I can tell you my experience. Back in 2003 when my company was applying for my LC from MD, I explored the possibility of filing my LC from other states where the backlog wasn't huge. I was turned down because the company was not willing to write a letter justifying why I was staying/working in one state but was applying for my LC from another state.
Maybe this isn't an apples-to-apples comparison with your situation, but if it helps...
Good luck.
Thanks,
Jayant

As another member said, please display the list of all members who paid.
Also, to all the registered members in IV, why dont we send an email as a gentle reminder?
The email can also include the list of members who donated/pledged to attend the event. That might motivate others to contribute atleast financially?

I do understand not everyone can travel to DC....but whats stopping to meet your state represenatives in their local office...?
Various reasons...time...schedule...other obligations etc...lack of readily available information on IV as an organisation or state chapter....too many steps to do simple things like joining the state chapter :)
ya some of the reasons seem ridiculous...but even small things easily hinder people who already have a busy life. They create mental barriers...where such tasks are just postponed rather than handled in an instant.
I am trying to get more of IV core members to take these small things seriously and have even offered to help in this regard.
like the example of the weekly attorney call
Many like me don't have the time to search through forums as to what the number is for the call or where is the link for the chat. If its displayed on the main page "Click here to join attorney call" that would be so much easier and encourage a lot more participation.
I understand that there is lack of resources at IV to do this or address a lot of other things...but rather than being frustrated at lack of participation maybe more focus can be placed at these many small issues that need to get addressed
Please understand that i am not blaming anyone. I very much greatly appreciate the work IV puts in. Its quite a noble job where people are sacrificing their time and some of them already have their GCs

It looks like to me that Porters strike again. they have eaten all the Visa's. very few approvals so far. I am worried about next bulletin now. dates can go back now. every EB3 is porting to EB2.
we see the results. they will block EB2 too.
I'm seeing around 10 approvals from yesterday. Most of the approvals seems like coming after hours. Most of the people are saying they got emails after 11:30 PM last night.
All the cases I have seen are from TSC, none from NSC :confused:
Mine is NSC

Are the attorneys and law firms spreading rumors about
EB retogression on July 2nd ?
Cynical view:
May be they hope to discourage other people from filing this
weekend?
Non-cynical view:
May be they everyone is nervous and gone insane?:D

Subject: Update on July Visa Availability
We are hearing from multiple sources that, on Monday or Tuesday of next week
, State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007.
This revised Bulletin would retrogress some or all of the employment-based
categories, very likely to the point of unavailable. Reports from AILA
members about unusual levels and types of activities by USCIS indicate a
particular push to adjudicate employment-based adjustments currently in the
pipeline so as to exhaust visa numbers for fiscal year 2007.
This follows the actions of USCIS in June, when it began rejecting EB-3 "
Other Worker" adjustment applications even though the Visa Bulletin showed
an October 2001 cut-off date, on the basis that the "Other Worker" numbers
for the year had been exhausted.
For more information on this situation, see InfoNet document #07062770: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22767

This is great..I wonder how powerful she is? They never cared to reply to her July 2nd letter.

who said master's people do not need desi consulting, I very well know the facts, people did masters in computer science and ended up taking QA testing jobs, for that even 10th standard in an enough qualification.
Very few big companies hire direct MS out of the college people, In fact most of the master's people have to prepare there resumes in the same manar as those who do not have.
I am not saying that MS is conputer science is not worth, it may be but if you look at the % of people who landede up in big companies right out of the college it won't be more than marginal 10 to 15%, I know this very well, I know people drop there last seter jumesst to get H1B's .
it may be worth , but at the end it comes down to getting a job, wether it needs assembly language or Engilsh language.

In this visa bulletin atleast they give us an idea of not to expect until the year end, So they are not giving false hope in each bulletin until october 2009!!!
So we all can predict on september onwards. Atleast we should send some flowers for passing this information.
flowers? i would suggest sending manure - send back some of the love (and let them grow their own flowers)
(send flowers and they will be happy for a day.. let them grow flowers and they will be happy forever) ;)

Just received Card production e-mail for me and wife. Had pretty tough time last few weeks thinking what could have gone wrong as my PD is MAY 15 with everything clear. After waiting a while, 3/4 days ago I had infopass and went to Congressman for help.
Though we are happy but can feel how tough it is to wait and wait....but I assure you all will get it soon, but take action as your intution says as you KNOW YOUR CASE BETTER THAN OTHERS. So take help if you think there is no question of RFE or delay is longer than ususal. Thank you IV and all members. I will contribute, as many of you did after getting it, and stay in touch with forums for anything I can be of assistance.
Thanks and BEST WISHES TO ALL..
Congratulations and thanks for offering to help even after getting your GC.

If we are claiming to be best and the brightest having high skills and inventing then it is EB1 and EB2 mostly. By law EB3 is mostly for people who have Bachelor degree and hardly any experience in their field to claim as EB2. It does not matter you are masters from Harvard but by law, if your job requires just a bachelor degree then you are doing basic work at lower management. Legally EB3 have no case if they claim to be best and the brightest inventors. All doctors get EB2 or EB1. All managers with advanced degrees get EB2. All Scientists and PhD holders get EB1 and EB2. So EB3 is mostly people who are low skilled programmers, people in professions doing lower line work or people who despite having higher degrees are doing jobs that do not need advanced skills to be the brightest folks immigrating in USA. There are some exceptions of people who are screwed by their lawyers and employers by forcing them in EB3. These people should fight with their lawyers and employers or change their jobs to EB2. EB3 do not have a strong legal case to fight for EB3 if they claim to be best and the brightest. It is very humiliating but you like it or not EB3 is grouped with EB3 Other Workers that are waiters, janitors, construction workers, Farm workers etc.
So if we PORT for EB2 then we also become best and brightest?
BTW brightest are only EB1s (since you have EB2s doesn't mean EB2s are brightest)

Welcome to our 8000th member "vatsa" ...Friends we are only 20% away from target. At least if you cannot make contribution in terms of $$$'s please at least add members and take it to the finish line....
Another suggestion is to use Orkut.... use your orkut network, join communities on Orkut which you may feel can have potential members and send a message to the whole community.
