Pappu,
I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!
Thank you very much av2004 and axp817

Those who do talk and blame in the anonymity of the web andnever do anything and keep hiding behind their closets expecting sky to fall are the one who "don't wear clothes"
Chandu, you made me laugh (in a fun way, not in the making fun of you way). Hiding is done inside the closet, not behind it. Maybe lack of clothes is explainable because one is "behind" the closet :)
On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
I have absolutely no right to ask that question because i have never contributed money. But when i am told that I dont have access to this thread or that thread because I am not a donor...I do have the right to question if this organization actually represents all immigrants or just the donors?? If the motto of IV becomes "Change for fairness and justice (For Donors Only)" then it would make a lot more sense to me. But as long as IV keeps on harping that they represent the plight of legal immigrants (which I am) then I do have the right to ask the question ..."What exactly has IV done?"
Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).

Same excat thing happend to our family. They had to drive down from North Carolina to get the PIO card from Embassy in Washington.
Hi All,
I applied for my daughter's PIO card and sent all the documents as mentioned in the instructions sheet of the embassy website along with the self addressed stamped envelope. I heard from my other friends that even after you send everything in order, the embassy people would call and say that they did not receive the self addressed stamped envelop. It happened to three of my friends. I am the 4th one. They called today to tell that I did not send the envelope.
The funny part that happened with my friends is that, they all sent $20 and the package came in the very envelope they sent in the first place, that the embassy said they didn't receive.
Did anybody of you also had the same kind of experience or similar incident. If so, please do share.
Why are they doing like that? Do they really think we would do like that, trying to save on an self addressed envelope? It really bothered me for the fact that the lady from the consulate was utterly rude when talking. I am amazed how in the world, The Indian Government is still hiring such people? Of more then a billion population, is that the best person the government of India could find for that customer service post? Its a shame and I am ashamed that such dic*heads working and representing India?
Coming back to the issue...she said sternly, send $20.00 or send envelope stamped otherwise the application would not be processed.
Folks, please let me know where I can complain about this careless attitude of this monster woman. What steps can I take to make sure they don't do that again? I live in TN and I can't fly/drive to Washington DC. The questions is not about the money, but the way they are operating without any ethics is deplorable.
Hoping to hear all your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.

Got my approval but my spouse hasn't yet received one.
We e-filed it together through the same account. My LIN was constantly getting updated with the status but not my husband. I also received the notification when my application was approved. I got my approval in the mail today too (about 1 month turnaround time) .But we haven't received any notification on my husband's case. And the online status hasn't changed either. Did anybody else face this? Not sure how to follow-up. Any pointers?
Call the 1-800 number in the approval notice and select the options 1->7->4->3 and they will be able to help check the status of the application. You need the receipt no when you call them

My greatest friend buddyinsfo, where were you for so long. I missed you all this time. How are things going man. How r the kids doing? I miss you on this forum buddy, you got to show up often, please.
You jerk, EVERY non profit need resources to "DO" stuff. EVERY non-profit has to have a revenue stream of some sort. Just because its a "non-profit" doesn't mean that everyone will give or do stuff free for a non-profit. Is that so difficult to understand for a "highly educated"/"highly skilled" immigrant such as yourself? The bandwidth you used to write your post for the audience of the world wide web, that was paid for by my hard earned $$$$. You want this group of folks to do stuff but you don't want to part with a dime. Nice.
But hey, who cares, lets get back to our favorite topic - complain about someone about something, shall we. Lets blame someone and vent out my frustration before I go to bed. If nothing else, it will be therapeutic. Idiot.
.
Is this the language 2 civilized people use to discuss or debate. When 2 people debate, both believe other is not right - thats why its called discussion or debate. Doesn't mean we need to use extreme or bad words.

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.

Could you please provide following info
1. I-797 dates for Employer 2 and X
2. Last Date of entry in USA
3. Date when I-485 was filed
I-94 number being same does not mean much. One can have same I-94 number for COS from H1 to F1. On the other hand, one can have different I-94 with H-1B transfer. Typically, H-1B transfer means new H-1B petition for the beneficiary who is/was in H-1B status and is not subject to H-1 cap.
If beneficiary's initial H-1B was counted against cap in last 6 years, then subsequent H-1B petitions are not subject to cap and usually referred as H-1B transfers.

