Hopefully this does not get postponed and happens sooner rather than later. This should make the priority dates move faster than now.

No. "Canadian experience" is just a lame excuse, partially because Canada has a very subtle racism feeling, but mainly because the economy there is sluggish and weak. I have Canadian PR and lived there for a year seeking jobs. I have dozens of friends, some born in Canada and holding PhD in IT.
I recall very well when I landed there in 1998, I talked to a gentleman who was white, blue eyes. He was the counselor for a government placement program, an educated man. He grew up in Toronto; he reported to me that he felt that many employers in Vancouver, BC many times discriminated him based on his accent from the East. Another gentleman, at the same freaking day I arrived at the airport, was from England and worked in the financing sector. Again, I will never forget he told me "if you ever get a chance to go to the US, go immediately. Canada has no future". Then I met a girl the same day who told me she immigrated to Canada from the Middle East, but kept working illegally in the US. She said that living illegally in the US, with some restrictions applied, is way better than living as a legal resident in Canada. As my friend told me many times, Canada sucks. If you have a warm and sweet family back home and can get an OK job back home, think about it before going to Canada. You may end up there frustrated cursing your idea of coming here to North America. Of course if you come from a hostile place, extremely poor, etc, Canada or many other places should be a good option for you. That's different.
I would think IT experience is the same anywhere so taking it to canada should be ok? If not there are plenty of other management jobs there. It might be a new start but in a one year timespan you will be well established.
Is it just my wishful thinking?
As for masters, are you persuing MBA? How about PMP?

Where can I find medical insurance for my parents with reasonable coverage with reasonable premium. Their age is between 55 to 60. Obviously they are with some medical conditions like blood pressure, diabetic... like usual stuff like typical parents would have...Can somebody suggest good one... thanks in advance.
I have used AIG for my in-laws visit and didn't had to use it. Why can't we add them to our insurance as dependants? Did anyone tried this?

If you have an older priority date (EB-2 or EB-3) such as 2004 or earlier, it would most likely be a waste of your time and money to file your adjustment now.
In any case, the initial filing would be outwardly denied and no immediate benefit would come of it. .
My lawer says the same thing too.. Also he says the other possibility is that USCIS keep aside these apps and these may end up getting transfered service center to service center like the old LC apps. not very sure how much he it make sense though

Someone gave me red dot with following comment --
please look at your very H-1 visa application and interview, you would have also said to the visa officer that you DO NOT have immigrant intent. I dont know of a single person who said that they HAVE an intention to immigrate.
I must tell you that my first labor application was submitted in 2002 and since then I have been to US consulate 2 times. Every time, I have put Yes on DS-156 where they ask whether anyone has filed an immigration petition on your behalf. I know that US consulate can not reject my application based on saying Yes in this question, however, if I say no and hide the fact and if they figure that out...I would be in trouble.
Yes buddy, you lied....for a long time and now you are talking!

This is how it works. If you file for your 485 now, the next thing that is expected from you is to wait for the receipt, that would take 3 to 4 weeks. Then you will get finger print notice, that might come in three months time. Once you are done with all this then check the processing date of the respective service centre where you have filed your 485 application.
Now coming to the question of unmarried filers, if the principal aplicant's date of marriage is beofe his or her 485 adjudication of adjustment of status, there are two ways principal applicant file for 485 for his or her spouse. The spouse can travel to US on H4 and file for 485 or the principal applicant can do consular processing. Now consular processing is good for those cases whosw w PD is current but since retrogression can kick in anytime it is better to travel to US on H4 and file for 485.
Another important aspect is if you file 485, EAD, Advance Parole and you use EAD, you loose your H1 status, hence on EAD you can not bring in your wife. So unmarried filersn it goes like thisn you go ahead and fileyour 485, then go to your home country brng in your wife on H4n as you have aleast s months of time if NSC, TSC or CSC 485 processing is not current and it is hown 1 month for receipt of 485, three months of time for getting the finger print notice and you can postpone by another month of FP by rescheduling it to another month. So literally you have 4 to 5 months to get married and by that time the dates will retrogress again. So dont worry, just go ahead file your 485 and start looking to get married. But try to bring in your spouse asap so that you can file for your spouses 485 also till the time PD is current. If you are not able to file for 485 for your spouse and you have filed for yourself and whenthe dates retrogresses again when your spouse comed to US you would not be able to use EAD as using EAD nullifies H1 and H4 status. So desi consulting companies will keep on sucking your blood as you cannot change job using EAD. If you need more info on this let me know I have gone through this and waited for almost three years to file for my spouse I resheduled my FP notice in 2004 to get married by the time my wife came retrogression kicked in and waited till June 2007 to file for my wife. My PD june 2002 still waiting

