    Hi Guys,

    I noticed recently a lot of people have the status of "Donor" instead of "Senior Member", "Member", Junior Member etc.

    How does one become a "Donor". I have donated to IV SEVERAL times in the past.

    Can you take sometime to fill in your profile?

    I would like to add some points where America is loosing

    1) Less number of students are willing to come to USA as they are not seeing any future due to H1 lottery system and they have to wait for one year to apply in the 20K category as they getting rjections in applie din april as they will be graduating in june timeframe.Students are not getting jobs as there are very few companies ready to sponser them.So a long time career settlement options for students is diminishing here in USA as they cannot get GC in 2-3 year timeframe and lot of companies are not interested in wasting their resources on H1 and then applying GC for prospective students.So all these student with bright ideas are looking elsewhere like australia,germany,Uk for their education and reasearch and residency.So american is loosing their future research scientists to other countries.


    2) Career Advancement :

    Lot of H1bs converted to EAD are facing these issues, they are not able to plan for their future properly as they are not sure when they will get their GC and the moves they are making now is it acceptable to USCIS, will the next job fall into the same category as Labour or USCIS will accept the career advancment theory.So they are in jeopardy weather to take a new job and take chance or stick on to the old job.As due to this issue even though he may be dreaming of biggest technological breakthrough/Biggest supply chain enhancement/ reveloutionaly marketing spin off , he will not dare to realize his dream as he himself is not sure of his position here in US, which in turn might have helped thousands of people gaining employment and in turn helping economy.So this constant issue of settlement may force the propective employer to leave his brilliant idea and move back to his home country.

    3) Peer pressure:
    As GC applicants are not able cherish their dream in the applicable timeframe they are constantly exposed to peer pressure to look out for other avenues for their career growth and settlement.

    I have talked to a representative and he very patiently explained me about the mess.
    He clearly and very clearly told me that they have a deadline to send all receipts for June end and July 2nd filers by friday (tomorrow) or worst case monday.

    He mentioned that they are working hard to meet this deadline.
    Hope this clears the anxiety.

    This is true for NSC only.

    When do you think would EB2-I hit Feb 2005? Before this year end?

    Perhaps not. With many I140 getting approved, there are always chances of dates going back instead of moving forward.

    I can think of average movement of one or two months moving forward per quarter. The two bills in pipeline can ease this situation:
    1. Removing country quota
    2. Recapturing of unallocated GC Visas

    >> Although 30,000 people are IV members

    Update:
    18,344 members have zero post.
    21,807 members have zero or 1 post.
    27,370 members have zero to 10 posts.

    That should give an idea how many members are really "active" on IV.

    Though IV core is doing a wonderful job as volunteers, no wonder why there is why there are only few active participants. I have asked my friends to join IV (some of them already joined during '07) they say that it is occupied by few senior members and anyone speaks against them or come up with any suggestions, they will

    --> update the profile ( I feel that they should update)
    --> contribute time and MONEY and there are many seniors who do not update their profile and still didn't donated a dollar....
    --> If you speak up loud, you are an anti- and criticize until you leave the thread...

    They say that it has become hangout joint for few and they rule...no suggestions from new comers are entertained here...IV is just depending on CIR which is known to fail from all fronts and IV is not working towards smaller bills....

    Thanks, we expect some of the offices will say this. There can be lot of answers to this question. One way to respond is -

    "For last 10 years there has been no High-skilled immigration bill passed by the Congress. The world has changed in last 10 years. I understand that the Senator is a champion for creating more jobs in America. Employment based green cards will create jobs in America. I want to start my own company and hire people in America. But I cannot do that if I don't have a green card.

    I would sincerely request you to please convey to the Senator if he would consider supporting some version of the immigration bill
    giving more weight to green cards and creating jobs in America, or maybe the Senator could lead the effort for improving the proposal"


    Please always end the call on a cordial note thanking the Staff member.

    This makes perfect sense, and thanks for the suggestion, it definitely came to use when I called the office today.

    When my statement was put in this angle, Sen. Brown, Sen Greg, Sen McConnell's office took note of it, and thanked me. I told them that immigration is being held hostage with words like amnesty, and if such rhetoric is taken out, common solutions can be found between reps and dems.

    I think I have been very lucky so far. I don't think USCIS processes based on anything concrete, I think it's a little random. Or maybe I am just lucky.

    I applied for PERM in Sep 2006 - EB3 - India.
    I got approved for PERM in Mar 2007.

