The flower campaign was a huge success. The holiday season is here and I was thinking about a potentially new and innovative campaign idea. Greeting cards with a recorded audio message to be sent to the Director of USCIS. The message would be unique to the individual sending it. Should include something like "Dear Sir - I wish you a happy and safe holiday season. My name is "xyz". I am a legal immigrant stuck in the green card backlog for "xyz" years. Please help us. This message is just an idea - it could be anything agreed upon by consensus.
Maybe this idea is a little corny but we have to think out of the box. Just imagine - hundreds of greeting cards with their own unique message - could make a point???

Hope your ideas or similar ones work. But seriously�.. if someone isn�t contributing 50/100 bucks, will he/she be willing to get IV credit cards.
From my experience I would like to say contribution is simple. Hard part for me was to convince myself that this was right thing to do. I don�t think it will be about monitory constraints for most of us.
While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

There is no way for a bank to know when you leave. You might leave on vacation or for a break. As per US law you can come to US after a year break outside US. How does anyone could know whether you are on one month vacation or in one year vacation. I dont agree with this unless it is explained clearly.

to gc28262 and maddipati1,
Thanks for listening, I googgled to see if there are others like me and how the mess was solved.. I dont want to have problems down the line when naturalization comes around.
If it turns out that GC was indeed approved erroneously, I will return it and that goes without saying...but who can tell how long will re-instating of AOS take and also I wish to know how I can keep my H1 from being denied. Luckily I am still with GC sponsoring employer, but ...still, I did not need all this hassle..
I know I have received approved RIR Labor in June 2004 (it was for the same category EB3 ROW), but I do not know if the company filed I-140 or not. I will have to dig up old contacts from the company and inquire...But that was 6 yrs ago and I am not sure where people are...
Anyways, I will try to patienty wait to get the hard copy of whatever USCIS is sending to check for Priority Date, and if it is not what I expect it to be (Nov 2005), I will call TSC to inquire.

Few months back I was frustrated and was seriously considering going back to India. Until I had to visit Denver for some work last week (where I use to work before). I met one of my freind who is from India and after listening to his story I decided may be it worth waiting for GC. He never wanted to stay in US (not because of GC retrogression but for other reason) and on advise from his coworker he applied for GC. He got his GC in one and half year (wow !! great isnt it). Now look at the life style he is living beautiful house by the lake with view of mountains kids going to good school. He comes home for lunch, work is just couple of miles from home. Huge shopping malls at stone throw distance. Now he thank his ex-coworker for his advise as he and his family is living a wonderful life.
Its just matter of time. Lets look at the glass half filled rather than half empty few months back it was total darkness atleast now we have bills passed by Senate which incorporates IV goals (kudos to IV core and all members). All we can do is try as we did before. Lets renew our fight with full vigor we are half way through. Once it passes HR we are done. I urge all members to participate on Sunday's conference and plan new strategy.

Simply amazing ...
have you guys lost the ability to think and read...
It is USCIS that decides the categories and it is they who say that EB1 is more skilled and valuable than other categories
Again ... like I said in my post .... It is NOT NOT individual's qualifications or Country that matters, it is the JOB descr they do that decides the EB category. IF USCIS places more value on EB1 than EB2/EB3 category jobs that is not my problem .... but thats the way it is... and that was my point .... if the value placed on the job is higher that job...
If things make you sick .... there is a fix for it .... go to a doctor ...
But truly... I do believe you are sick, inability to coherently digest a discussion and think is a serious anomaly and you should get it checked out...
Herez the qualifying criteria for various EB categories.
FIRST PREFERENCE Includes:
Intra-Company Transfers - Executive or Managers
Outstanding Professors and Researchers
"Extraordinary Ability" in the sciences, arts, education, Business and athletics
Note: Categories 1 & 2 do not require a labor certification7 Category 3 does not require a labor certification or offer of employment.
SECOND PREFERENCE Includes:
Professionals with advanced degrees
Aliens of "Exceptional Ability" in the sciences, arts or business
Note: both categories require an offer of employment and a labor certification unless a "National Interest Waiver" is obtained.
THIRD PREFERENCE Includes:
Professionals with bachelor's degrees
Skilled workers filing positions requiring at least two years of training and experience
other workers.
Every category includes skilled professionals.
The classification is based on education/priority/years of exp.
We all have the option to apply for a "better" category, but we choose not to because either we don't have supporting documents or our employer refused to do so.
We should stop infighting and focus on bigger issues at hand.

