Hi
I agree there is lot of injustice to applicants stuck in pre perm system. But with elimination of LC substitution and a timeline of 45 days between LC and 140,
tons of pre perm applications after approved will go nuts becoz the candidates have already left the employers .
I am sure that dates will remain current in August also. I believe INS will give EAD and will let all wait for GC therefore needs to go to Parole. Once you are in AP, that means, you all are golden eggs laying ducks to INS everyyear.
One +ve plus for is , DESI companies are gone and we can change jobs but its premium price for lot of guys for years to pay .
Good. My LC is not even started. I am holding my breathe and congratulations to all my brothers and sisters who can file 485.
Good Luck

It looks like most people want to believe just what is good for them. I have yet to see the document that says "It is illegal to issue interim visa bulletins or stop accepting applications mid month".
Don't kill the messenger.
Be concerned and be VERY CONCERNED. Being in denial will not help. Work with the assumption that the dates might go back any time. If your conditions does not permit you to file in the first week there is not much you can do. Tough luck if the dates go back. But if there are things you can do , please do...
I will give you an example, It is very difficult to get medical appointments where I live and the first opportunity was July last week. I traveled 120 miles (not much) and got mine done last week, where as a friend of mine did not want travel and took the local appointment for Jul 3rd week assuming he can file by Jul31. With the change in dynamics he has to revise the plans and may not get the appointment 120 miles away.
I mean to say, work with the goal to apply ASAP.

Yes, that's true.
it does contradict with what they said in April VB, but Ron said that his source is Oppenheimer. so I would go with what he said. remember, it was Oppenheimer who told him back in Feb or early Mar that India EB2 will have a cutoff date in April.

We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.
For the future, we definately need more members. So the add a member campaign is very important.

I gurantee monthly contributions. But, sorry, don't trust the automated & recurring transfers. I can sense there maybe other people with the same thought.
Instead of a target number of recurring contributors, can you publish target monthly contributions (e.g. $XK target for Jan & $YK target for Feb and so on). It will be easier for us to gauge the shortage.
Any insight into the distribution of spend (bet. lobbyists, admin etc) would be very useful too.
Please PM core

You mentioned Stimulus package and ITIN issue, as I remember people with spouses having ITIN didn't get any rebate...
That is for the 2008 stimulus. They were going to do the same in 2009, but it was reversed at the last minute. I am sorry I could not get the 2008 stimulus overturned. The best we were able to do was the HEART Act, which only helps those who are active military. However, the 2009 stimulus is available for everyone. This time it is not a one time payment, but you will see a small increase in your monthly paycheck.

:mad: Adding more to the article. For those guys working in California do you notice additional tax component of California State Disability Insurance where they take money from us stating that the money is going to be used for the poeple who are disabled and cannot work. This is again a huge joke since if we are disabled we will be out of work and when we are out of work we lose our status and we will be sent back. We pay They Play They Enjoy.

I sent my passport for renewal during first week of Oct 07 and still have no clue about the status of my passport. I am at their mercy now, hoping & praying that I will get a new passport soon. No one gives any updates. I just cannot seem to get hold of anyone at this consulate when I call during 2.00pm -4.00pm to check on the status of my application. If by mistake anyone picks up the phone, she does not have any status update and asks us to call after few weeks again.
I sent email & fax to see if I can find out anything about my passport, but no one cares to answer. Their customer service is pathetic to say the least. If only I can find the email address of Vice Consul or that of Indian ambassador in Washington DC, I would like to send a detailed email about the kind of service I received....knowing very well that it will not serve any purpose to anyone. Thats the way those idiots work, and no one can do anything about it.
You are absolutely right. The Indian embassy and consulates are the worst places to deal with. I have had several experiances at different locations, they proved to be equally pathetic. Thay don't pick up the phones at all. They all have the same attitude of our govt offices in India "What will I get, otherwise we don't care".
You can e-mail them or fax them or call them. Your call will never be returned. I needed a document to start my residency in 2004, I tried all possible ways, nothing worked. Finally I found Ambassador's e-mail from one of my family friends, who is a senior IAS officer in Rajasthan and e-mailed the ambassador explaing my situation and mentioned that atleast I deserve a phone call from the Consulate for being a citizen of India. Later my work was done in a matter of hours. But I cann't e-mail Ambassador for everything.......
The best things one can do are
1. Try to go in person and get your work done ASAP.
2. Get all possible documents like OCI, PIO cards, visa etc, for you children even they are not needed.
2. Don't lose your passport at any circumstance. (you may even forget your life saving medicine, rest assured, you can get them in an hour)
3. Avoid embassy or consulate at all. Don't even take that road.
4. Encourage all your enemies to get some thing done from Indian consulates,. Trust me, they will never find time or energy to bother you.
I guess we all need to raise our voice and let the ambassador know that they have a clear timelines for all citizens at least in America (Forget about in India)
God bless all, not just some

