When u already tolerate so much with US visa system , cant you take some more rudeness from our fellow contrymen?! Kidding.
I had similar experience at indian consulate!!
In fact a fellow indian wearing a turban tried to get into the consulate just before the consulate officially opens. The person inside (not the security) threatened him that he/she will call security and through him out!. Thats their attitude... They (at least think) belong to ruling class of india, so they behave like that?!

Hi Libra,
Your post is good overall, However I dont think you know how stuff works. I dont think you have any clue how people got stuck in BEC.
You said ".. 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.." for you information, in almost all cases, BEC cases are not even worked. In your example 2004 cases are not even worked on and 2005 cases are approved.
So the cases in BEC are not even worked on, hope you understand that there is nothing wring with the applications of people got stuck in BEC and that not the reason why they are in BEC.

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.
are you asking for access to threads based on the motto? Now that is like the beggars feeling entitled to others money, or illegals felling entitled to citizenship.
Lose the feeling of entitlement - its only going to make you look like a loser.
I did like the idea of "earned" access to forums. So if someone has sent "X" no. of faxes through IV or contributed by actively and noticeably and is recommended by "X" no. of people they should have access to paid forums for a defined timespan (eg. earn 1 months access by sending faxes) Letters are not really verifiable so not adding this here. Going the earned path would not alienate many members who may not have contributed recently - but nevertheless are still contributing otherwise. People who have contributed in the past can be retroactively given access for a month for every $25 they've contributed.

WD, good idea...
bring all the material and pointers to kick off the meeting. We clearly see you as our technical leader. Formalities will be quick at the meeting so that we can recognize a few people as leaders, who can communicate with IV leaders and keep working on local plans...
People please share your experience, and thoughts about how you want to approach the local task....
confirm your place at the meeting....
we have 4 people posting here in thread... that wont do.... meetings are once in a while things... we need constant participation from others here on IV.... this place is the center point for us. If you are busy, mark down your cellphone calendar for a daily time when you can visit IV and michigan chapter thread to keep yourself and others updated....

Very innovative thought!
But car rallies may not have as much impact as personal rallies! Car rallies will hold up holiday goers and this might not be pleasent..
Besides a peacful rally will bring up the opportunity to meet other forum members and share some thoughts and this would generate enthusiasm and positive energy!!
Just views..

Last few lines of this artice is clear about Senate mood. Even IV wants to lobby sepeately for gc numbers IV has to come up with reasonable numbers based on requirement. Arbitary numbers or blanket exemptions will have more chance for failure.
But unless they can prove that they system is not currently being abused, and unless they can come up with specific figures for the number of visas required, they will have a hard time persuading lawmakers that the cap needs to be raised beyond the current proposal of 115,000.
http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2007/05/21/outsourcing-immigration-congress-oped-cx_bw_0523legislate.html
What you are saying is a high level picture of what the lawmakers think.
Instead of asking reasonable numbers asking for no cap.
True that the tech companies are not comming up with a cap because they believe by saying this, they might be restricted for many years to bring in extra people if they have an opening.
Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
How did the anti-immigrants get a upper hand on this. They are allowing illegals to get an easy path to citizenship.. this will cause a huge influx of people who will benefit the economy but down the line their children will take up the jobs of the americans.. so why a benefit to illegals.
Now you would say that there are so many companies lobbying for the illegals,
true but why don't they listen to the tech lobbyist who are few in number but asking what is actually,legally, abide rulles ly necessary to increase the economy.

If I am offending anyone who tries to predict on visa bulleting cut-off days, I am sorry for doing so in advance. The agencies involved in this process themselves are out of clue and it is clearly pointed out by ombudsmen himself. I am still puzzled how they derive the cut-off days every month without such statistics? In the past there were numerous statistics regarding the cut-off date prediction and not even came close to what is getting published. This is one department who defy any logic in determining the cut-off dates. I think it is mere waste of time and energy in trying to do so at our end based on my past experience.
Thanks

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
It's not just India that won freedom either, don't forget USA!
Although I do admire Gandhi's approach more.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
If Britain still ruled India, I'd probably be marching with you in India!
What would rather you tell your children, "I sat at home and read the forums", or "I marched in the streets".

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.

Gautamagg (Gautam Aggrwal) is Columban. Columban is praising Gautamagg but they are both the same person : Gautam Aggarwal.
Gautam: If you have difference with Immigration Voice's position in opposing the merits based system that gives 21 points being illegal and 20 points for having MBA or MD, then you are entitled to have that opinion, but dont peddle your agenda on this site and find another website or forum to advocate in favor of merits based points system.
Merits based point system awards supplemental points for illegals. Being illegal is not an accomplishment. Having an MBA or MD is. The two cannot be awarded merits on the same scale.
Merits based point system works well in countries that dont have annual caps. Like Canada. Their objective in Canada is to fill the country with younger working population in order to balance to demograph that is headed to an aging population. USA is not like that and having points system in conjunction with numerical caps will cause greencard to go to paper-tiger resumes that have lots of points but not employable. There are millions of Ph.Ds in Science in India and China and they would not be employable here but would get GCs. Just like Canada, we would have greencard holders with Ph.Ds and MBBS driving cabs. Employability has nothing to do with papers that prove how many years you spend on colleges accumalating degrees.
A bachelor's degree from Harvard and a Bachelor's degree from Rutgers would get same points : 16 points. Is that really a measure of merits?
But again, if you feel that point system is great, issue press release on your own and peddle your agenda on your own but dont use this site to peddle that agenda. You are free to discuss with other members but dont issue press release and dont speak to the media on behalf of IV. Speak to the media as an individual.
Also, if you feel that IV is run by non-US educated consultants and the US educated employees are not represented or served by Immigration Voice, then please start your own organization to represent them and I will be happy to point the dissatisfied US educated members in your direction. For once, I would love to share the burden with others and if we have 2 organizations instead of one, atleast we can share the work load. So please, do start your website, your organization, your advocacy etc and take away members from us who are dissatisfied with IV and who feel that US educated folks need more representation and your organization could potentially provide that.
The position of immigration voice on points system is very clear and it will stay that way.
Besides the points system, you should look at other aspects of the bill. Being US educated from top University, I am sure you will have no trouble in interpreting title 4 and title 5 of the bill. They are striking down AC21 provisions that provide extensions of H1 after 6 years based on pending labor for 1 one year or pending 140. And they are replacing it with pending immigration petition for 1 year as requirement for H1 extension. What that means is that there will be extensions granted to only those who have filed for 140 before May 21. After that, the 140s filed or approved would be invalid and they would have to wait for points system. And points system doesnt kick in until Oct 1 2008. So during the 1 year blackout period, between the President signing the bill and Oct 1 2008, there will be no immigration petitions filed. Old system will stop accepting 140 and new system (your favorite merits system) wont kick until Oct 2008. Combine that with removal of AC21 provisions for extensions of H1. There are tens of thousands who will be unable to extend their H1. These are the folks who are either in backlog centers or who have filed PERM but not filed 140 as of May 21 2007. Can you imagine the catastrophe? Go thru title 4 and title 5 and see the sections of INA it is amending.

I called USCIS and she said based on the information she got from his authorities, she said all the 485 application packets will be rejected with a note saying that , please apply after oct 1st if your PD is current.
I also asked her if you dont send us back by oct 1st what sould we do, she said if I dont receive by August mid, then take infopass and go to local uscis office and request for my application back.
I think all the customer service agents are aware of the issue and got informed what to answer for our questions.
