Hi Mpadapa,
I also participated in meeting the lawmakers...Sept 18th to be exact.:) And yeah, I've been very nicely coached by Sumita on what to say and what not to...;)
What I meant was meeting those reps who have not been contacted. And which can be done locally all over the country.
I hope I'm clearer now...:)
485_se_dukhi, thanks for U'r suggestion about meeting local lawmakers. Indeed that is exactly what ppl had done on Sep 17 - Sep 19. We just covered about 150 lawmakers thats just ~1/4 of the lawmakers. Everyone can do the lawmaker meets at their local office, it doesn't require lot of effort just a few phone calls and few hrs to spare. Atleast one person from U'r state chapter would have attended the lawmaker meeting, U should contact U'r state lead on this and proceed further. Also those people who already attended the lawmaker meets are coached on what (not) to say during such meets..
I am sorry to say that "undocumented ppl" have more sponsors in Washington than that for EB-based immigration ppl:D We can sit and whine on forum, unless we take our issues to the forefront (lawmakers and media) no one is going to bother us:p Thats reality:D

How can you say there is no stress for the person working at home, raising the family?
The poor H1 soul is constantly over-stressed as he is supporting a spouse and a child or even two children.
Imagine how the H4 spouse feels...he/she cannot do a thing to alleviate frustrations of his loved ones as her hands are tied..
I deeply care for my husband and I had lived through some agonizing days in the past when he was out of work, without salary etc..knowing how much he is in pain himself as everyone and everything depends on him, literaly....
We will be moving away soon 'cause we care too much for each other's happines to continue to live in the circumstances where we only suffer ...

I just called Lamar smith's office, a lady took the call and once I mentioned that I'm calling on behalf of immigration voice, she immediately responded with the three bill numbers and said that she will pass on the message to the rep.
Not even took a mt, come on folks please call his office and request his support for the three bills.

Thank you everybody that has contributed. We need to raise $50,000 in the next 15 days. That is $3334 raised every day. Now even though this looks like a big amount to raise, with a collective effort we can do this. This is our chance to make this happen for ourselves. The alternative is just staying in limbo renewing EAD/AP every two years for atleast the next 10 years. That is an average cost of $800 every two years every member.
We need 17 members everyday contributing $200 everyday or 34 members contributing $100 everyday for the next 15 days.

I still like the idea of the "Gandhi" character. 10 IV members could dress like Gandhi, practice some coordinate steps and go for a parate on July 4th. That would be a pacific way to demonstrate our frustration.
We just need to find 10 skinny, bald and friendly Indian male members. I am afraid that based on how this process has depressed our community, there are a number of us with the two former qualitities required.
I don't think you should solicit members on the forum without fully letting us know the overall tone and message of your film. Where will the film be distributed and how it will be used? Who is funding your film? Get in touch with Immigration voice organization so that they can help you and let the forum members know if we should help you and if you will convey the right message for us through your film.

So you again ignited the thread once again that it had died. You have only two posts and that too only on this thread. That only shows that your only objective is to start infighting.
I don't care where you are from but where you belong is very much true .. at least not on this planet. You can go back to Mars or wherever you come from..

This clever trick isnt going to work forever. I understand a lot of you have already spent 8-9 years here waiting for a GC, but fresh H1-Bs like me fully know what the situation is and are mentally prepared with alternative plans for career advancement. Our strategy is to save like ants while here, make mimimal investments, apply for a GC and wait. If no reform is forthcoming, we will give up on the US as a long term option and head out much before we give the prime of our working careers to a dead-end job in this country.
If a majority of the H1-Bs do that, what will the tech companies do ? They will be forced to send more jobs to our home countries. Come on, you cannot do all your work with fresh-off-the-boat H1Bs .. experience will always be needed. If they cannot get those experienced folks here, the jobs will simply go where we are (and will get done for an even lower price of course).It is already happening; retrogression will only accelerate it. Such a situation effectively amounts to training foreign workers, paying them and sending them home. It is a no-brainer who the real loser is in such a bargain : yes, it is us in the short term, but ultimately the US economy will pay a price.
Current immigration policy is based on the assumption that our home countries will forever remain poor, and the US will have a never-ending stream of smart, hard-working people desperate to settle here. In a globalized world, that is fast becoming outdated.Sooner congress realises the better.
Let us fact it. We need GCs and we have waited for x years. Now that only seems to be illusion that may happen some day, many years from now. Have we contributed to this country. Yes in many folds.
Will the US govt provide relief. Probably not. They will certainly
raise H1bs as they need more contributors to SS. All this SKIL etc is just to keep us going for a few more years. After a few more years, many will give up, but get used to living the way we live now. We just wont have the energy to complain. After a while it is human nature, at least in most cases to accept. If we accept we will continue here hoping, some day GC will happen. I believe the majority will fall into this category. There maybe a few who will leave. But then there will be thousand more new H1b coming in to do the work, chasing the GC illusion, contributing to SS, buying cars, paying rents keeping the economy going. The lawyers will make money. Employers will get indentured workers. The economy will benefit from their productivity. So all concerned except you and me will be OK.
They understand the circle of life better than you and I do. It is about time we understand this. Once this sinks in, we will make the right choice, whet ever that maybe.

