Yes the initial reason for denial is bogus, but they may still deny it because of "too restrictive requirements"[/QUOTE]
What do you mean by "too restrictive requirements"?? so do you think I will be better off finding another job with a different company so I can apply for a new PERM (EB2) or just wait for the appeal that is now over 6 months??
Also, I know that the reviewing officer is supposed to review my appeal request and send a copy to the appeal board so they can make a decision but he/she has not done that because I convinced the HR in my company to call the board of appeal and they said they haven't received my appeal request from the reviewing officer ( he was supposed to send it within 30 days). he has had my appeal request for over 6 months. I am not sure what to do at this stage. I feel like I am stuck.

I've been having similar thoughts for quite some time. Whether I should move back to india which is a one way street or continue here waiting to get my GC, citizenship etc.
Here is my analysis of the situation without considering the emotional parameters involved
1) India is currently on a fast track to development thanks for the IT industry. There are a lot of jobs and salaries are sky rocketting. A lot of people in India are living a life in India which we can only dream of here in the US.
2) BUT I also read about the growing cost of conducting business in India. Definitely with salaries increasing by leaps and bounds, rupee appreciating against the dollar, high taxes and infrastucture cost has already got companies thinking about their businesses in India.
3) Many are thinking of moving to southeast asian countries like Singapore, malaysia, phillipines, even China.
4) Even if they dont move out I am not sure if the current trend in salaries will continue. It will definitely correct itself in next 3-4 years. Companies would tend to hire more fresh graduates than hiring experienced personnel.
4) I am not sure with all these developments how would things be in India in next few years. If I move to india and then have to move to these south east asian countries then why not be in US and ride out this turbulent period.
but then if you include the emotional factors in this equation it totally changes everything.
As of now at least I am confused about what to do but I guess every first generation that moves out of their home town has to go through the same thought process, only the immigration to US is complicating things further.
What will happen next is something for time to tell...!!
Good luck to all of us and may god help us all to make correct decisions.

I agree with you. Next week we will see the bulletin and then some people will be elated if their predictions come right and some will be disapointed. Again in 20 days we will start a new thread for Oct bulletin and FY 2010. I guess it is just that we are keeping alive our hopes.

Guys,
First of all, please be decent to each other. Now, to the PBEC issue - this is a major problem, and a huge issue for all of us. Currently, the debate in Senate/Congress is centered around Immigration reform and this is a definitely a good time to raise these issues.
There are a few things we should strive for:
1. Keep all provisions of Specter's bill related to EB.
2. Re-instate per country soft limit.
If both of these provisions are passed, Priority dates for all countries will be current in EB2 and will rapidly move in EB3. A lot of folks in PBEC might be able to use PERM to apply another labor and priority dates will loose their importance, so it is important that these provisions pass.
This is just the kind of disingenuous logic we do not want. To suggest that folks stuck at PBEC should just file PERM is (a) just like asking people to drink coke instead of tackling water scarcity (b) reflective of the ignorance of the situation faced by many stuck at PBEC.
Note that IV has a stated goal of solving the BEC issue (6th listed goal on the homepage). The goal is not to make light of the BEC problem by using apparently simple but false logic; the goal is to resolve the BEC mess.
Do not try to play down what is important to others and hijack the agenda to suit your problems. We have all come together behind each of the stated goals of IV. Let's keep it that way.

Based on what exactly ??
Nobody here even comes close in identifying which are the eligibility criteria. Everybody hopes for one or the other.
Meanwhile one thing is for sure:
Every application filed after July 2nd, is filed AFTER they closed the doors oficially! How are we in the same class as the people from July 2nd ??? Just because we prepared for filing ??? Isn't that a bit weak in the eyes of the law ?
Just talked to my lawyer..he said even if we win the case...eligibility is based on the court order...court order may allow every one or only limited people who are in the class action...and in murthy.com they clearly mentioned that, USCIS MAY look at the apllications very closely who are in the class action....who wants that..
Send flowers on JULY 10TH....the count is reaching 100.
just my 2 cents...

