexities involved in this. It just goes to show that on a whim; uscis can do a lot of things to make peoples lives miserable.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair Office#39; star Steve Carell <img src="http://thehollywoodhotspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/steve-carrell-opens-up-to-ellen-after-emothional-office-departure-photos-2.jpg" alt="steve carrells wife. steve carell kids. girlfriend" title="steve carell kids. girlfriend" width="470" <br><li>steve carell kids. girlfriend</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">CreatedToday</div><div class="date">01-06 04:21 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">:confused:You don't believe this, but you believed when mullahs said, it was Israel and Jews behind 9/11!

Mortgage rates are tied to 10 year bond rate, so they generally are not affected much by short term fed rate. With credit crunch, bond market is in real bad shape.<br /> Fed is trying to supply short term funds to ease this crunch. I don't know how low Fed will go for this. What I am seeing is mortgage rates being stable or going down a little in near term bcoz of Fed easing. For long term, I believe rates will go up as bonds have to become attractive to get new investors.This may not be the best ( absolute bottom) but definitely very good time to refinance if it makes sense for your conditions.<br /> For first time buyers like me, there are a lot of parameters to be considered. In my opinion the parameters are tilted towards faster house price drop . Hence I am waiting at least for a year. I will not do anything till next spring.<br /> > Hence I am waiting at least for a year. I will not do anything till next spring.<br /> Perfect ....exactly the same timeline for me too.

Rents are holding steady in CA, so calculations might play a bit differently in CA.<br /> <br /> First of all, 5% is not available today for 30 yr fixed, its more like 5.25%. Another attractive option could be 5 year ARM or 7 year ARM if you can make additional payments for the principal, it will significantly bring down the principal amount owed at the end of first 5 years if you make CONSISTENT (per month) additional payments.<br /> <br /> I live in WA, I searched MLS & zillow for recently sold homes, most homes are going for 15-20% less than owner asked priced. Avg 3 bedroom house price here is 500K.<br /> <br /> 1. I do not qualify for tax rebate offered this year due to income level restrictions (spouse works)<br /> 2. Rents in Seattle have fallen steeply. Last year (aug), I was searching for apartment, I was offered at 1600 or 1700. The same apartment is now going for 1450. Some have fallen more steeply upto 1200 of the same class. I can get a very good/posh 2 bedroom apt for 1050 USD per month in today's date if I move out 5 miles more. It was unthinkable in seattle area 1 yr back. <br /> <br /> As you said, monthly payment on a 500 K house comes to around 2750 USD, thats true even in seattle. Thats 1750 USD more than the rent or atleast 1500 USD more than the rent. <br /> <br /> The gamble would be to stay in 1050 rent house for 2 more years and save bigger nest for downpayment. And prepare for the prices to fall more. say 25% more.<br /> <br /> Even if I offer current owners 20% less , the math does not make sense for me. Hence I am expecting 30% -35% correction from current expectations of the owners. <br /> <br /> Dont get me wrong, the owners would still be making a profit on homes constructed before 2003 even if there were 30% more correction. <br /> <br /> One thing we all know for sure is , home prices are not about to go up spectacularly. Maybe 30-40 K up in 2 years from now. When you are thinking of 10-20 year deals, thats not a lot, its peanuts :)<br /> <br /> As of now, I am thinking of buying a nice car instead of a house, since I can talk down car owners equally and since my GC is in geopardy, buying a car for now makes better sense. :)<br /> <br /> As someone said we should consider luxury of a house. I have rented one townhome for 1500 a month for which my neighbour is making 2800 USD payment, go figure :)</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-19208215546619651082011-07-12T12:06:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.609-07:00nicole trunfio jewelryimages tattoo nicole trunfio jewelry. <img src="http://www.nicoletrunfio.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/93880982.jpg" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry. by Nicole Trunfio 04 dec 09" title="by Nicole Trunfio 04 dec 09" width="470" <br><li>by Nicole Trunfio 04 dec 09</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">sledge_hammer</div><div class="date">06-26 08:41 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Home size may be smaller, but the land (plot) also got smaller...<br /> <br /> Thanks for the data. There is one more twist to the story though. The "median home" of 1940 is NOT the same as the median home of 2000. The home sizes have more than doubled in this period (dont have an official source right now - but look at Google Answers: Historic home sizes (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=110928) . A little digging should give us an official source if you want.).... So, if the median home prices have doubled post adjustment for inflaton - that really means that the prices have stayed flat adjusted for inflation.<br /> <br /> Statistics is a bitch :-D<br /> <br /> Edit: Errrr - the median prices actually quadrupled - and not merely doubled, while the home sizes increased by about 2.3 - 2.4 times. This means roughly 1.6 times actual appreciation - i.e. less than 1% of compounded interest (1% over 60 years = 1.82 times). Compare that to the safest vehicle out there - TIPS and tell me who would have been better off - the guy who bought his home in 1940 or the one who bought TIPS (assuming his net cash flow was zero - i.e. he earned the same as he spent for the house).</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper by Nicole Trunfio 04 dec 09 <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX4CdvkLe1sa-PH4zTAH6JvbdvJ3JCWsZFPIEPucuwrBKIp7tbYQRV260ma4er-AgO5h5Y4UwD_CUWjITqHMsGhmN-L_wX3zyeM7E6RvjtFyA5GlZ0iSgDp3HbJOM84myR0c_fr-AjLpNu/s1600/17.jpg" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry. nicoletrunfiojewelry.com" title="nicoletrunfiojewelry.com" width="470" <br><li>nicoletrunfiojewelry.com</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">raj2007</div><div class="date">04-15 09:56 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">The evidence is overwhelming.

(If you don't yet have grass roots, you can find out how to create them. )<br /> <br /> The three panels on April 3 include one about using the Internet and another on "activating the grass roots." There's also a Q&A session on how lobbying reforms and new Federal Election Commission laws might affect your online efforts.<br /> <br /> This being the Chamber of Commerce, the panelists are weighted toward the conservative end: former Bush aide Tucker Eskew, who had the spectacular title of White House director of global communications, and Stephen Hoersting, former general counsel at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. But there's also Winnie Stachelberg, former political director of the Human Rights Campaign who's now at the Center for American Progress, and some media folks and academics.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://toasted.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.bleachblack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screen-shot-2011-01-03-at-9.43.40-PM.png" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry. nicole trunfio" title="nicole trunfio" width="470" <br><li>nicole trunfio</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">nojoke</div><div class="date">04-16 12:03 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">hi NKR,<br /> if you went for a townhome and you are happy then it is fine. I am sure you are a smart person and the main point is that you are happy where you are.<br /> personally I am looking for a bigger place in alpharetta (where prices did go up a lot and is coming down ..websites show that there are foreclosures and my view is that I will find better deals in a year or so). at the same time I am happy with my decision and am having a great time.<br /> I was giving examples of some of my friends who rushed to buy. atleast 2 of them are repenting now (since they bought it far away at v.high prices) ..and one of them is about to sell it after staying there for a year.<br /> the point that nojoke and myself were making is that speculators (and careless people - those who could not afford but bought it, realtors, brokers etc etc) have pushed the prices to bubble territory. things are going to get much worse before it becomes better in most locations. there is no doubt about this. The other reason that I (and I guess nojoke) posted so many links was in good faith. i.e. we didn't want the hardworking immigrant to throw his/her money in a rush. this would only help the speculators and the other irresponsible speculators.<br /> let me make one last point since this is immi / GC forum. I was trying to get more support for the idea to have a plan B (and I failed ..which is fine since I may get GC soon and I have a plan B for myself).<br /> I agree (And hope) that IV has a good plan A (writing to senators, fasting , flowers etc) ..what I tried to say was that we should work on plan B (and maybe plan C too). if I was a core IV member then at the very least plan B would have meant ..meeting (or emailing - wherever and whenever it is legal) realtors, brokers or even senators etc etc ...and in turn use their lobby to lobby for our cause. if all the IV members were to do this at their local level --then who knows ..this may work. it is certainly worth trying.<br /> from what I have read builders are big contributors to congress ..<br /> <br /> I have debated this with myself. I don't know if this is practical. How many of us are there who wants to buy a house? 500K at the most? For the first 3 months alone, this year, there are 500K foreclosures. I know every bit helps. But the problem is not that there are not people to buy. The price is too high. We probably can influence the local realtors. Just go to them and then back off saying that you are uncomfortable buying without green card. If a lot of us does that, the message will go up and maybe they will talk to law makers. Realtors are desperate...<br /> I don't know how we execute this.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.7gossipstreet.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/AustraliansupermodelNicoleTrunfiobeachbikiniphoto1.jpg" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry.

I only hope they 'go after' people if they suspect fraud or out of status or salary issues etc.<br /> <br /> We are just a widget/number to uscis adjudicator. All of these ability to pay denials were very scarce prior to 2004. However, in 2003 and 2004 a lot of the 245i labors got approved (gas stations, restaurants, etc.). USCIS started to see a lot of bogus companies filing for people. They decided to clarify in a memo how they were going to look at ability to pay. Now; ability to pay was used rarely, in those cases that didn't look genuine (if you go to AAO decisions you would have seen the type of companies that uscis usually went after). However, to combat the 245i labors they started to apply the memo to all companies. Just imagine that a company with $20 million revenue can get ability to pay denials; but a company with $15,000 in revenue can get approval.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://tomicic.de/2010/05/07/ImLovinIt.aspx">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/bastardlybutta/bastardly-photos/album29/trunfio03220807.jpg" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry. hairstyles Nicole Trunfio:" title="hairstyles Nicole Trunfio:" width="470" <br><li>hairstyles Nicole Trunfio:</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">eager_immi</div><div class="date">02-02 12:22 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">this info is for lou dobbs and he can search for this information in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (for all the middle-class that can get free information, most likey coded by an H1B)<br /> <br /> [edit] Taxation status of H-1B workers<br /> H-1B workers are legally required to pay the same taxes as any other US resident, including Social Security and Medicare.[2] Any person who spends more than 183 days in the US in a calendar year is a tax resident and is required to pay US taxes on their worldwide income. From the IRS perspective, it doesn't matter if that income is paid in the US or elsewhere. If an H-1B worker is given a living allowance, it is treated the same by the IRS as any other US resident. In some cases, H-1B workers pay higher taxes than a US citizen because they are not entitled to certain deductions (eg. head of household deduction amongst many others). Some H-1B workers are not eligible to receive any Social Security or Medicare benefits unless they are able to adjust status to that of permanent resident.[3] However, if their country of citizenship has a tax agreement with the United States, they are able to collect the Social Security they've earned even if they don't gain permanent residency there. Such agreements are negotiated between the United States and other countries, typically those which have comparable standards of living and public retirement systems</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 nicole trunfio jewelry.

And they do not underpay them, because they HAVE to pay prevailing wages based on the wages determined by the Department of labor. <br /> <br /> Just wanted to let you know that the employer has to pay at least the prevailing wage for a starter to qualify the petition. The employer also has to pay a median wage to the H-1B holder that is commensurate with similarly qualified employees in the company. Otherwise the employer could be prosecuted for wage violations.<br /> <br /> Norm Matloff's figures are faulty because he measures only the prevailing wage as a yardstick which is the bare minimum for qualification. And then he claims H-1Bs are undercutting American employees. No wonder, if you make calculations with lower figures, on the average, H-1Bs look as if they are getting paid less than American employees. To get the actual picture, Norm needs to know actual wages of H-1B employees, which is not possible because not all employers divulge employee pay. As long as the figures can be taken to one's advantage, we always will have these critics running around with distorted graphs and figures. <br /> <br /> One reform Zazona.com should support and fight for in EB Greencards is making the application employee-centric, not employer-centric. Current procedure is in a way bondage to the employer, especially when USCIS takes a long time with multiple stages (read delays) that too not bothering about how long the application has been pending. If USCIS processing improves and they try to reach out to their customers, then a wait of one or two years for Greencard should not be an issue. Infact, I support instant GC proposal in that case.<br /> <br /> Regarding the claims of stealing jobs, I see tons of job advertisements weekly. Many of these ads specifically exclude non-sponsorship candidates (read H-1Bs). US citizens have a bigger market and better opportunities than H-1Bs. I am not sure how it is not possible for them to get jobs. As Logiclife mentioned, the unemployment rate is 2% in IT field. Perhaps people are not prepared to move to areas where jobs are growing. I can not specukate any more on that.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.mindyourowncompany.net/rim-in-their-toes-as-jp-morgan-chase-express-evidence-of-switching-towards-iphone/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvL75i7Jul8Z8n4YdhSE0jOQUPXcCIet44CO599eVyqR32lAE8Q2Kh4rnKEK9w0wBanIDe5yrQwNTDE5eYt1YcQGa-JwXSsDPFqy-fmu_gTrpc576UFyrRBplqXwRDn6QUSO3H1gFSq2Y/" alt="nicole trunfio jewelry. style: Nicole Trunfio" title="style: Nicole Trunfio" width="470" <br><li>style: Nicole Trunfio</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">nogc_noproblem</div><div class="date">08-06 06:34 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I recently picked a new primary care doctor.

If that is true why cannot they accept the conditions that they will not displace US workers. If you accept that you do not mind replacing some american workers also then all of your points are valid. Then you can lobby for unlimited H1b and Unlimited greencards. You will never get American people support for that. But we all are lobbying based on the shortage of skills. So we should be ready to reduce H1b when demand goes down or accept the conditions for non displacement of US workers. Right now demand is more so US will absorb even 200K H1bs. But you need to look what happened between 2000 to 2003. So many layoffs. Part of reason was economy but other part was due to H1b and outsourcing<br /> <br /> I will accept that 25 year old H1b from India can work 15 to 18 hours a day but same kind of productivity cannot get with 40 year old person with family of 2 kids whether Indian or american. Is it right to replace those person with 25 year old person. If that is the case then you will be replaced by youger H1b person in future. <br /> <br /> My view is clear. There should be H1b numbers based on demand and supply. If they cannot come with correct numbers then restriction of non displacement of US workers should be there.<br /> <br /> <br /> I am not Ronald Regan but I am compelled to say, " There you go again...."<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Why are you consistently discussing about H-1B caps. Green card delays are not because of H-1B quota, I am sure you know this. H-1B caps have nothing to do who applied for the H-1s, whether those were consulting companies in US or a company in Japan. You are just saying it consistently in all your posts because you don�t like more people coming here after you are on path to green cards. In all your posts, you have this mid set where the door closes right behind you and more people should not be allowed on H-1. I am sure you qualify to be the member of IEEE-USA. Please Google search for their membership form. Just because the name of the organization is �Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers� doesn�t mean that every thing on their agenda is kosher.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This shows that you have no clue about the reality. You have looked at the IEEE website and formulated the opinion about the nice people at IEEE-USA, who are working overtime for you to get your green card. This is what you think, right? Well! My friend we live in a very strange world in which political organization (like IEEE) show stuff on their website just so that they don�t appear to be outright anti-immigrants.<br /> Also, I do think that anybody who do not want to pick up their ass to find a job and rather chose to whine about someone else taking away the job is lazy and for sure undeserving. They are interested to put restrictions on H-1B because they want to eliminate their competition. Every community/group, big or small, have their opponents and enemies just because of the sheer nature of the competition for resource with other groups/communities. H-1B community now forms substantially large group of people. It is natural that orgs like IEEE-USA will be a natural opponent of H-1B community because there is a competition. Now, most members of IEEE-USA are older and middle aged folks, who are not able to compete with good quality engineers from other parts of the world. The folks on H-1 are young, dynamic and fast learners. IEEE-USA folks cannot compete with this group and so they are working to eliminate competition from H-1B folks by other means. Sometimes they call H-1Bs as indentured servants, sometimes promoting outsourcing, sometimes taking away their jobs and sometime depressing wages. They throw out all sorts of rationale to hurt H-1B community. And some idiots on this and other forums have not clue of the bigger picture and are hell bent on screwing the so called �body shoppers� as if it is ok to work at the client site to do the same job at the same amount if you are employees of KPMG or Accenture or Bearing Point. But it is not ok to do the same thing if you are an employee of TCS, INFY or SIFY etc. If this is not discrimination, then tell me what is????? I sincerely do want to understand your view and please consider me to be totally ignorant person who is here to learn from you. I sincerely mean it.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> So you do think that anything associated with the word �IEEE� is gospel. Let me share with you my friend that IEEE and IEEE-USA are totally different organizations. Just like any other organization in the world, IEEE-USA is working to address the issues of their members only. IEEE-USA is working to fix the issues of their members who live in USA ONLY. It has no clue and no desire and no objective to look at any of your issues, no matter what they are. We all acknowledge that are problems with the H-1B program but the question is, Is Durbin-Grassley approach the real solution to the problem? Congress did not address anything associated with H-1B visa for last 6-7 years. If you write to lawmakers they only understand only thing about the word �H-1B� and that is increase in H-1B� that�s it. Now every system in the world needs tweaking from time to time and this has not happened with H-1B program for a very long time. Either way, throwing out people waiting for green cards for 6-7 years is not the solution, putting in restrictions to undermine the entire H-1B program (because they know they will not have enough votes to reduce the visa numbers or eliminate the program) is not the solution, �investigating� companies when they hire someone on H-1B as if hiring someone on H-1B is a crime is not the solution, singling out companies from one country because the guy driving IEEE-USA (Ron Hira) doesn�t want more people to come from India because he hates his heritage � is not the solution. Yes there are problems, but Durbin-Grassley bill is not the solution.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Who needs enemies if we have friends like you? I mean why do you want hard working people to unnecessary go through more problems before getting their green cards, as if the existing problems for us are not enough. You simple want to make the system difficult to test human endurance? You know what, we can do this, how about all the stringent conditions of Durbin-Grassley bill will apply ONLY on you and we are all sure that the �HIGH-SKILLED� that you are, you will pass all the �tests� with flying colors. For rest all the others, please consider us lowly skilled and please set a bar lower to the extent that is humanly achievable, we are not �highly-skilled� super-humans like yourself.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Yes, you have not yet clearly said that �I support banning all H-1Bs�, not in those words, not yet. But reading your posts, it is apparent that you are headed there, as soon as you get your green card. As I said earlier, form now on, just think that all the Durbin-Grassley conditions apply on you and live your life as per the standard set by Durbin-Grassley. For the rest of us, please have mercy on us.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">gcgreen</div><div class="date">08-06 02:16 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">But you see, what YOU think RollingFlood wants cannot be achieved through a lawsuit. From what I and pretty much most of us understand from the letter of the law is that it allows for earliest priority date. A lawsuit cannot change the law. Also remember that GCs in the employment based category are given based on SPONSORSHIP by an employer. So an EB3 got an earlier priority date based on a labor petition that existed at some earlier period in time when RollingFlood, I, and plenty of others decided we wanted to get a PhD instead. That was OUR choice. <br /> <br /> Also, this is a free country. People who are really committed to get an advanced degree, can enroll in graduate school part time, which is what many people I know did. They hopped onto the GC line as EB3 and went to grad school part time. Some now have graduate degrees from places like Stanford.<br /> <br /> Also note that the law accounts for really smart people to be unfettered by allowing for things such as EB2 National Interest Waiver and EB1 exceptional ability.<br /> <br /> To say that just because someone was doing a PhD and therefore needs to get an earlier priority date that accounts for their graduate program is, to say the least, weird. It is mixing up the employment based system with a merit based system. In fact, one could argue a merit based system should not have any notion of priority dates whatsoever!<br /> <br /> Also, just like you, I have no personal gain from this, one way or the other :-) <br /> <br /> I don't think Rolling flood is debating the eligibility of 5 years experience post Bachelors for EB2. The point here is about porting which enables one to retain the priority date from the EB3 application which maybe required Bachelors + 0 years. To balance things out why not give a person who acquires a Masters or PhD a few years in terms of priority date.<br /> <br /> Note that I have no personal gain from any of the above happening. :)</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Blessing&Lifeisbeautiful</div><div class="date">08-08 05:48 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Actually; I didn't think it was courageous at all. I had to practice what I preach.<br /> <br /> One of the reasons they ask for tax returns, w2's is they want to assess your intentions; if tax returns, etc. , is out of line with offered wage then it can make them think that it is not believable you will be doing that job once greencard gets approved.<br /> <br /> Once 485 is filed; you are in a period of authorized stay. At that point; you can sit around and do nothing; switch jobs, etc.; However; to keep working you need to have authorization (ie., EAD card if you don't hold H-1b).<br /> <br /> I didn't prepare my personal tax returns on purpose because uscis could have assessed my intentions differently. When I asked him why he wanted to see the tax returns for 2005 and 2006; even though I have unrestricted employment and I can do nothing if I please; he responded it was to assess intention. Since he saw I was self employed; if my tax returns were out of line with the offered job I was going to take upon greencard approval then they may not believe it.<br /> <br /> Now; I didn't give him any financial data for 2005 and 2006. Although this is legal; if I was going to port to self employment then he could have assessed whether I was going to become a public charge or how I was living in 2005 and 2006. I had all my financial documents (ie., bank balances, brokerage account); just in case he went down this road. <br /> <br /> he didn't but just in case he wanted to; I was ready for it.<br /> <br /> bump</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-75594311823562626022011-07-12T11:44:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.609-07:00jimmie johnson makeupimages jimmie johnson car 2009 <img src="http://autoweek.com/storyimage/CW/20100610/NASCAR/100619996/AR/Jimmie-Johnson.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup. jimmie johnson nfl" title="jimmie johnson nfl" width="470" <br><li>jimmie johnson nfl</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">pmb76</div><div class="date">12-20 02:03 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">razis dude, I'm probably the most secular person you'll find on IV. Read my previous posts. However I have to disagree with you on this one and that too very strongly. Each of the places you mention Muslims are the Oppressors and not Oppressed. <br /> I completely support George Bush's doctrine of smokin' em out and ridding the world of Islamofascism. He is one of the best presidents this country has ever had. However he is misunderstood throughout the world. World over - jihadis and islamofascists hate Bush with a vengeance - which tells me only this - He must be doin' somethin' right. As long as we have more leaders like Bush we are in safe hands. <br /> <br /> We shall not tire, We shall not falter and We shall not fail - until Islamofascism is wiped out.<br /> Just my 2 cents.<br /> <br /> be it Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan Somalia,Darfur,Chechnya, Kashmir, Gujarat... everywhere muslims are killed for being muslims...noone goes to cuba,srilanka,north korea,zimbawe or whereever for watever reason...just imagine God forbid someone comes into your house, occupies it, kills your family, your brothers and sisters in front of you and kicks you out of your home and you are seeing no hope of justice... you wont stand outside your home sending flowers like munna bhai's gandhigiri.. trust me you will become a terrorist.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper jimmie johnson nfl <img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/10/18/automobiles/wheels-Nascar-Jimmie-Johnson-Charlotte/wheels-Nascar-Jimmie-Johnson-Charlotte-blogSpan.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup.

My wife is getting increasingly irritated; I might lose my laptop-privileges pretty soon. <br /> <br /> <br /> Its not because I am defending Dawood. Its just that when people talk about Dawood, the response from Pakistan has been that India is giving the list of the usual suspects, and trying to score points. [They also deny that he is in Pakistan]. So, I say, forget the past. Just focus on Bombay; get to the bottom of it, use it as an opportunity to improve relations between India and Pakistan, and move forward. <br /> <br /> <br /> First of all, 'I' won't be taking any action, regardless of what proof anyone provides. <br /> Secondly, I think Pakistan shouldn't need to be provided any proof. Pakistan should do its own investigation. And Pakistan and India should also cooperate in their investigations. <br /> And then Pakistan should charge those people with 'treason', and hang them. <br /> <br /> <br /> First of all, there is no 'we' as you mean it. This is not IndianImmigrationVoice, despite repeated and increasing evidence to the contrary. <br /> Secondly, this is a pretty good opportunity for Indians and Pakistanis who live in the USA to engage in a conversation about the relations between their countries. I don't think this thread is anything more than that. So, unless I start asking you to loan me a million dollars, 'trust' is a moot point. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I think you are unable to distinguish between an individual (me for example, or you), groups of individuals (any one of the militant groups), the state and the government (Pakistan or India), the media, and the public opinion.<br /> <br /> I know why you wanted to avoid this dawood Ibrahim. It clearly shows unwillingness for pakistan to take actions on these terrorists. Forget Dawood, what about azad (plane hijacker). You acknowledge he is in pakistan. If not him, can you find at least one guy from pakistan out of hundreds who have committed terrorist acts on India. Please don't hide behing 'past is past'. Do you see why we(not this forum members, but people of India) feel that pakistan government or ISI has some role in these incidents.<br /> Note: 'we' meant not this forum members. 'You' meant people of pakistan and government.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_full_width/hash/cf/f2/Jimmie%2520Johnson%2520celebrates%2520his%2520fifth%2520consecutive%2520NASCAR%2520Sprint%2520Cup%2520championship%2520as%2520his%2520wife%2520Chandra%2520and%2520daughter%2520Genevieve%2520look%2520on%2520at%2520Homestead-Miami%2520Speedway.%2520%2520John%2520Harrelson%2520Getty%2520Images%2520for%2520NASCAR.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup.

I am afraid the Indian media would have acted in a similar manner too....<br /> <br /> You haven't yet denounced the Bombay attacks but you are quick to attack Indian media. Good job, you have been trained well. Indian media is at fault in showing the carnage but the terrorist who carried out the carnage are saints???<br /> <br /> Its funny to see your assertion that its ok if 200 die in a bomb blast. It maybe ok for Pakistanis, but it is not ok for Indians. Stop calling Indian media as "bias". There was no ambiguity in the coverage. It was direct telecast.

My only concern is who drives his Immigration Policy. Sen. Durbin? The provisions in CIR 2007 were scary.<br /> <br /> I am here legally in this country from Sept 2000. <br /> Applied for GC in March 2006 (EB3 I), filed 485 in July 07, used AC 21 in April 08 and now working on EAD. <br /> <br /> I already had backup plan for Canada. If I wanted to keep my Canadian PR current I had to fulfill the 2 yrs out of first 5 requirement and was required to relocate to Canada in Aug 07. After July 07 fiasco and getting EAD, I thought of giving up on that back-up plan. It was not an easy decision, but we decided to bite the bullet and were thinking that AC-21 memo and EAD are good enough safe-guards for any denial if and when it comes. Also other thing I thought as it is it's going to take ages for my date to become current by that time at least my child's education will be done (he is in high school) and he doesn't have to go through relocation pains as far as school is concerned. He has already done that 4 times in last 8 years. So all in all we were satisfied with the decision to abandon Canadian PR and using AC 21. But now all of a sudden I see there are so many denials for straight forward AC21 cases and moreover if Obama wins then immigration policy are driven by Durbin. AC-21 is the thread that I am hanging on to, if that goes away then what....just don't want to think about it.<br /> <br /> AC21 denial is nothing to do with immigaration policy of Durbin or Obama. It is due to lack of regulations in USCIS or USCIS not efficient to follow the law/rules or bad customer service. This is where we need Obama. Becuase, he is favor of more/stright regulation or more accountability or strong government.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://pocachiarezza.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://ampedupmag.com/motorsports/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-Auto-Club-NSCS-Kevin-Harvick-beats-Jimmie-Johnson.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup. able to make up ground." title="able to make up ground." width="470" <br><li>able to make up ground.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">gondalguru</div><div class="date">07-08 08:00 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Assuming your husband is here from 2000, they are asking for 7 years, i.e. 12 * 7 = 84 months of paystubs?

You fail to understand the ground reality. I bought my house last year in a great school district. I used to pay $1,250 rent for a single bedroom condo of 800 sq ft. I could have as well flushed that money down the toilet. My house now is 1600 sq ft living area + completed basement + garage + deck, all for $2,500 (mortgage + insurance + tax). I'm in the 30% tax bracket and I know I'll get a huge tax benefit. My quality of life has been great with the addition of space in my dwelling.<br /> <br /> I'll have to reiterate - do not generalize your opinions. What's happening in Detriot is NOT happening everywhere!<br /> <br /> EDIT: The rent in my area for my home is of course not $2,500 but between $1,800 to $1,900. After tax deduction I'll be paying the same amount (or a tiny bit more) as a renter. If my home apprecites, I gain, if it doesn't, I DON'T lose anything. But I were a renter, my loss is guaranteed!<br /> <br /> Its not logical to think of rent as money flushed down the toilet. It is the money you pay for a service aka for a service that provides shelter without any maintanance involved.<br /> <br /> Is the money that you are paying as interest for mortgage money flushed down the toilet???:rolleyes:<br /> <br /> Taxdeduction is overrated, remember everyone gets a standard deduction, so even if you <br /> dont have mortgage you get a break.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.denmc.net/referrers.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID20430/images/Jimmie_Johnson_wins_2010_Prelude_to_the_Dream_at_Eldora__Rusty_Jarrett_Getty_Images_for_True_Speed_Communication.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup.