SLV profile in yahoo mentions it tries to hold instruments to match SLV performance.
GLD claims physical gold holding in their profile. There is not holding detail on yahoo finance.
It will be interesting to dig into their actual portfolio holdings. But I agree that these are probably the closest instruments on gold and silver price play.
Both these ETF's have huge loop holes that are well known in the pro circles. The very question that they are holding physical gold or silver is highly questionable considering the market cap of these ETF's. There is risk that they will not perform like the underlying at all.
The custodians of SLV is JPM who usually has a huge short position on Colmex silver and GLD is HSBC who has a huge short position on gold. Read this article for more info.
Are GLD and SLV Legitimate Investment Vehicles? -- Seeking Alpha (http://seekingalpha.com/article/149209-are-gld-and-slv-legitimate-investment-vehicles)
Again this goes to my point that trading commodities is not as straight forward as it seems even in plain and easy instruments.

Folks!
Let us use this weekend to get on the phone and spend an average of 1 min. 20 seconds per Representative leaving voice mail messages per this script. It is absolutely easy. There can be no reason we cannot do it.
For each Immigrant In The Queue, remember, you can call, so can your wife, so can each of your kids. Get a friend to call. Get his wife, or her husband to call. 57 is pathetically low. If each of us that have called gets ONE MORE PERSON to spend a grand total of 10 Minutes leaving voicemails, we will have hit the 100 mark.
Guys, gals and other beings... this is not scary stuff. You will be 'talking' to voicemail. Time much better spent than debating the LA Lakers-Celtics game, wondering about what to eat for lunch, or debating the latest controversy thats caught your fancy.
Seriously, let the HIGH SKILLS portion of our profile come to play ... pick up the phone and call ... call now !!!!
Peace!

@Alex: I like your will to file compliant. There are lot of people who want to do this, but doesn't have enough courage to even start the process. You did the first step by looking for information on how to file compliant. Since you decided to go back, I dont want to comment on other options
I saw one post on the thread by "Mayday" (its the ONLY relevant post for your initial question) on how to file complaint. Please follow that. I tried to search for more details, but I counldn't get more. Also please contact DOL (www.dov.gov, just call them, If I'm in your place I will do the same) see if they can provide any info. Some where I read that we can even complain from our own country. check that.
Most of the people in this forum are kind of "zombies".( they will get back to normal life once they receive their GC) Please ignore them.

I agree with anands26 to an extent. We just need fresh ideas and activities going on while we wait for something to happen.
If we are not able to attract new members at a great rate we should atleast make sure we get to retain the existing strength.Word of mouth can only get you so much.
How about making professional grade media clips and posting the link on different websites? The one on IV we have now looks amateurish and doesnt quite do any justice to the org(with all due respects to the person in the clip). Its all about the outlook. People will tend to take us more seriously if we can do a few slick video clips with statistics,interviews(with different nationals) and such.Recruit an (not so expensive)Ad agency.Seeing is believing.It could probably boost the membership level too.Lets not sell ourselves short.
I also agree with anands26 on attacking the ideas instead of the person. If the leadership needs a slap on the hand so be it. Lets encourage some constructive criticism.Last week we witnessed a lot of personal attacks and guess who was doing it?
Ok, if advertising is too far-fetched, then hold some cultural events and make money on those. Brainstorm with members to find other ways to make money. People are not going to contribute. That is the writing on the wall. There is lack of trust and lack of faith in IV. IV will have to figure out ways to generate cash from other things than member contributions. If I remember correctly, people contributed nearly $200K and have got nothing to show for that.
These suggestions are because you think money is the issue. I don't think it is. It's the lack of good leadership. That is my opinion and it was point of my original posting. Lack of money is being blamed wrongly. But may be I am wrong.
Attack my ideas and not me. Then we can have a debate conducive to achieving our goals.

As Pappu mentioned, the $ 64,000 figure is not a typo. That indeed is the money that was spent by him individually. Logiclife and others made trips to DC,air travel, hotel etc.. does add up real fast. All the expenses on these travels have been borne by the individuals and have not been reimbursed. More than 99 % of the IV funds has been used for advocacy efforts and getting council.
The kind of commitment shown by Aman and logiclife is unparallel and they deserve our salutes and wishes. Also, do not forget to contribute to Immigration Voice. What we have achieved is interim relief, there has more work to be done in the future.
