perm2gc,
Instead of bumping it with a " /\/\/\/\/\/\ " , I agree... I wrote a little philosophy there, looks like you did not like it.
Hopefully , we will be able to prioritize it with other members every then and now, to grow our membership to magic 10,000.
I placed that smiley to indicate.it was good theory.Nothing much to read into it.
If that smiley has troubled you..i am sorry.

I will elaborate. EB2 was current untill September 30th 2005. So where does the 2003 "screeching blah blah" come into effect?
Besides ike I have posted countless times...there were only 2000+ approvals for Labor certifications for India between march2005 and october 2005
and only 7000 labor certifications for India between march 2005 and december 2005.
These include a number of labor certifications for other worker categories. I myself saw at least 500 pipefitters and welders and joiners whose labor certification had been approved from Louisiana (maybe cos of katrina)
so if the priority dates have to move for EB2 they will move to jan 2006 (like the chinese have) or remain at 2004
Perhaps can you start studying bulletins from January 1999 once again please? And I would request you to gather up "major events", "Major law/system related changes" from year 2001 to 2006. Perhaps, yes then you and I will be on the same board.

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.

Going back to the original subject of discussion - before the thread got hijacked by plainspeak and some really divisive and dangerous viewpoints -
This is typically what anti-immigrant and competitor websites do, they never donate or take part in advocacy activities - like PlainSpeak. examples of anti-immigrants are numbersUSA, FAIR and many others. your game is up, you can leave this website.
They pick up a thread that educates members about advocaccy and pretend to have an argument and completely divert the topic. If people have questions there are better ways to talk to management or core.
There were very valid posts about meeting lawmakers and requests for ideas for a better EB system, which were all supressed thanks to the negative campaign.
Admins please delete posts of PlainSpeak as his goal is to hamper advocacy efforts.
This is a grass-root effort and there is no nice way of getting rid of weeds.
Freeloader weeds are just filling up our Server disk space that we pay for, with their bullshit.

IV members are requested to update their profile with valid dates so that we can make IV tracker helpful for everyone.
I have personally decided to make this request to everyone who does not have their details completed and only then respond to the member. If a member has bogus data in their profile for tracking purposes I would not be replying to that post. This might help encourage members wanting replies from IV core team for their questions.
Thanks, and i have. But there seems to be bugs in the tracker. For eg the filtering doesn seem to work and the page looks broken :confused: Would it be possible that these are fixed soon ? Great idea by the way.

Slumdog,
You did exactly what you have accused others of(that is bashing). You could have simply opined, put your point through and left. But you went further than that, I don't understand what is the whole idea of one group passing judgment on others. There are EB2 better than EB3 threads, the labor substitutes vs. honest to God super qualified deserving PERM filers, then there is US educated vs. non US educated and now renters vs. home owner and savers vs. big spenders. What I fail to understand is, if you have to make your point please do so but keep your opinion about others to yourself on your blogs or you personal websites.
Now coming to the point:
These people do not want to buy houses not because they cannot afford or they want to play safe. They just don’t want to spend. All they care is Saving, Saving, saving their entire life & keep filling their bank balances. Often strangely both couples are working.
What's wrong if a couple is saving and filling their bank accounts ? Tell me one thing that is wrong about being frugal ? May be they are saving to for their future education or for their kids education ? For a small business ? or Simply retiring at 40 ? or May be having a bank account full of money gives them same pleasure that you get from your McMansion ? Or they simply want to live debt free and sleep well at night. So unless I have some material possession to show for my money, I am wasting it all away ? Isn't it ?
These are people who want to live in cheapest rent (even with double income) in single bedroom & they don’t mind children sleeping in their bed room. They don’t mind sending their children to low grade schools.
If you want to throw your hard earned money and pay the highest possible rents, please go ahead. Don't preach. Public education is free and private school are not cheap so please explain what do you mean by "Low Grade Schools" ? Besides renters can choose any school they want by simply renting in the best school district at all grades. Your point doesn't make sense. Besides living frugally gives your kids a better shot at quality education then overspending on unnecessary things.
Their intention to come into this country is only for earning money & because they don’t have high ambitions & all they care is saving & not spending, they just think of saving in all possible ways.
Making money is a perfectly fine ambition is a capitalistic country. May be their ambition is to save early and then provide the best for their family by working part time in later years. Please define "high ambition" ? Buying a high rise condo ? McMansion in a suburb ? Would that instantly qualify me to be an ambitious achiever ?
They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my
It doesn't matter what your views are, if they have money in the bank they are actually "rich". If they can maintain the same life style in good times and bad times, they are rich. They can provide food, shelter and health insurance for their family during tough times, they are rich. Unfortunately your views will NOT pay bills, so you can distribute them freely on this forum all you want it won't make a difference.
They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my view they are poor than most of homeless guys who live out streets.
Don't insult someone just because he/she is homeless. People do go through tough times and not everyone is fortunate to have smooth sailing all along. You said have seen it all but you haven't learned to be humble !!! May be you ain't seen nothing yet. Start with "Pursuit of Happiness" the movie that is.

