I see everyone firing at each other (junior members, members, senior members, moderators and super administrators).
Here are my two cents to keep yourself calm, composed and dignified
1) Empathy will win friends and support
2) Sympathy you will have only when someone is humble and meek
3) If you lack both the society will ignore you
PS: In a fight the weak always get support, the big and strong are on their own. if they lose no one to cheer them up nor comforts.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you are the only one who can make your choice.
personally i would close this thread if i did not feel it was unfair to the orginal poster.... there has been lack of civility from everyside. One rude poster, against whom there were several complaints. but even after he departed, iv bashing continued, and the pretexts are amazing. "it's an open forum" sure it is "no one should ask for contributions" really? what's an open forum? i believe the rudeness of the requests hurts our cause, but he is member like everyone else and can ask people to contribute if he wants- albeit without personal attacks which are against the forum guidelines.
btw there is a difference too between just contributing money and contributing in general. but one takes money the other takes effort and no one can apparently spare either!
there are 22,000 + members. everyone needs to understand that such a forum has all kinds of people and responses. grow up people, have a thicker skin and deal with it. no moderators or the forum has "abused" you. further it amazes me to hear that regulars who spend a ton of time on tracking threads claim to not know the organizations goals (on the front page!!) and want the core team to come explain. if the core team spent time trolling tracking threads to do that and police every piece of rude talk there would not be a forum. because...the forum only exists as part of a grassroots organization that is fighting retrogression. after the flower campaign and san jose rally, after july 17, if you are still "waiting" to be convinced, well congress is not waiting, the election cycle is not waiting and certainly retrogression is not. so maybe...if we fail...let's all wait...till 2013 as the democrat leader says...for any reform...will that be enough time to convince people living in NJ to ride up to DC and stand up for themseves?

dont worry, nobody will take any offense from your post...we all are one big happy family around here...right guys???:)
The post did not mean to offend people of any particular community. I apologize, if it appeared that way. So please take this thread light heartedly only.
If it is of any further consolation then here is my brief backgroud:
I am a Hindu by birth.
Did my schooling from a catholic school and know Bible's stories by heart and also had led choirs.
Did my B.S. Mechanical engineering from a prominent miniority university, Aligarh Muslim University.
So you see, I would be the last person to use this story to stereotype folks from any particular religon.
I will conclude by saying that polygamy in India is almost non existent. The story cited here is unique, irrespective of what religion the person belongs to, even though the laws may be permitting in certain cases.

Unfortunately, this will require change in Law and is not an Admin Fix
I request everybody to add one line in the letter for Consular processing filers as they should be allowed to get AC21 and EAD facilities now. This law came earlier only for 485 filers because CP process was fast but now due to retrogession all CP filers are waiting for Years and in the worst sitauation as 485 filers are enjoying their freedom with AC21 and EAD
Immmigration Voice I'll appreciate if you could add this agenda in you campaign letter.
Thanks

So if I'm understanding it correctly. For all the ones who applied for I-140 after May15th 07 all there petitions will be cancelled or revoked? I really that should come from the USCIS as a amendment and not from a news or a blog. I have been browsing the website and yet to find it. Can someone help me out with the exact text from USCIS? :mad:
Posting this since almost every thread has the question about the cut-off date after which all LCs or I-140s will be invalidated.
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2007,0530-endelman.shtm
Excerpt from "http://www.ilw.com/articles/2007,0530-endelman.shtm" posted earlier, the cutoff date is May 15, 2007; NOT May 21 2007. (Thanks to "cnag" for finding this link).
... ...
Wait, there is more! The end of employer-sponsored immigration and the inauguration of the points system do not take place at the same time. No kidding, there are two different dates when the old is no good and the new becomes available. If you can contain your excitement and read the finer points of Section 502(d)(1) of S. 1348, you will discover that the point system does not take effect until the first day of the fiscal year following enactment, unless (and there always is one) this is less than 270 days. What then? Not to fear. In that case, the point system does not "go live" until the first day of the FOLLOWING fiscal year. Keep reading! The point system in clause (1) is made expressly subject to clause (2) which has few surprises in store. It is not for the uninitiated or the faint of heart. These tender souls should protect their blood pressure and keep on reading. Pursuant to Section 502(d)(2), only those employment-based immigrant petitions on Form I-140 filed before the introduction of S. 1348 on May 15th will remain valid and serve as the basis for an immigrant visa after enactment. So what, you say? Well, suppose that President Bush signs the bill on September 10th 2007. That is the date of enactment. Now, the points system waits until October 1, 2008, the first day of the second fiscal year following enactment. From September 10, 2007 until October 1, 2008, over one year, we will have no employment-based green cards! You heard me right friend, no employer sponsorship based on anything after May 15th 2007 and no points system. This is Pat Buchanan's dream come true- an entire fiscal year without any green cards being issued on the basis of employment!

