I totally understand the push from IV to encourage state chapters and build grassroots strength to this movement.
Join the state chapter : IV does not have a state chapter in the state I live in - Nebraska,: So I thought I would start one and wrote to IV ...after initial response from IV , there has been no progress .
Start contributing: I have already contributed $100 and will contribute further as and when I can.
Volunteer for IV: Volunteered to start the state chapter.
Well I have done my bit so hopefully I will not be disparaged for making comments on this issue,
Singlemost big bottleneck is lack of "Visa Numbers"...
485 applications pending :~340,000( ~ 320,000(recent flood) + ~20,000 SWAG on previously pending ).
visa numbers have been lost in the recent past - ~200,000 (This is the number thrown around)
Visa numbers available if we recapture :~340,000 (200,000 + 140,000 of this years quota)
So, if we had not lost those numbers, retrogression would be minimal/reasonable.
We could have even accommodated the skewness of India & china numbers, because each year India & China would have been benefitted by unused ROW numbers.
From my above understanding, the quota(140,000) fixed seems to be fine/reasonable, though per country quota is extremely unrealistic. But even this will not hurt much as long as unused numbers are used up by year end.
IMHO, demanding recapture is more an easy/winnable/achievable argument than the one to raise the quota itself .
Because the reason the visa numbers were lost is purely due to incompetencies of two federal institutions. State Dept and USCIS.
For two and half years (05 - 07 June) they artificially retrogressed the dates
way back to 1999 - 2001.
This prevented any approvals and new applications even though plenty of visa numbers were available(~ 200,000 cumulative).
For congress/senate it is easy to make their case for recapture citing incompetencies of these institutions rather than making case for "INCREASE" in numbers.
Many ways to achieve this objective- Ask for increase and settle for recapture.
Anyway - My point is Recapture will solve most of our problems and we should channel most of our resources to achieve this objective.

I probablly know the answer to my own question, but would like to know other opinions. My lawyere tells me this. Since the dates were current when I filed for my I485 in July, the application will be processed regardless of what the dates are right now. Another words, he thinks that even though the dates are showing as 2002, my application will be processed since when we filed, they were current.
is this true. If so, then provided I pass background check in time, i should expect my GC in a year or so. but if I have to wait until 2002 Row becomes current, in my case 2005.. then I am majorlly scrwed...

Dear Dr. Teli (I am sure you are a Dr. because you dont let facts or reality come in the way of your diagnosis of a situation, argument or person, only a PhD can do that)
Thank you for doing the homework on my 1 year of postings..Not even my wife pays that much attention to me, makes me feel really valuable :)
I could have told you that. I have never contributed any money to IV and probably never will. Because i dont think they are doing anything. I have, however, answered a few people's questions about AP or H4 visa (something with which i had to spend a lot of time researching). That is the extent of my "contribution". I just answered a few earnest questions to the best of my ability.
You can attack me all you want. For example, probably I am not EB2..Hmm, I thought EB2 was an employment category and not a species classification but I may be wrong...
Anyway, what happens is that whenever a new visa bulletin rolls out, there are all these posts which basically say
1. Contribute
2. We must do something
3. What is IV core doing
4. Where is VDLRAO
5. When will the injustice end
etc etc etc
I have been seeing this for the last 3 years. First things first, If you want to take action, spend 41 cents every day and send a letter to your congressman or senator everyday for 1 year....For $149 per year (365 * 0.41 not counting leap years and counting on the fact that you will mail a letter even on holidays :))
At the end of the year, at least you have something to show for what you did. With IV, you can convince people that Patton Boggs is doing all they can for you, Trust them.
I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't :)

EB2 is the only hope for all EB3-I folks bcoz EB3-I is last in the chain to get any spillover so you should not have any hopes in next 5 years.
Dates will move one month per year for EB3-I in next 5 years unless a miracle happens.

Hi,
I had invoked AC21 and informed usc thru my old attorney.
Now Frago...is filing my EAD,AP extensions and asking me to file G28 for AP and EAD only.
They agreed to keep 485 G28 as is so that old attorney will take care of it.
Do you see any issues here?

140 reached NSC on July 11.
Receipt date is July 17, attorney says they got it today, July 24.
So for those at NSC who filed within a day or two of me, mght be better to hold off for a couple of days before filing 485 with the colored sheet which will probably add some delays in the mailroom

I am not a lawyer, but this is what my understanding: if your I-485 was is pending for at least 180 days and your I-140 was approved at the time when you used AC21, you should be safe. In this scenario, even if the ex-employer revokes your I-140, you should be fine and if USCIS has denied your I-485 based on this, you should be able to fight it.
USCIS usually won't deny a I-485 unless the applicant was out of status at some point of time. Sometimes, the attorney messes up the application somewhere and that causes denial. But again, as someone has mentioned, USCIS is suppose to issue NOID before denying it. If they haven't done so, this gives you an additional material to fight the denial.
I would suggest that you wait for the denial notice and see what it says. If it sounds complicated or you think the USCIS has made a mistake, get a reputable attorney and file a MTR.

