Noticed you joined in September 2007, and this is your 5th post. Welcome to IV!
Were you present at the rally? I'm guessing you weren't.
IV represents high-skilled, educated, professionals - most of us don't expect to see major changes happen overnight. We do not expect the United States Congress, or the Senate, or the White House to fall in love with our cause instantly and issue us green cards by the weekend!
Nevertheless, the process of educating lawmakers, the media, and the country should continue.
The rally was just another step, albeit a significant one. It's symbolism isn't lost on anyone who attended. A significant number of meetings were held on lobby day.
cheers!

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.
Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...
Question remains open:
1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?
I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............

Ugh, I paid thousands to the lawyer over the years. And the medical was a ripoff. They better send me a free pass for 30 days at some nude bar with my green card or...I'll just have to go there anyways to celebrate:p

I guess most of the folks here are busy preparing to apply for 485. I have different problem here.
My employer's attorney is charging me outrageous fees of around $5000 to
apply for 485, AP and EAD for me and my spouse. This excludes USCIS fees. I work on hourly basis, so I should be taking care of immigration fees. My employer is not allowing me to file through another law firm.
Do I have any other options. How much do they charge usually.
Get a approval notice for I-140 and file I-485 urself, if I-140 not approved then get the receipt number and file urself

Here are the answers...
When did you receive the receipt notice?
Yesterday from my Lawyer.
Did your checks get cleared?
I believe YES, required checks were issue from the law firm's account, No personal.
What was your receipt date on the notice?
Receipt Date is July 09th (I confirmed Online).
Thanks,
NisarS
######
what is this? there are delivered date and received date with received date before the delivered date. How can they receive before the delivery. Hmmm Did USCIS guys ran early morning 4 O Clock to UPS/ FED-EX/ ETC to receive the app before those guys attempted to deliver :) Even if someone says, "YES", there was 6 days difference between those two days. No idea what USCIS is doing.
Got Receipt
Application Received on : 07/03/2007
Agency : Nebraska
Status : Delivered on 07/09/2007
Case: EB3-India Jan 2004
Returned/Rejected : Accepted, got Receipt # LIN xxx-xxx-xxxx.

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?

I support this campaign too. Setting up a consular appointment and the anxiety that goes with not knowing whether the visa is granted despite having an approval is a stressful experience.

Sbdol,
Our goal from these meetings is simple: to get the issue on the radar.
Remember usually when lawmakers/lawmaker district office staff hear "immigration" they think "illegal immigration." Our presentation is usually the beginning of their education -- we have no expectation that they have "deep" or any knowledge of the nitty gritty.
All we want is that they send our material to their Immigration aide in DC, and recognize that there is an issue out there.
BTW, sbdol what volunteer team are you on?
best,
Berkeleybee

I am not totally sure but this is how my husband earns his pdus..he is a volunteer in the local PMI chapter and he also presents some Project management papers. Also the local Chapter will have some monthly meetings or networking meetings where you can earn PDUs. He is also teaching PMI classes through the chapter. All these without any costs. So find a local chapter in your city and that should help you.

I don't know why some people here are taking this work based immigration here as an all out war. As it is, working and staying in the US or any other country for that matter by foreigners is a priviledge, not a right. No one forced us to come here, we came here on our own free will.
Regarding the description of discrimination of job based on country, that's rather ridiculous. There is no discrimination when one has the right to work and live in the country, that doesn't mean that anyone from any country can just come here and work with or without authorization and say it's discrimination. How about the many Indian companies who hire only Indians? Aren't they practising discrimination and fraud? They don't even bother to try to find qualified people in the country, rather they just issue H1Bs right way to Indian nationals only by just declaring a bogus "can't find qualified people in the country"
If we want good things to happen to us, we should be fair and not misuse and violate the laws of the country. We all have a choice, we can either stay here and be honest and follow the laws and rules of the country, or if we don't like the way things are here we can just go back home.
Sorry to be so honest, but I am tired of every other person cribbing about being victims. Looks like everyone wants to be a victim of something, it's time we take personal responsibility. If we don't like it here in the US, we have the choice to go back home. No one is forcing us to stay here.
Thanks.
Seriously I agree with you 90%. We should follow the rules and there are definitely companies and persons abusing the system. And these type of persons sometimes themselves were once immigrants waiting for green cards.
The 10% that I do not agree with is associated with the reality of working in a country for so long (6 or 7 years) but still not getting the green cards.
You are right that nobody force you to come here. But you decison to come here is based on certain assumptions (such as getting a green card within a reasonable timeframe and in an orderly way). But because of the chaos of the whole green card thing right now, you may not be able to get your green cards within a reasonable timeframe that you had planned, not because you screwed up (say changing the employer or making a huge mistake in your work). Rather it was either your employer or those government agencies screwed you up. I think it is really the chaotic situation, where honest, hard-working people who patienly wait in line are not getting what they deserve, that make people mad.
Everyone probably can think of many examples of such "unfairness". Truth is that the situation has come to a boiling point that people can hardly stand any more, esp. when the July VB fiasco happened.
To go one step further on your point, the whole world should have a better understanding and expectation of employment-based immigration to America. When the fact is out, it is really up to the indivdual to make an informed decision without complainting.

yesetrday on CNN, AC 360, there were two latino ladies (US Citizens) and they kept saying that this bill is illegal and should be vetoed.
All latinos want other latinos to come to USA and have the numbers/political influence to get them GC's via amnesty before legal immigrants.
None of those ladies said they did not support illegal immigration, they just kept ranting about racial profiling.

As much as I would like this bill to become law, the fact is it "Won't". The reason being the terms laid out in this bill are way to general, which will enable anyone who has done Masters from US to get a green card. Think about it, the amount of competition it will raise for both US citizens and other immigrants.
At this point, I am very skeptical about this bill gaining any success in the future, however we should focus our efforts on the recapture bill.
Thanks

While I do not condone all practices of these big companies: coz of them many ppl sitting in India will have a H-1 and may never come here but me and some of my friends who have been working hard as students here (doing B.S. from a very reputed school, that still doesn't help be cap exempt) shall likely be left out.
But, I do see racism in all this H-1B talk, lets face it: these are means to control (mostly) Asian immigration, I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue at all if H-1B was not the 'brown man's' visa to America.
PS: Just my 2 cents, no offense intended to anyone of any color.
