You don't contribute for FOIA. You don't want to accept that FOIA will help us. Thats your decision. IV does a lot things both in public and behind the scenes. All of this require money and time. You haven't contributed in past either. You come to IV and write post like these to make yourself feel better thinking you are doing something for your GC process. Fact is you are not helpful yourself. IV is nothing but people like you and me who are in the line for GC.
For a new action I would like you to lead it. You should meet your local law makers. Tell your personal story about the GC struggle. Ask them to bring up recapture and other bills which will help us. Then work with other people on the IV forum as well as in real world to do same.
I thought IV core is supposed to come out with action items (or lead - all they need to do is come out with an action thread and people will follow).
if people were to follow all calls from ordinary members then 2 things would have happened ..one IV would have been more dynamic (Since everyone is calling for action items) and people would be running in all directions.
this is probably my last post ..what is frustrating is that whenever anyone asks genuine questions ..people just jump and attack.
as for lobbying ...the maths is simple ..if IV is collecting around 10k (or less) every month ..then it will take 5 plus years to collect the money for any sensible lobbying ...

gcinnyc,
Thanks for your input, its helpful and what we want. The letter is going to be from us so we can definitely have it reviewed.
Feel free to take a stab at the letter, again, this is not an individual letter, so the more people contribute the better it is (Meanwhile, avoiding too many cooks :D)

What is? Working on the July submitted apps ahead of the ones already in the queue?
They wont work on it, they just accept it. FIFO (First in- First out) Priority date is always going to be the order. So, Camarasa, your older priority date will be processed before EVERYBODY Else w/ latter Priority. Dont worry.

I understand that. However, apart from canvassing the support for CIR by writing to senators, lawmakers, in what capacity can IV influence USCIS to take up EB-3 cause?
Even if IV has intentions to ameliorate our pain, is it truly capable to influence the agency to do something for only one specific category ? At a micro-level, we EB-3 need to do something about changing our situation ourselves, lest we stand in the filthy excreta for eons. :mad:
I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.

I highly doubt any one with a full time job will trade enough volume for it to be cost effective to claim trader status when filing taxes. If you trade for a living,not work as a trader then it makes absolute sense to file as a trader.
What is the advantage of claiming trader status on your tax return? I buy / sell shares on different days of the week (example: Buy on Monday, Sell on Friday). Does that make me a day trader?
I am doing this on H1B. I do have approved EAD.

Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

Yes and until we know what we are lobbying for, why would we part with money? Here is the about IV page - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16034 - and it talks about two or three things that IV has done in the past. What is giving money to IV going to do for us in the future? Like they say for stocks. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Which bills does IV support? What kind of legislation are they lobbying for? I support the cause of IV because I'm facing all the problems that IV is trying to solve.
Microsoft spent millions to get H1B increase. It did not happen till now. So should they stop investing in lobbying?
Last year there ere 3 bills for us brought by IV lobbying-- Recapture, Country Limits and Exemption of people with Masters in Science.
Just because the bill failed and you or Zen did not get your greencard does not mean IV did not do anything meaningful campaign? You are with IV since 2007, did you do anything for these bill action items last year? How much did you contribute? Did you work on the IV campagn to add cosponsors and get the bill for vote? If I knew, I would have done it.
I came new to IV but I spent time going into old forum threads by searching and came to know about it.
I will blame you for not getting me my green card till now. You are here since 2007 and did not do anything to help me and others get my green card.

Are you racist and believe that people of south asian descent are not skilled enough and hence do not deserve to even be on this forum, let alone engage dreams of an American citizenship?
you probably think you are the best and most skilled since you are from Dominican republic, and perhaps will not have to wait for a GC or even citizenship all that long. Look around, open your eyes, there are people from India/China who have been on this rollercoaster since 2001, and deserve a citizenship.
Stop this hatred of Asians or is it Indians??

I didn't miss a zero. USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year. They can give 521,000. Which means they have extra 65,000 per year. So to clear 600,000 at the rate of 65,000 per year is about 9.2 years.
This is not a discussion for this, but your argument is not clear. If USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year, and they can clear $521,000 per year (more than what they get), where is the question of 10 year wait? New applications don't get cleared first, they are put at the back (of course with a lot of inefficiency, and irregualrities). Wait is due to uneven distribution of apps/countries.

Labor filed in Aug 2002, approved after 6 years in June 2007. Meanwhile, our son aged out in June 2004. Daughter turned 21 today, and her I-485 adjustment application is in the July 2 logjam.
The DREAM Act can be a solution for our son, but some of the versions were made applicable to only illegal immigrants. We have to be careful to read the details whenever the next version makes its headway in the Congress.

