With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.
I started discussion by asking , how can IV convince me that my donation is going to help, I got shot down by ARROGANT ******** and got all reds as if I care. I was planning on a charity/donation drive of my own to get some money for IV.
Know lot of consultants, who really dont know what to do with their miles with every one a executive airline status.
Already have 10+ people pledging Poker tournament from my poker group with their miles for Airlines and hotels. We are talking of a Million AA miles.
Indian restaurants(s) having a Immigration week where a dollar of each bill be given to IV.
I was even thinking of standing at Indian stores in Dallas to ask people to consider for IV cause, as long as I believed and hence was asking.
I was just getting started with so many ideas for my free time.
Good luck in what ever you do guys. Note that GC is not everything and note that I am still on extended H1, family on H1 and EAD never helped me. so assumption that EAD helped my life is baseless. All these hypocrites are long gone from IV once they get GC. All we get is response that Mr X or Y , even after getting GC, is working fro cause. How can I believe.
Any organization can be successful if there are questions answered and not shot down. Just working at DC doesnt make some one a strong contributor for IV.Work at grass root level is so imp. What I have noticed is any one who went to DC has become headstrong, egoist and arrogant as if they own IV.
Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one
Gisa pita dialogue,...dont ask what IV has done,, ask yourself what you have done... COMMON
Here it is, I can write in BOLD and RED
Your argument doesn�t make sense at all. All are lame excuses at best. If you want to see what people are doing, you need to start work with people, see and believe. We cannot give you the notarized copy of certificate. You cannot sit on the fence and ask people to convince. As I said earlier no one is getting paid for what we are doing and no one is doing any favor for others either.
Dont waste everyone's time with your useless arguments. If you really want to do something, start the campaign for whatever you believe and if its really worth people will follow you.

For once, I disagree with you macaca. If someone is not being paid, it is not considered valid employer-employee relationship. Otherwise, what is the need for showing pay stubs during the green card process?
Not being paid when on this so-called desk should be a violation of the intent of the H1B, and if there is a loophole that allows such a thing, it needs to be filled.
I am saying that it is not illegal according to USCIS laws. You are saying it is unethical. I agree it is unethical!

From what I understand, a conference committee is generally only formed once major difference have been ironed out in the back rooms. In fact the conference committee will only be formed to make the process formal. Again Senate majority leader Bill Frist had talked about the formation of the committee immediately after they came back from recess. That time is far gone. Given this situation it seems that there are some very serious differences that have cropped up. Taking the risk of sounding pessimistic it appears that momentum gained by all the headlines seems to be losing steam and the issue seems to be slowly disappearing from national attention. This can have both a positive and negative impact. The positive impact is that legislators will find it easy to do their work. The negative impact is that legislators will maintain status quo as that is what they like doing. For those opposed to the bill it is better that CIR bill is not taken up now as it still serves their purpose. For us it is always better that something happens to the CIR bill.

On my wife's labor certificate, it is said her position requires a minimum of master degree. But the alternate is bachelor degree plus 2 years' experience. The lawyer has filed I-140 under EB2.
We are worried that this position does not qualify EB2 because we read on the internet that EB2 requires master degree or bachelor plus at least 5 years' progressive experience. We called the lawyer and said we heard from a friend such a case had been denied. She was very busy and just said there was no problem to apply for Eb2, and if we doubt it, we can hire our friend as a lawyer. We are so pissed off.
Can someone help me clarify if this position is qualified for EB2? do we need to change it to Eb3?
Thanks.

I had similar question, this bill has the most co-sponsors, and probably the most viable one as well. Why don't we urge the congressman support this bill???[/SIZE]

I recently got my passport renewed for expiring 10 yr old passport. It took 2-3 weeks in SFO consulate. I have had to deal with this consulate 2 times, one for making my old passport ECNR and once for renewing passport. I found them courteous and very prompt. When I went the first time, the lady asked me if I had any emergency and if she could help me with something as I had gone to the consulate in the afternoon when they are closed for business, which is nice of them.
Two questions, last year when I entered US the officer at POE gave me I-94 which was equal to my passport end date. Subsequently I got my passport renewed and my company also filed an amendment to my H1. Now on new H1 my I94 is valid until 11/2009. My question is, based on my old H1, do I need to go out of the country?
Second question is, In my old passport there are 2 valid US visas, 10 Yr B1 and 3 yr H1. How do I get them on to new passport?

