Totoro: I really liked the way you alone initiated and handled the fight against Stimulate Package - ITIN issue. You can be a true leader and helpful in many way to this/any community. People like you can make difference in people's lives.
There are so many issues we are facing as a community. Let's pick top 3 ( OR 5 )for you to discuss with them. If there is any room, you can discuss least imp. issues as well.
Issue NO 1: Retrogression / Backlog for EB3/EB2
How to solve it ?
- Visa Recapture
- Saving visa by not issuing visas to applicant who are not current as per "Processing Times' Currently, CIS is approving many I-485s with PDs having currant but are not currant as per ' Processing Times'. 'Processing Times' needs to be respected. This will save huge number of visa for retrogressed countries.
- Buying Visa for dependants and not counting towards annual cap. ( Easy way to reduce backlog - more than 50% visa would be saved. Will solve problem in 1-2 years. No other action required.)
- Removing per country limit.( Requires changes in law - tough task/long shot.)
- Buy a house and get a GC idea ( its been widely discussed in media ...)
- Any more suggestion ?
-
Issue NO: 2 Allowing people to file I-485 /EAD/AP even their PD is not current. - MUST BE DONE.
Let's help these guys who can't file I-485/EAD as their PDs are not current. These are the people who are likely to suffer most in case of a job loss/visa issue. Even, their LCA/ I-140s are approved, it will become useless if they get fired/companies run some in problems etc. which can happen to any one in current times. Personally, I say - this should be our priority - can be fixed easily. It would also attract them to join us. A dying soldier saves other first.
Issue NO: 3
Issue NO : 4
Issue No - 5 Allowing work-permit for H4/dependants ( Not that important but will change lives for many)
Issue No - 6 AC21 - Helps greatly to individuals in tough times in maintaining their status. Any further modifications for AC21 ?
You mentioned Stimulus package and ITIN issue, as I remember people with spouses having ITIN didn't get any rebate...

did u e-mail them this week?Is ur application registered in their system....I mailed mine on 25th and it was delivered on 26th and I am wondering when it would be in their system???
Yes and also I contacted them via phone.
One lady picked up and told me that my application was not reigstered and it might be in return mail..She said recently they are sending the application back if the photos come as black when scanned using their scanner. She told me to contact mail room but no luck in reaching them..Its always busy and going to voice mail..
i've sent another email about mail room contact..I've got response and asked my number and the rep will ask the mail room to contact me directly....I'm hoping to hear from them..

Answers in GREEN
Thanks for the post, i am interested too, i am not a pattern day trader but a normal trader as of now.
Could you please post how this has affected your tax return filings, do we need to do something extra while filing tax returns if one is a pattern day trader?
Whatever you earn from Trading is taxable as your earned income. On the flip side if you ve made losses there is a provision for some tax deduction as well . Contact a good Tax consultant
I believe that I will pay tax only if I earn and I will definately earn more than I pay tax
Also it suggest that there should be minimum equity balance of 25K, are they referring to the value of stocks...
Yes for day trading you need 25k but you dont need to have 25 k . For starters I trade something where I buy EOB today and sell off SOB(START) of business tommorow
I recommed reading day trading concept at wiki I will post some rules as well as ways to trade like PDT with a smaller account
Yes as you said i too was thinking about it, there is only so much one can earn because in my situation i cannot shift employer, nor does the current one pay me enough or is willing too, so we all must look at alternate sources of income (but take our own risk and decision)....
Welcome aboard friend same situation here
I started trading with sharebuilder recently.... and they did give me a 50$ coupon to start with...
Thats great ...I know a few trading sites offering very cheap trading fees
As pappu said, yes we need to share such info with our fellow folks so that everyone gets benefitted and if we make money we can contribute atleast a small part of it to IV.... (win-win for all).
There is so much information to share....

06/20/2006: Eerie Silence on Immigration in Beltway and Our Report Policy
* Washington, D. C. is usually a center and sources of news for government policies, including legislation, that determines our lives. This is particularly true with the immigration. Nowadays, however, the Beltway is eeriely silent on immigration both at the level of legislation and at the level of government agencies. Obviously, this is a hot summer and vacation season. Besides, every issue is poised to the midterm national election. But this is somewhat unusual.
* Under the circumstances, this web site considers any discussion of comprehensive immigration reform legislation pointless and we will cease our review and discussion on this issue on our site at least for awhile. We have thus removed the Q&A for S. 2611. We have decided that we would rather review some complicated immigration issues that most of immigrants face day in and day out regardless of the activities in the Beltway.
* As for the ongoing policies and practices of the government agencies, we expect that the representatives from these agencies in the AILA National Conference in San Antonio will be able to supply to the thirsty mouth of immigrants drops of waters. This reporter will report the news from San Antonio conference site from tomorrow. There are some hot issues which the immigrant community hopes to learn as to the agencies' future direction and timelines. Sometimes, these officials wait and break certain news at the AILA National Conferences each year. We will wait and see what those news could be. Please stay tuned to this website for the "Washington Update" report by this reporter from San Antonio.

