I think upbring kids in india is not a bad idea...things are changing very much in india...Its educated people like us change educational & cultural system in india...
Now the biggest question is when you want to move. I personally think that kids are more adaptable when they are very small...

Rising Above "The Gathering Storm" (http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_development/previous_issues/articles/2007_12_14/caredit_a0700179) By Beryl Lieff Benderly | Science, 14 Dec 2007
In the past few years, reports by several prestigious bodies have warned that an impending shortage of scientists, engineers, and technical personnel at least partly caused by inadequate K-12 science education threatens the nation�s long-standing scientific leadership in an increasingly competitive, globalized world. With American prosperity dependent on innovation, the studies warn, the nation�s economic future is at risk.
The U.S. National Academies published the most influential of these documents, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11463), to considerable fanfare in 2005. It called for more undergraduate and graduate science scholarships, new programs to train science teachers, more research funding, and more foreign scientists to be admitted to this country. Earlier this year, Congress enacted the first three recommendations in the America COMPETES Act (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN00761:@@@D&summ2=m&).
Now, however, a new study and related congressional testimony call into question this picture of America�s educational system and scientific work force. Into the Eye of the Storm: Assessing the Evidence on Science and Engineering Education, Quality, and Workforce Demand (http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/411562_Salzman_Science.pdf), released in October by the Urban Institute (http://www.urban.org/) (UI), a policy-research organization in Washington, D.C., retains the U.S. National Academy of Sciences� report's meteorological metaphor but rejects its analysis and conclusions. "The education system produces qualified graduates far in excess of demand. � Workforce development and education policy requires a more thorough analysis than appears to be guiding current policy reports," Eye of the Storm states.
No disadvantage for the United States
"U.S. schools show steady improvement in math and science, the U.S. is not at any particular disadvantage compared to most nations, and the supply of S&E [science and engineering] graduates is large and ranks among the best internationally," continues Eye, which was co-authored by two labor force experts, B. Lindsay Lowell, director of Policy Studies for the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and Harold Salzman of UI�s Center on Labor, Human Services, and Population.
Nor do today�s young Americans show less interest in science than previous generations, according to Eye of the Storm. "The proportion of all bachelor�s degrees awarded in S&E has been relatively stable over time, as has the proportion of freshmen in an S&E major," the report states. About three times as many Americans hold scientific degrees as work in scientific jobs. Science education does need improvement, Eye argues, but of a different form from that suggested in Gathering Storm.
Based on these findings, any shortage in America�s scientific labor market is "most likely a demand-side problem of STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] career opportunities that are less attractive than career opportunities in other fields" rather than a supply-side problem of too few Americans with scientific training, asserted Salzman in congressional testimony (http://science.house.gov/publications/hearings_markups_details.aspx?NewsID=2032) presented on 6 November before the House Committee on Science and Technology�s Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation. "The standard education measures indicate there are enough students with requisite skills to succeed in science and engineering courses of study, and managers we have interviewed rarely if ever note a lack of technical skills among their STEM workers," he continued.
On the contrary, Eye of the Storm states that "a weakening demand, a comparative decline in S&E wages, and market signals to students about low relative wages in S&E occupations" are discouraging able Americans from pursing scientific and technical careers. Rather than indicating a dearth of scientists, "research finds that the real wages in S&E occupations declined over the past two decades"--the opposite of what one would expect during a labor shortage.
Contrary to reported decline, both the number and the level of achievement of American high school science students have risen in recent decades, Eye continues. High schoolers on average now take a year more of both science and math than they did in the 1980s, and the number of students taking algebra by eighth grade has markedly increased. America�s apparently mediocre national averages on international tests reflect not uniformly poor performance, Eye argues, but rather the enormous diversity of our school population, which exceeds that of nearly every other competing country.
Close analysis of test results reveals that "the majority of U.S. students (white students) actually rank near the very top on international tests." Social and economic inequality, not just formal instruction, strongly affects test scores, and "achievement is known to vary significantly by socioeconomic class and race." Educational improvement efforts, Eye concludes, should focus not on correcting a nonexistent overall deficit but on improving the academic performance of the students "in the lower portion of the performance distribution," many of whom face social and familial challenges that interfere with their education.
"Largely inconsistent with the facts"
Gathering Storm�s image of mediocrity and shortage has become the "conventional portrait" of American scientific education and labor power that dominates media and political discussions, in the words of Michael Teitelbaum of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in New York, New York, another witness at the 6 November hearing. That picture, however, is "largely inconsistent with the facts," he testified. Labor market data are "suggestive of surpluses" of scientists, with only "isolated shortages of skilled people in narrow fields or in specific technologies." In reality, "substantially more scientists and engineers graduate from U.S. universities than can find attractive career openings in the U.S. work force [and] the postdoc population, which has grown very rapidly in U.S. universities and is recruited increasingly from abroad, looks more like a pool of low-cost research lab workers with limited career prospects than a high-quality training program for soon-to-be academic researchers," he continued.
Eye of the Storm is hardly the first study to note such inconsistencies. "There are many researchers and organizations that have developed this set of understandings of what is actually happening--for example, leading researchers at the Rand Corporation, Harvard University, National Bureau of Economic Research, � Georgia State University, Stanford University," and others, Teitelbaum told the congressional committee. Even as major media figures such as New York Times columnist and megaselling "flat-world" guru Thomas Friedman were trumpeting Gathering Storm's conclusions, experts in labor-power economics and research administration were voicing less publicized doubts about any purported dearth of well-trained U.S. science graduates.
In 2005, for example--the same year that Gathering Storm was published--the National Academies also published Bridges to Independence: Fostering the Independence of New Investigators in Biomedical Research (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11249), which received far less publicity. Produced by a committee of bioscience researchers chaired by Nobel laureate Thomas Cech, president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland, it bemoaned the damage done to the vitality of American science by the growing glut of young bioscience Ph.D.s.
Gathering Storm's argument is "influential because it is a point of view held and put forward strongly by very visible and reputable people and organizations," Teitelbaum tells Science Careers in an interview. The committee that produced Gathering Storm was chaired by Norman Augustine, retired chair and chief executive of Lockheed Martin Corp. and a member of numerous illustrious boards and advisory bodies, and included Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg; executives of research-intensive corporations such as Intel, Eli Lilly, and DuPont; the director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; and presidents of Texas A&M, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Yale University, the University of Maryland, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Gathering Storm's supporters "believe what they say, and they say it frequently and strongly and with conviction," Teitelbaum continues. "The people who say other than this are relatively less well-organized."
The existence of two conflicting narratives about America�s education and scientific labor market, each put forward by prominent and respected scientific figures, reveals a deep discontinuity in perceptions of what is going on in science. The discrepancy, some observers suggest, reveals less about the data points cited on the two sides of the debate than it does about the points of view of those doing the analysis.

