Its an absurd analogy. If I stress it too much and try to derive some sense out of it, my bar on GMAT prep would actually go down south!

Thank you for contacting me regarding the DREAM Act, which I strongly support. I value your input on this important matter.
We need a tough, smart and comprehensive approach to fix our broken immigration system. We must begin by securing our borders with investments in personnel, infrastructure and technology. We should require the undocumented in this country to register, pay a fine, learn English, and pass criminal background checks before allowing them the opportunity to become citizens.
Our immigration system is broken, and it cannot be fixed by passing one piece of reform, even a good one like the DREAM Act. We should address immigration as a whole, and that is a primary goal of mine here in the Senate.
As you may know, the DREAM Act, or Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act of 2009 (S. 729), introduced by Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, would amend previous legislation to allow states to determine residency for higher education purposes. It also authorizes states to cancel the removal and adjust status of certain alien students who are long-term United States residents who entered the United States as children. However, minor aliens who are eligible must meet the following criteria: entered the United States before his or her 16th birthday and has been present in the United States for at least five years immediately preceding enactment of this Act; is a person of good moral character; is not inadmissible or deportable under specified grounds of the Immigration and Nationality Act; at the time of application, has been admitted to an institution of higher education or has earned a high school or equivalent diploma; from the age of 16 and older, has never been under a final order of exclusion, deportation, or removal; and was under age 35 on the date of this Act's enactment.
Currently, the DREAM Act is under consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee. While I am not a member of this committee, I will keep your concerns in mind if this issue is brought before the full Senate for consideration.
For more information about my priorities as a U.S. Senator, I invite you to visit my website at Michael Bennet - United States Senator for Colorado : Home (http://bennet.senate.gov/). Again, thank you for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Michael Bennet
United States Senator

I got following reply from Sen. Franken
Thanks for contacting me about the DREAM Act. I appreciate you sharing your concern with me on this issue.
There are thousands of young people in the United States who have gone to school, done their homework, participated in school activities, received their high school diploma and wish to go to college - but whose parents brought them to this country illegally. These youth face several barriers to a college education. Federal law currently limits states' ability to offer undocumented immigrants in-state tuition, and they are also not eligible for federal student financial aid.
I do not believe that we should punish children for their parents' actions. For many of them, the United States is the only country they consider home. With the chance to attend college, they will be able to fully contribute to our nation's future. The DREAM Act, S. 729, would allow undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and pursue a college education or enlist in our nation's military to apply for conditional permanent resident status.
The DREAM Act, of which I am a cosponsor, is bipartisan legislation narrowly tailored for undocumented students who have lived in the United States since they were children, succeeded in school, and want to be productive members of society. Requirements to be eligible for the DREAM Act include having arrived in the U.S. at age 15 or younger; having graduated high school; having served in the military or attended college for at least two years; and demonstrating good moral character. The DREAM Act is the chance we're giving these young people to earn legal status by working hard to attend and succeed in college.
Again, thank you for contacting me, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Al Franken
United States Senator

:) sure you are otherwise you wouldn't be living here.
I am not againist H4 guys but i can't help but laugh when H4 guys complain that they were being treated bad by not allowing them to work.
One has to understand that US allows ppl on a certain basis and H4 is nothing but to join your spouse (or something like that for kids).
One can request them to make a provision for H4 ppl to work but blaming that they haven't done that simply by fogetting on what basis they entered US.... hmmm i don't know.
Questioning their speed of process and other irregular rules... yes i am with you but blaming them for above ... i don't think that is fair.
I wonder how many who come here on H4 know what complexities lay ahead in the G.C processing. unfortunately it is not easy to undo their marriage and go back.
They need a fair deal too just like the way those in EB-3 are waiting for a proposal that addresses their issues more directly rather than trickle down. I guess u r one of them.
I dont know how much u know about G.C before u came here. I am yet to understand it clearly.

I totally miss your point: why is ending retrogression bad? Because all 800K people might get the GC within 6 months? Whats wrong with that? Its not fair to those who have waited longer than others? Dont be a member of the "just because I suffered I want everyone else to suffer" That makes you no different from that talkshow host (who is now a citizen) on the radio channel recently who said he waited 10 years to get his GC, so everyone else also should, otherwise its not "fair"
Or, are you mixing up ending retrogression with making dates current? No thats not what we want. We want dates made current after the visa supply = demand. Just making all VBs like the July VB is pointless, and does lead to lots of uncertainties. By ending retrogression I mean making sure we have enough visa numbers for all who have been qualified by DOL (LC) and USCIS (I-140), by:
- ending per-country quota
- not counting dependents
- recapturing wasted visa numbers.
I think we are talking about the same thing. If you see my post carefully, I clearly mentioned that I do not support lifting retrogression if the annual quota limit continues. I will be more than happy to see all quotas lifted and everyone gets GCs tomorrow. But I will not be happy if a 2007 person gets the GC tomorrow and I get mine after 5 years. That's exactly what might happen if they keep the quotas but remove retrogression

