Just like everyother memeber has expressed opinion, i was shocked to read your posting.

May god give you the courage to handle the stress and resposibality you have now.

I keep trying to convince.."Did i realy read that posting or was it just a bad dream"..unfortunalty its not a dream..!!!

Do get it checked from well know doctors. Here is a youtube version of comenecement speach given by Steve Jobs. Even he was diagnized with cancer and he spent whole day thinking of his resposibality. But that evening the doctors realzied it was curable cancer and were in tears ..!!!

be strong...

As we have so many ideas floating around.

Let me stress on the fact that what ever we decide to do, we need funds for that.

Although this funding drive was a bust, but i would like to try it one more time. I request fellow IV'ans to come forward and help in contributing.

GO I/WE GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

22CFR 42.32 is not INA.
22CFR 42.32 is not the law.
INA is the law.


See the post of "vbkris77".

The specific law is at: 22CFR 42.32
(http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2007/aprqtr/pdf/22cfr42.32.pdf)

And it specifically states that the derivative is entitled to same "classification".

=======
(2) Entitlement to derivative status.
.......is entitled to a derivative status corresponding to the classification and priority date of the beneficiary of the petition.
=======

I pledge $200 for this noble cause.

Just want to let you know that I am still VERY MUCH against porting. But neither that is the issue we are handling here nor the other issue is as urgent as this one.
Dividing IV on the Lines on EB2 or EB3 or on basis of ROW/India is something i just dont like. United we stand !!!!!! .

I saw couple of threads earlier from you which talks against porting of EB3 to EB2 - i believe you had some lawsuit idea there for not allowing BS+5 to port to EB2 which is think i highly divisive and unfair on certain peoples

Lets come up with ideas without stepping on each others shoe and i'm 100% willing to join.

Has any one in the forum here have a FP notice for a 4 and half year child during the 485 process. I ask this question as my daughter did not get one.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, I got a FP notice for my daughter as she was born in India; and I had applied 485 for her as well.
She was 4 and a half years in Nov 07 when we got the notice. I am a July-Aug 07 filer.
Her FP notice came for a separate date though, diff from my wife's and mine.
I wd suggest you to call USCIS/ur attorney and check.

Hope that helps.

Just got an email that EAD card production ordered

Hi,
It took me a while since their lines are busy. I sent faxes to my local senators and to those:
Patrick J. Leahy http://leahy.senate.gov/contact.html
Arlen Specter http://specter.senate.gov/index.cfm?...ntactInfo.Home
Chuck Hagel http://hagel.senate.gov/index.cfm?Fu...n=Contact.Home
John Cornyn http://cornyn.senate.gov/index.asp?f...&lid=1#contact
Harry Reid http://reid.senate.gov/contact/email_form.cfm
Mitch McConnell http://mcconnell.senate.gov/contact_form.cfm
Mel Martinez http://martinez.senate.gov/public/in...TOKEN=66357958
Trent Lott http://lott.senate.gov/index.cfm?Fus...=Contact.Email
Lindsey Graham http://lgraham.senate.gov/index.cfm?mode=contactform

I created a personal 1-page fax based on IV template and asked to include:
1. More immigrant visas for those who are in the queue alredy(employment based)
2. Asked for easy H1B 3-year extensions like in the present law
3. Allow to file I485 without visa numbers
4. Showed how illegals are being rewarded for breaking the laws, and how the legals are being punished by current bill.

Guys, it may take a while, but do e-mails and faxes. The hardest fax to reach was sen. Reid's office.

Go IV go....

Thanks for putting all the websites together.

What is IV's game plan after the elections? Are we being proactive by contacting key Democrats and making them aware of our issues?

11th and 12th were added later because by Saturday evening when the core team decided to support this campaign, we weren't entirely sure if delivery on the 10th was still possible.

However, majority of flowers are going to be delivered on the 10th so I wanted to keep the focus on that single date.

If you want to go ahead with co-ordinating the actual sending then please go ahead - I think it will be very helpful.

The emails should be sent from the mediacontact email address (attach the pdf - Subject should be "Press Release" with a two line intro). I can compile the list of emails from some of the postings here in IV. Make sure that you Bcc it.

