How about meeting all our local congressmen and lawmakers in the next few weeks??
Since one of our key issues is educating people about our plight, it would be good to meet some of our local senators/representatives and explain our side to them.
Many of them are equally clueless about the difference between green card backlogs and H1 B visa limits (my local rep for example), legal and illegal immigration etc.
So instead of holding a rally so close to this one, why not have a few more lobby days or meetings with our reps??
Incidentally I like the idea of sending doughnuts/pizzas to the media people specially CNN...:) for obscuring our rally and misrepresenting it as "Amnesty demands"...:rolleyes:

This is a public and OPEN forum,
Insulting TheOmbudsman it's just not acceptable, I though we were all H1B educated people who are open to discussion, not just a child crying and insulting as soon as someone contradicts you.
I know many people who stopped comming to this forum (contributing), they just get tired of those insults. If someone has a different opinion, is immediately insulted

Hi All,
I applied for my daughter's PIO card and sent all the documents as mentioned in the instructions sheet of the embassy website along with the self addressed stamped envelope. I heard from my other friends that even after you send everything in order, the embassy people would call and say that they did not receive the self addressed stamped envelop. It happened to three of my friends. I am the 4th one. They called today to tell that I did not send the envelope.
The funny part that happened with my friends is that, they all sent $20 and the package came in the very envelope they sent in the first place, that the embassy said they didn't receive.
Did anybody of you also had the same kind of experience or similar incident. If so, please do share.
Why are they doing like that? Do they really think we would do like that, trying to save on an self addressed envelope? It really bothered me for the fact that the lady from the consulate was utterly rude when talking. I am amazed how in the world, The Indian Government is still hiring such people? Of more then a billion population, is that the best person the government of India could find for that customer service post? Its a shame and I am ashamed that such dic*heads working and representing India?
Coming back to the issue...she said sternly, send $20.00 or send envelope stamped otherwise the application would not be processed.
Folks, please let me know where I can complain about this careless attitude of this monster woman. What steps can I take to make sure they don't do that again? I live in TN and I can't fly/drive to Washington DC. The questions is not about the money, but the way they are operating without any ethics is deplorable.
Hoping to hear all your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.

I understand Logic life vehement opinion . I have seen so many guys around me , who want to do nothing unless they are complied to ...Thos people so called educated have no idea of what they have to go through in future to get the final gC . I feel that its time to make this site as paid site .Just like anti immigrant group , we should make this site Searchable /able to post the messages and get expertise opinion ,just for the people who volenteer and /or contribute ...
With the free riders coming on this site , the only things thats going to increase is website hits not the contributions.
We can put a poll to take common consesus.
Just my 2 cents..

I am sure IV core, volunteers and other helpful folks have in the past and continually trying to contact various media agencies and channels to get the necessary coverage.
I think even after the rally, we should still continue to contact these agencies/tv channel websites (by sending them emails maybe.. calling them..) until they know the intensity & urgency of the issue.
Im sure one email will not suffice. The sheer number can make the difference and get their attention.
While the IV core thinks & works on about the future roadmap, I think all the members can try to contact these channels and then direct them to IV core for proper information...
Do you think this may make some difference and add any value to the movement.
Any other suggestions? Is this doable??

Well, I don't know where you got the 6/7 years from. But the way I understand it, 7% per country does NOT mean that any one country is guranteed 7% of the visas. It simply means that no one country will get MORE THAN 7% of visas. So yes, even if your country was issued a very few visas in that fiscal year if the rest of ROW applicants used up all the numbers, you may have to wait for a while depending on your PD.
So if what you are saying is true, then form example, country "A" has only one applicant. Since ROW collectively used all the visa,country "A" has to wait 6/7 years to get visa number?