In the pre Perm day�s you would find every consulting company having an address in every state where the labor approval for green card was faster. That resulted in the same company filling multiple labor for the same employee from five different state�s resulting in clogging the system and leading to BEC�s. These labors when they were eventually approved were sold by these unscrupulous companies as substitution labors, infact you could find advertisement for sale on sulekha for these labors (I am sure we all remember cybersoft). Thanks to this, today we USCIS looking closely at every green card case. <br /> <br /> In the last few years� things have got so bad that these consulting companies send team of attornies to India during the H1-B filing season for H1-B applications where they charge over Rs.200K plus from candidates for filling H1-B.(Open local Indian papers and you can see advertsiment for these) Half of these applicants never make it to US as consulates rdetect these frauds at the time of stamping and this has made stamping even for genuine cases difficult. Apart from that it has resulted in H1-B lottery where a deserving candidate can not get an H1-B and finally to the current situation where USCIS looks at every H1-B application including renewal with a jaundice eye. Add to this the Satyam issue. <br /> <br /> Lets face it; the root cause of the issue we face in the immigration system can be attributed to the greed of some Indian consulting companies. <br /> <br /> Just take at a look at these advertisments .. <br /> <br /> http://www.training-classes.com/programs/01/26/12677_h1b_visa_sponsorship.php<br /> http://www.indianscholar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=344<br /> http://jobblogr.com/2007/04/08/h1-b-sponsorship-2007-usa-fresh-graduates-experienced-professinals-tcognition-inc/<br /> <br /> I can bet this vipul or shilpa will "bench" the minute you are out of project,,</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo jimmie johnson car 2009 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/wcbraun/johnson-2010PPfivestar-autoSM-11of50.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup. jimmie johnson hot." title="jimmie johnson hot." width="470" <br><li>jimmie johnson hot.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">pete</div><div class="date">04-09 10:29 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Why should others suffer because of consulting firms?<br /> You get a job at company A you work for them. When you move to company B that company does your H1B.. if required again. Why should company A do your H1B than the individual work for somebody else as "consultant". This has been going on for too long affecting everybody especially scientists and doctors and academic community. These consultants are delaying GC for us.

Depending on your logic, it looks like you wait for several thefts to pass before taking action against the thief. <br /> <br /> <br /> Suppose there are theives from Bihar that come and rob you in West Bengal. <br /> You can either send your West Bengal police into Bihar, and turn it into a rivalry between two police departments.

Where are home prices going?<br /> <br /> A. Two years ago, I predicted home prices would fall cumulatively 20%, but now I believe it will be at least 30%.<br /> <br /> With a 20% fall in home prices, about 16 million households are under water. They have negative equity, which means the value of their homes is below the value of their mortgages. With a 30% drop in prices, you have 21 million households that are in negative equity. And since the mortgages are no-recourse loans, essentially they can walk away.<br /> <br /> Even if only half of the 16 million households were to walk away, that alone could lead to losses for the financial system of $1 trillion. Even a 20% drop in home values may imply losses of $1 trillion that are not priced into the market today. So that's the floor. Again, it could be higher — as much as $2 trillion — if prices fall 30% and more people walk.<br /> <br /> Q. You are predicting problems in commercial real estate, which we haven't seen yet. When do you expect the crisis to hit?<br /> <br /> A. The same kind of reckless lending practices that occurred in subprime also occurred in commercial real estate — things like really high loan-to-value ratios and inflated estimations of how much rent would increase. If you look at the CMBX index (which tracks bonds backed by real estate loans), the spreads imply a huge number of defaults on existing commercial real estate loans. More important, the market for new commercial real estate loans is totally frozen, like the one for subprime new originations.<br /> <br /> Q. But when will this happen?<br /> <br /> A. That shoe has not dropped yet. But I expect the severe recession in residential housing will lead to a severe recession in commercial real estate. The reason is simple: If you go west, you have entire ghost towns outside of Phoenix, Las Vegas and throughout California. Who is going to be building new shopping centers, shopping malls, offices and stores where you have ghost towns? Also, there has been a lot of commercial real estate activity in the last couple of years, including a huge increase in retail capacity at a time of consumer-led recession. So, I expect [a commercial real estate] collapse will occur in the next few quarters.<br /> <br /> Q. How bad will things get?<br /> <br /> A. I would argue this is the worst financial crisis the U.S. has had since the Great Depression. We haven't seen this type of real financial turmoil for the last 70 years. Of course, it's not going to be as bad as the Great Depression. But this isn't your typical run-of-the-mill recession that in the last two episodes lasted only eight months with a minor contraction in output. This is going to last at least 12 months and more likely 18 months, which is something we haven't seen in decades.<br /> <br /> Q. So you expect the economy to start turning around in mid-2009?<br /> <br /> A. The real economic activity, yes. But some parts of the system are going to be in a severe contraction for much longer; home prices are going to keep falling for another three years, in my view. And the financial mess is going to take years to clean up.<br /> -----------------------------</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hairstyles While Jimmie Johnson might be <img src="http://i.usatoday.net/sports/gallery/2009/motor/s090920_chase/s091017_001-johnson.jpg" alt="jimmie johnson makeup.

Therefore, because of this USCIS is essentially saying that you are only getting h-1b approval for the work location specified in the petition when it was filed. It does not include a blanket approval to work at multiple locations.<br /> <br /> Therefore; one should always amend the h-1b for different work location. Everytime you amend; you have to pay uscis/lawyer fees and are at risk of getting rfe everytime.<br /> <br /> With regards to greencard. You don't have to work at the location required in the labor until the greencard gets approved. Most labors state job location is "various unanticipated locations across usa". If it has this statement then you are covered and don't have to locate to the office of the company; you can work in any location.<br /> <br /> If there is not such an annotation in the labor then to make it 100% legal you should go and work in the location covered by the labor. However, as the baltimore decision stated; you can use ac21 for a different locaiton with same employer. Therefore, if 485 is pending more then six months and greencard gets approved; you have essentially used ac21 without even knowing it.<br /> <br /> I do know a few cases where attorney did labor in location of where persons client was located. However, if person has shifted to another location then it would be impossible to justify it legally that you will go back there when greencard gets approved because that job would no longer exist.<br /> <br /> There are a lot of complexities involved in this. It just goes to show that on a whim; uscis can do a lot of things to make peoples lives miserable.<br /> <br /> So then lets take an example<br /> <br /> 1. Company Files H1b from NJ<br /> 2. Consultant gets a job in NY or OH or xyz state. Employer files 'amend location' each time. The work and keep on moving like that<br /> 3. Time comes up for renewal of H1, if the employer gives the current client's contract in a different location, it will definitely trigger USICS to possibly deny the extension? Since the original H1 petition did not mention this place or since they filed amend its ok?<br /> 4. When they file for amend, do they need to give a contract/client letter to justify the amend? If yes then will it trigger an RFE?<br /> <br /> According to you anything is possible with USCIS these days.<br /> <br /> My original request still stays. I want some advise, I will definitely use an attorney but wanted your opinion on it..<br /> <br /> -cheers<br /> kris</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">GCKaMaara</div><div class="date">01-09 01:42 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">refugee, you must learn a few thing from alisa. alisa is a pakistani and look at his well-structured arguments.

A lot of what he says is rhetoric but it is within his rights. I wouldn't want to associate IV with any Latino related immigration movement. Their objectives, issues and means are altogether different from ours. <br /> <br /> We [should] care only about legal immigrants and not have even a whiff of supporting illegal immigration in any form and from any country. For a long time now, the word immigration has been expanded to mean Latino immigrants and only Wall Street Journal takes care to single out that immigration from countries like India is of a different hue (more knowledge based), than immigration from Mexico (more labor intensive). <br /> <br /> Bottom line, aligning ourselves with the Latino agenda is bad policy and politics and a losing proposition.<br /> <br /> FYI English_August, I'm sure you know this but there's a not so fine distinction between illegal immigration and Latino immigration. While the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants today are likely from Mexico, let me ask this question of you and other people on this forum. How many estimated (govt. estimates) illegal immigrants are in the US today from India? China? Philippines? Any ideas? The numbers will blow your mind. Guaranteed.<br /> <br /> Like it or not, legal immigration reform could well come packaged with comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) next year, which will primarily deal with illegal immigration.<br /> <br /> As for Dobbs the right-wing nutjob, I am sure that people have noticed that he has stopped talking about immigration since election day. Why do people care about him? His misinformation campaign fell flat on its face anyway.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper There#39;s also a pic of Matt <img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/09/23-End/Sarah-Silverman_schlep-video-vote-florida.jpg" alt="matt damon fat.

Increase internal security. Our performace in tacking those 10-11 guys were pathetic, to put it mildly. Sure it is no mistake of those brave folks who actually fought the terrorists, but India has no political will power to tackle terrorits strongly (neither Indian politicians nor the voters who elect those politicians).<br /> <br /> 2. Join NATO forces in fighting terrorism in Afghanistan. We had earlier turned down invitation from Americans to fight in Afghanistan because our rulers fear the Muslim vote bank. It seems (looking at the Muslim response to latest terror attacks), Indian Muslims also are fed up of the cross border terrorism. So if we join the NATO forces and fight islamists in Afghanistan; on one hand, the jihadis will be weakened and on the other hand, India will not be directly blamed by Muslims all over the world.<br /> <br /> My take on this is that there are two options<br /> <br /> Option-1:- Go for an all out war as i specified...however the risk here is that it could go on and on and on...like we have seen in otherparts<br /> <br /> Option-2:- Work with like minded countries (work with them covertly), to completely eliminate terror camps (difficult it may seem cause its the bread/butter and cheese of those who run the neighbouring country)<br /> <br /> Option-1, if we can come up with a quick operation (remember 26/11 took 60 hours), otherwise option-2, but we have to be on the ball and make sure we get one of the two done otherwise as i said the next strike could not be far away on one of our major cities....<br /> Also Option-1 should be directed at the Terror infrastructure (by infrastructure i mean man power included cause otherwise they will disperse and regroup like they do in the western border in the war that the superpower is waging)</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.alster-dart.de/jgs_portal_statistik.php?meinaction=ref&meinaction2=alleheute&sid=f5bd901c82f6634a65b62e7d46a5b90f">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/mc/ante_up_for_africa_030709/matt_damon_5319768.jpg" alt="matt damon fat.

There are pros and cons. But for you to trash real estate by comparing it to renting is foolishness. One needs to diversify. So one should invest in stocks, bonds, gold, home, cash, etc. What percentage of each? Well that is a personal choice. But home is definitely one way to build wealth.<br /> <br /> Do you know a single well known rich guy that still rents (and owns zero real estate)? If you are so sure that you have the math right, go ahead and name some names!<br /> There are many homeowners who are underwater but not foreclosed. That does not make it a good investment. All I'm pointing out is unless your property's rent covers your monthly mortgage+property tax+insurance+maintenance and upkeep it can not be called a good investment. You should have positive (at least non negative) cash flow out of your rental properties. Is this a general case? I think not. At least in my area I'm 100% sure rent does not cover mortgage and the difference between the two is significant.<br /> <br /> If you have a negative cash flow on your rental properties then the only thing you are betting on is price appreciation of your properties (above inflation) in future which is speculation again.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://mynokia.su/">more...</a><br><br /><br />house check out Matt Damon drop <img src="http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2011/01/22/1225992/890646-matt-damon-in-true-grit.jpg" alt="matt damon fat. ~Recurring matt damon role: matt damon age~ / ~sarah and matt damon video~" title="~Recurring matt damon role: matt damon age~ / ~sarah and matt damon video~" width="470" <br><li>~Recurring matt damon role: matt damon age~ / ~sarah and matt damon video~</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">brshankar</div><div class="date">08-05 10:27 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Rolling Flood,<br /> <br /> There are only 3000 visas allocated to EB2 India category every year.

OK I agree that EB2 India should get spillover visas from EB2 ROW but why should they get EB1 spillover visas? Is EB2 = EB1? Why can't they allocate the EB1 visas equally between EB2 and EB3.

After failing to show the leadership of his own party -with majority of Repubs voting against the bailout (a clear indication of leadership failure and ineffectiveness of McCain Presidency in passing anything through his own party!), he found it convenient to Obama.<br /> <br /> And it was Obama who proposed raising FDIC insurance to $250,000 to which McCain has (thankfully) chimed in.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://jacefirm.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />pictures Matt Damon And Family Arrive <img src="http://www.fatburningsolution.net/wp-includes/images/FwfDryV9yZA.jpg" alt="matt damon fat. like Matt Damon | Fat" title="like Matt Damon | Fat" width="470" <br><li>like Matt Damon | Fat</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">unitednations</div><div class="date">03-24 02:59 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Unitednations, <br /> I read your replies and it seems you are ignoring some facts and are forming a one sided opinion.<br /> <br /> -----------------------Not really; i have much more knowledge on this then everyone on these boards. I'm just hesitant of giving very specific examples as it will give some people more information then they need to know.<br /> <br /> - Why did USCIS allow labor substitutions? Why did it take them so long to stop it? Why did they wait until after July 07 to stop it. Were they not allowing people to use this back door and lawyers to make money?<br /> <br /> <br /> ------------------labor subsitution issues seemed to be confined to a specific industry, specific people. People thought retrogression was going to go away. Did it go away? Main issue with EB is more people then # of greencards available. It may change the ordering but not the number of people going for greencard.<br /> <br /> - If consulting is a problem, what were they doing in the past few years? What are they doing now? Do you think just a few raids once is enough to stop the problem? Why can't they enforce their own laws so that they punish the companies and not the immigrants.<br /> <br /> <br /> ------------------------------------they are your sponsorers. They are the reason why you are here. Without them; you are not here. If they are not following the laws the way uscis wants then they will make it difficult for them. They are going hard after them to directly go after you. Don't you guys understand that?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS making paperwork difficult. Why can't the system be simple like Canada or Australia so that we can do our own paperwork? Why are lawyers in the picture?<br /> <br /> <br /> -----------------------------Those systems are designed becasue they want people there. USA system is not designed for this. Increasingly; it is becoming apparent that uscis/government is becoming hostile towards immigration. Once; they determine they actually want people here then they'll make it easy.<br /> <br /> <br /> - If they find problem in consulting, why are they not going after Tata, Wipro etc. Don't tell me these companies are clean? <br /> <br /> --------------------------------------who says they are not going after them. they are all getting a healty case of denials. Main issue is they are thinking there is fraud in IT. IT is dominated by people from India. Kill staffing companies; then you kill h-1b.<br /> <br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS so disorganized without good IT. Do you think other agencies are also same? Do you think USCIS does not have enough money?<br /> <br /> <br /> ---------------------------------------Problem is that with the myriads of laws and USCIS discretion in following laws; there is no perfect IT system since much of it is related to adjudicator discretion.<br /> <br /> - Why can't they ban DV lottery? But go after H1Bs. You will say to do that law must be changed. But at least go strict on whom you approve once they are selected in the lottery. Are they not bringing lot of criminals, fanatics, unemployed and uneducated poor through DV.<br /> <br /> <br /> -----------------------no idea. I do see that people talk about "highly skilled". There is no definition of "highly skilled" in immigration. Skilled worker is job that requires two years of experience. I bet just about every person coming through DV or family base would meet the definition of skilled worker in employment base sens.<br /> <br /> - Why can't ICE do their job of enforcement and round up illegals. If they were strict we will not have so many illegals or the problem of illegals.<br /> <br /> ----------------------who says they are not. It is just a different perspective of what people think they should go after. Right now DOL is visiting consultants at their end client locations and interviewing them.<br /> <br /> The questions will go on. But you need to step back and think more from the perspective of a applicant waiting for his GC or H1B .<br /> <br /> I was one of you and I mainly deal with many of you guys. Unfortunately, people want to come into this country in many different ways and just because we want to; doesn't mean they are going to let us.<br /> <br /> btw; see --------------------------------for my comments.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses I have an extra bottle of Fat <img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wjqqzFV0cQw/0.jpg" alt="matt damon fat.

But for Washington, D.C., lobbying organizations, the steamy month of Congressional downtime means a lot more than slipping out of town to sip pi�a coladas on the beach.<br /> <br /> It's an opportunity to contact Members back home in their districts and to mobilize constituents with issue ads and special events. The break also gives lobbyists a chance to set up along the campaign trail to push their agendas with presidential candidates in ocean-free zones such as Des Moines, Iowa.<br /> <br /> Usual suspects AARP, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America plan to hit the road in August along with some grass-roots newcomers, including ONE, the organization founded by rock star Bono.<br /> <br /> "August is a critical month," said James Fuller, a managing director at Public Strategies Inc., which is working to shape patent legislation for the Coalition for 21st Century Patent Reform. "When Members go home they hear about all these types of issues. Now's the time when they take notice." <br /> <br /> Fuller's coalition plans to organize in-district meetings, letter and e-mail writing campaigns, and efforts to get its allies to be vocal participants at Members' town hall meetings. Fuller said all of this is intended to help lay the groundwork for upcoming action in September on patent reform bills in the House and Senate. Targets of the coalition's August lobbying efforts, he said, include Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Edward Kennedy (Mass.), among others. "We're going to be very aggressive in August, reaching out to companies in states we know we need," he added.<br /> <br /> Bono's ONE campaign also is planning a major effort in August, said the group's Kimberly Cadena, asking its 2.5 million supporters to speak with their Members when it comes to the farm bill and other items.<br /> <br /> "ONE will kick off the August recess with a grass-roots legislative briefing on the evening of August 2," Cadena said. Over the recess, ONE members, sans Bono, will be lobbying for the Education for All and U.S. Commitment to Global Child Survival bills, she added.<br /> <br /> Divided We Fail - a health care-focused effort sponsored by the AARP, Service Employees International Union and Business Roundtable - plans to hit the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 10 to make sure presidential contenders hear their views.<br /> <br /> And Bill Miller, vice president and political director with the Chamber of Commerce, said his group dispatches lobbyists on the road during every Congressional recess.<br /> <br /> "We decided this year to put an increased focus on doing those visits to Congressional districts and states where lots of our issues are in play and Congressional districts that are also politically in play," Miller said, adding that fundraisers also are a component of the chamber's August outreach to Members.<br /> <br /> Miller's team will focus on restarting the free-trade agenda, the stalled efforts on immigration reform and stymying union efforts in Congress including the card-check bill. "Whether you're a union company or mid-sized, little guy or not, the passage and enactment of something like this would have severe consequences for the United States economy," he said.<br /> <br /> On the other side of the political spectrum, the liberal group Campaign for America's Future is planning a barrage of targeted ads, direct mail and local press events.<br /> <br /> "The Campaign for America's Future plans to take the gloves off this recess to ensure that Americans are clear on who is pushing for change and who is standing in the way," said Toby Chaudhuri, the group's communications director. "The conservative minority has chosen a strategy of blocking legislation at a record pace in the Senate. We're going to expose the obstruction."<br /> <br /> The private equity crowd, which is working to fend off proposals to increase taxes on the industry, is planning to continue making its case during the recess, said Robert Stewart, the Private Equity Council's vice president of public affairs. "It makes much more sense for the country, for the economic growth of the country, not to single out private equity for punitive tax treatment," he said.<br /> <br /> America's Health Insurance Plans - which went on the air last week with ads defending the Medicare Advantage program that is on the chopping block to help pay for the State Children's Health Insurance Program - is planning to run more ads in targeted districts, depending on how this week's SCHIP debate turns out. AHIP will be working closely with seniors who use Medicare Advantage through the Coalition for Medicare Choices, said AHIP spokesman Mohit Ghose.<br /> <br /> "We are going to ensure that every Member of Congress understands what the impending cuts being proposed in the House mean for their constituents," Ghose said. The 400,000 volunteer members of the coalition, he added, "will go to town hall meetings and interact at the district office."<br /> <br /> Also on the health care front, PhRMA plans to fuel up its Partnership for Prescription Assistance bus, which will roll into several Members' districts over August, including those of Reps. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), Gene Green (D-Texas) and Tim Murphy (R-Pa.). The PPA is a pharmaceutical company program that helps pay for medicine for low-income people. PhRMA Senior Vice President Ken Johnson said the bus already has done 13 events but plans to ramp up the tour in August.<br /> <br /> "August is important for us because it's the one time a year when most Members are back home in their districts," he said. "During August, we have the opportunity to hold a significant number of events."</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.dinosaurtrailcabins.com/webtrends/Referrers.htm">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup recurring matt damon role <img src="http://sandiegofitnesspro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/charlize-theron-hot-monster-comparison.jpg" alt="matt damon fat. check out Matt Damon drop" title="check out Matt Damon drop" width="470" <br><li>check out Matt Damon drop</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">walking_dude</div><div class="date">09-30 10:05 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I haven't see any indication McCain is any better for EB immigration. He has no stated position on the issue. At least Obama has a public position which is pro-EB. After seeing McCain fail to get Repubs to vote for Bailout, I am not convinced he will be able to push anything controversial such as CIR through a Democratic Congress. At least if Obama is President, and with a Democratic filibuster-proof Senate, there may be a chance of a breakthrough.<br /> <br /> Besides if McCain keeps spending trillions of borrowed dollars in Iraq for the next year, it doesn't matter if we get GC or not. We will be seeing a mother of all economic crises in a few more years.<br /> <br /> So our only chance lies with Obama. I think we should all write to him about our issues once he becomes the President.

John Breaux (D-La.) is leaving Patton Boggs to form his own firm with his lobbyist son, John Breaux Jr. <br /> <br /> Breaux has worked at the lobbying firm since retiring from the Senate in 2004. He said in a statement that he may continue to have an association with the firm, which was co-founded by fellow Louisianan Thomas Boggs.<br /> <br /> �Tom Boggs and the Patton Boggs firm have been a professional family for me since I retired from the Congress almost three years ago. It has been a rewarding experience in which I have learned a great deal from my colleagues, who are also my friends, but the challenge and opportunity to start a new business with my son is something that I cannot pass up,� Breaux said in a statement sent to Patton Boggs employees.<br /> <br /> Breaux and Patton Boggs were continuing to discuss how Breaux could continue to serve as counsel and provide strategic advice to the firm, according to the statement.<br /> <br /> Breaux�s announcement comes two days after the surprise retirement of Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.), who is expected to begin a lobbying career. Some lobbyists have speculated that Lott and Breaux, both known as dealmakers in the Senate, might go into business together. Lott�s son Chester is also a lobbyist. <br /> <br /> Chester Lott told Bloomberg News that his father was considering lobbying with Sen. Breaux, and said the two have a �great relationship.�<br /> <br /> Thomas Boggs praised Breaux in a statement announcing the former senator�s departure: �We have all benefited immeasurably from our personal and professional association with John, we wish him well in his new venture, and look forward to continuing our personal friendship and professional collaboration for many years to come.�</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hairstyles holly fat matt <img src="http://www.sheclick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Matt-Damon-Sunglasses-Festival-de-Venise-Mostra-520x346.jpg" alt="matt damon fat.

(BTW I agree there is no relation between immi and housing crash - nor is it implied in the comments I had pasted). I guess sometimes it makes sense to read what other readers / natives feel about certain situations. a final thought (unless I have to respond to someone else's post) - everywhere I look (articles and in real life) - things are real bad in terms of real estate. will things improve - definitely but it may take long time for things to stabilize and hence it makes sense to do extra research before taking a plunge. for e.g at present I am staying in a rented town home - and I got the deal for $850 - the town homes are inside an apt complex in a good neighborhood. (you need to show income of atleast 3 times the rent to get a place here and many tenants are high tech guys). the same town home during boom time had rent of $1250 ..in other words - there are tons of deals due to excessive supply everywhere. one other important point was made by another person - this winter was harsh and hence people did everything to keep a roof above their head - wait till summer and you will see people literally walking away from their homes ...when u read posts like the above ..it makes sense to wait for some more time esp on H1 / EAD.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">sanju</div><div class="date">05-16 11:10 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Infact pro immigrants and Corporations are arguing that shortage of skills and they are not displacing US workers. If that is true why cannot they accept the conditions that they will not displace US workers. If you accept that you do not mind replacing some american workers also then all of your points are valid. Then you can lobby for unlimited H1b and Unlimited greencards. You will never get American people support for that. But we all are lobbying based on the shortage of skills. So we should be ready to reduce H1b when demand goes down or accept the conditions for non displacement of US workers. Right now demand is more so US will absorb even 200K H1bs. But you need to look what happened between 2000 to 2003. So many layoffs. Part of reason was economy but other part was due to H1b and outsourcing<br /> <br /> <br /> The greater danger in life is not that we set our aims too high and fail, but we set them too low and still do – Michelangelo<br /> <br /> Your aim is to not get fired. You want to buy an insurance policy to a secure job as if you are the only one entitled to have a job. This is a lower aim so you are bound to fail i.e. lose your job.<br /> <br /> And how do you define “replacing some American workers”. There is a plant in Yuma, AZ manufacturing aircrafts for Kingfisher airlines in India. Doesn’t this mean that someone in India is being replaced by American worker???? Maybe we should stop all trade and we should have all needs of one country fill within its borders. Maybe we should say – from now on no one is going to do any business, collaboration, partnership and place orders to companies outside of the borders of the country where you live. <br /> <br /> <br /> Then you can lobby for unlimited H1b and Unlimited greencards.<br /> <br /> <br /> The best argument of restrictionist is either talk about no H-1B or green cards or talk about unlimited H-1Bs and green cards as if the extremes make the only reality in this world. Have you ever seen numbers like 290,000 or maybe 450,000. These are called whole numbers in mathematics and reside somewhere between ZERO and INFINITY/UNLIMITED.<br /> <br /> <br /> You will never get American people support for that.<br /> <br /> <br /> Stop bickering in the name of American people. More than 99% Americans don’t even know what is H-1B visa or employment based green card. And one more thing, people’s opinion is the most foolish thing to look at when making a decision. Do you remember the % of people in favor of Iraq war in 2002? - More than 70%<br /> Do you know how many people are in favor of pulling out of Iraq now, putting all the blame on the Administration? – around 70%<br /> Do you know the % of “American people” saying that they screwed up by supporting the war in 2002? – 0% <br /> No one would come out to say the nations and millions of people got screwed up due to "MY" twisted ideology in 2002. So let’s keep this argument of “American People” out of this debate.<br /> <br /> <br /> I will accept that 25 year old H1b from India can work 15 to 18 hours a day but same kind of productivity cannot get with 40 year old person with family of 2 kids whether Indian or American. Is it right to replace those person with 25 year old person. If that is the case then you will be replaced by youger H1b person in future. <br /> <br /> <br /> In free market and capitalist economy, the measure of productivity doesn’t come from some lawmaker who is out of sink with reality or from the ideology of orgs like IEEE-USA or from posters like you. The measure of productivity comes from the employers and the companies. If employees on H-1Bs were unproductive then why are employers asking for more H-1Bs. I am sure my employer is not in love with me to give me check every two weeks. And if that is how it works best for the competitiveness and for the economy, society and the nation, then so be it. That is the reason why this society is more advanced. You may be afraid of such a situations/competitions but I am not scared of a scenario where someone who can perform a better job, either a citizen or someone on H-1B, takes my job. And I assure you that I won't whine about it. But that is ok, your way of thinking is all based on the premises that every one out is going to get you and some how you have to eliminate this competition at the soonest.<br /> <br /> <br /> My view is clear. There should be H1b numbers based on demand and supply. If they cannot come with correct numbers then restriction of non displacement of US workers should be there.<br /> <br /> <br /> You have used the argument of abuse, productivity, economy, outsourcing, country of origin and the color of Dick Morris’ underwear - to argue against H-1B and against green card number increase. Time and again I have said that this is not about H-1B. We, the people on this forum, want to discuss about GREEN CARD BACKLOGS. But you want to keep the discussion away from green card backlog and want the discussion be in the arena of H-1B. I must share with you that I have received atleast 7 different private messages telling me to “not waste my time with idiot like yourself”.<br /> Like you ass, you keep your views and your opinions with yourself. Don’t poke your ass and your views into a place where they don’t belong. And please stop worrying about being displaced by someone else on H-1B. You have not even gotten green card and you have already turned into a restrictionist. Please wait for sometime and there will be enough time and opportunity for you to join the ranks of IEEE-USA. This makes me to think that there are 2 possibilities:<br /> 1.) You have very low self esteem and you have a low opinion about yourself. Thus you are scared of the competition<br /> 2.) You are not capable enough or you are not technically sound to compete with others around you. And just like IEEE-USA, you are looking for ways to eliminate your future probable competition using words/phrases like “displacement of US workers”.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-2419727924787352142011-07-12T07:04:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.610-07:00burberry round rose gold chronograph watchimages -chronograph-mens-watch- <img src="http://cdn1.shopperhive.co.uk/n/burberry-bi-colour-mens-chronograph-watch.jpg" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch.

