I have been a trader for thr last 3 years. I am more of a swing trader than a day trader... But I do a lot of day trading too. I believe trading is the only way to make money in the stock market... Everything that the mainstream media tells about long term investing is baloney... Here is an excellent video about market manipulation by Jim Cramer (For the recrd, I hate the guy and he gives very bad advises... but then he just an entertainer):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMShFx5rThI
Chintu has started an excellent topic here... It does require tremendous amount of discipline, patience and hard work and its definitely not for the faint hearted... Chintu is covering lots of things here, but the on;y thing I would like to add is learning about macro economics... that will help you spot major trends in the market... Also, apart from regular stocks there are double and triple long and inverse etfs... For eg FAS and FAZ... These are triple long and short etfs for the financial sector. These are leveraged three times, which means these are on full dose of steroids... If market goes up 10% these go up 30% and vice versa... so you can make or lose a lot of money in a very short time... Happy trading!

We have been advised not to send webfaxes at this time. Things are moving very fast and we are doing this real time as things process with the bills. So at this time phone calls would be the best medium to make our voices heard.
This action item is extremely important.

Waiting is all we have been doing for so many years. I have been living separately from my wife for last 3 years. When I reached out to Pappu on IV, he refused to do anything for me. I am ready to come forward and talk to media but nobody is here to listen.
I am seriously considering some media awakening event these days, it might be suicide or whatever it takes but this DOS stupidity has to stop. Its affecting so many people's life. I agree GC is not a right that we can demand from US government but they can't treat us like this after investing so many productive years for this Economy.
I am also thinking of organizing an event around where I live which would me media spotlight. Legal immigrants like us esepcially EB folks need to be in news by doing something special(organizing a food drive for homeless, offering thrash cleaning in some place around .. etc,summary is volunteer in groups)
BTW no one thinks we are investing time here. We are paid for what we do, the matter ends there.

Are you racist and believe that people of south asian descent are not skilled enough and hence do not deserve to even be on this forum, let alone engage dreams of an American citizenship?
you probably think you are the best and most skilled since you are from Dominican republic, and perhaps will not have to wait for a GC or even citizenship all that long. Look around, open your eyes, there are people from India/China who have been on this rollercoaster since 2001, and deserve a citizenship.
Stop this hatred of Asians or is it Indians??

A note of caution, please just share personal anecdotes. All formal lawmaker meeting minutes need to be forwarded directly to the IV lobby day event coordinators and IV core members only.
Let the people who missed the rally also miss the excellent chance of sharing our strategy and law maker information.
Also be mindful of addressing people by their real names. It is good that you can put names to IV handles but please protect their privacy, unless they themselves are ok sharing their names publically. You can always use PMs.
I hope you all understand.

Dhiren - your baby is a hero before he/she is born - Kudos to your wife for doing the 2 mile walk - I know how it feels to walk with a baby - we are also in the same boat :)
I had been talking to Sivakanth and he told me how yourself, Arun and all your DC gang worked tirelessly
YOU GUYS were EXCELLENT and WONDERFUL
All this shows how much has gone into this rally and planning. This will give a sense of what it takes to achieve something that is phenomenal in nature.
Yes, we can achieve GROUND BREAKING results with folks like you

Actually today I received my CPO e-mail, so I will go down through my list! But anyway,
1. You can contact your local congressman and explain your situation
2. You can visit your local USCIS office through an Infopass appointment
3. You can file an ombudsman form (google it)
Good luck! Opening a SR was really helpful in my case.
Thanks for the info. Can you also tell us how to go through the other steps in your list?
Thanks once again. :)

