    Finally, I understood the purpose of this forum. No, the title is not wrong.

    I understand that you are

    1. explaining retrogression, and
    2. predicting time it will take a person to get GC.

    The above are based on
    1. applications with USCIS, and
    2. USCIS policy to approve GC.

    If this is true, it is the first good idea I have seen here. Alisa for president! (Arnold, California Gov, is working on changing rules for naturalized citizens).

    I have the following suggestions. I will help after I read everything. Give me some time.

    1. Indians are over-represented in IV. Consider the case of a country that is doing better and mention countries that are worst.

    2. Write a short paragraph that goes in IV email sales pitch. This has a URL to this complete report.

    3. This complete report has URL to USCIS data.

    4. We work on similar report (with URLs) on lobbying effort and funding level of anti-immigration organizations.

    USCIS numbers and rules are not the only factors against us. The anti-immigrants are a much bigger factor.

    5. IV email sales pitch has a para with URL on
    a. explaining retrogression (this report).
    b. lobbying effort and funding level of opponents (next report).
    c. IV's experience with legislation.
    d. BEGing for contributions.

    6. KISS principle baby: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Too much gymnastics in IV writeups.

    No one is accusing IV


    I have a question for Paapu and IV?

    WHAT are you all doing? you want our money and our involvement for what?

    FOR THIS? ALSO DONOR FORUM IS FOR THIS?


    Pappu if you cannot run this organization, please close it, but don't ask of any IV non donor to donate (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/#) for the cause, I proposed to you about holding a rally, IT IS A SHAME this organization FAILED to do ANYTHING AFTER 2007.

    ILLEGALS ARE BETTER THAN US, SHAME ON US.

    AND SHAME ON YOU GUYS.

    Is this not called accusing?

    For a rally, we will need several thousands of dollars and 100's of volunteers for several days. I am from NJ. We know how much we struggled to get even half bus filled for 2007 rally.

    If you are so seiuos about a rally, start a poll how many are willing to attend on a week day and how much each will contribute Monetarily as well as time and effort.

    I found the forum by chance and didn't realize there was more to this website until a while after I signed up. On second thought look at my sign up date, I think I'll just let you old timers battle this one out.

    I am neither taking shots at you nor pointing fingers at you. Its not about old timers or new comers. I hope it will not take for ever for you to be convinced that your favorite website needs contributions from every one

    I am in for this. Is this something that can be a planned effort rather than a impulsive exercise?

    I think we should -
    1) Wait till this session of the Congress gets over.
    2) Form a work group that will chalk out the plan (of efforts).
    3) Execute the planned efforts.

    Efforts could include things like -
    1) Discussing the proposal with supporting Senators like Zoe Lofgren.
    2) Making conscious efforts to publicize our woes and genuine issues / conditions.
    3) Quantify the benefits of our presence - in evidence of a quantified evidence, idiots like Loo Dog, etc. can't refute that much.
    4) Talk to organizations like Lazaras (or some org.) form a more cosmopolitan group including Chinese and others as well.
    5) Letter campaign in mass to all Congressmen's offices telling them the sad story about waiting for 8-10 years.
    6) Any other efforts that CORE comes up with.

    Planned & focused efforts always yield desired results... I believe so.

    Others, please chime in.
    -A.

    A,

    There are some of us at this thread that are trying to address the latest retrogression and highlight USCIS inefficiency at this thread:

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21340&page=2

    Could we get together and put together our grievances? My letter to the Ombudsman (pending editing and re-writing) focuses on the random nature of approvals and the back and forth movements of the Visa Bulletin.

    Please comment!!

    Thanks.

    In the time it took you to write all this up, mayb you coudl have enlightened a senator or two...

    I think atleast the forums section should be made restricted to contributing members. I see many newcomers (both paying and freebies) come to this site and hoping to get a quick guidence on their immigration issue. They come here becasue they know a) they will get some answer quickly b) that answer will make sense and experinced users here who have gone through similar situation will share their insights.

    Those are major outcomes or results for not paying any dime.

    I can understand someone's concern about asking everyone to pay certain amount. But most of us here are earning decent wages and can contribute atleast 3$ a month (or 25$ a year) for such a service.