There is a plant in Yuma, AZ manufacturing aircrafts for Kingfisher airlines in India. Doesn�t this mean that someone in India is being replaced by American worker???? Maybe we should stop all trade and we should have all needs of one country fill within its borders. Maybe we should say � from now on no one is going to do any business, collaboration, partnership and place orders to companies outside of the borders of the country where you live. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The best argument of restrictionist is either talk about no H-1B or green cards or talk about unlimited H-1Bs and green cards as if the extremes make the only reality in this world. Have you ever seen numbers like 290,000 or maybe 450,000. These are called whole numbers in mathematics and reside somewhere between ZERO and INFINITY/UNLIMITED.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Stop bickering in the name of American people. More than 99% Americans don�t even know what is H-1B visa or employment based green card. And one more thing, people�s opinion is the most foolish thing to look at when making a decision. Do you remember the % of people in favor of Iraq war in 2002? - More than 70%<br /> Do you know how many people are in favor of pulling out of Iraq now, putting all the blame on the Administration? � around 70%<br /> Do you know the % of �American people� saying that they screwed up by supporting the war in 2002? � 0% <br /> No one would come out to say the nations and millions of people got screwed up due to "MY" twisted ideology in 2002. So let�s keep this argument of �American People� out of this debate.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In free market and capitalist economy, the measure of productivity doesn�t come from some lawmaker who is out of sink with reality or from the ideology of orgs like IEEE-USA or from posters like you. The measure of productivity comes from the employers and the companies. If employees on H-1Bs were unproductive then why are employers asking for more H-1Bs. I am sure my employer is not in love with me to give me check every two weeks. And if that is how it works best for the competitiveness and for the economy, society and the nation, then so be it. That is the reason why this society is more advanced. You may be afraid of such a situations/competitions but I am not scared of a scenario where someone who can perform a better job, either a citizen or someone on H-1B, takes my job. And I assure you that I won't whine about it. But that is ok, your way of thinking is all based on the premises that every one out is going to get you and some how you have to eliminate this competition at the soonest.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You have used the argument of abuse, productivity, economy, outsourcing, country of origin and the color of Dick Morris� underwear - to argue against H-1B and against green card number increase. Time and again I have said that this is not about H-1B. We, the people on this forum, want to discuss about GREEN CARD BACKLOGS. But you want to keep the discussion away from green card backlog and want the discussion be in the arena of H-1B. I must share with you that I have received atleast 7 different private messages telling me to �not waste my time with idiot like yourself�.<br /> Like you ass, you keep your views and your opinions with yourself. Don�t poke your ass and your views into a place where they don�t belong. And please stop worrying about being displaced by someone else on H-1B. You have not even gotten green card and you have already turned into a restrictionist. Please wait for sometime and there will be enough time and opportunity for you to join the ranks of IEEE-USA. This makes me to think that there are 2 possibilities:<br /> 1.) You have very low self esteem and you have a low opinion about yourself. Thus you are scared of the competition<br /> 2.) You are not capable enough or you are not technically sound to compete with others around you. And just like IEEE-USA, you are looking for ways to eliminate your future probable competition using words/phrases like �displacement of US workers�.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.replica-swiss.com/simg/watch-19283.jpg" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch. $209.00.

So far, all indications show Democrats in Congress have been happy to oblige one of their most loyal constituencies. <br /> <br /> Legislation backed by labor that was left on the shelves when the House was under Republican rule has been dusted off by Democrats and moved to the floor. This includes so-called card-check legislation approved by the House earlier this year, which was the subject of a huge lobbying fight between labor and business. <br /> <br /> By contrast, free-trade agreements opposed by labor and negotiated by the Bush administration have been delayed, some apparently until after the 2008 election. <br /> <br /> �There�s been a dramatic change since January,� said Bill Samuel, a top lobbyist for the AFL-CIO who is in frequent communication with Democratic leaders. �Issues that have been long ignored are now getting the attention they deserve.�<br /> <br /> �I think they�ve done a fair job in recognizing what our priorities are and addressing them,� agreed Fred McLuckie, legislative director of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. <br /> <br /> House Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) agreed with the labor leaders, but put a different spin on the changing tides. <br /> <br /> �The brazenness with which they�ve paid back Big Labor is astonishing,� said Putnam, who thinks the loyalty will come back to haunt Democrats next year, particularly since labor unions now represent less than 8 percent of the nation�s private workforce. <br /> <br /> Putnam said the shifting fortunes for labor reflect �a blatant return to the old stereotype of Big Labor bosses pulling the strings of Democrats.�<br /> <br /> Few Democrats, however, seem to think helping labor will hurt them. For example, only two House Democrats voted against the card-check legislation despite intense lobbying by business groups and negative advertisements in some districts. In the Senate, every Democrat voted in favor of card-check on the floor, as did Republican Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.). <br /> <br /> Pro-business Democratic Rep. Adam Smith (Wash.) said he has some differences with unions on trade. But he has no problem supporting card-check or other pro-union bills that he sees as helping low- and middle-income workers get a share of the economic pie. <br /> <br /> While card-check legislation, formally known as the Employee Free Choice Act, received the lion�s share of headlines over the first half of the year, dozens of other measures designed to help the labor movement have been inching forward. <br /> <br /> For example, lawmakers have attached to several bills language requiring that workers be paid a prevailing wage � and the tactic has helped highlight divisions within the Republican Party. Fifty House Republicans voted to keep prevailing-wage language in a water-resources bill earlier this year. <br /> <br /> In addition, the Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers won a provision in the House Federal Aviation Administration bill that makes it easier for employees of Federal Express to form unions, which could be a boon to the Teamsters and the machinists union. A second provision backed by labor would force the administration back to the negotiating table with air traffic controllers. <br /> <br /> And just last week, the House approved a bill providing collective-bargaining rights for firefighters and other first responders in all 50 states. The lower chamber also passed a Department of Labor funding bill that offers increased dollars for workplace enforcement offices like the Wage and Hour Division, which looks into claims that overtime is not being paid, while cutting funds for an office that investigates union corruption.<br /> <br /> In the second half of 2007, the AFL-CIO expects to push for bankruptcy law reforms as well as legislation overturning a National Labor Relations Board ruling that broadly defined workers considered to be supervisors. Overturning the decision could allow many more workers to qualify for collective bargaining rights. <br /> <br /> Furthermore, the Teamsters will continue to press Democrats to prevent the administration from carrying out plans to allow Mexican trucks access to U.S. roads, McLuckie said. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which split from the AFL-CIO a few years ago, is lobbying aggressively on several broad policy issues, including an expansion of the State Children�s Health Insurance Program, according to Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger.<br /> <br /> The debate over ending the war in Iraq is also a top priority for SEIU members, who are even more anti-war than the rest of the nation, Burger said, explaining that the SEIU sees the Iraq war as diverting funds that could be used to provide universal healthcare and other priorities. <br /> <br /> Still, while union proposals have won momentum, only one union priority � an increase in the minimum wage � has actually become law. Other measures have been held up in the Senate by Republican-led filibusters or are threatened by presidential vetoes. <br /> <br /> While the AFL-CIO�s Samuel admits that moving from a defensive posture to offense has been exciting, he said there is frustration that labor issues have been held up in the Senate. And he insists Democrats have not given labor a blank check, even though he and his colleagues are spending more time in the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in this Congress. �You still have to argue your case on its merits,� he said. <br /> <br /> �For the last 12 years we were for the most part on the defensive,� Samuel continued. �It was other people who were making decisions which we were reacting to. I think now we are able to make decisions, to decide what issues to promote.�<br /> <br /> AFL-CIO officials meet weekly to decide which issues to push for. They are also in frequent contact with other labor leaders, who say there�s no evidence that Democratic leaders are playing favorites among the sometimes-fractious labor movement. <br /> <br /> SEIU and the Teamsters left the AFL-CIO a few years ago and formed the Change to Win coalition. But McLuckie said he hadn�t heard any complaints within the Change to Win coalition about access to Democrats. <br /> <br /> For their part, Republicans hope to use labor�s successes to portray Democrats as too compliant with union demands. For example, the National Republican Senate Committee is already trying to raise money from small businesses spooked by the card-check bill. <br /> <br /> It has produced an ominously scored video featuring grainy footage of Senate Democrats rallying for the card-check legislation to convince businesses to donate to the GOP next year. In the video, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) tells the crowd, �We have a majority in the U.S. Senate because of you.� Meanwhile, the figure $1,389,489 flashes on the screen to reflect the contributions Reid has received from �Big Labor.� <br /> <br /> The video closes with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) promising to sign the bill into law when she is president, and notes Republicans need only two seats to regain control of the Senate. <br /> <br /> While unions are holding off on their presidential endorsements for now, the video reflects their long-term plan for card check. In 2009, labor hopes to have a Democratic president and a larger majority in the Senate, which would make business-backed filibusters more difficult. <br /> <br /> �I think it will be easier next time,� said Samuel, who thinks the labor agenda in Congress will help Democrats in next year�s elections. �I think these measures are generally very popular.�</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.iranum.ir/news.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.travelinginfos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/09_0326_012.jpg" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch.

You look on an average for 3-5 month to buy a home and one fine day u woke up and interest rate is high u plan to sell. This may be even possible only when u have bought house for pure investment.<br /> <br /> Once you move to ur first house with ur family. you will not sell ur house until u r forced to because of job/other extreme factors. <br /> <br /> Location is most important that any thing. It is very very localized. do u think manhattan house price went down..in fact it went up. Similarly DC metro area is relatively stronger compare to mid west. <br /> <br /> A bit of luck is always there in every single thing. Predicting bottom/peak is always challenge.<br /> <br /> One funny thing..people are planning how to sell before they even look for house to buy. lol..<br /> <br /> <br /> What are you talking about? I said to buy house when it is cheaper. If interest rates go up, then the house price will sure come down. If I buy low, I will be able to sell without a loss. I said it is better to buy a house cheaper at higher interest rate than paying 1/2 million at a lower interest rate. Got it?<br /> <br /> So Manhattan prices are rising and it is ok to buy else where? You are kidding. <br /> Yes real estate is localized. But this time it not if you area is falling down in price, but it is by how much. Some areas fall more than others. The prices will continue to fall in 99% of the place. Please stop quoting Manhattan. How many here live in Manhattan?<br /> <br /> Oh, predicting in this economy is easy. The housing will crash. No question about that. Only question is by how much. The lying liars(NAR) has just said that there is going to be a correction of 24% this year for california. If they are saying this, then you know it will go down by more than 40%. <br /> <br /> Did you watch today's program in CNN(housing meltdown). They said that this is a ponzi scheme. It is unsustainable. It is bound to fall. <br /> <br /> You seem to be living in your own dream world. Stop denying the fact. Go look around and read news. Just hoping for prices not falling is not going to stop the crash. <br /> <br /> I am not trying to talk about selling before buying. I am telling you to buy at a lower price so that you don't loose when you are forced to sell. Even otherwise it is always a good idea to buy low. Don't you look for bargain for your clothing. You don't sell them, but you still try to get at a good price. If you are doing this for buying clothes, why are you guys so eager to throw your money away when it comes to housing.:confused:<br /> <br /> Before throwing the sarcasm at others, learn about the economy and where we are in housing and where it is heading. You are just playing 'I don't hear any bad news, I don't see bad news...la la la la and everything is wonderful'. Look into all the links I posted and tell me why you are confident that house prices won't fall.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair SEIKO MEN#39;S CHRONO DATE ROSE <img src="http://www.watch07.com/images/watches/u-boat/classico/u-boat-classico-rose-gold-45mm-chronograph-watch_5.jpg" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch. 45mm Chronograph Watch" title="45mm Chronograph Watch" width="470" <br><li>45mm Chronograph Watch</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">unseenguy</div><div class="date">06-20 08:37 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">You actually nailed down exactly what i have been thinking...<br /> <br /> Its just seems impossible to get a decent house which is not 25+ in Cupertino, Redwood shores etc ..And my gut feeling is these places the homes will never be affordable, they may lose some value but not much.<br /> <br /> I have also been debating about Austin as an alternative. Again what field you work in also plays a big role in the decision. if you are a techie and work in a product based company Bay area has all the top companies you could wish to work for. Where as cities like Austin merely have satellite offices for these companies based in bay area. I guess if you work in the service industry you would have more choices to pick from. Plus reason to consider austin for me is that "Austin is very much like bay area" ... In that case i think why not live in Bay area itself :)<br /> <br /> But yes if you are in bay area, Paying 700+ for a decent place just does not make sense even with all the rebates. <br /> <br /> <br /> I am hoping my gut feeling is proven wrong :)<br /> <br /> I moved out of bay area last year to WA. I had mixed feelings about making the move, but except for the weather, I think it was a good decision. One year down the line, I feel happy about it. The home you get for 700K in bay area, you can get for 550K in Seattle.

If you are positive about U'r logic why don't you go ahead and file a lawsuit. Looks like your true intention of creating this thread is to create a divide among IV members. Already members had a tough few weeks (in terms of unity) after the Aug bulletin. Now you are poking another rift.<br /> <br /> The EB classification is for a future job. Since the person is qualified, he ports to EB2 midway so what. The GC is for a future job, and when the person gets his/her GC, he/she is qualified for that position at that time. So what is U'r logic??<br /> <br /> <br /> If you want to truly fight the system them fight for a common basis for EB classification. There are cases where the same job title has been classified under all 3 categories. Example <br /> <br /> Senior Programmer (say Bachelor's with 5 yrs exp)<br /> <br /> Files under EB1 : because he/she came L1, qualification might be few yrs exp.<br /> Files under EB2 : because he/she has 5 yrs of exp and the attorney was smart to classify it as EB2.<br /> Files under EB3 : because of company policy or based on bad attorney advice (conservative approach).<br /> <br /> The above example shows that if U'r company and attorney is smart U can get U'r GC faster. <br /> <br /> If you are keen on doing a lawsuit why not <br /> File one against USCIS for wasting thousands of visa's over the past few years, which is the source of this backlog. <br /> Or file one against DOL for taking n number of years to get the LC done. <br /> Or file one against 245 filers who clogged the USCIS system which is causing USCIS to be inefficient.<br /> Man, you hit the nail on the head !!! Thats precise the point, I was trying to say in my last post (somewhere on page 1) ... The whole eb2/eb3 qualification, job requirements etc can be rigged easily by employer/lawyers ...There is no black and white in this game ..</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot Rose Gold Chronograph 6 <img src="http://www.ioffer.com/img/item/187/074/104/new-luxury-burberry-men-s-chronograph-watch-bu7503-bad89.jpg" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch.

If obama is elected president I will not buy the car and will basically go into 100% saving mode because you never know when Obama\Durbin might kick us out. Nobody knows what sort of draconian rules are going to be put in place for EB community by Obama and Durbin. I have no confidence in Obama\Durbin to show any compassion\fairness towards Eb community. There might be hundreds of thousands of people holding off on purchasing a house, car or any big ticket item because of Obama\Durbin cir and there hostility towards Eb community. Hope I am proven wrong but I have not heard a single positive thing out of obama regarding EB community. Even when he was specifically asked about the green card delays faced by EB community he gave a evasive reply. He is always boasting about support for legal immigartion i.e family based immigration and not eb. I am not a obama hater nor a mcccain supporter but just a worried EB guy worried about his bleak future with Durbin lead cir.<br /> <br /> <br /> It is not clear what will happen to the existing applications, I don't think it would be simple to throw all the pending EB based GC applications out of the window and have everybody fall in line again in the new point based system....</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses New luxury Burberry Men#39;s <img src="http://s7ondemand4.scene7.com/is/image/Signet/8363811%3F%24detail475%24" alt="burberry round rose gold chronograph watch.

Birnbaum (http://projects.washingtonpost.com/staff/email/jeffrey+h.+birnbaum/), Please send e-mail tokstreet@washpost.com<br /> <br /> Mark J. Penn is a man who wears many hats: high-paid political and corporate pollster, chief executive of an international communications and lobbying company, and chief strategist to New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.<br /> <br /> Enough connections for you?<br /> <br /> Well, there are more. Penn's firm, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide -- with 2,000 employees and $300 million a year in revenue -- owns BKSH &amp; Associates, the major lobbying firm chaired by Charles R. Black Jr. That's right, Black, counselor to Republican presidents, reports to Clinton's top strategist.<br /> <br /> The connections get even more entangled. Burson-Marsteller is a subsidiary of WPP Group, a London-based advertising and PR giant that owns many of the biggest names on K Street. These include Quinn Gillespie &amp; Associates, Wexler &amp; Walker Public Policy Associates, Timmons &amp; Co., Ogilvy Government Relations Worldwide (formerly the Federalist Group), Public Strategies Inc., Dewey Square Group and Hill &amp; Knowlton.<br /> <br /> To be more precise, Penn's parent company employs as lobbyists and advisers an ex-chairman of the Republican National Committee (Edward W. Gillespie), a former House GOP leader (Robert S. Walker), a top GOP fundraiser (Wayne L. Berman), and the former media adviser to President Bush (Mark McKinnon).<br /> <br /> WPP's Democrats are just as well known. They include an ex-aide to President Jimmy Carter (Anne Wexler), an ex-aide to President Bill Clinton (Jack Quinn), an ex-Cabinet officer for Clinton and Bush (Norman Y. Mineta), and a former top presidential campaign adviser for Al Gore and John Kerry (Michael J. Whouley).<br /> <br /> The range of interests represented by these people is a staggering list of corporate America's who's who, with Penn himself a longtime adviser to Microsoft.<br /> <br /> "This is a classic example of how big money has inextricably intertwined the campaign advising and lobbying worlds of modern-day Washington with potential conflicts of interest all over the place," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, a watchdog group.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">12-20 08:47 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Resolve To End Hyper-Partisanship (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/12/resolve_to_end_hyperpartisansh.html) By Mort Kondracke | Roll Call, December 20, 2007 <br /> <br /> Suppose Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) wins the Democratic nomination and picks Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel (Neb.) or Independent New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as his running mate. Or, suppose Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) wins the GOP nomination and picks Independent Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) as veep.<br /> <br /> Suppose even further that, over this year's holidays, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and President Bush all resolve that next year they'll really try to live up to the pledges they all made in early 2007 to work across party lines to - as they all said - do the problem-solving work voters elected them for.<br /> <br /> Is it all fantasy? Perhaps it is, given the hyperpartisanship of contemporary politics. Yet, every poll on the subject indicates that Americans are fed up with their politicians' incessant tribal warfare and inability to address problems everyone agrees are becoming more serious from inattention. <br /> <br /> If the two parties' presidential nominees reached out across party lines to pick their running mates - Obama and McCain seem the likeliest to do so - it would serve as dazzling notice that times were changing. <br /> <br /> It would be even more astounding if Congressional leaders and Bush could decide that, instead of repeating the dismal, few-achievements record of 2007, they'd resolve to solve at least one major problem in 2008 - say, pass tough but compassionate comprehensive immigration reform. <br /> <br /> Over the holidays, America's political actors - and observers - would do themselves and the country a favor by reading Ron Brownstein's new book, "The Second Civil War," whose subtitle begins to tell it all: "How Extreme Partisanship Has Paralyzed Washington and Polarized America." <br /> <br /> Brownstein, formerly with the Los Angeles Times and now political director of Atlantic Media Co. publications, vividly describes the historical origins of "hyperpartisanship," a term he borrows from a sometime practitioner of it, former Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman. <br /> <br /> More importantly - Brownstein eloquently laments the consequences of the disease and offers some fascinating remedies, some derived from former President Bill Clinton, whom he interviewed at length. Brownstein doesn't suggest picking vice presidents across party lines. Those are my radical imaginings - though they are derived from conversations with participants in presidential campaigns. <br /> <br /> Brownstein has this right: America is the richest, most powerful nation on Earth, but its leaders can't agree on a plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil, can't balance the budget, can't provide health insurance to a sixth of its population, can't align its promises to retirees with its ability to pay the cost and can't agree on strategies to combat Islamic terrorism. <br /> <br /> Why not? Because solutions to these problems require bipartisan "grand bargains" that polarized politicians are unwilling to make. <br /> <br /> "Our politics today encourages confrontation over compromise," Brownstein writes. "The political system now rewards ideology over pragmatism. It is designed to sharpen disagreements rather than construct consensus. It is built on exposing and inflaming the differences that separate Americans rather than the shared priorities and values that unite them." <br /> <br /> Brownstein puts primary blame on conservative Republicans for the rise of "warrior" politics, especially former Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Texas), Bush and his former guru, Karl Rove, and their allies on talk radio. <br /> <br /> But he observes that Democrats are catching up in hyperpartisanship, flogged on by MoveOn.org and leftist bloggers. Mainstream media, too, encourage conflict over consensus. And the public has become ideologically "sorted," as well, making the GOP more conservative, Democrats more liberal and moderates torn. <br /> <br /> Brownstein gives rather more credit to Clinton than I would as a model centrist. He was that on policy - the "Great Triangulator" -but his personal misdeeds, slipperiness and tendency to respond savagely to threats made him as divisive as Bush, the "Great Polarizer." <br /> <br /> But how can we end the war and engender vigorous, substantive debate that leads to consensus? Brownstein recommends that states banish closed primaries and allow registered independents to participate in picking candidates. <br /> <br /> He also advises that political leaders look to a growing corps of cross-interest coalitions - such as the Business Roundtable, Service Employees International Union, AARP and National Federation of Independent Business - working to develop consensus solutions to problems such as health care and entitlement reform. <br /> <br /> But the prime requirement is presidential leadership - a willingness to spend time with leaders of the opposition party, include them in policy deliberations, really heed their concerns and try to build electoral coalitions and Congressional support of 55 or 60 percent, not Bush's 50-plus-one. <br /> <br /> "Imagine ... that such a president told the country that he would accept some ideas counter to his own preferences to encourage others to do the same. Surely such a president would face howls of complaint about ideological betrayal from the most ardent voices of his own coalition. <br /> <br /> "But that president also might touch a deep chord with voters. ... It has always been true that a president can score points by shaking a fist at his enemies. But a president who extends a hand to his enemies could transform American politics." Amen. <br /> <br /> Think about it over Christmas.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-42919871039449411432011-07-12T06:21:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.610-07:00dale earnhardt jr. makeupimages Dale Earnhardt Jr - wp023a <img src="http://images116.fotki.com/v108/photos/4/348354/9273121/DaleEarnhardtJr_RalphTribute-vi.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr dale" title="makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr dale" width="470" <br><li>makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr dale</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">shanti</div><div class="date">08-11 01:59 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">http://www.h1b.info/lca_job_list.php?name=CNN+AMERICA+INC&company=cnn&city=&state=&year=ALL <br /> Nice to send to Lou :)</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr dale <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhqbbE4ASRKtfjFWJI9PcG-lLWpyhJlt3RBsT7H49p4_77tju_y4DKe22reKv4LWwl8Dx5dQCssWLA-cEO7VDO00hGZS2j0ekvbWJaXdTUA-zn4i3HZdC_qqNOL7h8UegVuNX_ylm9Ln6/s640/Dale-Earnhardt-Jr-NASCAR-Transformers-3-Cars-7.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. 2010 makeup Dale Earnhardt" title="2010 makeup Dale Earnhardt" width="470" <br><li>2010 makeup Dale Earnhardt</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">12-27 07:31 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">'A Hole to Bury You'<br /> A first-hand account of how China's police treats the citizens it's supposed to serve and protect. (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203731004576045152244293970.html)<br /> By TENG BIAO | Wall Street Journal<br /> <br /> On Dec. 23, the United Nations International Convention for the Protection of All Persons From Forced Disappearance came into force. China has declined to accede to this convention. My experience that same day is just one of many examples of how the authorities continue to falsely imprison Chinese citizens.<br /> <br /> That evening, I was in the Xizhimen area of Beijing chatting with my colleagues Piao Xiang, Xu Zhiyong and Zhang Yongpan. Ms. Piao had been disappeared after she and I went to Dandong on Oct. 7 to argue the court case of Leng Guoquan, a man framed by the police for drug trafficking; she had only been released on Dec. 20. Her abductors had been officers from the state security squad of the Public Security Bureau. I asked her to narrate the entire process of her disappearance in detail.<br /> <br /> Later, I suggested to Mr. Zhang, "Let's go and see Fan Yafeng's mom." The day before, we had contacted fellow human rights lawyer Fan Yafeng and found out that he was under strict house arrest. But he had said that his mother was going to be alone at home in the evening and so I thought we should go see her.<br /> <br /> Because I used to go there frequently I remembered clearly where she lived. As Mr. Zhang and I entered the block of flats and started walking up the staircase, I had a feeling that someone was following us. Observing that we went to the third floor, a young security guard asked us whom we were visiting. We said, "We're seeing a friend." Immediately, he called out for someone else to come up.<br /> <br /> We knocked on the door and were greeted by Mr. Fan's mother. But as we entered the flat, the security guard came with us, and a person in plainclothes stormed in just behind him. The man in plainclothes demanded to check our IDs in a very coarse manner. I asked him in a loud voice, "What sort of people are you? How can you enter a private residence without permission?"<br /> <br /> The plainclothes man said, "I am a police officer. We want to check your ID cards." "You're a police officer? I want to see your police ID." "If I am telling you I'm a police officer, then that's what I am. What are you doing here?" "Is that your business? How can you prove you're a police officer if you don't show your police ID card?"<br /> <br /> The situation was escalating. I ducked my head and used my phone to send out a message on Twitter, and Mr. Zhang made a phone call to a friend. It was then about half past eight. The plainclothes guy made a phone call asking for reinforcement. Later I learned that at that moment our own reinforcements were mobilizing.<br /> <br /> Two police officers showed up. One of them showed us his police ID. I asked Mr. Zhang to note down his police ID number and name, Shi Ligang, and pass it on to our Twitter friends. Then they wanted to check our IDs. I said, "According to Article 15 of the National Identity Card Law you have no right to check them in the present situation."<br /> <br /> He said, "We are conducting an investigation in accordance with the People's Police Law." I said, "You can only question people who are suspected of having broken a law. We've just come to a friend's home for a visit, so you have no right to question us."<br /> <br /> We quarreled for some time, and that state security squad officer in plainclothes kept making phone calls asking for more people to come over. The situation was getting worse, so I sent another Twitter message.<br /> <br /> I talked to Mr. Fan's mother and the older state security squad officer told her not to speak to me. I got angry. "You're not even disclosing your identity, do you think you can enter other people's flat as you please and order the flat-owner about�not to mention that that's illegal, it lacks every human feeling!"<br /> <br /> "You should think more clearly. Don't talk so much about the law with me. Do you know where we are? We are on Communist Party territory!"<br /> <br /> The state security squad officer later tried to beat me. I warned him, "As you haven't shown me any documentation, you don't even have the right to seek a conversation with me. Don't push me." Then he said, "Don't you know what place you are in? This is China! Now you've come here, don't think you can leave again!"<br /> <br /> After about 15 minutes, a large contingent of police officers arrived. I was in the washroom at the time. I could hear the police dragging Mr. Zhang forcefully downstairs. The plainclothes man banged madly at the door of the washroom, cracking a hole into the thin wooden panel of the door. I said, "I just want to use the washroom!" He said, "You're not allowed to," and kept banging against the door. He inserted his hand through the hole he had made, and undid the latch. Several police officers dragged me out. The state security squad officer took away my glasses. I am severely near-sighted, and as a result I was quite unable to see clearly. Later, I wasn't even able to read a police officer's ID number.<br /> <br /> I protested loudly against this treatment. A whole group of police officers pushed, shoved, pulled and dragged me down the stairs and into a police van. Mr. Zhang's glasses and mobile phone had also been taken away. As we were dragged away we were also beaten. My hand had been grabbed so violently that it was injured in a few places. A police officer wanted to take away my mobile phone, I resisted with all my force and he eventually desisted.<br /> <br /> When we arrived at the Shuangyushu police station, I said, "You have no right to take us into a police station. You can't be ignorant of the provision of Article 9 of the Police Law!"<br /> <br /> "Want to tell us what it says?"<br /> <br /> "'In the following four sets of circumstances, the police may take citizens to a public security bureau for questioning: (1) if the person has been accused of having committed a crime, (2) if a person has been discovered at the suspected scene of a crime, (3) if a person is suspected of a crime and if their identity is not clear, (4) if a person carries goods with them that may have been stolen." And if you want to check a person's ID card, you can only do that in the following cases: (1) suspicion of illegal behavior, (2) control of a site, (3) sudden incidents severely endangering the social order, or (4) other situations stipulated in the law - and such a law stipulating other situations must have been passed by the National People's Congress or its Standing Committee." I knew this stuff inside out.<br /> <br /> "But you are a person 'whose identity is unclear.'"<br /> <br /> "But according to the law, persons whose identity is unclear can only be checked if they are 'suspected of having committed a crime.' I don't belong in that category." Since there are more and more activists nowadays who are familiar with these two legal provisions and use them to challenge the police, I've been told by police officers that they hate the very bones of the legislators who created them.<br /> <br /> Mr. Zhang and I were taken to two different rooms on the second floor of the police station. A gang of police officers again came to wrestle my mobile phone from me; and there was another scuffle. All the things inside my pocket were taken out. I protested. Seven or eight police officers loudly insulted me. Two or three were swearing especially viciously, using mafia slang words to curse me.<br /> <br /> A police officer shouted at me to sit; I pushed the chair over with my foot. Several officers rushed forward and twisted my arms, punched my head and choked me, and pushed me to the ground. They took me to another room. In the corridor I cried out, "I am a law teacher, I know whether or not you are violating the law." I said this primarily to make them understand that they were dealing with someone who knew the law, to make them refrain from acting rashly and inflicting too much pain�and it was also meant for the ears of Mr. Zhang and the officers who were interrogating him.<br /> <br /> Several police officers pushed me into a corner and one guy came up and fiercely dragged at my tie until he finally managed to pull it off, and threw it to the floor. The police officers pointed at my nose and coarsely swore at me again, and again they cried, "Do you know where you are? If we beat you, what can you do?"<br /> <br /> After a while, a police officer came in and said that we had been detained because we had gone to Fan Yafeng's home. One officer, who I heard addressed as Xu Ping, went from merely loudly interrogating to roaring accusations at me: "O ho, that's how it is! In that case, you belong to the enemy! F- your mother, you went to see Fan Yafeng! That c-! In that case we don't have to talk about legal constraints at all! And you motherf- won't get out of here again! You traitors, you dogs! Counter-revolutionaries! The Communist Party feeds you and pays you and you still don't acknowledge how good it is! You keep insulting the Party!� We will treat you just like an enemy!"<br /> <br /> I was very curious. "How do you treat your enemies?"<br /> <br /> "Like Falun Gong!"<br /> <br /> "And how do you treat Falun Gong?"<br /> <br /> "You'll find out by and by."<br /> <br /> I felt a pang of horror.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.fulcrumgallery.com/product-images/P206312-01/2005-dale-earnhardt-jr-collage-car-number-driver-and-signature.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup.

