for your kind words about my response. truth of the matter is, i was pretty upset and seething in anger for a good part of saturday. finally i decided it was better to "lose" this contact for good, than put up with the outright insult. we have nothing to be afraid, ashamed or apologetic about our cause.
thanks again for your kind words. i did get a positive reply from a dean at my alma mater, a leading pvt university, that fully supports these positions. possibly an indication that we should be reaching out to US university deans to get their active support?
please feel free to edit / copy+paste both the chain email and the racism-response ... to meet any of your respective outreach needs
also, we have almost as many folks that have not called as those that did. why? oh why? just pick up the phone and leave at least 1 VM today!

You can day trade. I have been trading for a while in various different capacities. Just make sure you have a good tax guy, they usually charge more for day traders due to all the trade reconciliation needed while doing taxes. Since I got the EAD it has become much easier though. You open a regular trading account and trade. Here is the key to day trading- Risk management, Risk management & Risk management. I cannot emphasize this enough. Most people get in with out much knowledge and burn out fast because of bad risk management. Have an exit strategy before putting on the trade and exit AT that point. Don’t get emotional.
Key thing is; I quote "Plan your trade and trade your plan".
Retail brokerage accounts like Scottrade, Ameritrade are OK for regular trading but if you want to day trade they are not good enough. Day Trading is all about execution and you will need a faster broker than these guys.
Some good ones are Interactive brokers, Think or swim (I think TD Ameritrade bought them out) and e-signal with one of their partner brokers.
For the guys in and around NY/NJ there are a lot of day trading firms like Hold Bros (Jersey City), Lynx capital and Cymera capital in NYC which offer good execution and good commissions.
Commissions have to be factored in as you will be trading a lot and all those fees add up. Execution has to be very fast <2 secs or you will loose money in slippage. Another factor with faster execution is that you might be able to front run news which gives you an advantage.
But before you jump in with both feet, do a lot of research. Paper trade a lot and hone your skills. What you know in equities is just tip of the ice berg. There are tremendous amounts of infrastructure and brains dedicated to squeezing out "alpha" and to beat them is not easy. The real money is in trading options, but this is for the really sophisticated trader. In options you can loose your entire capital.
Any one starting out must read a lot. I would suggest:
1. Come into my Trading Room- By Elder
2. The Equity Trader Course- By Schwartz
3. Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners- By Harris
For those of you a little sophisticated:
1. Volatility Trading- By Sinclair or By Johannes
2. The Options course- By Fontanills
3. Bible of Option trading- By Guy
4. Quantitative Trading- By Chan
If anyone is interested to go beyond this (one step away from insanity), let me know and I can suggest some more reading.
The key thing to realize is pattern trading is a self fulfilling prophecy. The more you trade the more you realize it.
I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra day trading.. you can do only routine trading ( dont know excat term ) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..

Where is this guy VDLRAO who predicted "EB2 India will be current within a Year"? Did he mean year 2067?:D:D
VDLRAO and me and other members did prediction based on USCIS efficiancy and based on how it worked for last 2 years. Since Jan 2009 after new secretary came in we see lots of news about improve in process. If they improve more and more then we will clear of old PD application but VB dates move slowly . but no back and forth jump like previous year. So lets say if VB touches 2005 this summer then it will be same for next fiscal year first quater. Then it may move from there.....

Do you know the story of the crow getting to the water by putting pebbles into the jug which had very little water?
Well, here we are: the water is IV's target...the pebbles are the contributions ($200, great, but $20, still good!!) from a large number of members. It's impossible to justify why one can not contribute $200 when the core members and some others like you & anurakt have given so much more. I believe it is equally important to encourage as many members to contribute as much they can.
No contribution is too small if it is actually made. An ounce of action is better than a pound of intention!
Some legislative action is expected in Feb. Money will be needed immediately. I don't think $20/month is the answer.
I think $200 is a very reasonable amount based on the cause. Life is not a charity.
You should pay a total of $200 immediately if you have paid less then $200.

bharat premi...please look at this link...it has all the bulletins from 2002. please point me to single instance where the the bulletin was retrogressed even once in 2002-2003
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html
Glad, you took pain to check and see all bulletins. Can you see India in 2003 bulletins? India was simply dispappeared from earlier months-2003 bulletins. It was no more "OverSubscribed" country as per INS. In reality in background Eb3 India was on hold and almost all the year treated like step child by INS. EB2 India was doing good throughout 2003. Since bulletins kicked India out how can you know then? Mymajor source of information as usual was murthy.com and immigration.com. I vaguely remember murthy came up with one or two warning articles about "administrative" hold on Eb3 processing and severe future Eb3 retrogressions then.

Do we get a confirmation once a "referred friend" becomes a member? I want to keep tab on who has signed up so that I can follow up with them.
Do you mean an email confirmation? I dont think that is possible. It is better we call them up and make sure they signed up!
Thanks Immilaw.
Everyone, please bring just ONE member to IV by Dec 31st!

I agree with you that this isn't just fair to people who are stuck in DOL. People who have been waiting for years together will continue waiting while people who got their PERM approved as recently as this year will file for 485. Where is the justice in this? I guess DOS & USCIS have not clue what they are doing as far as the PD's are considered. Couple of months back they had retrogressed as far as 2001 (EB3) & 2003 (EB2) and now they have all become current. How can this possibly happen?
Few of my friends purchased pre-approved labors paying thousands of dollars (which I don't approve anyways) and now they feel cheated having wasted the money for nothing.
I am happy that at least the recent applicants do not have to go through the ordeal which most of the members of IV had to deal with for few years now. My sincere hope is that they value their GC as much as people who have been stuck in this backlogs. It would be a very ungrateful of them, if they think that getting GC's is a piece of cake and it can be obtained in a year. I hope & pray that PD remains current for few more months so that people stuck in DOL have an opportunity to file their 485's soon.
Agreed, It is very unfortunate for people stuck in backlogs and I feel your pain... But would you rather have seen USCIS waste over 40000 visas by the end of the year without any PD movement (as reported by some on this forum)? We would have had another thread here blasting the inefficiency and unfairness of USCIS.
Bottomline, I would not like to work in USCIS right now.. They are basically damned if they do, damned if they dont. That said, I do hope that BECs get their act together like USCIS is trying to and get everyones labor cleared by the deadline before the next retrogression hits.

Best Wishes to all the hopefuls.
I am in waiting game. Hoping against hope to go green.
BTW, today I treid calling USCIS. First the 1st level representative spoke and she straightway created a SR for me and my daughter. Once she finished that part Politely I asked her to transfer to an IO. Luckily without any wait call got connected to an IO. Had very brief conversation with him. He was fixated on my EAD being valid till August 2010, so according to him I don't have to worry about. But I persisted with my line of questions like current status, whether it is pre-adjudicated?, whether all clearances are done etc. Only thing he replied was "Your Case is in REVIEW". I asked him what does review means. His answer was review means review. Our conversation stopped there.
What do you guys think on "Your case is under review"?

One suggestion I have, which is followed by lot of websites with PHP Bulletin boards with high traffic is to use a separate server for boards pointing to something like forums.immigrationvoice.org and keep the main site www.immigrationvoice.org on a separate not so powerful server.
Atleast it ensures that the main site doesn't go down, when forum usage is very high.

Dear All,
The idea about the oath is good. Most of us do great, creative things at work and earn the appreciation of our peers and seniors. Why not we brainstorm now, come with creative ideas to help ourselves?
Let us be open all new ideas. No idea is stupid!
Personally I would think of a mass satyaghraha but not sure now many will like it. It is a peaceful and well tried Gandian method to highlight our plight
GOD bless the EB community!
