Information we want to publicize, and information that we should keep restricted to members.

That is already happening in state chapters. In my opinion IV still has a need to remain "grass root" organization. And as long as that is needed, "Recurring Contribution" would be more attractive tool. Once we set "Paid membership" concept it will instituionalize and in my opinion at this early stage it is not
advisable.

Now that USCIS / DOS know that they have made mistake and also aware that this is exposed to the entire country. So this is what they are doing.
1. Keep all the applications pending so that AILF could not start the lawsuit. ALIF needs rejection proof.
2. Updated their site stating the receipt notice will be sent after Aug 1st, So everyone keeps quiet till this date.
3. I beleive, the Judge will rule out by July 29 saying that itis fault of DOS / USCIS and say they have to accept all the applications which are filed in July leaving the applicants only two days to file.
4. No one can argue that all the ELIGIBLE applicants should be allowed to file. The reason is NOT all the eligible applicants filed in June. Also if you feel that you are eligible for July, then you should have prepared all your application papers ready by July 29. If you cannot file, you are out.
I feel, this is what is going to happen. So better prepare your papers and keep it ready.
As per our lawyers, right now USCIS is in the process of entering our applications in their system (for date of receipt and such). There was a memo from USCIS saying that they will be done with the job of data entry by August 1.
From August 1, we can expect either rejection or acceptance of the actual application. The hope is that a court/congressional intervention before August 1 will change the USCIS action of rejection into acceptance.

We should update the question in the poll and make it specific only for people who live in and around of bay area, else the 'no I cannot attend' will be from all IV members who have no way to attend since they dont live in the bay area.

jnraajan,
Allow me to respond to your message. But before I do that, will request you to please remove the advertisement to your website - which in my opinion is divisive. IV is not just for Indians or for people from any one country/geographical location. Hope you would agree and do the necessary at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
I completely disagree with your message here. You dont even know what the personal reason for not participating in a state chapter is. I, for one, am unable to join a state chapter, because , the nearest chapter is 400 miles and 2 states away. What good would it do to me to join something that I can never be part of. I wanted to start a state chapter here in my place, but I couldnt find any useful resources on how to do it. May be eb3_nepa has some reasons like it.
Like you said, IV is not a top-down organization, which means everyone is responsible for everyone. I dont see anything wrong with eb3_nepa's questions. He wanted to know what is going on. I am sure there are lots of people around here who has the same questions.
The Admin Fixes letter campaign was a good initiative. But, the target date got moved twice, and now I dont even know when the end date is.
May be IV should be a top-down organization. Any organization as big as IV would probably be better served with a Top Team. That team could probably elected by the community. I am confident, that most of our members wouldnt even mind spending a few extra bucks to pay a honarary amount to this team for their efforts and time. Then there will be more structure and accountability and action going on around here.
I came to know about IV pretty late. When I did learn about IV and joined IV, I was a very enthusiastic participant. Of late, I do believe IV is fading away. I dont see so many activities going on around here. Like eb3_nepa and few others said, IV is right now becoming just another Immigration portal. It is starting to lose its identity.
After doing all the hard work to gather a mass or like minded people, it will be shameful, if IV drifts away from its stated aim. So, may be it is time for every member, including core members like you to refect upon things and come up with ways to make this organization more transparent and more accessible for people like me.
Like Waldenpond said, it is probably not wise to list all the items going on in the portal. The work around to that would be, we can add another membership type which is more restrictive. This membership group will have only members whose identities have been verified. Once this group is created, IV can post all the happenings accessible to them. This will help people like me who are unable to be part of any state chapter to know what is happening at IV. Keep our sprits high.
Thank you

With my very best wishes to those of you waiting for your GC, this thread is created for the lucky among us who received it recently. I am putting together a list of things to do, and not do, to maintain our freshly minted PR status, which should also help during future citizenship application. The list is mostly about little things that others have learned from experience (and I am learning from their experience, by reading in immigration-related forums such as IV). The more obvious things that can be found for example in USCIS handbook (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/M-618.pdf) are not included here. Below is a snapshot of what I have gleaned from Internet so far, and please add your own input(s):
LIST of DO's :
[This is an evolving list thanks to valuable inputs from folks here and elsewhere, so keep checking back.]
Cheers,
Stuck(no more)InTheMuck
Thanks for the detailed information.
I have a unique situation here. My original GC sponsor (a multi billion dollar industry leader) laid me off after 6 months of I485 due to lack of position in the company.
I ported my GC using AC 21 and joined another small consulting company. Now my GC is approved and I have an offer in hand from another company.
Will it be a good idea to move or do I have to wait for 6 months or 1 year before I make an employment switch.
My most important consideration is that there is chance of potential loss of job (may god forbid) with the current position. I may be able to save myself by switiching job right now. And of course there is more money on the table.