All are extremist nuts and never had any mainstream following. But there is a difference: Forget the fact that he is a pathetic opportunist who switched from financial analysis to immigrant bashing simply because the latter generated more ratings than the former. He positions himself as a anti-globalization nativist, and would find more sympathizers in the loony left rather than the loony right. Tancerdo etc are thinly disguised white-supremacists / nativists and their natural base is the far far right Ku Klux Klan nuts.<br /> <br /> In any case, there is nothing special about this election which teaches us to ignore the idiots. Most americans are distinctly uncomfortable with the rants of these guys and therefore Lou dobbs would always remain irrelevant.

But I kind of remember there were some harsh provisions for people using AC 21 in CIR 2007 version. I am trying to find out the details about it.<br /> Correct me if I am wrong.<br /> <br /> I dont think there were any provisions in 2007 CIR that curtail job movement using AC21 for greencard holders. I think we are over-analyzing this - that Sen.Durbin is against lot of H1B provisions is evident. Also he may not be in favor of visa-recapture for EB immigrants - but I dont think he will single handedly drive immigration rules and make the life of all EB immigrants tough. He may have some support in changing the rules in H1B - but I dont think even he is not that negative regarding GC aspects - even if he is, may not get widespread support for it in congress. <br /> <br /> Also Obama has shown his governing style (from the campaign, debate etc) - which is very level headed based on a bunch of things and discussions rather than following "one" ideological path blindly. If at all I think his administration will be more favorable to EB GC reform and somewhat unfavorable H1B reform (and completely pro-undocumented reform just like McCain). This is based on my interpretation of his immigration policies on his site and based on his general campaign.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://heidi.hiblogger.net/282146.html">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://raceworld.com/rpm-cart/pix/862.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr." title="makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr." width="470" <br><li>makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">senthil1</div><div class="date">04-06 09:50 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">But congress needs to find some solution for H1b mess like applying 150k H1b in one day. If no alternative solution is suggested some part/all part of this bill may be considered. US companies will not be impacted as they are not h1b dependent and they are hiring more than 50% US workers so they may not oppose that much. If Microsoft lobby for 200k H1b but still if they could not get any h1b why will they lobby it? American companies will either ask unlimited H1b or restrictions for bodyshopping so that everyone will get fair share of H1b. Lottery is shame as many deserving candidates will be rejected but many lower grade people may enter there is no merrit in selection of H1b. If IV is opposing this they need to give some solution for H1b mess. Otherwise no point. Also the bill was introduced by both Democrat and Republican. So Whether it is passed or not it is going to be considered<br /> <br /> Anti-H1B lobby wants to make the system so difficult that it will be impossible to complete all the requirements. Their strategy is, if they cannot eliminate H-1B program, they will make in non-workable. Also, this bill was in the making for more than two years. They are timing their articles in the press with this bill because of a reason. Don't simply reject it by saying that "this is not going to pass". Taking this bill lightly will be a mistake.<br /> <br /> Please inform your friends, colleagues and employer about this very serious problem.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atthetrackracing.com/images/2010/misc/DEJ-06296010-L.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr" title="makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr" width="470" <br><li>makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Arjun</div><div class="date">07-14 08:16 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I think all this mess is caused by H1B limit being 195k between year 2000 and 2004, before and after that 65k.

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: <br /> <br /> "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. ! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair dale earnhardt jr costume <img src="http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/news/auto_shows/2008_sema_show_specialty_equipment_market_association_show_auto_shows/appearing/chevrolet_camaro_concepts_auto_shows/chevrolet_camaro_concepts/checam_sema_dalejr_cpt_4/1741092-1-eng-US/checam_sema_dalejr_cpt_4_cd_gallery.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. wallpaper Dale Earnhardt#39;s" title="wallpaper Dale Earnhardt#39;s" width="470" <br><li>wallpaper Dale Earnhardt#39;s</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">rockstart</div><div class="date">07-15 08:01 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">There are two things you can do wait for the system to change to the way you want or else change yourself the way system wants.

Renting is not smart. period. your money is gone every month. You are not getting that money back. <br /> <br /> When you own a home, the money goes towards a mortgage, and although most of it goes to interest at first, all interest paid is tax deductible which is a huge chunk of change every year. I get more money back as an owner than a renter and in the long run I save more AND own the home.<br /> <br /> 30 year renter vs 30 year home owner? That is not rocket science.<br /> <br /> <br /> here is a good point about long term housing prospects. I for one am glad that GC delay saved me from buying a house.<br /> this is from an article<br /> ------------------------------------<br /> Why do I think housing is in the tank for the long term?<br /> <br /> First, I listen to people smarter than I am - a key to success from investing to recreation league baseball. When my rec team had its first losing season - after twelve consecutive great seasons (two per year) I did the logical and hired a professional coach. They were winners the next season. Ditto for analyzing stuff - and I follow Ivy Zelman and Whitney Tilson. They have been dead on about the mortgage meltdown - and see a larger one coming.<br /> <br /> Listening to them, reading data and being objective has led me to see the key to a rebound in housing is clearing inventory - too much supply and too little demand, and since lower than five percent interest rates have not spurred buying, supply is the issue. Supply comes from the sale of existing homes, the sale of new homes, and the sale of foreclosed homes.<br /> <br /> * Typically ten to fifteen percent of Americans sell or want to sell their home in a given year. Recent survey data shows the number is now 30%. Keep that in mind.<br /> * New home sales are incredibly low. Market wisdom said home building stocks would rise once the new housing start rate hit a million and inventory became tight. New home starts are roughly half of that and there ain't no rebound. As the poet said, times, they be a changing.<br /> * People are not selling, and builders are not building, not just because people are not buying - it is because prices are low and going lower and the driver here is foreclosures. Data can be found here, there and everywhere but the salient data points are a) banks are accelerating foreclosures, b) the next wave of resets of mortgages, the cause of most foreclosures, does not peak until the summer of 2011, c) banks are already sitting on more than half a million homes they have not listed for sale, and the whopper is d) the New York Times has reported that there are nineteen million empty housing units and only six million are listed for sale.<br /> <br /> This last point, when combined with another couple of million foreclosed homes, then with desire for people wanting to sell their home as soon as they can, means excess inventory for as far as the eye can see. I originally projected housing prices would, nationally, bottom at the end of 2011 and prices would begin to pick up in mid 2012. I may have been premature. With resets peaking in mid defaults will probably peak in early Q4 2011; this means foreclosure listings will peak in mid-summer 2012, after the peak selling season, not good for managing down inventory. Assuming demand picks up - a near heroic assumption at this time as interest rates will be higher and unemployment could be the same or higher at that time - you will start to see inventory declining in a meaningful way until 2013 at the earliest.<br /> <br /> I have focused on supply - was I too cavalier about demand? Well, that is more problematic - resets, defaults and foreclosures are fourth grade math and although the only thing I knew about housing was my own mortgage before this mess started, I can do fourth grade math and every forecast I have made about foreclosures and inventory has been right within a 30-45 day period.<br /> <br /> Using fourth grade math as our primary tool does have value in estimating demand. Roughly 40% of demand in the peak year - 2006 - was sub-prime or near sub-prime - and these buyers are out of the market for a considerable period of time. And a very large percentage - some analysts estimate as high as a third - of all sales were for investment and second homes. Most of this demand is gone for the foreseeable future. Add tightening credit standards, recession ravaged incomes and personal balance sheets, and a new frugality and it is hard to see demand in 2013 or 2014 climbing past 50% of demand in 2006. Even if the FHA does not go bust - which it will, requiring another Treasury bailout.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot makeup Dale Earnhardt Jr. <img src="http://www.oldblackwell.net/bilder/earnhardt4.jpg" alt="dale earnhardt jr. makeup. makeup dale earnhardt jr. and" title="makeup dale earnhardt jr. and" width="470" <br><li>makeup dale earnhardt jr. and</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">ArkBird</div><div class="date">01-06 07:00 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">The palestine problem was created by British people without considering Palestian's approval for the same.

(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/8229075/Oppression-born-of-fear.html)<br /> Daily Telegraph Editorial<br /> <br /> An over-mighty state crushes those whom it deems its opponents. Yet in doing so it exposes its weakness. Take the cases of Liu Xiaobo, who yesterday marked his 55th birthday in prison in China, and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, currently on trial in Russia. The reaction of the Chinese government earlier in the year to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Mr Liu was hysterical. Because the dissident and his family were not permitted to attend the ceremony, the prize was placed on an empty chair, a potent symbol of the oppressive nature of the Communist Party; in short, a diplomatic disaster.<br /> <br /> The relentless pursuit of Mr Khodorkovsky has likewise further tarnished Russia's image. The former head of the oil company Yukos is likely to be sentenced to a six-year term this week for embezzlement and money-laundering, shortly before he completes an earlier, eight-year sentence for tax evasion. The charge that he stole �16.3 billion of oil revenues between 1998 and 2003 is absurd. And the political nature of the case has been made crystal clear by Vladimir Putin, the prime minister, who said earlier this month that "a thief must sit in jail". Mr Khodorkovsky's cardinal sin, in Mr Putin's eyes, is to have provided funding to opposition parties. His second sentence will mean he will be out of the way well beyond the presidential election scheduled for March 2012.<br /> <br /> These two men are being hounded because they challenge the status quo, which in China is the political monopoly of the Communist Party, and in Russia, bureaucratic cronyism. In both countries, those who have grown rich and powerful under such conditions want to keep things as they are. Yet the very intensity of the persecution reveals a fear at the heart of each system that its authority is more fragile than it might appear.

Seriously? Who is this person who would be sadder if I gave him money? I would like to meet him.<br /> <br /> You people need to stop reminiscing about your childhood days and how happy your childhood was even though you had no money. I have a feeling that your child doesn't really care. Sure, give your child lots of love, but for Christ's sake, if you can afford it, don't make him / her spend his / her childhood in a small cramped apartment just because you had to.<br /> <br /> You are confused. Money alone cannot buy happiness. People with less money are all not sad. There is a difference between what people are saying in this forum and what you are implying that they said. <br /> Your child will be happy in rented house too. There are advantages with renting. There are various factors other than space alone. This does not imply that your child will be sad in a bigger house.

The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation. <br /> <br /> By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way. <br /> <br /> The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again.

I know of a close friend who went thru a similar situation regarding distress sale of the house but finally it all worked out. So keep the faith and be strong. Good luck.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Hi, <br /> I applied for GC under schedule A in may06 .My husband filed as derivative.He received a notice of intent to denial last month .Reason being he did not have paystubs for a period of more than 6 months during 2000 and 2001.His employer at that time did not pay him even after he worked for 4 months then he took few more months to change his company(more than 180 days)In 2002 he went to India and came back .and in 2004 filed for a GC as primary petitioner and me as a derivative .last year he withdrew the petition after he received several RFE`S fearing the worst.Even though he no longer has GC filed as primary petitioner he received notice of intent to deny for the petion filed through me saying that his H1 was not legal as could`nt show proof for several months and that when he filed for AOS he used those years as work experience.<br /> and now another problem is I applied for EAD in march and have not received new ead.my old ead expired 10 days ago.and now Iam not working.<br /> We bought a house last year thinking that under schedule A we`ll get GC in no time.Now we know it is a terrible mistake.Now both of us can`t work and had to take my son out of daycare. and we have house payments to make.We put our house for sale weeks ago and so far no offers.I contacted local representative to expedite My EAD and also contacted USCIS to expedite it,<br /> citing financial burden.We are spending sleepless nights and have no clue what to do for my EAD and his AOS.pLEASE HELP.<br /> Did anyone face similar situation .Any suggestions are welcome.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2011 Rachel Leigh Cook Gallery <img src="http://u2.thpo.net/d8/h35S/i4F0/t4/wLO/sexy-celeb-rachael-leigh-cook-2.jpg" alt="rachael leigh cook fotos. sexy celeb rachael leigh cook" title="sexy celeb rachael leigh cook" width="470" <br><li>sexy celeb rachael leigh cook</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">kaisersose</div><div class="date">04-15 02:12 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I am on H1B and I485 is pending.

He said the realtor told him that there was bidding war and he kept rising it and eventually got the house for 1.2million. What stupidity. Doesn't he know about phantom bids that realtors use to jack up the price.:( This is last year end when housing here started crashing. I asked him how he is going to pay when his arm resets.

Apart from killing the innocent civilians, crazy war mongers started bombing schools and killing innocent school kids. Today two schools were bombed and more than 40 children have been massacred.<br /> <br /> Its sad to see school children being brutally killed by missles and tanks. I don't understand how people could blow up innocent kids, women and men under the name of self-defence? <br /> <br /> This world has gone crazy and there's no one questioning about this in-human atrocities committed against fellow human being. <br /> <br /> Lets us pray for those who are going thru this hardship, and for an immediate end to this war crime. <br /> <br /> How many more innocent civilians including children they are planning to kill?. All these so called peace loving nations blocking the UN from making a cease-fire resolution. Looks like so called freedom lovers want more innocent lives.<br /> <br /> When Mumbai was attacked by terrorists, whole world was united and supported the victim(India).

I have been fortunate as NYC is one of the best areas that kept its home value. I am certain this is not the case in 90% of the country but so far in NYC, the housing and renting market have only dropped slightly or remained stagnant in most areas here. In fact, some places are picking up again.<br /> <br /> I will admit that one unit (3 bedroom) that I was formerly renting out for 1900 had to be dropped to 1700 to compensate for the recession. But the house that the unit was located in (2 family house) appreciated in equity by 30,000 in 1.5 years (also in February 2009) amidst the economic downturn.<br /> <br /> As for generalizing, yes I understand that buying and owning is not for everyone, especially if your situation is temporary and you have no plans to stay in that area for long. But you are in America for God's sake. Take advantage of the system and don't be afraid of it. Why are you applying for your green card here if you dont plan to make it your home or long term? That just doesn't make sense to me. I know in the Philippines we cannot leverage as well as we can here with this system. I'm sure its the same in India? Correct me if I'm wrong.<br /> <br /> As for the housing bubble, it was bound to happen because banks were lending to people living beyond their means. That doesnt apply to us. Most immigrants are smart and don't buy a house unless they've done the math—even if the bank says we can afford it when we know we cannot. <br /> <br /> Renting, in my opinion, is a stepping stone. You rent only when you are saving to buy a home. You CANNOT rent your whole life, that is just a waste and like I said before, not smart. But smart people stop renting early and pay off their homes by their late 40s. At least that is what I am aiming for. Renting out my properties allow me to do that.<br /> <br /> With those rent/price ratio - it makes no sense indeed to rent. <br /> <br /> If I may ask you for a huge favor - could you please PM me more details about where specifically in Queens you have those kind of rent/price ratios?<br /> <br /> Since the market prices got so inflated - my experience is that the rent/price ratios are still wayy off historical trends. My impression (based on a few examples I have seen) is that in most of the situations - the rent would not cover the interest + property tax + maintenance, which would mean throwing away money if you buy. <br /> <br /> If indeed there are rent to buy ratios like the ones you have mentioned - then renting would be foolishness.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo Rachael Leigh Cook <img src="http://wallpapermovie.net/wallpaperOnizlemeDosyalar/Rachael_Leigh_Cook_in_Into_the_West_Wallpaper_4_800.jpg" alt="rachael leigh cook fotos. rachael leigh cook wallpaper." title="rachael leigh cook wallpaper." width="470" <br><li>rachael leigh cook wallpaper.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">08-14 11:27 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Convention Party Favors Include Face Time (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/13/AR2007081301067.html?hpid=topnews) By Jeffrey H. Birnbaum Washington Post Staff Writer, August 14, 2007<br /> <br /> Congress just completed ethics legislation designed to put distance between lawmakers and the interests that seek favors from them.<br /> <br /> But the people in charge of next summer's presidential nominating conventions are busy selling package deals that would put them closer together.<br /> <br /> The host committees of 2008's biggest political gatherings are soliciting corporations, wealthy individuals and others with a lot at stake in government decisions for seven-figure payments. In exchange, the givers receive all sorts of goodies, including access to lawmakers and other politicians. The more money the donors spend, the more access they get. Donors also garner valuable publicity for their businesses and the convention's locale, which has its own commercial payoff.<br /> <br /> Microsoft and AT&T, to name two, have been high-profile donors to the host committees of previous conventions.<br /> <br /> At the Republican convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul, donors of $5 million or more will receive (among many other things) a private dinner and a separate golf outing with the Republican leadership, according to a list of benefits distributed by the host committee.<br /> <br /> At the Democratic convention in Denver, a million-dollar contribution purchases invitations to a series of private events that feature Colorado's governor, Denver's mayor and members of the state's congressional delegation, among other special advantages.<br /> <br /> The host committees do not hide their cash-for-access offers; they flaunt them. "As a corporate sponsor, you will be invited to exclusive forums and special events where you will interact with our state's and the nation's government and business leaders," the Democratic solicitation states. "In financial terms, your sponsorship is an investment in the future."<br /> <br /> The host committees, which are run by local officials separate from the political parties, collect the tens of millions of dollars needed to put on the extravaganzas, which next year will take place for the Democrats in late August and for the Republicans in early September.<br /> <br /> Yet the marketing comes at a sensitive time. Congress just passed -- and President Bush is likely to sign into law soon -- a bill that aims to restrain the amount of influence lobbyists and their clients will have at the conventions.<br /> <br /> The legislation aims to stop lobbyists and lobbying groups from paying for lavish parties that honor the lawmakers and the congressional committees they are hired to influence most. Such parties, a staple of the previous conventions, have been criticized by government-reform groups as giving undue clout to interests that have lots of money.<br /> <br /> But the bill is silent about other kinds of parties and events, including those put on by the host committees. And those not only will continue but also appear likely to proliferate.<br /> <br /> Top givers to the GOP convention are invited to a private reception that will include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Sen. Norm Coleman and local mayors. They also will have the right to advertise in prime locations throughout the Twin Cities.<br /> <br /> The biggest contributors to the Democratic convention get invitations to all events sponsored by the host committee and special recognition in all host-committee publications.<br /> <br /> The nominating conventions, which are held in the late summer before presidential elections, have offered similar benefits packages before. Sponsors are the primary source for the money needed to put on these massive events, which bring together delegates from every state, a who's who of the nation's political establishment and journalists from around the world.<br /> <br /> Host committee representatives said they are promoting their cities and are seeking funds from corporations and others who want to make an impression locally and to a large national audience. Acting as a go-between for lawmakers and the interests that want to persuade them is a much more minor concern, they say.<br /> <br /> "We're not here to put on a bunch of parties to honor a bunch of individual members" of Congress, said Jeff Larson, interim chairman of the Minneapolis-St. Paul host committee. "We want to promote the quality of life we have here in Minnesota."<br /> <br /> "We're reaching out to a lot of constituencies, not just members of Congress," said Elbra Wedgeworth, president of the Denver host committee. "We are hoping to promote the Rocky Mountain west."<br /> <br /> Washington gadflies, however, see more calculation than that. Easy access to lawmakers and other senior Washington officials, they say, has long been a major attraction of these conventions and will remain so despite the recent legislation.<br /> <br /> "It's ironic given that the last thing Congress did before the August break is pass lobbying reform that included a provision limiting the parties that can be thrown at these conventions," said Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "That would suggest that they didn't mean it, which will really come as a surprise to no one."</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://autoritratto.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br />pictures Rachel Leigh Cook Actress <img src="http://www.celebrityfeetures.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/rachael-leigh-cook-wp.jpg" alt="rachael leigh cook fotos. rachael cook" title="rachael cook" width="470" <br><li>rachael cook</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">number30</div><div class="date">03-24 03:39 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">UN,<br /> <br /> I can't help asking this.<br /> I have been following your posts for a while.

Builders in Richland, Lexington and Kershaw counties saw a 33 percent drop to 1,082 single-family homes in the first three months of the year, according to the Home Builders Association of Greater Columbia.�<br /> ��We were expecting a downturn. I don�t know if I was expecting that much,� association executive director Earl McLeod said.�<br /> ��This is the worst I�ve ever seen it,� said builder David Beck, who has worked in the Columbia area for 17 years. �We�re just riding this to see what�s going to happen. I don�t think that it�s ever going to get back to the way it was.��<br /> -----------------------------------------<br /> ��The residential real estate industry ripple effect is a blood bath,� said David Marino of Irving Hughes, which specializes in representing tenants. �When we got hit hard in 2001 through 2003 in the tech side, the residential real estate guys took a lot of that space. Today, there�s no recovering industry sector to offset� the decline from housing-related companies.�<br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> From ABC 30. �That foreclosure crisis is hitting the Valley hard. Dozens of new homes will hit the auction block in Chowchilla this weekend.�<br /> �This three bedroom, two bath home has a starting price of 280-thousand dollars. That�s about 120-thousand dollars less than its previous price. And this is just one of 43 discounted homes that will be up for auction on Sunday.�<br /> �Project manager Ginger Hoggarth says this auction will be very different than those that sell foreclosed homes. �They are brand new homes and you do still get the one year warranty the builder would normally offer as well as a walk through.��<br /> ------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> �When the owners default, it leads to repossession rather than foreclosure, and these defaults are not included in the foreclosure data, said Moises Loza, HAC executive director. �It�s happening all over,� Loza said.�<br /> �Merced County, population 246,000, underwent a housing boom over the past few years that saw developments spring up on what used to be farmland, said Rep. Dennis Cardoza from Merced. Now, in towns like Atwater, housing values have dropped as much as 50 percent, the congressman said.�<br /> �The skeletons of houses where construction halted when the market went bust stand across a development where houses that sold for $400,000 just three years ago are now going begging at half the price.�<br /> --------------------------------------<br /> <br /> The Mountain View Voice. �Market conditions and tight money are causing some builders to shut down large housing projects here, despite relatively firm prices and brisk sales of completed homes.�<br /> �At least two large developments have been halted or dropped so far, after the builders were frightened off by negative signs in the housing market. Two others are rumored to face problems.�<br /> �Just east of Highway 237 near the Sunnyvale border is evidence of the trouble. At 505 E. Evelyn Ave., a maze of driveways makes its way around the huge lot but leads up to only four model homes on the corner. The other 147 have yet to be built, and there have been no signs of construction for nearly a year.�<br /> �Dave Best, the project manager at Shea Homes, denied rumors that Shea was having trouble getting bank loans for the project.�<br /> ��It�s not that we don�t have the money to build it, we just have decided not to put our efforts in that particular project,� he said. �When we determine the market has come back and it makes sense to build, we will continue.��<br /> ---------------------------------------------<br /> The Sacramento Bee. �After all the intellectual assessments and recital of statistics about the subprime loan crisis, a woman from Chicago asked the question on the minds of many people in neighborhoods where so many have lost their homes. She asked the question in a setting far removed from those neighborhoods, at a California conference hosted earlier this week by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.�<br /> ��I want to know � how many people are going to jail?� asked Yevette Boutall, director of a community development fund that works in lower-income neighborhoods of Cook County.�<br /> ��That�s how angry people are in communities,� said Boutall. �They want to know how many people are going to go to jail, people who misled them and got away with it and earned money on their misery.��<br /> �In San Francisco at the Fairmont Hotel, Boutall�s question went unanswered for the moment. But it struck a real note about people bearing the consequences of a time when mortgages and home prices went wild.�<br /> �Speakers at the San Francisco Fed conference uniformly estimated that 2 million households will surrender their keys to lenders in the next year or two. That was their prediction despite all the voluntary lender-government agreements, the millions of dollars for new nonprofit loan counselors and the average $40,000 to $70,000 a lender loses with every foreclosure.�<br /> ��I wish I had better news for you in the short term,� said Tom Cunningham, director of the risk monitoring and analysis group at the Fed�s San Francisco bank.�<br /> �He called the situation �unprecedented. We have never seen this before.��<br /> �What seemed new at the Fed conference was how few major ideas there are to stop it. Speakers defined the problem, defined proposals to help assure it doesn�t happen again. But they could not be encouraging about solutions.�<br /> �Speakers from the Fed, NeighborWorks America, the Center for Responsible Lending, Colorado Foreclosure Prevention Task Force and JPMorgan Chase talked about proposed legislation at state capitols and in Congress.

What they have asked you is usually in those types of investigations.<br /> <br /> There is a lot of things going on behind the scenes that many people are not aware of or totally clueless to.<br /> <br /> Many people are trying to make the GC easier for themselves whereas the real focus should be a defensive measure.<br /> <br /> Right now;<br /> <br /> VERMONT SERVICE CENTER is denying many, many h-1b's. These h-1b's are for companies who file greencards. If they are assessing that these companies do not have temporary jobs that require a degree then do you not think it is going to gravitate towards employment base greencards?<br /> <br /> They are figuring out through requesting of payroll records, w'2's, consulate denials, etc., that many, many people never joined companies; didn't get paid, transferred to other companies shortly upon arrival.<br /> <br /> It looks like USCIS/DOL have gone to zero tolerance and have devised ways to pierce through favorable rules protecting immigrant wannabe's.<br /> <br /> They pierce through 245k by going through possible immigration fraud by listing employment in the g-325a when a person didn't get paid and may not have had employer/employee relationship (i have actually seen this where USCIS cited possible immigration fraud due to this issue to trump 245k).<br /> <br /> USCIS is starting to challenge companies whether they have permanent jobs instead of temporary jobs; which looks like where this particular OP is going to go through. If they determine the job is temporary then that is going to spell doom for the EB greencard for him.<br /> <br /> People decided they were going to poke USCIS and take complaints to senators/congressmen (whom you all think are your friends but many of you do not realize that they are not your friends) and now everyong is going to see how the system in this country works. We are currently in a new day and age with immigration. Everyone should buckle their seat belts as this is going to be a real bumpy ride.<br /> <br /> UN - I don't think people who indulge in fraud or use wrong route, go to Senators or Congressmen - rather they want to stay unnoticed. Most people who lobby - lobby for a better system.<br /> <br /> No one is taking on or poking at USCIS.<br /> <br /> On another note - what is permanent job? There is absolutely no such thing called future job - ie job that will come into place after 5 or 10 years. A permanent job is a job which is permanent at the time of employment.<br /> <br /> When we talk about good faith employment - it is the relationship that exists during the terms of employment.<br /> <br /> While your analysis makes sense - we really never know what is happening behind the scenes.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-79497252696032196442011-07-12T05:14:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.610-07:00hair pin ups stylesimages pin-up girl style. <img src="http://photos2.demandstudios.com/DM-Resize/photos.demandstudios.com/getty/article/106/201/109882064.jpg%3Fh%3D1000%26w%3D460%26keep_ratio%3D1" alt="hair pin ups styles. want to wear your hair up." title="want to wear your hair up." width="470" <br><li>want to wear your hair up.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">waitnwatch</div><div class="date">05-24 12:03 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Communique,<br /> <br /> I would like to differ on the point of keeping H1-B numbers constant. To hire a H1-B a company has to show that they didnot get a US citizen with even the minimal qualifications for that particular job. Also the salary for the job has to be certified by the Department of Labor as at least the market rate if not higher. Under this scenario why should there be this artificial and arbitrary limit. Again most of the numbers nowadays is being picked up by the consultants so if a regular company like say Caterpillar wants to hire an engineer the numbers are just not available. <br /> <br /> While you do make a statement supporting no change in the numbers you justify your point by pointing to salary stagnation. Can you show a direct correlation between H1B and salary stagnation. I would more likely point to outsourcing as being more relevant to salary stagnation. If companies have a hard time hiring they would be more prone to outsourcing and it is always better to have a salary stagnated job in the US than not having the job at all.<br /> <br /> Finally about Lou Dobbs..... I have much better use for my time than watching him. His journalism is worse than tabloid journalism though I have the suspicion that he may have an eye on joining the National Enquirer after immigration is done as he would have nothing more to say to his current audience.<br /> <br /> My two cents!</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper want to wear your hair up. <img src="http://hairdesignbyrenata.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/freida-pinto-loose-waves-hair-salons-in-denver-co.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

My L1 was valid till APRIL 2006. So my intention was to work with L1 employer till April 2006 and then switch to H1 employer.<br /> <br /> H1 employer also applied for a change of status, which I was not aware of that time. I asked the H1 company's lawyer whether I could continue with my L1 employer after getting the H1 and she said it's fine.<br /> <br /> So I got the H1B approval in Oct 2005, but still continued with L1 employer till APRIL 2006, then switched to H1.<br /> <br /> Recently I came to know that this could be an issue. When I was filling the G-325A form, I wondered if I specify that I worked with the L1 employer till APRIL 2006, would they catch this?? Even if they catch , how big an issue would this be??<br /> <br /> If I put the dates to reflect the dates to show that I quit my L1 employer in Oct 2005 itself, would this be an issue?? I guess in this case, if by any chance they ask for any further evidence like pay stubs or W2 in that period of time, I would be in trouble.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> From what I have read from the forum, A lawful re-entry should clear the violation in my case right?? I haven't filed the I-485 yet. My I-140 is pending.<br /> Do they catch this during I-140 stage??<br /> <br /> ALSO CAN THEY DENY H1B DUE TO PREVIUOS VIOLATION OF STATUS, WHILE I RE-ENTER?? This is my biggest fear now!!!<br /> <br /> Can I go to Canada/Mexico for stamping? where would I get an appointment at the earliest??<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Thanks.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3236414/Filipiino_Pinup_Pussycat_Princess.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles. figurative pin up art#39; or" title="figurative pin up art#39; or" width="470" <br><li>figurative pin up art#39; or</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">seattleGC</div><div class="date">04-07 10:50 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">I am glad IV is taking a strong stand against this bill. IV should work with Compete America (they have more of a vested interests in this) to make sure this bill doesn't see the light of day. <br /> <br /> This bill is introduced by 'Pro-Illegal,pro-union and protectionist' section of Democratic party and 'Anti-immigration at all cost' section of the Republican party. I believe both these groups are fringe elements in both parties. But they could use this bill as a bargain chip for CIR and might get it passed because of it. So we should not take this lightly even if we might not be screwed by this. It will definitely hurt people coming behind us.<br /> <br /> Only reform H1b needs is to increase the quota or have no quota. And also to tie the H1b to the worker and not to the employee.

