Pappu, I really lost my interest in this. After waiting for so long, I have come to a state where I find this to be not worth it anymore. I don't want to continue with this uncertainity any longer and my children are growing up and I want to move on in my life. Negotiating a good job offer for a good position. Its not that I am going to get my GC in 6 months or let alone in 2 years with a total of more than 8000 people ahead of me. So, I am looking at a minimum of 2 years wait and I do not think its worth waiting any longer. Getting a GC in 3-5 years seems tobe a OK wait, but more than 7 years, I want to use my time in something else more precious. Did not mean to hijack the purpose of this thread, just wrote it because you asked that question.
Sad to see how GC affects people's lives.
You are one of the first few IV members to join when it was formed. You were member number 351 to be precise. Did you ever try EB2 porting? Let us know if you would be interested in any media interview. We get lot of requests from media asking for people who are returning back to their home country after being frustrated from the long GC wait. Good luck and best wishes.

I have called all the numbers in the list and conveyed the message.
Great going IV!!!
I never called any elected official in the past. So I was little hesitant in the beginning. But it's so easy .. No hesitation now.. just give me the number and I will call them.
:-)
It's easy, and it's effective and strength is in numbers..

The following is from Hammond Law Firm. There is no cap for non-profit organizations.
The H-1b season is quickly getting closer. We now only have 6 weeks left before April 1. As you may recall, last year, all H-1b's were exhausted by May 26th. We are projecting that this year the cap will be reached in 2 weeks or less – perhaps as soon as ONE DAY! With that in mind, it is important to begin the preparation of any H-1b filings NOW! Our plan is to have all H-1b cap subject cases ready to be filed on March 30 for delivery at USCIS on April 2, 2007. April 1 falls on a Sunday and the USCIS has confirmed that the 2007 H-1b season begins Monday April 2.

My wife's LC was filed through the old process. We also did the PERM for her and were able to port the old PD BUT it took almost a year and the lawyer told us he had to ask his 'congressional contact' for help.
PERM may be an option for people in BEC - but not a sure shot one. The whole process takes ~6 months (including advertisements) and you/your company need to shell out $$$.
I empathize with you - but this is life. I had a PD of Oct '03 - but got sick of my job and changed - so now have a PD of Dec '05. Didn't make a difference as both became current in the July VB.
All of us come here for different reasons - many like me come for career opportunities. When GC/visa issues become a barrier for your career, it's time to rethink - when at the same time the opportunities in your country are much better. In the grand scheme of things, it's still not clear how important a GC is - don't get me wrong it really really helps - but if you are unlucky - then you need to evaluate the opportunity cost.
Good luck!

Can you give links to visa bulletin which changed in the middle of the month?
This is true. I heared the same from my attorney too. If you look at the history, there are two times they have discontinued the VB in the middle of the month. So let us hope the best and we will prepare for the worst.

now that you are looking up to me for encouragement I really need to train. :confused:
Common folks let's do it. Let's make year1 of Team IV successful
I was just joking..........anything that will help people signup and keep this thread on top.
In fact I am relieved that experienced people like you and nolaIndian are coming to DC; I will need your encouragement. My dog and I have started walking 10 miles on Sat/Sun. We have also started running/walking 4 miles on weekdays.
Sign up guys........if not for IV; at least for your health!!!
Once you signup, you will have a deadline to work towards and that will be the greatest incentive that you can have.

This Bill will help ALL people, not only the people who have an advanced degree from US!. With the addtion 55k, the people who have an advanced degree will get the green card immediately. Then, they will be out of the queue. Then all the existing anual visa quato will be allocated to the guys who don't have the advanced degree. This is a great bill for all EB forks. If this bill can be passed, the EB2 will be current . and EB3 will be current in two years. some people just didn't get it.
I might be wrong, but I read somewhere that these numbers would go to those working in math or science related fields AND who had graduated with a related degree in the last 5 years.
Again, I'm not 100% on it, just wanted to check if anyone else heard the same.

Those of you that are in the fence on whether to support IV or not, see below, our adversaries are not sitting on the fence, they are mobilized and will be in DC the same week as us advocating for the exact opposite of what we want. Please consider this and support IV.
Never ceases to amaze me how well funded and organized our adversaries are. More the reason to make the sacrifice and be there representing EB-immigrants!
Is any sort of relief worth $100 to you? It sure is to me.

50 Talk Radio Hosts to Gather in Washington for National "Town Hall" on Immigration
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) announces April 6 and 7 as the dates for Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011. Fifty talk radio hosts from all across the United States, led by Roger Hedgecock of Radio America Networks, are scheduled to participate in Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011, making it the largest immigration "town hall" of the airwaves to date. This year's event marks the fifth time FAIR has organized and hosted a live radio row devoted to the discussion of immigration policy.
The fifty broadcasters will spend two days interviewing members of Congress, immigration reform experts, and law enforcement personnel. � In addition to the broadcast component, dozens of activists from across the country will be in Washington to meet their elected representatives to urge them to enact immigration reforms that protect and serve the interests of the American people.
Among the key issues to be discussed by participants at Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011 are:
The need to enact mandatory use of E-Verify by all U.S. employers to protect American workers from losing jobs to illegal aliens.
The refusal of the Obama administration to effectively enforce existing immigration laws.
The mounting costs of illegal immigration at the federal and local level.
Public opposition to all amnesty or legalization proposals for illegal aliens.
The need to reduce overall levels of immigration to the United States.
Never ceases to amaze me how well funded and organized our adversaries are. More the reason to make the sacrifice and be there representing EB-immigrants!

"Also the EB queue needs to be considered while moving to the skill based one" - I don't know what you meant by this line but I am in no mood to restart my GC application (for which I have been waiting for the past 9 years) just because some genius (whoever that person was) woke up one morning and decided that all the applications need to be reformed into a points based system.
Of course we are all in the EB queues. I don't want to discuss details of any campaigns in the public forum. You could volunteer for this too and suggest your ideas to 'StarSun' and clear your doubts.

I had observed this last summer also that most of the CPO emails are received at night. In my opinion, it is probably due to the fact that they run these external communications as batch jobs at night, which is usually the case in any high volume corporate type IT systems.
So guys, relax and check you emails at night :-)
Some of the candidates who received their approval emails posted on this forum some time back that they received that emails on week end. Might be batch jobs.

Maybe this has been discussed earlier but I was wondering if we can extend our funding champaign beyond the conventional website.
How about setting up booths/tents/tables(what the heck) at local temples(or any places of worship where we know immigrant community would visit) in the area on the weekends. This way we can educate fellow immigrants about immigrationvoice and try to get contributions.
It might sound stupid but what I want to ask is , Is it legal for a Nonprofit org to do this ? By this I mean promote IV and collect contributions in the way I described above ?

No approvals today or what?
I had to search to find this thread.
What is going on?
The slowness in the approval rate has me a little worried. In July many people got approved at within the first few days - that does not seem to have happened for the first 3 days of August so far. I'm hoping that this is just a blip and the trend picks up shortly.
