all we need to do is tell congress / USCIS / president / home builders - that No GC means no immigrant will buy their bloated inventory of homes
Have you told anyone of these (congress / USCIS / president / home builders) yet?
If not then no point accusing IV as if everyone is your servant. Because you are the kind of person who want others to work hard for you while you will do nothing and only complain. You were asked by IV to lead and at least contact reporters, but you do not want to do that and keep complaining.
Why don't you lead and inspire everyone by your example first?

what you say above is true. but the fact is that we are what we are ..and we are at cross roads ..and that is where we are.
the main question is how do we increase membership .. the answer to that has to be in meaningful and visible campaigns.
forcing people to pay money when their jobs are at risk will not increase membership.

Came back today on AP. Port EWR. Escorted to secondary inspection. "Purpose of your trip", "Are you working for the petitioning employer" and "Since when you have been working for them" were the questions.
Can you please clarify, what details did you fill in following columns of I-94.
1) Name of the City where Visa was issued: ( Did you write Advance Parole ?)
Your parole document is not a visa. I left it blank.
2) Date of Visa Issued: ( Did you write Date of issuing Parole ?)
Blank again.

it might seem like eb2 has moved.. and it has from last month...but this is where we were at in april 2006 (may2006 bulletin -1st jan 2003) before the dates stagnated for a cupl of months, became unavailable and finally moved backwards in october.
so basically no movement for 7 months.
Yes. You got it . That's their trick.....(sadly).

Together we can come up with some bright ones - any input from you?
Also note, the flower campaign was dubbed stupid and insane by many before it started working and getting media attention, and eventually proved to be a brilliant idea! So let's keep our mind open to ideas.

>>>>-sending more flowers
please.. enough of flowers..
>>>>-a huge rally in Silicon Valley
Now you have seen what goes and does not go into a rally. This is a complicated task so it has to be planned, as was the DC one.
>>>-candlelight vigil at congress
This will work if high school students do it. not "highly skilled" immigrants.
>>>>-mass letter mailings from all of us
Yeah.. spam them with emails..
>>>-human chains
This involves same complexity as the rally. so its not an easy task.
>>>-hunger strike?
This will be stupidity. ( I am not calling you stupid, but the idea. so no need to jump on me). Eat your food and live healty and happy. Is GC worth going on hunger strikes and suicide attempts? Thats too much of desperation. You are not from Afghanistan or Kenya right..?
>>>-etc
What else?
Oh yeah.. the "drain stoppers" stuff.. thats again stupid. Thats too much literal comparison to brain drain.

If we don't stand up for ourselves, no one will do it for us. Mexico continued its advance in today's bulletin but there are just too many people in the queue to get this solved the right way.
My esteemed colleagues from India and China, if I am worried enough to donate and register for the April event, WHY HAVENT YOU?
Register now or donate to help fund the event. This is our chance. Those $50 you will spend on dinner and a movie this weekend can help us solve this once and for all.
My small contribution $50 is on its way. Cant join the event personally but hopefully this small contribution helps those who are willing to donate their time and energy.

Guys,
Let us differentiate ourselves. Legal immigrants include people who come here on family based PR petitions. We are Highly skilled legal Immigrants.
IMHO, WE SHOUD USE "WE ARE HIGHLY SKILLED LEGAL IMMIGRANTS" INSTEAD OF "LEGAL IMMIGRANTS". Going by what is happening in the hill and elsewhere, this distinction will work favorably for us.
PAPPU, others, comment. Let us all be consistent.
I used the subject line: US immigration system: problems faced by legal immigrants
thanks for taking the lead on this issue.

WithoutGCAmigo, no panic. there are processing dates which you should be worried about after you file EAD / AP etc.
To file it goes per visa bulletin. Hope you are upto date with that.
thats the talk of the town, sorry COUNTRY now
IV memeber experts - should be on the way to throw more light / clarify
good luck

The only thing that can help us predict Sep bulletin is how many visa # have been used so far from 2009 quota. Since USCIS will be rushing to use up all visa # the quantity can least give us an idea if dates will move few months or few years. USCIS should not have trouble with either since they have so many pre-adjudicated applications to take care of both scenario's. I am pretty optimistic (realistically confident) that there will be a forward movement.
Knowing about future, or predicting what is to come, would help if we ought to do something in preparation; an advance action, such as nailing our windows shut if we are predicting a storm. That is not the case here. Therefore, sure shot 'prediction' is just to wait and see. It is only a few days away. If new cutoff date encompasses your PD, pray and check your email every day (or every hour or even minute), and hope for the best.