Gosh!! this thread is an autopsy of current affairs in EB immigration. Very good going, with what is now a misleading title.<br /> <br /> Do they have any filtering mechanism for lot of these fake future employer GC apps through sister/subsidiary or pay for GC companies. We have had few people come on these forums before or after approval of GC asking what happens if they never work for the sponsoring company. <br /> <br /> I personally know someone who got a GC in 2002 without ever working(not for sponsoring employer or even for some other company) and since never worked in the field they got GC. I bet that involved a lot of faking but slipped through every test.<br /> <br /> The number one thing USCIS does is look at how many petitions they have filed compared to number of people on payroll. If it is out of line then they start digging deeper. I have only seen them deny current persons ptition and not go after people who already have gotten greencard. Those iowa companies people have gottn greencard so we will have to wait and see what/if something will happen. I do know that uscis/ice/dol work at their own pace so there is significant time lag in their investigations.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://therese.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://fashion-allure.com/style/wp-content/uploads/009.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

Organizations that represent what is now the nation's largest minority group are beginning to achieve power commensurate with their numbers.<br /> <br /> "There's a real sense that the Latino community is key to the solution in this debate, so now they are reaching out to us more than ever," said Eric Gutierrez, lead lobbyist for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF. "Neither party wants to make a misstep politically."<br /> <br /> Such groups were practically in the room yesterday, maintaining contact as Democratic and Republican senators tried to hammer out a new immigration bill before a deadline set by Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) for today before he moved it last night to Monday. The contours began to emerge for a bill that would couple a tightening of border controls with a guest-worker program and new avenues for an estimated 12 million undocumented workers to work legally.<br /> <br /> Latino organizations know well that they have muscle to flex. A bill passed by the House last year that would have made illegal immigration a felony drove millions of Latinos into the streets in cities across the country last spring.<br /> <br /> Today, U.S. citizens of Latino descent, having eclipsed African Americans as the nation's largest minority, are far more organized and politically active. "We're not going to let them screw it up," said Brent A. Wilkes, LULAC's national executive director.<br /> <br /> LULAC, MALDEF, La Raza and the National Immigration Forum are part of a broad network of immigrant rights groups that hold nightly conference calls and strategy sessions on the legislation. The groups speak daily with top aides in Reid's and Kennedy's offices.<br /> <br /> The White House, well aware that immigration may offer President Bush his last best chance at a major domestic achievement for his second term, has worked hard to keep the groups on board, even as Bush has shifted to the right with a new plan that is tougher than the proposals he embraced last year.<br /> <br /> The White House held a meeting 2 1/2 weeks ago with Latino advocates, labor unions and civil rights organizations in which an adviser outlined an administration's policy based on increased border security and a temporary-worker program. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez have also met with some of the groups.<br /> <br /> "At least they are paying attention to us," said MALDEF President John Trasvi�a.<br /> <br /> The groups have also made it clear to Republicans that they are willing to press hard this year.<br /> <br /> "Power is not handed over. To get your place at the table, you have to fight for it," Wilkes said.<br /> <br /> <br /> Membership + Funding + Lobbying + Patience = Chance of Success<br /> Anything else = Absolute failure<br /> <br /> <br /> Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/Image/what-are-they-up-to-Madeline-Zima.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles. pin up at the back." title="pin up at the back." width="470" <br><li>pin up at the back.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">richshi</div><div class="date">05-24 09:58 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Lou dobbs is pure anti-immigrants. he has never been an advocate of legal immigrants, he is against H-1B.

The current rule punishes those who go to grad school full-time, especially if you did a PhD but do not qualify for EB1.<br /> <br /> I do agree that points raised by Rolling Flood is not well received by most in this forum.But I would pray that no one gets personal and keep the exchanges healthy.<br /> <br /> I do feel that this porting rule is a double edged sword with both pros and cons.But the question is : is it flawed enough to scrapped??<br /> <br /> I must add though, I see were Rolling flood is coming from.Just consider this scenario: Two guyz A&B graduate with a Bachelors degree at the same time.A decides to pursue higher studies and B takes up a job. After a year they file for B' EB3 at his work, while A is still at school.By the time A graduates and a EB2 is filed for him , B is also eligible for EB2.But here is the catch,B gets a much earlier PD than A.So was A a dumb dude that he decided to go to grad school.Does academic experience count for nothing against work experience??? <br /> <br /> Its something to ponder upon.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.shoonetwork.com/blog/tag/united-states/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.ehow.com/images/a04/ih/6q/1950s-pin_up-hairstyles-short-hair-800X800.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

So, as it stands, these companies will not be able to hire anyone from top business schools. And we are not talking about desi consulting companies here (no pun intended). <br /> <br /> Again, this bill embodies the basic principle that displaces US workers do not want to understand:<br /> "What is good for the economy may not be good for an individual". <br /> <br /> And I say that because I have been myself displaces 2 times in my life, and every time, I have fallen (or stumbled), I have walked an extra mile to get a better life. <br /> <br /> I just feel sorry for people like me and many others who came to this country with a different mindset and now find themselves in the midst of the worst anti-immigrant clime that has existed in a long time.<br /> <br /> That said, I feel obligated to remind everyone - "Do yourself a favor and do everything within your means to make a meaningful change, self-help is the best help you will get"<br /> <br /> - Raj<br /> <br /> What about professional services? Like IBM global services, Oracle consulting etc.... all these companies thrive on after sales customization and support based on professional services contract and there are thousands of h1b visa holders doing professional services. It is also outsourcing of a employee to a client implementing their system. Look at SAP, Siebel consultants, they are outsourced at client places for years together to finish implementations and their work locations are changed based on client's needs from time to time in between jobs - this is again a huge pool of H1bs.<br /> I used to work fulltime for a company in their professional services group and travelled on the job to a lot of places. The company thrives on h1b resources for their high pressured jobs and they always bring in people from outside the country to do their jobs.<br /> <br /> I think outsourcing employees to a different location is a part and parcel of H1b, and this bill is nailing exactly on that. It is aimed solely to purge out H1bs from the country. <br /> <br /> So all said and done, we may now go down based on a racially motivated bill. I am not sure what it takes to educate the law makers, I would like to see the senior personnel at IV and more analysts to look into what can be done on this bill.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair retro hair styles <img src="http://www.kissandmakeup.tv/Christina%2520pin%2520up.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

In these places also, the above mentioned homes will cost $450000 and up.<br /> <br /> 2) Go with an old condo/town home (in Bay Area, usually an old house is 25+ years YOUNG!!!) and after 5+ years look for an old independant home and after another 5+ years, move to your dream home.

And one more thing, are these places really worth for spending this much for houses? (I know its a personal choice and lot of factors come in to play...) <br /> <br /> 3) Move to a more affordable place so that even if there are some hick ups in career or other ups and downs in life, it won't affect the mortage payment (considering ones personal interests and other factors like employment opportunities, climate, diversed community etc etc.) - places like Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, Atlanta etc. (feel free to add other cities also).<br /> <br /> Please comment/share your thoughts (I am agreeing there may be slight variation in above price ranges) and really sorry if we discussed this in any other threads....<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> B+ve</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://edlain.com/blog/index.php?cat=1">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.aaa-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2010-hairstyles.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

Let the stupid EB3 folks and bachelors' degree holders sort out their own mess.<br /> <br /> You are just like those folks who think:<br /> <br /> "As long as I am not affected, I dont care".<br /> "As long as people behind me in the queue are affected, I dont care".<br /> "As long as other people lose visas, opportunities, I dont care, because other people's loss has to be my game. Its a zero sum game". If EB3 scum is filtered out by Durbin-Grassley bill, I and my scientist friends can get some breathing room in this crowded queue filled with dumbasses who never bothered to do a Ph.D.<br /> <br /> Nice attitude.<br /> Really rimzhim, stick to research. I dont think you will ever be a leader and lead in anything.<br /> <br /> I would give kudos to core group and the EB3 dumbass like Aman Kapoor, who, despite having EAD himself is actually sticking up for people who are on H1B and facing the risk of purge by Ron Hira and Chuck Grassley.<br /> <br /> If Aman Kapoor and core group thought like you are thinking, maybe this organization would have never existed. <br /> <br /> So go and spend you precious time with your job, whatever it is that you do that makes you a scientist. This organization is catering to dumbasses on Eb3, and the stupid little bachelor degree holders who arent doing a real job. <br /> <br /> And go and become the "H1B friend" of Ron Hira. That way, Ron can say "Many of my friends are on H1B".</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://1t7.ru/cms_stat.html">more...</a><br><br /><br />house how to pin up curls.

I strongly support his initative. I think his letter is original and from his heart. It is more authentic and human than what some on this forum are suggesting here. I think his gut feeling on this one is more important than the calculated steps IV has been taking so far. <br /> These kind of authentic letters from members like pani would give IV a more strong foundation to focus their energy. I think all those who want to write letters to the President, Senator, Congressmen, USCIS, DOL, DOS, DOJ, etc should do so and also should write the letter on their own instead of copying one. The reasons, sentiments and purpose will add more flavour to the whole thing. I would go one step further to suggest that some should write the letter in Spanish, French, Mandarin, Hindi, Urdu, etc, etc, if they think that they can express themselves better in their own language.<br /> Pani once again I would like to say that you are doing the right thing.<br /> <br /> PS: When the ship is sinking everyone wants to escape but the one who is aggresive to save himself has more chance of living than the other who is waiting for someone to save him.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://mastermiha.co.cc/pages/referer.php?SID=khgiuffs9d82uog1s2gq8lsvs2">more...</a><br><br /><br />pictures Hair spray holds the pin-up <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAm_eryxhAPJbb49xLG8dDoQ-eSeCv5C9dNM4JO4TieoshmHhRPBAxN22FP5QqawWHJg679sduoINWS8UtPPdT52CeQALPrAu-IYYq3Nr_-oZb371jq5glibHoHlD1zry0rlTF8vM_70/s1600/kerri+w.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles.

Human rights activists allege that police planted evidence and manufactured testimonies, and Indian judges have criticized the Dec. 24 judgment.<br /> <br /> Soli Sorabjee, a former attorney general, called the ruling "shocking."<br /> <br /> "Binayak Sen has a fine record," he said. "The evidence against him seems flimsy. The judge has misapplied the section. And in any case, the sentence is atrocious, savage."<br /> <br /> Sen, a pediatrician, has worked for decades to help people displaced by violence and government land seizures in India's mineral-rich regions. Despite the country's booming economy, hundreds of millions of Indians remain mired in poverty - a stubborn inequality that has helped fuel a deadly Maoist insurgency in as many as 20 of India's 28 states.<br /> <br /> The ragtag Maoist rebels, called Naxalites after Naxalbari, a village in West Bengal state where the movement was born in 1967, seek to gain power through armed struggle. They claim to fight for the poor and India's marginalized tribal groups but have also been accused of widespread atrocities. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called the Naxal movement the "biggest single threat to India's internal security."<br /> <br /> Sen, who was arrested in 2007 and was not granted bail for two years, says he was targeted solely because he was a vocal critic of the government's use of armed groups to push villagers out of mineral-rich forest areas. His sentencing comes as major economies, including the United States and China, are seeking access to India's growing markets - a sign of the country's emergence as an economic superpower.<br /> <br /> "Anyone in India who dissents or questions the superpower script is ostracized," said Kavita Srivastava, national secretary of the People's Union for Civil Liberties, of which Sen is a vice president. "Sen's arrest is happening because this government is extremely anti-poor. Our much-praised 9 percent growth is coming at the cost of displacing millions of people with land that is being given away for mining and corporate development."<br /> <br /> Sen's difficulties with Indian authorities have drawn global attention before. In 2008, an effort led by 22 Nobel laureates failed to secure Sen's release on bail so he could travel to Washington to receive the prestigious Jonathan Mann Award for his efforts to reduce the infant mortality rate and deaths from diarrhea.<br /> <br /> This time, protests erupted after a court in the eastern state of Chhattisgarh convicted Sen on two counts of sedition and conspiracy, sentencing him to life imprisonment. He was found not guilty of a third charge of waging war against the state, a crime punishable by death.<br /> <br /> A growing number of Indian intellectuals and human rights activists have spoken out on his behalf this week.<br /> <br /> "Binayak Sen has never fired a gun. He probably does not know how to hold one," historian Ramachandra Guha wrote in the Hindustan Times. "He has explicitly condemned Maoist violence, and even said of the armed revolutionaries that theirs is an invalid and unsustainable movement. His conviction will and should be challenged."<br /> <br /> Sen's wife, also a doctor, said in an interview that she is launching an international campaign to do just that.<br /> <br /> "He is a person who has worked for the poor of the country for 30 years," Ilina Sen said. "If that person is found guilty of sedition activities when gangsters and scamsters are walking free, well, that's a disgrace to our democracy."<br /> <br /> <br /> Nobel Laureates Unable to Win Release of Doctor (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/29/AR2008052903578.html?sid=ST2010122803216) By Nora Boustany | Washington Post</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://populuxebooks.com/blog/">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup A 1950s pin-up hairstyle for <img src="http://www.curly-hair-styles-magazine.com/images/wedding-hair-up-dos-for-curly-hair-06.jpg" alt="hair pin ups styles. how to pin up curls.

So far, the majority of the vote is "against" rather than "for". I myself am not a big fan of the proposal becauses it deminishes efforts put in by legal immigrats like ourselves but regardless consider it necessary for us to support as it currently is the only bill alive including retrogression relief along with amnesty. <br /> <br /> Media generates publicity by twisting a small fraction of reality.

I am sure he will make the best of it to promote negativism towards any relief efforts regardless of it being amnesty or retrogression relief.

Look at the specific neighborhood you have mind and you may find that the situation there is not exactly what is shown on CNN.<br /> <br /> As an example the DFW area is doing alright inspite of the gloomy picture painted by the media at the national level. Used homes will take longer to sell, but it is nowhere as bad as Florida or CA. And we are not discussing selling here anyway...we are discussing buying.<br /> what is DFW area (is it dallas ) ? I agree with what you say but in 90 % of the areas it will fall.<br /> In the end people have to take their own decisions and live with it (and I guess thats why many (who have already bought houses) are supporting home ownership) ..that is logical ..no one likes to admit a mistake (not saying it is a mistake).<br /> my views and thinking is clear on this ..why should I buy something now at a high price ..knowing that it has a good chance of falling down by 10 - 15 %.<br /> (And on top of it ..when I have to deal with USCIS).</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper Blouse.

My point is consulting is not new to H1, even so called big company also do that via "permanent job".<br /> <br /> No this is not correct. If consultancy companies are not there we could find a permanent job. I do not think if H1b is banned for consulting H1b numbers will be reduced so much. H1b rotation will be reduced. But still TCS, Infosys will survive as they have lot of other options like L1 and B1.But US persons will make more money in consulting as there is no restriction for them. So impact is minimal for US companies and also H1B persons. impact will be severe for bodyshoppers. Also current H1b people will not be impacted as most of them will file I 485 as Skil bill be passed.

Plus the principal payment is technically not "expenditure" - it is "investment in your home equity". Owning means you lose flexibility. It is impossible to put numbers against all these.<br /> <br /> However, my personal "estimate"/"Tipping point" (taking into account the loss of flexibility etc) is when I have positive cash flow from owning (i.e. rent > mortgage + tax + maintenance). Some very successful RE investors I know take the same approach and are very successful.<br /> <br /> No. Speculators generally drive up the prices. What I am doing is not speculation. It is being cautious and rational(with the data I have). The one who drove up the housing price are the ones who were speculating that it will go up in price forever and created this huge bubble. You got the meaning of speculation wrong. <br /> Speculation is "engagement in business transactions involving considerable risk but offering the chance of large gains, esp. trading in commodities, stocks, etc., in the hope of profit from changes in the market price."<br /> There are people who are waiting for the house prices to come to back to sane levels. And there are people who cannot get loan even if they wish to buy.

China�s heavy-handed effort to get European nations to skip the Nobel peace prize ceremony in Oslo earlier this month did the trick. Not only did member states show up, but Serbia and Ukraine, countries with EU ambitions, were encouraged to attend as well. Yet this was atypical of a relationship in which China, with newfound power, has found it easy to divide and rule the EU. <br /> <br /> While the European Council focused on the euro crisis last week, away from the limelight, EU leaders were adopting a new China policy. Discussion began four months ago when EU leaders took up Europe-China relations. Then the issue was overshadowed by the internal EU topic of the day: Romas. Dealing with China was relegated to short talks and coffee breaks. <br /> <br /> This reveals a lot about the EU�s strategic outreach. The EU looks inward and seems destined to be an enlarged Switzerland rather than the missing link between the US and Asia in shaping global affairs. China has recognized this, and increasingly sees Europe as an investment opportunity rather than as a global partner.<br /> <br /> On a recent trip to Beijing, I met a range of prominent Chinese officials and academics. Not one asked me how Europe intended to influence US strategy toward Afghanistan or about European views on the upcoming referendum in Sudan. To Beijing, Europe is not so much post-modern as post-global.<br /> <br /> How can the EU�s strategic shrinkage be reversed? EU Council President van Rompuy�s comment in September on the need for �reciprocity� � giving to China only when the EU gets something back � was a good start. In line with this, the draft for the new EU trade policy looks at the possibility of closing off the European public procurement market if China does not give the EU reciprocal access to its market. This tough EU language has not gone unnoticed in Beijing. I was repeatedly asked about it by Chinese interlocutors. China understands a clear but consistent message.<br /> <br /> By itself this new approach will not be enough. The EU must pursue a set of commonly agreed aims. Europe needs to set urgent, coherent strategic priorities, setting aside strategic patience and trust, the key words of the new approach. <br /> <br /> The process of setting new trade policy priorities needs to be extended to the political realm. Member states must select a few priorities on which they really want to engage with China. Non-proliferation, climate change, good governance and human rights are good candidates.<br /> <br /> The big players in Europe have been bypassed economically in the last decade by China. They still have traction individually but much less than their national egos afford � this is true even for Germany, which currently is on its own fast track with large scale exports to China.<br /> <br /> The Wikileaks exposed how the US looks at the political dwarfs of Europe. The Middle Kingdom has a similar take. The feud over Dalai Lama visits in 2007 and 2008 showed that China was capable of hanging out to dry even Germany and France. The old days � the 1990s � when the EU could levy sanctions on China and enforce a change in behavior are gone. The last vestige of this era is the arms embargo. A new era has begun in which China can levy smart sanctions on European countries.<br /> <br /> Resisting the bilateral inclination is difficult. Bilateral visits like David Cameron�s recent tour to China and the Chinese president�s visit to Paris are locked in the logic of bilateral trade promotion. But seeing links to China mainly as a bilateral issue rather than a European-wide concern means accepting a weak position vis-a-vis Beijing. China deals with Europe as it is, not how we dream it is. When European states pursue their own agendas, China will get free traders in the Northern countries to block moves that it sees as too strong, while ensuring that indifferent Southerners dilute policies on human rights.<br /> <br /> A purely bilateral vocabulary seems increasingly anachronistic when an Airbus is assembled with subcomponents from all over Europe. Member countries must acknowledge that signing up to the EU is a binding commitment. A high-level EU official conceded that the just adopted internal strategy paper was kept relatively bland because of suspicion that it would be leaked to China. As a result, it couldn�t contain a more detailed game plan for how to secure EU interests through trade-offs and linkages.<br /> <br /> The EU�s bilateral instinct can be overcome. The internal pressure for multilateral compliance should be stronger once the External Action Service is up and running. But the EAS is no deus ex machina. Member states must be continuously engaged to pursue reciprocal engagement with China. The European Parliament, with its new say over foreign policy, could play an important role by naming and shaming member states that subvert the EU�s strategic priorities in exchange for bilateral advantages. <br /> <br /> A joined-up China policy is urgently needed. Events tend to overtake the EU while it ponders policy and its strategic approach. This year, it was Chinese investments in Europe, particularly in government bonds from Greece to Spain. China�s investment in Europe is a natural diversification from a dollar verdose. Chinese investment should be welcome, but the EU should be an intermediary so that this process is not framed as a bilateral favor that creates political dependency between China and member states. Eurobonds, which have been widely discussed as a solution in the euro crisis, could be a useful tool in this. <br /> <br /> For EU foreign policy �czar� Catherine Ashton and her team, fleshing out the elements of a common EU China policy and being able to apply it in time means anticipating events and providing guidance for how individual actions and bilateral visits play to (or undermine) Europe�s strength. For example, the EU needs a code of conduct for dealing with Liu Xiaobo after the Nobel debacle. Such a code of conduct could be minimal. The important point is that it is adhered to.<br /> <br /> Member states must make strategic choices that do not favor short-term national rewards at the expense of Europe�s strength. The member-states need to move China up the policy agenda and act in unison if they want to reap the benefits of stronger ties to China and avoid being divided and ultimately ruled.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2788/4222180441_777c34b87d_o.jpg" alt="leopard print blouse. leopard print brown top" title="leopard print brown top" width="470" <br><li>leopard print brown top</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">new_horizon</div><div class="date">12-17 05:06 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">the mumbai incident was a terrible one. the guilty must be punished to the fullest extent, be it people from any background doing it in the name of religion. <br /> <br /> In the same way the people in this forum should have been angry/troubled over the killings in orissa where innocent christians were beaten, raped, killed, burned alive, home destroyed and chased from the homes to the jungles just because of their faith. this sort of crimes against christians is taking place throughout many parts of India.

Sorry, I've no respect for these low lifes who take bribe and make common man run from pillar to post.<br /> <br /> <br /> I think before we get into the generics of bribery and corruption - we should examine it from the context of the lack of security. Blaming the local police force for everything wrong that goes on is a natural reaction. This was my initial reaction too.<br /> <br /> Yes, the Bombay police has not been effective but you must realize that when the police is underpaid, they will remain incompetent I'm not justifying bribery and corruption, just trying to suggest that provide them with proper arms and give them proper remuneration. Most of the retired police commissioners have also complained of lack of free hand and interference by officious politicians.<br /> <br /> Major Unnikrishanan received a paltry compensation of Rs 500k with humiliation to his father as a bonus. Abhinav Bindra - an olympic gold medalist - received Rs 5 million.<br /> Is there a sense of proportion? Obviously, we don't care for our fallen heroes, we don't care for our security forces...<br /> <br /> Would you rather be a sportsman or a Bombay policeman/a commando?

Unfortunately the religious muslim leaders dont want the community to get educated, prosper and westernized because than they would loose control..its precisely for this reason that the religious leaders of this community have for centuries scared the followers of the community with gods wrath if they changed. The Muslim religion has to become progressive and moderate. <br /> <br /> About the terrorism was thinking what options does India have to fight against this. Yes military action definitely is an option but it does more harm to India than to Pakistan. Attacking Pakistan, India has a lot to loose while Pakistan has nothing loose. It would make Pakistan from a failing state to a failed state, but would put India years behind as far as economy is concerned and create the biggest headache for India for decades to come. A military confrontation and weakening of Pakistan’s military establishment would let Pakistan slip fully into the hands of Religious fanatics and produce million more terrorist who will be a long-term headache for India.<br /> <br /> If one back goes back in the history, Pakistan has lost a lot more than India in the last three wars, and that is the only reason why the establishment in Pakistan including the Military has preferred encouraging and sponsoring cross border terrorism which is of very little cost to Pakistan but a constant headache to India. India has lost more from these terrorist attacks including Kargil war than they would if they had gone through a one time direct confrontation. I personally feel that if India does decide to go in for a military confrontation it has to be long term strategy to occupy the country and wipe out terrorism and help to nurture the economy so that prosperity and wealth creation takes a front seat and religion moves low in the peoples priority. In fact if Pakistan can ever have a strong economy and strong democracy, I am sure the country will move towards a moderate religious society. Lets face it, man is a very selfish being, it will never put its personal prosperity at stake for a larger cause even it that happens to be religion. An example of this is the Middle East Kingdom where the monarchs including the common folk is very possessive about personal wealth and will go to any extent to preserve it.<br /> <br /> The only way this can ever happen is by a willing global coalition, which is ready to be there for a long haul and not by India alone. If India did do a quick military action and left the country, Pakistan would move to become another Afghanistan creating the biggest headache for India for decades and decades to come and effectively dragging Indian economy and prosperity.<br /> <br /> Its sad that India let this headache linger on for so long, had it taken remedial action by taking control of complete kashmir and installing a pro Indian govt in 1971 we would not be confronting an nuclear dragon with very little option to fight it.<br /> <br /> Very good post. The main intent behind terrorist acts is to disrupt the Indian economy. <br /> <br /> Like some one has so consistently maintained - our leaders have committed several mistakes in the past.<br /> <br /> 1. Our leaders easily conceded to the demand for a separate country of Pakistan. This has only alienated Hindus and Muslims but has potentially put nuclear arsenal in the hands of the terrorists.<br /> <br /> 2. Ok, there was a separation but was the separation clean? The terrorists have just mixed in with the Mumbai crowd. Do they even need to leave Mumbai for Karachi? There are enemies internal and external. 154 millions muslims. Are they all terrorists? Absolutely not.<br /> But even if there is 1% who have to do anything with terrorism - its trouble and lots of it.<br /> <br /> 3. When we had multiple chances to occupy the country, we backed off and retreated.Instead if we had marched all the way to Islamabad, taken out the military dictators and set the country on a path of democracy and economic progress - you would have Pakistani economy flourishing and not living off the IMF, the American and the Asian Bank's doles. We would have seen TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Satyam counterparts in Pakistan.Anything wrong with that? Its finally the same race and the people....<br /> <br /> 4. The congress party created vote banks by appeasing muslims. Instead of this kind of appeasement (very similar to appeasements to backward class), if we had created uniform laws, the entire community would havebeen absorbed into the mainstream. Instead, we are ourselves responsible for pampering and alienating them. Its the most unfortunate.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair Blouse.

In order to file 485, the person must have a valid visa in his passport?<br /> In my case I have a valid I 94 but my visa got expired 2 months back, Am I eligible to file 485?<br /> <br /> 2. What is auto revalidation?<br /> <br /> I appreciate for your answers.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> RR<br /> <br /> <br /> No; you don't have to have a valid visa in your passport to file the 485. You are just supposed to be in non immigrant status (ie., f1, f2, h1, h4, etc.). Your I-94 card if expired; should not have expired more then six months prior to filing 485.<br /> <br /> Auto revalidation is one of the neatest little escapes to gettting back into proper status. Essentially; when entering into usa; one needs a valid visa to enter. However; auto revalidation is when a person goes to Canada or Mexico; stays less then 30 days; doesn't try to visit another country; doesn't attempt to go for visa stamping; has a valid/unexpired I-94 card (this also means unexpired I-94 card on a notice of action) then you can re-enter usa without a valid and unexpired visa. <br /> <br /> This concept is actually very difficult for people to believe that if their visa is expired but they have a valid i-94 card that they can go to canada and re-enter usa without a visa. since you are resetting your date of last entry by going out and coming back in then it helps greatly in using 245k since you have reset the date of your last entry into usa. <br /> <br /> Without auto revalidation; if you wanted to go out and come back in and take advantage of 245k then you would have to go for visa stamping in order to be allowed back in. However; consulate can check back to your earliest entry into usa and ask for paystubs/w2's as far back as they want (sometiemes they will ask you for all the way back). If they don't like what they see then they may not approve the visa and you are stuck.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot Invest in a leopard print <img src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/05/23/gal_animal_print_04.jpg" alt="leopard print blouse. wearing leopard print on" title="wearing leopard print on" width="470" <br><li>wearing leopard print on</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">richshi</div><div class="date">05-24 09:58 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Lou dobbs is pure anti-immigrants. he has never been an advocate of legal immigrants, he is against H-1B.

The only way one can legally immigrate with skills is via H1b visa and he is against it.<br /> <br /> When the debate is on illegal immigration, the former immigrants and their descendants will chant "We love legal immigrants". When the focus shifts to legal immigration, suddenly they don't want any immigration. Their argument is "If bus is full , we don't need more passengers" . Likewise USA is "full" with former immigrants and their descendants , so don't need more immigration.<br /> If supply is squeezed somehow, the demand will increase.

