this is a one-sided view of someone hell-bent over renting is better than buying.
not all the things make sense for all areas of US. In texas you can buy 2000+ sq.ft area house for around 200k.
and if you take 15 yrs mortgage, you will not pay more money towrads your interest.
people on internet have their own agenda. dont fall for this one unless the guy is Warren Buffett or the likes of him...
If you're talking about rent vs buy, everything you've said or will say has already been discussed here:

IMO, the key criterion is "occupational classification" under which the new job falls under, not the technologies used. For example, it is logical to conclude that a Software Engineer position that requires programming in Java is in the same or similar occupational classification as a Software Engineer job that requires programming in .NET.
One could argue that .NET is a different technology than Java, but most if not all would agree they fall under the same/similar occupational classification.
So as long as you can make a strong case that the occupational classification for jobs is the same/similar, I don't think there is a problem.
Then again, I am not a lawyer and all that...
In that case, both my old and new job (responsibilities and titles) fall under 15-1031.00 if we take into consideration a broader classification where job duties are the same but technologies are probably 60% same but some technologies mentioned in my L/C are obsolete and my current employer does not list those technologies.

This is an extremely childish argument. In all honesty, the rules are the rules, we do not make them and nor do we interpret them. In the past the way the rules were interpreted favored EB3 over EB2I. Last year they said they took another look at the language and interpreted the rules as they should have been all along. At that time, there was much argument within this board and others. Those like me kept saying that EB immigration has always had a skills hierarchy and from the language EB category took precedence over country of origin quotas(which were discriminatory anyway). Others including popular posters like UN and lawyers like Ron Gotcher took the other view. In the end the state Dept. decided with the Eb category precedence and horizontal spillover. Should those that suffered the misinterpretation in 2006/7 ask for reallotment of future flows of visas to redress that injustice? No.
Likewise, many people got the opportunity to file 485s in the summer fiasco. There were hundreds of thousands of people who had already filed and were waiting for years by then, but the USCIS was being their usual inefficient self and not doing squat with their application. Were they not wronged? What about their total lack of respect for the FIFO policy? How would one of you feel in 2012 if someone who filed in 2012 and with a PD the same as or later than you get approved first?
These are process issues. There are many flaws in the system. Complaining when it grieves you and smiling when it suits you is not correct.
You guys need to learn to put the mission ahead of your personal interests. IN the interim, if you are able to migrate to EB2 and are confident in your case to be able to do that, then do so. However complaining on and on, and deligitimizing the whole advocacy effort is not how you get your goals accomplished. The singular best solution for everyone is visa recapture. If there was broad participation by everyone affected, I believe it would have happened already. EB3 v EB2 battles and other fault line battles accomplish nothing. Letters to officials along these divisive lines, while it may pacify your anguish a bit, make the community a laughing stock.

While I do not condone all practices of these big companies: coz of them many ppl sitting in India will have a H-1 and may never come here but me and some of my friends who have been working hard as students here (doing B.S. from a very reputed school, that still doesn't help be cap exempt) shall likely be left out.
But, I do see racism in all this H-1B talk, lets face it: these are means to control (mostly) Asian immigration, I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue at all if H-1B was not the 'brown man's' visa to America.
PS: Just my 2 cents, no offense intended to anyone of any color.

From ILW:
FBI name check delays that have stalled benefit applications may soon be a thing of the past. We understand that the Executive branch will soon provide name check clearances within a prescribed amount of time. If the clearance is not completed within the designated timeframe, the benefit will be approved by USCIS while the FBI continues to work on the security process in parallel. The rationale to move tothis new process is not just better customer service for benefits applicants but also because it will enhance national security(our security demands that the bad guys be apprehended, not merely be denied immigration benefits). The background for this change of heart by the Executive branch is the fact that many federal courts have been coming down hard on excessive name checkdelays by the FBI. In fact, not only have some courts ordered expedited name check completions but in some cases courts have suggested that the courts have and would use their authority to adjudicate petitions if the Executive branch could not get itsact together. The attorneys and litigants who have sought federal court relief over these last several years deserve credit forforcing the Executive branch to adopt a more effective policy in this area (when it does happen, hopefully very soon).
=======================
Note: These details may be true. Last month we had heard such information but not in detail and thus had not posted it. We were hoping to get this news within 6-8 weeks (As per oour note on http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14749). There are efforts to make name checks current and that is good news for everyone waiting for several years in the namecheck blackhole. It will also help recent applicants who might be getting into this problem.
IV wants to thank all its members who took up this issue with their lawmakers and also contacted Ombudsman's office to solve this issue.

