The objective here is to add members; to acheive that we need get to the places where they go.
1. regularly visited websites
I am not saying we should advertise in Indian sites only. I am saying advertise in the sites where immigration applicants visit regularly.
Grocery stores & company HR sites are obviously other means to get attention of the immigration applicants.
Absolutely, I agree with you. Please help us out! Thank you!

Folks -
Two pronged approach to fix Lou's bigotry:
1. Mail an empty trashbag to Lou Dobbs, to reach by July 31
Let us each mail an empty trashbag with a covering note highlighting how biased and untrue his 'reporting' is.
Mail to:
Trashbags for Lou Dobbs Senseless Bigotry
1 CNN Ctr
NW Atlanta,
GA 30303
(or)
Trashbags for Lou Dobbs Senseless Bigotry
One CNN Center, Box 105366, Atlanta GA 30303
Imagine, what THOUSANDS OF TRASH BAGS would do in terms of media coverage and buzz!
Trashbag = $0.05
Mailing = $0.39
Opportunity to remedy the bigotry = PRICELESS
2. File online complaints at following direct links!
Report Errors on CNN TV
Send an online report NOW (http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form6a.html?2)

These will be more effective than trying to boycott Toyota, or other advertisers. Let us get direct and rebuke CNN for their shameless attacks on high skilled hardworking immigrants who continue the tradition of working towards the Great American Dream.
Cheers!

This is the influence of Lou DoGGs!
they call it 'attrition'! how much is their level of loathing immigrants that they hope they become desperate and either die from hunger or leave the country

Understood. Now you want all H1 L1 B1 everything to be stopped. So lets vote only for EAD/AP/GC till you get your GC. After that US should stop GC also, right? (but ofcourse, naturalization still should remain open for a few more years).
If one person can work for your job at $8/hr, and you are charging $100/hr, market would adjust itself to $8/hr (for a moment forget about who does this $8/hr, it can be a high-school kid, or anybody).The only reason why somebody blames that $8/hr kid for loosing his job is because he "thinks" he is "superior" to that kid. There are many situations where companies decide to retain "fresh college grads" and layoff "senior experienced" persons, to save money.
Don't take me wrong, but I also think the L1 is mis-used a bit. But I personally think the mis-usage comes from other factors (like H1 unavailability, employer prefer L1 because employee cannot change to another employer in L1, other H1 restrictions) etc..
I would not say there is a lot of misuse. In any law there will be some level of misuse / abuse. Because of current economic situation, this is just hyped.
More, I think the angle to look at H1 / L1 misuse is wrong. If any misuse / abuse is happening, that is because of improper address to labor situation. If government believed that there is a shortage in labor market, they should allow a person to come on his own visa that is independant of employer. Let that person fill the labor shortage gap. Rather they made everything employer dependant, gave employers full change to misuse / abuse the H1 and L1 category and the real solution to the issue - work force is paying heavy price of idiotic visa policy.

1) USCIS/State Dept has lost the credibility of the people, thus we should not rely on what they say in Visa Bulletins.
2) How come they wasted so many Visas since 2004 while they are saying VISA un available for EB3-India all along.
3) Why did they have not transferred EB3-ROW unused Visas to EB3-India,china categories all along?
4) How come they are transferring unused Visas to EB2-India with out any LAW passed by congress.
5) Why they can not do same thing for EB3-India and why do they need new LAW and why ask congress again. Even congress has showed lot of frustration about this but things won't happen there over night. They take years.
So the point is why USCIS not transferred unused EB3-ROW visas to EB3-India,china from 2004 to 2008????
I think leadership of IV needs to focus on this and I will be behind it.

