Folks,
Let the ilks of sherman and zazona types bark. We all are wasting too much time reading this and responding to this post. Please disregard and don't comment on these posts; its of no use.
Let us all focus on the rally and the things that we have to do to make it successful and not waste our energy on this.. Each one of us has to work to make this rally a success, that is a vow each one of us will take.
Consider this to be the last post from our side.
Finito... The End...
Just before ending, one thing I would like to say to sherman and zazona types.. Please go ahead and do what you have to do; have the strangest notions in your mind about numbers in the rally, we not succeeding etc.. We will prove you wrong in every sense of the word. We will do what we have to do! Amen..

Most people think law suit is a bad thing, but that is not right. In a democratic country law suit is the right way to deal with things. We are legal immigrants, we have all the rights to file a law suit, but with full support of IV.
People have already filed a law suit on the same day the President signed the bill! (yesterday, the wire tapping bill...)
By filing a law suit, all we are trying to do is to fix the laws which are not working. Basically, we are doing the right thing. Not only us, but future Legal immigrants will be benefitted, they don't have to go thru what we had to...
Here are the things that needs to be fixed...
1. Country quota
2. Recapturing visas..
3. 3 year EAD/AP
4. End the endless wait ( Proposing a new law ;))
What is "End the endless wait" ?
EAD is a very good example, If 90 days have passed after filing EAD, you have the option to go to a local USCIS office and get a temp one. We should have a similar option for all the peper work. For example, each and every stage in green card process should have a a day count for processing. Like name check should be completed in 180 days.
Basically, when we receive any receipt notice, it should have a statement which reads "We have received your application and we will take action within 180 days. If we fail to act by MM-DD-YYYY, Please go to the nearest USCIS for approval.."
Sounds little ambitious ?? well, we are not asking for too much, just a day count. Lets say if the whole Green card process takes 3 years or 10 years based on the day count for each stage, people can decide whether they want to immigrate to USA with a clear idea that it will take x days to become a permanent resident ( like how it works in all other countries except USA)
Even a person jailed gets to know how long he is going to spend his time behind bars, but we do not know when we will be free from this immigration mess!

I am trying to make my second $100 contribution using my American Express card but am getting this message below:
"We were unable to verify this credit card through our card validation process. To proceed with checkout, please verify the information you entered is correct or try a different card."
I have tried 3 times and there's no problem with the info I am keying in. Is there a problem using American Express cards?

RD - August 16th 2007 - TSC processing - August 30th 2007
PD - Dec 2004 EB2
Hopefully 3rd time lucky eh
Just an observation - There always seem to be a gap of 2 months between Receipt date and Notice date.
So for July 2nd filers, there notice date would be September 2007. But they all got GC last yr when they made it current till 2006 PD. However processing times arent Sept 2007 even now which makes me believe its the receipt date?
What do you guys think.

Even if 1000 of our ~41000 members contribute 100 dollars each, we can host two more events like this.
It makes sense to ask help from outside of the organization only when our internal resources are all exhausted. However, sadly, most of us do not want to even contribute for the good cause. :o
I am not a dornor, BUT, I am going to say this one more time:
1000 X $100 (one-time) = $100,000.00 (one time)
41,000 X $10/year = $410,000/YEAR
Take your pick.
It is is high time to make IV a paid subscription site, something as little as $10/year should bring in a STEADY, healthy flow of funds.
Even if HALF of IV members drop off, because of this $10/yr fee, we will still have $200,000.00/year in assured, steady flow.
I would like to see Pappu's comments on this, once he gets so time off from the avocacy effort.
BTW, I did send in my contribution for Advocacy effort.

my reply was only meant to highlight what you have been doing on this thread. i do not care who is in which EB category. and i know exactly how people with masters degrees suffer in EB3. however, for you to argue that all category preference should just disappear, is quite ridiculous and i have explained the reasons to you. that does not mean people in EB3 are not suffering or that all those in EB3 are either holding advanced degrees or 3 year bachelor degrees. that stereotyping is in your head alone. certainly not in mine. you never answered any of my questions though. what would be the effect of YOUR solutions? would people like me EVER get a GC?
please do not unload your frustrations on all of us and derail what should be important.
iv has one goal- to end retrogression. period. iv's founder belonged to EB3. so do several core members. you have some funny perception that iv is about EB2. so be it. ironical though, because iv is commonly accused of being an entirely EB3 india organization.
so let me hear how the following things iv has constantly been fighting for, are somehow not helpful for EB3??
recapture GC
exempt families
remove country quotas
as for STEM exemption, if EB2 clears up, where do you think the GC numbers will go? what should we ask for? exemption for all??? not to mention that would get YOU a GC as quickly as possible and would LEAVE ME OUT. i still call and lobby for STEM exemption. i don't whine and moan on the forum about how it excludes health care professionals. if i have an issue, i work to resolve it- note the iv-physicians chapter in my signature that works to resolve specific issues. i created it and we have had success in reaching lawmakers with our problems.
anyway, iv is clearly not about a few leaders. the tone on the forums and the discussions are dictated by its members. iv has more EB3 members than any other category. so now ask yourself, WHY does the forum seem to discuss more EB2 issues (at least to you) ??? whose fault would that be if it were true? who needs to take responsibility to highlight their issues?
you have the option to change your job sir. if you are so frustrated, find a job that is up to your skill levels. you will not hear me on this forum complaining that EB1 should not get preference- hey i contribute as much or more. so why?
get with it. we fight the battles we think we can win. ANY GC numbers/exemptions will move everyone ahead in the line. what part of that do you not understand?
and now again. stop this divisive crap. we have more important issues to deal with.
Excellent post. My thoughts exactly.

Good one, Change to workflow should not be an issue, but we should have IV core support and reasonable to pool of money (not peanuts) to make this a success. I would recommend to run a funding drive, specially for this effort once IV core endorses this effort. In day to day life, Everything begins with $, you get what you pay for and nothing is free.

Whats your PD?
I filed my I-485 last July (PD March 2005). It was transferred from the TSC to the NSC and since Dec 2007 it has been untouched too.
This is really depressing. My hopes were raised so high when the cut-off dates for EB2-I jumped forward over two years .. only to be dashed when they moved back to 2003!!
Thats when I decided to write to these incompetents.

I think this is the best idea that I have seen on the forum so far. Out of all of them so far....rallies, flowers, pizzas . Really speaking, if this action is indorsed by IV, this would be great. I think this is doable and does not require any change in existing rules about visas. I am all for it and many thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,
I am married and my husband is working in US on H1B visa. I came into the country with an L1 visa in Dec '06. The I 94 is valid till Oct 2009.
In Apr 2007, I applied for my H1B and it was approved with a start date of October 2007.
I quit my company by end of May 2007. Since the H1B was NOT applied with COS, I applied for my H4 last week but I have not got the approval notice for H4 yet. :(
Is it still possible for my husband to file my 485 along with his? What do I enter for questions regarding my current status?? Can I say that my current status is H4 and give the "valid till" date as the end date of my husband's H1B date?
Please help!!!
Thanks Elfreda
Isn't Elfreda out of status since May '07 when the L1 ended, as I guess the company she was working for would have reported it? H1 doesn't start until oct '07 and H4 is pending, so what is the status now??
Does anyone else have any informed opinion?
Thanks.
