While we are at discussing participation, a question I heard at DC comes to my mind. A member ( anil_sap?) asked another Texan member ( forgot name) - 'What takes you to become an Active member?'. To which my friend answered - 'Isn't he active alredy. He is here'.
That made me think - is being active a nebulous concept. Who's is the real active member of IV? The Core and near-core that strategize, plan , co-ordinate and conduct the business? The guys subscribed to monthly payment but missed DC? Guys who were at DC but not monthly contributors? Guys who were there all 4 days? Guys who visited for a day? "Lunch-Break" agitators? Who is 'active' among these will depend on whom you ask!
The following portion is in humor. Don't take it in bad spirit.
I did a self-evaluation, and guess-what, I realized I was a different breed. A 'Know-Nothing' IV member!
Being a IV member
1) Do I know why was such a mass mobilization done on that particular day? Is it because there was a push for STRIVE act as speculated in the forums here? Or is it SKIL we are pushing?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
2) What is the criteria for getting selected for Lawmaker meetings? Why weren't some selected after following the USCIS-inspired process? ( inspired by Marks skit)
Step 1 : Submit Labor petition E-IV-LOBBYDAY ( twice)
Step 2 : Verification by Labor department (or is it Name check)
Step 3 : Receipt Notice ( Talking Points)
Step 4 : Waiting...
Step 5 : Followup with RO (Rally Officer). You are still under Processing Time
Step 6 : Waiting...
Step 7 : More followup..
Step 8 : Retrogression due to insufficient (visa) numbers
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
3) Didn't some members from my state attend Lawmakers meetings? What was the result? Where they positive or negative about our cause? What should we do to followup with them?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
4) What does it takes to become an 'Active' member as defined by Anil? What will take for IV to trust a member enough to let him know of the purported plan for World-Domination? Or should we just remain content gossiping (with near-core members) and making our own guesses?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
5) Does my State chapter even exist as of today? Or is it an IV version of Flying Sphaggeti Monster, that we should worship without questioning?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
With so many 'KNOW NOTHINGS' to my credit, I feel like the member of a secret American political party in the time of the Whigs.

I was in Indian consulate for renewing the passport. I went there on time and there was a pathetic guy at the entrance who refuse to speak other than hindi. Though I told him that I do not understand hindi, he never listen to that and started his conversation with hindi.
Then comes the worst part. A cab driver went to him and handed over some dollar note and got the token. Then the driver handed over the token to the passenger and left. That guy got into the line well before me and got his work done. @#$K those people.
if you are a desi no reason for you to not know hindi mate....hamara bharat mahan

In my previous company all the work was through an attorney. This attorney will always commit some mistake in the forms.
I think paralegal is better than an attorney for just preparing the forms. They charge less. They know as much as an attorney.
I know a paralegal who can prepare paperwork for H1B, PERM, 140 and 485. The email is icanhelp33@gmail.com.

Shows you the general herd mentality on this forum. As long as everyone is thinking the same way, everything is great. If you differ, everyone will call for a ban on you. They are all lemmings. Unfortunately, I had to come to this forum for news. I have never seen such a bunch of dimwitted people in one place...
None has called a ban for anyone being differ but it's just the way you express your opinions by using the words like "herd mentality", "dimwitted" etc. Not that you have accepted that you are here for news only, I don't think we need people like you.
IV is not a news site. It's a group of people who are fighting for a common cause. One needs to understand the common cause is not just helping July filers or people affected with retrogress but a bigger aim of helping all the legal employment-based immigrants. But one also needs to understand that not all the objective can be accomplished at a time and we need to strike the iron when it's hot and make every opportunity count, be it a BEC, retrogression, July filer or Visa recapturing.
Having said that, I do agree that BEC is one of the issue which should definitely be focussing on next. I'm sure IV members (even if they are not a BEC victim) will support whole heartedly any cause which can bring some relief to BEC victms. What we need is a united front and some unique ideas like flower campaign. Do not forget the flower campaign idea was pursued by one of the IV member who was not part of core.

Just a question, why is everyone so happy that the CIR has Failed and more importantly why does everyone on here feel that if CIR is resurrected it will "haunt" us?
If CIR fails to go into "production" this year, is it not true that we have ZERO reform? I mean would it not be better to ride this wave and try and sneak our provisions into the mix rather than SIMPLY feeling happy that CIR is "dead"?
At this point (even after the PD movement), About 70% of us are still in the retrogression mess and will continue to be in that mess till SOME immigration reform passes. So the question then is: Should we not be trying and praying that CIR passes WITH our provisions (and i know how hard the core team is working and hence i am asking this question). I mean the core team has given an infinite amount of time and energy to this project. Would it not be easier to see a bill finally pass and try and get our provisions in this bill rather than killing this bill?