Hi, I have a question about PERM labor process. How soon can an employer apply PERM labor certification after hiring an employee?
There is no statutory requirement on wait time. You may not even be an employee when your future employer files for your PERM as green card is for future job.
It's up to your company policies and your "persuasion skills!"

Campaign contribution is the lubricant oil of politics (all pun intended - big oil is the biggest contributor to both parties).
Strength of IV & the skilled immigrant community should translate to campaign dollars. If the skilled immigrant community is in powerful positions in big firms, they can influence company contributions. Same applies for companies (to be) founded by immigrants.
We need to put our money where our mouth is.

Hello,
I have been going through this discussion. I am in a similar situation where I got a Welcome Notice saying my I-485 was approved and I should be receiving my card in 3 weeks when my PD is not current and in fact, the PD is a couple of years behind! It has been 6 months since I got the notice and no GC is in sight. After calling the customer service in March, they told me that they did not have my biometrics in their system and so I had to go for a biometrics appointment early April. It is almost 3 months since then and I still have no GC card. I know that there is a delay in card production, but at the same time, I am wondering if the I-485 approval was by mistake and that is causing the real problem. I am in talks with a lawyer who suggests it is better to correct the USCIS mistake right now rather than getting into complications in the long run. I am frustrated that I have to pay for an attorney for a mistake USCIS did and concerned what will happen in future when I proceed with their advice.
Could one of you who faced this situation descibe how you handled the situation or how you would handle this situation? In my case, there is no other I-485 or anything filed before and I have never been out of status or had any issue ever.
Thank you.
Could not believe this, unless you update your profile. Thanks

Someone please explain this to me,
The labor certification for a EB visa is based on a job/position requirement.
What is the intent of EB based GC?
How long is the person expected to the job for which the LC was approved?
Does that clock start when the LC was approved or when the i485 was approved?
If there is an drive for this effort, I will contribute.

Put in a modest membership as $250 a year or $25/month. No trial memberships or free rides. That way you will really know the serious members and we will able to verify anti-immigrants vs the actual people. Let's go PAID !!! Also please plan on considering web advertisements on this website as another source of funding the movement.

If you friends spouse was on H1 then i think her current status with USCIS would be H1.
Since she is not working with the current employer she need to do the following things to void H1 status.
a) Start using EAD to work.
b) Use AP to re-enter the country.
c) Get H4 status change.
Otherwise her current status would be in H1.it could create some problem if beyond couple of weeks.

The intent about letting foreigners come to work in US is to fill the gap between the demand and the local availability of skills. It is not about rewarding the foreigners academic skills.
If you want to work here, then get skills in a field where there is a shortage here and you will not have problems with H1 sponsorship.
When you did your Masters degree in US, you should have been more smart in selecting your area of study.
Why should US allow foreigners to work against its citizens when there is no shortage of skill.
Your frustation is understandable from your perspective but definitely not from a US citizens perspective.
This is definitely a wrong advice. People pursue their passion and do their Masters in a field they like. People do not look around which field is giving a Green card. US is not dictating the job market in this global economy.

Transfer of the Earlier Priority Date : EB3 to New EB2
�MurthyDotCom
The ability to transfer priority dates from an earlier, approved, I-140 to a later-filed I-140 could provide an alternative for job mobility, both within the current employer's organization or with a new employer. This would be helpful for those who want to make a change but are not eligible to file the I-485 application because of retrogression. It also could help people who are eligible to change from an EB3 classification to EB2. One would be eligible to request a transfer of the priority date from the earlier-filed EB3 petition to a new EB2 petition once the I-140 is approved. The new EB2 petition would need to be based upon a new LC for a position requiring the EB2 level of education and/or experience. (Over time, many people with EB3 cases have become eligible for EB2 cases due to increased experience and/or education, and promotions.)
This strategy potentially could shave off a few years in the queue for available immigrant visa numbers. This may be particularly appealing to those who had EB3 labor certifications filed on their behalf long ago and have had their cases pending while they have gained advanced degrees, acquired several more years of experience, and/or are offered jobs at higher levels. Keep in mind, though, that this involves filing a whole new LC under the PERM system for a new job opportunity and that the employer must actually require the additional degree and/or experience for all persons holding that job classification in order for the new case to be filed as EB2.

Hi Guys...
Here is 100 more from me through Paypal. I was excited to learn that there is another bill in the works that supports converting the 55,000 visas to advanced degree holders. That will free up a lot of visas in the EB-2 category and also some in the EB-3 category.
