donated $50; learned about the organization on June 8, participated in the event - not knowing any of the issues. Was an eye opener to the legislative process. I did not do much, just accompanied the IV members to the meetings - these members were well prepared to present the case as well as to answer questions. I am impressed, and here I am registered and donated.
Thank you IV for being pro-active. Feels good to be part of the action.
Thanks Motivated for your contributions.
Please post on the funding drive.

I had this question - how the 50k would be used? If you could post in greater detail perhaps more members would be enlightened to contribute
The only way to enlighten yourself and others is to get yourself and your friends involved and participating towards the effort. You will automatically see the sacrifices made by others who are not thinking about "I" all the time.
No sensible member would expect detailed spending reports to be published on a public forum. I hope you weren't expecting that?

I like the idea. We had enough talk (positive and negative). Let us start working on it.
How do we start? Where to start?

Unfortunately the system does not work that way. Let me ask you this. If you believed in being result oriented and time bound and made an investment to file your green card, when do you think the investment will pay off? Some things money can't buy, it takes tonnes and tonnes of energy to make a change. Believe in this organization and invest your time in helping this organization.
Actively participate in all action items, mobilize your community, your state chapters. Spread awareness and build a sense of cohesiveness. Consider everyone here part of a family and remember everyone who works tirelessly work for all of us, not just them. Find out if there is anyway you can help, there are so many opportunities where IV needs all of us. Stand up, get up and move..
Yes, after all the hard work there are things that may not work, but if we don't try, the system will not fix itself.
I tried saying the same thing in all my posts. But people are just not willing to organize themselves to help themselves. Everyone wants the issue to be fixxed, but no one wants to come forward.
Everyone asks about IVs agenda. IVs agenda is clear - "IV has given you a platform, so help yourself". If people are willing to take up a cause - IV will support. But our people do not want it. People want to discuss, crib and cry and blame IV and fight.

Yes.
If members continue the support and we will definitely now aim for these. The battle is only half won with 485 filings
Man, Don't know how you have time to read all messages in the forum and respond so quick. It's almost like you guys are not human; just machines processing information and acting. This is way beyond a full-time job. It must require so much commitment and probably sacrificing a lot of your personal life.
I just don't know how I can thank you enough for the service you do to the community. I guys have good drive.
All the members have been around through thick and thin. Hats off to every body. I was one of the first few who sent flowers and had no hope that anything would come out of that. It was great. What started with flowers just spread like a fire and here we are.
I feel great and proud to be part of IV.
Go IV!!! :) :) :) :)

First of all let me thank all of you who responded to this thread positively or negatively. I have a humble request. Please make sure that the comments that you post in this thread are not finger pointers to anyone else in the community. Please provide your positive or negative comments about this idea. Also make sure that your comments are not cynical ones which will just put this idea into the dust bin. If you can't motivate, please do not discourage others from getting some motivation and giving motivation. Without positive energy and a conducive environment, we will not achieve anything. If you have high cynical opinion, please hold that with you - as it will help you as well - because by doing that, you are helping this community to work on an issue with positive energy. If there is some positive outcome of the effort by this community, you too can enjoy the fruit. So, my point is, your biggest help would be keeping quiet. Let�s have a constructive and productive brain storming.
Even after this brain-storming, if our conclusion is negative, we should not give up. We should continue to work on this and if this requires a legislative change, still this may be an easy one as it won�t add any new GC numbers to the existing quota. This just removes the UNCERTAINITY surrounds our life. What I meant was, there won�t be much ammunition that the protectionists and anti-immigrants can gather against this effort.
I can completely understand the user Ganguteli�s frustration. He has a very valid point too, with respect to applying for I-485 when dates are not current. As I quoted earlier �A journey of a thousand miles begins with a small step.�. So, we should continue this effort in small steps instead of a big bang method. In this current economic environment, if our proposal is too big, it could get ignored within no time. Administration will say that, we will do this along with Comprehensive Immigration reform or something like that. We may add a reasonable addition to this proposal to fix the problems of folks like Ganguteli. Something like, if your 140 is approved and 1 year has passed, the person must be able to apply for 485 irrespective of whether his country is retrogressed or not. I am not sure about the legality of all these. That�s where the importance of this community emerges. If we can work together, we can solve all our problems in small steps.
If IV and our community take this as a priority item to work on, I will provide $500.00 as an initial aid to this effort. I could offer more on the way.
An interesting idea to say the least. Out of box suggestion.
However, there are few things, from legal point of view, it needs to overcome. I will post my detailed comments this afternoon.
Once again, this is a great idea!