Forty-nine thousand dollars in yearly income leaves approximately $35,000 in after-tax dollars. Call it $3,000 a month. A 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage would cost approximately $1,500 per month. That leaves only $1,500 a month for a family to pay for everything else! (Of course, in many communities the math is even less tenable.) This is the crux of the problem, and the government cannot fix it.<br /> <br /> Housing prices, thanks to the bubble and inflation, have risen well past the point where the median (or typical middle-class) family can afford them.

Someone mentioned lawsuit since DoS either interpret the law wrong now or in the past. <br /> <br /> Needless to say that the distincation between EB2 and EB3 has become so meaniningless now. How many positions really satisfy the EB2 requirements? From what I heard that most people just try to get around the system to get an EB2. One of the persons who filed EB2 told me that a high school graduate would probably be able to work in that position too. <br /> <br /> Just my observation.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://cdn4.lookbook.nu/files/looks/medium/366502_averylateautumn.jpg%3F1257706778" alt="wolf fur hat.

Most of forclosed properties need substantial investment to fix them. Generally public gets the last chance of good foreclosed properties. It is a bank- real estate nexus which eats up the good inventory before hitting into the market. US home auction is not a real auction but more like a open house for 100 properties at the same time. Quality of inventory is not worth it.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2011 fur hats, and a fur scarf. <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4319215398_ab317c64fa.jpg" alt="wolf fur hat.

How did they do it?<br /> <br /> When I bought a house in March 09, the builder offered me great discounts (20k off the purchase price, interest buy down to 4.5%) and freebies (fridge, blinds, washer/dyer) so I took it. I bought the house for less than $90 per sq. ft. <br /> <br /> After the $8k Fed. and $10k California stimulus have passed, builders use that as their sales pitch to attract buyers and removed their previously offered discounts (some still offers discount though but offset the stimulus benefits).<br /> <br /> So, I believe that the builders/sellers are the real winner in the stimulus, not the buyers.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 Hamp;M Fur Hat, River Island Wolf <img src="http://www.lulusoso.com/upload/20110705/Fashion_Fox_Fur_Cap.jpg" alt="wolf fur hat.

Or is there any issue with this.<br /> All these years I have the same employer.<br /> <br /> I appreciate your help on this.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> -BMS<br /> <br /> There are two things<br /> <br /> 1. when you got your 7th year extension 797 with I 94 , you were supposed to submit that I 94 ( on 797) along with the i 94 in your passport.<br /> This is important most people dont do it .<br /> 2. when u aplied for 8th year extension u submitted the 797 of the 7th year along with the i 94 attached to it( which you were suppose to submit when you left the country for 7th year stamping) hence the I 94 number did not change. Your I 94 are out of synch.<br /> <br /> I would suggest to talk to an immigration attorney and i mean a real good one .<br /> Otherwise you could talk to an immgration officer and expalin your case.<br /> Or you could now go out get stamped and get a new I 94 9make sure this time you submit both the I 94s when you leave)<br /> <br /> I had a very peculiar situation where i had to travel outside the country when my H1 extension was pending and it got approved when i was out of the country and when i got a new i 94 when i came back with a new number than the one with i 94 on 797 ( which was of a later date)<br /> I spoke to immigrtaion officer and he heard me my circumstances and said i was in status and my i 94 were in order.<br /> Last year i went to my home country and got stamped and got a new i 94 but i submiited the two i 94s when i left the country.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.redangel.zion-nation.org/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.abercrombie-fitch-mens.com/images/pradawomens.com/Prada%2520Handbag/Prada%2520Khaki%2520Pockets%2520B%2520Handbag%2520ID%2520y010%2520020850.jpg" alt="wolf fur hat.

Why did it take them so long to stop it? Why did they wait until after July 07 to stop it. Were they not allowing people to use this back door and lawyers to make money?<br /> <br /> - If consulting is a problem, what were they doing in the past few years? What are they doing now? Do you think just a few raids once is enough to stop the problem? Why can't they enforce their own laws so that they punish the companies and not the immigrants.<br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS making paperwork difficult. Why can't the system be simple like Canada or Australia so that we can do our own paperwork? Why are lawyers in the picture?<br /> <br /> - If they find problem in consulting, why are they not going after Tata, Wipro etc. Don't tell me these companies are clean? <br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS so disorganized without good IT. Do you think other agencies are also same? Do you think USCIS does not have enough money?<br /> <br /> - Why can't they ban DV lottery? But go after H1Bs. You will say to do that law must be changed. But at least go strict on whom you approve once they are selected in the lottery. Are they not bringing lot of criminals, fanatics, unemployed and uneducated poor through DV.<br /> <br /> - Why can't ICE do their job of enforcement and round up illegals. If they were strict we will not have so many illegals or the problem of illegals.<br /> <br /> The questions will go on. But you need to step back and think more from the perspective of a applicant waiting for his GC or H1B .<br /> <br /> Well - that is because we have a lot of opposition. Employers want us ONLY for the business, lawyers handle stuff with USCIS and employers and guide them accordingly - for lawyers - this complex web is bread and butter. <br /> <br /> It is our visibility and vulnerability that puts focus on us.<br /> <br /> Remember - it is not your fault if you get a call from USCIS asking for paperwork like the original poster. It is just that there is so much focus on people like us.<br /> <br /> Also remember - nothing is over - as long as the original poster has followed the law and handles it he/she must be fine.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://tregenda.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://gallery.dog-berry.com/FurRondy/p7hg_img_1/fullsize/Wolf_Hat_022809.01.1024_fs.jpg" alt="wolf fur hat.

If you care death of 4 people and don't even bother to care the death of innocent school kids, then there is some problem with people who claim to be peaceful and peace loving nation. Its called double standard and hypocrisy.<br /> <br /> [QUOTE=sanju;308870]<br /> There needs to be correction in your post. When Pakistanis terrorist attacked mumbai, world community blamed Pakistan and not the entire muslim community. <br /> <br /> The problem is, the way muslim community responds to such world events, due to the sense of the guilt of their twisted belief system, they think that the world community is blaming every muslim, but that is actually not how the world community responded. Also, because of the urge to defend terror attacks by a terrorist, muslim community tends to justify terrorism and terrosit attacks. We saw many "educated" (HIGHLY SKILLED) members, who were apparently muslims, on this forum justifying terrorist attacks conducted by Pakistani terrorist who happen to be "muslims". Because, the overriding factor for a lot people following islamic faith is the religion of the person performing the bad deeds. And if that person happen to be a muslim, most of you guys tend to justify bad deeds including terrorist acts. This behavior results in world community responding to you in plain and simple terms that terrorist sympathizer is encouraging more terrorism and hence you perceive that expression as if the others are branding your entire community as terrorist, but again, this is not true either. Its the direct result of your sense of guilt and your urge to be terrorist sympathizer.<br /> <br /> Exactly, its about how many people care about the issue. If terrorists kill innocent civilians, first thing they'll say is "Islamic Terrorism". Don't tell me media around the world didn't use this term. Anything and everything blamed on religion and people following the religion. But When you kill muslims in hundreds, you won't say even a single word. <br /> <br /> Don't tell me members of this forum didn't blame muslims and their faith.<br /> <br /> Its your twisted belief that all muslims support terrorism or they defend terrorists. Its your twisted belief fed by biased media and biased religious and political leaders.

They then issue the I-94 card in that companies name with the validity of the visa. This is something that happens frequently.<br /> <br /> Person has been admitted on company a's h-1b but they are going to work for company b.

If person overstays the incorrect validity date on the I-94 card then they would be considered to be staying unlawfully.<br /> <br /> The problem is that there is some guidance from the office of business liaisons which says that if a person has multiple h-1b approvals (notice of actions has I-94 cards attached with it), then they can work with all of them but just not at the same time. That is person can transfer from company a to b to c and if they wish they can go back to company a without filing for change of employer.

So India EB3 was unavailable for the last 3 years or so (except last july).<br /> <br /> That's not the case with EB2. EB2 on paper has preference, I agree. That does not mean EB2 should have ALL spill over numbers. Split it 75-25 if not 50-50. Dec 2001 for a retrogressed country is just unfair. When you issue some EB2 2006 numbers issue some to EB3 2002 people as well. Is it too much?<br /> <br /> Again - want to continue a healthy debate, but as per the law, EB2 is more skilled than an EB3 and therefore gets precedence regardless of the date. If we split up the spill over 75/25 between EB2 and EB3 then what answer do we have to the more skilled EB2 candidate who did not get a visa number because a less skilled EB3 took the number based on an arbitrary split up (75/25) and because the EB3 has an earlier PD. Does it meet the meritocracy test which is the intent of the law.<br /> <br /> I may sound plain and harsh but thats the categorization as per existing law not my personal opinion.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.teamouralis.es/referrers.php">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.mediabeats.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Kristen-Stewart.jpg" alt="kristen stewart girlfriend.

This makes restrictions on Consulting companies, so what Clients won't be able to find people, so they do hire people as full time instead of temporary consulting position. That is good for us we can find more full time positions from client it self. I even heard that this bill makes sure H1B are paid by market rates instead of DOL wages which are often very less than market value.

So how would that pay somebody's mortgage?<br /> (Dont tell me owning on ARMs with teaser rates)<br /> <br /> Rent would not even cover the monthly payment, forget property tax(appx 2%) and maintenance.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2011 girlfriend Amanda Hearst <img src="http://img.blogdeblogs.com/lacosarosa/uploads/2011/04/amandaluisreconciliacion.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina.

I realise that it is a little unorthodox to apply �on spec� for such a high-ranking position within your organisation, but I believe I have the necessary skills to further increase the profits and assets of Big Bank Plc. In this letter I will attempt to demonstrate my knowledge of the challenges and opportunities in our marketplace.<br /> <br /> 1) Who are our customers?<br /> <br /> I understand that our most lucrative customers are those with the least awareness of financial matters; indeed, the less numerate they are, the better. Rather like the dear old PM, in fact.<br /> <br /> If they don�t know the difference between APR and AER, if they fail to read the small print in their credit contracts - not that it matters, as I�m sure I have the necessary legal skills to make such text impenetrable - and if their limited attention is grabbed by an �introductory� rate, then they are exactly the kind of people we need to target.<br /> <br /> I think that if we closely follow that other highly successful model of commerce - drug dealing - we won�t go far wrong in attracting and retaining the right customer base.<br /> <br /> 2) How do we get people to take on more debt?<br /> <br /> I�ve been thinking about this, since we need people to be in debt so that they pay us lots of interest. I believe the best way is to start with an asset class that everybody needs and arrange for its price to increase by far more than the general inflation rate. Then the people who want to buy the new, over-priced assets will have to take on far more debt than would otherwise have been the case.<br /> <br /> Of course, the people who bought the assets prior to the excessive price inflation wouldn�t be in debt, but I think we can get around that by encouraging them to take on larger loans for, say, holidays, new TVs, big cars, that sort of thing (maybe even encouraging them to buy more assets to loan to other people?), all while securing them against the now-increased �value� of their asset. We could describe these loans as �Asset Equity Release� or something; it sounds so much more friendly than �Borrowing a Lot of Money.�<br /> <br /> Ultimately this would mean that everyone is in far greater debt, paying us far more money, for exactly the same asset! Genius, eh?<br /> <br /> Oh. Hang on. That�s already been done with houses, hasn�t it?<br /> <br /> 3) Social conscience.<br /> <br /> Every responsible company should have a social conscience, and Big Bank Plc is no different. We need to be in tune with the society in which we operate, sharing the values of our customers.<br /> <br /> Luckily that�s not too difficult; our customers are greedy and so are we! They want lots of money, right now. We want lots of money, but we can wait (that old �deferred gratification� thing).<br /> <br /> So we simply sell them the money to fulfil their greedy dreams, and they sign up for a lifetime of debt slavery to fulfil ours. Everyone�s a winner!<br /> <br /> 4) Get-out.<br /> <br /> I have noticed that some of our customers have been attempting to escape from their obligations through IVAs, bankruptcy and so on. This really won�t do. Luckily we have a role model to follow here; America. The banking industry there successfully lobbied Congress to make it almost impossible to escape from credit card debt, even in bankruptcy.<br /> <br /> There�s much work to be done in the UK by comparison, but we�re getting there. Escape from student loan debt is almost impossible and an IVA won�t release people from mortgage debt. There�s still credit card debt, but at least we can now secure that on property (I love that one; we sell an unsecured loan at punitive rates, then secure it! They�d have been better off just getting a secured loan! How stupid are these people?).<br /> <br /> So, there�s just the problem of escape through bankruptcy, but I think we can work on that. Friends in government, nudge nudge, wink wink. Give me time�<br /> <br /> 5) Our friends at Westminster.<br /> <br /> Speaking of government, I think our special relationship is going rather well, don�t you? They want a population that feels wealthy even though it isn�t (see number 2 above), that is unlikely to cause trouble (who can afford to go on strike when you have huge debts to service?) and that isn�t educated enough to understand what�s being done to them (have you seen the latest exam results?).<br /> <br /> Those are our goals too; it�s a marriage made in heaven. And if they want to rack up even more debt on the population�s behalf, we�re only too happy to oblige.<br /> <br /> We do need to be more careful at times, though. Our so-called competitor�s �employment� of that ex-Prime Minister so soon after leaving office was rather rubbing people�s faces in it, don�t you think? A few of the less stupid ones might start to put two and two together.<br /> <br /> 6) Media<br /> <br /> Can we keep the mainstream and financial media �on-side�, thus keeping the population distracted by pointless celebrity gossip, �reality� TV programmes (oh, the irony), diversionary economic scare stories and back-to-back shows extolling the virtues of never-ending asset inflation (and with it, never ending debt)?<br /> <br /> Of course we can - we own most of them! And the government owns much of the rest. Anyway, people actually seem to want this stuff. Bread and circuses, I suppose.<br /> <br /> 7) What happens if we run out of money?<br /> <br /> See number 5. There are plenty of options if we ever run into difficulties - direct government �loans� (rolled over ad infinitum), dropping the base rate below real inflation while raising lending rates, etc. - but they all boil down to one thing: take money from the tax-payer while using inflation to mask the theft. With a bit of luck we can even get the public to demand this action for us, with the help of the media.<br /> <br /> And anyway, we�re not actually lending real money, are we? It�s created from nothing at the point at which the loan is granted. So what do we have to lose?<br /> <br /> I look forward to your reply.<br /> <br /> Yours faithfully,<br /> <br /> Mr Wanabe A Banker</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://mypinkworld.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000cLiM7Tb25Qk/s/750/750/IPA-170411-0201-007.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina.

Financial Capabilities<br /> a) Can I afford to make payments even if I've to leave US and settle somewhere else?<br /> b) Does buying house give me any tax breaks in US that I otherwise won't get?<br /> c) Do I have 'reserve' funds (5-6% of purchase price) to take care of maintenance etc of the house?<br /> <br /> 2. Location<br /> a) Is the neighbourhood dependent on a stable source of economic activity (e.g. tech industry areas like Bay Area or traditional industry areas like Texas)<br /> b) Can the house be rented (if not, I would be cautious)?<br /> c) Is the demographics well off (if not, bad economy may have a larger impact)?<br /> <br /> 3. Timing<br /> a) Has housing appreciated by more than 2-3% per annum in the neighbourhood since 2000 (if yes, I would be cautious)?<br /> b) Can I get 1-time tax benefits?<br /> c) Can I make more money through other investments (leverage adjusted)?<br /> <br /> The final decision is always personal and is neither right or wrong...its just a choice that the individuals make... good luck to those who are considering home ownership....<br /> <br /> @pmpforgc,<br /> <br /> Make as low a down payment as possible as the money supply is cheap as of now....if interest rates are higher than what you can get as investment return in the market, then making as large a down payment as possible makes sense... as of now, cost of money is at 5-6% and you can get more than that through investments...just my 2 cents!</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://lizzyblack.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://estb.msn.com/i/2F/8531A5E5B21812BF7ACA5439406474.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina. relación con Amanda Hearst" title="relación con Amanda Hearst" width="470" <br><li>relación con Amanda Hearst</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">smisachu</div><div class="date">12-28 09:28 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I agree to what you say. But understand that firing a nuke needs more than having one. Our missile shield is pretty good, we have several anti missile defence shields installed all across the border with Pakistan including the Rann of Kutch. Yes they are only tested and not war tested, but so are pakistans wepons. At least our wepons are self produced, paks are purchased chinese crap. I doubt nukes will be used even if there is a conflict.<br /> <br /> As you say we have suffered for 60 years due to terrorism and we need to end it. I am not advocating war but killing all terrorists. India has no interest in Pakistan and has no use for it if we occupy it. I was just highlighting the capacity of our Army not advocating marching to Islamabad. All we need to do is get back POK into our control and eliminate the Terrorists there, revoke article 370 and assimilate Kashmir and kashmiris into rest of India and vice versa.<br /> <br /> Listen as some one who has lost a cousin in Kargil and an uncle in 71 war and with 3 cousins still serving in the force , I know the pain of war closer than you might think. Thats why I want to end it once and for all. Do you know, a Jawan is killed due to COLD in siachen glazier every week and this is a place we dont have to put our boys on through the winter, but we do just because if we dont Pak will occupy our post come Summer.<br /> We need to kill terrorists and let modren pakistanis to gain control of the country, until this is done this problem will not go away for India or the US or anyone else.<br /> <br /> I hope thats your bravado speaking. Otherwise what you have stated is mostly inaccurate. Much as I would like to see Pakistan walloped for supporting the jehadi pigs, what war could potentially escalate into is far scarier than 200 people killed in Mumbai. It could mean the deaths of hundreds (or many times that) people - both Indian and Pakistani. That casualty number is not acceptable given that we've been absorbing thousands of losses in the last 50 years...scratch that - even in the last 20 years. IMHO Kargil was a bigger event than Mumbai than this since they had the b*lls to waltz onto Indian territory.<br /> <br /> Strategically, India has no advantage pushing on to Islamabad (which is why we didn't in the wars earlier). Logistics will not support an invasion - primarily because the local population will not support it. And then it means killing thousands of non army personnel to hold on to territory and sustaining the same kind of losses. ('71 push to Dhaka was a contrast because the local population was supportive of India's/ Muktibahini push)<br /> <br /> Nukes - for the delivery mechanism it doesn't need to be accurate - it just needs to get close and explode above or around the target. If it explodes in the air there are fewer casualties than if it were to land on the ground - then the massive fallout would be even more catastrophic. Anti-missile shield? Wow - but no way are they going to be effective. 4 minutes of flying time from Pak to India for an aircraft - its hard intercepting aircraft (which are far slower than missiles the last time i checked).. you need to research a little more before speaking up. And none of India's or for that matter Pakistans missiles have been war-proven (remember Murphys law - yes that will creep in here also)<br /> <br /> Yes - India can wipe out terror camps; wipe out the PAF/ Pakistan army etc. But what is the strategic advantage? An economic setback of 20 years? No buffer between Afghanistan, and the hardcore mullahs west of Pakistan (most Pakis outside of the ISI are liberal Islamists). Also, the US will be more concerned about the Afghan border and will step up international pressure on India to let Pakistan be - worse - it could take an offensive posture against India as in '71 (like everyone else US cares about its interests first)<br /> <br /> Pakistan is that spoilt younger sibling to India that keeps making noise to get whatever it wants. Now the time has come when even they know they've gone too far. And its A**kicking time - but not militarily. A tough stance from India and the rest of from the rest of the world will work also. Tough love, baby!<br /> <br /> India's interests are best served by getting ISI branded a terror organization, Pakistan a terror state and by de-linking Kashmir with the whole terror issue since most of the terrorists are non locals anyway (because Pakis want the focus on Kashmir). Repeal article 370 so that Kashmiri Pandits are assisted in returning to Kashmir along with other Indians (whatever religion so wants to). Rebuild Kashmir economically. Help liberal Pakis rebuild their country - and with a better economy, maybe good sense will prevail in that failed state. <br /> <br /> Strength is not always an action of force. Strength is sometimes force of action - and India needs to be forceful in its actions - not relenting, not giving up until South Asia is a peaceful place again.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 Amanda Hearst y Luis Medina se <img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/3128sra.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina. hair amanda hearst boyfriend." title="hair amanda hearst boyfriend." width="470" <br><li>hair amanda hearst boyfriend.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Macaca</div><div class="date">12-29 07:47 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Our Nation as a Startup (http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2010/12/29/india-journal-our-nation-as-a-startup/) By Rajeev Mantri | IndiaRealTime<br /> <br /> Doing business in India can be overwhelming for somebody accustomed to working in a more hospitable business environment. The World Bank�s Doing Business study ranks India 134th worldwide for ease of doing business, behind lesser-talked- about nations such as Tanzania and Ghana.<br /> <br /> Besides the well-documented inadequacy of physical infrastructure, archaic corporate and taxation laws are yet to catch up with modern ways of structuring and operating new ventures. Yet India is able to register high rates of economic growth year after year.<br /> <br /> U.S. President Barack Obama�s contention that India has already arrived is magnanimous � India is a startup with high potential but hasn�t made it yet into the pantheon of world powers. Like a startup, India is chaotic and unpredictable.<br /> <br /> Democracy adds another twist in the tale. As the last three months have shown, Indian politics can turn on a dime and the perception of political stability can give way very quickly. India�s business model is contrary to how other Asian economies have developed: India continues to be services-driven and domestically-oriented instead of being heavy on export-led manufacturing.<br /> <br /> This approach shielded the economy during the financial crisis. With growth driven by high-quality entrepreneurs who have been able to deliver despite a suspicious and often obstructionist state, it�s no wonder that investors continue to be bullish on India and tend to overlook major political and geopolitical risks.<br /> <br /> But high growth brings with it many quandaries. Though a happy problem to have, a growing enterprise faces its own management challenges. At the very least, the capacity of India�s executives and government to manage growth has been somewhat disappointing. India chose (some would argue that it stumbled upon) a bottom-up development model based upon entrepreneurship.<br /> <br /> We are now reaching a stage in the economic cycle where we need to push the envelop further, not negate the strategy that has served us very well over the last two decades. India saw two bursts of significant reform, from 1991 to 1996 under Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and again from 1998 to 2004 under Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee. Since 2004, there has been virtually no reform initiated by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government in areas such as labor law, where the current regime is constraining growth in manufacturing. This is impairing the quality of India�s economic growth and limiting job creation.<br /> <br /> Recently, Steve Jobs said that his company, Apple, is the world�s largest startup. It�s an interesting view given that Apple�s market capitalization, which is close to $300 billion, makes it one of the most valuable companies in the world. Apple also has zero debt and tens of billions of dollars in cash. From the brink of bankruptcy and irrelevance in 1998, Apple�s financial and competitive strength is now the envy of the technology industry.<br /> <br /> When Mr. Jobs returned as Apple�s CEO, he had a straightforward mantra: To rebuild Apple as a pioneering innovator and rescue it from the morass of creating �me-too� products, as he put it. He felt that the company he founded had forgotten what it stood for. This was audacious for a company struggling to stay on its feet.<br /> <br /> Indian administrators and policy-makers should also remember how high rates of economic growth have been achieved in the first place. Like a startup which has achieved a fit between product and market fit and is ready to scale up, India needs to continue providing its entrepreneurs with the space and environment to operate.<br /> <br /> Apple lost its mojo because it abandoned the strategy that made it what it was. Curiously, that strategy itself was not rigid and inflexible but one of continuous innovation, where Apple would make its products irrelevant before its competitors could. A return to this thinking has ensured the company�s rise through the 2000s. India, too, needs to return to policies that have transformed its economy from anemic to blistering growth.<br /> <br /> In Hindu philosophy, The Upanishads talk of the concept of �Atmanam Viddhi,� which roughly translates as �knowing oneself.� It turns out that self-knowledge is also a sound business strategy � to reach where you want to go, it�s first important to know how you got to where you are.<br /> <br /> The government must realize what it is that has delivered high rates of economic growth. Negating the ideas and policies that are driving India�s economic development by delaying the next round of economic reforms could prove to be immensely damaging to India�s economic prospects. India needs a visionary leader to step up and push through some of the changes that most agree need to be implemented � but few have the political courage to execute � or else an opportunity may be lost again.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://latalpa3.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000ibsEMir.7S8/s/750/750/IPA-170411-0201-005.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina.

Can anyone confirm this?<br /> <br /> If they send everyone's G-325a form to the consulates, would that result in another backlog? Thanks.<br /> <br /> This is really a grey area, as per the field manual visa's issued by consulate/embassies less than a year are verified or checked. Less than a year is because the dept of states purges data a year old thats why less than a year time frame they send the copy to consulate for checks . But the grey area I am talking about is ,lets say i applied for 485 in july 2007 and i got my H1 stamped in sept 2006 by the time my case is processed it will be most probably oct 2007 (liek data fed in etc) now in oct 2007 when they process the checks DOS would have purged the data ,so in turn when they process your checks yourr visa issuance date shoudl be over a year as the consulates and embassies wil purge data one year old.

Just focus on Bombay; get to the bottom of it, use it as an opportunity to improve relations between India and Pakistan, and move forward. <br /> <br /> <br /> You then say no extradition treaty. So if we give proof for the Bombay incident, how are you going to take action, if you have not done yet for the past incidents. I just don't get it.<br /> <br /> First of all, 'I' won't be taking any action, regardless of what proof anyone provides. <br /> Secondly, I think Pakistan shouldn't need to be provided any proof. Pakistan should do its own investigation. And Pakistan and India should also cooperate in their investigations. <br /> And then Pakistan should charge those people with 'treason', and hang them. <br /> <br /> <br /> We want see if we can trust you. <br /> <br /> First of all, there is no 'we' as you mean it. This is not IndianImmigrationVoice, despite repeated and increasing evidence to the contrary. <br /> Secondly, this is a pretty good opportunity for Indians and Pakistanis who live in the USA to engage in a conversation about the relations between their countries. I don't think this thread is anything more than that. So, unless I start asking you to loan me a million dollars, 'trust' is a moot point. <br /> <br /> <br /> You don't won [own] up, yet you won't punish and infact you seem to protect these guys.<br /> <br /> <br /> I think you are unable to distinguish between an individual (me for example, or you), groups of individuals (any one of the militant groups), the state and the government (Pakistan or India), the media, and the public opinion.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />dresses Amanda Hearst y Luis Medina <img src="http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/112658807.jpg%3Fv%3D1%26c%3DEWSAsset%26k%3D2%26d%3D77BFBA49EF87892140FEB0FF7845C57D8ED78F2D7ADC4EE3B3BCFFB6ADC00CA4772DB5C4C5282EE4" alt="amanda hearst luis medina.

Just he is opposite to outsourcing that too he may cut some tax benefits for the companies which are outsourcing. That will not have much impact on outsourcing.Basically two candidates are favoring high skilled immigrants. But everything is on the hands of congress.<br /> I am a big supporter of Obama and a big fan and am eagerly looking forward to see him as our next President of United States. As a legal highly skilled immigrant what can I expect? Well, not sure if I would see myself living here anymore. I have been in the green card queue for more than 8 years now and still waiting. Will Obama's administration do anything for people like me to help reduce backlog? I doubt such a thing will ever happen. I would see myself and people like me discouraged and start packing our bags and move on with life.<br /> <br /> Why do I feel discouraged? If anything is going to happen for the immigrant community when Sen. Obama becomes the President, it is going to be in the lines of CIR 2007. There would be provisions to make illegal immigrants as legal and remove backlogs to family based quota whereas posing harsh restrictions on H1b visas and reducing Green Card quotas and scrap AC21 portability and try to experiment with some new kind of skilled immigration system. <br /> <br /> The above is very evident based on the fact that Senator Durbin has been very hostile to EB immigrants. It is evident that Senator Durbin will make the calls when Senator Obama becomes the president.<br /> <br /> Please post your opinions. This is a very important discussion. It is very important that the community see what is in store for us when the new Administration takes charge.<br /> <br /> A lot of folks in the EB community are looking forward to 2009 thinking something will definitely happen. Yes, something will definitely happen - and that may not help us</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.tisphie.net/soojung/index.php?archive=-08506">more...</a><br><br /><br />makeup Luis Medina and Amanda Hearst enjoy the Holy Week in Sevilla, Spain, <img src="http://c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000PjSmSWhMsZM/s/750/750/IPA-160411-0201-006.jpg" alt="amanda hearst luis medina.

India has been a victim of terrorism for the last 60 years. <br /> <br /> <br /> "What apology? <br /> I am not responsible for the actions of those people. Imagine if after 9/11, an American asked you to apologize for the actions of the 19 'Brown men' (I am assuming here that you are a south asian male) who killed 3000 Americans, how silly do you think that situation would be.

They then issue the I-94 card in that companies name with the validity of the visa. This is something that happens frequently.<br /> <br /> Person has been admitted on company a's h-1b but they are going to work for company b. They are not watching because company b's h-1b notice of action expires later but port of entry officer gave i-94 card with incorrect company and incorrect validity date. If person overstays the incorrect validity date on the I-94 card then they would be considered to be staying unlawfully.<br /> <br /> The problem is that there is some guidance from the office of business liaisons which says that if a person has multiple h-1b approvals (notice of actions has I-94 cards attached with it), then they can work with all of them but just not at the same time. That is person can transfer from company a to b to c and if they wish they can go back to company a without filing for change of employer. However; it gets very murky when person leaves and re-enters and enters on wrong company h-1b with incorrect validity dates.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">fromnaija</div><div class="date">08-02 11:40 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Actually, USCIS does nothing with the Consulate copy of G-325 if applicant has been in the USA for more than one year.

