    How many posts are required to access chat feature?

    I guess, getting 30 green dots is tougher than getting GC itself:D
    Restricting chat access based on dots earned is probably the most idiotic thing IV has done. Folks who have contributed hundreds of dollars should be allowed access irrespective of posts or stupid dots.

    You are long overdue for a salary raise - But you can't get more money due to current visa rules, even though you are doing work that has long-deserved a raise. Your net worth is being eroded.

    Hi, I hope somebody helps in my dilemma.

    I am currently on an L1A visa. I heard that my main office (where I am now working) is closing the foreign office where I come from. Based on L1 requirements and facts, it states that once the subsidiary closes, my L1 becomes invalid. Given this, the company is willing to sponsor my green card as soon as possible. It will probably still take a year before the subsidiary officially closes. What are my options? If they have to close the company while my green card is being process, would it be cancelled ?

    Thanks.

    Tricky situation, many permutations. Check with a lawyer.

    But I think if you file for I-140 asap you can lock in the PD. When that becomes current (chances are good if you are not from India/China) you can file for I-485, get your EAD+AP and continue working on the EAD.

    Other option is to apply for a H1B change of status on the FIRST day the USCIS starts accepting applications. If you get approval, then it kicks in Oct 01, 2009. The odds of getting an approval are approximately 1 in 2. On the flip-side, you might have to restart your GC process and get a labor certification first.

    You still have time to arrange your plans and attend! Here�s why you should come:

    You have probably made up your mind not to attend the rally. Perhaps you think that already many people will attend and that one more or one less person (You) will not make a difference. But it will! In fact, let�s not even think about whether one more or one less person will make a difference. Rather, I invite you to think this way: Do it because it�s right! Do it for yourself! Think to yourself that you would do this even if you were the only person attending the rally. Think of Gandhi. Think of Martin Luther King.

    You have been very frustrated for years with this broken immigration system, right? Perhaps you�ve been stuck for years, no raises, spouse cannot work, children aging out? How many times have you wanted to tell Congress what�s on your mind? This is likely your ONLY CHANCE to do so! Again, think of this in terms of you attending even if you were the only person attending. Attend because you are mad. Attend because you want to see change. Attend to make yourself visible, and make everyone out there know of your silent struggle. The silent struggle that you have had to put up for years. Even if that�s all you do, you will feel better. People will know the unfairness that you have been treated with! Attend because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! If your friends are not attending, try to convince them, but if they choose not to go, don�t let that influence you! Sometimes in life we have to do things just because they are right, no other reason. Will this rally work? Will lawmakers listen? Will my employer be mad that I took a day off? Will I have to spend $500 to get there? None of that matters! The only reason of why you should attend is because you have been abused, and you will not take it! You have dignity! You will go and tell Congress to stop messing with you unfairly. You have the power, freedom and OBLIGATION to do so! Your children will be proud of you. If you do not attend the rally, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime lost opportunity! LET�S GO! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!

    Give IV a New Year Gift:Post about IV in other Web sites (15 min of your time!!!)

    Hi IV members!

    We are all aware how every IV member is trying to increase IV membership.

    We need all hands and help to make this a success, INCLUDING YOURS and we need it NOW. Following are two important threads to visit in this regard.

    ( IV campaign: $20/member marathon
    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2630
    IV campaign: Add A Member Campaign
    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2566 )

    I am starting a new thread to highlight another idea.

    WHAT IS THE NEW IDEA? WHERE EVER POSSIBLE, EVERY MEMBER POST A FREE CLASSIFIED/DISCUSSION THREAD ON A WEB SITE THEY FREQUENT FOR THEIR LOCAL UPDATES IN THEIR LOCAL AREA/ OR ANY OTHER WEB SITE THEY FREQUENT OR KNOW OF AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO POST ABOUT IV.

    WHY IS IT HARD FOR ONE PERSON TO DO IT? FIRST IT IS HARD TO GUESS, WHAT WEB SITES ARE BEST IN YOUR LOCAL AREA/CITY TO POST ABOUT IV. SECOND, WEBSITES MAY REQUIRE REGISTRATION BEFORE POSTING ANY THING ON THEIR WEB SITES. SO IF YOU TAKE TIME (Just 15 minutes!) AND POST ABOUT IV IN THE WEB SITES YOU KNOW OF, IT WILL GREATLY HELP INCREASE IV AWARENESS AND INCREASE IV MEMBERSHIP. AND ALL IT WILL NEED IS 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.

    I suggest the following.

    1. Post about IV in a Web site that you frequent for local ads, local events, local classifieds ect/ OR any other web site that you think best to post about IV (need not be necessarily local web site, an internet group ect)

    Every one of us knows a web site where in local classifieds, ads are given, POST ABOUT IV in those web sites. This is REALLY easy task given 15 minutes of your time.

