you might get 10-20% extra.
This is good enough as 10-20 % will increase your savings by 30-50 %

I agree, I was so upset when I read it... Thank you Logiclife for bringing that to our notice.
I just wrote an email to the editors with the email address provided by walking_dude. My email says this:
Dear Editor
You mention in an article dated today that "HIGH-TECH EMPLOYERS get lift from House Republican letter to Speaker Pelosi urging passage of immigration bill to help "attract and retain" high-skilled workers". And in the same breath you say that "In a poll 56% of Republicans earning more than $75,000 annually would "strongly" or "partially" agree with candidate who would bar illegal immigrants from path to citizenship." Do you know the difference between highly skilled legal immigrants and illegal immigrants?. Why do you have to imply that all highly skilled are illegal, infact 99.99% of highly skilled workers (Tech workers) came to the USA legally and continue to live legally. They are here at the behest of their employers.
So please correct your article to reflect that.

An Upset highly skilled worker
I don't think they mean to say that High tech workers are illegal. They say that their poll indicates Republican voters who earn more than $75000 would like a candidate who opposes illegal immigration. Atleast, that is the way I read it.
They have to say they oppose illegal immigration because it is the WSJ. Republicans read it and they like bashing the illegals and it increases circulation.

Thanks nrk. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I was current for two months in 2008 but did not get. So hoping for the best this time but again I would not be surprised if I don't get it, especially looking at USCIS/DOS works.

Few months back, 2 DMV officers gave me a tough time in CT. I wrote strong complaint and got a reply that, it will be allright if I go again and I went for the 3rd time and got it without hasstles.
Here is what happened
Dear Mr. XXXXX,
This reply is in response to your email of 5/20/06 in which you
describe
the difficult time you have had in obtaining a CT license. Please be
advised that if the documents are not acceptable when you return you
may
ask the Sergeant or Supervisor to complete a form for 'Review of Non-US
Citizen Documents'. In this process copies of your documents are
forwarded to our Branch Operations Division for further review. You
will
be notified of the outcome by mail.
Thank you for taking the time to write and bringing this matter to our
attention.
Sincerely,
Elaine McDougal, Div. Chief

Subject: Documentation for obtaining a CT drivers license
Respected Commissioner,
Ralph J. Carpenter
DMV, Connecticut State
Greetings,
I hope this email finds you in good health and best of spirits.
I am a new resident to the State of Connecticut. I am on a h1b visa
(Skilled worker visa) and have been in the United States for 6 years.
My
employer is based out of Irving, Texas and I am employed fulltime with
them. My company sends me on work assignments to various clients all
over the United States. I recently started on a work assignment at
Pitney Bowes located in Shelton, CT. All this while when I am in United
States, I have worked in the states of Georgia, New York and Washington
and have obtained drivers licenses from all these states. I have
maintained legal status and always carry my documents whenever I
interact with a govt agency like DMV.
From the time I have started my work assignment in CT, I have
approached the DMV twice. Both the times I was turned back saying that
my documentation is not acceptable.
First experience:
DMV, Bridgeport, CT:
Issuing officer wanted a document from my employer that says that I
am still employed with them and have not switched employers. I asked
the
officer polietly if there is anything she is expecting to see in the
document (in terms of information like kind of work, nature of work,
place of work etc...) and she was very kind in explaining to me that
all
she wanted to know was if I actually work for the employer who holds my
visa. I told her that I will come back again with the letter.
DMV, Hamden, CT:
After obtaining a employment letter from my employer I chose to go
to DMV, Hamden, CT because it is close to my home. The issuing officer
looked at all my documents and then told me the employer letter was
unacceptable because it is generated by a computer. I asked him what
document is he actually looking for. He said he cannot accept a
computer
generated document. I was confused. Then he showed me my employer
letter
and told me he cannot accept it because it is printed from a computer.
I
told him it is generated from the computer so whats wrong with
employment letter generated from a printer connected to a computer. I
understood what he was trying to say. He just had concerns with the
validity of my employment letter.
Nothing wrong in having concerns about validity of employment letters.
He was just not able to express that to me. As I have the habit of
carrying all my documents, I showed all my legal documents like LCA
(that I am working in Shelton, CT) , my h1b documents etc... to make
him
comfortable of the fact that my employment letter is indeed valid. But
at this point he just did not want to listen or see anything instead he
kept arguing that this is CT and rules here are different and he would
not see any documents or papers and he only wants an employer letter.
And I told him that is right in front of his eyes. He says he cannot
accept it because it is a computer generated document.
Then I asked him what he really wants? He argued that he wants an
employer letter that is not a computer generated document but a actual
document. Then his collegue came to his resque and told me that he is
actually looking for a document that explains clearly the reason I am
in
CT and details of my work location from my employer etc... I asked him
to write it down in a piece of paper what he actually wants. His
collegue wrote down in a piece of paper that an employment letter
stating my work location as Shelton, CT is what they are looking for
and
I can get my out of state license transfer once I have that document. I
wanted a official letter from the issuing officer stating what they
really want and they were not willing to give me that. So I asked him
again what he wants next time. He said he wants a letter from my
employer that I am working in Shelton, CT and work details etc....
Dear Sir,
There is a lot of confusion over the issue with actual
documentation required. The best thing to do to check validity of h1b
visa holders is to actually ask for recent paystubs and w2 forms. These
forms have employer names and if any H1b visa holder. If the issuing
officer has concerns with documentation validity of a h1b visa holder,
then the best thing would be to have a employment background check done
or look at paystubs and w2 etc... Or specify what kind of letter they
are looking from an employer so that they can be convinced that the
candidate is a valid visa holder.
Though I will be going back to the DMV sometime next week with letter
they requested for, I felt it is my duty to suggest to DMV a good
source
of validity for h1b visa holders.
Dear Sir, Connecticut is one of the most beautiful states I have ever
lived and I am enjoying my stay in Connecticut. H1b visa holders are
skilled workers and we assimilate into the society while we contribute
what we can and work hard to maintain our status and are on a tough
path
to obtaining permanant residency.
Please treat my suggestion as a welcome suggestion and make it fair to
both the employees of DMV and non citizens as to what they or we can
accept and what not.

