I pledge $50 for this effort.
This data will be very useful in making a solid case for fixing EB GC issues.
With this data, our claim will be supplemented and supported by the figures. Which is going to be really helpful for our cause.
Come on folks, this is very important..
Everyone is going through a hard time, but this expense of $25 is simply too important to ignore.
We can do it...
Amit, You are really a great asset to community. Thanks for all your support. This will be a good motivation for others.
Guys, we are going really well. We need to make this happen. Yes, we can!

The only one-time $50 contribution option I saw was the one that said "$50 and subscribe for one month", I assume that was a one time $50 option.
Not that I don't want to contribute on a recurrent basis, but I already have an indefinite $50 recurring option set up since 2007.
And I look forward to seeing y'all in the "Contributors only" forum.

If my wife who is an MBA finance from Mumbai, currently working as a corporate banker with one of the top 5 banks in the world comes to the US on an H4 & decides to do a CPA certification, can she work on OPT until the H1B quota opens up next year???
I received an RFE too,but within 2 weeks of submission of my appln.I have already submitted the reuqested RFE.DO you know whats next?Is RFE a normal procedure?Is there any kind of risks,if you get an RFE?Please let me know.
I guess 13 days after the receipt of notice is a bit too long.I guess you should contact the INS ,incase your RFE notice has been lost or something.

You have become a citizen. What is your vested interest in pursuing this divisive discussion ?
Stay away from IV. We don't need your inputs here.
Admins,
number30 is likely an anti-immigrant. Please ban him.
Wah! What did you see anti immigrant in my post? Can you please elaborate?

Now you are acting like crying baby.
Labor substitution was never illegal unless you have purchased it. Hijacking the priority date is incorrect according INA. If you are not feeling pity about the fellow immigrants who suffered injustice (also from India) you are selfish a individual. FYI more than 60% of the 2007 July fiasco were substitutes I am neither IV core nor you (as per Profile). So all these guys can do is to bring this issue to their attention. So they can decide this battle needs to be fought or not.
You can check my earlier posts to know my status.
As for as fighting is concerned you are the one who started the fight calling them jealous. Since you do not have any points you are using such slurs. Please be gracious on such forums. Even if this is successful it will not affect you because your priority date was current when you applied the I-485. There might be delay which you can overcome by fighting for removing the country quota.
I justified 'jeolous' as I was jeolous too, when I could not get one lcsub for me. However thinking about it from all angles, I did overcome it now.
btw, do you have any proof or reference for this?

We have known Rosa Park personally and she was a speaker at one of our meetings and let me tell you none of you are close to what she was.
It looks like you are planning to go to DC. There is big difference between planning and execution. You folks are theoritical and not practical. This time the bus will be empty. You just don't have it in you. Take it from me.
alterego - Good counter point on the numbers thing.
Sheman - Think Rosa Parks (only one person). It the bus was empty that day, we certainly would be in a different world.

Understood dude, but the fact, Iam not questioning anyone's contributions here. Please understand one thing, I did not even question other members in this forum. It all started when i asked Admin2, What post accused admins in the "If i could be little blunt" thread. I did not even utter a single word or question him ? If you want you can ask Admin2. It is only after he said MadhuVJ and GCStatus are the same. I started this argument. Because to me, it was rubbish. Eversince, Iam only trying to clear this thing up. Even after that, I did not bad mouth him. Iam giving all my details just to make it clear to him that Iam not GCStatus. Hope you got my point. Infact, if you want to go to page 3 and start reading all my posts. Tell me, If i crossed my line in any of my posts.
GCStatus and MadhuVJ:
Looks like you guys have decided to fight with Admin2.
To some extent, Admin2 deserves this punishment. He spent just little 60,000 US dollars to fight for all of us. Yes, it is Sixty Thousand dollars. Whenever he goes to DC to meet lawmakers and/or Lobbyists, he spends money from his own pocket for stay and car rental. He desrevs so much beating from us for spending so much time, money and enegry for the community.
Even Pappu should be punished for spending too much time on this site wihtout concentrating on his day job.
If you both are logging from SAME company, though you are using different laptop/desktop, the IP address polled will be same for external though you have different IP internally.
If you guys have worked on DC rally, you would have come to know the great spirits of Admin2. One day he called me at 10.30 PM when I was almost sleeping to request me if I can attend an immigration meeting in Princeton University, NJ. I was sleeping and he was making calls. Who would have been benefitted? YOU and ME and NOT Admin2.
There are already several threads with EB3/EB2. All of us have our own day time jobs. Let us knot focus on fighting among ourselves. Let us not even fight with USCIS. What we want is that lawmakers and USCIS should understand our problems and make them realize that US will benefit by giving us GC's and not vice versa.
In the past 2 years, I have just 50 postings. All of them are either confirming calls to law makers or contributions. This I am writing to plead you stop these fightings. We have had enough in the past 2 years.
Thanks for understanding.