The information, and guideline we got from you is going to help us a lot pappu... also many thanks to other chapter leaders who took time out and helped us learn the process.
Lets get going friends here at Michigan.....
we must fight this monster..... we must fight for our rights, and what is fair....
we must fight for our families and friends.....
Concentrate on the topics you want to discuss on, and bring more friends to the 20th meeting.....
I missed it, not aware of it, not sure why. I am glad to see this chapter grow. There was a time where we were searching for folks with torchlights. Thanks to Chintu, walking_dude, cagedcactus, bestin and all others who are now making this happen.
I have a very close friend in Michigan, and asked him to join, but he talks about all hardships, about his HR manager, about his company, about his lawyer, about everything except IV stuff. I am sure there are many more people here doing the same thing. We have to motivate folks to come forward. We cannot afford to have people who are inactive.
Good luck to you all, try to merge folks from nearby states if they are still not organized until they get organized.

A couple of months ago, when I realised that my son who is on H4 with ITIN was not qualified for $300 under the stimulus program, I felt bad, not really for the 300 bucks. Instead, I felt strongly that my son is discriminated for his immigration status for which he has no control at all, he is only 12 years old. As father of 3 (two youngsters born in US), I love them all, equally, regardless of immigraton status. Certainly, this stimulus program does not.
As such, I contacted VA chapter of ALCU, who replied that there are just so many injustice in the world, and they could not help anything, however, they offered paid service if I like to go further. I did not bother to contact them anymore.
I received the payment under the program a couple of days ago. I did not tell my son that he did not get anything, since I do not want to make him upset or plant a seed of badwill in the mind of my son.
Thank you for great job to fight for your right, and the right of those on the same boat. I am with you.

I think the issue of Economic Stimulus Package and H-4 dependents is losing the momentum. Where is everyone????
I agree ---- I think the momentum is slowing down...
at least can we not take any legal action for issuing out a rule (you can file MFS and get the stimuls and then amend MFJ) on 04/14/2008??? what about people who filed a long time ago as MFJ?? Because once you filed MFJ, the action is irrevocable!?! In my honest opinion, this stupidity of issuing out a clause the day before filing deadline deserves some "stir"!!

The mere mention of Fragomen makes my blood boil :mad::mad:. This law frim is the most useless in my opinion. They have no concern for their eventual client. My labor application was rejected :( because of the inefficient ppl at Fragomen. Their attitude was still so casual as if nothing happened. I am forced to use them but I would not recommend this Law firm even to an enemy.

Here is a message from Ajoba regarding the San Jose rally....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must say that this is a great great effort. Both, the flower campaign and the rally. Nothing like this has been done before by wanna-be immigrants. We are hardworking, law abiding, well educated people. But until now, the general opinion was that we are at the mercy of the American immigration system. I was especially so frustrated when some of my friends thought that there was nothing wrong in what the USCIS did. Their response was simply "what can we do? let's just re-apply when the dates become current again". Historically, Indians (at least, from my experience) have been hesitant to protest against the wrongdoings of their rulers. This is seen even today, when we fear to raise our voice when our bosses or managers at work exploit us, or our advisers/professors exploit us, or if the USCIS changes rules in the middle of the game. In India too, the general opinion is "Nothing is going to change, let's not get into trouble". This rally has shown that things are changing. We all should wake up, and fight for our rights! I could not attend the rally as I am based in Michigan, but I thank all of you who protested for me and my family. I will do my best to support this effort in whatever way I can.
Hi Guyz,
First off, kudos to all the friends who attended the rally. I really appreciate the efforts and thank all of them.
I just thought of starting this thread for people who did not attend. Please explain in one or two sentences why you did not attend. Whether it was a personal reason, whether u were scared, didn't care, forgot, didn't know! etc.
My reason:
I really wanted a green card, but because India is growing so fast, I really don't think I want it so badly anymore. So, I did not have the motivation to go ...
I am honestly curious. What changed in two months? You were desperate then, and you are not now?

I am not sure whether it is my HR to be blamed or my corporate law firm TheChugh who has been handling my case, no one has bothered to convey my PERM status or even my case #. I feel frustrated when my HR doesn't respond about the status.
I understand that they must by flooded with application preparation but setting up a link for me to check the status shouldn't be very difficult.
I really hope that my PERM gets approved before 31st July so that I can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
Anyone else has experience to share about TheChugh law firm?

Yes, we need more help from the media. That is why we have the media event - press conference on Tuesday June 8th. We need members to be there to show a good representation of EB-Community. Apart from that we need to send these emails/letters to media and the reps in 1000's everyday, so that we get the attention we deserve. Thank you everybody that is participating and sending emails every day. We can also print out and send letters.