true, my green card was filled EB 3 Software Engineer, today I am an architect, jumped 3 level up . I dont know why you can't get promoted.
You can still get promoted while on H1B just don't give up hope. If you're not getting promoted even if you're performing well, then there's something fishy going on with your employer.

Exactly yebo123.
That is what employers want. To hold you till you have no more juice left.
When in your prime you have given all you got for 5-8 years who cares about you after that, not the employers not the system.
It is all part of the plan. When u are on H1, you have to be 200% productive. That benefits the economy. All and sundry here know the game. So they like you to be the way you are for a long long time.
Contribute to Social security with no benefits, pay taxes, buy cars
etc and boost the economy.
After 5-8 years if you still have the energy left to wait, then sure, you stand a chance after perhaps everyone else gets a GC.
"Good morning, Rhodene & Stockton. How may i help you?"
...
"Yes sir, we do trade in the futures market"
...
"Certainly sir, what would you like to put up?"
...
"So you would like to bet your family's future? No problem"
...
"Non-resident alien, 5yrs H1B... ok"
...
"EB-3? Oh, well, yeah ummm. That complicates things a little. Let me check with my supervisor"
...
...
"Hello sir? You see, the problem is your official odds are sitting at 1:12000. We are not authorized to trade at those levels. However, if you will include your pets' future in the deal we can offer you 1:3 odds."
...
"Don't get upset it is a very reasonable offer. How about if I include a jam donut?"
...
"Great. I will have the paperwork out for your signature in the morning. Have a nice day"

Thanks unitednations,
The information was very helpful for me and others as well.
I think my education evaluation and MCA degree doesn't specifically state that my Master's degree was a three year degree course.
I now have a letter from University stating that it was a three year degree course and we are going for a fresh education evaluation.
I think the lessons learned here is to make sure that the degree and/or EE should clearly state the duration of course.
Any other suggestion or past success is highly appreciated.
Also, my RFE respond date is April 22, 2011 and not March 22nd as mentioned in my orginal post.
I also have a 3 year Bachelor's degree (BSc Physics) + 3 Year masters degree (MCA) from India. I would like to get it evaluated. Could you please let me know which education evaluation agency you used?
Is you bachelor and master degree in the same or related discipline? I read somewhere that the bachelors and master's will have to be in the same or related fields for it to be considered equivalent to US Masters degree.