Hi all,
DO you think I can get a waiver for my spouse chest xray (in pregnancy).
She came postive in the skin test. I just want to avoid the xray at this moment.
How does USCIS takes it. Can it be done after the delivery (october 07) ? She is the principle applicant (her PD is better than mine). Do you see any issues with EADs APs.
Pls suggest,
Thanks a bunch in adv

Although the President and the Dems said immediately after the elections that the immigration issue is one on which they see eye to eye, everyone has been quiet lately with regards to immigration. Things better happen in the lame duck session. The industry is also waiting for action in the lame duck session. If it doesn't see that, it is going to do some massive outsourcing. So let's hope something happens in the lame duck session.
BTW, those in NY please please send a PM to bottlemani. Guys if we don't do something now, we may have to wait until 2008. We can't expect the core team of IV to do everything. We should ourselves attempt to go and meet lawmakers in person. This, I mean actually showing up in lawmakers' offices, will make a big difference to the core team's efforts.
I agree. I have written letters, emails and faxed letters all federal lawmakers in both NJ and MA. I have received resposes from all of them. Don't be shy to speak out. Don't hesitate your voice not be strong. My opinion is "better than nothing".

I remember he mentioned on his show that the government could not even issue passports timely to the citizens. Maybe he would be interested in knowing how those agencies screwed everything up for the legal immigrants. Have you thought about that? If he could mention the whole chaos on his show, I am sure a lot of people will have a better understanding about the difficult situations we are facing. That would be great. :cool:
I don't think CLARK would be interested in our issue, he is more of a $$ guy and a good consumer advocate. I am not sure of his views on immigration. US passports is a different issue.
I think we should seriously consider sending thousands of letters to The President and to the Secretary of State - Condi.. Imagine 100s of thousands of letters filling their mail boxes with the same message to them.