It is good to see the combined Immigration community efforts are bringing results. However, it appears that no attention is being paid to raise the issue of children ageing out because of visa t the benefit under CSPA.
I hope some one from Immigration Voice leadership team will take a lead to highlight such issues also before the law makers.
My elder son also aged out in 2005, and fortunately, we had Canadian PR Card by then and he had to move out of the country. He had completed his three years of college in US and when moved to Canada had to loose one and a half years of credits as Canada did not recognize all the classes he had taken in US..
What a waste of time and money due to this broken Immigration sytem..

Hastert Deals Blow to Immigration Bill
By SUZANNE GAMBOA
The Associated Press
Tuesday, June 13, 2006; 7:57 PM
WASHINGTON -- Hopes for a quick compromise on immigration were dealt a blow Tuesday after House Speaker Dennis Hastert said he wanted to take a "long look" at a Senate bill offering possible citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants.
Hastert said hearings on the Senate bill should be held before appointing anyone to a House-Senate committee to negotiate a compromise immigration bill. Later, he said he was unsure what the House's next move would be.
The Immigration Debate
IMG ALT The Washington Post's coverage of the immigration issue, from the politics of revising the nation's immigration laws to the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border and the Washington region.
"We're going to take a long look at it," Hastert said late Tuesday.

Hi Folks,
for those looking for a hotel to stay. There is a decent "Microtel" hotel near BWI in Linthicum Heights, MD . They offer free ride to/from the BWI airport, and the train station. The trains will go to the Union Station, DC. They also offer free breakfast, and wireless internet. If you can share room, it'll work out really inexpensive. Hope this helps.

First of all, the topic of this thread is a total waste of time.
We hardly have enough support, funding, time etc. to fight GC related issue, and here people wasting time on discussing Citizenship! I am politely asking these people if any of you have contributed any of your time/money/effort to IV, Did you? Simply hypocrisy.
And top of that people in this thread are using extreme foul language.
Please close this thread.
Thank you for having the sense to see that thread AND idea is a total waste of every one's time.

I think PD recapturing is the only solution. We don't know if CIR will pass in 2010 or 2011. Neither do we know that if that is good or bad for legal immigration.
Guys we should work with IV to get the PD recapture.
Since CIR is pushed back now , timing is perfect.

I thought IV core is supposed to come out with action items (or lead - all they need to do is come out with an action thread and people will follow).
if people were to follow all calls from ordinary members then 2 things would have happened ..one IV would have been more dynamic (Since everyone is calling for action items) and people would be running in all directions.
this is probably my last post ..what is frustrating is that whenever anyone asks genuine questions ..people just jump and attack.
as for lobbying ...the maths is simple ..if IV is collecting around 10k (or less) every month ..then it will take 5 plus years to collect the money for any sensible lobbying ...
You are talking as if you follow IV core to their word. People like you criticize IV but never do any useful contribution. You didn't even fill your profile. You haven't contributed even for FOIA and now saying the IV is collecting very less money. Are you insane??