H1b humane-hear my story..it cannot be as inhuman as it can be..(i have written the story in one of the forums before also..)
My PD-Oct 2001..Eb3..My wife RIR-almost making it thru I140when all hell broke loose in our lives...my wife was pregnant and because of stupid gynaecologist..she ended up in hospital with complicated premature preganancy..guess what..as if it was not bad enough..her company got acquired just when she was admitted in hospital...imagine wondering about health insurance when she was kept to bed rest with no mobility allowed..we filed for insurance by mistake..which said that 20% in patient.....we were so shaken that even human resource did not advise us..guess what..baby was born..and it was surmised that baby will have long stay in hosiptal...2-3 months(eventually it was 4 months!)..somwhere around the first month..I realized that her insurance..will rip me off..I called right at the end of the first month..and tried several times to put my wife and baby on my insurance so that i don't end up paying 20%..it was lot of efforts until I found some desi in Blue cross insurance who put the whole family from the first initial month..when normally people get the policy for the following month at that time.
one down --and then another came..my wife was called to her office from hospital saying that..since there was lot of work in her office..she could come for some days..guess what..she went back..thinking..she could finish work and then take extended leave....guess what..she was laid off..and with baby in hospital..and lay off..plus a rush to change her status to H4 visa..imagine the workload.....finally got her status changed..to h4 visa..with GC and labor in trash...
I was so disgusted..that I started writing to Governor Shwarzenegger' office..who put me with Senator Diane Fienstein..and of course labor secretory Chao..after all the correspondings..all I got was my D number listed from Dallas..their sympathies...ALL I WROTE to them..Hey I want to change jobs because in those days I was commuting between LA to San Diego..where my baby was hospitalized...I wanted to be with my baby..and not work..but it was not possible..if I did..then I could get out of status...I even wrote to Department of Homeland security...and got no reply...they don't care..I ahve to be illegal to get sympathies..I guess!
Situation was bad..finally baby was out of hospital and I weathered all with help of Almighty...and now I am so disgusted with system..that I am moving to vancouver...
But I have another pleasant surprise..my boss wants me to work from vancouver and visit office once in a month...I don't know...whether it is possible...stay in vancouver and visit LA for 2 weeks and then go back and still maintain H1 status..
what do you say..after all the stress!

Sorry to hear your situation. There is you and several other members who I have had a chance to speak to, are going through a tough time in life (both on personal and professional fronts) due to not having a greencard. Such experiences are my motivation to work as a volunteer and core member for IV and do something to solve problems faced by several thousands of people like me. IV is currently the only organization in USA working for the cause of legal high skilled immigrants. This IV forum has brought all of us together on one platform where we can share our views and pain. Members have come up with ideas and helped this community in any way they could. Some members decided to join this effort as core members and pledged more time and effort in order to bring relief to all of us. It is not an easy job. There is nobody else to work on the issues we face. You have yourself seen how the govt. and lawmakers responded to you and still did not do anything when you tried yourself as an individual. When we try to raise such issues collectively as IV, lawmakers do hear us. With greater membership numbers and resources we can certainly do much more to influence them and get the laws changed. Members pls. help us increase our membership and funding so that we can all collectively bring about a change and provide relief to everyone in our community. desibechara, If you have decided to move to Canada, good luck to you and your family. Do keep in touch with this forum. Hope we all members of IV can collectively work soon enough to get something done for ourselves to end our miseries.

Members pls. help us increase our membership and funding so that we can all collectively bring about a change and provide relief to everyone in our community. desibechara, If you have decided to move to Canada, good luck to you and your family. Do keep in touch with this forum. Hope we all members of IV can collectively work soon enough to get something done for ourselves to end our miseries.

This is all time low for "Highly Skilled" "Highly talented" "High INCOME" group. For the issue that affects our life the most, we are asking IV core if we could still drop to $10/month or $1/month, realizing well that we are up against well oiled and very well funded machinery of anti-immigrants. WOW!!! Is there a competition going on as to how low this community can go?
This issue affects our personal life, family life, professional life, careers, professional life of our spouses, development of our growing children and still we cannot even come up with $20/month. After reading this, not sure whether at this time I am filled with more shame or is it more anger that is bothering me. Anyways, either of the two are lowest energy levels in human behavior.
The amount of money we contribute is the measure of importance of this issue for us. Is this issue worth $20 or $10 or $1 for us? I guess the answer is NONE. This issue drives our life and we cannot come up with the necessary resources. Shame. We are expecting Amitab and Shahrukh to raise money for us when we do not want to help ourselves. Don't know if we all should cry or laugh at our behavior.

The growing no of posts on this thread seems to indicate this as a bigger problem than was thought of. I guess many people just get in here before the marriage with the plans of settling in career and then get married
But they finally end up to take a decision on choosing one
Green Card ?
or
Spouse ?

navkap, you seem to be glued to this thread as if you are paid employee of RobEnder. You think this useless group of people are more important than the BRAVE men and women who participated in the San Jose rally. I did not see your post on San Jose rally thread, Congratulating the IV members for their success. But you have all the time in the world to sing songs of the greatness of this RobEnder guy. Do us a favor, take this post with you when you logout.

Thanks to members who are offering miles to buy air tickets for others, and for coming forward with donations to cover costs of travel and hotel. And to our DC/VA/MD members for hosting out of town members.
However, we still need more such offers, so please come forward on this thread.