If you look at the bottom left hand corner of g-325a there is some annotations to it. One of the g-325a's get sent to the consulate. Now; what does the consulate do with it???? Do they compare it with your original visa application of what your last occupation/address was?<br /> <br /> One of the other uses of this information is that a person could have come to usa 8 years ago but you only need to show 5 years of biographical information.

Forty-nine thousand dollars in yearly income leaves approximately $35,000 in after-tax dollars. Call it $3,000 a month. A 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage would cost approximately $1,500 per month. That leaves only $1,500 a month for a family to pay for everything else! (Of course, in many communities the math is even less tenable.) This is the crux of the problem, and the government cannot fix it.<br /> <br /> Housing prices, thanks to the bubble and inflation, have risen well past the point where the median (or typical middle-class) family can afford them. Either income must rise -- which seems unlikely on an inflated-adjusted basis -- or home prices must come down.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper Jennifer Hawkins - plastic <img src="http://news.makemeheal.com/images/heidi-montag-beach-liquid.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery.

Birnbaum | Washington Post, August 14, 2007<br /> <br /> Activists on the reform side of the lobbying debate have been celebrating that Congress finally got around to passing an ethics bill. The question is: Should voters celebrate as well?<br /> <br /> Paul A. Miller, a former president of the American League of Lobbyists, thinks the hoorahs should be muted, and he has a point. The legislation bars lobbyists from providing meals and gifts to lawmakers, a provision long sought by the advocates of change as a way to keep well-heeled interests from buying their way into the hearts of decision-makers.<br /> <br /> But Miller and others point out that the ban is full of loopholes. The largest of the gaps, Miller said, could end up worsening the public's perception that lawmakers are for sale.<br /> <br /> If lobbyists are prevented from buying meals for lawmakers for lobbying purposes, he noted, lobbyists will almost certainly make up for the loss by boosting the number of meals they buy lawmakers as part of campaign fundraising events.<br /> <br /> And believe it or not, they will be perfectly able to do so. Lobbying laws are separate from campaign finance laws, and the new ban on meals and gifts applies only to lobbying laws. That means the legislation does not rein in fundraising events, so lobbyists and their clients will still be able to buy food and entertainment for lawmakers at those events.<br /> <br /> Hence the following perversity: Lobbyists will not be able to pick up the check for members of Congress unless they also hand the lawmakers a check to help their reelections.<br /> <br /> "Lobbyists will move lunches and dinners to the campaign side of things," Miller predicts. "They will increasingly get members of Congress for an hour or so to give them a campaign check; that's a better deal for the lobbyists and will also make it more likely for corruption to happen."<br /> <br /> Jan W. Baran, the campaign finance expert at the law firm Wiley Rein, finds it hard to imagine that lawmakers can schedule more fundraisers than they already do. But he does think there will continue to be plenty of lobbyist-financed partying thanks to the nearly two dozen exceptions to the meal-and-gift ban.<br /> <br /> Baran said that members of Congress will be able to accept invitations from lobbyists to events that are widely attended, including receptions and charity golf tournaments. Lobbyists will also still be allowed to underwrite visits by lawmakers if they have some official or ceremonial role. Members of Congress generally cannot accept tickets to sporting events from lobbyists. But they can be comped to a baseball game if they throw out the first pitch, to a football game if they toss the opening coin or to a NASCAR race if they wave the checkered flag. That's nice work if you can get it, and you can bet there'll be a lot more of it available soon.<br /> <br /> Interest groups are also expressing concern about another feature of the legislation. The provision would require more disclosure by organizations about who is paying for and actively participating in the lobbying activities of coalitions and trade groups. At the moment, most of that information is proprietary and protected by Supreme Court decisions that shield the members of many kinds of groups. Organizations are worried that they might, for the first time, have to disclose who their top members are.<br /> <br /> But they probably need not worry. Ways are always found to get around laws like this one. "The balloon will be pressed, and the air will come out another way," said Kenneth A. Gross, a lawyer at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://images.b105.com.au/2010/11/26/500024/who-sexiest-dirt-395-2.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery.

But after watching the debate I believe Obama is a better candidate for Presidency than John McCain and here's why -<br /> <br /> 1) There is a third dimension to the economic debate besides tax cuts and tax raises - National Debt - which has run into uncountable trillions of Dollars. Obama gets it. McCain doesn't.<br /> <br /> 2) Both candidates want to cut Defense expenditure. McCain thinks making Defense contracts fixed cost will cut expenditure substantially. How does he plan to do that without affecting quality? Are we to see more of the guns that don't fire in Iraq? Obama has a better solution - end the Iraq War in a timely fashion and save trillions of dollars spent every month.<br /> <br /> 3) McCain wishes to continue the practice of cutting billions of dollars check anually to Pakistan, most of which goes to buy ammunition from US weapons manufacturers. In other words, a subsidy/corporate welfare in the name of 'War on Terror'. Obama plans to hold them accountable for the money they receive and wishes to see the money go to rooting out Al-queda rather than weapons that threaten India into an arms race. Obama plans to hunt down and eliminate Al-queda in Iraq. McCain has no such immediate plans! He wishes to fight the war in Iraq for 4-8 more years and pass on the responsibility to his successor.<br /> <br /> 4) McCains solution to energy crisis is to destroy the North Pole and burden thousands of generations to come with nuclear waste which will literally take a millenia to clean-up. Obama has placed is bet on replenishable ,greener and less expensive alternatives.<br /> <br /> 5) Both candidates plans require 'Borrow and Spend' in the short term due to proposed tax cuts. I would rather have Obama spend it on Energy Research than let McCain blow it up in I-rack. At least with Obama plan, America has a chance that reduced dependency on foreign oil may let US government divert the money currently spent on Foreign Oil in paying off debt, rather than pass it on to the future generation.<br /> <br /> 6) Obama has proposed a medical insurance to help veterans. McCains answer -' I know veterans. I will take care of them'. What kind of answer is that?<br /> <br /> 7) Obama's stated position is that American companies can bring in more skilled foreign workers as long as there is a need. We are of course concerned about his buddy Sen. Durbin's views which are diametrically opposite of Obama's stated position. On the other hand, McCain doesn't consider EB immigration to be important enough to have a position. In John McCains world - we simply don't exist!<br /> <br /> I think it's a good effort by Chandu to educate EB immigrants on the political realities so that we get ready in the days to come to face any eventuality. Also it will aid those of us who get Green Cards in the mean time to make wise decisions while contributing to future election campaigns.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair item-jennifer-hawkins- <img src="http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/pc/Jennifer%252BHawkins%252BCelebs%252BRoyal%252BExhibition%252B79ABISf7X3el.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery. hair Jennifer Hawkins" title="hair Jennifer Hawkins" width="470" <br><li>hair Jennifer Hawkins</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">immignation</div><div class="date">04-06 02:31 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">how's the market conditions in the San Jose/Santa Clara belt. houses there were really heated up avg 600k+. has it cooled down or still that crazy..<br /> <br /> I have been house hunting here in central NJ (west windsor, plainsboro and vicinity and am having a sticker shock just looking at the property taxes.. about 2%). What I understand from talking to people here is that these places are supposed to be a very good school district and schools receive most of their funding from property taxes (and very little from state). Good schools attract families with kids which increases the burden on schools and again property taxes have to be increased to build more schools/expand existing ones..</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://odiandomi.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://gallery.future-i.com/celebs/pic:Hawkins-ganadora4/full/Jennifer%252BHawkins.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery. jennifer hawkins miss universe" title="jennifer hawkins miss universe" width="470" <br><li>jennifer hawkins miss universe</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">ssa</div><div class="date">06-25 02:33 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I am not foreclosed and neither is anyone I know. Who do you know is foreclosed? Were they smart or stupid in their investment? How much did they put down? Did they crunch the numbers and do the math? <br /> <br /> You do not invest without a plan to cover all scenarios and you definitely do not invest beyond your means. The people that caused the meltdown and caused foreclosures couldnt afford the property to begin with. Is that you? Do you fit into that category? If so, do not buy.<br /> There are many homeowners who are underwater but not foreclosed. That does not make it a good investment. All I'm pointing out is unless your property's rent covers your monthly mortgage+property tax+insurance+maintenance and upkeep it can not be called a good investment. You should have positive (at least non negative) cash flow out of your rental properties. Is this a general case? I think not. At least in my area I'm 100% sure rent does not cover mortgage and the difference between the two is significant.<br /> <br /> If you have a negative cash flow on your rental properties then the only thing you are betting on is price appreciation of your properties (above inflation) in future which is speculation again.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot hair Y surgery jennifer hawkins jennifer hawkins unairbrushed. jennifer <img src="http://cdn.1920x1200.net/posts/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/jennifer_hawkins_1920_1200_sep102009-500x315.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery. jennifer hawkins wallpaper." title="jennifer hawkins wallpaper." width="470" <br><li>jennifer hawkins wallpaper.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">NolaIndian32</div><div class="date">09-28 07:58 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I agree 100% with the quote below; if Durbin gets his way, there will be no light at the end of the tunnel for the EB community.<br /> <br /> I have been in the US, legally for 14+ years. I have stayed within the law, regulations to get my green card, but still after 8 years in this antiquated and dysfunctional process, I am "in queue". Twice I have had to turn down promotions to executive level within my organization because of restrictions of "same to similar" regulation. Even my CEO is frustrated with this situation. If Durbin has his way, I can no longer afford to put my life on hold. I will be forced to sell my house and relocate to Canada. <br /> <br /> McCain supports immigration for legally employed immigrants. I pray that he wins the election this November.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> After 8 yrs of Bush, I sure am ready for Democrats to take over. America needs a change. But Sen. Obama's victory will surely spell doom and gloom for the EB community - of which I am one.<br /> <br /> I have been in the United States for 9 years - LEGALLY. I have bent over backwards to follow the letter of the law, irrespective of how convoluted it is. My kids are American Citizens. I pay taxes and contribute to the American economy. We even bought a house here in the hope that we can settle down in America. Me and my husband hold executive level positions in major multinationals. Here is the absolute kicker - I work in Satellite Telecommunications and my company supports the United States Government (DoD) and its contractors/ sub contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan!! <br /> <br /> We wanted Democrats to win...but guess what - the failed CIR 2007 woke us up to the fact that Sen. Durbin will never make it easy for us EB immigrants. His hostility towards this community forced us to secure the Canadian PR. We have a little bit more time to decide when we want to move there before our PR expires. If things don't take a turn for the better on the Immigration front, we will move to Canada. I just dread having to sell the house here though!! <br /> <br /> Till date, I only see Durbin driving immigration - and it is definitely against teh EB community. My question to Sen.Obama - what do you have to offer to us, the highly skilled immigrants? Would you rather we just liquidate all our assets (home, stocks, bonds, vehicles, etc) here in America and take it with us to another country that is more welcoming???</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://wonderstube.com/tags/Amazingly+Realistic+Human+Paintings/">more...</a><br><br /><br />house jennifer hawkins without <img src="http://fwallpapers.com/files/imagecache/iphone4/images/jennifer-hawkins-2.jpg" alt="jennifer hawkins plastic surgery. jennifer hawkins wallpaper." title="jennifer hawkins wallpaper." width="470" <br><li>jennifer hawkins wallpaper.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">aachoo</div><div class="date">03-24 02:21 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I'm sure you meant Larry David ;)<br /> <br /> I am not sure which season this was from.

We think that since we pay taxes we are special. I cant imagine how out of touch with reality we are ....when I see postings like these for example remove EB1/EB2/EB3..whatever classification quota since we "the special class" of people are suffering, remove per country limit since we have paid taxes for 10 years, we will solve the housing crisis if we get gc's, we are responsible for creating innovation, progress and jobs (though i agree small percentage of the total pool may well be responsible for some innovation but not all), we are some sort of super humans , calling up senators/congressman - wont they be more interested in protecting their constituent's -- who I hate to say is not us (that is would be immigrants)<br /> <br /> Isn't it time for everyone to wake up and see the reality ? Why exacerbate the current conditions that will create even a bigger backlash? can we all handle that ?

I am sure this will not go unpunished on the people who did/do these terrible things. the punishment may be delayed, but I am 100% sure it's going to be devastating on the people. mark my words. 'Coz I believe there is a God above, who watches and at the appointed time the punishment will come.<br /> <br /> But the bible also says that God is forgiving. The Bible says the following: <br /> "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John; chap 1 verse 9)<br /> <br /> Also it says in the book of John (chapter 3 verse 16):<br /> "For God so loved the world (mankind) that he gave his son Jesus Christ to die as a sacrifice (for the sins of mankind), that whoever believes in Him (and repent), shall not perish but have eternal life".</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">walking_dude</div><div class="date">08-05 10:39 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Cases related to Immigration Law cannot be filed in regular courts. Only immigration courts/Judges can decide on matters related to immigration.<br /> <br /> Filing a case is one thing and winning it is a different thing. You guys will need an attorney who knows the ins-and-outs of Immigration law to win this case. I'm not surprised if AILA and USCIS (who have strong ties with AILA) oppose it in court. You guys think you can argue your case against these seasoned attorneys - without hiring an immigration lawyer, and win it?<br /> <br /> All I am saying is don't take decisions based on emotion. Give reality a chance.<br /> <br /> I have utmost respect for you Walking_Dude. Your leadership and ethusasm is phenomenal. But even in IV , I comes before We. <br /> <br /> Personally, I don't think one necessary needs a immigration attorney for this. This is a public interest litigation. The task is definitly not easy but if 50 people can join hands and willing to shell out $500 dollars. It is doable. But I doubt that will happen.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">mbartosik</div><div class="date">04-09 12:39 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">we've found that the more compelling arguments tend to be those related to US competitiveness. If I was to use the housing argument in a meeting, I would use it in a light hearted way while making a serious point. But it would certainly not be an issue that would be worth focusing on.<br /> <br /> You said it in post above -- e.g. competitive with European blue card.<br /> (The Blue Card is not like GC, however, comparing with UK and right to remain after a fixed 5 year period would be an argument more compelling than housing)<br /> <br /> Which are the most compelling arguments will also depend on the law maker's background. For some family issues are a factor, then housing can be brought into the mix with other issues like age out. However, law makers with which the family issues hold greater sway also are more likely to hold us hostage for CIR and relief for the undocumented.<br /> <br /> For most, common sense of justice is an issue, in which case housing can be brought up, but again, not an issue to focus on too much, more in the context of 'it is ironic that many of us want to buy houses but GC wait is what prohibits that, not the credit crunch'. Can be mentioned in passing, but not worth focusing on.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-70860233740487337062011-07-11T20:38:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.611-07:00vanessa hessler picturesimages com/artist/vanessa-hessler <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT9_yn09QfTgOsBYSZS7E1pK1stzfvNmKwugv7lyyXg3pmJwYqKV6sXkoT3Qssz89_ETMbqubgW9qAmYyOnFut94rysZqkgp1I7mcN2tbXSGEtQAcHim76iQIrw-ntOXd5Cu648FSjjQFR/s1600/vanessa-hessler.%252B%252525282%25252529.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures. vanessa hessler shoes." title="vanessa hessler shoes." width="470" <br><li>vanessa hessler shoes.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">alahiri</div><div class="date">07-15 11:01 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Like anything else there are people of all kinds...there are h1b's who own a house and BMW's (and stock options in the valley) and there are h1b's that share a apartment with a couple of roomates to save some money.I have been here for 10 years and I have seen all kinds...basically what a h1b does depends on wether he is bachelor,family man ,his age , experience and his priorities in life etc..the only thing common is that everyone of them can be much more productive if they get permanent residency.A GC will give them a lot of choices and will give them wings to fly.<br /> <br /> Wish everyone the best ...keep up the spirit and the good work.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper vanessa hessler shoes. <img src="http://www.lahiguera.net/cinemania/actores/vanessa_hessler/fotos/6315/vanessa_hessler.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures. vanessa hessler imagenes." title="vanessa hessler imagenes." width="470" <br><li>vanessa hessler imagenes.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">rimzhim</div><div class="date">01-28 10:02 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Lou Dobbs has found an audience who oppose any form of immigration.

I have been trying to drill this into some peoples brain but they are so adamant on renting and has made this thread into a rent vs buy argument. I finally gave up. I am not saying that this is the right time to buy. Fast forward 2 or 2+ years, lets assume the market is good. Then when it comes to rent vs buy I advocate buying a house. <br /> <br /> Let�s say you have a small kid and you are living in an apartment, after 10 years you save enough money to buy a big house and you then eventually you buy it. Then you ask the your kid �do you like the house?�. He will reply �it�s very nice dad, but can you give you give my childhood now?.�. Go figure out guys. If you are not planning on going back for a very long time then at-least get a life in the country you reside and when the housing market is good.<br /> <br /> Where do you get the idea that the child will loose the life in apartments and then get back after buying a house?:confused: It would be nice if we can buy the house on the day one when we join the job. Or even nicer if our parents got us a house in US before we came here:D. Unfortunately there are circumstances that prevent us buying a house. The biggest one is this bubble and the madness of multiple bidding that insanely pushed the real estate prices, all the while the realtors and mortgage brokers where making 300K or 500K yearly income selling shoe boxes for half a million and generating slogans like "you will be priced out forever", "they are not manufacturing any more land", "housing is always a good investment", "renting is throwing away money".</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><img src="http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6063/vanessa24is0.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures. hairstyles Vanessa Hessler gt;" title="hairstyles Vanessa Hessler gt;" width="470" <br><li>hairstyles Vanessa Hessler gt;</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">transpass</div><div class="date">03-26 03:36 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">The above link is one of those 35 straight denial decisions due to temporary job issue in 140.<br /> <br /> It was from california service center.

Just another EB2 person stuck in the never ending battle for GC. I can see your points, but financial hardships dont exactly change with GC. In this economy a GC is no guarantee for a job part-time or full-time.<br /> The house I am talking about was in a metropolitian area so probably thats why we didnt have too much trouble selling it. Selling it was very important since we were moving out of state for jobs. So perhaps I didnt ask for too high a price-no loss however, just not the 150k profits people had seen before the crash.<br /> I totally agree that house is a long term commitment and that location, the timing and the place you find yourself in your life are the most imp things. But I still refuse to believe that not having a GC should stop someone from simple pleasures of living such as owing a house to raise your family in.<br /> Just my 2 cents.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />2010 vanessa hessler - hot, vanessa <img src="http://ambinet.pl/galerie/vanessa_hessler/vanessa_hessler6b.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures. com/artist/vanessa-hessler" title="com/artist/vanessa-hessler" width="470" <br><li>com/artist/vanessa-hessler</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">rameshvaid</div><div class="date">07-14 05:23 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">EB3-I..please print the attached word doc and sign and mail it to Department of state..this week<br /> <br /> Moderator could you makes this Sticky please<br /> <br /> Could somebody also post the adderess of USCIS please..<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I mailed letter today..<br /> <br /> RV</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://www.nivot.org/post/2009/07/18/PowerShell20QuickTipCaptureVerboseErrorWarningStreams.aspx">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.fashiontimes.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/29-guess.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures. vanessa hessler asterix." title="vanessa hessler asterix." width="470" <br><li>vanessa hessler asterix.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">Rayyan</div><div class="date">01-08 11:35 AM</div></div><div class="posttext"><<<<<</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hair vanessa hessler pics. <img src="http://www.iceposter.com/thumbs/G256426_b.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures.

Essentially; they were trying to circumvent h-1b for jobs that normally didn't require degrees.<br /> <br /> USCIS and the courts basically stated that if a person is not working at your location then you are considered a "token" employer and that the job requirements of where you are actually working is what needs to be demonstrated to see if the job requires a degree.<br /> <br /> Most of h-1b rfe's are trying to determine whether the petitioner is the employer or the agent (they ask for office information, project details and intertwine it to whether you have specailty occupation work at your location) or if the information on your payroll reports; your office size, pictures, etc., show that you are an agent. If they believe that you are an agent then they go the purchase order route.<br /> <br /> Now; uscis is totally misapplying this because h-1b is simple; job requreis a degree and person has that degree. In this particular case; nursing agency was trying to create a degree requirement for job that normally doesn't require one.<br /> <br /> However; they are applying this standard to all the staffing companies. I would read it and memorize it as this is quoted in every one of the denials.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hairstyles vanessa hessler Bilder. <img src="http://thatdarkkidkevin.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/13-guess2.jpg" alt="vanessa hessler pictures.

You want to buy an insurance policy to a secure job as if you are the only one entitled to have a job. This is a lower aim so you are bound to fail i.e. lose your job.<br /> <br /> And how do you define �replacing some American workers�. There is a plant in Yuma, AZ manufacturing aircrafts for Kingfisher airlines in India. Doesn�t this mean that someone in India is being replaced by American worker???? Maybe we should stop all trade and we should have all needs of one country fill within its borders. Maybe we should say � from now on no one is going to do any business, collaboration, partnership and place orders to companies outside of the borders of the country where you live. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The best argument of restrictionist is either talk about no H-1B or green cards or talk about unlimited H-1Bs and green cards as if the extremes make the only reality in this world. Have you ever seen numbers like 290,000 or maybe 450,000. These are called whole numbers in mathematics and reside somewhere between ZERO and INFINITY/UNLIMITED.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Stop bickering in the name of American people. More than 99% Americans don�t even know what is H-1B visa or employment based green card. And one more thing, people�s opinion is the most foolish thing to look at when making a decision. Do you remember the % of people in favor of Iraq war in 2002? - More than 70%<br /> Do you know how many people are in favor of pulling out of Iraq now, putting all the blame on the Administration? � around 70%<br /> Do you know the % of �American people� saying that they screwed up by supporting the war in 2002? � 0% <br /> No one would come out to say the nations and millions of people got screwed up due to "MY" twisted ideology in 2002. So let�s keep this argument of �American People� out of this debate.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In free market and capitalist economy, the measure of productivity doesn�t come from some lawmaker who is out of sink with reality or from the ideology of orgs like IEEE-USA or from posters like you. The measure of productivity comes from the employers and the companies. And if that is how it works best for the economy, society and the nation, then so be it. That is the reason why this society is more advanced. You may be afraid of such a situation but I am not scared of a scenario where someone who can perform a better job, either a citizen or on H-1B, takes my job. But that is ok, your way of thinking is all based on the premises that every one out there is after you and some how you have to eliminate this competition at the soonest.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You have used the argument of abuse, productivity, economy, outsourcing, country of origin and the color of Dick Morris� underwear - to argue against H-1B and to come extent green card number increase. Time and again I have said that this is not about H-1B. We, the people on this forum, want to discuss about GREEN CARD BACKLOGS. But you want to keep the discussion away from green card backlog and want the discussion be in the arena of H-1B. I must share with you that I have received atleast 7 different private messages telling me to �not waste my time with idiot like yourself�.<br /> Like you ass, you keep your views and your opinions with yourself. Don�t poke your ass and your views into a place where they don�t belong. And please stop worrying about being displaced by someone else on H-1B. You have not even gotten green card and you have already turned into a restrictionist. Please wait for sometime and there will be enough time and opportunity for you to join the ranks of IEEE-USA. This makes me to think that there are 2 possibilities:<br /> 1.) You have very low self esteem and you think very lowly about yourself. Thus you are scared of the competition<br /> 2.) You are not capable enough or technically sound to compete with other around you. And just like IEEE-USA you are looking for ways to eliminate your future probable competition using words/phrases like �displacement of US workers�.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I tried to explain this guy Senthil that I already proved in form of permanent labor certificate and I 140 petition that I am not displacing any american worker and why I have to prove the same fact for every renewal and he comes with a logic that GC is for future job and H1b is for current job. But you know what my GC application was filed very well in the past ...:) , I mean more than 3 years ago ...<br /> <br /> Somehow some people think they are better than every one else in the crowd and things dont go wrong for them because they have either a particular degree or work in a so called permanent Job . <br /> <br /> These guys are in more alignment with view of ALIPAC and Numbers USA where people think some elses loss is my gain.

(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303654804576349282770703112.html) By JASON ZWEIG | Wall Street Journal<br /> <br /> There is a cash crisis in corporate America�although it comes not from a shortage of the stuff, but from a surplus.<br /> <br /> In the first quarter, the five companies with the greatest cash hoards�Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Google, Apple and Johnson & Johnson�added $15 billion in cash and marketable securities to their balance sheets. Microsoft alone packed away roughly $9 billion, or $100 million a day. All told, the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index are sitting on more than $960 billion in cash, a record.<br /> <br /> To be sure, at many companies the cash piling up is at global operations that generate "undistributed foreign earnings" that can't be brought home, under U.S. law, without incurring taxes of up to 35%. But hundreds of billions in cash remain available�and idle.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the payout ratio�the proportion of earnings paid out as dividend income to shareholders�fell to 28.9% for the past four quarters. That, says S&P senior index analyst Howard Silverblatt, is the lowest level since 1936. Dividends are going up�Intel, UnitedHealth Group and WellPoint have recently raised them�but cash is still piling up far faster than most industrial giants can possibly find a prudent use for it. Of course, investors themselves might have a better use for the cash, if they could get at it.<br /> <br /> As Daniel Peris, co-manager of the Federated Strategic Value Dividend fund, says, "The likelihood of spending money poorly is increased by having a surplus of it."<br /> <br /> Microsoft's purchase price for the online telecommunications firm Skype, widely criticized as too rich at $8.5 billion, almost precisely matches the amount of cash that Microsoft raked in last quarter. Was that torrent of cash burning a hole in Microsoft's pocket?<br /> <br /> "No way," says Bill Koefoed, general manager of investor relations at Microsoft. "We see this as being a very strategic acquisition."<br /> <br /> The heart of the problem, as the great investor Benjamin Graham pointed out decades ago, is that the best interests of corporate management and outside investors are at odds. That is especially true for giant companies whose growth has been slowing. "The more dubious the company's prospects�the more anxious management is to retain all the cash it can in the business," Graham wrote. "But the stockholders would be well advised to take out all the capital that can be safely spared, because these funds are much more valuable to them if in their own pockets, or invested elsewhere."<br /> <br /> Amnesia is another culprit. In the past, companies paid out vastly more of their profits as dividends, and they should again. "If there were a greater historical sensibility among investors and managers," Mr. Peris says, today's low payouts "would be called out as an abnormal situation that's likely to lead to that money being less well-spent than it otherwise might be."<br /> <br /> Dividends have gotten short shrift in recent years as investors have come to favor companies that instead use cash surpluses to buy back their shares. Meanwhile, with the economic recovery barely out of the sickbed, many companies are reluctant to invest heavily in expansion. Others want to keep cash handy for potential acquisitions. So cash sits idle�even as interest rates, after inflation, are so low that cash often produces negative real returns.<br /> <br /> Benjamin Graham made three simple proposals in 1951 that deserve to be revived.<br /> <br /> First, investors need to realize that a company's cash is a valuable asset, even when interest rates are low; if management won't put it to good use, investors must speak up. As Graham wrote: "When the results on capital are unsatisfactory, it is appropriate for stockholders to�insist that it be returned to stockholders on an equitable basis."<br /> <br /> Second, companies should set formal dividend policies. Rather than paying or raising dividends out of the blue, they should state in advance what proportion of earnings they expect to pay out as cash dividends. If, instead, they plan to use excess cash to buy back shares, they should offer hard evidence that the stock is undervalued.<br /> <br /> Finally, Graham advocated that leading companies should pay out two-thirds of their earnings as dividends. That rate isn't as radical as it might sound, even though it would amount to more than a doubling from today's levels. The dividend payout, as a percentage of total profits, has averaged 52.3% since 1936 and 46% over the past two decades, according to Standard & Poor's.<br /> <br /> If the companies in the S&P 500 raised their payout ratio to 50%, Mr. Silverblatt estimates, that would put an extra $207 billion into investors' pockets�at a time when shareholders' dividend income is taxed at historically low rates.<br /> <br /> "Companies are basically earning more than they've ever made before, but their payouts are nowhere near that high," says Mr. Silverblatt. "They're holding their cash really tight. You can call them Scrooges if you want."<br /> <br /> <br /> A Generation of Slackers?

I would rather have my money in liquid form and take it with me (or have the ability to take it with me).<br /> as someone else said ..maybe an option would be to stay back and sell the house (at a loss I guess) ..and risk going out of status (but re-entry would be problematic).<br /> I had a question though ..if GC is denied and EAD is valid for 2 years ..can you stay till EAD expiration date ?

Most of forclosed properties need substantial investment to fix them. Generally public gets the last chance of good foreclosed properties. It is a bank- real estate nexus which eats up the good inventory before hitting into the market. US home auction is not a real auction but more like a open house for 100 properties at the same time. Quality of inventory is not worth it.<br /> <br /> Excellent point. If you friends with real estate investor, they might get you a deal. Its the same thing like used car sales. If you know the guy who does car auctions all the time you will get a nice car for real cheap. Same thing with houses too. Start looking for a good real estate investor. These people might charge some money for<br /> <br /> 1. finding a good deal<br /> 2. going thru auction/shortsale/whatever<br /> 3. fixup the house <br /> 4. help in financing<br /> 5. their profit<br /> <br /> giving that money is worth the hassle. <br /> <br /> The most difficult part finding this person.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://gnocchialacarte.iobloggo.com/">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/335010624_1/Cuenca_panama_hat_in_bleached_color.jpg" alt="panama hat palm. panama hat palm. panama" title="panama hat palm. panama" width="470" <br><li>panama hat palm. panama</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">obviously</div><div class="date">04-10 12:41 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Fighting between EB categories shows how shallow our debates can turn out to be!