Thank you everyone for contributing. You are not only making this effort and organization strong, but also give core members confiidence that we can count on you and feel honored to represent commited members like you.
We all share the same plight and it is a struggle for all of us. I urge you to be part of this struggle and sign up for monthly contributions. It s very critical for the success of this community of which you are also a member.
At this point it may be better to understand how much do you need in next three months. Getting a committment for $20 contribution in April or June is of no use if we can't meet, let's say, 20% of our need in Jan.

Some of members in Nor. Cal are checking their schedule to make sure they can participate in the August San Francisco event.
Hopefully, we should have some more ppl sign-up
That is great news!! I am excited to hear that we will be getting the support of NorCal Members.
Team IV has reached a membership of 27 members as of today. I have several more to confirm by this weekend.
That is nearly $9000 in fundraising efforts that we can target! $9000 may not be much, but it can be put to good use for lobbying of new bills, especially the three new bills introduced recently for highly skilled legal immigrants pending GCs.
Go Team IV

I am in the same situation. My attorney advised me to have one with my name if possible. I scanned mine and my wife's Birth certificate and sent it to my Dad in India. He said that he will get the original in 2 days. Looks like it is a straight forward process. You could just send it with a copy of ur passport.
P.S: They would need the copies to be notarized before taking it to corporation or municipality
you didnt understand my question. I do not have a birth certificate at all. in this case, what document should I use? thats the question.

imh1b and snathan....i respectfuly request that you'll refrain from calling anyone names....there is no need to call people fool/drunk/moron. I am quite sure youll are educated professionals that can think of better ways to make your argument.
bitzbytz was merely suggesting ideas...no reason to diss them...unless you have tried these yourself and have statistical proof that it won't work in other cities in the country.
bitzbytz....so say you need convincing...fine...what questions do you have about IV?
As you can see its an organisation of volunteers...and there is no PR department :)
IV's main goal is to clear the green card backlog...do you share this goal and believe in it? if yes...then contribute...even if you fully don't agree with how IV operates or responds
As you are well aware there are not too many organisations pursuing this cause so you can either help this one...or sit back and hope that one day Lawmakers will out of the goodness of their hearts do the right thing...lol you know that ain't gonna happen...with IV you have a bunch of others co-ordinating towards pushing Lawmakers for change
StarSun...i'll help with both the tasks you mentioned. My lawyer already gives free advice in several LA univs so he might be interested in this.
My questions...says he is interested...what does he have to do to participate....is there a number to call for the conference call....or a special link where he has to go to join the chat? which thursday of the month is he needed...is this fixed or does it change every month?
To be honest i never visit the forum page unless i need to search for something and thats very rare....can we put up a link or an Icon with a tiny banner advertising the free lawyer phone call on the home page?
I am not sure if you are part of the campaign for 'Filing for I-485 when PD is not current'. We have explored all these ideas and even we put flyers all over the Indian restaurants and grocery shops. But not much happened. Even I have personally called people around five - six times and asked people to support. Though they are languishing in the GC line, they couldn�t find any time to visit IV. What would you call a person when he is saying for various reasons not to meet the law maker�s staff in their local office? They are able to find various reasons for not to meet but couldn�t find even a single reason and time to meet once but still questioning others work/ effort. Are they just making fun of us or do they just think they are doing a favor for others?
If one genuinely interested to work on the issues there are various ways to do that. Sitting and complaining about others is not going to help but just irritate others

With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.
I started discussion by asking , how can IV convince me that my donation is going to help, I got shot down by ARROGANT ******** and got all reds as if I care. I was planning on a charity/donation drive of my own to get some money for IV.
Know lot of consultants, who really dont know what to do with their miles with every one a executive airline status.
Already have 10+ people pledging Poker tournament from my poker group with their miles for Airlines and hotels. We are talking of a Million AA miles.
Indian restaurants(s) having a Immigration week where a dollar of each bill be given to IV.
I was even thinking of standing at Indian stores in Dallas to ask people to consider for IV cause, as long as I believed and hence was asking.
I was just getting started with so many ideas for my free time.
Good luck in what ever you do guys. Note that GC is not everything and note that I am still on extended H1, family on H1 and EAD never helped me. so assumption that EAD helped my life is baseless. All these hypocrites are long gone from IV once they get GC. All we get is response that Mr X or Y , even after getting GC, is working fro cause. How can I believe.
Any organization can be successful if there are questions answered and not shot down. Just working at DC doesnt make some one a strong contributor for IV.Work at grass root level is so imp. What I have noticed is any one who went to DC has become headstrong, egoist and arrogant as if they own IV.
Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one
Gisa pita dialogue,...dont ask what IV has done,, ask yourself what you have done... COMMON
Here it is, I can write in BOLD and RED
Your argument doesn�t make sense at all. All are lame excuses at best. If you want to see what people are doing, you need to start work with people, see and believe. We cannot give you the notarized copy of certificate. You cannot sit on the fence and ask people to convince. As I said earlier no one is getting paid for what we are doing and no one is doing any favor for others either.
Dont waste everyone's time with your useless arguments. If you really want to do something, start the campaign for whatever you believe and if its really worth people will follow you.