You definitely raise an interesting case. What I would say to that is that they just have to reevaluate the points allocation system. the details of the point allocation system may be bad but the overall intent still stands to benefit the highly educated while including the EB system as well will make sure less skilled but in demand people are also taken care off. handling family based GC is a whole diff ball game though.
Overall intent of the bill was to legalize/give amnesty to 12 million people at any cost for dems. The intent of republicans was to gut the whole immigration system whether legal or illegal.
You say that they just have to reevaluate point system. How many amendments were filed to do that . If the intention of "masters of the universe" was to reform the system they would have approached the whole thing much carefully. The total bill was written by special interest groups on both sides of the political aisle.
I agree that a strong economy like america needs both skilled and unskilled people. Shouldn't it be left to the employer to find out who is the best person that can do the job.
The bill as it was written before the cloture vote was a piece of CXXX.
Once the bill is passed I dont think anyone wants to talk about immigration for another 20 years , I dont think I want to wait for another 20 years for law makers to make changes to the point system.
I am happy that this ill conceived bill is on life support system now. Hope they are not able to revive it ...
Foreign nurses wont help revive this baby because they dont get any points in the new BS system called MBS ....:D :D :D :D :D

That 2% could be an extremely conservative estimate for 2001-2002 filers. Why ? Many filers are already been approved. The only filers that are left are probably who got their LCs between 2004-2008 with priority date in 2001/2002 and labor substitutes .(note in 2005, the PD of EB3I did come all the way to June 02). Most of left outs have filed their 485 in June 07 already and you could probably see a huge percentage in too, because by then people knew about the website and started tracking.
I hope you are correct but look at for EB3-I.
There are about 14 pages of EB3-I before 2004. So with assumptions of 2% applicants registered on there will be approximately 30000 to 35000 EB3-I applicants.
(14*50)/(0.02) = 35000

I went through layoff and got the same response from my lawyer. The day you are not working, you are technically out of status. But I found a job in few weeks the gap between the h1b transfer is May 26th to July 1st. It was technically more than a month.
But these are done on a case to case basis, at times based on your good standing, and skills.
So though I was given 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice (as I was fired without notice), all my accrued vacation (2 weeeks) and 2 months of severance pay, lawyer told me I cannot count that as period of extended pay after layoff. So, I definitely walked a tight rope here.

Even if they approve the GC, they can always revoke and ask you to return the card. This has happened somebody, I don't remmeber which forun I read about it. Call them up and inform them that your PD is not current. You can even go to local ASC and talk to an IO. If you have an attorney, inform him/her.

...Ahimsa, I hope you understand this is a platoonic conversation between us...
If you mean "platonic", yes ours is no doubt a friendly conversation.
I agree CIR will be modified but our EB reliefs (for existing EB applicants) are not controversial (ilegal immigration reliefs and H-1B increase are the most controversial), right?
I hope there would be some form of CIR with EB reliefs that both Dems and President would agree on.
Thanks

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I do not think this is the case with OP, given that I quote, Employer X offiered me a job and sponsored my H1B and got it approved too". I guess this is a new H1B filing rather than a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X. if this is a transfer, OP is in trouble as you suggested and the employment from transfer approval date till now will be considered "unauthorized work".
could you confirm whether Employer X thing is a transfer or fresh filing?

I had FREE company attorney but decided to file 485 etc. myself & it was so much better. You can easily do 140-485 etc yourself. Call me & I will tell you.
If at all use an attorney for PERM. In my situation, even that was screwed up & I had to do that myself.
It is high time, all of us capable of handling complex viral equations, do this simple job , spread the knowledge , save $$$ & contribute some savings to IV

This is something a texas IV aspiring member has to go through. I am sure Amma was the participant of one of the successful lawmaker meetings. There is something wrong here when IV is so harsh on a contributing member like Amma.
Lets be fair here. RSVPing and not showing up is rude & unprofessional, and unbecoming of so called 'high skilled immigrants'. Its besides the point that the concerned members are contributing. Not to pick on any one member, but you can always call up to let the organizer know that you have a last minute conflict come up and will not be able to make it.
Its about common courtesy & decency :cool:
