Between and Atlas America for covering pre-existing condition, what would you all recommend?
Definitely, Atlas America as it is a comprehensive coverage plan. Where as 's is a fixed coverage plan which only pays a small fraction of the actual expenses.
Altas America covers $15,000 in acute onset of pre-existing conditions, while claims to cover $50,000 in acute onset of pre-existing conditions for $150,000 coverage.
Lets take the example: Person is hospitalized for two days due to acute onset of pre-existing conditions. And the hospital charged $5,000 per day, for a total bill of $10,000. How much would you get covered in each case?
Atlas America: All $10,000 minus the deductible (deductible choices from $0 to $2,500).
KV Rao: $0 That is because the plan covers at $1,900/day for hospitalization. Therefore, the total coverage is $3,800 but you have a $5,000 deductible. Therefore, you get nothing. Tricky, isn't it? It is not what it seems.
Lets say, even for the new condition. You need a surgery that costs $40,000 (not an unrealistic amount). How much would you be covered in case?
Atlas America: All $40,000 minus the deductible that varies from $0 to $2,500.
KV Rao: Even with $150,000 coverage, they cover only $6,000 for surgery. You have to pay $34,000 out of your pocket.
The list goes on regarding how Atlas America is better than KV Rao's.

I want to give some fraud and abuse examples. Unfortunately, there are some bad apples in the H-1B visa program.
From The Grassley Visa Tax (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=191337&postcount=1383) The Wall Street Journal Editorial, November 2, 2007
Department of Labor investigations reveal that some 90% of violations are paperwork offenses and good-faith misunderstandings.

I don't know why but we tend to be satisfied with lsmall benefits...
I agree with you "something (EAD and AP) is better than nothing"
But i bet you ..you will find your self in the same situation of agony and endless waiting for the final Green card.
I bet most of the people don't use your ead and AP as it puts you in a gray "Adjustment of status". They are good to have though. But you will see...how painful it is to decide to use them or not..
What i want to say is that being able to apply for EAD and AP is not the end of the battle..you will be stuck in a depressing situation waiting for the final green card.How do i know? .. I went through it...waiting for GC for the past 4 years.
I dont know its FBI or its just the USCIS incompetence but waiting in the final stage is horrible. Every time you travel you are scared...AP as for as my lawyer goes IT does not guarantee 100% entry in to the country.
After you apply for AP its only 1 year H1 increments.
What i am saying why dont we try for the overall improvement of the GC processing. Why dont we be firm about not wasting the GC numbers and recapturing the unused numbers.
We had a small revolt (peaceful way) and its successful.We dont want to stop there.
LETS FIGHT FOR THE OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF THE GC PROCESSING
I hope you guys are with me..looking for your comments

Go IV Go.
Come on folks, lets start the cleansing work - IV is our organization and lets help IV help us.
Just imagine $220 million as back wages in FY 2007 http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/statistics/200712.htm
This is a widespread problem.
I have gone through the procedure and trust me it is easier than filling out your own tax return or for that matter I-765. All it needs is very basic information about the employer. Moreover when the DOL audits the employer on the basis of a complaint they don't give out the name of the person filing the complaint. They go to the employer's place of employment and tell him to show all the records for all the employees for the last five (I guess) years and if they determine abuse then everybody who was not paid gets his wages.

Called all of them today morning. Requested the house reps to co-sponsor the 3 bills. It will be more effective if more constituents (or even CA residents) call in, rather non-constituents like me calling in.
Some of the offices did mention that they received lots of calls regarding the support for the 3 bills. Good going folks..
CA folks pl step it up

As I said in the preface of the list, the bigger objective here is to take certain steps, including proper documentation (e.g. points 2, 3, 4 and 5), in order to maintain PR status. Besides, you never know what documents you would be asked to produce, given that the citizenship process involves more extensive background checks than the GC process. Also, having a log of exit/entry details (point #5) should help quickly fill out Part 7 of the citizenship form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400.pdf).
almost 1735 days away from N400.the form looks very long. is there again a long line for it?

USCIS
Nebraska Service Center
850 S Street

I did not see any PO Box on the Fedex tracking sheet. I am not sure if she put the PO Box on the shipping label or not??
Is it a big deal?? Will my application be accepted.
Please help

Thats why it was sent to the PHYSICAL ADDRESS of USCIS.

H1B descrimination - Fighting it legally ?
Are you kidding me. How can you fight it illegaly.:D:D:D
The question is who will fight it. Lawyer website are posting information. But none of them have filed a lawsuit if they really cared about this issue.

