Dear Friend
I know you are very BUSY. But I want your TWO minutes to REGISTER at the Following website as member.
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php
This is very important organization working for your and mine benefit. This is group of people like you and me who are leading fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants who have high skill jobs or have U.S. master or higher degree.
As you might be knowing currently there is backlog for green cards. Unless some rules are modified you and me will not get green card in next five years. Specifically it is much serious condition for people from India, China, Philippines and Several such other countries. As they send lot of highly skilled immigrants and each country have fixed quota for employment based green card.
I know some of you have not yet started working on your green cards. But when you will start, you will realize that it is like doing another master or Ph.D. !!
Above group is formed by people who came here on student or H-1B visa. They are trying to fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants. When you read or listen any thing about immigration you listen only about undocumented or illegal immigrants. No one talks about improving immigration situation for employment based highly skilled immigrants. Those very few from the business group who talks about highly skilled, are only interested in increasing H-1B, so that they can get more educated employees. But if you work on H-1 you will know H-1B has several limitation like inability to change employer, spouse can not work etc. So it is very important to get Green Card as early as you can, if you are on student or H-1b visa.
In current situation even if you are wise and quick enough to decide to act quickly for green card, you can not do any thing except sending papers to USCIS ( INS) and paying their fee and wait endless till you get frustrated and depressed. If you are waiting for your green card you already know it. If you have not you will know it soon. Green card is almost invisible for Highly skilled immigrants from India, China, Philippines and several other countries residents, because of backlogs, country quotas, FBI name check delays, Labor Certification delays and backlogs etc. (Some of these words may be new to you. )
Employment based green card for highly skilled immigrant fall in EB-1, EB-2 and Eb-3 categories. Even if you have PhD and university job , you do not qualify for EB-1.
and that is only open category. For Eb-1 you need tenure track appointment at University with several years of experience, around 20 research papers and several international awards etc. Those who apply for Eb-2 or EB-3 or NIW ( national interest Wavier) should not hope for green card in next five years under current situation
This excellent group of people comprising of many bright people from India, China and many other countries around world, is very active in Washington D.C to change the above situation in our favor. Though it was formed in 2006 only it has around 10,000 members. All of them are fighting for our green card.
I urge you to take look at their website. I am sure you will be impressed by the work they have done in last one year for highly skilled immigrants. They have already established strong political contacts and are using lobbyist to pursuer changes in laws in our favor. This is right time for you to get involved with your future green card process by supporting this organization so that they become successful in their mission.
Before you go through their entire website, I want all of you to register just as a member. So that they can increase the strength of organization. You all might be knowing that In Washington D.C every thing works based on two numbers, votes and economical. That is why when you listen any thing about immigration you always listen about illegal immigrants, because they are in large numbers and are related to several others who are potential voters. Business group also favors them because of economical reasons.
So this organization of Highly skilled immigrants also need your support as member, to show law makers that it represent several thousand highly skilled immigrants.
(we don�t need to be in millions !!) So before you go through their entire website just register as member. It will not take more than a minute.
I also want you to visit this web site regularly, so that you are aware of what is going on in Washington DC in your favor or against, in reference to your future green card or US citizenship. I visit this web site ten times a day. They give minute by minute picture of the show in Washington DC when it is Hot. Also you need to be part of their email, meet the law maker and other activities as per your time convenience.
Let me add they are doing all the LEGAL activity which is fully permitted under US immigration Laws. Still if you have any doubt you can call them to clear your doubt.
Also they need what ever financial support you can do to them. I am also the financial supporter for them. I have contributed few hundred dollars and registered as monthly contributor. I want them to succeed for my, your and future highly skilled immigrants benefit. Remember they are fighting for our green card, which will give us several more rights compare to our current immigration status. It is better to contribute to them rather than paying several thousand dollars to the lawyers. Lawyers just fill forms (you need to check that three times before submitting !!!) and never promise to get you anything. This organization, I am sure with your, mine and other members support will get lot of work done in Washigton D C. So that probably you will not need lawyer for your green card application, and it will become very easy for you to file for Green Card. They had done lot more than what they promised. You can dig in to their website for making your self educated about there fascinating work. Let me add the core team which run this volunteer organization has spent several thousand dollars from their pocket to make this attempt successful, They are that much committed to success and final goals of organization.
I personally urge all my friends like you to register as member for this organization and also contribute financially, if you can, for benefit of your self, me, as well as future green card applicants from highly skilled immigrant community.
Thanks for taking time to read this and registering as �IMMIGRATION VOICE� member.
If you register please email me back with your screen name so that I know you tool action on my request.
After reading this and registering, if you feel, this organization is for you and me, please forward this request to all your friends who are either on student or H-a visa and will need green card in future. They need to be part of this important movement for their future benefit.
THANKS

No member has to search for the lawyer conference call thread in the forums section at all. They just have to read the threads running on the home page!. Every week that we have the conference call, the thread runs with the red title "Free Conference Call on -date- -Lawyer name- frm -firm name", and it is mostly me who keeps the thread alive from Monday through Thursday! I have even started a thread on the Ask the lawyer section announcing this and I kept the thread on the home page until the third week of this month - when we had the last call for the month of March. I have not kept it up on the home page with all the advocacy activities we are involved in - but I would think that the members who benefited from the calls would want to help by keeping it up on the home page...........but that does not happen either (although wait_for_ever_gc and SGP tried for a few weeks).
This is exactly what I mean when I say "frustration" - The services are clear on the title and runs on the home page every week. Yet members say, I can't find it!
i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.

If someone is responsible for the current state of affairs in the H1B area , It is Indian firms . The H1B1 was started in 'GOOD FAITH ' by United States to help people from "all over the world" to come in and work in the US , but large Indian IT houses have overexploited these loopholes so much that we are currently in this sorry state of affairs . In their greed for higher and higher profits(every Indian firm hits 30% profits every quarter ) they have spoiled a perfectly working program a few years ago to such a state that now getting an H1B has got less nothing to do with talent but has become like buying a supperlotto ticket .Below is a very good article from the "Economic Policy Institute " that highlights the fact that 2 well known Indian firms have single handedly lapped up 65% of H1B visas last year and have applied for just 69 green cards . Thats a GC application rate of 0.0004%. i Cannot help agree with the facts in this article. I totally agree that firms like these which abuse the system ought to be severely punished and blacklisted, so that geniunine US companies can get their required workers , when they need them . The link is as below.
http://www.sharedprosperity.org/bp187.html
You are saying what Ron Hira and IEEE-USA is saying.
How can an Indian company apply for H1B? It must be a company registered in USA.
There is a group of loosers who are scaret to compete with Dynamic young
Engineers coming to USA and giving them a tough competetion...
Ron Hira is spokes man for such people.
Green Card is for permanent position and H1B is a temporary VISA.
What is the problem if company thinks a position is temporary and they dont need
to file for green card?
It is incorrect to say that 'INDIAN' companies are spoiling the H1B system.
It is a myth spread by RON HIRA and his followers.

I received an email today from USCIS requesting additional information on my case. My wife received identical email like I did.
Please let me know
1. How many days does it take for USCIS to send the letter.
2. How many days does it take for USCIS to look into my case again once I send the evidence requested.
Did anyone receive similar evidence requests. What evidence do they possibly need in this phase....
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance. Following is the email....
On May 16, 2011, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires.

The notice will explain where to send the evidence and will give the deadline for your response. Your application or petition will be held in suspense during that time.

Hi, lets each get 1 American / Permanent Resident friend/coworker get to call at least 1 person from this list. Granted, they might not be as vested to call all of them. But each call counts. Please have them call at least 1 person. This should take less than 1 minute and if needed, dial from your phone and give it to them :).
Please, consider doing this. I know it is hard. I know it can be uncomfortable. Ask your immediate manager. Ask your coworker. Ask your brother. Ask your graduate TA. Ask your advisor. Ask anyone. Just get those calls out there. This really is about asking them to help you so that you can live a 'normal' life in a free democracy that is less than free for you. Please. Consider asking at least 1 person to call 1 person on this list.
Its not as hard as you might think.
Thanks

I thought visa numbers are available equally per quarter and DOS is prevented from releasing numbers early. How can they say that all the visa numbers have been used (or will be used by April end)?
Q1: Oct-Dec
Q2: Jan-Mar
Q3: Apr-Jun
Q4: Jul-Sep
I think July visa bulletin would bring some good news when numbers for the last quarter along with the spill-over (if any), are released. If USICS is not as efficient we may even see some good advancement. Don't loose hope guys!!
In July EB2 movement is possible due to spillover. EB3, as they say, is all used up, so there will no spillover there.

She has a US passport, both parents are from India - I am not sure if I should just take the 10 yr visa for her or apply for the overseas citizenship card. Is there a benefit to use one over the other? How long does it take to process each of them? Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
My daughter's pp expired March '06. We live in FL, so we need to apply to the Houston center.
So do we (a) apply for a new passport? or is it still 'renewal'?
(b) send renewal fees? how much - is it the same for an adult pp?
Believe me, I have searched all over, up-and-down, for any info on this specific situation (child pp, expired more than one year) but in vain :(.
Thanks,
Radha

Like I said I'm willing to contribute if necessary. We have 50+ people here so it should not break anyone's bank...that's if most of us chip in.

Each points = $50. Example Sold short at 796 and bought at 788. 796-788 = 8 points and that means 8*50 = 400 dollars profit.
E-mini NASDAQ-100 Futures (http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/equity/emini-nasdaq100.html)

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Thanx Pappu, for helping in this campaign!
One more member to join by weekend!
Everyone, please add just ONE member!!!
I had two more of my friends join on the 12th of dec, I just called them and confirmed.
What I have been realising, is that just inviting friends sending emails or "Invite a Friend"
feature on the website is not at all enough. You almost have to follow up with one or two phone calls.
"oh! great, I did not know there is an organisation, I will join it". is very amazing to see the
other extreme of "how can legislation help" to "what is a visa number" and "I-485?"
Anyways it is awareness that we have to build. People affected do not know, there is an organisation that
is working, that they can help and help themselves.
I urge to call and follow up, meet personally if possible. Last night again I met 1 other couple and talked to them
about immigration. I know some people feel it is personal to ask about status of their GC Process. I suggest you
talk to them about your process, and how limited visa numbers and retrogression with country quotas is creating
this bottleneck. Talk to them that without legislative change, they are looking at 6-10 years or more.

You can send 2 x 2 photo.. they will cut and make it like a 3.5cm x 3.5cm Or you can use epassportphoto dot com to get yourself a 3.5cm x 3.5cm passport photos for less.
Can i have both the address to be a India permanent address? Is there any way to avoid US address in passport? Presently i am on H1 visa. I have entered with L1 visa which is expired. Later my company transferred me to H1 visa which is not stamped. What are the documents i need to submit for visa proof?

As far as I know conversion from H4 to H1 comes under cap unless you are in one of the exempt categories.