    2. I have pasted the content below that you can use to post the free classified or start a new discussion thread in a local web site that you know of.

    3. When you have posted the classified or started a thread in your local web sites, POST the details here to keep this thread alive and others take notice and make similar efforts. (It will encourage others).

    IV'ers, lets add ONE classified or discussion thread in a web site that you know of ... Your 15 minutes of time will take us a long way.

    I understand IV members are from different countries and different states, and thus only you will be knowing what sites are best to post a classified/discussion thread.

    Please feel free to write any other suggestions you may have regarding this idea.


    SUGGESTED CONTENT TO POST IN OTHER WEB SITES
    ************************************************** ****

    Waiting for your Green Card ? Read this .. Free Immigration Consultation!!! (no strings)

    Have you been waiting patiently to get your green card through your employer? Do the following quotes somewhat echo what you are going through? “My labor certification has been pending at the DOL for over 3 years”, “My priority date is Dec. 2003, but it seems like it take 3-4 years before my turn to apply for I-485 comes up”, “I am in my 9th year extension, and unable to accept promotions, or change jobs, because if I do, I will lose my priority date and have to wait another decade for my green card.

    If the above quotes sound familiar, then please know that you are not alone. You are in the company of over � million people stuck in the endless backlogs and bureaucracy. Recent data on backlogs indicates that as of April 2006, 255,000 applications were pending at the DOL – some since 1999. Per latest Ombudsman's report, there are between 170 to 230 K applications pending at the USCIS. Just one glance at the numbers is sure to send shivers down the spines of most individuals who haven’t even entered the green card queue.

    With unbounded passion and a sense of urgency few individuals came together in December 2005 to form Immigration Voice (IV). Immigration Voice’s mission is to resolve this crisis facing numerous highly skilled, and highly educated individuals and make lawmakers aware of the issues that have adversely affected the quality of life for our members.

    Immigration Voice has successfully lobbied Congress to enact sensible legislation that will clear backlogs, reduce wait time, and improve the quality of life of individuals. Immigration Voice has played a key role in the following very positive changes: (1) Removal of 10 % hard country quota from Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation. We made lawmakers aware of this issue so it will never arise again. (2) Inclusion of Immigration Voice’s goals in the bipartisan Managers' amendment to CIR viz, (i) I-485 filing without visa number availability, (ii) 3 year H-1B and EAD/Advance Parole extensions for green card applicants, and, (iii) Generalization of Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) exemptions to more applicants. This item also greatly serves the national interests of the US.

    Immigration Voice has also raised awareness about backlogs and bottlenecks in the legal immigration process through an aggressive publicity campaign in the print and broadcast media (Washington Post, Roll Call, WSJ, MSNBC, amongst many others). You can check them out here. Immigration Voice core members continually engage the media on a regular basis to raise awareness.

    Immigration Voice works closely with Quinn Gillespie and Associates (QGA) to generate awareness amongst lawmakers of our cause and to create bipartisan support for it, but we need a significant membership base as well as a tremendous financial muscle. The lobby opposed to legal immigration is very strong, and has extensive reach on the Hill. We need to raise funds with great urgency and vigor to keep up the struggle and strengthen our partnership with QGA, without whom our success is limited.

    All members of Immigration Voice are bonded by the same problems arising from the backlogs in legal immigration. The unwavering and unfaltering commitment of the Immigration Voice core team, and the support shown by our members, both monetary and in spirit, has propelled Immigration Voice to succeed and hardened the core team’s resolve to continue this work until our goals are achieved.

    Immigration Voice’s membership has grown to more than 8000 members in about 7-8 months, but this number pales in comparison to the half million people currently in some stage of their green card process. We urge you to join us and become a member of Immigration Voice. You will receive regular updates and inside news of several activities that Immigration Voice is undertaking in Washington DC. Moreover, you will get the satisfaction of being part of this important effort, which has a good chance of succeeding, and be able to share your worries as well as get solutions to your personal queries through our free ask-a-lawyer conference calls.

    Please visit www.ImmigrationVoice.org and see first-hand the enthusiasm and energy of our existing members who are contributing their time and resources to a very important cause. We are sure you will join us.

    Thank you,

    Immigration Voice Team

    Immigration voice is a non-profit 501 (c) (4) organization. All of Immigration Voice’s financial transactions will be audited by a CPA, submitted to the IRS.

    Instead of letting members open 4 different threads, it is best that IV core itself opens the thread in RED so that it catches people's eyes and they post their comments in one spot rather than 4. AND it helps highlight the fact the bulletin is actually out.