    I applied for I-140 and I-485 concurrently in Jun 2007.
    I-140 got approved July 20, 2007 and on July 23, 2007 I received all 4 receipts for I-140, I-485, EAD and AP. So my approval came before my receipt. I live in California so everything went to Nebraksa.

    Lawyers emailed saying they also received the EAD card yesterday July 23, 2007.

    Now I have to wait for only AP and Adjustment. And I still have 5 years left on my H1-B (2 years on this visa and then another extension).

    So I say, anything is possible. I wake up every morning and pray to USCIS because they made my life better :) :) :)



    POSSIBLE ONLY IF YOU APPLIED UNDER EB1 ..IMPOSSIBLE FOR EB3 CATEGORY(EVEN ROW).. AND EB2(RETROGRESSED COUNTRIES)..

    WHATEVER MENTIONED ABOVE IS IMPOSSIBLE

    Is IV a big organization ? Yes. Definitely. With more than 20K members it is a big org.

    But what transparency do you or we need about contribution money ?

    Overall I had not seen monthly contribution going more than 2 - 3 K per month in last 3 years. And I think that would be enough to maintain the server and software cost, that too if spend very carefully. Cause we have more threads than contributions and it does costs to maintain and keep servers / Software up.

    Now ask yourself ! ! !

    Do I need to know the expenditure report ? My answer would be NO.

    well said.

    sbmallik, could explain how interfile works and process; is it similar to I485 ?!
    Good news!! Next step is to file I-140 (is your employer filing in premium processing?) and upon approval, interfile with the existing I-485 application to port the priority date.

    I don't know if anybody has noticed it but the dates for EB-2 for VB October 2007 was April 1, 2004 and for VB October 2008 is April 1, 2003. That is a retrogression of 1 year - not good. :mad:
    You see in the real world everything moved 1 year ahead from October 2007 to October 2008. So in USCIS world also it moved by 1year.

    This is specifically for those people who have never contributed but feel like contributing but for some reason hesitate to pull the trigger. For all such people who start a monthly contribution of $50 and promise (not to me or anyone else but themselves) to keep contributing for at least the next 6 months, I am going to make a one-time contribution of $50 for every such person. I have a modest upper limit, which I will disclose after the first 10 new contributors.

    So people, Sept 18th is approaching fast and IV needs your contribution. Now is the time.

    The only requirement is that the member has never contributed before and starts a $50 dollar recurring contribution. For every two new contributors I will make a $100 one-time contribution. Moderators may verify my contribution.

    Note: The following was added at 9:06 EST on 09/12/2007

    OR

    For every $100 one time contribution by first time contributors I will match $25.00

    I am just a reader of IV but this article made me to reply and below are my thoughts regarding the PM

    > This might take atleast 6 months to get signoff (IF aproved by everyone)

    > This will impact only the I-140 that are still pending approval

    > I assume people who recently applied (mostly in past 1 year) for I140 has to go through this process. So this filters lot of people who applied for GC's longitme back.

    > Mine i140 is already approved so I think i wil not be impacted

    > Also this is applicable for "Exceptional Ability" only (I did a search the entire PDF and not find anything that talked about advacned degree)

    > So every one who has masters degree in US will be considerd as Advanced degree and will not be impacted (See this article http://www.callyourlawyers.com/pdfcaselaw/eb2memo.pdf[/url] Note: This is not officially release d by USCSIS)

    > I looked at my I140 approval and it clearly says "Advance Degree or Exceptional Ability". I have Master degree from a Sate Universtiy so I think I am covered

    > So if anyone whose application is still penidng they might want to confirm with their attorney to see if it said "Advance Degree or Exceptional Ability" OR "Advance Degree and Exceptional Ability" OR "Advance Degree" OR "Exceptional Ability"

    > If "or" i think you shold be ok as you can opt for advacned degree. However "Exceptional Ability" might have to show proof "IF" they do not get approval by the time this memo goes live ( I mean if this gets approved)

    > I am pretty sure most of them wil have advanced degree but just to make you might want to confirm with your attorney

    Thanks

    Hi Folks,

    I am here for the past 10 years, 2003 I changed my H1 company and they applied my GC on EB3 , and again I missed the 2007 fiasco. because my Mother was ailing and have to rush to our Mother land India, and I lost my Mother too. Unfortunately last time when I applied for the H1 extension on Sept 2009, they were just implementing the client Relationship stuff without any notice, I could produce the client letter and agreement even though my I-140 is approved, they gave only 1 year extension, this Sept 2010, I again have to extend my H1,if I did not get my EAD by that time.

