also send another mail using Invite a friend tool

We need to have more members to succeed in the months ahead.

The bottomline is that for every 10 immigrants, there will be 5 or more from India and China.

A good formal education is always desirable. I have no problem with that. What I take objection to is this entitlement mentality of some folks. A degree does not entitle a person to anything. It may help people get their foot in the door, but then on, they should be judged purely by contribution and merit. This is mostly the case in US and the reason why most Indians do well here. Contrast this to an Indian system and you see all sorts of differentiation going on. An engineering graduate thinks a commerce graduate is dirt. A commerce student thinks a history student is typically retarded. An IAS officer thinks he is GOD :D. A US degree holder (of Indian origin) thinks he should be ahead of immigration line. It goes on...
In all this, we are forgetting the actual person and attaching too much weight to an educational certificate issued by an institute/university. Education is an on going thing. It is good to have formal education, but we often forget universities are not the only sources of education and degree certificates the only credentials. Heck, even USCIS recognizes this :D.
Ladies and gents, if anyone of you have that coveted PhD from Stanford, don't jump into water yet, thinking you can walk on it :D:D
</Rant>
Is USCIS doesn't give a damn about educational credentials why do they they have EB2 category for Aliens with Advanced Degree, EB1 category for Aliens with Ph.D, Uncapped H1 for Aliens with US degrees etc..
Even Canadian point based Immigration system assigns more points for aliens with advanced degrees.

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.

e-filed (NSC) on 04/19 and received the notice on 04/23. No update after that.
Called the customer care today. The representative opened a SR as I haven't received biometric appointment notice. Not sure how that's going to help as many folks have got their EAD without fingerprinting.
EAD expires on 92nd day. So keeping the fingers crossed :(

Wow! Lots of advices and opinions. Meanwhile the housing slump is expected to continue well into 2010. I remember many people on this board challenging me last year 'how do you know it will go down', despite me posting the supporting data and the trend. It has gone down and will keep going down until it becomes cheap/affordable. Maybe 2000 price levels?

Come to think of it, Sec. Rice said it was a case of miscommunication between the 2 agencies. Could it be that USCIS actually wanted them to make these dates current in August and DOS jumped the gun, and lot of people got screwed.

We need active participation from members for the action item listed on this thread. CHC member are taking a very hard stand on the 3 bills introduced by Lofgren. If members (esp. constituents) don't call in large numbers and urge the CHC members to support the bills. The 3 bills may not even see the house floor. CHC members want only one immigration bill (CIR), nothing else is accepted.
Please ask u'r friends and colleagues (who are constituents of CHC lawmakers) to participate in this crucial action item.
Folks
Please call CHC members. They will kill our bills.

PlainSpeak
01-13 09:16 AM
This is typically what anti-immigrant and competitor websites do, they never donate or take part in advocacy activities - like PlainSpeak. examples of anti-immigrants are numbersUSA, FAIR and many others. your game is up, you can leave this website.
They pick up a thread that educates members about advocaccy and pretend to have an argument and completely divert the topic. If people have questions there are better ways to talk to management or core.
There were very valid posts about meeting lawmakers and requests for ideas for a better EB system, which were all supressed thanks to the negative campaign.
Admins please delete posts of PlainSpeak as his goal is to hamper advocacy efforts.
This is a grass-root effort and there is no nice way of getting rid of weeds.
Freeloader weeds are just filling up our Server disk space that we pay for, with their bullshit.
My Friend tonyHK12
Has it come to this that i am now an anti immigrant (numbersUSA, FAIR) for speaking my mind. With persons like you an anti immigrant does not need to make an effort. Please get this clear anti iimigrants do not care about immigrants period. They are against you and me both.
My friend if you have concerns about free loader weeds who are filling up the server disk space (which you pay for) which i feel is a genuine concern they why not make the following option listed below which you as a IV paid member can certainly get implemented via IV core
- Make IV website a paid website. Only thing a person can do for free is read the posts.
- To write a post the person has to be a paid member
- Make membership a recurring monthly payment like how you do for collecting advocacy donations currently
- Use this new membership money for whatever needs to be done for IV
You still do not get it my friend
- I am ready to pay membership to IV to air my views and concern which i feel is genuine
- I refuse on principle to pay donation for advocacy which i believe is not working towards aleivating the concerns on issues of the largest group stuck by retrogression which IV represents
- My goal is to NOT hamper advocacy but ensure that the advocacy works towards the benefit of the whole group not part of the group
- As a request Keep the post write membership group seperate from current Donor membership group and let them have seperate identities in public. That way people know the difference between the 2 groups.
My Friend tonyHK12 thank you for keeping faith and let me reiterate once more that i am indebeted to you for currently taking active taking part in vounteering and donating on IV. Whatever is your deficiencies in having a logical argument you are doing what is needed and for that i salute you.
I would like to take this time to thank IV Core/Admin to allow me to express my views and thoughts till now. Sure i know it would be a simple matter to IV to ban me and delete my posts, but i am assuming and hoping that IV core and IV admin has more maturity then all these junior members who are EB2 and cannot have a proper discussion without kicking someone off the forum for not having the same alignment of views like them.

I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Best wishes!
I think we need to grab the the opportunity for this "Diversity Lottery Bill" and keep it alive and on forefront. If this happens, it will be a boon for EB category.
If you are not already in, you can make a team from people from the group "Want to file I 485 thread" so that we can have a team of 20-30 dedicated people doing the same advocacy what you two guys are doing.

On June 14th the Visa Bulletin was published for the month of July, and all EB1, EB2 and EB3 green card cases are current starting July 1st, except "other workers". We have learned that this was done to ensure that no employment based green card numbers will be unused for the 2007 fiscal year, which ends on September 30, 2007. As we reported in a prior Immigration Update, an employment based green card cannot be approved without a current priority date. Additionally, the third and final stage of the green card process, Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing, cannot be filed, unless the priority date is current. US Citizenship and Immigration Services will be flooded with I-485 Adjustment of Status applications on July 2nd, the soonest the cases can be filed. Processing times for the Adjustment's interim work and travel authorization are expected to increase beyond their current 90 day times. USCIS has confirmed that Adjustment filings must have all of the requirements (medical clearances, birth certificates, etc.), or the application will be rejected. The priority dates could retrogress to their current levels, or further back, as soon as August 1st, but definitely by October 1st, once enough green cards have been issued for the 2007 fiscal year. Unfortunately, with the end of the comprehensive immigration reform bill, mentioned above, we are not likely to see an increase in the number of employment based green cards anytime soon. Once an Adjustment of Status is filed, an applicant can continue to secure work and travel authorization extensions, until the Adjustment can be decided.

Scroll to the Advocacy tab and read thru the "Meet the lawmakers" document.
Meeting is better than emailing, as emails do not get read. Ask IV Coordinator for the presentation zip when you get an appointment with your lawmaker.
