Hi Ladies!! I'm back from the rally on Capitol Hill!!! Came back last night...It was absolutely a once in a lifetime experience and am still having goose bumps at having been in front of the Capitol and protested in front of the congress reps..and actually even met one of them...here are some pix http://picasaweb.google.com/preetisi...tember18th2007

Also went to the Smithsonian museums...loved the "Spirit of St Louis" plane and some of the World War II fighter planes...also the space lab and space suits...and some of the astronauts were quite a treat for the eyes... specially the Lindberg chap...he he...

Also loved the Native American museum...it was like peeping into a long lost culture...Got some cool pix at the Natural History museum with all the dino skeletons... the whole natural progression of life over millions of years was extremely interesting...specially the fossils and how they re-created the image of the living being that existed at that time from it...way cool.....

Coming to our monthly get together this month, what would you guys prefer - a potluck get together or the movie Dhamaal.. ??? We could go for the movie this time and have the potluck next month...that way we wont miss out on having a Dhamaal while watching Dhamaal...

What say you??? *am so looking forward to meeting all of you again*

Lotsa love,
Aarushi

Hi Aarushi,

I was wondering how the rally went on. I searched for news articles, but did not find much. The illegal immigrants rally had got a lot of media attention, but the legal immigrants rally did not seem to catch much glare. Anyways, since the rally had a good turnout, hope it's purpose is achieved. Diya must have been the youngest participant in the rally.

The pic's are good. The movie idea works fine with me.

Cheers!

Here are some news items on the rally....enjoy!!

hi all
I am Manju, i joined IL only today. i am here for more than a year now. i am having 6 month old kid.....i am staying in Decatur. love to know if anybody from my area. i am south Indian, Tamilnadu. now my work permit gpt expired, but looking for a job..........confused about renewing my work permit. donno wat do. anybody have idea abt finance jobmarket here. i am actively looking for one.

HI Manju
Welcome to the forum. It is nice to know that there are lots of Tamil people here in Atlanta.

Hi Manju,

Welcome to Indusladies! I was in Decatur for about 2 years sometime back. Used to frequent the library there a lot! Even now we go there on the weekends to the Dekalb Farmer's Market! Love the bakery and fresh fruits..awesome!!

Abt your work permit...I'm a bit confused...can you give more details...because usually your work permit can be extended easily if you are working for the same employer.

As far as finance job market goes, it really depends on your skill set. If you are into accounting, MBA (finance) etc, then yes, you might find a job and an employer to sponsor you. But you will have to look hard. Have you tried Monster, Hotjobs, CareerBuilder etc??

All the best!!

hi aarushi,

hey regd my work permit, i got that last year and i was actively looking for job, but since i had to go india for delivery, i stopped searching for the same. but now itz almost 7 months for my kid so planning to go to job, but my work permit got expired last april. i also saw in the uscis website, and there they hv mentioned that we have to renew the work permit 6 months before the date of expiry. .... i am MBA(finance) and as u told i am confident abt getting job. but the question is how soon. i know my friends who were searching for the jobs got only after some 9 to 12 months of active searching. that too software jobs. so bit confused.getting only sales and marketing job offere which frustrating.......
