My slogans: Fees double, More trouble.
Be legal = Pay more fees and NO GC
IF IMMIGRANT STATUS = LEGAL then
{
WAIT FOR "N" YEARS
PAY MORE FEES
NO GC
}
EndIF
Also we need to emphasize & communicate is the "increased fees" (almost doubled in many cases) for all USCIS services effective end of this month (July 30).
The rallys and campaigns should emphasize this important detail too. This is huge money and not fair to the amount of service that is being currently provided.
Is this the penalty to be legal ?

Guys,
Though i can't do it, as i am in India after my Visa Denial, some group of people should adopt Gandhiri priniciples and do a fast unto death principile before the White House while others should support all the people who are fasting.
Otherwise, our talks will never get noticed.
India got 52Billion $ in Remittances . Most of them from US. No GC means more remittances.
Think collectively and do something big.

I am curious to know what's stopping the EB3s to port their dates to the EB2 category. I've been seriously considering this lately.
I tried doing that. Convinced the employer to file a new labor for a new position, advertized again, filed a new labor under PERM, applied for a new I-140 and waited for a year for approval ... now the I-140 has been denied for A2P and is under appeal; I must confess that I have lost hope that it'll get re-opened and approved.
So all my efforts for getting a EB2 140 have failed.....what do you recommend, I start this entire process again. Even if I'm willing to bear the cost, the employer will not file yet another labor.
EB3 wait is my only way out now......
thanks

I am sure that IV has a game plan (and I sincerely hope I am not wrong here). As a matter of interest I have been regularly monitoring NumbersUSA and FAIR websites and they have already set out an agenda with a list of action items for their members. This includes passage in the Senate of restrictionist bills like H.R. 6061, H.R. 6094, H.R. 6095 etc. In fact they have notified their constituents that Congress will be holding a lame duck session beginning November 13th and that they should keep up the pressure on their legislators.
We need something similar to this - Do all the IV constituents even know that there's a lame duck session coming up? - Probably not. The core team needs to do a better job in communicating time lines and action items for IV members to act upon. We are ready to jump into the fray again however as IV's mission statement rightly says - we need our efforts to be organized and directed for maximum impact. Even if we are out-numbered 400-1 (or whatever that number is) by the restrictionists - we need to make the politicians aware that our voice needs to be heard too.
For starters - we could at least have a webfax similar to the AILA one urging immigration reform during the lame duck session (or have that AILA link displayed more prominently on the IV site as an action item)

Hi
I came to us on H4 in 2007 and the got my H1B in 2008. I am not getting a job on H1 yet so i want to know that till when the H1B be valid as I am not genarating any salery and my consultant is not running my pay roll ?
And if the H1 goes dorment then what can be done next?
H1 would be valid/active the moment you accept employment with H1-B sponsoring employer.
Since you haven't started working and assuming you haven't accepted the offer from the
H1 sponsoring employer, YOU should be fine.
Please take advise from your company attorney.

I selected following options for infopass appointment.
You need Service on a case that has already been filed -->Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.
And I carried Receipts for 485,765 and 131 for myself and my wife (of course photo ID).
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
Congrats Parag. You got it finally. Am still waiting.
Do you know which option you selected when you had scheduled the infopass? Also, what documents did you carry at the infopass?
Thanks for the update again.

No one has to do a vote on scrapping CIR. The absence of any activity towards appointing a conference committee and scheduling a conference committee to reconcile differences between House immigration reform bill(HR 4437) and Senate immigration reform bill (S 2611) would cause both bills to stay as-is in house and senate respectively without making any progress towards becoming a law.
No one has to formalize this. Not working on it is good enough to kill reform. I dont think anyone is going to come out and say "CIR is dead". However, if house and senate leadership indicate that "we need more time to read Senate's bill", or we need more time to understand and "Hold hearings" etc, its evident that they want to throw roadblocks and postpone it. Which is the same as pushing the bill to its grave.