This post should be in a very prominent place (like About Us etc.) on this website.
The poster has not only made it abundantly clear about the reason for IV's existence but also made it plenty clear about what they have done and more importantly learnt in the past 5 years.
I have been visiting this site on/off for the past couple years and didn't know half of it.
We are spinning in circles here and it is like reinventing the wheel. This is THE grassroots org �THAT you want to set-up. already set up to achieve exactly that � YES, YES �We want Congress to introduce a bill to reduce backlogs. The core goal of IV is to have a bill that has our provisions. That is exactly what this organization was set up to achieve. You seem to be a newcomer to this struggle. Have you followed IV from 2005 Dec when a buch of members got together on some other forums and watched helplessly as good provisions (that were meant to allievate our troubles) were taken out at the last minute from a bill during debate.
Since then we have tried and tried and frankly have matured enough to understand that the politics of the immigration issue is complex and any standalone bill �just for us- has no chance.
Our provisions have to be clubbed with all the rest of the minor and major groups � that want reform. There is the nurses lobby, the doctors, the illegal lobby, the dream activists, and many other fringe groups, they all want their issues to be addressed. The anti-immigrants are a big opposition to any small relief that comes up in debate. NOW- We have learnt that we need to work with all these groups, form alliances and lobby hard to get a bill that has more support.
If you go meet with your lawmakers you will understand that our issue is a miniscule little piece of a bigger issue of Immigration. And different varying and sometimes opposing groups have to be accommodated. The politics of immigration is convulted with different factions of the society wanting different things � Our little issue is straightforward and we enjoy a lot more support for our provisions, unfortunately we were clearly told that we have to be clubbed with these other groups when it comes to seeking a bill for reform. We are being held hostage also by the Hispanic lobbyists, that feel that if smaller bills come up and are passed, there will be no apetite for their bigger issue of legalizing a big core of mostly Hispanic illegal immigrants.
FOR A RECAP- after this administration came into office �Jan 09- We had hopes and were promised that CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) will be taken up, if that fails then smaller bills will be allowed to be taken up. If you have watched the developments carefully �There was never a time and a lot of groups including IV lobbied and lobbied hard to be heard and to get a bill but- the legislative calendar with so much other priorities had no space for any immigration bill this year. After the healthcare bill, Nobody has had any energy for a big controversial bill.
Long story-short is YES, we want a bill (either clubbed with others) or amendments inserted into a bill- But have not been able to get it done.
The reason for this failure is us- IV Members. We have not met our lawmakers in the numbers that are important to make an impact. We have to do it every month- building pressure to get a positive sympathetic response. Now some members (including yours truly) have gone and met our respective lawmakers more than 6-8 times in the last year, but that is again not enough, that is just 20-25 odd members compared to total IV Strength of 40,000members. It has to be an ongoing effort, just like the dream activisits have done, they meet with lawmakers regularly, highlight their frustrations and are open to media �giving interviews and keeping their issue alive in the limelight.
IV has come up with specific recommendations for what we would like to see in a bill/s for our community. IV actively analyses any bill that comes up or has a chance to come up for debate. If you want to get your hands on that document, contact Anu or Pappu and ask for the IV_Advocacy package.
We do have a paid lobbying firm that represent our interests and educates lawmakers. This is not enough, because during debates lawmakers behave as if they do not have highly skilled immigrants in their constituency and so do not have to pay attention. This is mainly IV members fault, since we have not been able to visit lawmakers offices in the numbers that we should. Our members need to show up at lawmakers offices and educate them. Tell them you live in their constituency and represent IV so that when the lobbying firm does their work, they are paying attention and our voices are not ignored or drowned.
Individual members need to be open, honest, and courageous enough to talk to their lawmakers and media about issues we face. Just crying and debating on IV's website does not help. Talk about introducing a bill for us to your lawmakers � not here on IV.

USCIS does not differentiate US or Indian degrees.. Yes US degree has its own advantages... It more than just LEARNING...
Education is a bigger word than learning... Institutions can impart learning only... You can be highly learned with big degrees... still not educated :-)
Take a chill pill friends... Degree is important to USCIS like MPG (miles per gallon) to Car.. as its a basis to compare different entities :-)

Oh !! I see then to approve for a 2001/2002/2003 485 case , every month USICS needs to make the VB current on 15 and take back to on 30 ....
Not necessarily that they have to make it current as the retrogression kicked in only @ 2005 Jan, so none with PD 2005 or later has their petition pending at this time at least in EB2/3 category. Also in 2004 there was not PERM and folks filed for Labor, except in certain states like Iowa, etc... Were waiting for labors somewhere between 6-10 months minimum. Mine took more than 2 years. So the I-485 petition pending, latest PD most likely could have PD�s up to June/July 2004 for EB2/3 category. So if they set the cutoff date Dec 2003 or Jan/Jun 2004 they will have sufficient petitions that are already processed and ready for approval, If they do not want to loose the visa numbers. I don�t understand the logic behind the VB, that visa availability showing current for all categories.. Had they bumped the Cut-Off date by 6 months at a time for each month or even a year, this might not have been so bad.

If anyone whose PD is earlier than mine, i truly apologize. Its not me, its USCIS. I have seen PDs same as mine getting approved 2 yr ago.
Stay tight and believe in yourself NOT USCIS.
Congrats! My wife's PD is close as yours. No update yet. ND is same. 2nd week of October.

Good timeline.
Point 4.: USCIS has no need to inform DoS that all visa numbers are used. As DoS is the visa control authority it very well knows the status; in fact is the only one who knows the latest tally. USCIS can only ask DoS "how many remaining" to finish their game!
So is it possible that the following was USCIS' plan all along in a bid to (1) force applicants to pay the higher fees and (2) reduce the number of applications they would receive. So let's try and see where USCIS or DOS acually broke the law. BTW, the following is pure speculation on my part.
1. DOS makes all categories current in the visa bulletin dated June 12.
2. This screws up USCIS's plans. So they have to force the DOS to issue a revision before July 1st.
3. USCIS frantically starts requesting visa numbers. Even for 485s with pending FBI checks.
4. Come July 2nd, USCIS still hasn't used up all the 60,000 or so numbers, but still informs DOS that all visa numbers have been exhausted.
5. DOS publishes a revised visa bulletin dated July 02 where everthing becomes unavailable.
6. USCIS acts on DOS revised visa bulletin and decides to reject all I-485s filed on July 02 and beyond.
7. July 05 onwards, USCIS starts returning the numbers to DOS. This could be for applications that have pending FBI checks.
8. DOS now decides to use some caution before issuing August bulletin. They will probably not make all categories current, but will probably shift them by a few months based on June bulletin.
9. USCIS now gets all new applications with higher fees and a reduced number of applications.
Please add to this sequence of events if you think I missed anything.
IMHO, USCIS broke the law in #4. And DOS broke the law in #5 if it was aware that visa numbers were still being issued as of July 02.
Thanks,
Jayant
