If you read my any previous posts and to repeat, there will be no issue to contribute from me or most of us here. We need an action item. Anyone with minimum common knowledge here sees there is no change in dates for the last 6 months, or even last few years. You seem to be a strong supporter of contributions, can you list one action item which we planned to take up in the last or in near future that addresses our concerns of backlogs. Now dont come back and tell me or send me a picture of July 07 campaign or your 12th grade or 10th grade marksheet. We need to be doing things of our interest EVERY single day. I do my job very good.. I know.. but I have to keep doing it everyday if I have to keep it. Similarly unless you put continuous efforts, you wont get continuous results.
If you want a reply to your post from me again, come back with an action item that you see as planned.
Which is first? Egg or Chicken?
If we have enough budget, we can hire good lobbying firm who can then guide us. Without any contributions, we can not even approach the lobbying firms for any help. The contributions that we make are not even enough for maintenance of this web site.
Why not you guide us? Hire a lobbying firm and inform every one here that it will cost this much and this is how you want to do?
I am not part of IV core. if all of us contribute big money, we can hire the best lobbying. We saw the last results.

I think the current state of disagreement is good because at least everything is out in the open and up for fighting. If this bill had to be scuttled it could have been done very quietly. But there are enough people out there who will make sure that there is no easy death for this bill. It is a fight and a lot of egos will need to appeased in the process.
How much will we gain out of it in the end as skilled legal immigrants may not be necessarily in our control during this whole process as illegal voices are more stronger and we are really considered compromisable. It will be up to our well wisher politicians and vested business interests to push something in our favor.

Hi, Can somebody let me know, what would happen if first labor was approved from BPC (Not from PERM) and 2nd Labor is being filed in PERM (both from same employer)? Would DOL automatically deny the first labor or do some audit?

Is there any way to distinguish contributing members from non-contributing members when they post on forums ... something like adding a field to "Join date", etc. to show whether they are contributing. This will at least persuade some members to contribute out of shame...
Please contribute.
What if they are completely shameless?

Let us focus on advocacy event for the next few days on the forum.
Some distracting threads would be deleted by moderators in the interest of staying focused on advocacy day work. There is a lot of work to be done. We are still short on our funding goal. I urge everyone to help us out .
Please fill the form ImmigrationVoice.org - Advocacy Update (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=36) and let us know your schedule asap. If someone has not made up their mind to come, please book the tickets now. If you have not yet contributed, please contribute now.
All DC/VA/MD members should come and attend the advocacy day anyway. Please confirm to IV that you are coming.

I guess DOS/DHS won't provide all documentation, just like recent firing of US attorney.
They didnt provide docs for the US attorney firings because Bush cited "Executive privilege" ... there is no such "privilege" in this case .... Bush hopefully had nothing to do with the DOS/USCIS screwup :)

There are plenty of people facing this problem, so all we need to convey them about this compaign, so that they will add their case here, this way we could increase the head count and make this compaign successfully.
Guys let's pass this to as many people as possible. I am trying my level best.
hopefully we will see more people this weeek.
Thanks!

It seems like the major disagreement is on the issue of "granting amnesty" or that sort of act to illegal immigrants. Not sure if this is going to make a difference but approaching congress members with the concerns of legal skilled immigrants might make some difference. So if there happens to be a discussion and in which case more than likely the house will focus on the provisions included in the house version of the immigration bill which primarily focuses on border security etc. may still pass. If that happens there is a slight chance that they may agree on some if not all of the provisions for the legal skilled worker. We can do web fax thing or contact over phone etc....doesn't hurt to try......

Why can't you search for preapproved labor to file I485 quickly?
I have my own labor approved with a PD of 2004 and 140 pending. Thanks for the suggestion.
You know what some desi companies are sending emails too , saying they have pre approved labors....
It is totally unfair for the people whose applications are pending in BECS since 1999.

Pappu, I really lost my interest in this. After waiting for so long, I have come to a state where I find this to be not worth it anymore. I don't want to continue with this uncertainity any longer and my children are growing up and I want to move on in my life. Negotiating a good job offer for a good position. Its not that I am going to get my GC in 6 months or let alone in 2 years with a total of more than 8000 people ahead of me. So, I am looking at a minimum of 2 years wait and I do not think its worth waiting any longer. Getting a GC in 3-5 years seems tobe a OK wait, but more than 7 years, I want to use my time in something else more precious. Did not mean to hijack the purpose of this thread, just wrote it because you asked that question.
Any reasons for R2i?
Is it your EB3 wait?
With a Jan 03 PD it is sad to see someone giving up after a 7 year wait and coming so close to getting current.

Got CPO email for both my spouse and myself. Details:
I Labor: June 2004
Quit company in 2005 Sept
II Labor: May 2006
I-485: July 2007
Got current twice after that but no luck with GC
Finally greened on 5/4/2011
Did not get any RFE. Last SLUD was Sept. 2010. No activity after that. And today got the CPO emails and SMS messages.
CONGRATS and Enjoy the freedom.

I understand your frustration since I am in the same boat but I feel it is wrong to say that the IV efforts are hurting EB3 folks. Not sure if there is basis to support that. Several IV proposals helped all EB categories and failed mainly due to anti-immigrant lobby.
EB3 situation is completely hopeless and only piecemeal reform can help EB3. I am sorry but I do not understand this discussion since this bill (if it ever comes to debate) impacts across all EB (advanced degrees).
Now why would i sue IV. It is the organization which is making an effort. Sadly that effort is hurting EB3 folks. The whole idea is that we are a community and as a community we need to discuss all issues. Now when i talk about EB3 issues a EB2 volunteer (I commend you for doing what you are doing w.r.t. advocacy) asks me how many law makers did i meet. Now why would i meet a lawmaker as a representative of IV if i believe what IV articulates impacts EB3 adversly

One's life time is too short to determine whether changing citizenship to US citizenship is worth or not. And hence to define it as a "wisdom" or "short sightedness" is also almost impossible. Two school of thoughts can just pop up 1) What would be the gain vis a vis loss changing citizenship 2) why one should get rid of the citizenship where one was born. And both of them are more realted with philosophical and moral issues rather than short term material gain...
Bharatpremi,
I accept what you say. But consider this psychological issue: You lived in a country which is 100% different in every thing for most of the life time and then going back after you think to retire. All your kids are either born or grown up here and they no longer wish to come with you when you want to go to your parent country. Again you will be living alone in another country. Instead, we can get our Citizenship and live atleast near our kids. Further, if you are detached with the wordly things and wish to live alone, it is OK.
One more thing, we have come here wantedly without thinking about the future and at all stages of our life we will be confused. I have seen some people with determined mind. They come at the age of 20 - 25, earn a lot, get married to working women, both of them work here , have kids (US citizens), and they go back to their parent country with good money when the kids become 7 years old and both husband and wife will be in the mid of thier carrier. But it is not the case for majority of the people. Many have come with grown up kids etc., and they can not just like that go back. Necessarily they are bound to be here and atleast for those people, to live without anxiety, I would like to have the citizenship process to happen faster if they live here legally for 10 years.