Compare this stupid, never ending GC process with the Canadian one. Back in 1996, I got my Canadian residency in 5 months when I applied from India. Within 3 yrs i.e. by 1999, I got my Canadian citizenship. I know Canadian GC process takes more time now but it is quite straigtht forward and you can self sponsor.
I had applied for labor in 2002, got approved in 2003 but couldn't file 140 as the employer went out of business. Reapplied through new employer in 2003 and am stuck in PBEC ever since. The time span/ requirements to get card in hand is so long/complex that many things can go wrong on the way...e.g. layoff/ employer bankrupt etc. etc.
I wish someone can understand our sufferings/ pain.
I agree with MChundi here. I have been in this process since 2002 and have worked closely with my lawyers but it never ceases to amaze me how much complexity is built into the GC system. Putting the ads, applying for labor, aplying for I-140 answering any throwbacks from DOL/UCSIS. TO add to that the goof ups by the immigration lawyers and their para-legals certainly confuses the hell out of u.
Most ppl who apply for GCs are unaware about retrogression and PBEC problems at the onset. Even if they are aware u think, "well, my labour will take abt a year or so so by then hopefully things will become current". I mean not a lot of us, have the time or the foresight to plan THAT much in advance.
Now if we as H1s dont know the deal here, H4's CERTAINLY dont know the deal and it takes them a LOT more time to grasp the reality of things coz they have to absorb many other things like learning how to drive here, learning how the credit system works here etc etc etc.
All that being said, i would ask the H4's to try and avoid pointing blame at the IV members. This is not an easy process for sure. We are in NO position to demand anything from the US Govt. Whatever progress we have made is also quite phenomenal. I Still cant believe we collected even $100,000+ !! Right now the best strategy is to solve the primary applicant's problems and try and get the dependents problems go away along with that.

Well...I came in 2000 as a student...infact I had more stress in US ...never worked so hard..worrying about everything ...so i would put that I had a good time in india only...as I never imagined that I will be doing hi-tech bonded slavery..play to your mgr/employer's whims ...
Going to india atleast every 2 years, I see lot of potential and oppurtunities for business...tatas, mittal, infosys are buying companies in US so money is in asia now so you see all US companies flocking to tap Asian mkt. Having said this, I think I am looking back to go to india after couple more years of stay.
Cheer up as wherever you are, you make your surrounding good....
At the end, all bogs down to how happy you are !..:cool:
contributions $500
Been in the US since 1998, have an EB-2 PD of 2001, have played by the rules all along. Still no GC... And, the dates are going back to 2000 from the new year.. I've lost hopes...
I'm pretty close to getting clinical depression because of this game played by USCIS, Labor Dept, FBI and my own bad luck.
SKILL bill, OMNIBUS, etc. comes and goes. IV does seem to be doing things to lobby for the community, but let's face one reality. Like a news article said, no one in congress or senate wants to touch immigration even with a long pole until 2009.
The US has been very good to me (other than the GC part), more than my home country (India) which is why I'm still here.
Have invested too much of time in this country to just pack up and go. Just curious if any of you feel this way? How do you handle such depressing feelings?

Illegal non-immigrants did the rally to local USCIS offices. It would be good if we pick one day in 2nd week of July and have a rally to local USCIS offices. This will immediately catch the media attention.
Rally news should be spread out to media so we can get enough coverage?
Let's discuss if you guys like this idea.

I applied 485 on July2nd 2007, we never got the FP notice, I called up the USCIS inquiry number, opened two service requests, nothing happened. My lawyer sent a letter asking USCIS to look at our case, that was ignored as well. We finally got an Infopass appointment and went to the office today, after a little bit of confusion, we were told that the most likely cause was that we sent pictures along with our EAD applications and that confused CIS procedures and they missed sending us FP notices.
Cant believe this crappy explanation, but this is what we were told. We were told that usually they call people in for FP and take the pictures and then process the EADs. Anyway, it took all of ten minutes to figure this out and issue us an FP notice, there is no reason they couldnt have done this over the phone...
Good thing though is that not having the FP done does not stop then from processing the Name check and infact my wife's name check has been completed..
Hope that helps...

What pisses me off is that there are 220,000 visa numbers every year for family based GCs while skilled immigrants get only 140,000. Nothing wrong with immigrants wanting to bring immediate family members but this is causing nothing but chain migration. I think USA give more GCs to cab drivers than skilled immigrants.

looivy, Please have a conversation and don't turn this into a pissing contest.
What the other post said is very true. We have 45000 members in this board, a significant majority of them are EB3. Even if 50% of the members 22000 (as an example ) contributed 25$ each, IV would have more than half a million bucks. With this money EB backlog plight could easily come out in mainstream media. Just because you, as a person, contributed does not mean all of EB people are contributing. Realizing our problem is the first step in solving it. Problem is people are not willing to contribute to IV, either their money or time, but want issues solved. Doesn't work that way..
Again the original poster is correct in his statement.
my .02$
Correct me If I am wrong
out of 45K members let's assume 22.5 K are EB2 and 22.5 K are EB3.
Even If 11.25K (EB2)+11.25K (EB3) = 22.5 K (Total) contributes $25 Each Problems gets solved ... but the catch is ....
Even 11.25 K EB2 members are not contributing because they don't have to as their problem is solved
Even 11.25 K EB3 members are not contributing because they are not sure even with this contribution their problems gets solved.
Many people are saying that EB3 members are not contributing that's why you are lagging etc...
EB3 Members who contributed are feeling the pain because even after contribution they are not getting the results and EB2 members who didn't contributed are getting the results...