Cantwell is there. May be they did not update their site, but they updated the bill number. The heading says "Background Information on S. 1639, formerly S. 1348"
The word on the street is that the Cantwell amendment is not a part of the list of amendments that are currently floating around in Senate offices. There are 20 of them.
Even Bernie Sanders has one more coming (Yes, it is related to H1B). But Cantwell amendment is not there in the list of 20.
Here is the list of 20:
Democratic Amendments
1199 Dodd Family parent visas
1313 Webb Community ties for Zs
1236 Baucus-Tester Strike all reference to REAL ID
1332 Sanders Employers to certify no mass layoff
1344 Byrd Border security immigration fee
1317 Menendez Increased family points in merit system
1340 Brown Employers post job at state agency
1468 McCaskill Repeat violators who hire undocumented workers
1486 Levin Iraqi religious minority refugees
1386 Leahy Refugee Scholars (may instead be 1289 on EB-5 investors)
------ Schumer Tamper-proof biometric social security card (no language yet)
1198 Boxer Reducing Y visa cap by number of Y workers who overstay
Republican Amendments
1161 Alexander Oath of allegiance for naturalization (may move to manager�s package)
1255 Bond Prohibits green cards for Z holders
1473 Coleman information sharing/sanctuary cities (Coleman is redrafting, new language not available)
1335/1258 Domenici Federal judgeship increase (redrafting)
1490 Ensign Preclusion of social security benefits
1465 Graham Enforcement, plus other potential agreed upon amendments folded in (redrafting, content not clear)
1441 Grassley-Baucus Obama Strike and replace Title III (small changes possible)
1440 Hutchison Touchback/strike and replace title vi (redrafting)
1174 Thune Probationary legal status triggers
1318 Chambliss Totalization agreement
1282 Isakson Preemption/Home Depot (redrafting)
------ Graham Criminal penalties/mandatory minimums for overstays

The messages you are getting from your House reps and Senators are standard messages that they have on this issue.
Please do not be discouraged by the email back messages from them, because frankly it is just an automated standard reply.
The idea really is to make them take notice and hopefully have some body (staffer) read atleast one of our email messages entirely and realise what our issue/s are. We need to make them aware of us- "Immigration voice" as an organisation and educate them on the issues we face. So if we continue to send them messages, that will be a big help and it builds momentum towards the advocacy event.

As far as my knowledge goes, the I 140 substitutions are no more accepted by USCIS. I may be wrong. Other members can comment..
I have made similar post on another thread on IV--so this is a repeat:
The key is revocation vs. substitution. Per discussions with immi attorneys, AC21 portability is not explicit on what needs to be done if I140 is substituted by previous employer and NOT REVOKED, and the applicant is eligible for changing jobs (same desc and 180 days pending). The fact is that this loophole leads to illogical scenario--2 applicants taking benefit from same I140.
Question to you and other forum members: Is there a thread on this specific topic?
My situation:
I485 denied on Oct 24th 2008. I did not get the letter and realized only when I checked on the USCIS website. My attorney also did not get the letter of denial or even the NOID.
I changed jobs in June 2006 by invoking AC21 (Priority Date - Oct 2002, I140 and I485 filed concurrently, I140 approved in Feb 2005).
The fact is that on all forums there is talk about revocation by previous employer. However please note that approved I140 could either be revoked or substituted. While those AC21 memos talk about revoked I140, the law is not clear when previous employer substitutes the approved I140. I know the substitution process is no longer legal since June 2007, however, it has been abused in the past. My questions to forum members:
1. Is any one in similar situation?
2. I have H1B only until June 2009 and EAD unitil Sep 2009, Can I work until then (Jun or Sept) assuming MTR is resolved in 2 months (per some optimistic posts on IV). I am working on EAD.
3. If my employer were to file a new PERM labor application--can I port my previous priority date? How soon is PERM labor in EB2 category getting approved.