GC_on_Demand,
As you see most of them are free members who have nothing to do with the immigration reform. They just keep browsing around the pages to see if there is any hope of getting GC any sooner and others are disguised Antis and marketing guys.
So just don't get bothered by these members and their comments.
The guys who are serious , have already proved themselves by becoming the donors and working sincerely towards the solution.

I think the "someone" you mentioned was me. Feel free to use my name. Glad I could be of help ;)
Folks,
I am going to share with you what I have done regarding refilling and why I have done that.
Call me a paranoid or something else but the fact of the matter is that time period between July 2nd and Aug 17th is a golden opportunity that may not present itself for several years now.
Though the chances of my application getting rejected due to mail room error is less but in the game of probability everyone of us stand equal chances of getting hit by a thunder bolt.
Just a side note - They install lightning rod on buildings to protect from lightening even though chances are 1 in 700,000. Well, my odds are much worse than that. Hence, I need to protect myself.
Regarding filling multiple 485 applications, Rajeev Khanna has categorically stated in one of his meetings that he is doing it. And we all know he is a person of good reputation.
There are two scenarios I can think about:
a) My July 2nd is accepted: In such cases either my later filled application is automatically rejected or they will send me a letter asking me to choose one.
Someone on one of his/her post had mentioned about stop payment idea. He may have a point. Call USCIS and you will find out that only thing they will do is reject your application, which is what you want if your earlier application is already in process.
Somebody also stated just like what they did in H-1B cases on 04/02/07, they may reject both applications, well; H-1B case was different due to lottery system.
b) My July 2nd application is rejected: Well, I just protected myself from a thunder bolt.
Having suffered in Green Card race for so long, my risk taking capacity has greatly been reduced. I am not advising or urging anyone to take any action. I am just sharing what I did.

The adv of 485 route compare to CP is EAD/AP/AC21. In CP, the applicant is getting immigrant visa in a foreign post/consulate. How can USCIS give EAD/AP for a person who is staying outside of US to grant EAD/AP?. There is no technical ground for this request. If you/IV want to lobby, lobby for EAD/AP for the guys whose 140 was approved and staying in US legally on a non-immigrant visa. This may be possible thro, USCIS regulation w/o law change.
Though, law does not force any one to chose only 485 route, while you anyone already in US. Very very few guys will opt for CP while in US due to lot of hurdles in CP. Forget about retrogression, EAD, AP. Opting CP, cost you to fly to home country to get immigrant visa. There is no gurentee that US consulate will give you a immigrant visa based on approved 140 in CP process. That is always risk of denial at interview. It is something similar like, H1B approval by USCIS does not guartee the H1B visa at consulate.

I was in similar situation last year, I got layed off after working for 5 years in same company and was on my 6th year h1b with eb3 L/C pending in BEC. I switched to consulting immediately and got extension based on the old L/C and applied for new GC.
These are situations that are not under our control. We must live with these FOL

Definite. My journey was worth it, even considering all the diffiulties. In India, I had a flourshing practice and when I was planning to go to US, my friends will call be a "fool".
However, looking back, I think I made a wise decision. I have a very good academic job, for which I am proud of. My wife has a very respectable job, which she could not have done there. My kids are much more independent and mature and have more opportunities in terms of education, jobs, travel etc. My health is far better here (I was allergic to dust and had athma). I have more time to enjoy sports and travel. Most of my immediate family is in US.
In nutshell, YES, I did the right thing.

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely,but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000".The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return".