    If those members want to contribute more as many of us do then they are most welcome to do so.

    In $$$ terms of the 12K + members we can retain 40% (about 5K) and each of them contributes atleast 25$ a year (one time payment) = $75,000.00

    Remember this $75K is only based on basic membership fees. Any dropouts or reduced rate of conversion will be compensated by those '20$ a month' paying members (roughly by 1 as to 10).

    In short, I support this idea of having majority of forums under restricted umbrella.

    Just posted this reply at http://www.numbersusa.com/helpform

    Hello,

    I happened to come across your fax initiative "Ask your Members of Congress to oppose the SKIL Act H-1B increases".

    Seems like you have got many facts wrong.
    I'm surprised that an advocacy group as yours would try to make statements that would dilute your own credibility.

    Below are some corrections,

    "(1) The six-year visas allow foreign workers to bring in their families, and guarantee thousands of anchor babies."

    The above statement is a matter of perspective. People can still come on visitor visas and have babies here.In any case, I personally do know of people who have gone back to their own countries to have their babies.

    "(2) H-1B salaries are tax-exempt - no FICA, no federal or state income taxes. They can live at the same level as tax-paying Americans at a lower cost. Therefore, Congress allows foreigners to "low-ball" American workers."

    The above statement in COMPLETELY incorrect.
    Everyone on H1-B is required to pay federal, state, medicaid, Social Security and other taxes that any other native employee would pay.
    On the other hand, H1-B employees dont stand to gain from the Social Security when they relocate back to their country after 6 years.

    (3) H-1Bs can leave the job they came to fill and seek other jobs, not necessarily in the "hard to fill" category.

    This is incorrect too.H1-B requires labor clearance and specific skills, even for h1-b transfers.

    (4) Most H-1Bs are of a "protected" ethnic group, so H-1Bs have an affirmative action preference when competing with Americans for the same jobs.

    You got to be kidding.There is no such thing.
    I would appreciate it if you can quote any official source of this info.


    Well,I'm sure that the well versed senators and congressmen will be aware of these facts, and you are only losing you own credibility with them.
    The trust will be out soon.

    Sincerely.
    XXXXX

    I am employed with a company and I work for a client through a preferred vendor. I am in a slightly difficult situation. I would like to do AC21 with the vendor and negotiate for more. This might irk the vendor and he could in turn tell my employer about this. I cannot put in my papers with my employer without having an offer from the vendor in hand. I cannot join the client directly because of hiring freeze.

    My question is, if due to the above exercise my employer cancels my H1, will I be immediately be out of status, does having EAD means that I will be in status even if my H1 is cancelled?.. How much time will I have to join a new employer using EAD if my H1 is cancelled or revoked.?.

    Thanks,

    Your vendor is desi guy?
    I have never seen vendor informing the employer.
    You are ok even if he cancels ur H1.

    Pappu, Others:

    My lawyer confirmed they were "unable to" include the Employment Verification Letter along with the AOS/ EAD/ AP packet that was submitted in time to reach USCIS on July 2.

    What are my options now? If you have any insight please let me know.

    I was wondering about doing one or both of the following two things:
    1. Send Employment Verification Letter even before Receipt Notice is received for I-485. This is likely to be lost in the mess that it is now, but does not hurt trying!
    2. Prepare and send another I-485 with all documents including Employment Verification Letter. Even if this is not recommended by some lawyers, I would think this is better than simply relying on the "common" practice of issuing an RFE instead of outright rejecting the I-485.

    Thanks!

    We sent out a newsletter last night and out of 8400 emails, we have nearly 250 bounced back.

    Emails like a@abc.com are obviously bogus emails.

    See, I can understand the reason for that, you dont want spam. But we send out newsletter less than 2-3 times a month. And we dont sell information.


    Send them PM and track them when they are logged.

    IV newsletter is NOT spam. It is VERY good cause for the recipient. You have to be more aggressive.