Hi
It is really frustrating that some people instead of volunturing for effort tries to find loop hole or excueses in the IV's efforts. If you can not volunteer atleast support those who are doing that with lots of energy and determination for our cause.
Utlimately at a one day WILL WILL FIND A WAY.
If we are willing to help ourselves than only this thing will happen.
So keep faith in IV core and its efforts and be supportive to their efforts whenever you can.
IV CORE- Please ignore messages from some of the members and KEEP your ENERGY and EFFORTS towards our ULTIMATE GOAL AND MISSION. You all are doing an excellent work.

EB3 India is in a bad shape because of lot of backlog. I do not see relief for people with latter PD in many years to come.
EB2 India is also not expected to have good movement for the next few months.
So people who spend time on sites to track are wasting their time in my opinion.
IV is people affected and not just core members. Core members , chapter leaders also have their own jobs that pays salary and life and each one of us can only devote so much time to IV. The best strategy for all of us is to work on resolving the problem and not leave it for others to deal with it.
What each member can do:
1- Take part in IV action items. We currently have a couple of bills. There is a slim chance with this bills if only we can get more cosponsors and get CHC support.
2- Raise awareness of IV. More members will mean more people will take part in our campaigns.
3- Contribute to IV. We have a funding drive that is currently begging for attention. With meager funds we cannot even afford to do our limited lobbying.
4- Be an active IV member: If nothing at else, be regular on IV. More visitors on IV means more revenue for IV from banner ads. This revenue is used towards lobbying and website maintenance expenses. Other sites with banner ads use that money for their own, but IV uses that money for lobbying. Several thousand visitors everyday means a good amount of money generated via ad revenue ( I could not believe it when I heard it the first time). If you like tracking, then use IV tracker and help make it successful. PLEASE Put your real dates in your profile.Money from ads on it will be used for our lobbying .
5- Develop state chapters furthers. members can get active and build their state chapters further themselves. It can be great for making friends and networking too. We want to develop this further and need member's help.
6- Do not leave IV when you get your greencard. IV is a community and be a part of it. Help others who are suffering like you yourself suffered once. When we have lot of greencard holder members, we can even expand the scope of our work and include items like 'I140 approval date should be counted as a date for 5 year citizenship eligibility' etc...
7- Consider IV as your home and join the effort in whichever way you can. Bring in new ideas and take leadership to implement them.
Pappu,
Thanks for the post and your time!
1. "PLEASE Put your real dates in your profile" There is no provision to put dates for CP filers!! All the dates are for 485 filers.
Though it is proven time and again that CP filers are the least needed people on this forum (next to EB3 I - going by this thread), it is unfair not reserving few columns on the profile for CP filers ... It doesn't cost VISA numbers for that...
2. I have told this before but would like to repeat now... I don't contribute because there is nothing for CP filers here. VISA recapturing is the only effort that would benefit CP filers but anyway the chances of that bill passing is close to 0.
In my opinion, the biggest sufferers are people in EB3 India or China and who have opted for CP (now guys, don't start lecturing on CP vs. 485. We have heard it enough).
EB2 India is also not expected to have good movement for the next few months.

I like your response, really -- I think it's frank and hits upon what it means to be Indian at heart.
BUT, when one makes a decision to immigrate - he/she's not just making that decision for himself - but also for his/her spawns and the future generations to come. Is it fair for us to rob them of (well, i know most american born desi kids don't care a rats ass about going/being in India) - what it feels to be an Indian at Heart? what it 'Really' feels like to be watching/talking cricket/movies on 'em gullies, what it's like to be eating gaadi chaat, what a festival should really feel/look like .. and a bunch of other stuff- -that happens only in India.
not trying to discount anyone's opinions .. it's just the internal dilemma that needs addressing
all excellent points by Vikram and american desi!
I personally think that many of us take the issue of citizenship less seriously than it ought to be........also some of us also seem to confuse the National & Historical identity ( being a Citizen of India) and the Cultural identity (street food, cricket matches, Hindi movies etc.)
Re - the original post - i dont agree that becoming a US citizen is an achievement - a test of your patience and diligence in going through the onerous process - yes, achievement - no. getting a US citizenship in no way makes anyone a better human being or a more accomplished professional - so not an achievement.
in about 4 years or so - i would be at a decision point of whether to take US Citizenship or not......i dont think I am mentally ready to relinquish my Indian passport....to me it represents a 5,000 year old civilization with rich history and heritage and yet in many ways a young country poised to take the leap into its rightful place among the community of nations.....if it works out i would like to go back and be a part of that leap but even if i am here..when that happens - i would want to be able to proudly wear my Indian identity (and if I am a US citizen and still try to wear the Indian national identity - it would make me a hypocrite!).......
Some food for thought - Laxmi Mittal and Amartya Sen carry Indian Passports!
PS: I am willing to concede that i may be singing a different tune in 4 years
