I think we could have used some popular tactics to ensure larger attendance in the rally. If the core knew that people like Sheela Murthy and Greg Siskind would be joining the rallly, they should have let everybody know in advance. some people would have attended just to see those big names in person.
I know it's all about ideology and you can say we don't need people who don't want to come for the cause, but looking at what other anti-immigration groups are resorting to, it wouldn't have been a bad idea.

Sc3 and other friends. Here is what has triggered this bad blood on the forum
Apr VB EB2 is U and EB3 is doing well every one is normal exactly like every other VB no surge of threads and replies everything is normal
July VB Eb2 is in Apr 2004 and Eb3 is in U again every thing is normal
Aug VB Now suddenly Eb2 is 2006 and Eb3 is U ( no change) and all of a sudden there is a flood of e-mails complaining injustice against EB3. I think the timing of when Eb3 folks realized injuistice is what ticked off many.
I am not saying every one shares this feeling but just the sheer volumes of posting on this thread speaks for itself. I am sure many do not agree with me (or least pretent not to agree) Any one can query Eb3 injuistice posting before Aug VB and compare it since this bulletin was posted and see the data speaks for itself we do not need any body to prove anything

Seems to me , either you are paid by AF to defend them here or you are one of those who like pizza than roti. The moment these things happen to you , you will be shouting on top of your lungs but when it happens with your fellow countrymen you can't empathize.. are you so insensitive or just like to be French.
The 2 things I like about france is a french kiss and having a french kiss with a french chick
I find your quote to be insulting to a large group of persons, some of whom could be potential members of IV. If anyone had made such a comment about Telgu-speakers or Punjabi-speakers, there would be outrage.
Last I checked, this was not supposed to be desi-centric forum.

I am on H1b..not using EAD...also one of my buddies is working on EAD and he got his EAD renewal approved last week..i guess USCIS donot look at current immigration status to issue EAD...
I got the same email this morning and status said EAD was ordered on june 30th.
I am pretty sure we will get a 2yr EAD but will just have to wait 2 more days to confirm this.... I wonder if they are looking at the current status and if you are on h1b they are issued 1yr and processed it before june 30, while if you are currently on EAD, they kept them until June 30th.. I doubt it but just a theory...

The problem is quota of 90,000 visas is available for petitions filed before October 1st 2007. MBS will not start until October 1st 2008 (because of 270 days gap).
So assuming this is all correct and comes to pass what will EB GC applicants do from the date this is decreed to take effect (May 15th, June 19th October 1st etc.) until October 2008? Will there just be no applications allowed for over a year and existing applications made past the cut-off date get scrapped?

You can certainly twist that interpretation. That is unrelated though.
Remember that pro amnesty folks and Democrats are in sync with Karl Rove on immigration. Immigration was more like a neutral ground on this given the magnituted of other issues.

"Payback's a bitch.
There is no way to spin the election results. They were a repudiation of George W. Bush, his party, his agenda, and his war. The commander in chief argues that he is fighting a war in Iraq that is essential to the survival of the United States. The electorate sent a message: we don't buy it. "
It is obvious that the war and the recent scandals are the solely reason on why Republicans lost seats in the House. See polls conducted all over the place showing that. I just read an exit poll at CNN in which the war and scandals were the solely driving force on this.
Put yourselves on the American's shoes; how would you vote if you have your own son dying in Iraq. With all the due respect, Pres. Bush persistence on "staying the course" is frightening. What would you do in this situation ? That's the most serious thing one can imagine. Then you see "conservatives" involved in cases of corruption and gay sex, you ask yourself, what the heck. The GOP really messed up big time. Americans are not stupid. They voted the GOP out as a way to show that those not doing a good job would be kicked out.
To the advantage of those wanting amnesty, that may go in their favor. Just remember that you may get your GC, but then that may also mean that America as we know it may be coming to an end. Wait until those 20+ million petition for their relatives and install here their way of life.

When President Bush delivered his CIR speech, Lou Dobbs criticized CIR as amnesty and he went on suggesting "No bill is better than a bad bill" to Congressman Sensenbrenner et. al.
Sensenbrenner took this advice verbatim and finally rejected CIR instead of conferencing on modifying it.
I think Congress got the blame later and was termed "Do-Nothing Congress" mainly for this.
It is a bitter lesson for politicians not listening to Senate or President but to Lou.
IMHO, if Congressman Sensenbrenner took CIR to conference (instead of a month-long public hearings) to remove controversial provisions and pass legitimate provisions like the border fence measures, public would have retained the current congress.