I have actually been here since 1999 also. Anyway I think we all here mostly want the visa numbers increased one way or the others. Few of us here care what happens to the H1b quota. Clearly the H1b visa issue is more radioactive than the visa numbers issue. However our lobby is small compared to the big players in this ie Tech/Healthcare Industry on one side and Anti Immigrant groups on the other. If I had to throw my weight into one corner, I feel we are likely to get more comfort from the former than the latter. The latter would screw us no matter what!
Of course educating the lawmakers about our plight and gaining their sympathy so that our issue is addressed whichever way the winds blow is great and for which reason Shilpa and IV's involvement is such a godsend for us.
The industrial lobby is very strong, and it would be foolish to underestimate them. All I was saying is that it is possible for the non-industrial lobby (e.g., AILA and IV) to get laws passed. That has happened before, and that is our only hope here. The tech industry lobby will try to get more H1Bs, and probably forget about us.
Gotta go!

My being on H1 has nothing to do with you tryin to bring a Nanny, I am not on a Nanny visa or am I? Can i be your nanny at $65 an hour? jeez.
If you are trying to bring a Nanny to pay her $1000 a month plus airfare and 6 months of vacation and admit her to a local college for education and groundwork with your lawyer to complete the process, go ahead and do it.
I would still say it would be illegal. or you can try to ger borderline legal.
1) If you want to help that person, sponsor her or her childrens education. You are not helping anyone by sponsoring an underpaid worker. How would you feel, if your employer asks you to work for $20K a year just cos you did not have any other opportunity?
2) Sponsor the kid, do some good work. without exploitation.
3) If you want someone to understand your culture, you belong where your culture belongs, right in the very mother-land where you come from, cultures dont get exported out.
4) What you are tryin to do is illegal too, more illegal than the so called illegal you are talking about.
India is a country of a billion people, and you are trying to tell me the story of a downtrodden or a poor soul. and what are you trying to do to help?
Exploit the situation.
If your kid gets sent back from the day-care bcos he sneezes, hire a nanny.
She will take care of the kid at home, and believe me, nannies do moderate house work too, alojng with taking care of the sneezing kid, also does dishes, does the laundry and stuff.
Let me introduce you to a term called PPP(purchasing power parity) google it and see why you should not expect to earn something and spend something else.
Believe me, many of us are in the same situation as you are and everyone of us know of some poor person in india who is deperately in need. And we want a solution too, but the one you want, is wrong..
Reddog, you should consider writing as a career :D. Good prose.

When you call the doctors office to get an immigration physical appointment make sure you ask the following.
1. Check the fee. If their fee is very less then ask them and make sure the fee includes
All shots (MMR, Vericella, Tetanus) + skin test + chest x-ray + blood work and paper work

Don�t be so happy on that. The reasons behind that is to make sure that plenty of people filed in next couple of months and retrogressed again in the following months so that all people get stuck at their EAD and AP. Don�t you know that EAD & AP are issue in yearly basis, with the fee increase, that�s how they make money. The advantage of this is all the spouses can work and kids will get in state tuition fee, but the wait time for getting your GC will be indefinitely. Be happy and joy whatever you want now, but don�t cry and complaint later saying I have been stuck in EAD & AD for more than 5 years, and remember if your EAD renewal is pending and the current EAD is expired, you are out of status and out of luck.
Another reasons on that is to ease the anger of legal immigrant, look now, everyone is so happy and forgot in last couple of months everyone is bitching about the right of legal immigrant getting the GC. I bet you, with the July bulletin, that will silent most of the selfish people like you and me on the legal immigrant issue.
Cheer

Friends,
What was feared has come true. MI SOS (DMV) has passed the rule denying DLs to newer applicants on Temporary visas. Rules are yet to be made for renewals. But based on statements by SOS Terri Ann Lynd, I wouldn't be surprised if Temporary visa holders are denied DLs too ( since the rule will be based on interpretation of MI law by State Attorney General which says that only permanent residents can be given DL in Michigan)

Ms. Lynd hopes temporary visa holders can drive using home country licences. She doesn't understand that Indians need IDLs too, which they can get only in their home country. She doesn't understand that many may not have DLs in their home countries (esp. Indians who came here as students) . I'm not surprised if mine has expired by now! For getting IDL we need to go back to our home country and get it from there. This is the gift by State of Michigan to immigrants on the occassion of day to remember the greatest humanitarian of our times - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Land already has been working to enhance driver's license security. In December 2007 she proposed the creation of an upgraded "standard" driver's license and an optional "enhanced" version that can be used in place of a passport at the Canadian border. The plan is being considered by the Legislature.
Her proposal would change the law to allow residents who are in the U.S. legally but temporarily to apply for an upgraded standard license.
"Michigan has many outstanding residents who contribute greatly to our economy and society even though they're here on a temporary basis," Land said. "Businesses rely on these talented individuals as well. Under the attorney general's opinion, those who are in the country legally but on temporary student or work visas are ineligible for a Michigan license, though most still can drive using the license of their home country. We need to reconsider that aspect of the law to avoid unintended consequences for individuals or job providers. I encourage citizens to voice their support for our proposal and contact their legislators."
And btw, her name is Terri Lynn Land ;)