    In this times, two things are possible, One is a CIR, introduced in Senate and it passes with necessary vote, at this political situation it is most unlikely, and also if CIR fails then all our legal immigration will be passed as piece meal amendments. and the Visa recapture happens, Otherwise President, Senate and Congress together should know the situation we are all in and they take a decision on EB category, mind you, Legal immigration is blocked politically by Illegal Immigrants!. or USCIS should feel the back log reason, because of the 2000 amendment all our people back home coming as familes (nothing against them! everyone moves to greener pastures and good opportunity). In US, even if we are the most highly educated, all these carrer hike and promotion stuff goes by business situation, and as we all know US is still on recovery phase as far as economy is concerned, So be patient at least this year or next year some good news for all of us. Praying for all here in this situation. This is not a Problem, this is a Situation, even this will Pass away.

    May GOD Bless

    THIS IS VALID ONLY IF THE CIR BILL BECOMES A LAW IN ITS CURRENT FORM....

    From what I know (largely due to the posts on these forums), if your I-140 was not filed by May 15th 2007, you will have to reapply for your GC in the new system.

    LC or I-485 is not relevant here. The cutoff date is determined by your I-140 filing date.

    Also, between May 15th 2007 and October 1st 2008 (likely), no new I-140s can be applied. Thus, it would make no sense to apply for a LC either. USCIS will only process backlogged I-485 cases and issue green cards.

    Finally, it is really unfair for them to set this cutoff date retroactively. But it is legal for them to do this. Can't sue them for it.

    Hope this clears things.

    Thanks,
    Jayant


    But this generally applies to people affected by retrogression. If one isn't affected by retrogression, applies for I-140 after 5/15/2007 and gets green card before 10/1/2008 (which is possible) then that person should be ok, is that right?

    First there was celebration by Atlanta center people and BEC people when visa fiasco happened. They rejoiced that since they cannot file I485, others should not be able to do so too as if this is some divine justice. When this was not sick enough, threads started blaming IV not caring for its members. (BTW this thread is started by a member who is anonymous and has been a known heckler and has posted offensive messages about IV in the past). Then there are emails being sent.

    If you think spamming DOL and others with anonymous emails will help, you are wrong. I am seeing lots of emails from people with sender names like 'big_cat' , 'aabbccddeeffgg' etc etc talking about this 'huge injustice' and saying that Atlanta problem affecting 'millions of people' and that this is 'not what forefathers of America dreamt of'. Not even a single person wrote such emails with their name, address and phone number and a case number for someone to act on it. I hope highly skilled and intelligent people of this community use their intelligence when they write such emails. If you are so scared that you cannot even go and meet anyone, so scared that you cannot even write your name, address and phone number in your mail , do you think anyone will take you seriously? The emails core got from its members are also mostly anonymous and some went to the extent of telling core to only focus on Atlanta Perm because this is the 'real' issue.

    If IV core was to take such anonymity approach in our advocacy efforts, IV would have been just a spammer organization and nothing else.

    If you like to dwell in the shadows then just support IV and let us do our advocacy efforts. Or join an organization for illegals instead of Immigrationvoice. With our efforts and success 'everyone' will benefit. Have patience and faith.

    I agree GC makes a difference. If anyone as EAD thats as good as GC subject to your primany job not changing. So why not do side -business on EAD while your primary job is ON. Take it easy at job, dont overwork because without GC rarely people get promoted, if they are not extra-ordinary!

    Going to XYZ place because of no GC does not make sense. If you have potential you can use it here on EAD not necessarily in another country!

    If u take it easy at ur job in today's date..u may get fired and lose ur side business as well. Remember, your primary job is the reason why u have the EAD and and are able to setup a side business. The Primary job according to me will always need to get its due importance.

    There is no question that GC makes a difference in life. However, its upto each one of us how much importance we give to it. My personal opinion, I will keep fighting for it and contribute to the fight against the broken process whenever I can..but I will not stop my life because of GC, example, buy a house, travel around, give my wife an opportunity to excel in her job (since i cannot take promotions until GC).....all these are difficult without GC, but not impossible.

    Everyone will and should have their own way of dealing with the situation we have...

    That is a wonderful proposal and should be given due weight. Despite the early arrival, an individual may not filed his/her GC due to several reasons. Most commonly found / heard are
    1. Company closures/ Layoffs / Transfer to different state
    2. Employer / attorney delay and / or fraud in filing GC
    3. Delays in processing Labor in certain states / backlog centers

    This proposal seems a ray of hope for people in the above category. God bless Rajeev74 and all. Let this be heard and got attention at the policy level.
