1) We got a spike in new membership and funds
2) We now have atleast 2 more NATIONAL publications who have taken notice of our activities and are more sympathetic to our causes. They feel we have a compelling story and they are interested in publishing about our plight...
In fact two IV members are being interviewed today by a leading publication.
and the most important
3) We got additional material to provide to senators and their staff...this really helps as we do not have to establish ourselves....our stories along with newspaper articles help make our case much stronger....
When we initially started meeting senators, their staff would ask QGA 'Immigration Voice, who or what is that?'
Lately when we go to meet them, most of the staff have already visited our sites multiple times, know about us because of phone calls and faxes by members and ofcourse the articles that have been published....on top of this when we provide stories of members from their constituency, 50% of our work is already achieved....the liason team and QGA take over from there.
So to answer your question, yes it helped a lot

As I alluded to earlier. Specualtion is all one can indulge in. Everyone know what our plight is. Politicians and USCIS act dumb to suit and advance their own needs and agendas. Things will start moving only when the politicians decide it suits their needs

what makes you think that EB3 are just graduates only? i worked in top 3 telecom company with B.tech+ 8 years experience before joining that company as full time employee in 2000 Jan. they started by GC process in JAn 2001.
but they have a company policy that all will be filed as EB3 no matter what. i have my colleagues who have masters from US, but still EB3. what do you say ?
what pisses me off is today i have more than 15 years of experience in IT , (yes Information technology only) and still in the line with EB3.
I'm happy that atleast EB2 is moving but at the same time there must be a balance for EB3 as well. that's all my point
(NOte: i was playing by rule so far and no regrets for that)
I strongly agree with you and forgive stupid MAsters guys for his stupid comments.....this is the way he is showing support for everyone

Dear All,
The idea behind this thread was to consider the option of a Time Bound Path for he beneift of the existing EB2 / EB3 folks who have filed Labour / I - 140 / 485.
I think the purpose of this thread is totally lost.
I am not sure how STEM or F1 or whatever should be a discussion here.
Anything we start here ends up in an acrimonious debate and many a time becomes very unpleasant and personal.
What are we all here for? Is it not our idea to to bring some relief to the EB immigrants?
Once again I request one and all to kindly refrain from unpleasant debates and think of working together for the welfare of the EB2 / EB3 community.
If we have our objectives clear and work towards a common goal, we sure can achieve success!
Kindly try to understand!!!

Hi Everybody,
I would like to start this thread for the benefit of people who do not have a straightforward immigration history. In a nutshell, I hope in the future this thread will serve to provide information and advice on
Out of Status issues - Inconsistency with what's stamped in the passport and what you're actually doing
Unlawful Stay - Stay beyond the date in the I-94 card
The main focus will be on what these things can do to your i) AOS/CP filings ;and/or ii) future non-immigrant visas.
I came to this country because of a twist of fate and had zero knowledge of the immigration laws here. Through the school of hard knocks, I have gained considerable knowledge about this convoluted process that affects us all and hopefully what I learnt will be of use to other people in the same boat.
A special mention goes out to "unitednations" for his skill and knowledge about various issues. Thanks buddy, you're a huge asset to all of us.
Dude ,
You been thru a lot and looks like you still have some sanity left in you. Keep up the good spirit ... Good luck with your 485 ...:)

I also personally think the lawsuit is the better way, especially in the election year.
It can produce one of the three results:
1> We Win... Everything is fine.
2> We Lose... At least the thing got settled and it is clear that the US can create discriminatory laws.
3> Force Congress & the US govt. to expediately state its stand & justify the stand on the per country quota limit in employment based immigration.
Everyone, I talked to including some lawyers, especially after 9/11, thought that nothing could be done about FBI check ups. But guess what, the courts decided in favor and required that FBI check ups be done in 6 months.
Second case would be about Guatanamo Bay prisoners. Even there, the courts decided the prisoners were protected by the US human rights laws.
The good thing about the US is the case gets settled/decided ASAP, and it would make sense to give the lawsuit a try.

Yes,, they did...
Our forefathers travelled to the promised land in ships that were full of rats, without food or water. Several of them died while trying to reach here.
Once here on the promised land, we had to fight our way to create a free society that you are dying to be part of. America is land of entrepreneurs.
And any one that don't have an entrepreneurial spirit is not welcomed here.
What do you have to bring to the table?
So are we putting up with all the biased folks like you. We go to work everyday and earn our pay. We are not a burden to US. We contribute to the economy. We start about 25% of the companies. I can go on and on.
My question first though to the mods is why is this guy and his IP not banned?

This is the reason I would not want to give the ASC info. People will start bombarding the office, like they misuse the POJ method calling for nothing.
unbelievable.. cableching, why are you so concerned about ASC? just go home and sleep. I think you had your fun for the day.

i think v r f'ed up big time; part of the problem was setting our hopes higher.
on another note, if some ppl call this a rumor, I would say this is US and "almost all" rumors in US are true.
I just hope its not true.

Nice work, ItIsNotFunny.
This is also an example of what this community is capable of doing, when we have a clear goal and proper directions on how to reach that goal. In just 3 days, we could raise $5000.
I have one message from Pappu that they have some updates on this. I don't know any details so far. Hopefully we will get some account information soon! If not, we will see how to create a pool account for this and then submit to IV. One thing is for sure, I don't think we can not afford loosing this golden opportunity. I don't want to loose this to bureaucracy.
Thanks everyone for support. So far pledge is $4300. We are close!

A Great Big Thank You to all of you who have been Contributing to enable IV to organize an event of this proportion.
Thank You IV for providing us with this platform to get our voices heard where it matters the most. Go IV!
The phenomenal experience of actually doing something positive to solve our problems is - but I am just acknowledging the great enthusiasm that was vibrating with our members - they realized the gravity of the situation, the opportunity that was within their grasp and wanted to make the best use of it. Hats off to you guys!!
IV realizes that our strength lies within our members and their dedication - both in terms of participation and funding. And if there is one thing that almost every single participant took home from the event is that - we still have a long way to go and we need far more support and participation. .
Thank You needhelp!, Devang, StarSun for summarizing the DC Experience. Each one of us that went to DC came back with a more positive outlook, the satisfaction of doing something good. I will write in detail my personal experience, but in a nutshell- The camaraderie, the enthusiasm and the tireless effort that some members put in is just commendable.

I think option 1 is best. We can request members to put the FOIA comment while paying. This is for IV leadership to track FOIA specific payments.
Option 2: Who ever is actually setting up the paypal account needs to be aware of tax issues. We don't want to pay 30% of our $5000 to UncleSam.
Guys,
I want your input on a very important issue. So far I haven't heard anything proper from IV Core. We achieved the pledge goal. This really shows everybody's passion to get the real data.
We have couple of options:
1. We deposit all the amount to IV's regular account. In that case quite a few guys have asked for guarantee that first $5000 out of this money will be spent specifically for this purpose.
2. We create a new paypal account, get all the donation in that acccount and one of us get the data from USCIS and share with everyone on IV thread itself.
Please let me know your opinion ASAP. This is very important and quick reply is necessary.
