This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:
How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?
I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.
We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.
What makes you think that there were no EB3s at the advocacy event and many of EB3s who did not attend contributed to the cause monetarily.....which apparently seem to be helping BE2. May be you should cut the crap and thank EB3s instead of bitching about it.

I agree totally!! I understand the need for IV not to lobby for just one community EB2 or
EB3...but the fact is that all we see is movement in EB2 and no to very little movement in EB3....the most retrogessed and most in need community is EB3...
For new people like us, how do we get motivated for donation and all these things when we see rest of the people who are doign this still waiting for months to see some light at the end of the tunnel??
I think what would help is an action plan by IV stating what they would be doing in weeks or months to come....
may be do a campaign like a flower campaign or something to really get the attention if not this beginning of next year, when we think that CIR may be moving....
I think we are lacking an action plan here....and may be thats what we need for new people to get motivated towards....
Well Pappu, the fact of the matter is nothing has been done specifically to help EB3-I/C/ROW. IV may be EB agnostic but EB3-I seems to have been stuck forever to the point of despair.
I and other EB3s have donated to most of the IV causes and campaigns. We have written to our Senators, reps, sponsors and co-sponsors of bills but nothing has helped.
If IV renews its focus to help EB3-I/C/ROW then you can expect more contributiuons from EB3s.
I do not want a lesson on EB3/EB2/EB1...there is no end to opinions on this forum. What I and other EB3-I/C/ROW want are results. Contributions, meeting the lawmakers, writing to politicians etc will kick in fourth gear if there is a reasonable advancement of dates for EB3-I/C/ROW.
BTW, your and other IV leaders' efforts are very much appreciated. All that I am saying is that IV should be focused on EB3-I/C/ROW (through tagging recapture to a bill or something) now that EB2 is getting help from USCIS spillover.

Hi Core, Senior Members and all:
Now that we got the bad news I would like to know what is our next plan of action -Campaign, Flowers, Letters, Calls, Faxes?
On my way to work today I was listening to NPR and looks like there is a march on May 1st to the White House by the Hispanic Groups.
Also coincidentally another newsbrief by Jennifer at Washington WAMU was about H1B cap not reaching and the long wait of skilled immigrants waiting in queue for their Green Cards to be processed.
Should we be contacting her to air an exclusive article on this subject?
Your thoughts?

Totoro,
Thanks for responding., we appreciate it.
Good that you took it in the right spirit. All the efforts you are trying for us are inline with what even I wanted to do, but dont have as much access as you do. Search the forums with my id and you will see for yourself. To my knowledge there are very few who can do what you are doing. I wish Moderators and IV Core endorse your efforts in the form of a campaign and you will see much more participation. Look at the other drive they are doing for create a fund of $10000.00 If they endorse you (thats we) will get response in that order. Can you please ask Aman to do that, and that way we will have more voice.
All,
I am not sure if most of you guys even remember what my group said. We WILL contribute even $3500 and more, if there is a campaign for EB2 and EB3 and for guys waiting 5-10 years . Not sure why most of you, even senior guys(by join date, and not by # of posts) just rememer the $3500 part all the time with my name :) but miss what we said. Go n read it again.And if Core endorses does effort, I will not be surprised if there will be contribution from as much as 5000 members each of $100 on avg= $500,000. No kidding, thats the pain EB3 is facing.. Anyone to disagree??.
Gangutelli,
Gantuteli is real or fake.. similarly. Did you put all your details EXACTLY.. You know the answer.. Be little practical and have some profile that is like yours atleast.
Where were you before Jan 09..Didnt hear about IV before??.Flower campaign that hit the news.. You appear to be very emotional, with very less maturity.. Nothing personal, anyone here sees it.. check them yourself with a mature friend.I know you will post 1000 posts in the next 1 month. Tell me the secret how you get that much time(I am begging for few extra hrs in last 1 month), but only in case you have a job. Else we know.
And I said I will contribute $50 to FOIA campaign last week but did not send it yet. I will do it today. This is not in response to you Q reg contribution.. If you noticed, no one responds to your posts.
Did you create any new thread with some ideas, good or bad... Please respond to this last line, for sure..and if so, can you give me that link..
First try to contribute $25 before you talk about your groups contribution of thousands of dollars....Too much empty boasting.