    There can be several ways to deal with this and still get least opposition, I sent you a PM...That's absolutely true. Immigration quotas were originally designed to keep people out, which meant if you were a white, Western European come on in. If you were not, you need not apply. The per country limit was instituted to redress this issue and assure diversity in the immigration process. Eliminating the per country limit would require a massive paradigm shift, that in the end would only be more harmful to those groups who perceive a short term benefits.

    How can you even suggest that the immigration related raids to be the same as ethnic cleansing.

    Admins, please close this thread!

    I would like to bring to the notice of your readers, editorial committee and leaders of
    the Indian community of a systematic way that (legally) the US Government is practicing
    legal ethnic cleansing of Indians and Chinese and other H-1B visa holders.

    NOT EVERYONE REGISTERS AT THESE POS SITES. lol
    C'mon be realistic.

    Exactly...If everyone registers, then we wouldnt need to estimate any ratios. Would we?

    Also even when people do register their case on this site, not many register their dependents cases.

    in FY08 we know for sure that EB2 Inida quota has been consumed. That gives a definite number of approvals to use for estimation. When i estimate that represents 6.75% of these cases (all cases upto Dec03), this ratio is a reasonable estimate of all the people who do not register.

    Hi All,

    I applied my I485 in April 2007 (PD-July 2002, RD-April 23, 2007) and there has been no update (LUDs) on my application even after FP in May 2007. I called up NSC in Nov 2007 and they confirmed that FPs are OK and it is OK to have no LUDs after FP. Since then, it is a waiting game. Till Feb, i was told that my app is under security review (although my spouse's review was complete). After the USCIS's memo in Feb, there is no update either. My attorney has opened an SR with NSC on may 8th and they acknowledged that my app is outside the normal processing time.

    Any suggestions on what steps should i take?

    Thanks

    Yes - USPS express mail is next day. But you may not find a open Post office to post the Mail on SUNDAY.

    I'm not sure if you drop it in a Express Mail drop box tomorrow if they will pro-actively pick up and deliver by Monday - Probably No.

    USPS express mail is a 365 day service so far as "Delivery" is concerned but not from a "Pick up" standpoint probably


    If FedEx doen't help try USPS, they also have overnight delivery.
    If you handover the document on Sunday evening before 5.00 PM, by Monday noon it will be delivered.

    We have a yahoogroups - I am not sure how many attended from that but it has been passive with only few members posting always - I was constantly posting on that urging people to join the rally.

    Hmm I'm still not sure I follow.

    (Sorry if this a newbie question)

    So if I was laid off and I was working on an EAD, all I need is a letter from any company saying they are hiring me 6 months from now for a salary comparable to that in my LC (with similar job responsibilities etc) and I would be covered in case of an RFE similar to mine?

    Wouldn't that be so easy to get?

    I think we should spend more time to explore this option too. If USCIS make this rule which alllow us to file I-485 with out PD current that will be big relief for us.

    Just posted this reply at http://www.numbersusa.com/helpform

    Hello,

    I happened to come across your fax initiative "Ask your Members of Congress to oppose the SKIL Act H-1B increases".

    Seems like you have got many facts wrong.
    I'm surprised that an advocacy group as yours would try to make statements that would dilute your own credibility.

    Below are some corrections,

    "(1) The six-year visas allow foreign workers to bring in their families, and guarantee thousands of anchor babies."

    The above statement is a matter of perspective. People can still come on visitor visas and have babies here.In any case, I personally do know of people who have gone back to their own countries to have their babies.

    "(2) H-1B salaries are tax-exempt - no FICA, no federal or state income taxes. They can live at the same level as tax-paying Americans at a lower cost. Therefore, Congress allows foreigners to "low-ball" American workers."

    The above statement in COMPLETELY incorrect.
    Everyone on H1-B is required to pay federal, state, medicaid, Social Security and other taxes that any other native employee would pay.
    On the other hand, H1-B employees dont stand to gain from the Social Security when they relocate back to their country after 6 years.

    (3) H-1Bs can leave the job they came to fill and seek other jobs, not necessarily in the "hard to fill" category.

    This is incorrect too.H1-B requires labor clearance and specific skills, even for h1-b transfers.

    (4) Most H-1Bs are of a "protected" ethnic group, so H-1Bs have an affirmative action preference when competing with Americans for the same jobs.

    You got to be kidding.There is no such thing.
    I would appreciate it if you can quote any official source of this info.


    Well,I'm sure that the well versed senators and congressmen will be aware of these facts, and you are only losing you own credibility with them.
    The trust will be out soon.

    Sincerely.
    XXXXX