Good work!
This looks good. However, I think "suggestion" part of this document needs a little bit more elaboration and more specific highlighting of the fact.
Also, not sure. Does this need a bill in congress or admin change? Maybe we discussed this before. The reason for asking is, if it should come from congress, we need to put in more efforts. If its an admin change / fix, I think its a bit easier.
IV: We need your attention.

Mr. Nathan I have a great deal of respect for you and all those who have committed themselves to driving IV and all activities it is doing. But what you understood from my post is entirely wrong, and I have to explain why, because if this is the misconception you are having, not about me in particular but everyone who is not involved, then it definitely needs answers.
As I already clarified, I had stopped worrying about GC, long time ago, not after getting EAD.
I bought a house when I didn't even start my current GC process.
I went to India (Chennai) in my 7th year for H1 extension stamping (after completing 6 yrs of H1 and before I even filed 485). I didn't postpone it till I got EAD.
I left my employer who had filed for my labor in 2004 because he started acting up at the end of my project and started GC process with new employer well into my 6th year.
I do understand some people run to IV only in time of need. But all I am saying is not to paint everyone with same brush. Even if you think about people who want anything to do with IV only when there is need, lets try winning them over rather than stating the obvious and ridiculing them.
rkg000,
I don�t have anything personally against you. For the last couple of years things have changed dramatically for the worst. If you are on H1B you are facing lots of hardship and it doesn�t matter even if you are genuinely employed and in status. They used to ask only for client letters and now it is laundry list. Till 2007 things were different.
All the information is available in the IV's about page or wiki. There are people who genuinely do not have much info but there are people who do not want to participate. Because it�s not going to help them immediately until it�s going to bite them. Until then they do not see the value for their investment.
The frustration and disappointment is about them. You cannot wake up a person who is just pretending.

I have a 11 pages PERM, where can I see in which category was certified. I don`t find any information. Please advice.
I think it is on Page 2 (Section H: Job opportunity information) --> Item # 4 = Education: minimum level required. If it is checked as "Masters" or "PHD" it is EB2, if not it is EB3.
This is my interpretation. It took my 3 months to get my job profile changed from Masters preffered to Masters Required. Hope this is what it is. I have been assured by my lawer it is EB2

If the petition is filed as a COS H1, then USCIS should approve it with an attached I-94 unless there are any doubts in which case, it still approves it but without an I-94 and sends a cable to your home country visa consulate where you would have to go and get the visa stamped before Oct 1st and come back to start working...
If her current status is Valid and is H4 and If the attorney does the paper work right as Change of Status she should get an I94 attached to the approval notice. In that case she does not need to get it stamped to work. But if she leaves the country for any reason she should get the H1B stamped.

The slowness in the approval rate has me a little worried. In July many people got approved at within the first few days - that does not seem to have happened for the first 3 days of August so far. I'm hoping that this is just a blip and the trend picks up shortly.
