So far from the poll results I see that most of us are here by choice ( though we are put thru GC waits). no matter what we will try to stay here until we reach our personal breaking point which would tigger us to look at alternatives.
Someone here asked what independence and freedom has to do with the Quit America thing. Most of the immigrant community feels that they are not given access to lot of things due to restrictions in their visas and unpredictable GC process. And the inconvenience and trouble their familes go through. With that in prespective I am thinking that we have lost atleast some of our freedom and independence.
This reason for this poll is to also make people think .
Of course, once you come to a new place, you lose some freedom, and take time to adjust to the new situation. If you or someone believes that by quiting US, one can achieve independence and freedom, by all means. I don't think America says that you HAVE TO work and live here. It is very simple to achieve such independence and freedom, resign, sell everything and catch a plane.

Here are my case details as well.
Came to US in Aug 1999 on F-1 after B.Tech. Graduated with MS (Telecom) in Dec 2000. Joined a major telecom firm immediately after graduation. My first EB-3 labor was filed in Dec 2001 (Non-RIR) but employer withdrew it because of lay-offs. Employer filed again in Nov'03 (Non-RIR again) and it was approved in March 2007 (after RIR conversion in Jan 2007) by Dallas BEC, followed by I-140 approval (March 2007) and I-485 filing in July 2007. Though my job required a MS degree, my employer could not file in EB-2 as there were people in my team with just Bachelors degree when they joined the company 10-15 yrs ago and lawyer did not advise employer to file in EB-2 as EB-3 was current those days......After surviving 12 rounds of lay-offs, no job security whatsoever throughout and fed up with EB3 process, I changed jobs after 8.5 yrs (July 2009) and my new job required a minimum of MS + 6 yrs of experience and fortunately my new employer (another large company) had no issues re-starting the process again. I work in Mobile Communications R&D (developing networks which support smart phones (2G/3G and now 4G-LTE technology) have been in this field since Jan 2001) and here are my EB-2 case details:
Joined new employer in July 2009
PERM Prep work took 6 months
EB2 PERM filed: March 30th, 2010 (MS + 6 yrs or BS + 8 yrs as min requirements)
EB2 PERM approved: Aug 11th, 2010
EB2 I-140 filed: Aug 27th, 2010 (Premium Processing, EB3 I-140 approval copy enclosed with request to Port EB3 PD)
EB2 I-140 and I-485 approved concurrently on Sep 3rd, 2010
Cards received Sep 7th, 2010
Hope this helps.
Truly borderline EB1. Congrats!

Where is your case? I am sorry if you have already mentioned it before. If its TSC, please send me a message and I will give you the name of the officer. Please try to call around 4 PM tomrrow.
For all those who have sent me pvt. messages, I will mail you a copy of the letter I sent out to Secretary Napolatino and first lady in the evening today.
wow!!!..just amazing. But irony is that while your case was pending, nobody informed you that why case was sitting on the shelf.
Never mind- sometimes, no activity is actually good. I am seeing repeated LUD's on my approved 140 and now wondering what is going on.

Here is a idea :
To start any New Thread , we should check whether post is from monthly recurring payer, if so he gets to start new thread else for each new thread charge $1.
Similarly ...Non paying member/Paying member posts has to be identified with specific tags.
We got to do this change ASAP ..This will be a small change to Code..

I had my H1 visa appointment on December 27th in Chennai. They said that my visa was approved and that I would recieve my passport within one week. I have not recieved it yet. I called up the Consulate a few times last week and initially they were saying that 'it would take another 2-3 days'. Finally when I called up on Friday the 4th, they said that another 7 days was needed for the PIMS verification.
Still no news......I was supposed to fly out on the 6th to report to work on the 8th but had to postpone my ticket.
Anyone else in the same position please share!
Thanks

@buddy thanks for this thoughtful insight, and i am also not looking forward to any transfers as i tried it with one employer who wanted to hire me but so late as it has been the procedure didn't get through.
Well about him not closing down shutters i know it would be difficult to indict him to that level, but even for him to hire an attorney and fight to save his A** would be a greater achievement and moreover once i am back to my native, i will blacklist him as much as i can in the forums and in the immigration voice. I will make it sure he doesn't get any goat to butcher from my native land any further.
All i am seeking here is that even if DOL launches a investigation and he loses his money over it during his trial and if everything goes well (as i am preparing every doc , every communication, every letter that he sent me to prove that these consultants are all looking for money no matter even if it comes in the form of someone's blood) my job would be done. Hopefully DOL will tighten some screws somewhere and maybe i can save one more like me to fall into the trap of this company.
I would be constantly working to make sure if someone types his name , my reviews of his blacklist appears before his company website, i have done many SEOs for many companies and my friends i am capable of destroying him at least over the internet and i shall see to it that happens.
Maybe he took a bigger fish than he could swallow this time.:-)

I have sent money using icicibank's M2I service . Usually they take 5 working days to remit the money(atleast 8 days to transfer). I made four transactions last week(mon, tue, wed, thu) and they already remitted the money using low conversion rate.
It just took less than three days to remit the money this time. Bank deliberately did this just to steal money from me. I have lost more than 35 paise per dollar and it comes close to Rs 10,000. This is ridiculous and its a big robbery.
How do i get my money back? How do i make a compliant about this bank? They have no one to assist me over the phone.
What to do now?. Rs 10,000 may look too small for us. But how can we let banks to act like a criminals.
Any help/suggestion/comment?
LOL..this bank is a POS..its just our fate that we still end up with these bank ppl..I wish sometime we in India get better and BIGGER banks than ICICI.

I completely agree with you. The best thing the forum can do for such people is to educate them and the best way to do that is with case studies of what situation were people in and how they fought back. It easy to tell people to take the plunge, any one will hesitate to jump into darkness.
I think we should also hear from people who have taken action and what their experience was. This may give ideas to others.

Ok. I agree with everything you say but you still haven't explained why EB-2 China hasn't moved. They never were Unavailable, which means they haven't used their quota but are still retrogressed. Why absolutely no relief for them? Not even a month forward movement?
To be honest, I have no way to know why absolutely no change for China. There have been times earlier where India and China had similar cut out dates, then they changed dramatically, then India became unavailable, and now they are same again. With so much happening, I would say its very difficuilt to have a logical reason with no real data.
All I can come up is that perhaps China might had a little higher demand than India in the last few months, or just that in case of spill overs, most visas might be consumed by countries most retrogressed, or perhaps DHS believes that the number of visas spill over would be only enough to cover EB2 Inida + EB2 china up to a certain date and China was already at that date, so if the demand is less than expected, then we will see movement in both India and China.
Wish best for all Employment based filers. Hopefully some law change comes and justice is done to every one.
I would hate to see different immigrant groups worrying about which group is getting ahead.
Keep contributing to IV effort and hope no one need to go through extended wait times..........

Will OMB approve this rule? What is OMB?