Your rights as a participant of a bulletin board or online forum like Immigration Voice forums:
The rights of bloggers (site admin, site owner or site moderators), their liability and section 230. Section 230 refers to Section 230 of Title 47 of the United States Code (47 USC � 230) (http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/47/230.html). To learn the plain English language explanation of this section, go here: http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-230.php (http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-230.php)
What this means is that whenever someone posts anything against anyone, Immigration Voice is immune from libel suits or defamation lawsuits, with couple of exceptions (discussed in item 2). Therefore, any anonymous poster saying bad things about their lawyers, employers, or anyone else DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DELETED.
Immigration Voice is not going to delete, edit or moderate the posts and threads posted by our members no matter how defamatory or criticizing they are. That�s because A) Immigration Voice is not liable for what our members do or not do per section 230 and B) Immigration Voice needs to give freedom to members to vent out against the incompetent immigration lawyers and/or dishonest employers because that is what makes us unique and different from censored forums and it is the ESSENCE of this bulletin board.
Other than couple of exceptional scenarios (see point # 2), we are not liable for content posted by users of message boards, forums, discussion boards etc. Section 230 protects Immigration Voice website administrator and moderator against libel suits or other lawsuits caused by participants who post messages against their lawyers, employers or anyone else. A recent example of such a case is illustrated in 22 page opinion of a federal judge in DiMeo V Max (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1149152717145).
The exceptions when Section 230 protections won�t work.Section 230 will not protect Immigration Voice if site moderators and administrators themselves post content that causes damages to others. We (site admin and moderators) will not edit or delete posts that say bad things about other orgs or persons - no matter how derogatory or defamatory they are against some lawyers, employers etc. We are not liable or responsible for them and legally it�s best and safest for moderators/site admins to leave those posts alone. Besides, that is one reason why people come to this site � freedom to vent out without any censorship, sometimes even against the Immigration Voice leadership and core group.
The other scenario when the section 230 wont protects us is in case of intellectual property. So don�t post any patented information or technology details on this website. However the laws give us a lot of latitude when we post some news articles or other content created by other sources. More details of intellectual property are here on this link. http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-ip.php (http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-ip.php).
Are we obligated to provide information to plaintiffs about our anonymous posters?First of all, most of the time, we ourselves don�t know the anonymous posters and who they are. The most we can do is provide IP address. Those IP addresses too are not easy to pin down in certain kinds of network environments. However, we will not give any information about our members to anyone unless and until we are subpoenaed for it. Subpoenas are either issued by law enforcement or by plaintiffs who file the lawsuit. Unless we are subpoenaed, we don�t have to give away any information like IP or email of any anonymous poster. Immigration Voice will never make the IP address or any information available to anyone unless it is ordered by court. Immigration Voice will use all possible legal avenues to protect the privacy and anonymity of its members and online discussion participants.
What if someone with deep pockets sues Immigration Voice with the objective of shutting us down, even though they know they don�t have a case, but want to sue us just to drag us into expensive court battle and make us bankrupt?There is nothing that protects Immigration Voice (or any such website with discussion boards and forums) from frivolous lawsuits. Anyone can sue anyone else, whether he or she lose or win is a different matter. Section 230 protects immigration voice from libel lawsuits resulting from anonymous participants posting messages that cause damages to organizations or individuals. They are even more counterproductive for the plaintiff if that state has ANTI-SLAAP laws.
SLAAP means �Strategic lawsuit against active participation�. If someone sues us just to make us bankrupt and shut us down without caring for outcome of the case, then it�s a SLAAP lawsuit. The objective is such lawsuit is not to win but to drag the other party into expensive court battle and make them bankrupt. Some states have laws against SLAAP lawsuits called ANTI-SLAAP laws. They are different in every state. What those laws do in general is make the plaintiff of SLAAP lawsuit pay the defendant for the cost of litigation and defense if they lose. So if someone from state that has ANTI-SLAAP laws sues us, then the money we spend on litigation would have to be paid by plaintiffs if they lose. Therefore there is good chance of finding a pro-bono lawyer because if they win, they get paid from the other party. What this means is that it�s difficult to drive someone to bankruptcy with frivolous lawsuits if the state has good ANTI-SLAAP laws. California is one example. Therefore the chances of us getting sued by someone in CA are lesser than other states.
Should any party sue Immigration Voice for libel based on posted messages on online forums, Immigration Voice will fight back to the fullest extent and will not remove posts or threads against those organizations.
What should one do if they have been badly hurt due to incompetence or malfeasance on the part of employer or lawyers?Immigration Voice will neither encourage nor discourage members to post messages against their employers or lawyers or any other party. Members and participants are free to post whatever they want to post. If you lawyer�s actions have hurt you and if you think it�s due to malpractice then you can file a complaint against that lawyer in a state bar. If your employer�s action has hurt you and if you think his actions are illegal, then you can file a complaint against your employer at the department of labor (for wages issues) or other departments for other issues.

