We absolutely must make all forums accseible to registered members only and,
- Non paying members will see a pop-up screen reminding them that they must contribute.
- Pop ups reappear every so many minutes to discourgae (or encourage) non paying idle members
- Maintaining registarion requires logging in every x days
I enforce upon me a rule that every time I open my mouth here, I will contribute 20$ beginign with this mail.
Hypersphere: Although your rule is admirable, please consider an exception and feel free to post any information that have that you feel is important for IV members to know. Even being diligent about informing IV about any information that you may have which may impact the end result is as good as $20 (perhaps more :)) of your money.

U.S. is a country where most of things are close to being perfect imaginatively),
FYI: I am a Indian and haven't even started my greencard process, for the same emotional reasons you mentioned, intending to R2I soon. Given a choice and circumstances, I would have opted for U.S.C as "I have no hope for this world neither do I wish for it" - quoting Bhagawan Krishna from Bhagavad Gita.
This is a just prospective as you view it. The prospective also can change with time like so called material perfections in USA.
There is verse a in Bhagavad Gita for it.
paras tasmāt tu bhāvonyovyaktovyaktāt sanātanaḥ
yaḥ sa sarveṣu bhūteṣu naśyatsu na vinaśyati (8.20)
avyaktokṣara ity uktas tam āhuḥ paramāṃ gatim
yaṃ prāpya na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṃ mama (8:21)

Below is the text for Waivers.. My understanding is that if end Client gives a letter to DOL stating that they don't layoffs due to this H1B and it is a temp. labor requirement etc.. It is still harsh considering anti-immigration climate.. What is feared asked in a Visa interview will be asked by DOL for extensions. So, H1B can't be on an auto-pilot mode..
``(I) the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed has not displaced, and does not intend to displace, a United States worker employed by the employer within the period beginning 180 days before and ending 180 days after the date of the placement of the nonimmigrant with the employer;
``(II) the H-1B nonimmigrant will not be controlled and supervised principally by the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant would be placed; and
``(III) the placement of the H-1B nonimmigrant is not essentially an arrangement to provide labor for hire for the employer with whom the H-1B nonimmigrant will be placed.

I appeared for an interview on Jan 2nd. It took the consulate officers 16 days to call me and ask for original documents again. Darn PIMS verification! I resubmitted the documents on Jan 22nd through the drop box... and have been calling them daily to track the progress. They say they need 7 working days from the day the documents are received. I have already had to reschedule the flights once..and my employer is getting worried now. If I had known about the delays at Chennai post before, I wont have applied here. Chennai sux!!!

i dont understand......why did you choose to go through this hell??
can you please explain??........i thought france is a developed country with almost same opportunities as USA??
if someone from somalia.....goes through this ordeal its understandable.....
People choose to come here for plenty of different reasons: professional, economical, family or a combination of everything.
Yes, France is a developed and rich country and, if I had stayed there, I would certainly be today in a much better situation, professionaly and financially!
So, I certainly did not come here for the $$. It is extremely simple: it was just my childhood dream to live here and I am proud today that I made it.
Yes, I had to go through that ordeal and I did not "choose" to do it, it just happened. I was just stuck in that infernal situation.
Would I do it again, even to fulfill my dream? Certainly not, I am not that mad. Will it prove worth it eventually? I don't know yet.
The truth of the matter is: how do you know in advance what lies ahead?
If we always knew, life would be too easy, don't you think so?
Nobody would make mistakes or wrong choices.
So, was I right or wrong to go through all this? Well, again, I don't know.
Time will tell...

Labor subst is not the real problem; atleast it looks like a small problem now compared to the other one - people jumping from EB3 to EB2 with PD intact. I don't know if this is possible. But if possible, expect HUGE retrogression for EB2 india. I suspect it'll go back to sometime in 2001 - and stay there forever. Indians with PD 2003 or later, even EB2, can kiss their greencard dreams goodbye.

I think each person can write their own story and here are a few writing points as appropriate.
1) How long you have been here, and how despite your contributions in work and taxes, creativity(of jobs?) and maintainineg legal status, you have been left in a difficult spot of no permanency of status.
2) How you have benefited from this country and would like to give back, and understood that to be the tradition on which america was built.
3) If you have US born Children. That it would be unjust to ask them to be brought up elsewhere.
4) That your entrepreneural ideas have been held back by your inability to have permanency of tenure here.
5) That you never understood that to be the way it is done in America. However, a little voice keeps telling you to never quit on America, as she eventually gets it right.
6) That you have been unable to buy a home due to this issue and wonder why it is that you can't help yourself while helping America. That you have a stable job, 20% down, excellent credit and the whole nine yards except the green card. That there are thousands like you waiting to jump in.
7) How the US gov't bureaucracy has "wasted" over half a million green cards already allocated annually by congress, all happened while there were years long queues and merely recapturing those visas has been blocked by gridlock.
8) Mention Immigrationvoice in your e mail, and state that we have some great ideas on how to make the EB system more efficient and would love to be engaged in improving the system.

Anand's post
Ok, if advertising is too far-fetched, then hold some cultural events and make money on those. Brainstorm with members to find other ways to make money. People are not going to contribute. That is the writing on the wall. There is lack of trust and lack of faith in IV. IV will have to figure out ways to generate cash from other things than member contributions. If I remember correctly, people contributed nearly $200K and have got nothing to show for that.
Attack my ideas and not me. Then we can have a debate conducive to achieving our goals.
Good man, true... people who have contributed and have not seen any results. I was searching for Logiclifes post where he mentioned
"It is time that IV shows some results", I will search and put it on my another post.
Anai mentions about Gandhi giri. He/she claims fighting for GC is the same as Independence.
"Waik up". You can't go on the streets and say this is our right (get GC) and fight for it. India was and is our country that is why we did it.
People will curse me now, would say why I am still hear if I am against.
I am against the policy, the strategy being used. IV said asking for 90000 unused visa numbers will add more controversy and It will be difficult to pass in the approp bill.
Lot of members did not agree, we went for I-485 because IV mentioned
this is the only thing that can be pushed easily.
Now when they see a chance to push for Schedule A worker visa increase, we start pushhing for visa numbers.(1-485 gone now)
Think for a while that there might be so many organizations supporting illegal immigrants that has plenty of money and are unable to pass anything.
They protested on the streets..president pushed for a reform and what happened. Most lawmakers do not have any Idea about legal issues,
so these law makers can and will only attach our reforms to the comprehensive bill.
Why can't people think in a broader prespective.
So why we bother now and say we are pushing for this ... that ... and when we could not get any results we hear from IV that the text of the bill is decided way in advanced.
Anand's post -- True
These suggestions are because you think money is the issue. I don't think it is. It's the lack of good leadership.
When leaders change their stand often then it is a problem

Hi Sri - I am not moderator - but a member like you. This thread has been hardwired so it remains on top of all posts.
IV is all of us and no need to wait from moderator for approval. If you think that a moderator or an administrator stamp is necessary, pappu can post a message on this if it helps.
IV is us all and members MUST drive campaigns. Thats how IV has always been and survived because of members taking causes
Chandu,
Great. I am with you. I didnt mean to have their stamp. I only meant the thread be on the top and thought only moderators or admins can do it. I didnt know if this thread was hardwired, which is exactly what I wanted. This has to be on the top.
Thanks,
Sri,
Please keep writing, non stop.