Hi, I'm very tensed. I applied for H-1B under master CAP. I have finished all degree requirements including depositing PhD thesis. However, at the time of filing I could not wait for a letter from the registrar (it takes 5 business days).
So, I filed with a letter from my dept. The letter has the letterhead of the university and states that I completed all degree requirements and will graduate May 13th. It is signed by the dept associate dean.
Would that suffice? Could the petition be denied?
I have seen some denials but all for ppl who hasn't actually completed all requirements at the time of filing.
The petition was filed under regular processing, VSC. I got a receipt notice dated April/24. Online status still shows case pending.
Thanks for any replies.
What was the date on which you filed. I think you should be fine. I did it the same way and got the letter from the Grad School. Mine was filed on 23rd. I haven't received the receipt yet!! dunno when it would come in!! this delay sucks!

No cap would be the best solution... but that is very tough to sell in Washington....That's why all this complications of asking to take dependents out of the cap and allowing overflow to go to China/India...
As I understand, IV already made these arguments to senators and even the senators who are sympathetic to immigration are not willing to remove the cap..The only thing they would accept is that the overflow would go to India/China/oversubscribed countries....I wonder if one of the core members would comment on this.....You do not need to name names....Just a request give a description of your interactions with law makers in this regard...That would put this issue to rest.....
theortically what longg says is correct.The system is not fair......but not many are listening to us at this point...So we have to find some way out of the situation.....
We need both alisa and longg as members because we need more to get traction in Washington.....the only common solution for these would be to get the numbers increased somehow....Otherwise EB3-EB3-India-China-ROW keep fighting each other...you would have nothing....
If the DOS says this is because this what the law establishes:
"The annual per-country limitation of 7% is a cap, meaning visa issuances to any single country may not exceed this figure. This limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however. The per-country limitation serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the visa numbers by applicants from only a few countries.
How do you like if people from a certain country go to India to take all your jobs?

I am EB3-I (pd 02 retrogressed) but was interested in this discussion so i emailed my lawyer about it. She said, historically the last month of the fiscal year has the most approvals as they try to clear as much as they can. You will see a lot more approvals from next week or sept 2nd week.
.......assuming there are still remaining visa numbers. It so happened last few of years that USCIS was sitting on their hands until last month. Is it the case this year ?

If we can even collectively demand official data, which I think we are entitled to, it will help IV community in estimating the wait times for individual cases. It may also help USCIS in correcting their projections and foreseeing the demand.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21462
Count me in for any effort in this direction.
I think USCIS actions are too random . I do not think they want to see the real projections or the real demands. If they wanted to , believe me it should not have been difficult at all. Nevertheless, the first step towards that would be asking for transparency. The letter and poster campaign can do that.

my reply was only meant to highlight what you have been doing on this thread. i do not care who is in which EB category. and i know exactly how people with masters degrees suffer in EB3. however, for you to argue that all category preference should just disappear, is quite ridiculous and i have explained the reasons to you. that does not mean people in EB3 are not suffering or that all those in EB3 are either holding advanced degrees or 3 year bachelor degrees. that stereotyping is in your head alone. certainly not in mine. you never answered any of my questions though. what would be the effect of YOUR solutions? would people like me EVER get a GC?
please do not unload your frustrations on all of us and derail what should be important.
iv has one goal- to end retrogression. period. iv's founder belonged to EB3. so do several core members. you have some funny perception that iv is about EB2. so be it. ironical though, because iv is commonly accused of being an entirely EB3 india organization.
so let me hear how the following things iv has constantly been fighting for, are somehow not helpful for EB3??
recapture GC
exempt families
remove country quotas
as for STEM exemption, if EB2 clears up, where do you think the GC numbers will go? what should we ask for? exemption for all??? not to mention that would get YOU a GC as quickly as possible and would LEAVE ME OUT. i still call and lobby for STEM exemption. i don't whine and moan on the forum about how it excludes health care professionals. if i have an issue, i work to resolve it- note the iv-physicians chapter in my signature that works to resolve specific issues. i created it and we have had success in reaching lawmakers with our problems.
anyway, iv is clearly not about a few leaders. the tone on the forums and the discussions are dictated by its members. iv has more EB3 members than any other category. so now ask yourself, WHY does the forum seem to discuss more EB2 issues (at least to you) ??? whose fault would that be if it were true? who needs to take responsibility to highlight their issues?
you have the option to change your job sir. if you are so frustrated, find a job that is up to your skill levels. you will not hear me on this forum complaining that EB1 should not get preference- hey i contribute as much or more. so why?
get with it. we fight the battles we think we can win. ANY GC numbers/exemptions will move everyone ahead in the line. what part of that do you not understand?
and now again. stop this divisive crap. we have more important issues to deal with.
Excellent post. My thoughts exactly.