Well,
I am also in same boat. I have been keeping myself busy with studies, I was able to complete MBA and as well PMP. However, I would like to caution people on study front. Please give lots of thoughts on what do you want to study. One of the problem which I am facing after my MBA degree i.e. I am more frustrated being stuck in current position and doing something for which I am over qualified.
I would be interested in knowing about prospect for folks like us in Aus. I would appreciate if someone on this thread provide some clues on Aus.
I went to India couple of months back and there are lots of opportunities. But, I am not convinced if Indian market will be able to sustain this momentum over long period of time due to infrastructure problems and weak governments.
It is good thread and we should keep sharing our thoughts.

This shows that the backlog is more than the numbers on USCIS website. People need to stop wasting time on tracking and spend time in their office work. Backlog means more business money for lawyers and trackers. IV is very small. Unless IV had hundreds of thousands of members, they cannot do lobbying like AILA or Microsoft. EB3 India and now EB3ROW is in a pitiable state. All those EB3ROW who used to be happy will now see the reality. Thank god I ported to EB2 but the dates for EB2 do not move enough. I think anyone who can should port to EB2 ASAP. This is the only solution.

Folks,
This my copyright and very much pertain to our situation:
*********************
I left my world in search of prosperity
The prosperity is taking an eternity
My struggle is long and daunting
Making it more and more frustrating
Life at times seems uncontrollable
Flowing with the time unstoppable
Graying hairs testify for the feeling
Fat belly making me further unappealing
Sometimes I think of going back
Try to gather the courage that I lack
But the world I left is not the same any more.
And the world I am in, has lost its lure.
I am on the crossroad of my life
One is forward, one is left and other is right.
I don�t like the choices shown
May be I would have to create a world of my own
***************
Thanks
Very Nice, Keep it up

Do what you got to do and let others do what they think is right. I don't think there is one Success mantra here...because we are yet to be successful.
Honestly, I agree with you...but the underlying fact is some people get motivated for calling the senators and some for anonymous fax/email/flowers and some for rallies. There is definitely a subset who does all...but unless you are a Gandhi/MLK/JFK/Mandela....it's hard to drive people in one route.
Just a thought...
one of the reasons we have not succeeded is precisely because folks want to use their own "intellect" and not do what "IV" needs when it really needs you.
we do all of the above and more. if you like something more than the other that's perfectly fine and dandy. but if we can't collect a critical mass for an action, we lose effectiveness and shoot ourselves in the foot.
in a group this large you simply have to help the commom action and agenda for success. each opinion is important but at the end of the day the common action must be done by all, as far as possible.

If one shows more loyalty than that shown by that entity, then one is a fool. That entity could be a country, party, company, spouse.
Right now, one entity (US government) is not showing much interest in our condition. That level of loyalty should be reciprocated but no more.

They do care about employees. They just can't handle immigration and visa issues. It is too complicated for a lot of employees. For a lot of employers, the term H1b visa or sponsership gives "jitters".
While a lot of employers look at things from their perspective, they do understand all issues that you face. It all depends on how important you are and if your absence would make a difference. If you are irreplacable, and employer thinks they must keep you at any cost, then they will do it, or you have to take care of yourself.
Thanks, you are right. It's like the water bucket analogy. Put your hand inside the bucket, and then take it out, and you won't see much difference in the water level. That's how expendable we are to our employers.

if you are unmarried.. Please check with an attorney before filing i485:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_benret.html
"Luxury of Additional Time to Find a Spouse
�MurthyDotCom
Third, if one is unmarried, the I-485 applicant is given the luxury of more time to choose a spouse. That spouse can enjoy dependent benefits and obtain permanent resident status based on being married prior to approval of the I-485. This is a huge benefit to those who were intending marriage, but need more time for one reason or another. There is an enormous benefit to marrying prior to the approval of the I-485, rather than after. If the marriage takes place after the I-485 is approved, the case becomes a family case and the spouse can be stuck abroad waiting for several years.
Note: A spouse is not entitled to obtain the "green card" automatically simply by getting married before the I-485 is approved. A spouse who gets married before the I-485 is approved is allowed to file and obtain the H4 visa from abroad and enter the U.S. on an H4 status as long as the principal maintains H1B status.