Hello All,
I just wanted to start a new thread to discuss career options for those who have been on H1b for 6+ years.
1. Being on H1 more than 6 years and waiting for GC means you have been stuck in the same job for several years.
2. You can't start a masters because you are not sure if you will ever be able to complete it
3. You have kids who are already growing up.
4. Your wife has been waiting to start working for years now.
So feel free to discuss anything related to these issues here. Let's exchange ideas and everyone can make informed decisions for long term :)

logiclife - i saw your video and figured out that you seem very stressed and disappointed about all these things. Criticisms are common especially when you work for a noble cause. Chill out man. You have enough support from a lot of people. What IV has achieved
(1) Bringing awareness to a lot of people - this is a big achievement
(2) Helping anonymous people who come with issues, most of the advises and opinions here do not have any selfish motives and every advise comes with a lot of experience
(3) Raising awareness in media
(4) It is single most strongest organization representing highly skkilled immigrants
(5) Exposing selfish employers and lawyers and educating immigrants so that they don't get exploited
(6) Being realistic about anything and everything
(7) Making sincere lobbying efforts
(8) Educating lawmakers
(9) Not breaking any rules and doing everything in a good manner.
What IV can focus
(1) Diplomacy - Lets study our opponents and businessmen and lawmakers so that we know where we stand and how to do things.
(2) Controlled membership access - People must fill out a membership form
The above said, I think when someone challenges and criticises, we can also take them in right spirit and not pounce on the person. Criticisms lead to a better system implementation and has its own advantages.
Good luck

Tony, I didn't grow up in India. I am oblivious to its education ways. That said, some of the comments expressed here, is not the way to talk to anyone with an education, no matter what school they graduated. Anyway, I'm done here.
Thats cool. I'm sure no one wanted to attack this member directly, but there is a reason why people jumped on the 3 year degree, especially since this is commerce, for a technology job.
I have worked with europeans with 3 year degrees. Many Russians love the BSc physics
3 year degrees are popular and the first choice in many ROW countries (only). I'll leave it at that.
But I have been involved in hiring for quite a few of the top 10 companies in India, and I do know what qualifications they look for and ones they don't look at.
There are exceptions like bugsbunny mentioned - There are some who come from poor families that can't afford the 4 year degree, even at $100-200 a year.
They are too few Ivy league/reputed 3 year degrees in India, unless the field is arts, Law, economics,...
If you don't qualify in the top 5%, you have to shell out $1000-$2000 a year for engineering degree.

Why isnt supporting and contributing to IV an option on the table here? People like such are "all talk and no action" types..!!
World strongest person (US President) support relief for high skilled but failed!
World richest person (Bill Gates) not only support but desperately want relief for high skilled but failed.
Now only one option left that is to follow century's strongest person (Mahatma Gandhi) or keep quite.

There seems to be no pattern among recent approval rate-My coworker didn't get any update from USCIS- he directly got his physical GC on 4th Sept.
We are still waiting, tried InfoPass, Raised SR, Contacted Senator etc.etc. I am willing to go to Lincoln,NE if that is what it will take to get GC:D
LOL - let me know when you book your flights to Lincoln - I will be there with you ..whatever it takes buddy - whatever it takes :)
do you think some sort of campaign would work in this case? may be this is TOO EARLY to think about this but that's what happened last year - we waited for 2 months and got NADA !!! Hope it doesn't happen this year.

He contacted his senator to get the total number of pending EB apps for India.
Please see the response from the senator in the following link. It has pending applications by category.

Do we know if this is for I 140 or 485 or both ?

It won't help, if everyone starts porting, EB-2 queue will face a similar situation. Porting doesn't happen soon either. With delays in I-140 processing, it may be close to 2 years before you could file for a fresh I-485 with a request to port the EB-3 priority date. Note, this is a grey area and doesn't guarantee you the old PD. If the company is willing to foot the bill, go for it or else IMO it is not worth spending your own money.
Legislative or Administrative fix is our best option. We should focus on the recapture bill and other initiatives by IV, contribute and participate in the action items. We, as a community should raise enough money for lobbying etc.,
Porting should not be done just because of the GC wait. In fact, porting should be a side-effect if anything caused by a change in job. There are much more major considerations as well as reasons for changing a job.
The best course of action is contribute to IV so that we can have more lobbying power. With that, we may be able to get bills like 5882 thru and that is what will help all of us. It is the single path in my mind for minimum investment to maximum return.

My background check has been pending since dec 2009, I have not done anything yet because my PD is not current. I will be requesting their help next month or as soon as my PD is current. IV has helped some folks who were stuck for long time. May be you can request their assistance. This is BC process could be pain ....

"USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No.107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted."
This clearly says applications already filed will also be accepted. So this means anyone who filed between July 2nd and 17th will not be rejected.

11/16/2006: Update of Lame Duck Congress Agenda
# Report indicates that the House leaders more or lesss have determined that they will stay in session through the middle of December 2006 and hope to pass all the pending appropriation bills. Report also indicates that the appropriation bills have not moved an inch within this week because both the House and the Senate have been struggling to elect the new leaders in the both chambers. Accordingly, as we reported yesterday, we will not see any active and interesting legislative activities in the Hill until next week. It is thus obvious that the Congress may pass the Continuing Resolution at least until the middle of December 2006. If in the middle of December the Congress fails to pass all the spending bills and close the 109lth Congress after middle of December, it is likely that the Congress may pass another Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government through January 2007 and the remaining spending bills will have to be taken care of by the new 110th Congress in January 2007.
# Thus far, there is no indication of introducing Ominibus Spending bill. The report indicates that CIR may stay in limbo for the rest of the year owing to the complicated strategic interest involved in both parties as related to the 2008 national election and chances are that the discussion and debate on the CIR may not take place until the new majority party starts controlling the legislative agenda. However, we may have to wait and see whether any piecemeal legislative bills on H-1B and employment-based immigration may have any chance to make through the Lame Duck Congress as related to the spending bill legislation. Business community is actively working on this strategy and it may be the immigrants' interest not to be too vocal other than working very closely with their employers to push the Congress to help the business comnmunity. People should remember that when it comes to the legislation, the Congress may act on the constituents' voice, particularly powerful constituents' voice, but not necessarily on the immigrants' rights or privilege issues. Politics is politics and one cannot ignore the reality of the political process.