1)People who want to participate will participate and don�t need this post.
Thanks to such people, there is at least a glimmer of hope of fixing our issues. If only others can shed their ignorance and join this group, we will get our fix very soon.
And this post was not aimed at these folks.
2)People who don�t want to participate will have 50 other reasons not to participate and will look at this and say WTF Cleopatra could only think of 5.
Just 50? Come on, I am sure they can come up with more if they think along the lines of - "sun rises in the east" to "its cold in winter" :).
I just don't understand this. You can come up with different reasons for not participating, but are you going to get your GC sooner by choosing to not participate?
The equation is simple. You participate, you get a fix to your problems. You don't participate, you stay in this limbo or the situation gets worse due to anti-immigrant provisions that are sure to be introduced.
You have been quiet and did not participate for so long. Are you moving closer to your GC or to any fix? What makes you think that by continuing to do the same, all your problems will be fixed?
As they say, "Squeaky wheel gets the attention and the oil". Make noise through advocacy or perish in this limbo. Your choice.

3)People who may participate, may like to do that but with people who don�t lecture, even though it makes sense to participate with annoying people who share the common cause.
Sorry nothing constructive here.
If this is the case, I urge you to participate regardless of anyone you feel as annoying. As mentioned above, it does make sense to participate with annoying people who share the common cause to get a fix to your problems. Remember, you are not participating for the benefit of the annoying people. It is not a favor you are doing anyone. If you are in this limbo, you are helping yourself and your family by participating and you are hurting yourself and your family by not participating.
@another one:
All the above comments were not aimed at you. I use "You" to address people who might be thinking those same things and so this is not specifically addressed at you. Thanks for your comments and response to this.
You are entitled to your opinion that there is nothing constructive here. I respect that. In the same vein, I would request you to respect my opinion too.
Also if you note, this is meant to be a satire of what members usually do and not do to fix their issues. I am sure no one 'enjoys' being in limbo :).
(P.S. if anyone reading this actually enjoys being in this limbo, pls. consult your doc :) )
@Everyone else
You participate = You fix the issues.
You don't participate = You stay in limbo and not get any fix.
As simple as that. I am sure everyone who is reading this can participate in at least one of the three ways listed above. Please do. Help yourself and your family.

Do any of you remember Dan Siciliano of Stanford, Friedman of Harvard (I may be wrong about the affiliation) and another professor from Iowa talk at a Senate hearing. These are people with much better credentials than Matloff. The question here is how important is Matloff. Who listens to him. Has he ever been called for a hearing? I doubt it. He is just an obscure computer science professor at UC Davis. What are his credentials and why would somebody listen to him in exclusion to the economics and law professors who have much better credentials and expertise on the issue than him. Wouldn't it be a better idea to talk to the professors who were at the hearing and see if we can get them to write for us. Could we not use our media contacts and ask them to talk to one of the acknowledged experts. Can we not align ourselves with them. Are we not giving too much importance to Matloff. Also why does Matloff stand alone by himself. Why is there no other professor who is quoted by numbersusa. Isn't it obvious that Matloff is a nobody and talking to him gives him way more importance than is due?

Before making comments about wam4wam, I think it will be prudent to check the information available.
Also, after all this, you go on to say that you are aware of all the amendments! See below.
That beats everything!
Also, what is all this fuss about? I didn't log in for a day, and I see a long thread with everyone apparently excited about nothing! The thread was started by this same individual.
If money is needed, say so; there is no need to raise false hopes.
Beginning to smell a rat.

All- I am not a witness (like some of the other IV members like waldenpond) to the intense activity happening on the Hill and me speaking from 2600 miles away from there would make little sense but must I say that the strategy of the respsective parties on the hill changes every minute. At one time, you get the feel that your provision is in a bill or an amendment and the opposite party takes some steps to add their own agenda and the very next hour the whole scope of the effort for the party tabling the bill changes. IV has been very forthcoming in keeping the members tuned in with the progerss but please understand that this is a very very fluid situation which not in control of even the majority party on the floor. It might happen that our hopes get raised and then we see things slipping away.
Not sharing any information on amendments/bills till it is made available to public domain makes us all restless but at the same time , giving indicatication of what might be coming down the line while not being sure if it will materialize raises false hopes leading to disapponitment. There is no right or wrong apprach here but all this tells us of the situation we are facing on this day.
