Dear Dr. Teli (I am sure you are a Dr. because you dont let facts or reality come in the way of your diagnosis of a situation, argument or person, only a PhD can do that)
Thank you for doing the homework on my 1 year of postings..Not even my wife pays that much attention to me, makes me feel really valuable :)
I could have told you that. I have never contributed any money to IV and probably never will. Because i dont think they are doing anything. I have, however, answered a few people's questions about AP or H4 visa (something with which i had to spend a lot of time researching). That is the extent of my "contribution". I just answered a few earnest questions to the best of my ability.
You can attack me all you want. For example, probably I am not EB2..Hmm, I thought EB2 was an employment category and not a species classification but I may be wrong...
Anyway, what happens is that whenever a new visa bulletin rolls out, there are all these posts which basically say
1. Contribute
2. We must do something
3. What is IV core doing
4. Where is VDLRAO
5. When will the injustice end
etc etc etc
I have been seeing this for the last 3 years. First things first, If you want to take action, spend 41 cents every day and send a letter to your congressman or senator everyday for 1 year....For $149 per year (365 * 0.41 not counting leap years and counting on the fact that you will mail a letter even on holidays :))
At the end of the year, at least you have something to show for what you did. With IV, you can convince people that Patton Boggs is doing all they can for you, Trust them.
I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't :)

I received Card Production Ordered email today for my EAD renewal. I hope I get the EAD for 2 years. Will keep you guys posted on the EAD validity once I get it.
I got the same email this morning and status said EAD was ordered on june 30th.
I am pretty sure we will get a 2yr EAD but will just have to wait 2 more days to confirm this.... I wonder if they are looking at the current status and if you are on h1b they are issued 1yr and processed it before june 30, while if you are currently on EAD, they kept them until June 30th.. I doubt it but just a theory...

Has your company sent a termination letter to INS? Have they paid you for your travel back to India?
I may be wrong, but I think those two are necessary for an employer to invalidate a H-1.
Does anybody know how long an H1B visa can remain valid (including grace period) after a layoff ? What I know, is an H1B technically becomes invalid the day you stop rendering your services to your employer. The firm's lawyer suggested me to file for B1/B2 visitors visa to avoid going out-of-status.
Thanks.

My MTR was reconsidered--what a relief. Here is the response:
"Service motion to reopen or reconsider:
In the case at hand, the I-485 was denied because the underlying I-140 was revoked. However, the applicant is eligible for portability consideration under Ac21. Therefore, the applicant should have been notified of this eligibility before any final adverse action was taken on his I485. Pursuant to Part 103.5, Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, the denied I-140 petition referenced above has been reopened/reconsidered."
My attorney says that what this means is that only my I140 that was revoked is now open and they have yet to make a decision on I485.
My question to fellow members of this forum:
1. Has any of you recived similar response to your MTR filing against wrongful I485 denial
2. Please note that my case is slightly peculiar in that the I140 was revoked and aproved labor certification was substitued--if some one was in similar situation, please respond with specifics?
My MTR was recieved my TSC on Feb 9th, i received receipt notice on Feb 16th and final approval was made on March 10th and the letter arrived on March 16th. I am glad and thankful that they understood the urgency of my situation. Now the hunt starts for NEXT STEPS?

It has been mentioned earlier in the post that since this amendment has the status of "lie on the table" it will never be considered. Does anyone know (those who have been folowing the immigration debates for last couple of yrs or generally congerssional procedures ) that this amendment is already dead or have there been cases where such "lie on the table" amendments are reconsiderd for voting

It's not change in leadership, but a change in the quality of membership that is needed! As somebody mentioned, we need members who are patient and can contribute constructively and most importantly trust the folks who are leading from the front to do what is right.
Really have a feeling that most of all this stink and nonsense is being propogated by folks from programmers guild/numbers USA. Not a day goes by without somebody posting a distracting message.
I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

they were not formed at the last moment in most cases
what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...
We had similar experiences in New England too!
Not to mention cases where people that promised to come didn't show up. In two cases, we had people who didn't even answer their phone calls or reply to voicemails while we were waiting to pick them up from the pickup points! That is just unforgivable! One of these "people" were supposed to be part of our Lobby team!

Indebted to our employers for anything or in any form. We work and get paid for it - it's an even exchange, imo.
How long will it take them to lay you off tomorrow morning (or Monday morning or on X'mas/Diwali eve for that matter) if they didn't need you?
And vacation time, if part of the employment package, is a legal obligation of the employer - you can hold their feet to the fire for that and if you end up not taking any vacation you are entitled to compensation for the extra time worked when you leave.
These are the lines of thought that should prompt one to join IV and be involved with it .
jazz
Having time off with my boss is traumatic to say the least. I am entitled to seven weeks vacation a year and barely get three most of the time. Even when I am off I get phone calls and have to leave contact numbers, that includes when I am with my parents in England.
Can you imagine asking for two days off to go to an immigration rally that just reminds him that I will be out of his employment jail some time in the not too distant future I hope.
My green card process is in its sixth year. Look forward to shaking off my shackles and moving on with life. Glad to say my husband now has an EAD so at least he is free to work and join the human race again.
I am sure many people are in this sort of situation since we are indebted to our employers which is one of the things we would like to change.

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

For all those who don't believe in IV - First, thanks for giving me all those reds :) I guess that is the best you can do anyway besides complaining about IV. Second, if I understand it correctly you want to be associated with IV but on your terms. Every organization has a goal and it's own way of doing things. Take for example the companies you work for. There are lots of things that we don't like about our companies; do you go complaining about those to your board of directors?
Transparency? The only transparency I have and I need is that IV is the ONLY organization looking out for the highly skilled community.
The solution to this is simple like I said before - If you don't agree with IV's way of doing things, what is the need to come here and corrupt the minds of those who believe in IV. Please take it somewhere else. We promise we will not miss your business!

It is good to know that state chapters are semi internet. I beg to differ with you regarding "feeling that you are in trouble". Expecting people to feel that they are in trouble by telling them so will never work. If someone thinks they are in trouble they would work out the solution on their own, they will not sit and wait for someone to help. This is a flawed assumption.
Anyways I am going to join the IV chapter to share more of my ideas to help this cause. Already sent a PM to chanduv23
State boards are kind of semi internet usgae only (Though not forum...). But those also do not make passive ones come ahead. So real issue is not the type of meet, the first real issue is feeling that you are in trouble..and 2nd is to stand up for fighting against that. And 3rd.. yes through IV we will be able to do this and so become active.

I think all of us seems to be responding with full force when the core asked to call just one member Rep Lamar Smith..
Earlier when there was a long list of 8 to 10 members, folks takes a time to react and start calling in heavy numbers..
May be in future.. They can just give 2 to 3 reps and focus heavily for 2-3 days and then in second phase , second list targeting 2-3 members more.... and eventually one person gets the task to motivate members on one perticular sets of members and some one else can motivate for anohter list.
..Called Lamar Smith, Republican House Members , Called CHC and Local Representative..
So folks... Why wait when we can swing it and finish it off once for all..
So lets JUST DO IT ( Each and every call will be a steping stone for our future).
