Thank you. The community needs to wake up. Times are going to be tough not just for H1B but for everyone else in line for GC.
Advocacy is a long term process that requires lot of efforts and resources. We should not be expecting quick results because of one month's contribution. That is peanuts when you compare it with the amount being spent against us.
It is high time people join the state chapters and try to lead them if your state chapter is dormant or inactive. Action items will happen but we need to be ready. Try to get more people in IV. The mantra for success will be mass participation in the coming times. It should not be a couple of hundred phone calls or faxes that happened last year, but hundreds of thousands of calls, faxes and thousands of meetings.
If we can achieve that then we will definitely increase chances of success significantly this year.
This community needs to think how it can increase mass participation on IV and bring everyone waiting in line on IV platform.
IV core needs to come up with new campaign too. if not now, then say 3 months from now. it definitely needs to come up with something ..either to highlight our problems / contributions or for something like recapture.
without meaningful campaigns, increasing memberships or donations is an illusion !!!

Guys,
Again, post your field of work. I somehow see reluctance here on the part of posters. 2 to 3 have done so, but the rest have not. If it is only IT for the major part, we have to analyse and see why IT is being targeted for audits... ?
thanks!
I think all the fields are getting targeted. I am not from IT. As per my attorney, current situation is that PERMS for EB2's are getting 100% audited.

My wife and son are going to India on vacation this summer. Their current H4 visa got expired (June 2006) on their passports. They have a valid I-797 notice expiring Oct 2007.
However, I am applying my H1B extension next month and will get 3 years extension sometime in May 2007. I want to get them visa stamp based on my new approval notice.
For dependent H4 visa stamp, do they need their own approval notice 797 or principal's approval notice be sufficient to get the stamping?
Thanks.

The Lockbox process is for intake and receipt of paper-filed applications. Since the intake and receipt of e-Filed applications is electronic, the lockbox is out of the picture. Supporting documentation should be sent to the Service Center address on the confirmation page.

Can someone help me with this...
As per the new rules for indian passport nenewal, you are supposed to fill an online form which would prepare a PDF file with your entries , and then you have to take a printout and submit it at the cosulate.
But the problem is, there are many more questions in the PDF from which are not even mentioned in the online form.
My dilemma is,
What do I do with the entries in the PDF form (passport) that are NOT filled by the online form ? Am I supposed to fill them by pen or just leave them alone ?

dudes,
I have requested to post your PERM details for the filed of work, TWICE now. Except for one, nobody responded. You guys are not telling about your filed of work. Looks like those who are in PERM trouble are from IT related filed ?
I am trying to see what prompts these audits. EB2 or EB3 or It or combination of EB2/EB3 and IT or non IT.

Approved today in the most RESPECTED way for both Primary and Derivative.
--No Porting
--EB2- with qualified credentials: BS Engg;MS USA;
--No substitution
Called USCIS CS and verified information; and CS opened SR
Has been a long wait. Came in 1999 for MS, straight out of college from home country.
Oh your status said mentioned it as "RESPECTED". May be you are a special case for USCIS. Good for you.
I hope you realize that the only thing you gained is the disrespect of your peers. Enjoy it.

Honorable Lofgren had brought about very valid points and it seems too good to be true. (pessimism)
But if this is true We are all in, in next few days. (optimism).
The Twist is if this is true chances are H. Lofgren will cut a deal, remember there are heavyweights on the other side too. Its too embarrasing for all of them. ( realism)
I wish my optimism comes true though, that way I can tell my children when they grow up as to who made the difference and stood up for RIGHT CAUSE and questioned WRONG DOING without fear and that would be Hon. Lofgren.

BTW our life has been between these three "ism" phases for god knows how long. (anantkaal) - time immemorial

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html
Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated
2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.
Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

Great Job, Kudos to you for making such an effort.
Similar to this, we need as many efforts as we can have.
To further continue this effort, I would suggest writing letters to your local congress rep & Senator, particularly those who have been waiting for over 5 years.
More effective approach will be to contact local media.
Since we have a unique situation, I would recommend start a request to separate legal employment based migrants from other categories.
BOTTOM LINE: We can not wait for CIR, this is NOT about comprehensive immigration reform, this is a requirement from current employment based immigration system.