Guys, here the form to file a complaint on L1A - EB1 misuse by indian IT companies
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh-4.pdf
Here's the process..http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/fts_wh4.htm
If you have a genuine case and know the company name who resort to these shady practices, Please fill this form and send it across to DOL. You do not need to provide your personal information if you are not willing to.
Rest, they will investigate and take care..
I am one of those who couldn't file in EB1 but that is past and long gone for me.
You need to write to USCIS and Ombudsman. Labor department does not approve such petitions.

Can we open a Service Request before 90 days?
Has anyone done that.
I am thinking of trying to call TSC again and see if i can somehow get a chance to talk to the IO, so they can shed some more light on our cases.
What do you guys suggest?
GO IV GO.
Akhil,
Check you PM.

Yes, you will need to send the original passport along with the filled in application...Since the passport is expired for over an year, check this out:
Quote:
When should you apply for the new passport?
i) Apply for reissue of Passport if the final (F) validity is less than one year. For example, if your passport is expiring on 31st Dec. 2008, you can apply for a new passport from 1st Jan. 2008 onwards.
ii) The Passport should be renewed within one year of its expiry. If for any reason you have delayed applying for a new passport beyond one year after expiry of your passport, an affidavit stating the reason for delay sworn before a Notary or a Consular Officer should be submitted along with the application.
:/End Quote
For more info on Consular Services from Houston, goto: www.cgihouston.org
Thank you! That does help. I shall provide an affidavit.
And the link is useful too.
Now a general question : for kids of 5 or 8 year old, the application should have their 'thumb print', right? It does say "thumb print of applicant or legal guardian", but I see no value in signing for them - there's no way to identify the child if I sign there... Or am I missing something why it's better for me to sign? (There's two places for signature/thumb-print : to sign for the application, and also at the 'specimen signature' spot).

No. Last year we had an RFE as my wife's medicals were missing a signature. As Pappu mentioned in another thread most of them were pre approved and were waiting on visa numbers I think.
Thanks. My case was pre-approved in September 2009 (I have confirmed this fact twice (Infopass and Service Center officer) - now am looking at my inbox, sms, and US CIS account all day, waiting for any sign of approval

The point is to get a Bill created eventually and have a campaign. We have to start somewhere.
You are talking about bringing a bill:
How many congressman and Senators have you met till now ?
You want to bring a bill without lobbying. So tell your plans. Let us all see.
You created your new ID, started a thread and you think that is a good start. I need to see something real in an idea than believing in your idea.

Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.
I had the page scrolling issue too on IE 6 (at work) . Now, I open IV forumns on firefox and I do not have the problem anymore.

Update: I received my renewed PP from CGI Houston. Here are the details
CGI Houston received : 18-Jun-2008
PP issue date : 27-Jun-2008
Fedex date :02-Jul-2008
Fedex attempted to deliver it on July 3rd but I was out of town till yesterday. I picked it up today (9th July). CGI-H took about 10 business days to process. I decided on purpose to send my application after June 15th, so that all the summer travelers would have renewed it by then. I dont know if that helped me, but I am happy I got new PP in 2 weeks.
With IKE striking in Texas , cgihouston dot org says "we will be able to provide only essential/emergency consular services until normalcy is restored."
I need to send my passport for renewal, i was thinking if i should wait for some time or send it right away
What you guys suggest ? Anyone else on the same boat ?

Sorry I must be mistaken - I thought this was a ETF/stock discussing thread. But found that this thread changed into something for bunch for 5-year-old girls discussing merits, demerits of certain sectarian groups.
Anyway, If this really is stocks' discussing thread - I personally like dealing with regular, double triple ETFs. I played with options once, but they are risky for me. YMMV.

Wow! it sure varies by a lot..I just spent $190 for the same
It varies depending on the physician. I paid $475 for everything blood work to test immunizations + TB test + Physical exam. This is for one person.
Same physician, my friend went with all medical records and she charged only $250 for doing physical and TB test.
I got the report with in 3 days. Hope this helps. Good luck.