1. This is what I don't understand. The original discussion was that getting an EVL is a bother. Now are you saying there should be another document people would need to apply for as proof of identity? Wouldn't that be an even greater bother?
2. Now, since the drivers license is used as proof of identity, it is necessary to ensure that criminal elements do not get it. Which includes illegal / out of status immigrants who could also be a security risk. Employment verification ensures that the person holding the H1 or H4 visa is in valid immigrant status. Which is why they ask you for the EVL even while stamping the visa. That is the security angle. Seriously...this is all fairly obvious stuff. The govt just wants to make it difficult for illegal / out of status aliens to get a drivers license. What is wrong with that? The funniest comment on this forum from somebody who was ruing that he couldn't bribe someone here for a license like he could do in India. Really? Do you want people driving on US roads who bribed their way to a license?
1. Were n't you concerned with the security of this country. Have one more Id in your wallet. How does it matter? You are ready to do whatever this country asks you just because you are a non-immigrant.
2. Again I don't get your reasoning. How does immigration status verification ensure the security of this country ? Come up with some logical points.
Do you know that there are citizens from terror breeding countries roaming around in this country as citizens ( because they are not subject to country quota), whereas people from democratic countries like India being subject to all kinds of discrimination just because we are non-immigrants ( indirectly because we are subject to country cap) ?
It took a Martin Luther King to liberate blacks from slavery.
It took Mahatma Gandhi to get Independence for millions of Indians.
I am not assuming all individuals will have the same level of dignity and self respect. If you lack enough self respect, you will probably say US can ask us to wear a chain around our neck just because we are non-immigrants.
This reminds me of Adoor Gopalakrishnan's movie Vidheyan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidheyan
Thommy, a Christian migrant labour from Kerala is an obedient slave of his aggressive, tyrannical landlord Bhaskara Pattelar. Thommy obeys all the orders of his master, whether it is to make his own wife sexually available to his master or in killing Pattelar's kindly wife, Saroja. When Pattelar escapes to a jungle, due to his own deeds, Thommy escorts him like a pet. But when Pattelar gets killed Thommy exults in freedom.

Even if I back date my marriage (as advised) , How can I get my future wife to USA?. I cannot get her on depend status as my H1-B (I believe) got canceled on approval of GC.
Issues I see,
1. The back date of marriage must match to my stay at India.
2. I did not visit India in the last one year.
3. I applied my I-485 in the August 2008 time. So (I must mention my marriage and dependents in the application). Which I did not . So this does not work.
See the troubles I have now.
P.S: I did not want to cheat USA Immigration Dept. Not a good practice
Let me know if there are any guanine ways.
I dont have any better idea than what other ppl are suggesting.....But
If i were in your place, i would have arranged register marriage in july itself :) after seeing the august visa bulleting then apply for spouse I-485 on the 1st day of August 08. This solves 2 problems, the one currently u r facing and the other chance of applying I-485 for your spouse. Later, you cud have followed ritual marriage as arranged by your parents....
Best of luck.

You made an extremely important and valid point here...
Such an escalated tone has been established due to various reasons, based on the fact that there is documented evidence of some abuse. It is not to scare every h1b visa holder.
See - people are writing so many posts their their friend is having trouble in h1b , friends friend is having trouble in POE etc... but none of them are original posts. Just look around yourself and your friends - check to see if anyone really got screwed (genuine folks) - there may be some people who got additional grilling and that's it.
People are still traveling everyday and getting stamping and no issues at POE.
Like I said earlier "unless you set the ass on fire those who abuse will not straighten themselves" - greed overtakes any good forward thought.
Senators are not your own country senators and we cannot influence their thoughts or feel bad about what they think about h1b visa. All we do is make a case for ourselves that we are genuine and really interested in following the system.
AFAIK every h1b and GC case has been dealt with on a case to case basis and people who have really followed rules did not have much issues - we continue to follow the system because we believe in it.

I believe Mbhai did a dis-service by negating good advice. What is the guarantee that the 2nd women that this guy marries will not ask for divorce? The best thing he can do is find a way to reconcile, unless there is marital infidility.
I
I disagree with the first part of your statement. There are no guarantees in life. But, giving unsolicited advice especially without knowing what happened in their marital life is no good. Only he and his spouse would know what happened and it is completely up to them to decide what is good for them. He has clearly told in his post that he has given his best and it is at a point of no return. Only people who go thru this grueling experience can understand how hard it is.
140jibjab was merely asking for help with his 485 application and if you can, please advise him on that . If not, please leave him alone.
I am sure I am going to get a lot of red dots for this and so be it.
