They didnt provide docs for the US attorney firings because Bush cited "Executive privilege" ... there is no such "privilege" in this case .... Bush hopefully had nothing to do with the DOS/USCIS screwup :)
No executive privilege in this case as it involves the Departments and not the Executive office of the President/Vice President. Only partial communication that happen between EO and agencies can be claimed as executive privilege (still, congress can challenge that in the Courts).

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!
Thumbsup!!
There is a perception on this board that renting => no quality of life. After going through some of the replies, I see that some are trying to convince themselves of their decision to buy a house.

All,
My lawyer received the following RFE during premium process of my PERM I-140 application.
===Here is the text from original RFE========
Submit evidence that alien obtained a true 4 years bachelor degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, Math or Equivalent. Evidence of education must be in form of an official diploma, record/transcript showing all dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any. The evidence submitted shows that the alien completed a three year Bachelor in Science Degree in India
===========
fyi: I have 3 years of B.Sc and 2 Years of Post Graduate Diploma in MIS from India.
Let me know if anyone here has received thia kind of RFE and what could be the best next step to overcome this RFE.
Thanks,
-Dhiraj

Dear respected Pappu,
I am sorry for the confusion and wrong information. I can not view those two threads.Is there anything I am missing? I am sorry pappu.
Thanks

I had the same issue for the last month or so. Also the message that comes up once the login fails is misleading. It tells you that you might have been disabled, or you are acessing a donor forum etc. or you are trying to edit someone else's post. (it will be very helpful to add a message about the privacy setting there)

There are thousands of anecdotes that I could share. My best is the look of shock on one of the IV member's face when I asked him to escort one of the lawmakers who attended the Monday evening reception dinner. We couldn't believe that we see him on C-Span and he is standing next to us and supporting our cause.
- Can you imagine the feeling when a lawmakers says I know about you guys. You are doing a good job. This shows we are visible in the Hill.
- I felt great when I saw the confidence on the smiling faces of IV members when they came out of lawmakers meetings. For those who missed this historic opportunity, I can't even begin to explain the change in mindset from the initial apprehension about visiting a lawmaker's office to, "Why do I only have three meetings set up, I want to fill in for others IV members who might not have shown up due to various reasons"
For those demanding immediate results when they themselves might not have showed up at the rally the answer is, we will get our green cards eventually. There is absolutely no doubt about that in my mind but these experiences and memories will be cherished for a long time. This is also important to me. This new "experience capital" which was initially present among just the core members has trickled down to other members, we are growing in strength and reach our goal soon.
I am glad I went for three days. I wish I could stay longer.

Hello All,
I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
I always feared that this long wait to get the status issue settled would kill the entrepreneurial spirit that I have. The burning desire to do my own thing.
I have been trading stocks for the past 4 years or so now but just recently got interested in PDT - Pattern Day Trading (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader) (Clickable)
I have found it very interesting as well as rewarding in terms of fulfilling the urge to do something more than what I am doing right now.
It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
I would like people who are interested to "PM" me or post replies here so we can exchange ideas
IMP NOTE: Trading stocks is a type of investment so It is perfectly legal to do so. You do not even require an EAD to do so .
No doubt that if you do have EAD you can trade as business entity as well.
Last but not the least
Do not forget to to keep the momentum up at IV and do donate to IV as often as you can .
Now lets Play !!!!!:cool:
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..

The recurring payment is a nice idea, however the options are limited.
For e.g. I tried to revise mine to $25 from $20, there's no option to do so.
I will probably cancel this subscription and setup one from my bank.
$25, $50, $75, $100 are ideal amounts. I don't know if PayPal charges for each subscription option you create(I would think not).
Please chew on it and and implement, if you think it's good.

Or is that supposed to be implied when everyone stops talking about it.