It is surprising (rather shocking) to see how a discussion on an EB bill (which might never see the light of day anyway) has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant on how IV does not represent EB3.
When I meet with my lawmaker's office (and when I again meet in Feb), I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. It is stupid to convert a chronic issue into a "IV is not trying" debate. As always, we have lots of armchair critics and few grass-roots workers.
If you trust IV Core and its advisory board and believe that they know how politics works better than you and me you are entitled to your opinion and you may be right too. Certainly IV Core knows how political work, there is no denying that but my point of contention is that does what ICV Core believe and are working towards match with what is good for EB3?
And there as the bard would say lies the rub
Now again in response to that you and most of the people would agree that IV Core goals is good for EB3. Now out of all the people who agree how many are EB3 and how many are EB2. Again IV Core would say many EB3 agree with what they do because IV is not about helping anyone, IV is about helping yourselves (EB3 or EB2), and when it comes to the fact of helping ourselves i for one feel that IV core would do better to listen to the EB3 voice out there. Why do i feel EB3 specific voice is not being heard? Well the answer to that is very simple. It is because EB3 as a whole has NOT seen any benefit out of the rule changes which happened till now and any new initiative which gets the support of IV.
As to your statement about below
The idea you preferred has no chance, given the harsh economic situation and anti-immigration sentiment at this time
My commnts to that is that YES it is a harsh economic situation and YES anti immigrants sentiments is on the rise but if i am an an anti immigrant i would oppose immigrants as a whole. I would not oppose EB2 immigrants less because they have MS degrees and i would not oppose EB3 less because they are stuck in the immigration process and harsh economics time is harsh for everyone (EB2 and EB3) and also citizens so the same logic of anti immigranst sentiments would apply
Reagrding your another statement
In this case, EB3 will have to wait forever. Now, which one do you like? I think people should be realistic.
What i like is not what is important. What is important is what is done is the right thing., If it is the question of EB3 waiting fore ever (say 10 years) or EB3 waiting more than forever (say 20 years) i would plum for which ever option gives relief to people (even if it extends my GC wait time) who are of older priority date and who should get relief, not because they have waited for so long but because they waited for so long in the line and followed all the rules and it is just mind blowing that people who have applied for GC in 2008 and 2010 and expecting that they deserve to get GC because they are EB2 and no other reason.
Now to that all EB2 guys will reply back saying Are you nuts, that how the world works, if you want a GC sooner get a US degree or apply in EB2 no one is stopping you and all that kinds of statements. It gets ugly too but what everyone forgets is that it is easier to be sanctimonious and give advise when you are not being effected. When you are at the other end (Remember the bottom of the totem pole) that is when you all these things come back to bite you and you cannot justify what you said earlier.
Think about it illegals want GC for everyone illegal. Legals (including IV Core among others) say we are fighting for all EB and are united but when an EB2 with 2007 priority date gets GC but an EB3 32002 is still waiting all that argument falls by the wayside and there is no unity
Ok if IV Core (And when i say IV Core i mean everyone EB2 and EB3 peiople because IV Core is nothing but the EB applicants themselves) cannot or will not try to work towards fixing the dispension of spillover visas to EB2 and EB3 equally because that is the law and the law cannot change why cannot IV Core try to implement (the keyword here is TRY whether the law pases or not is not the point) the 55 K DV to all retrogressed applicants instead of just US MS applicants. They can try to do that but they are not. So in what way is IV a representative of EB3 apprehensions and issues

I just checked my online status one last time for the day; since the USCIS website was down all day. Usually its the same status but now I saw a LUD in today’s date. I checked the case status and both me and my wife have the Card Production Status:D
No emails or text just the update. Called the phone number and got the same message that the card has been ordered.
Its been a very long journey very similar to many here. Its been almost 11 years to a month since we came to this country and had to go through 2 applications to finally reach here. Sacrificed career for the sake of the GC and was at my wits ends with this long wait. Thanks to the almighty the road from here is hopefully green:)
Things I did:
1. Wife opened SR- Got standard response
2. Called congressman- they called and got standard response
3. I opened a SR on Aug 3rd
4. I called today and spoke with standard rep who told me my SR has a response “we are processing the case actively and need additional verification. If you don’t hear in 6-9 months please call back”. I told the level 1 rep I need to talk to level 2 and she transferred.
Level 2 and me spoke at length. She was very considerate and polite. The best info she could give was that my case was being actively adjucated. The case is at TSC, if it was not with an IO it will be in New Hampshire in storage.:eek: Give some more time for the case. I expressed my fear about dates retrogressing and she affirmed “hopefully this time it wont”.
And now I saw the status change. My wife still has a FP on the 12th and I have an infopass which I will cancel.
Best of luck to all who are waiting, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Can you give me some reasons why visas are unused and a percentage.
In other words, why would someone go through all the paperwork and then not get the visa?
He meant that 140k Visa numbers allocated each year, out of which less number Visas are actually processed by CIS, all the unused visa numbers in the past which might be more than 300k should be used now to reduce the backlog.

This is a great suggestion, and thinking ahead is the name of the game!
I guess after Dual CitizenShip now in operation majority people might be interested in Citizenship and why not avail those benefits US passport is welcome in 3/4 of the world, for all the people who have travelled knows how cumbersome immigration procedures are in various countries.
Anyway Phase 2 suggestion of lobbying for including the the number of years of leagally living here in the citizenship count and getting an "option" of becoming a citizen when GC is issued would be great (because most people who have applied there GCs have been here atleast 5 years :))
The Guys who already have GC should also support this idea as they will be benifited by this as well.
good going!

Hi everyone! Hope you guys can help me.
We had our lawyer file my husband's H1B non-profit with me as his dependent. I guess you can say that we trusted our lawyer too much when he said that he filed both for H1B & H4. Now, I feel so stupid for not inquiring about it too much before.
My husband's H1B just got approved and the lawyer is asking me now if I got my H4 or a notice of receipt of my own. I did not know that the notice of receipt for both of us should be different. I thought there ought to be 1 notice of receipt for the two of us since my status would be totally dependent whether or not he will be approved.
When I asked them whether they are sure that they filed for the H4, they said that they did but they did not sound too convincing. They turn the table around by asking whether or not I received the notice of receipt and my approval.
What concerns me are:
(1) My husband's approval & notice of receipt arrived at the lawyer's/employer's office, why is mine supposed to be mailed at my place?
(2) The possibility of H1B being approved and the H4 disapproved since we are both currently here in the United States already.
(3) Do I have a real reason to be alarmed that I do not have an approval for H4 at hand? Is there a possibility that it's just delayed right now since the approval for H1B arrived just two days ago?
(4) How can I verify whether the lawyer filed for the H4 with the H1B?
Help!

