Done!!

Good work TEAM!

Thanks austin123 !!!

$100 from my side

I am sorry to say this but I am not at all surprised that CIR may not pass. Every American I know has called his/her Senator to tell them that they wont vote for them if they vote for amnesty. And that is expected since all they know about CIR is that it is an amnesty for illegal immigrants. I would have done the same thing if I was in their shoes.

I dont know if I should be happy or sad that CIR will not pass.

I am sad since this will affect legal people waiting to get their EAD card and other such issues that IV is fighting for.

I am happy because illegals will not get amnesty. That would be a slap in our face. It would have also led to the meltdown of the immigration machine which cant handle the current workload without bungling it up.

Maybe the failure of CIR will let us redirect our our efforts so we focus on a bill which specifically addresses the issues of LEGAl immigrants and we dont get tarnished by the illegal immigrants issues.

Thanks for sharing this...But I've not yet applied for my EAD renewal...

My wife got a soft LUD on 8/21. She has PD of Dec 2005 EB2 (I). I wa shappy to see some activity but then i saw the following thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum5-all-other-green-card-issues/1599851-ead-renewal-but-i-485-update.html#post1981520) . It looks like some got the soft LUD on their 485 but their EAD was in process and same is the case wiht my wife. She applied for EAD renewal last month.

Correct me If I am wrong

out of 45K members let's assume 22.5 K are EB2 and 22.5 K are EB3.

Even If 11.25K (EB2)+11.25K (EB3) = 22.5 K (Total) contributes $25 Each Problems gets solved ... but the catch is ....

Even 11.25 K EB2 members are not contributing because they don't have to as their problem is solved

Even 11.25 K EB3 members are not contributing because they are not sure even with this contribution their problems gets solved.

Many people are saying that EB3 members are not contributing that's why you are lagging etc...

EB3 Members who contributed are feeling the pain because even after contribution they are not getting the results and EB2 members who didn't contributed are getting the results...


Could you elaborate on how the money will solve the problem? If we could make a laundry list of action items and cost for each, we could do an extensive email campaign among all our members and convince them to contribute

More people will contribute if and when they get a clear picture of how the money will work for them

And no, I am not making any statement here throwing suspicions and distrust or ill will. This is a suggestion for improving the contributions, which is coming across as a weak area

should we also try another vendor just to diversify the risk of this one deciding not to deliver. I will do some research to see which others a re available.

DId your checks get cashed and receipts issued.
I heard from a friend,he got a receipt but checks not cashed yet.

The checks were submitted by my attorney and I am sure they might have cashed but I can not say for sure.

Folks,
here is the message i have given. what do u think?

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Editor,
July 10th, 2007 Will be a day of flowers showered all over USCIS office from thousands and thousands of legal immigrants all around US. This day, we express our pain and frustration that has been carrier by us since 5-9 years. This is going to be a peaceful protest with millions of flowers delivered to USCIS Director, Emilio Gonzalez.
Gandhi ji is not alive, but many gandhians are born in our heart and soul, to make USCIS realise the value of Hardship and humanity.



This is probably the first time when skilled, legal professionals are participating in an event like this at this scale and it goes to show the level of anxiety in the community right now. Would you be willing to write about this event ?

For more information on the event, please see the attached pdf.

pls. feel free to contact me for more information on this campaigne.

Thanks,

In my own terms, there is only one line defined by the priority date. So you can amuse yourself all you want. Its not gonna change the law.

So "Stay in line" :D

Dream ON ...! No Law is immutable buddy ;)

I see that the minimum contribution to IV is $50. Any chance that IV will make it $20 and see how many new contributions it will get to see?

Any reason why we arent considering the 2008 presidential candidates in our email campaign?

6RU77737WF387820X.

contributed $100.

I came to US in 1996 as a student and graduated in 1999. Since then I have switched jobs and I am currently with a Priority date of oct, 2006(EB2). Even within this employer first they filed under EB3 even though it could have been filed under EB2 (Not becasue they are bad - becasue the employer don't know much about immigration). After I requested the employer, they filed a new labor on Oct, 2006. So if the priority date is based on the years of experience, it will be nice for me. But the main issue that all of us are facing is VISA availabilty. If this can be taken care, all of the issues will be taken care

Overall the current immigration system is screwed-up. It really needs a major change. That is the main problem

Thanks
Karthik


having been in the US since 2001, losing out my LC/PD to the dot-com bust and finally ending up with a PD of 2006, I second that. PD should be based on number of years of experience or years of stay in the US or amount of taxes paid till now or something like that.

In any case what we WANT is very different from what we usually get from this immigration system and there are bigger more important battles for IV to fight. Look, if there is no retrogression PD almost does not matter!! THATS the right fix. END RETROGRESSION!

Was it TSC or NSC?

We too got the magic emails saying our 485 has been approved. It was indeed a long journey that started back in 2000. Happy that it all ended well. My priority date is Dec 2005. I did create a service request early August which helped a lot. All the best to the rest of the guys who are waiting for the approval emails.

Filed I-485 on July 31,2007. Checks cashed on Sep 10th and received Receipt Notices for me and my wife through the attorney yesterday. I am in the EB-2 category with PD: Oct 2005.
However, on both of our I-485 receipt notices, the Category shows up as "Unknown" ...Has anyone else faced any such thing...

Please advice.

There is no short cut to get relief. Each one of us needs to spend time, money and effort on a continuous basis for a long term, if we want something to happen. Nothing happens overnight. If your opposition is tough, economy is bad, you have to make more efforts to get things done. Many just come once in a while on IV forums when visa dates are bad, blame IV for doing nothing, give ideas and go away. We have seen it oft repeated after every visa bulletin. Those people who complain have never even tried to become a volunteer and tried doing anything. That needs to stop. If people genuinely want something to happen, each person needs to get active. We have stopped posting much on the open forum for these reasons. Very few show real commitment and sincerity. $25 is the least you can do to show that you are committed to the purpose of this relief and appreciate the hard work of the organization. We are always welcoming anyone who wishes to volunteer and can help implement their ideas. So if you have ideas and can commit your time, skills and energy for it on a continuous basis contact us.

As a first step do this action item now:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum89-news-articles-and-reports/324571-immigration-voice-newsletter-the-future-is-not-in-the-hands-of-fate-but-in-ours.html

We do not need 10s of people meeting lawmakers. We need thousands in each state. It does not cost any money. Just spend your time and show sincerity for something that will benefit you.