Hey proud emerican
Last week someone with last name Powell (looked very proud to me) from state deptt was on situation room with Wolf Blitzer. Her office was in charge of increasing the enrollment of internartional students in your contry. She had reduced the time for processing F1 visa to a week. She even went to middle east. Get her deptt closed proudly. This will improve your educational system also.
If you can not stop her, ask her to tell all students that F1 will not be converted to H1B or H1B will not be converted to green card.
This will stop the problem at the root and you can enjoy your wealth proudly.
Why don't posters on this forum move back to their home country and concentrate on making their home country great instead of slamming into someone else's country and just living off the wealth others have created?
The bottom line is that a SKIL act is not needed. Hundreds of thousands of American programmers have lost their job to the third world, both in outsourcing and insourcing of third world programmers who work for cheaper wages. There is absolutely no need for more foreigners here and no need for more green cards. Temporary workers are just that - temporary. If you are on a temporary visa, work your time, make some money for your family and head home when your time is up. Don't cry that we don't provide enough green cards when you knew what kind of visa you were on.

I've started half fantasizing, half planning a better life outside the states. I think of everything in my life that could change for the better: more vacation, more travel, less of the neurotic american fear based mentality, more sun and summer, more time closer to my home country and relatives.
I plan to stay here for the long haul, since I've been with my american life partner for 8 years (no GC for gay couples, though!), own property here, etc. But it helps with alleviating feelings of depression to remind myself that I actually do have options in life, and that I am not just a victim of an unfair immigration system.

I am hoping yours and Vivek.. package was also in the same bundle.
Just curious, what is a front log ??

They tell me to wait for 30 days and sometime 60-90days.
They say you will become actual permanent resident when you get the card The card is important.
You now USCIS don�t know when they will change their minds.
To better be on safe side to get it stamped on my passport. I took info pass on 8-11-08 it will be almost 30 days,
let�s wait and see
approved on 8-12-08
NoWelcome notice Or Card
>> They say you will become actual permanent resident when you get the card
Incorrect. One is permanent resident since the date of I-485 approval. Card is just a physical evidence indicating your status.
**** Not a legal advise. *****

Chandu,
1. "W2 Self-employed" is an oxymoron. Self-employed option is possible through 1099. Nowhere on the Yates memo (or any other USCIS resource) does it say that you have to be on a "permanent" job. You sure can be self-employed (i.e., not on a W2) with AC21 provision, as the Yates memo clearly says.
[Now, you can be self-employed with unlimited liability. If you want to reduce your liability, you can open an LLC, which gives you the freedom of filing your income taxes either as a "Sole Proprietor," a "C-Corp," or an "S-Corp." (Please see IRS website for tax implications, e.g., http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=154770,00.html)]
Also, no employer can give you an EVL saying "permanent" job, nor are you required by USCIS to mention that, nor your salary (unless asked for), nor the date when your job ends. Therefore, your statement that "As long as your self employed as drawing w2 salary and doing the same duties - it is permanent employment" is wrong for two reasons. One, you can't be on W2 AND self-employed for the same job (you can, though, open a part-time business on EAD with same/similar responsibility as your labor cert, and file that income as a "Self-employed," or as a "C-Corp," or as an "S-Corp"). Two, your definition/interpretation of "permanent job" is wrong: No job in this country can be permanent (legally speaking), and I haven't seen *any* job offer letter saying it would be a "permanent" job. Also, being on W2 doesn't imply or guarantee that you're on a "permanent job:" Jobs in most states are "at will."
2. You're *not* required by USCIS to notify them of your job change under AC21 provision. Nor is there anything called "filing AC21."
I agree with you that these two topics need discussion and closure, following which you may want to change your wiki article on "How to File AC21."
sankap - I think these folks are asking you to be cautious. AC21 RFEs request if the prospects of employment.
the "permanant" job means "the job is always there" as per projection.
even if your employer has consulting business - as long as you are employed with this employer under w2 "yours" is a "permanant job" at that time projected - things MAY change later.
The same works with self - employment. As long as your self employed as drawing w2 salary and doing the same duties - it is permanant employment.
So lets not get confused here. If you project that your current job is ONLY temporary in nature then that does not qualify as a permanant job.
Being self employed and doing consulting work means you r constantly doing projects under your own corp which is perm job.
Lets discuss this in detail - i will get back to this as my kid is not allowing me to type now