I remember in one of Dem party primary debates there was a related question on immigration (general immigration) - Obama answered that in positive way and in fact brought up the legal/employment based immigration issue on his own and mentioned that it needs to be speed up the process and make changes so that fresh talent is attracted - ofcourse at the end he added that american interests have to kept in mind while coming up with employment based immigration system (I remember gist of his response not the exact one)- but his whole response was very positive and if I remember correctly none of other candidates even mentioned employment based immigration - they answered generic immigration (meaning illegal) issue.
Does this mean anything - not much. As someone already mentioned both candidates are in favor of legal employment based immigration and increasing it to some extent - or atleast give some token support for this. But both of them may not take any active stand to make it a priority item - because there are other issues that people (their voters) care more about now like war in iraq, economy, gas prices, health care etc. etc. Both of them may not touch immigration until later in their term. Inevitably when they do touch it - it will be in the form of CIR and it will be big can of worms. Presidents can set the agenda and may issue limited administrative orders - but the expectation that either McCain or Obama will come out for EB community and unilaterally increase the quote or issue an admin order to solve our issue is IMPRACTICAL - and wont happen.
Our best bet is something to happen thru Congress. And our best bet is thru some relatively non-controversial bill like HR5882 (not CIR) - yes its a stop gap measure but it does solve many of EB issues until a new CIR comes into play. If you remember the golden days of EB in early years of this decade are because of a similar visa recapture in last days of Clinton administration - we need something similar.

Dear All,
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?
High time we stay focused and use this forum in a positive way!
May the SUPREME POWER bless the Indian EB community!
What is the guarantee that spillover will happen. I agree with your post. we all are stuck in this mess. sometimes i feel that , Coming to USA was a bad decision for me.. now its too late after spending 10+ years here.

If they never updated the lawyer info....(AC21 papers being lost is not unusual at all, it happens commonly, as there is no set form for it, mail room does not know what to do with it and so it gets misplaced). However, even if they did not have AC21 info, they would have sent an RFE or at least NOID. All these could be LOST if they went to OLD attorney.
So Infopass is a good idea. To at least get this info and also to get the actual denial notice which may have to to the old attorney as well (to see on what grounds they denied it so you can file MTR accordingly).
Of course, a good attorney is a must.
All in all, I think, it should be ok at the end of the day (just a painful waiting period full of uncertainty) unless they revoked it based on some misrepresentation.
Good Luck.
I tried to get the denial reason but InfoPass doesn't seem to have that information or doesn't wanted to provide me because it;s denied on 12th they wanted me to wait for 2-3 days more for denial notice.

Please provide good reasons to purse EB3 to EB2 thru another company. I am not getting enough motivation or strong points to port from EB3 to EB2. Please provide serious input. I will definetly purse new job for porting.
Some of the reasons in my mind to go for EB2 thru new job:
1. Immigration freedom (like financial freedom)
2. All new and old eb2 filers are going to get green card before me. I am not jelous about them if I have filed my case recently. But my filing happend 7 years back. So, I should really think about it but not in terms of jealous.. it could be shame on my part...
3. Immigration rules and regulation fluctuations..
4. Early GC means, early citizenship. Chance to survive here in Federal, Navy, Army IT jobs with security clearnace if get citizenship early. Otherwise, govt. sector will also be saturated. My position is taken away just because of not gettting early GC.. Too much think ah!!
Some of the reasons in my mind for not to go for EB2 thru new job:
1. Unneccearily touching the immigration process one more time and is kind of risky when INS dig deep into and do micro auditing the old and new filings. Though my case is strong,, they some time create tensions... you know what I am talking about..
2. I have EAD. Just like GC. So, what else make difference..
3. After spending lot of years in North East winter weather, I moved to NC. Good place in terms of everything. If I start looking for job, not sure whether I get here or somewhere in cold.
Unable to decide about porting. Please provide your serious input so that I get good motivation. I have MS and have excellent skills in J2EE/WebSphere world. Not able to buy home due this EB3/EB2 porting in my mind. Because location change may happen if I decided to go for porting and place change happens due to that. And also not sure whether I need to look for Desi employer or corporate. I am with corporate now.. decade.
Thanks

Desi, with due respect, I have to clarify this, I am not talking about H1B status here I am talking about "unauthorized work" part upon change of sponsor.
Please explain.