As for the faxes, they can be sent from the local Staples. However, someone has to get those numbers first. Anyone here who can do that? Does IV have a list of fax numbers (Especially those in Washington DC)?

Also, I think we should include a phone number in the media contact. Someone here who can represent us. Anyone used to handling the media.

Gym, yoga, work, birds - these things are just escape from reality. The reality is pretty grim. Imagine a new wanna be immigrant. He/she has basically two choices:

1. Ask for asylum, come up with some story, try to get interview passed. If works - then that's it. If not, ask judge for work permit (usually they grant). And go through hearings, appeals, etc. etc. - takes total 5 years. Meanwhile, work whenever you want. make money, find a girl (or a guy for girls), marry - get your GC. At worst case scenario - you get caught, put on deportation, you cash your credit cards - and leave with $200k in your pocket. So, at worst - you get deported - which is fair.

2. You read the law, you see that your only legal option is EB and you spend 6-8 years going through H1/LC/140/485, etc. Lose money, pay lawyers, pay taxes, miss opportunities. Even after you get GC, some douche bag IO might have a bad day, review your LC/140 and revoke it at any time until you get citizenship for some little reason. Even citizenship may be revoked because of "fraud". How many of you have LC done completely honestly, with interviewing all candidates and stuff like that? Meanwhile, if your company/lawyer screwed something up - you get deported, and you lost 10 best years of your life for nothing. In best case scenario, you get GC - which is fair.

So in 1st case we have fair-win situation, in second - lose-fair. So, can anybody give me ONE reason why we chose 2nd way? Please don't start with "good karma" and things like that. But for real? What is that? What message USCIS is sending us? America is a country of law or a country of criminal opportunists?

To me personally, this immigration thing is just a matter of principle, I'm not leaving without GC, period. I'm ready to have any of my stuff revoked, I'm ready for court battles - at the end I will marry a citizen. Reason? I don't wanna feel being a loser.

You pointed out correctly..the reason everyone of us are depressed is "I don't wanna feel being a loser" as pointed by Bestia and now GC has become some-sort of personnal goal....

Only 50 people mailed their package for July 2nd delivery. You got to be kidding. Please post details of your friends as well if they shipped on July 2nd. I remember seeing a post on another thread with speculation of 100K packages. Thanks -:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I pledge $200.

Did anyone hear anything from their local congressman or USCIS on the visa spillover usage? I am planning to send in more requests this week, let's see...

Please go back .Why wait for the change in law .No one is stopping you . Dont discourage

I am not discouraging , i said "i wish i am proven wrong"
Even Attorney Khanna said the same.

Finally we have decided to go back to India for good. I filed my EB3 in May 2003. Its going to be another 4 years to get the green card. When I went to India for vacation last December, we liked it over there & the economy is booming. There are all sorts of discussion regarding the Economic Gap/Politics/Corruption/Cleanliness. But we like it over there. Finally I will have an option to do something interesting. In US I was very much dependent on my monthly pay check and afraid to take even the slightest risk. I am also scared to use the AC21(Hey, thats the way I am). I am working with the same company for last 10 years, kinda stagnant in the last 4 years. In India, there are lots of choices, either to work for a sw company or start some business on my own. I think I will take the business route.

May be I can go there, earn well, send my son to US for college, do green card through him & come retire in US!!!

Good Luck to everybody!!
Hi asdcrajnet,

Good to know that you have taken the wise decision finally. I have been trying to do this for the last 1 year, but keeps on moving on and on. Probably should set some real target dates to get this done. :)

Wish you all the best for your future.

Regards,

Is it possible to hard wire this thread?

I am dumbstruck. I do not have words to express anything. May god give you enough strength to face this. Explore all the remedies. Believe in yourself. You will be fine
Regarding GC, I think its better to consult immigration attorneys
Good luck

H1 is valid for an year from the date of last used/Approval.

Just for replying to this query - I have got 40 or so negative reputations.:confused: I understand that this is Free Lawyer Conference call forum.

As a token of appreciation - I have contributed $100 to IV just now.Receipt ID: 1467-8132-5592-9911. Request all of those who get GC this month to contribute some $ amount.

I appreciate it.
