    How about contacting Bloomberg Radio? I heard about IV first on it in 2006.

    They ran a nice segment and talked to one of the core members. I think it was very effective. They are pro business and any issue affecting "MSFT, GOOG, INTC" is big news for them....

    Very well said... I hope at least 50 % of member think like you do.. Then we will have strong IV..


    I started off with a one time contribution many months ago, and then signed up for $20 monthly contributions.

    Today, when I saw the action item for the new funding drive and that the recurring contribution request had gone up to $50, I couldn't initially bring my stingy self to changing my contribution from $20 to $50.

    Then I asked myself, If I were offered a green card today, at an additional 'premium' fee (Besides the filing, attorney fees), how much would I be willing to pay? probably, $2, 3, 4, 5, or even upto $10000. That being the case why was I being a miser about spending $50 a month supporting a great organization like IV.

    With that thought, I immediately went ahead and signed up for the $50 a month contribution and cancelled my old $20 subscription on Paypal.

    I am single and don't have a family to support like most of you do, but this $50 a month will go a long way. We have seen IV get results. From what has gone on in the last few months, up until last night, we know that IV is the only organization that really works for our interest. Oh, Shusterman, ILW, Murthy might all be good attorneys but they don't push our interests like IV does.

    With that, I would request all of you to join hands and work with IV in bringing a revolutionary change to the employment immigration system.

    Thank you all, in advance.

    20,000 members of which at least 15,000 are real (not non-immigrant trolls).

    If all sign up for $50 a month, IV would generate $750,000 a month. That kind of money = serious lobbying efforts = we get our green cards well before it is time to retire

    From what I understand many 485 applications(not all)received in accordance to the June bulletin MAY have been preassigned a visa number(from the leftover 60,000 visas) NOT an approval.Although they are not supposed to pre assign numbers without name checks etc, is'nt it obvious that they might have done that??. They have a lot of cases to approve until Sept 30(from that 60,000 number)


    They have preassigned Visa numbers to cases that were pending in USCIS(NOT the ones filed in JUNE)...even though the PD was not current according to June Visa Bulletein... Eg: COnsider your approval and mine..We filed for 485 in 2004.. These cases are preadjudicated and just waiting for Visa number to become avilable..Once the july bulletein came into effect(or according to rumor even before) they assigned visa numbers to all pre approved cases that were pending...AGAIN USCIS DID NOT ASSIGN VISA NUMBERS TO CASES FILED IN JUNE

    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

    Try your best to find a job. The market is picking up. At least try to join one of those desi companies even if they are offering a low salary. Just get past this time without making your situation a whole lot more complex.

    Dont worry about lawyers, your ex employer revoking I140 - all that stuff doesn't matter now - just go find a job.

    can they even withdraw 140 after more then a year now?

    I like your analogy...

    I agree with you 100%.

    The material damages to would-be July filers are a travesty. That is undeniable and deserves, at the minimum, material compensation.

    But making the bulletins current in the first place, instead of a making a measured movement in the priority dates was like trying to fill a glass of water with a firehose. Broken glass and severe water damage were sure to follow.

    Macaca-

    If only wait times were as little as 2 yrs and 7 yrs...I might not even be fighting!!!

    "Currently it takes 7+ years (after 2+ years on student visa) to become a resident."
    This is not true in most cases. The F1 might be for 2 yrs minimum + 1 year EAD + at least 2 yrs on H1B before the GC process starts. Then its 7+ years...
    So overall, we are talking 10+ years to get permanant residency in a majority of cases.

    "Skilled immigrants have waited patiently for 2+ years"
    Are we just talking about 2 yrs to see if there is going to be some reform?

    If you don't want to get into the trouble of debating how many years, just say that it is unreasonable....
    The best solution is to write the years you spent on F1 and H1B. You can add your additional pains also.

    This will change each email also.

    The answer is "No" - my employer is also not willing to sign that form. They are saying that its against their policy to push Ombudsman or CIS for a I-140 which is pending for 15 months.

    They are saying that the only thing they can do for me is "opening a service request" after 60 days of "Processing Date Update" Now Processing Date update is stuck @ Mar 22nd 2007 for last 4 months , so they are happy they are not obligated to do that either.

    This is a huge Pain because 140 is actually employer petition and we are beneficiaries.

    Lonedesi - Please advise, I'm ready to mail just the letter to CIS Ombudsman.

    Hi Lonedesi and team,

    I wish, I could move forward on this, unfortunately my employer a financial firm , will not sign or support the DHS Form 7001 due to legality, instead I can just send the letter by E-mail or mail to Ombudsman's office ?

    Does it make sense ? Please advise.

    Thank you!

    What are you talking about?
    For EB3, DOS had predicted that in the Oct. 2008 VB, dates would be reinstated to the June 2008 (not June 2007) VB dates. This means that if that is still going to be true, Oct. 2008 VB dates would be Nov 2001. Where do you get June 2003 as the EB3 VB dates?

    Am I missing something here? But if your prediction is true, I will buy you dinner!!!
    """The Mexico F2A and Employment Third preference cut-off dates are “unavailable” for both August and September, since those FY-2008 annual limits have been reached. The Visa Office had originally anticipated that this would be a temporary situation. Then with the start of the new fiscal year in October the cut-off dates would have returned to those which had applied during June. However, continued heavy demand in those categories may require the establishment of cut-off dates which are earlier than those which had applied in June. A formal decision determination of the October cut-off dates will not be possible until early September. """

    Let's understand it ! I'm sure you are aware about July 2007 Visa Bulletin fiasco. It made every category "C". Before that in June 2007 bulletin - they moved dates for EB3 & EB2 singnificantly. For EB3 India - it moved from May 2001 to Jun 2003 - People who filed their AOS are 'June' applicants and People who filed because of July 2007 bulletin are 'July/Aug' applicants

    DOS refering to these June applicants means having PD earlier than Jun 2003. I hope its clear to you.

    I just spoke with an Immigration Representative of my Senator. She knows me as I met her last year with my employer for my other issue.

    She just informed me that we are (Not only we but whole Congress) shocked with un-precedent action of DOS/USCIS for July VB. Senator's Washington DC office is working on this issue including immediate legislative relief to Employment Based immigration. She is well aware of whole drama of July VB. I am going to call Washington DC Office as well.

    I encourage every one call to their Senator and HR and speak with Immigration Representative. I think first time media and lawmakers have acknowledged the problem of Employment Based Immigration.

    Call make much impact than the email/fax
    Can you tell me who are your senators?

    The impact to companies like Infy etc is ~5-10MM

    If someone look at their last year Balance sheet, They spent appx 16MM on visas, now assuming H1 cost came to ~10MM (these companies do lot of business elsewhere )

    that would translate to ~ 2500 filings (including extn, new etc)

    this additional $2000 would result in additional $5MM cost if they decide to continue filing 2500

    This would not be too huge to make a dent on these companies. yes they may increase their billing to client by $2-5

    So who is ultimately paying it is the American companies who use offshoring companies.