Hi:
My I-140 has been approved and my PD was Jan 2006. However my company merged with another company recently and I was told I have to re file for a new I-140 with the "new" company. What is your opinion on this matter?
Also my wife is in India right now and needs to go for H4 stamping. Should I wait for her to come back before I file for I-485? Can she file a I-485 later once my I-485 has been filed even though the dates have retrogressed?

People with EB3-India may not expect any kind of fast movement in near future, unless law changes. It will be in snail phase. It is waste discussion to analyze howmany people filled EB3 LC from India in 2002,2003 etc. Generally EB3 is very high demand catagory from all accross the world. EB3 contains skilled worker catagory including cooks, nurses, and so many many non-professional occupations. All the discusion are focussed on demand by Indian IT folks, by ignoring other spectrum of the demand by other group of peoples. Therfore no matter what; EB3-India will get only 3000 EB3 GC per year (Approxmatly 1500 primary).
1500 LC per year EB3 India is a tiny fraction of the demand by EB3 India. Therefore best advise in EB3 India folks to convert into EB2 to get use of early PD like 2002 or 2003.
I agree porting to EB2 will be much faster.

Did you know that Aman Kapoor the founder of IV has contributed $64000 of his personal money towards the efforts of IV? Yes that is correct Sixty Four Thousand USD. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/...eek+exclusives
I was dumbfounded when I first found this out. The man must have real conviction and courage and belief in himself and this effort to do such a selfless act and I am not even talking about the hours and hours of time, mental energy, physical stress and emotional capital he must have invested into OUR effort and I am not talking about all that because that is immeasurable and there is not much we can do to repay all that back but there is something we can do.
Please take out your wallet and repay IV core members who have contributed selflessly to OUR cause.
Every one of us has benefited in some way or the other because of our association to IV and who do we have to thank but the core team who have put so much on the line for OUR cause.
Please join in this effort to reimburse the expenses incurred by IV core to fight for OUR cause. Join http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10708

That said, from what I have been reading on talk radio shows, people are disappointed in general with the GOP - even with the pro amnesty position adopted by Pres. Bush, McCain, Specter, etc - and therefore want to give them a bad time. I don't think that was an endorsement for amnesty at all.
The Ombudsman
So your analysis is: people are unhappy with GOP that �some� of them are in favor of immigration measures and punished them by giving control to a party where �most� of them are certain to support those same measures ????!!!???!!! Its most illogical and even comical analysis I ever heard.
Elections show that American people are much smarter than some politicians/talk show/TV show hosts hoped for. True, elections are fought on much stronger issues like war, economy etc and exit polls have shows that people are not too concerned about illegal immigration issue despite of coverage given by likes of Lou Dobbs. Also based on the fate of candidates who made the immigration their main plank, it can be argued that majority is actually in favor of such measures�..election results are a lot complicated to say anything like that�..but�.its a much more logical conclusion that what you were saying.

I filed my 485 in July 11th and have received the 485 receipts. There is a possibility that I might get laid off before Jan 11 (180 days). My H1 B expires Nov 2008.
Questions
1. Can I stay legally in US if I get laid off in Oct 07 ?
2. How can I proceed with my Green Card process ?
I think this might be a repeat question, but would still like to get your thoughts.

Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. She doesn't have to get on an H4 to be added as a dependent. Since she is on F1, she is already in 'status'.
Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!

Thanks for sticking with IV!!!. Its a bit ironic that you decided to contribute to IV only after 485 measure failed, which you were opposing. I agree with your message of unity, but that should hold good at all times, irrespective of whether you agree and do not agree with IV. People holding off contributions, heckling IV, questioning IV rationale when they don�t agree with IV is outright selfish and should be avoided at all times.
Couple of days back, I do differed with IV objective to persue only filing of I-485 by Feb 15. Also, one gentleman from this forum asked me to quit IV...
I am of the opinion that "Difference of opinion" to achieve goal is OK but not to loose UNITY...
I did not quit IV but today contributed IV because I beleive IV is fighting for Immigration issues/cause..
Amen...!!