Immigration Voice is proud to announce the launch of Team IV, the walking/running club of Immigration Voice.
The goal of Team IV is to raise awareness about the issues faced by highly skilled legal immigrants in the communities we live in and garner support from fellow Legal Immigrants and US Citizens to further IV’s cause.
Team IV
The Walking/Running Club of Immigration Voice
See the list of Current Team IV Members (Updated 7/1/08): http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=259354&postcount=416
Mission
Team IV is the walking/running club of Immigration Voice. Team IV’s Mission is to raise awareness for the issues faced by Legal Immigrants and to promote a sense of community by participation in walking/running events throughout the U.S.
Team IV’s goal is to have over 150 members and raise at least $45,000 to support Immigration Voice and help prevent childhood obesity in the United States.
Join Team IV
Team IV members will be working towards accomplishing the following goals:
1. Raise awareness of Immigration Voice within our local communities and on a national stage.
2. Accomplish personal goals of walking/running short to long distance walks/runs and lead a healthy lifestyle.
3. Build a professional network of Team IV members across the country.
4. Support fundraising efforts of Immigration Voice for future lobbying efforts.
5. Help fight childhood obesity by partnering with a not for profit organization The Alliance For A Healthier Generation whose mission is to prevent childhood obesity in the United States.
Team IV Benefits
Team IV members will receive tips and guidance from Personal Trainers via the Team IV Blog site at http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/. Team IV members will also get a T Shirt and fundraising ideas/materials to reach their pledge goals.
Check out our Blog: http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/ (Also look for Tips of the Day on this blog from your Team Captain)
Team IV is not an individual event! We strongly encourage family members to join us, which is why we have two membership types: Individual and Family. The Individual Membership has an annual fee of $50 while the Family Membership has a $75 yearly fee. The Fundraising goal of the Individual Membership is $300/member per year, while that of the Family Membership is $500 per Family per year. These very nominal fundraising goals can be reached by one of more fundraising initiatives done by individual members or working together in small groups.
Team IV Events
Each Team IV Member will pledge to participate in at least one of the following three events. Participation includes walking, jogging or running any distance at one of the three Team IV events listed below. Team IV Members are responsible for registration at these events.
Golden Gate Park Cross Country 5K – San Francisco – August 17, 2008
Rediscovery 10K and 1 mile - Washington DC - October 19, 2008
Houston Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K – January 18, 2009
How To Join Team IV.
In Order to join Team IV, please send an e-mail to TeamIV@yahoo.com or send a Private Message to NolaIndian32 at www.ImmigrationVoice.org to receive a Membership Form. The Membership Form will be e-mailed to you.
=================
Note: This effort is endorsed by IV and NolaIndian 32 will lead this effort.

Team IV Benefits
Team IV members will receive tips and guidance from Personal Trainers via the Team IV Blog site at http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/. Team IV members will also get a T Shirt and fundraising ideas/materials to reach their pledge goals.
Check out our Blog: http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/ (Also look for Tips of the Day on this blog from your Team Captain)
Team IV is not an individual event! We strongly encourage family members to join us, which is why we have two membership types: Individual and Family. The Individual Membership has an annual fee of $50 while the Family Membership has a $75 yearly fee. The Fundraising goal of the Individual Membership is $300/member per year, while that of the Family Membership is $500 per Family per year. These very nominal fundraising goals can be reached by one of more fundraising initiatives done by individual members or working together in small groups.
Team IV Events
Each Team IV Member will pledge to participate in at least one of the following three events. Participation includes walking, jogging or running any distance at one of the three Team IV events listed below. Team IV Members are responsible for registration at these events.
Golden Gate Park Cross Country 5K – San Francisco – August 17, 2008
Rediscovery 10K and 1 mile - Washington DC - October 19, 2008
Houston Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K – January 18, 2009

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.
You don't contribute for FOIA. You don't want to accept that FOIA will help us. Thats your decision. IV does a lot things both in public and behind the scenes. All of this require money and time. You haven't contributed in past either. You come to IV and write post like these to make yourself feel better thinking you are doing something for your GC process. Fact is you are not helpful yourself. IV is nothing but people like you and me who are in the line for GC.
For a new action I would like you to lead it. You should meet your local law makers. Tell your personal story about the GC struggle. Ask them to bring up recapture and other bills which will help us. Then work with other people on the IV forum as well as in real world to do same.
