gaz, I have contributed before, but I am still unable to access some posts. Could that be a problem with the website or am I not understanding you right :confused:? Thanks.
the current subscription model is setup only for members currently contributing. So if you sent a contribution since the FOIA drive - you should have access - contact admin if you don't.

What I'm talking about is that I like the idea of members who have contributed earlier to have their contributions applied retroactively towards membership (eg. if someone contributed $123 - they get 4 months of membership - i.e. multiples of $25 per month)
Its only a thought - upto the core and a quorum to decide and act on this.

This country seems to be discriminatory against everybody except for people from Mexico and Latin America. The per-country quota's make sense since one wouldn't want immigrants from a particular country or set of countries (India and China) to disrupt the racial mixture of this country. But then why don't they apply the same logic to illegal immigrants from Mexico? They are predominantly of the same race and if they are allowed to stay here and bring their families, it won't be too long until they are the majority ethnic group in this country. Even if one assumes that there are a million plus applications from Indians and Chinese stuck in the green card line, we are only a small fraction of the total number of illegal immigrants! If you are going to have per-country quotas, apply them uniformly across the board- don't give amnesty to millions of people of mexico who are also brown skinned, while making legal, law abiding people from other countries wait for decades! Imagine how long it'll take for illegals to get a Greencard if they applied in EB3 and waited in line for their visa number to be current like the rest of us. Most of them would probably go back to where they came from once faced with that prospect.
I find it highly Ironic that EB2 is current for Mexico and not for India, even though Mexico sends tonnes more people here than India.

Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.
I have never flown with them. I always prefer AA and Continental direct flight. Nobody I know have ever flown with AF and now I will make sure nobody ever does.
I hope media in India makes a very big deal out of this issue. They will learn their lesson.

Air India service is not good. My wife runs an online travel agency. Last week one of the customer had to fly for his marriage. When he called air india to reconfirm they said there is no booking, even though he paid the whole money a month before.
Another family while returning from COK-BOM-USA after reaching BOM Air India said only father got the tickets while the kidz doesnt have any booking. The important thing here is that the family had travelled together from USA to India on Air India and the father was very upset. They lost one day at airport and the baggage.
Travel agents in USA dont sell Air India tickets normally because they get poor service from Air India.
Only travel agents make 10-20 as margin and at the end customer is going blame the travel agent or to make any changes it is going to take a hell lot of time. ( Usually it is very difficult )
Travel agents sell Air India ticket only if a customer specifically requests that.

Couldn't stop writing this one liner to appreciate you sense of humor :D :D :D - hope we stop wasting IV server space and contribute towards positive discussion than a travel review site ...
The discussion is getting more and more interesting. somebody posted his/her experience with a particular airlines in the begining and lot of us joined in to crucify him/her for having said that. Then saxena came with his private jet and flight atendents and now saxena is getting rounded up. Interestingly UP/Bihar came up (knowingly / unknowingly) almost as a derogatory remark. Then somebody proved that its not UP/Bihar but south indians who are really hipocrites. In between all this somehow the airlines industry people escaped and are laughing. The final take seems to be something like this; We have chosen to be frustrated and if the earth doesn't give us reasons we will look for it in the sun. Either way we will reach our goals. Now let us make a tally of how many reds / greens each person got and find the winner.
Whenever and if at all I ever get to meet the creator divine I will certainly ask him how drunk he/she really was when he created the human brain.
Anyway sorry for interupting the "serious" discussion. Please continue...

Good Idea!!!
Make AF flight crew wait it out in some mosquito infested lounge for 10 hours before clearing their immigration. Call it something like quarantine for French swine flu or something. But do give them a bottle of water and enough spicy Indian food. :D
Repeat this at random for a few weeks. AF will be paid back in Euros :D.
BTW, I used to stay in France (and Holland 98-2000) and had a fairly good experience when I was there. Never really felt any racial discrimination. Only thing that they want you to do in France is try to speak French that's it.
I bear no ill will to the French or the other EU folks. This is a fight with the Airline and let's keep the discussion to that. :)

IV core needs to develop a thick skin, and not be affected by barking dogs like these.
I'm all for IV!! This is the only organization fighting on behalf of those stuck in GC retrogression. There are some anti-immigrants who come to this website, sign up under Indian identities, and try their darnest best to bog down the efforts....
I agree. The message from this "anand" does sound like that from an anti-immigrant.

I know IV is doing its best and there are other groups fighting for HR 5882.
But honestly, what are the chances for this bill to succeed this year (before election)?
100% or 75% or 50% or 25% or 0%
Ron Gotcher predicts that none of the individual bills may pass this year.
And also that EB3 I may not move forward even next year!
I am not sure how many EB3 (I) volunteers are there in IV (who are really focussed). Are they getting nothing? The prediction is that EB3 I may go back to Nov 2001 and stay there for a while (or may be for the rest of next year).
Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, of course)? What are they fighting for?
Here are some of my own personal thoughts:
How can one tell a percentage number for something to pass? What kind of data can we base our calculations on?
Who said EB3 India will not forward next year? Did DOS say that? An individual lawyer is not Dept. Of State. I would like to see a written proof from DOS saying this so that we can plan ahead.
There were many naysayers for the July 2007 bulletin. But IV was able to get it current again. So stop believing in predictions and believe in yourself.
I believe it is immigrants more than anyone who will benefit the most from the success of IV's efforts. Thus it is in our interest to make IV successful.
Everyone is free to take part in IV campaigns. Nobody is being 'exploited'. However, if we had a more massive effort for admin fixes, we could have seen better results. With only around 5K letters (and that too a lot of anonymous ones) you cannot expect something to happen quickly. If you are trying to convey a plight of hundreds of thousands that you need hundreds of thousands of letters.
Likewise if you need these bills to move, we cannot expect a couple hundred calls to bring a bill on the floor.
IV is IV members. It is what each IV member decides to do that decides the fate of any campaign. The contributions received during the campaign also decides how much we can invest in our lobbyists. During the past 2 months we were able to collect only $16656 (refer this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18790)). You can do your math and figure how much we can lobby when we have opposition that can spend much more.

Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.
desi3933,
I completely agree what you said and what is interpreted in the law.
BUT if they really go by law , JULY 2007 fiasco SHOULD never happen.
If you see my earlier post, author has clearly mentioned that "USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin."
Please refer paragraph 8 from:
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
Well, again its up to CIS how they interpret the law... Atleast if we request them to allow pre filing they might go easy on this and allow us to file for AOS.
Thanks a lot
-Kiran :)

the good point is that lot of people till end 2003 got their GC's in states like georgia. I guess many people in states like california must have gone to EB2 or gone back to their countries. lot of companies closed their shops but at the same time there was lot of labor substitution. I guess at this point EB3 - (I) cannot do much except pray and sleep(and hope one of the advisors to the president / congressmen tell them that more or speedy legal immigration actually helps US (in housing / SSN mess / medicare / tech innovation / outsourcing etc etc).
I was talking to a manager (naturalized citizen) of a top company and he said the same ..baby boomers are /will be retiring and you will see more old people in usa rather than youngsters - this is the most important advantage that countries like china and India have (young population).
as EB2(I) and world wide dates starts to move ahead - I guess future support to IV (or any campaigns) would continue to diminish