I know this is probably asking for trouble but no movement can be credible without listening to the dissenting voices. So here is my gripe ... You cannot open a single thread or forum without being asked for contributions these days. People are told that if they dont contribute, they are not "supporting the cause".
But the stark reality is this... If you look at the IV website to see what action/progress has been made in "the cause"....there is some vague statement about Patton Boggs and how we have this lobbyist who is educating congressmen...Who exactly? How? When? Oh those details cannot be given.
There is a link about IV in the news...the last time IV was in the news was in Sept 2007 ...19 MONTHS AGO...
Then there is a link about IV and FBI namechecks...The last update is some thread in Feb 08 and this brilliant statement from 2007 ..."IV has met officials from agencies and has raised this issue in the recent past. We have been informed that there is an effort being undertaken to significantly reduce name check backlogs in the next 6 months." SERIOUSLY?? You really expect that you can convince people to contribute based on this flimsy evidence of doing "something" that you really cant tell us ??
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.
And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
Very valid points. Can you join the team and make it better?

Yes but that is when the provisions of the bill come in to effect.
There is another clause which says "Any pending visa applications filed before the INTRODUCTION of this bill will be counted under the old system". In other words all the I-140s filed after May 15th ( Or June 19th) will have to be re-filed under the merit system if they are not approved and GC received when the Bill is in effect. That Effective date is the one you are refering to. Introduction date is when the bill was added to the senate calander.
Yes. On page 291 bottom, that phrase is there (line number 40, section b). It talks about keeping those petitions intact. I believe the effective date is still October 1st 2007.
There is a reference about labor certification applicants keeping their priority dates. The expectation could be that BECs will clear all petitions by September 30th 2007 and there would be a rush filing for I-140s before October 1st 2007.

Republicans are generally more amenable to legal immigration fixes than Dems. While not all of the Dems are bad, most of them dont care about legal immigration -- they just want the illegals. If it were not for these Dems, 5882 would have sailed through by now
I am sure NoBama will say CIR. illegals first. etc. etc.
I am not sure how much the next president will affect the passage of the bill through the two houses since they were majority democrat and will continue to be majority democrat. Senate is projected to continue to be majority democrat even after the upcoming election (when 1/3th of the Senate seats are up for election). A Republican president might not veto such a bill. Not sure if Obama would veto a bill which has passed through a democratic majority vote. Just a thought........I could be wrong.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Nat

Also most Law firms prefer to repond to HR and Leagl since this will keep the number questions to min. You should keep the communication going and keep checking on every step. You have the benefit of so many IV memebrs who can help. Join the local State Chapter and there you will meet people who can provide sound advice.

I have an EB3 app from Oct 02. One more PERM filed 2 months back. My wife has an approved EB3 140 waiting to file 485.
We have canadian PR cards. We have decided to move to Canada in Oct. We may come back here once numbers are available to file for 485 or im thinking of becoming a canadian citizen. who knows t'row some bright guy in Congress may create a rule saying Canadian citizens are exempt from visa numbers :)

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
H1 doesnt work as you are interpreting. OP was working for 'A' and had a valid H1. At some point of time, he got a job offer from X and had his H1 transferred to X. Even though his new H1 is approved, his old H1 is still valid. It is valid as long as OP doesnt join X. Since the OP never left A and never joined X, he was always in status. OP -> this should be a simple case. Since you have documentation to prove that you were in status always and since you never joined X , you dont have paystubs and that should be perfectly fine as long as you never left A.

Most people showing their cool wisdom still not getting the point. A BEC person with Feb 2005 PD may not be able to file for another 2 years while a PD 2007 person will be enjoying EAD during that time. In my dictionary this is injustice. And that's why i was kinda happy when they updated the July bulletin, now I'm not really happy even if my company has already filed my 485/EAD on july 2. I'm still wishing (and i'll be honest) USCIS come up with a reason/regulation/rule that will delay EAD for everyone until BEC people are able to file 485 OR in Oct they retrogress only till March 2005.
P.S. if you are superstitious, you want to know this: most of my relatives/freinds call me "Black Tongue" because usually when i say something unpleasent it happens. e.g. i told my wife last month that i don't believe everyone is able to file 485, something will go wrong and everyone will be disappointed. (when everyone expects something it does not happen- contrarian theory)

June05,
Encourage your friends to call for themselves and your co workers on your behalf.
if you can talk to your boss and have him/her call on behalf of your organization explaining the difficulty, its even better.
Yes, this is true with any representative we call.
The rep will be given a tally of X ppl called in support of which Y were our constituents. The more Y's we get, the better on any call, but X's are also necessary to call. The more US employers are part of Y, even better. I managed to get 3 local friends to call.
keep up the good work fellows.

Hi ,
I have a my my case in pending state for H1B transfer from company A to company B.
Pending status h1b with company B.
From Company A : I got the Labor and I140 Approved.
I m trying to file my 485 through comapany A- But my employer says that I need to have new H1B with him- Cos his company merged with another another company.
Can someone try to help me on it:(
H1 and green card are seprate things. H1 is for current employement and green card is for future. If down teh line you can come back to employer A you should be fine. Although all this can generate a RFE. Please consult a lawyer. I recommend Rajiv.
Hope it helps.
