As forewarned by the original poster - it's not for the weak of heart.
Other disclaimers that should be added:
- Be prepared to lose a LARGE chunk of what you "invest"
- It's *really* not an investment in the typical sense of the term - generally equated with the buy-and-hold patterns.
- If indulging in it yourself, be prepared to be *very disciplined* and devote a good chunk of your time. This is *MORE* than a part-time job.
- I would seriously advise anyone considering this to use "play money" (paper trade, simulations, whatever... ) for a while before playing with real money.
- Most advertised "trading systems" that guarantee perfect market timing will inevitably result in you surrendering your hard-earned $$ to the street.
- If the only exposure you have to trading is through the media, or worse - through hollywood - reconsider.
- Once again: the risks are far greater than you can imagine, and may have an appetite for. Nevertheless, the odds are way better than gambling & lottery.
If you're still willing to give it a serious consideration - best of luck!

(1) I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
through Day trading??
(2) It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
(3) Now lets Play !!!!!
Have you just tried to sell Day trading to IVians?? LMAO. I am sorry but I disagree that Day trading is an investment. Day trading is risky business and one needs plush amounts of cash as SIPC/SEC will not release the money on the same day. Don't even get me started on the margin accounts.
I agree with (2) and would also like to point out that the risks are also substantial. One can get addicted to day trading and I dont need to tell what addiction can do to any one. It needs time during work hours. ie 9 30 am and 4 30 pm. A lot of people did day trading during the dot com boom and recently with FRE & FNM. We know the results.
While you might have taken refuge in day trading for the stress immigration has caused, it can be a serious double whammy/nightmare if the calculations go wrong.
All said, if you feel that there is enough money to be made and normal Joe Bloggs can cope up with the pressure, please share your thoughts in detail.

i am not baniya... in fact i lament the fact that i am not a baniya... i am a pure bred brahmin with high education, my entire family is highly educated till my family tree can be traced... they are all people who did noble things for God, kings etc... but i am aspiring to be a big time baniya... this last century and present time is a capitalist period... baniyas rock! they rule! if i had wealth, i would never share it... i will simply find ways to make other people slightly happy so that they keep buying my products/services... hail baniyaism
Baniya's are most generous people in India .Go look for any tample trust or other charitable organisation.Yes they are business minded people.

This is the most insane reason i can think of.GC itself is a distant dream leave alone citizenship...and Aging parents...do you really know if they want to reside in this country here permenantly.3-4 months are over and they just want to escape from here coz they just dont like.And some mean children bring their parents to do nursery/take care of their children as free home nannies with paid airfare,boarding and lodging with food.
That is not the case with me. My kid goes to day care and I always keep it that way. As far as them being happy here is concerned then yes I would agree they won't have much social interaction here as they have right now living in small town in India. But for me, as I am sure with many others the choice is not simple. Either I let them live alone where I am not there to take care of them or have them live with us here and they would rather choose the latter.
Anyways, I think we should not take this thread into another direction.

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
This is the link from 95-2001
http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/visa_bulletin/
there was retrogression in 99, but after the recapture of numbers under ac21, there was no retrogression from july 2001 till 2005
Chronography of facts
EB was current from AUGUST 1999 until April 2000.
This warning was issued in the March 2000 VB:
VISA AVAILABILITY FOR APRIL(2000)
�Demand for immigrant visa numbers by INS for AOS cases in all categories, continues to be steady but has not reached the level requiring action at this time. It is anticipated that INS demand for numbers will require the establishment of visa cut-off dates for April in some or all of the CHINA-mainland born and INDIA Employment categories�.
In May 2000. EB2 was retrogressed to 01JUL97 for China and 01APR99 for India
In December 2000 VB the big announcement came:
Greater availability of EB immigrant visas: On October 17th, the President signed P.L. 106-313. Title I of this law is known as the "American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000" and contains amendments to the INA regarding EB immigrant visas.
In fiscal years 1999 and 2000, due in part to the per-country limits, the annual limit for EB immigrant visas was not reached. P.L. 106-313 makes the following changes in an attempt to rectify the situation with regard to per-country limits:
Section 106 recaptures those EB visa numbers that were available but not used in fiscal years 1999 and 2000, creating a "pool" of approximately 130,000 numbers. These numbers could be made available to applicants in the EB1, EB2 and EB3 preference categories beginning in fiscal year 2001.
Section 104 removes the per-country limit in instances where the overall applicant demand for EB visas is less than the numbers available without regard to those limits. This determination will be made quarterly, based on a comparison of the overall demand versus the available numbers. If the total number of available EB visas is greater than the number of qualified applicants who may otherwise be issued such visas (during the same period), the per-country limitations on EB visas will be lifted for the remainder of that quarter.
In May 2001 EB2 became current again for both India and China.
July 2001 VB:
EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCE CATEGORIES:
All categories have become "Current" for July, and are expected to remain so for the remainder of FY-2001. The cut-off date movement in all oversubscribed categories has been extremely rapid during the past year. This is because the FY-2001 limit is approximately 50,000 higher than normal, and legislative changes removed the per-country limitation if there are otherwise unused EB numbers available.
All categories are expected to remain "Current" for the foreseeable future.
January 2005 VB
OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF EB3 FOR CHINA, INDIA, AND THE PHILPPINES
June 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
During the past month there has been a significant increase in the amount of numbers being used by CIS offices for AOS applicants. This level of demand has significantly depleted the supply of EB numbers available under the annual limit. Recent discussions with CIS have made it clear that their backlog reduction efforts will sustain or increase the current level of demand. Therefore, continued visa availability in the EB categories cannot be guaranteed during the final quarter of FY-2005. If demand continues at the current rate, it will be necessary to oversubscribe many or all of the EB categories on a Worldwide basis. Such oversubscription could result in the establishment of cut-off dates, retrogression of already established dates, or some categories becoming �unavailable�.
July 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY FOR JULY AND THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
EB3 and Third Other Worker categories have reached their annual limits and no further FY-2005 allocations are possible for the period July through September.
September 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING FY-2006
The backlog reduction efforts of both CIS, and the DOL continue to result in very heavy demand for EB numbers. It is anticipated that the amount of such cases will be sufficient to use all available numbers in many categories. As a result cut-off dates in the EB3 category will apply to the China, India, and Philippines chargeabilities beginning in October, and it is possible that Mexico may be added to this list. In addition, it is anticipated that heavy demand will require the establishment of a EB3 cut-off date on a Worldwide basis by December.
The amount of Employment demand for applicants from China and India is also likely to result in the oversubcription of the EB1 and B2 categories for those chargeability areas. The establishment of such cut-off dates is expected to occur no later than December.
The level of demand in the Employment categories is expected to be far in excess of the annual limits, and once established, cut-off date movements are likely to be slow.
October 2005 VB:
EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILTIY
Item D in the September VB announcing the September cut-off dates provided information regarding the prospects of visa availability during the early months of FY-2006. Many categories have become oversubscribed for October, and cut-off dates established due to continued heavy demand for numbers by CIS for adjustment of status cases. Forward movement of the cut-off dates in these categories is likely to be limited.
And IV was born.
Have a nice weekend.

