Cannot argue with your experience. But I still think providing a convenient automatic way to pay small amounts for a specific period of time will help. (the suggestion of $30 over 6 months or 60 dollars over 6 months etc.) Sure people can do it on their own, schedule it, remember it and have the will to do it et al.
But when I put myself in the donor's shoes, it feels like the old times when there were no automated payments for electric bills. :D
This has been discussed umpteen number of times, but I am going to share a personal experience here (shared once already on a similar thread).
For the last state chapter (Diwali Mela) event in North CA we were accepting ANY AMOUNT for a contribution, but were suggesting $25 or $50.
How many contributed? About 20 from a state chapter that boasts of 150+ members.
The fact is, people do one of the following:
1. look at the recommended amount and contribute that amount (most of our donors were $25, and a few paid $50)
2. pay a high $ amount simply because (s)he is convinced he wants to help as much as possible! (Most of the volunteers for the event paid $50 or more, and three of them paid $90/$100 each)
3. DO NOT pay, no matter what, as they are not convinced it will help reduce their waiting time
One more time... IV is not turning anyone away. If you can only contribute $10 a month, please feel free to paypal it yourself to donations at immigrationvoice.org
Like the squirrel who helped Lord Rama construct the bridge (sorry for making this a slightly "Indian" post, but can't think of a better analogy) every small bit is going to help IV, and will be most appreciated!
However, the bridge to the GC is a long one, and our Lord Rama (IV) needs thousands of hard-working and contributing monkeys to make it a reality:D

:( Can the figure $40000 be changed to something appropriate, like " at least the prevailing wage specified by DOL for the job occupation"?
Signed, in fact do we have any lawyers member here, let's sue them as well for spreading the false statements and hurting sentiments of millions.:(
Thank you for your suggestion gdhiren. You are right - prevailing wage sounds good. However since the petition is already signed I can't change it. However nothing in the petition is factually incorrect. It is just one of those things not clearly stated.

Congratulations.
You have the right to feel what you want. But here are my 2 cents:
You on paper are now an american. It gives you good easy travel without visas etc.
However people WILL treat you by your appearance/color/etc...
I request you to help your birthcountry by donating to schools etc like you donate to charities here(goodwill store etc).
Let me know if you dont agree!

Lets concentrate on EB issues. Those who have not yet joined a State chapter, please do so now.
Joining the State chapter and help grassroots efforts is an ongoing action item and everyone here MUST join your State chapter and contribute towards grassroots efforts.
Nothing much can be achieved by writing individual emails.
We need to focus on our issues and do what is organized, collective effort.

AC21 is a law but certain provisions of AC21 have been introduced in separate memos.
Job portability under AC21 is also part of a guidance / memo - so if any AC21 case goes for hearing in an immigration court, any change of employers while 485 is pending is considered illegal. This is not very common though.
Don't assume things and come up with your own theories and scare people. The entire AC21 law is basically dealing with portability at different stages for long delayed applicants.

Believe it or not, I know a consultant who lives in one of those "guest houses" where consultants who come from India are housed, and there is a guy who lives there whose job is to cook, clean and buy groceries for the housmates. HE HAS A GC APPLICATION PENDING! And people like me and many others who truely deserve to be hired and retained in this country are facing an uphill task of getting through the GC process.
That cook guy came to the US with a Bachelor degree in commerce, called B.Com. He hasn't been able to get a project for 4 3 years now. He doesn't get paid by the company. He is just a freeloader living there.
Imagine how many suck "cooks", "maids", and gas station employees might be out there clogging up the system!

another nice topic to debate....i know that i debated with people about this a while ago and they made good arguments why setting immigration limits/controls by country origin is not discrimination.
Besides the limit is the same for all countries so very difficult to argue for discrimination
It is about individuals, not nations.
I am from India, and I am waiting for someone from other countries who does not even exist. And someone who does not exist (as yet) has a place reserved for him ahead of me, just because he is from that country
Maybe there is a better way of putting this.. no inspiration right now :)

I have not contributed much as comapred to top guys but I have generated atleast $600 through my efforts to rope in new guys & requested them to put in some money. Some did but some did not
Same here, infact i was even lucky enough to generate abt $200 from 2 american citizens of Indian origin of my community.

Guys,
How long it takes to get your passport back, stamped with a H4 visa, from the time you attend interview at the Chennai consulate.
Do they delay even for H4's these days? Want to know the average turn around time to make travel plans.
Please share your experiences.
Thanks!
