that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.
.
I am not saying that you sent me personal request to donate, go through this website and you will see what I am talking abt.
that sounds like july second fiasco reversal from USCIS was affected by IV... I dont believe so.
I would not try to get the ocean level up by throwing pennies into it.

This is the most stupid thing i ever heard. sorry if i offended you by saying this, but i myself wish you should be first in the line than me. We(most of us whose pd is later than yours and most of you guys) wish sincerely that you people should get GC before we get. No one opposing your cause, but we are asking to think one more time whether you'll get any benifit from this. IF YOU THINK "YES" PLEASE GO AHEAD, but dont curse or use any kind of bad words, not appreciated.
Very few members of IV are stucked at backlog, so what i suggest is talk to core personally about your cases, ask them to help you guys in finding out what happened to your cases, if a person with pd 2005 got approved and 2004 is stuck means there might be some problem with the case filing, if not yours, your attorney might have done some mistake or so. so i personally think you should talk to core and find a way to solve this problem.
Although, some people may call it SELFISH AGENDA and advice not to use IV platform, I strongly support the cause. Some people may advice that once the labor is cleared, people with 2001/2002/2003... PDs will be at the front of the line. But, when those old labors are cleared, will they be able to apply for I485? DOL may say that by September 30 the backlog will be cleared. Is there any gurantee? Even all are cleared, they will not be able to apply for 485 now (has to apply by August 17). I think some SELFISH people with recent PDs are scared as people with older PDs may take the quota.
Regarding IV platform, it is an organization for the GC sufferers and by the GC sufferers. So this is of course the right place. If IV is busy with other issues, then people have to start their own fighting.
I am neither sure about the legal complications nor have any idea about the legal fees (or who will pay it) etc. Better consult attorneys about the viability of the case.
BTW, my labor is not in BEC and I have already contributed $500 to IV.

Sure there may still be 2002 files waiting but it is definately not a GREAT number. Here are three logical bullets to conslude that.
- Many people with 2000/1/2 dates have already left USA - Tired: Could not
take the delay:Found good oppertunity back home or elsewhere
- Black labor market played a part to shift a considerable load either to EB2 or
PD date from 1999/2000 and thus many people preferred that path either
stuck in EB2 or have already got their GC
The only thing we can be unsure about stuck in NC with those early PDs.
Having said this, it is ofcourse impossible to predict perfect chain of future flow, I see hope for EB3-I in this year, particularly last quarter at least for the people having 2004-Mid and before PDs.
I very much appreciate your analysis. But I dont understand why EB3 does not even move to 2002 and stuck in 2001 for so long!!
I know many people swiched to EB2 during 2003-2004. But then someone pointed out indian companies bring people here - L1 also filed under EB3. What about those cases?

This is something a texas IV aspiring member has to go through. I am sure Amma was the participant of one of the successful lawmaker meetings. There is something wrong here when IV is so harsh on a contributing member like Amma.
Lets be fair here. RSVPing and not showing up is rude & unprofessional, and unbecoming of so called 'high skilled immigrants'. Its besides the point that the concerned members are contributing. Not to pick on any one member, but you can always call up to let the organizer know that you have a last minute conflict come up and will not be able to make it.
Its about common courtesy & decency :cool:

I think that going back to your home country ONLY because you feel overwhelmed by the delays in GC processing/retrogerssion (assuming you are quite content in your job and standard of living) is not a good idea. Especially true in the event that you and your family experience difficulties in adjusting professionally and socially after returning back. Chances are you might soon get a feeling of having taken a wrong decision in the heat of the moment, especially if the guys who stay back and ride this retrogression storm see some relief while you are still trying to adjust to the changed environment of your home country. You may even get tempted to come back and give the GC thing another shot but then you have to start at square one again.
Going back to home country only because of the shortcomings of GC process is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues. I belive a decision to renounce something should only come from a position of strength. A true jogi is one who understands the triviality of society and decides to rise above it...not the one who denouces it because he can't deal with it.
As the saying goes..its darkest before the dawn...I truely hope this is the case for all of us here...
We all know its not an easy 1-2-3 to happen in a jiffy for something to be debated in the Capitol hill...signed by the President..and becoming a law, against all odds of gas hikes,natural disasters,anti immigration...Immigration stands on a scale of 1 to 10,maybe number 9 or 10.

The most important part of rally is the lawmaker meeting because they decide to bring up the bills and then vote on them.
There are 635 lawmakers: 100 senators + 535 house members. It would be great if we could set up at least 1 meeting with every lawmaker and more meetings with immigration sub committee members.
example 1 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170156&postcount=4457) and example 2 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170176&postcount=4458)

Thank you for contacting me to share your suggestions and thoughts on immigration reform. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
It is tremendously helpful for me to hear suggestions from constituents about how Congress can act to improve this country's immigration policy and I will be certain to keep your concerns in mind. Moreover, any comprehensive change to our immigration system should only be considered after a complete analysis of the full consequences.
Once again, thank you for your letter. I value your opinion and hope that you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas with me. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
sorry but this is ridiculous. If the US has a skill shortage and wants foreign workers, it should ensure that the foreign worker and his/her family are given the same rights that a domestic workers family enjoys.
If they can't give that right, why do they want to invite the foreign worker at all?
Its true that they are not forcing this on us and we are free to go back anytime. But still isn't the inequality pretty clear here? and this country is supposed to be all about equality...

No doubt if you have the time, money and opportunity and if you plan to do your masters or your second masters at some point in future, then right now is the time to do it while you are waiting for your GC.
However, you have to be luck to be able to do that as a way to spend the retrogression years constructively.
1. You should have the money to study and maintain yourself/family.
2. Need to have school of decent choice where you live.
3. Need to have a job at same location. Consultants cant have that as they move around from one project to another. You cant change colleges and transfer credits every 6 months as you move from one project to another. Same goes for consultants who are travelling all the time. They cannot do this unless to quit and go fulltime, in which case, the spouse would have to start working to pay the bills and put food on the table.
And what about people who DONT want to do MBA/MS and just want to change employers?
So while a good option, it applies to very few people. If you are one of those few guys, then by all means, go for it.

Indebted to our employers for anything or in any form. We work and get paid for it - it's an even exchange, imo.
How long will it take them to lay you off tomorrow morning (or Monday morning or on X'mas/Diwali eve for that matter) if they didn't need you?
And vacation time, if part of the employment package, is a legal obligation of the employer - you can hold their feet to the fire for that and if you end up not taking any vacation you are entitled to compensation for the extra time worked when you leave.
These are the lines of thought that should prompt one to join IV and be involved with it .

Having time off with my boss is traumatic to say the least. I am entitled to seven weeks vacation a year and barely get three most of the time. Even when I am off I get phone calls and have to leave contact numbers, that includes when I am with my parents in England.
Can you imagine asking for two days off to go to an immigration rally that just reminds him that I will be out of his employment jail some time in the not too distant future I hope.
My green card process is in its sixth year. Look forward to shaking off my shackles and moving on with life. Glad to say my husband now has an EAD so at least he is free to work and join the human race again.
I am sure many people are in this sort of situation since we are indebted to our employers which is one of the things we would like to change.