Employment Based (EB) Green Card (GC) Laws
The yearly GC quota is 140K. This includes GC for spouse and children. On an average, GCs are given to ~60K families.
Each country is allotted 7% (of 140K) GCs (equally distributed among EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3). Each country gets 9800 GCs (~4K families) + unused GCs (in the last quarter) from other countries, if any.
GCs unused in a year can not be reused in following years. There were 376, 345 unused GCs from 1992-2005 (page 34); 50K were recaptured for Schedule A from 01-04 and 107, 586 were recaptured for family based.
The Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Ombudsman Annual Report 2007 (http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual_Report_2007.pdf) estimates (page 35) the submission of 500K-750K (yes 500K+) AOS applications between June 1 and August 17 2007.
There were ~1M pending AOS applications as of March’07. (pages 11 and 14 of Ombudsman's report)
USCIS can not determine the exact number of pending applications and a breakdown of pending applications by number of months pending and application type. Further, USCIS is not making any effort to determine these numbers. (page 13 of Ombudsman's report)
Administrative Delays
USCIS is 90% funded by application fees and is short of resources.
So far EAD renewal has been taking ?? months. With the additional applications it will take ?? months and we will have to apply for renewal after ?? months.
FBI name checks may be the single biggest obstacle to the timely and efficient delivery of immigration benefits. (page 37 of Ombudsman's report)
As of May 2007, USCIS had 329,160 pending name check cases, with approximately 64 percent (211,341) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year. (page 37 of Ombudsman's report)
The backlog appears likely to get worse, because the August USCIS fee increase has prompted a 50 percent rise in new naturalization applications so far this year.(Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))
USCIS has limited capability to produce reports detailing the status of long-pending name check cases. In addition, USCIS systems do not automatically indicate when a delayed name check is complete and the case can be adjudicated. Often, this leads to a situation where the validity of other checks expire before USCIS reviews the case. Those other checks then need to be reinitiated, adding financial and time costs for applicants and USCIS. (page 43 of Ombudsman's report)
Since 2001 FBI has intensified the scrutiny of immigrants with high-technology backgrounds. (Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))
What does it mean?
There will be 1.4M+ AOS applications by Aug 17 which will take 1.4M/140K = 10+ years. Thus, priority dates will remain retrogressed for several years.
Those who could not file AOS will wait for several years.
EAD/AP is valid for 1 year: long cycle of EAD/AP renewals.
If your EAD is not renewed in time, you will have to stop working,
Several employers (and rightly so) view EAD as a temporary permit and are reluctant to hire you.
You need to be in the same position with same job responsibilities for an indefinite time period otherwise your GC application will be rejected.
If you were unmarried at the time of filing, you will need to continue on current status (e.g. H-1B) otherwise you cannot bring your spouse.
Executive and Legislative Efforts
The only solution is to change laws to increase EB GC numbers.
EB Immigration reform does not have enough support in Congress (failure of SKILL, STEM, ...). As a matter of fact, it does not even get enough support to make it debatable, let alone final voting.

Always ahead of others (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12135).
IV grassroot effort (flower campaign (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=106384&postcount=683) + San Jose Rally (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=114554&postcount=738)) was an important reason for retraction of July Visa Bulletin.

I guess our members need some education about different things like how the senate functions, voting system, & etc. Read more guys before commenting and bashing the politicians.
There is a lot of information related to legislation, and political matters posted by one of our members, Macaca.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3317
That will save a lot of time for you and the other members.
BTW, this amendment was not ignored by IV. There was post on 7/18 alerting about this (the voting was 7/19).
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10537
If my guess is right, currently IV core is busy working on something bigger than this that they cannot disclose at this point.
So, to support the core, contribute as much as you can now, and in future. Once you get the EAD, after receiving the GC also.

FYI majority of Desi companies follow the rules as stipulated by US laws. There definitely are abuses in any law. Do you think all wallstreet firms played by rules in this financial mess.
If there are abuses that should be enforced. No doubt about it.
Please stop generalizing from these incidents. There are good majority of IV folks who work for good consulting companies.
If you don't want IV to be reduced to an organization of couple of hundred members, please stop generalizing. After all that is what anti-immigrants are doing.
Don't kill IV with your immature perspective.
Dude, just because you don't see the word "some" in my post, don't tell me that i am generalizing.
I do make a clear distinction between good players and bad apples. If you cannot understand, let me know I will put it in simple words!!! Doh!!!

I recently got an RFE to prove that my Master's degree is a three year course (and not a two year program) because the degree and the combined three year transcript don�t specifically state that it was a three year program.
I have three year of Bachelor�s (BSc) and three year of Master�s (MCA) education, which was used to qualify for EB-2. I also have more than 10 years of experience in a related field.
Unfortunately, I only have a combined three year transcript with a list of all the courses completed as part of program (Year 01, 02 and 03) and not three separate transcripts for each year of the program.
I also have an education evaluation to prove that it is equivalent to MS in USA, which was submitted with the original application.
I recently obtained a letter from the University stating that it was three year degree program with year of joining and completing the exam but my attorney strongly recommends on getting transcripts for all the years individually, which may not be feasible to obtain in a timely manner. She is not willing to do a fresh education evaluation and to respond the RFE without transcripts of each session/year.
I know lot of my friends have successfully got their I-140 approved with a combined three year transcript from same University.
What are my options? I need a second opinion and a possible representation, if required.
RFE has to be responded by March 22, 2011

Guys,
I think we are getting sidetracked here. I think the question for most people who have spend over 6 years in US is that:
1. Education is very different in US/canada compared to India/Asia. Its geared towards creativity as opposed to rote learning. It will take a lot of time to adpat to that system.
2. The competition is definitely way tougher in India/Asia.
3. An average kid has better chances at a financially successful life in canada than in India/Asia.
Coming to the question of ourselves as adults finding jobs in canada ...
I think its definitely going to be easier to find jobs in Bangalore than in Toronto. Offcourse, comparing canadian market to US is pointless. We know US market is way better. Then again we are just talking software jobs. If you keep your mind open to any type of management position or business opportunity I think you will have better opportunity in Canada than elsewhere in India.
Does anyone know of any discussion forums of software guys who have moved from US to canada?

I am sorry but I disagree with the "best among the best" comment. To equate success in the IIT entrance exam to being the best is a mistake. Success in the entrance exams to those Insititutions comes from focus and hard work. This does not necessarily mean that the people who go there are the best. They ARE definitely the best at preparing for the exam.
I think we are getting sidetracked here. I think the question for most people who have spend over 6 years in US is that:
1. Education is very different in US/canada compared to India/Asia. Its geared towards creativity as opposed to rote learning. It will take a lot of time to adpat to that system.
2. The competition is definitely way tougher in India/Asia.