I am in the same situation. I efiled on 05/14 and sent docs on 05/19. Got FP notice for wife only - that came almost 10 days back. No FP notice for me...My PD is same as urs.. not sure why did they not send FP notice for primary applicant?
Anyone else experienced this? Primary applicant not getting fingerprint notice after EAD e-file?
Did anyone get efiled EAD approval without fingerprints?

that the current application processing range is 6-10 months after filing. Given the current economic conditions, it would be beneficial to see the application approved rather than worry about delays.
Yes.
1. For perm applications which are not audited the processing time is about 225 days (from perm filed date)
2. For perm applications which are audited the processing time is about 600 days (from perm filed date)

vparam, i've been following this issue a lot longer...you have to understand the blue slip is just procedural....the main substantive issue is what proposal can attract maximum republican support during conference. The Hastert doctrine (majority of majority rule) states he will not bring to the floor a proposal thet does not attract a majority of republican votes (116 votes). Pence is a star conservative (has a 100% rating from the American Conservative Union) and is a rising leader in the Republican Party. The Pence proposal is gaining strong visibility now and he is going to introduce his bill this week. Tancredo recognizes Pence's standing among repubs and that is why he's asking his minions to attack it.

The whole retrogression is very depressing if you were to look at numbers and predictions based on the numbers. This is the reason we need to work harder and contribute our time and money for this effort. If we cannot do it this year, then we can easily forget getting a greencard for the next 2 years and more. There will be no immigration bill next year due to presidential election.
This is all the more reason for us to go all out and get the immigration bill passed this year itself. We need all members to help in this effort. We have a strong membership of around 8500 members we can count on for support. However it is sad that only 154 members have thus far contributed in the past 1 week despite all the effort to raise funds. IV is prepared to go all out and get the work done, the question is ARE YOU?
I think we are not reaching all the ppl that we can as of yet. If we can setup booths in front of Indian Community centers in various cities, post flyers at Indian grocery stores etc, we would be able to reach a much wider audience. I think we might be reaching the maximum number of ppl that would contribute who are browsing this web site. No amount of requests would get non-contributers to contribute. So, probably the efforts should be concentrated on getting newer members from outside...

Retrogression in Various Steps of the GC process
While January 2005 was the first time since July 2001 there was retrogression for the EB-3 category (01/01/02 for both China and India), the US continues to maintain protectionism through their immigration system.
Retrogression in Labor Certification: Between 2002 and 2005, there was severe retrogression as far as labor certifications were concerned. Then came the PERM in March 2005 and for a couple of years, they boasted labor certification with 3 to 6 months time. Of late I think it is taking more than 6 months for LC approvals even through PERM.
Retrogression in I-140 Approvals: I do not remember when the USCIS suspended the premium processing for I-140 but even before they did that, they managed protectionism by delaying the approval of I-140. As per some one's posting, it is now taking 14 months for an I-140 approval.
Retrogression of I-485 Approvals: Post July 2007 VB, even a 1st year engineering student from India, studying the American immigration system, can tell you it could take years (not the current 6-9 months processing time) for approval of I-485s. The delay in approving an I-485 petition is not subject to the the July 2007 Visa Bulletin alone, it cannot also escape 'protectionism-tainted' FBI name check delay.
I may sound like quite a pessimist, but add to all this the possible denials for PLC (permanent labor certification), I-140, EAD, AP & I-485s.

You have a nice attorney
Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.

If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.
Well, I was saying "at least". So if goes for 2 years to clear pre-PERM backlogs, I would not be surprised. ;)

He didn't give my H1 paper to me and gave me a copy of it.