The AP is truly an amazing conundrum. I will try to clarify.
1. When AP is filed, you need to be in the US. No if's and but's about that.
2. If AP is used at the border for entry, it DOES NOT invalidate your H1. Only using EAD to switch jobs does that.
3. Lets assume you have an AP valid till Jan 1. You apply for new AP on Oct 1. However, you need to travel on Dec 25. Now there are two scenarios:
3a) you return on Dec 30 - you can use your old AP as it is still valid. The fact that you have applied for a new AP and left the country DOES NOT abandon your new AP because your old AP is still valid.
3b) You return on Jan 3 - You need to have the new AP in hand.
If there are any more questions on AP, please feel free to PM me :)

Please tell your immigration attorney that you will not give him 6 thousand dollar fees but only give $10 because you love money
Please tell the restaurant you go to for lunches and dinner that you will not pay as per their bill of $50 for 2 people but will only pay $10 as you love your money
Please tell your wife that both of you will not eat for 5 days and save $100, because you love your money
If people do not value IV then IV is not the place for them. IV allowed everyone to file I485 in July and get EADs . You are able to get your EAD freedom because of IV and that is priceless.
You gave perfect examples here. Let's take a close look.
If you think the atterney fee worth $10, you wouln't hire an atterney asking for $6k. Samething with the restraunt check. Samething with IV contribution. If you think $100 is too high, you don't pay it. But if you think it worth $10 you simply ask for it, like everybody will do. Imagine a car saleman responds to his potential buyer's request to a lower price of a car with insulting remarks, he'll loose this customer and many more.
And IV ALLOWED everyone ...? You went too far, pal.

My only concern is AC21 letters not getting into your file and USCIS issuing a NOID or a denial.
Other than notifying CIS of our job change, there is nothing else we can do. If it results in a denial, it is easy enough to reverse that, so I would not worry about it.
I am changing jobs in 2 weeks. As I said earlier, I am prepared for my employer revoking the 140 and CIS denying my 485 by mistake. At this point, I am not even bothering to notify CIS about my job change.

wait, Franklin,
1. Did you get already your GC approved?
Yes
2. I think you DO need PD to be current for GC approval. In best case scenario, GC could be approved in matter of 10-15 days, so for July filers there were some GC numbers available, and few lucky ones got their approvals. This is how I see it... please correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought the same too, and I think it was the incredibly rare exception - I must have been assigned a visa number VERY quickly and probably benefited from the confusion at the agencies in the summer. AOS applied early June, FP was completed early July, and I am lucky to have a pretty unusual name. My PD was April 04, my card was received before the DC rally - Visa Bulletin for my category was Aug 02 at the time of approval... .
3. It would be interesting if shimul99 would share with us as when exactly his status was adjudicated. I've read somewhere that there are cases, that people got their GCs approved by mistake and lawyers suggested to inform CIS and return the GC. These people were then having their statuses adjudicated when their PDs were becoming current.
Sorry - I missed these questions...
The system is unfair and broken. Just because I benefited from the current system, doesn't make that statement false

Let me guess, you are a pakistani terrorist. Now you are jealous that how come an Indian muslim win 2 oscars? How will you give out your hateful message to other pakistanis terrorists that indian muslims are being torchured, so you have to "save" indian muslims. Too bad, no pakistani got an oscar. I know why, because the terror capital of the world is going down the drain pretty fast.
.
Sanju, these comments were uncalled for. I understand your emotions on ARR winning Oscars but just don't bash someone who has different views. The guy never said anything about ARR, he just said his work in Dil Se was better and many people may agree with him. Why would you call him a terrorist??? Come on man and you say you want GC because you got exceptional skills ....you mean exceptional non-sense hatred........ on a lighter note ARR can apply GC in EB1 category and get it quickly :p

This posting is not to dishearten anyone but to make everyone aware of the obstacles on the path. I followed up on Science article and talked to Jim Austin, the
lead for ScienceCareer efforts of Science journal group. The baseline of my conversation goes as: there is limited funding, limited opportunities even for US born scientists, then is it wise to "import on permanent basis" scientists from abroad?Yes, it is good to have the best here, but what we (USA) require is education and training of US-born first ...
Take home message for us guys is this: These are the people the congress hears out first when they want to make policy changes. These are the people who were able to convince NIH to double its funding in 5 years time a couple of years back. These are the people who are now saying that there is no job and money for US-born, so first get more fundingand training for us citizens, before you get foreigners to carry out research ...
It is obvious that the issue is becoming more and more acrimonious, entangled with a lot of other issues - both political and economic. Unless the retrogressed are willing to take this to heart and put up an intense effort, in coming years the matter is going to get worse. Next few months could be the only ***healthy*** window of time to achieve a remedy for retrogression. Not only the economy is driving anti-highskillimmigration groups more vocal, we are slowly finding the pro-immigrant support base thinning out because of very bad fiscal situations.
It may be true that people would want their own to be trained and educated rather than getting highly skilled people from outside the borders. However, the question we raise is not abt getting more people from outside, but is it wise to deny PR to thousands highly educated folks who are already here and stand to loose them for a vision of educating US born people which may take several years to reap fruition, while those immigrants may decide to go elsewhere for a stabler life.