I'd be happy if I got a second opinion (my lawyer's is the first) on this issue:
I am ready to file for my AOS(I-485) for the second time based on my employers I-140 petition and would like someone (unitednations ?) to see if there are any possible gotchas.
Chronology
========
#1 May 2001 - Come to US on H1B (California) I-94 valid till Nov 2003
#2 Oct 2001 - Change employers and get a H1 transfer (California) New I-94 valid till Feb 2004
#3 Nov 2002 - Fall in love with an American girl
#4 Dec 2002 - Quit job and move to Michigan to be with girlfriend (Out of status)
#5 March 2003 - Find job in MI, employers lawyer botches my H1 transfer / extension (Out of status)
#6 October 2003 - Fall out with employer and quit.
#7 November 2003 - Marry girlfriend (Out of status)
#8 April 2004 - Wife files I-130/I-485/I-765 (AOS Pending status)
#9 April 2004 - Find a new employer "X" and start working for him
#10 June 2004 - Wife and I have irreconcilable differences and I separate, later file for divorce
#11 June 2004 - "X" petitions for new H1B for me for FY-2005 starting in Oct.
#12 July 2004 - leave US and go back to homeland, get new H1 visa stamped with expiration date of June 2007
#13 Sept. 2004 - Come back to the US with new H1 visa stamp and get new I-94 (exp. June 2007) -----> Fresh start, eh ?
#14 Nov 2004 - Divorce final
#15 Dec 2004 - "X" files Labor RIR EB3. PD is Dec 2004
#16 Dec 2005 - "X" files labor PERM EB2. PD is Dec 2005
#17 Feb 2006 - PERM labor EB2 approved
#18 March 2006 - Voluntarily went to local CIS office and withdrew old I-485. Proof of withdrawal obtained.
#19 June 2006 - EB2 I-140 filed with copy of labor (Still pending) Obtained receipt
#20 Oct 2006 - EB3 labor approved from backlog center
#21 May 2007 - File for 7th year H1B extension
#22 Jun 2007 - EB3 I-140 filed (Still pending). Obtained receipt
#23 Jul 2007 - H1B Extension approved (new I-94 with expiration of Jun 2008)
#24 Jul 2007 - Ready to file I-485 concurrent with EB3 I-140
Since 2004 I have maintained valid non-immigrant status (I think). Will I have any issues with accrual of out of status / unlawful stay based on my actions above ?
As you can see, mine is not a straightforward case.
The million dollar question : Based on my actions in steps #4 thru #10, is there a chance that my new I-485 will be adversely affected ? If so, is there anything that anyone can tell me to remedy/rectify the situation to avoid it ?
Thanks !
My case has some similarities, except marrying an American and divorce, but I was out of status for a long time and I thought there was no hope at all. One of my former clients offered me a job and sponsored my h1 of course. I went home and have my new h1 stamped and came back. I was out of status probably for more than two years. Now, I just got my receipt for July 2 485 application. My PD is April 2006. I'm read people are talking here that when you re-enter on a new h1, your previous out of status "status" will be irrelevant.

Can you publish more stories.... Thanks
I am posting this story sent by a person literally wasting her skills away as an H4 visa holder. I am sure lots of IV members and their spouses can relate to this.....
All those who are suffering like this please consider contributing to IV and we request members to join in doing action alerts, Letters to Editors and participate in forums
Here it goes
I have about 7 years of experience as a project manager in Environmental Engg and a BS from a very reputed school but my visa status doesnt permit me to work. Recently, I had to let go of a wonderful job offer because I didnt have EAD and was not even eligible to apply for H1 work permit, having used up 6 years of H status (the employer was ready to sponsor). That leaves me no option but wait for backlog to be cleared or Plan B- move back home. With retrogression, it would take atleast two more years to get my EAD. That would take away 8 years of my productive time in life. All these 6 years, I have volunteered in different non-profit organisations by developing and maintaining their websites. I am also volunteering in my son's school. We have been paying our taxes, donating to Firemen, Policemen etc. It is frustrating that we are giving to the community and not getting basic work permit in return.
How US will benefit if you remain here (competitiveness angle) -
I have a subtantial work experience and energy which I can put to use if I get to work and contribute to the US economy. Currently all my skills are wasted while the job position I could not fill due to immigration issues remains open for last 5 months.

Thanks for everything you do.
Now every member that had a negative comment towards IV today after noon should be ashamed. There were some harsh criticisms. I've been a member of IV well before the fiasco and have joined the flower campaign and have not one negative thing to say about IV. Excellent job IV (including all supportive members). You rock.

I think there would be a substantial relief if unused visas are reallocated to oversubscribed countries as in 2003/2004.
Also the 'side' flow might help immensely.
As I stated earlier only a US Citizen can petition USCIS for release of information.
All we can do is speculate.
Keep dreaming, dreams do sometimes come true, but dream gods prefer GC holders..

To qualify under Master's you must have COMPLETED ALL requirements on the day you file the H1. Meeting the same POST filing will NOT be considered by USCIS (i.e., case will be denied). Better letter to submit is one coming from REGISTRAR of the school. A simple statement that you met all requirements for MS degree and that the actual diploma will be given on so and so date will suffice.