Wow! it sure varies by a lot..I just spent $190 for the same
It varies depending on the physician. I paid $475 for everything blood work to test immunizations + TB test + Physical exam. This is for one person.
Same physician, my friend went with all medical records and she charged only $250 for doing physical and TB test.
I got the report with in 3 days. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,
My daughter's pp expired March '06. We live in FL, so we need to apply to the Houston center.
So do we (a) apply for a new passport? or is it still 'renewal'?
(b) send renewal fees? how much - is it the same for an adult pp?
Believe me, I have searched all over, up-and-down, for any info on this specific situation (child pp, expired more than one year) but in vain :(.
Thanks,
Radha

Great initiative and kudos to NolaIndian for making it happen!
I love to go for long walks, so count me in for that part! Not sure if I can commit myself to the SF event... need some more time to make up my mind on this one!
Thanks for your support Abhijitp. And thanks for joining Team IV, if you haven't already, please send us an e-mail at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that I can e-mail you the Membership Form.
As far as your concern about being able to do a 5K walk, i can assure you that if you are already able to go for long walks, a 5K will be right up your alley. The 5K is 16 weeks away and with our friends from Runner's World Online, you can actually train to run or walk a 5K within 6 to 8 weeks. So this is completely do-able. A 5K walk is only 45 mins.
When I was a kid in India, some evenings, I could not get a BST Bus to get home from school, so I used to walk from Matunga Circle in Bombay all the way home in Chembur. I was 12 years old and and it took me less than 2 hours. :)
Please PM me your e-mail address or e-mail me at TeamIV@yahoo.com.
Thanks,

Well it is worse than you thought.
People who haven't even started their green card process yet can buy a labor from any bodyshop, use it to file their 140 and 485 concurrently and get a foothold in the great american GC mela. Howzaat.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

Alright buddy, The only loan I've is few hundred dollars on my credit card which I pay every month though! Car is paid and no home! Sorry, no money from me to you! You have to find another person! I can buy you a cup of coffee though so that you can relax a bit!
Dude, now again you are taking it personal.:) Just because I replied to your post, you think everything was directed at you. Do you seriously think I have anything against you? That other guy masternyc is mentally retarded, not you.
But I do respect if any non GC holder go and buy a home.
I agree with your point about defaulters. But take your argument elsewhere.
In California, a musician who claimed 100K income/year was asked to stand in front of his home with his musical instrument and photographed. That photograph went into Washington Mutual's file as income proof.
I have heard this argument zillion times. So you are saying the musician should be bailed out, right? Dude, such musicians need to do 10 years of time! Instead, they are just declaring bankruptcy and walking away with a spoiled credit. And you seriously think they won't get loans in future? Sure they will. Loan interest is basically what a consumer bank profits on.
If you think, the housing crisis is because of defaulters, you are partially wrong! Prices went very high and people couldnt buy and that is the reason home prices went down. Since it went down, loans backed up by those very assets lost value. And people defaulted because what they owe was higher than the value of home!
You are really delusional if you think non GC home-owners are to be blamed for this mess!
No, you are partially wrong! Prices didn't come down because people couldn't buy. They crashed because of the huge number of foreclosures. Otherwise, you would have seen them stagnated for a while and then starting climbing down.
Did I ever say non-GC home owners are responsible for this mess? Now, you are drawing your own conclusions and attributing something to me which I never said :D.
All I am saying is folks who are forced to return to their home country should clear off their dues. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. I have seen a friend who wanted to run away leaving his car behind in the mall in 2001. I advised him against it despite he saying I'm not coming back, not coming back. Finally he did the right thing, returned with $0.0 and he did come back in a year. People always come back, especially when they are forced to return against their wishes.Not clearing off your dues is absolutely criminal. And there is huge, huge difference between $20k car and $700-800k house in SF Bay area.
Finally, I think you are also partially right - even today the banks don't have proper checks for mortgages. The rate is down upto to 4.5% and there is not much change in the policy. All that 20% down thing will never happen in anytime in near future! There are just no takers!!
You really need a good tax refund from the government! File your taxes soon!
Another assumption. I always underpay my taxes and give thousands and thousands back to the govt at the year end. California tax board is bankrupt and most likely going to issue promissary notes, if you haven't heard. I don't trust this bankrupt governments.

Anything with the legislative effort aka unused visa recapture will not happen in this political environment.
My only question to the EB3I is,
Do you want to wait until the visa recapture, when ever it happens or will it ever?. More-over this has been taken up by many people in this forum and fizzled. To add more, do you know what will happen when un-used visas are recaptured ? Will it benefit EB3I or will it be given to EB2 just like the spill over. Would you do something right now to atleast get some short term relief to EB3I ?
I am here in this thread to understand what we can do for EB3I immediately. I presented an option when somebody asked in this thread. If you want to take it or leave it, its up to you to decide.
