One of the primary things that you are missing here is that these competitions are just competitions - meaning - it brings the kids together in a national forum, lets them compete with one another and helps build this competitive spirit - which they may repeatedly in their lifetime.
Being able to participate in a national competition boosts confidence - the sense of competition and wanting to excel is totally a transferable skill - it rekindles the parts in you (or a kid) that they are not aware existed before they competed.
As for whether this is a right forum to post this, I have seen worst things posted here on IV.

I have an nre repatriable demat acct thru icici - it took all of 5 mnths and over 30 calls to cust svc to get the acct opened. The acct was mainly for utilizing the indian stock opts given by employer. You can trade as an NRI but online trading is not available for US residents on nre demat accts - u can however trade thru a broker like sharekhan etc.
All dividends are credited only to your NRE savings a/c - not to regular savings a/c. Any stock sale requires an authorization number which the broker can provide. Taxes on capital gains must be paid only if you sell within a year of purchase - the percentage is the same as for Indian citizens. There is no tax on long term cap gains
Since we do not have any taxable income in India, and many NRIs make charitable contributions regularly, the tax liabilities are usually not very high
Also there is a very informative section on sify.com for NRI taxation. You are not required to file any tax returns if you are in NRI status and are within the exemption limits.
Thanks Ramaonline.
Which broker do you use to do the online trading ?

EAD Renewal's are eligible for premium processing, so if you really need a renewed EAD to change a job, it's almost comes down to paying an extra $1000 to get it within 15 days. As far as a new EAD goes, USCIS will have to process it within 90 days. Now that they have stopped issuing Interim EAD's , if you go to to the USCIS local office after 90 days of filing the initial EAD applications, they are obligated to come back to you with an answer on why your application has still not been adjudicated. If you do a google search on interim EAD termination, you will find a couple of links about some law firms planning a class action lawsuit to dispute this. This is still not an issue because most people get their EAD's within 90 days, but you can almost bet your bottom dollar that there will be a hue and cry( read class action lawsuit ) if the first time EAD's get delayed more than 90 days because of administrative delays for reasons such as backlog.

sounds funny and will make news, but I am not sure it helps in our campaign to get the system fixed.
It would get attention and help in educating (legal vs illegal) and would be done in conjunction with other things like:
-sending more flowers
-a huge rally in Silicon Valley
-candlelight vigil at congress
-mass letter mailings from all of us
-human chains
-hunger strike?
-etc
We have to attack simultaneusly (but SMARTLY) from all angles in order to be effective!

Maybe I am wrong, but isn't the regulation specific to state that required filing fees must be paid by the employer? There may still be attorney fees which may be borne by the employer or the employee.
As regards the 12 month contract, if the contract is written appropriately, it will probably be binding in a court of law. It all depends on how the document is drafted. My employer hires Indians and Americans with 1 to 3 year contracts. The employees who chose to leave before their contract expired did pay back a set fee to my employer. There is nothing illegal about that. But again, it all depends on how the document is drafted.

If there is unity, and all of us walk out with all our money, this would definitely get the attention of the lawmakers.
I suggested the same action last year. Right now, waiting for 485 (EB 2 LC took close to 6 years) - but I feel if 20-30K of us left (and take our money with us too, don't leave it here to work for this country) because we are being screwed by the stupid immigration laws, that will have a bigger impact in changing the laws than any lobbying effort possibly would.

Chill out my desi brethren!!!
In what way did "buddyinsfo" dis India and Indian Muslims? What he said is absolutely right. Its not like ARR had not made good scores before. I mean just listen to his flute composition in the movie Roja, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
I have read your posts and about 10% of it is usually TOTAL BS. Please go and visit the thread about "ethnic cleansing", there is an answer and a question from me waiting for you.
Let me guess, you are a pakistani terrorist. Now you are jealous that how come an Indian muslim win 2 oscars? How will you give out your hateful message to other pakistanis terrorists that indian muslims are being torchured, so you have to "save" indian muslims. Too bad, no pakistani got an oscar. I know why, because the terror capital of the world is going down the drain pretty fast.

If my priority date is retrogressed at the time of processing my EAD and AP, will USCIS keep the EAD and AP on hold? Or will they process EAD and AP and hold the I485?
Yes, EAD and AP are issued and renewed as long as I-485 application is pending. It does NOT matter if the PD is retrogressed.