I've mailed my application on 3/16 and received by Houston office on 3/18 as per fedex tracking..
I sent an email to passportcgihouston@swbell.net on friday and got the response that my application was not registered in their system..
Is there some waiting time to register the application in the system?? I'll send another mail after 2 days..hopefully it will be registered by then..

Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.
I had the page scrolling issue too on IE 6 (at work) . Now, I open IV forumns on firefox and I do not have the problem anymore.

I will appreciate your comments
RandyK, Yabadaba, EkAuraaya,
Sorry guys I was busy in other forums all these days. Today somehow I visited this forum and found your comments.
Now coming to the point it is very hard for me to put stats from 1999 to till today as a "proof" here but I will try to summarized in terms of events. And generally I will keep my predictions tagged to INDIA only because I have not studied or analyzed other categories greatly.
1) Till 2000 second quarter Labor approval in old system was really fast.
People used to have approved labor in one and half months in states like
california. If you arrived in USA in year 2005 or your GC is filed in 2005 or
thereafter you would not understand why I am writing this but ask the
importance about this sentence to the people who filed GC between 2001
and 2005.RIR was kind of recent concept and zillions of oppertunists were
taking advantage of that and still system was not broken. Categories were
not mattered much like today as for both catgories avg GC time was 2 to 3
years from start to end.
2) Here comes famous year 2001 - USCIS came up with AC21 and
simultaneously RIR catgory was starting having problems as those zillions
in step 1 already started clogging "RIR" and most of them were under EB2
USCIS (Then INS) started denial or tightened screws on RIR filing. Lawyers
started to force non-rir and preferably EB3 only category. From this point
onward category started to be mattered much and that thing is still going
on today. An dyet I have not talked about the mess and pile AC21
created with tons of bogus filings. EB2 clogging already became visible due
to RIR based filings... Lawyers were forcing EB3 and non-RIR filing and
couple ing with bogus filing EB3 Queue instantly became monsterous
(Within 6 months, or by the end of 2001) . Another factor is H1b Visa limit
made 195000 from 65000
3) RIR clogging mentioned in step 2 could become controllable so new filing
again get diverted towards EB2 with the knowledge of huge piled up filing
in Eb3. By year 2002 mid USCIS start experiencing "Adminsitrative
problems" and "huge work load and insufficient staff" and hence slow
approvals for labor. Simultaneously economy bubble bursted. Many
legitimate files became garbage as people were laid off left and right. For
survival in USA those laid off people join the queues of consulting
companies and multiple filings started to become visible.
4) Year 2003 - EB2 faced little retrogression briefly for 4-5 months and
second trend of RIR denials and second trend of forcing EB3- NON RIR
filing. EB3 faced brief retrogression for 2 months. Year 2003 finished with 2
Huge lines. Eb2 and Eb3. EB2 was predominantly RIR filings.. Screaming
already started and it was about to become like July fiasco at the first
quarter of year 2004. Because logically RIR was supposed to be faster
processing and it was serving its own purpose. Somehow USCIS realized
that and in all categories Eb2 started to be processed faster and Eb3 is
blocked. (Hey USCIS had 140000 visas only per year even at that time).
So end effect at the end of year 2004 the infamous block of EB3 got
implemented successfully and EB2 was running like "milkha singh".
5) By the year 2005 first quarter many people had to still wait although they
observed that they are in EB3 trap as economy was still bad. These group
slowly started to jump the fence either using LC substitution or new direct
filing under EB2. I remember one of my frined in California was asking me
that where he should pay $ 21000 for LC to desi comapny or not.
By the end of this process of jumping the fence to EB2 accelerated and
lasted till Year 2006. PERM was introduced.Backlog Centers were introduced.
For the whole 2 years (2005, 2006 and last quarter of 2004) EB3 was blocked
and EB2 was given preference.By the end of 2006 most stuck in EB2 since 2001
were released and got their GC. Now EB3 could start flowing.
6) You already know 2007 events.
7) Bottomline now EB3 will move upwards till 2005 mid with first priority and EB
2 will also brought till 2005 mid but this will be done by moving Eb3 first as
it is already way behind.
8) Once both EB2 and EB3 reches 2005 mid bench mark Eb2 will again
become faster with comparision to EB3.
Note: I have not talked about LC substitution practice during 2001 to 2004 but that black market was already flourishing
during all those years. And Have decided not to put 9/11 as a factor because nobody has a proof that USCIS
decided slow bleed based on 9/11. Yes we feel that but we cann ot produce the proof.