You come into USA on white I-94 card and they gave validity until July 2009.<br /> <br /> Now; you file for change of employer and extend status until July 2010. The notice of action will have the same I-94 number as the date of your last entry.<br /> <br /> Now; you go outside USA; on your way back in the port of entry officer mistakenly gives you a white I-94 card only valid until your visa expires (july 2009). Now; if you overstay July 2009 then you would have been considered to be unlawfully present from July 2009. <br /> <br /> Bottom line: your last action generally overrules your stay.<br /> <br /> Such mistakes can be corrected by CBP defered inspectors but they will only correct typo errors by the CBP at POE .

We design computer-chips that enable about 50% of the world's cellular phones.<br /> <br /> I will definitely be moving out of the US when the Dems get elected as I do not think that they are capable of making the politically tough but necessary decisions on immigration. They are beholden to too many populist groups and will make the immigration issue a class-based fight. I've had enough of paying taxes, creating $$ & jobs for US-based companies - I've been waiting since 1999.<br /> <br /> I am of course thankful to the US taxpayer who has paid for my graduate school tuition and board, to the US-companies that have given me opportunities that are equal to native-born Americans, and to my American friends for their friendship and hospitality. But prudence demands that I hedge my bets and I will have to relocate to friendlier shores.<br /> <br /> Thought I'd share my experience. Good Luck to All.<br /> <br /> By the next Presidential Election I will have mostly gotten my green card. I know I won't be eligible to vote then, but I will still be eligible to donate to the election campaigns. I have decided right now that whatever may happen I will donate to that party which makes my journey to the green card easier and faster.<br /> <br /> I also have a plan B if I don't get my green card in next 24 months. I am a chemical engineer by education and profession with a US graduate degree in chemical engineering and more than 7 years of work experience in a premium organization in the oil, gas & chemicals industry. Everyone is more than aware how good the oil, gas & chemicals industry is doing worldwide. I very well know that I am a hot commodity in the job market in the whole world. Those who have traveled on Singapore Airlines must have seen advertisements in the Singapore airport displaying that oil and gas is their largest (next to Singapore Airlines) revenue making industry and they need qualified and experienced personnel. Job advertisements in the airport? Wow! Think why Alberta is the hottest place these days. I got an invitation from Canadian Government to apply for Canadian green card, citing my occupation. Australian Government has declared Chemical Engineering as the occupation with the highest demand in Australia due to their conventional mining and metals business and now the newly found gas reserves in north and west parts of that continent. This is my plan B. I have already secured an Australian Permanent Residency and that too in 6 months time. Hats off to the highly efficient immigration department of the Australian Government. In addition I already have 3 job offers there - one each in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.<br /> <br /> I have 2 burning innovative ideas in my mind - one related to biogas and carbon credits and the other related to water desalination. I have kept both of them on hold right now until I get the US green card. I know I will work on them but not sure which country gets the benefit - USA or Australia.<br /> <br /> Then why am I sticking around here in the US? 1. I have a US graduate degree, 2. Both my daughters are born here and are US citizens and 3. I can't deny that I have started to put down my roots here. 24 more months and will not hesitate to quit USA and settle in Australia. It will be tough, but can't help it being forced to do it.<br /> <br /> P.S. Two of my friends with similar background as mine, have left for Australia for good in August this year. They have settled in Sydney. Another acquaintance with occupation related to oil & gas, has migrated to Perth.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <a href="http://sitodel.ru/cms_stat.html">more...</a><br><br /><br /><img src="http://www.mobot.org/mobot/research/apweb/trees/piperalesnotl.gif" alt="panama hat palm.

Kaiser.<br /> <br /> The upward arc of his career also delineates the way money has altered Washington during the last three decades. Money has transformed American politics, the career choices available here and even the landscape of the nation's capital. Raising money has become a key to electoral success, while spending taxpayers' dollars has helped incumbents get reelected.<br /> <br /> Cassidy helped change Washington by shaping the culture of congressional earmarks that became so important in the last dozen years. Earmarks directly transfer the government's money to particular institutions and interests. He and his original partner helped invent the idea of lobbying for earmarked appropriations -- an idea that made Cassidy rich and fed a system of interdependence between lobbyists and Congress that thrives today.<br /> <br /> In a blog he launched this year on his company's Web site, which he used to respond to installments of this series, Cassidy offered a warning about the future of lobbying: "Our profession is at a critical point where we can either embrace the constructive changes and reforms by Congress or we can seek out loopholes and continue the slippery slide into history along side the ranks of snake oil salesmen."<br /> <br /> The first lobbying firms were established in the mid-'70s, just when Cassidy left McGovern's select committee on nutrition to begin his lobbying career. As the reach of the federal government extended into more corners of American life, opportunities for lobbyists proliferated. "The issues have multiplied," as Cassidy put it. Over these three decades the amount of money spent on Washington lobbying increased from tens of millions to billions a year. The number of free-lance lobbyists offering services to paying clients has grown from scores to thousands. Cassidy was one of the first to become a millionaire by lobbying; he now has plenty of company.<br /> <br /> The term "lobbyist" does not do full justice to the complex status of today's most successful practitioners, who can play the roles of influence peddlers, campaign contributors and fundraisers, political advisers, restaurateurs, benefactors of local cultural and charitable institutions, country gentlemen and more. They have helped make greater Washington one of the wealthiest regions in America. <br /> <br /> During his time in Washington, Cassidy said in one of many interviews he gave for these articles that the United States has experienced "a huge redistribution of income, and you can't blame just the Republicans, because it has happened through Democratic presidencies, and through Democratic and Republican congresses."<br /> <br /> So the rich have gotten richer, the weak weaker? "I refuse to argue the obvious. ... It's just true, largely because they have less representation. You look at the movements out there, there is no anti-hunger movement, there is no committee on the Hill looking into poverty." Representation, of course, is Cassidy's line of work. It is as old as the republic, but only in Cassidy's time has lobbying become the biggest Washington industry.<br /> <br /> This happened because lobbying works so well. Cassidy and his original partner, Kenneth Schlossberg, demonstrated its efficacy by devising ways to win earmarked appropriations from Congress for their clients, originally colleges, universities and medical centers. As Cassidy's clients began to win appropriations of $10 million, $15 million, $20 million and more in the 1980s, new lobbying firms emerged to compete with Cassidy. An increasing number of institutions and local governments looked for help to win earmarks of their own. The lobbying boom had begun.<br /> <br /> Incumbent members of the House and Senate complain that they have to spend a third or more of their working hours raising money for their next elections. To help with this task, lobbyists have become campaign treasurers and fundraisers for members and have been responsible for scores of millions in political contributions. <br /> <br /> Cassidy understands the low regard many Americans have for his profession but thinks it is unfair. "Lobbying is no more perfect than is the practice of law or the practice of medicine," he observed -- implying that it is no worse, either. He prides himself on his firm's "tradition of ethics and integrity," trumpeted on the firm's Web site. Since 1988, Cassidy's lawyers have given his employees annual ethics seminars.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo Panama Hat Palm <img src="http://youonlyliveonce.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/NaturalHistoryMuseumNY1.jpg" alt="panama hat palm. well as a Panama hat palm," title="well as a Panama hat palm," width="470" <br><li>well as a Panama hat palm,</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">kc_p21</div><div class="date">01-07 05:32 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">Refugee_New:<br /> <br /> I would suggest that you get a DONKEY and move to Saudi or Afghanistan and practice your religion.

Why did it take them so long to stop it? Why did they wait until after July 07 to stop it. Were they not allowing people to use this back door and lawyers to make money?<br /> <br /> - If consulting is a problem, what were they doing in the past few years? What are they doing now? Do you think just a few raids once is enough to stop the problem? Why can't they enforce their own laws so that they punish the companies and not the immigrants.<br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS making paperwork difficult. Why can't the system be simple like Canada or Australia so that we can do our own paperwork? Why are lawyers in the picture?<br /> <br /> - If they find problem in consulting, why are they not going after Tata, Wipro etc. Don't tell me these companies are clean? <br /> <br /> - Why is USCIS so disorganized without good IT. Do you think other agencies are also same? Do you think USCIS does not have enough money?<br /> <br /> - Why can't they ban DV lottery? But go after H1Bs. You will say to do that law must be changed. But at least go strict on whom you approve once they are selected in the lottery. Are they not bringing lot of criminals, fanatics, unemployed and uneducated poor through DV.<br /> <br /> - Why can't ICE do their job of enforcement and round up illegals. If they were strict we will not have so many illegals or the problem of illegals.<br /> <br /> The questions will go on.

It�s not because they want to, it is just because they went through it. Indian software companies are just like, I worked enough in software industry and I have even been on call 24 hours but the truth is, it was never 12 hours or 10 hours work every day. Yes, occasionally I had 12 hours work which is the same in every industry and I used to get calls in the middle of the night at least once or twice during the night, but its not 10 hours work everyday. We want to impress our boss by working 10 hours, that�s the truth; it�s not that your boss wants. <br /> <br /> Similarly, in India people go to work on Saturday not because they have work but to show their face to their PM. Even if God comes down and says that people in India work 10 hours everyday, I cannot believe it. They might be in office for 10-12 hours but that does not mean they are working. It is the people who should be blamed for this. Yesterday�s programmer or today�s PM, and they expect the programmer to be there in the office for 10 hours just because they went through it. I am an ex TCSer, things worked exactly as I said. It is never going to change. All these talks about stress and coding 10 hours straight come on.....:cool:<br /> <br /> I partly disagree... I had worked in 6 different companies in India and in 3 companies, i had to work for more than 12 hours a day.

But reform has to stop the abuse of the system, not break the system itself.<br /> <br /> 1. How can we ever defend a reform that prevents H1B holder from performong services for another client? Does that mean Deloitte, IBM, BCG, Mckenzie et.al. will not be able to employ any foreign national any more? <br /> <br /> 2. How can we mandate that someone, who might have their labor and 140 approved, has to go through a certification process to renew H1 for the same job? <br /> <br /> These are some of the many things wrong with this bill. If Senator Durbin wants to really make "American workers first; H1B abuse limited" work, he might attempt to do the following:<br /> <br /> 1. Free up the system such that a temporary worker can certify himself/herself for a job position for a few years (aka EAD for 3 years without being tied to an employer). The employer has to pay the same prevailing wage etc.<br /> <br /> 2. Do not abuse the worker by asking him/her to pay for Social Security and Medicare when you call him "temporary" worker. H1B workers should be exempt from such taxes till they file 485 (Adjustment of status).<br /> <br /> And there are many more that I can think of that makes sense.

His viewership is not in millions but in hundred thousands. 762,000 to be precise. With such viewership numbers nobody targets him because its not worth it. Even "SpongeBob SquarePants" a carton show on Nickelodeon manages to get higher viewership than Lou Dobbs even though "SpongeBob SquarePants" is targeted at children.<br /> <br /> we are targeting him because he is saying things which are inaccurate if not ludicrous regarding immigration. He is similar to tancredo. Did anybody know there was a xenophobe called tancredo before he started riling against CIR. Lou Dobbs and Tancredo realized they have stuck gold with there diatribe against immigration and they are riding this xenophobic wave for it full worth.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Wonder why he is not questioned, ridiculed or targetted by other TV standups or show masters. The truth is, Dobbs has a following - people who would like to hear again and again what they want to hear and CNN knows it. Even if he is spilling BS, at some point, repetetion may make it sound like " oh, there is something in what he says" attitude, mainly because of familiarity by that repetetion itself. Maybe he will end up a Congressman or a clown instead, the fact is, he can elicit attention of a few millions -by his talk show and write-ups. From McCain to Romney, Sen. Clinton to Bush, if people see the quick policy/face changes among the politicians and compare with some stray ---- like Dobbs saying (barking) the same thing over and over again, there is a chance that he might end up scoring more in popularity than the president.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">nogc_noproblem</div><div class="date">08-26 01:05 AM</div></div><div class="posttext">Why cats are better then men ...<br /> <br /> � A cat matures as it grows older. <br /> � Back hair on cats is cute. <br /> � When a cat sleeps all day it's natural, not annoying. <br /> � Unlike a man, a cat can fend for itself. <br /> � A cat is loyal. <br /> � Cats actually think with their heads. <br /> � "Meow" is never a lie. <br /> � They'll both stand outside your door and whine, but the cat will stop when it gets in. :)<br /> � It's more amusing to watch a cat try and deal with a piece of tape stuck on its paw than to watch a man do anything. <br /> � To buy a fancy dinner for a cat only costs 35 cents. <br /> � A cat's friend is less likely to be annoying. <br /> � Cats can't show love without meaning it. <br /> � Cats are always cute.</div></div><hr /><br><br>logitech siphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04788621778728440594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282611358485907606.post-74467621484438624302011-07-11T17:12:00.000-07:002011-07-13T02:12:12.611-07:00jean claude van damme kickimages Jean-Claude Van Damme that <img src="http://www.filmjunk.com/images/weblog/2011/05/jcvdexpendables2.jpg" alt="jean claude van damme kick. and Jean-Claude Van Damme." title="and Jean-Claude Van Damme." width="470" <br><li>and Jean-Claude Van Damme.</li><br><br /><br /><div class="post"><div class="posttop"><div class="username">funny</div><div class="date">09-30 01:52 PM</div></div><div class="posttext">I love to see Obama in White House too. My only concern is who drives his Immigration Policy. Sen. Durbin? The provisions in CIR 2007 were scary.<br /> <br /> I am here legally in this country from Sept 2000. <br /> Applied for GC in March 2006 (EB3 I), filed 485 in July 07, used AC 21 in April 08 and now working on EAD. <br /> <br /> I already had backup plan for Canada. If I wanted to keep my Canadian PR current I had to fulfill the 2 yrs out of first 5 requirement and was required to relocate to Canada in Aug 07. After July 07 fiasco and getting EAD, I thought of giving up on that back-up plan. It was not an easy decision, but we decided to bite the bullet and were thinking that AC-21 memo and EAD are good enough safe-guards for any denial if and when it comes. Also other thing I thought as it is it's going to take ages for my date to become current by that time at least my child's education will be done (he is in high school) and he doesn't have to go through relocation pains as far as school is concerned. He has already done that 4 times in last 8 years. So all in all we were satisfied with the decision to abandon Canadian PR and using AC 21. But now all of a sudden I see there are so many denials for straight forward AC21 cases and moreover if Obama wins then immigration policy are driven by Durbin. AC-21 is the thread that I am hanging on to, if that goes away then what....just don't want to think about it.<br /> <br /> <br /> Correct me if i am wrong, But, The general feeling that i am getting from this whole discussion is that, If Obama becomes the next President and if his Buddy Se. Durbin is driving the immigration issues then , Are they going to scrap all the pending Employment Based GCs, and, all the People who have already used AC21 will be in trouble, thats like starting the whole thing over again. <br /> <br /> I personally think that this will not be the case and the new laws will be applicable to the new applications, because, when you invoked AC21 you did it according to the law, how come you will be in trouble because of a new law. <br /> <br /> Its like saying , If a crime of theft is going to have a Death panelty starting 2010, then all the convicted people from past will be hanged in 2010." That somehow doesn't sound right...I would like to get opinion from other people.</div></div><hr /><br><br> <br /><br />wallpaper and Jean-Claude Van Damme. <img src="http://www.cagedinsider.com/wp-content/images/mma/2010/10/jean_claude_van_damme.jpg" alt="jean claude van damme kick.

It�s not because they want to, it is just because they went through it. Indian software companies are just like, I worked enough in software industry and I have even been on call 24 hours but the truth is, it was never 12 hours or 10 hours work every day. Yes, occasionally I had 12 hours work which is the same in every industry and I used to get calls in the middle of the night at least once or twice during the night, but its not 10 hours work everyday. We want to impress our boss by working 10 hours, that�s the truth; it�s not that your boss wants. <br /> <br /> Similarly, in India people go to work on Saturday not because they have work but to show their face to their PM. Even if God comes down and says that people in India work 10 hours everyday, I cannot believe it. They might be in office for 10-12 hours but that does not mean they are working. It is the people who should be blamed for this. Yesterday�s programmer or today�s PM, and they expect the programmer to be there in the office for 10 hours just because they went through it. I am an ex TCSer, things worked exactly as I said. It is never going to change. All these talks about stress and coding 10 hours straight come on.....:cool:<br /> <br /> I partly disagree... I had worked in 6 different companies in India and in 3 companies, i had to work for more than 12 hours a day.

I think he will win. If might not be good for us because of the following<br /> a) Sen Durbin, is anti H1 and also anti GC (IMO)<br /> b) Massive support from labor unions. Just reading some of the statements from the the unions who support him indicate that they will want their pound of flesh after the elections. Watch out for those changes.<br /> c) If the democrats get a majority then there might be a chance (Reps dont have a chance of getting a majority), if the congress stays divided then the opinions are sharper and the same thing will happen again.<br /> d) CIR had little if any EB benefits, it was mainly for the illegals...we were simply added due to actions from IV and the rest.<br /> <br /> <br /> Yes, I would also love to see Sen Obama as President. I have no doubt in my mind that a Harvard graduate can get USA out of this economic turmoil. Obama presidency comes with a price for high-skilled immigrants because of the influence of Sen. Durbin on Sen. Obama on EB immigration issues. Past proposals from Sen. Durbin has scared the heck out of EB folks. If there is any changes to AC21 law like portability and H1 extensions, then many high-skilled immigrants might be sent packing because they cannot maintain status. <br /> <br /> I have been in this country for almost 10 years and still have a long way to go before I get my green card. A Green Card system that was devised for a wait time of few years, has been clogged and is taking decades for people to get Green Cards. On top of it if the rules of the game is changed (like that proposed in CIR), I certainly don't want to get into this black hole queue again. If I have to start over my GC process again I would rather start it else where other than USA. I am strongly inclined to start my Canadian PR process if I don't see any process improvement in the GC process in the next year. Decades of waiting for a Green card has taken the edge out of my creativity and innovative spirit. It has causes me to compromise on professional ambitions. Even after 10 years of wait for this never ending ordeal, I still have to spend thousands of dollars every year on immigration expenses. I still cannot commit to buying a house and settling down because of the uncertain future due to Green Card limbo.<br /> <br /> The luke warm reception to Lofgren bills by the Republican's have shown what we can expect if Sen. McCain becomes the President.

Instead, the companies donated the tickets back to the charity sponsors, with the names of recipients they wanted to see and sit with at the galas. <br /> <br /> The arrangement was one of the most visible efforts, but hardly the only one, to get around new rules passed by Congress this summer limiting meals, travel, gifts and campaign contributions from lobbyists and companies that employ them. <br /> <br /> Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) found bipartisan agreement on maintaining one special privilege. Together they put language into a defense appropriations bill that would keep legal the practice of some senators of booking several flights on days they return home, keeping the most convenient reservation and dumping the rest without paying cancellation fees -- a practice some airlines say could violate the new law. <br /> <br /> Senators also have granted themselves a grace period on requirements that they pay pricey charter rates for private jet travel. Lobbyists continue to bundle political contributions to lawmakers but are now making sure the totals do not trigger new public reporting rules. And with presidential nominating conventions coming next summer, lawmakers and lobbyists are working together to save another tradition endangered by the new rules: the convention party feting one lawmaker. <br /> <br /> "You can't have a party honoring a specific member. It's clear to me -- but it's not clear to everybody," said Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate ethics committee. She said the committee is getting "these questions that surround the edges -- 'If it's midnight the night before,' 'If I wear one shoe and not the other.' " <br /> <br /> Democrats touted the new ethics law as the most thorough housecleaning since Watergate, and needed after a host of scandals during 12 years of Republican rule. Prompted by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff's wheeling and dealing and the jailing of three members of Congress on corruption charges in recent years, the law, signed by President Bush on Sept. 14, was heralded by congressional leaders as a real change in Washington's influence game. <br /> <br /> But the changes have prompted anxiety about what perks are still permissible. In recent months, the House and Senate ethics committees have fielded more than 1,000 questions from lobbyists and congressional staffers seeking guidance -- or an outright waiver -- for rules banning weekend trips and pricey wedding gifts, five-course dinners and backstage passes. <br /> <br /> Looking for ways to keep spreading freebies legally, hundreds of lobbyists have been attending seminars at Washington law firms to learn the ins and outs of the new law. <br /> <br /> At a recent American League of Lobbyists briefing, Cleta Mitchell of the Foley & Lardner law firm said that while the law bans lobbyists from buying lawmakers or staffers a meal, it is silent on picking up bar tabs. A woman in the third row asked hopefully, "You can buy them as many drinks as you want, as often as you want?" <br /> <br /> No, Mitchell said, not unless the drinkers are the lobbyist's personal friends, and she pays from her own pocket. <br /> <br /> If that rule was clear to some, two charity dinners allowed hazier interpretations. <br /> <br /> Most of the 40 lawmakers dining on red snapper ceviche and beef tenderloin at the recent Hispanic Caucus Institute gala at the Washington Convention Center got their tickets from corporations, said Paul Brathwaite, a principal with the Podesta Group lobbying firm. <br /> <br /> Brathwaite said about a dozen of Podesta's corporate clients bought tables of 10 for $5,000 to $25,000 for the Hispanic dinner and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation gala over the past three weeks. The companies then gave the tickets back to the foundations -- along with lists of lawmakers and staff members they wanted to invite. Some lawmakers did buy their own tickets, Brathwaite said, but many did not. <br /> <br /> The rules require that charity sponsors do the inviting and decide who sits where. But "at the end of the night, everyone is happy," said Hispanic Caucus Institute spokesman Scott Gunderson Rosa. <br /> <br /> "The corporate folks want us at their tables, of course," said Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who sat at a Fannie Mae-sponsored table at the Hispanic dinner. <br /> <br /> Another provision of the new ethics law bans House members from flying on corporate jets. But senators, including the half-dozen presidential candidates among them, can still do so. Previously they were required to reimburse plane owners the equivalent of a first-class ticket, but now they must pay charter rates, which can increase travel costs tenfold. <br /> <br /> The Senate ethics committee decided not to enforce that rule for at least 60 days after it took effect Sept. 14, citing "the lack of experience in many offices in determining 'charter rates.' " <br /> <br /> The decision surprised some Senate staffers, Mitchell said, one of whom e-mailed her to say, "Welcome to the world of skirting around the rules we pass." <br /> <br /> "Breathtaking. . . . In my view, they're not complying with the plain language of the law," Mitchell said. "I think it should be easier for members of Congress to travel, not harder. But what I don't appreciate as a citizen is Congress passing something but then interpreting it so it doesn't mean what the law clearly says." <br /> <br /> The law has dragged into view several such perks that members long enjoyed but didn't reveal -- until they sought exemptions to the new rules. <br /> <br /> Lawmakers for years have booked several flights for a day when they plan to leave town. When they finish work, they take the most convenient flight and cancel the rest without paying fees, a privilege denied others. But after the new law passed, some airlines stopped the practice, worried that it violates the gift ban. <br /> <br /> Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Robert F. Bennett (R-Utah) appealed to the Senate ethics committee to allow multiple bookings. Then Reid and McConnell added language to the defense bill that, if it passes, would extend the perk to staffers, too. <br /> <br /> New bans on corporate-paid fun could hit hardest at the 2008 presidential nominating conventions. The law prohibits parties honoring a lawmaker on convention days; some lobbyists say the wording means such parties before or after those days are okay. House and Senate members have asked the ethics committees for guidance. <br /> <br /> "That's one of the issues that's going to need some clarification," said Senate ethics panelist Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), whose home state will host the Democrats in August. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, lobbyists are booking up Denver's trendy warehouse district and Minnesota's Mall of America, near the GOP convention site in Minneapolis-St. Paul, for the pre-convention weekends. Host committees for both conventions say they will honor state delegations, including members of Congress who take part. <br /> <br /> "I think you'll see a lot of umbrella invitations," said Patrick Murphy, lobbyist for mCapitol Management, who is planning Democratic convention parties. "Invite 'Friends of Montana' and see who shows up." <br /> <br /> One of the most fought-over parts of the law requires that lobbyists who bundle multiple campaign contributions totaling more than $15,000 file reports every six months. But lawyers say that a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton signals a way to avoid public reporting when that rule kicks in Jan. 1.<br /> <br /> Female politicos have been e-mailing each other a slick online invitation to "Make History With Hillary," a summit and fundraiser on Wednesday. The invitation encourages women to bundle for Clinton by promising them online credit for each ticket they sell. Women who have already donated their legal individual limit of $2,300 cannot attend unless they bring in another $4,000. <br /> <br /> "It's a universe of junior bundlers under the radar screen," said Kenneth Gross, a campaign finance lawyer at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. For the lobbyists among them, the amounts are so small that "you don't have to worry about tracking them, and it would add up to a material sum over time" -- but less than the $15,000 limit. <br /> <br /> If a lobbyist asked his advice on the practice, Gross said, "I'd say 'Go for it.'

I strongly think this will be the likely outcome next year and so EB3 India should see the PD movement approximately the same as EB3 ROW- but this will happen only when EB2 is current and the spill over reaches EB3 (this will likely happen in the final quarter of 2009)<br /> <br /> but you are not correct about this. please look it up. The vertical spillover was going to EB3 ROW, had that not been so, EB2 I would not have become U, even though (you are right about that) USCIS was actually allocating a little too fast.<br /> <br /> The bottom line is this: before the "system changed" the spillover went to EB3 ROW (country quota more important that category preference)<br /> Now with revised interpretation spillover goes first to EB2 retrogressed countries (preference category precedent over country quota- use of soft quota provison from AC21). Either way Eb3 I was last on the totem pole.<br /> There would have been no spillover to EB3 I in either situation. I'm not saying this to either to justify it or to argue for it's fairness. Just trying to make a point about the root issues.<br /> Therefore, the "change" leaves EB3 I exactly where it was before- which of course is an insane place to be. Frankly, in your place, I would be freaking going out of my mind. But if your only reason for this action is that "change", you have to sit back a moment and understand what the change has doen (or in this case not done) to you.<br /> The ONLY way to solve the EB3I problem is increased GC numbers. That is why recapture has been the first and foremost thing we have always pursued. Last time there was a recapture, GC numbers went to every single category. Anyway you look at it, if with a recapture, EB2 became current, every bit of spillover in every quarter would go to EB3. Eventually, there will be more long lasting reform. For now we desperately need the extra numbers in any form or shape.<br /> <br /> Just my 2c. not trying to trying to "stop your voice from being heard". One piece of friendly and well meaning advice. Target letters and measures at those that have the power to make the changes you want. Otherwise the effort is pointless from the start.</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />hot jean claude van damme kick. <img src="http://www.filmink.com.au/images/news/1ce2c7546a4b8ac0eab6.jpg" alt="jean claude van damme kick.

You might want to search for it on immigration.com.<br /> <br /> That case had a lot more things in it.<br /> <br /> 1) person never worked at the location as specified by the greencard labor<br /> 2) person acknowledged he wasn't going to work there upon greencard approval<br /> 3) person was claiming ac21 within same employer for different location<br /> <br /> <br /> Administrative appeals office; concurred that ac21 wasn't specific to geographic location and didn't have to be done with another company; it could be done within same company.<br /> <br /> Then AAO went another way and picked on some other issues: Other issues they picked on was information on his g-325a and his work locations. They picked onthat he didn't have h-1b's approved for those particular locations or LCA's and he was out of status. he was good on the ac21 but was out of status prior to filing 485.<br /> <br /> So when they started picking on these other things, do you know what eventually ended up happening - denial/approval?<br /> <br /> I tried looking on immigration.com, a lot of hits came up when i searched for "baltimore AC21" but none of them were this particular case.<br /> <br /> Aren't there many consulting scenarios where the labor is filed in a certain state but the employee (although worked for the same employer) worked in another location on H-1B (with due LCA amendments of course). Is that not acceptable from a GC perspective?<br /> <br /> sorry, I don't mean to drag this topic on forever.<br /> <br /> thanks,</div></div><hr /><br><br><br /><br />tattoo A Jean Claude Van-Damme <img src="http://www.yorkblog.com/mma/jon-fitch-wins.jpg" alt="jean claude van damme kick.

It's nice to imagine/hope that things will change overnight under the dems, but if you really look at their policies, they want to impose more taxes on the businesses (and also you), which will impact their bottomline, and will lead to a recruitment freeze, or even moving their business to a different country. and if you think our hard earned tax dollars are spent wastefully now, wait till you see how a dem admin is going to spend our money. they'll lead the country into deeper recession, and we can then kiss goodbye to our gc dreams.<br /> I know the prospect of a charismatic guy in obama getting elected is very enticing, but the prospect of the dems controlling the house, senate, and the presidency will be a disaster never seen before. we'll see them lead US to a more socialistic country. what has made this country great is the prospect of getting limitless reward if you are hardworking, and innovative. but the dems concept is limiting reward to a set level, and distributing wealth to the less fortunate (i.e. lazy people). this was what happened to the socialistic and communist countries (dying economies, and poverty).<br /> but our immediate concern is getting gc, and I really fear the prospect of dems controlling all branches of govt will def kill our dreams.<br /> <br /> hmm.<br /> needless war is strong on security<br /> 9/11 happened on bush's watch and it is clinton's fault.<br /> <br /> Republican philosopy of less regulation is not the cause of reckless lending?<br /> You will get more tax break under Obama's plan than McCain's.