IV encourages members from every state to participate in the advocacy days - meeting with the legislators on both the Senate and House side on June 7th and 8th; with the training being on June 6th.
It is also possible for members who are unable to make it to DC on those days to still be a part of the effort. Please pledge your support by donating for air tickets or hotel stay. Few members have offered their miles to be used for air tickets, and many of our VA, DC, MD members have opened up their homes for out of town IV members. We need more offers to cover all the costs.
Some members are also driving from OH, PA, NJ, NY, NC.... If you could also post on this thread, we can get members to carpool and thereby share costs.
Please make your pledges known either to your state chapter leaders or on this thread, and we will be contacting you on your offers.
Lets make this a successful effort on all fronts.

if we go to canada to get H4 stamping will they ask for her pay stubs or just my pay stubs are enough.
H4 is a dependent visa and there is NO legal employment allowed on H4 status.
Is there any chance of rejection. also can I go to canada for stamping or do i have to go to home country.
if wife's stay in US has been legal and she has been in status then there should be no worries. For H4 make sure you carry all the H1 documents as well.
is there any site or posting that explains the process of applying for H4 in canada.
check websites for US consulate in canada where you want to go for stamping. They will list all documents required.

The best thing about PA is through online.
Visit the below link
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/driverLicensePhotoIDCenter/renewNonCommercials.shtml
and click on renew online. Here you have to enter your details and pay through credit card. You will receive the confirmation letter (DL60A/DL60R) through regular mail with in 10 days. Take the letter and go to the DMV for photograph.
The photograph folks don't ask any immigration documents, just the SSN original card. That's it.
I'm in the same boat. PA DoT wants to see visa stamp on the passport.. applied for 1st 3 year extn at VSC on 7/10, will up it to PP this week... anyone in PA got their DL renewed using RN... please specify how and where??

Please tell us when you applied , and NSC or TSC , EB3 or EB2, etc..so we will get some idea? thanks..
I recently applied for my renewal (AP & EAD) - got my AP approved in less than 3 weeks (which is good processing time).
Validity was for one year, only and from the date the previous AP expired.
EAD - Still waiting - it's 47th day, today and counting. Hopefully before I hit the 60 day mark...that seems to be the processing time, these days.

After nearly 15 months, going by recent postings here , I was tempted to call IO to get any update on my 'pending I-485' . I happened to talk to a nice IO on my first attempt. She took some time to check on status and told me my 'name check is pending'. I told her on previous occasions / Infopass I was all the time told 'everything for me, especially name check is cleared'. She came out with an explanation---- your 2nd FP was cleared on 17 July 09 (Yes, I had 2nd FP on 7/6/09 as Ist FP in Sept 07 'expired' after 15 Mo validity) and that is why new 'name check' is initiated.
I can not believe this. If this is so, they may have to wait for 180 days even if there is nothing adverse from fbi and the dates become current.
It is very creepy.....
Please, share your thoughts if uscis require NC again and again for this never ending GC process ..
I called them several times yesterday until I was able to get hold of a good rep. Most of these reps are rude and they dont even care to listen to what I was asking.
The "good" rep told me that my case has been pre-adjudicated in the month of April and everything is all set and that they are waiting for the visa number. He said I might be getting another FP if it takes too long, but other than that everything is set. He did provide me quite a bit of information about my case, he told me that my name check and also background verification is also complete. He was even able to tell me how many EADs and APs have been issued to me against my 485. Hope this helps.

both seem to be happening at the same time.
The dollar has fallen in comparison to other currencies such as the Pound/Yen/Euro mainly because of some poor economic indicators and worries about another recession etc. At the same time the Indian economy has been growing at breakneck speed causing rupee appreciation. I think both of these things will continue for a while with the Rupee hitting atleast 38 against the dollar.
This is mixed news for the economy I guess. IT outsourcing will hurt since its now more expensive for US customers, but on the other hand things like importing oil are easier for India.
To all those who think India will only do backoffice stuff, I think the next 3-5 years will bring about a sea change in this. Good work has been moved to India, and people are motivated to innovate and do new things. Things have always been more competitive in India (think IIT-JEE exams!!) and it does not take long for some of these folks to realize that they can start their own companies and come out with their own products. The market in India is also maturing to the point where it becomes a substantial consumer of hi-tech products. recent articles about the use of RFID and WiMax point to this. Also, VC interest has always been high in India, all the ingredients for a flood of startups are there, if only IISc in bangalore starts to incubate projects the way Stanford does here in the valley.