    MSG TO THE NEWS MEDIA
    Please note that this site is visited by approximately 400-500 regular visitors daily. Though the sample size is here small but the idea is compelling and the potential is very real
    Some of the statistics can be found at http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/PERM_Data_FY07_Announcement.pdf


    Green card process overview:
    Stage 1: Labor Certification (or the PERM process) => Government scrutinize that qualified citizens are not available to perfom the "highly skilled" job.
    Stage 2: I-140 stage=> Government scrutnize that the person for which immigrant visa is sought is elligible and the company has ability to pay his salary
    Stage 3 : I-485 or Adjustment of status : Now the immigrant waits for the visa number to be available and adjust his status to that of a permanent resident.

    Most of us are in stage 3.


    We are stuck in stage 3 waiting because of very small immigration quota's that were set decades ago which are completely out of line with real supply-demand for the size of todays high-tech workforce. In addition USCIS inefficiency has resulted in them not utilizing even this tiny quota fully, in the past few years.
    Getting a mortgage is a lot easier if our immigration status is permanent. In this final stage of immigration most of us have work authorization that needs to be renewed every year, and mortgage/Finance companies dont accept that.

    Futher reading on our proposal to the government: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16506

    .

    MSG TO THE POLL PARTICIPANTS
    Objective of this poll:
    a) To assess if the idea has any strength
    b) Invite media attention to the issue
    c) Develop a task force to float this idea around.

    Folks, even if 10% of us ended up buying a house, that is 100,000 more buyers in the market.
    Some of us had their mortgage application rejected on the grounds that EAD is valid for only one year, even though their credit history, down payment, income stability are upto the mark.

    The recent movement in EB2 have been contributed to the spillover from EB2 ROW. That raises a question over the spill over rules. The EB2 ROW spill over should have helped EB3 ROW. But EB3 ROW is not yet C, however EB2-I moved up. If the spillover happens at the same level, then EB3-I may have hope in the future when EB3-ROW becomes C. Is such an assumption right or wrong?

    Spillover is not handled within category: It is handled from top preference to lower preference. Spillover pattern is as under. It is circular and cyclic with broken link from EB3 to EB4.

    Just for a reference read "EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCES" on following bulletin link.

    http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4177.html

    So legal pattern for spillover is as under.
    --------------------------------------

    EB1 -> EB2
    EB1->EB2 -> EB3. ( This is legally defined but never happens as EB2 has a
    larger demand.)
    EB4->EB1

    Note: Nothing goes from EB3 to any category and practical reality is that
    nothing extra comes to EB3 as EB2 is always hungry:)

    In April what happened was not "really a Spillover, the loose term what we use on this board" but the use of Section "D. INDIA EMPLOYMENT SECOND PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY" in the bulletin.

    USCIS found that EB2-ROW seems to be having less applicants against "total number of visas which can be granted this year" so if it does not use them then will be wasted. So USCIS again checked the database and found that EB2-India seems to be having considerable load so it decided to divert those numbers for EB2-India. USCIS can do that as per mentioned section and for such kind of awards "per country limit" is not applicable and that is perfectly legal.

    I have been in different states and this drivers licence rule differ substantially. California / florida strictly goes with your H1b validity date. For H4, it is much more difficult and my wife did not get it in CA but somehow managed ot get it in FL. When I moved to wisconsin, they gave me 3+years over my H1b validity date and also for my wife. The entire DMV process took us 5 mins whereas in FL, we stood in line from morining 3 am till evening 5pm and eventually got appointment for next day. When I asked about this in WI DMV, they said Wisconsin does not follow this and they are not aware of this.

    If financial institutions are following govt regulations, does it mean that Govt mandated this against h1b? One of those gimmicks where a H1b is subject to difficulty like obtaining driver lisence etc...is this the same gimmick to legally give hardship to h1b?

    Can someone clarify to our needy members the difference between employment verification letter and employment offer letter please try to understand EVL is not neccesary if you can produce latest payslips from the Employer who sponsored your GC but employment offer letter is very important from the same Employer who sponsored your GC.

    Where is anything said about an offer letter/ payslips?

    Here is what the instructions for I-485 application form say:

    Employment Letter.

    If your adjustment of status application is related to an employment based visa petition (Form I-140), you must submit a letter on the letterhead of the petitioning employer which confirms that the job on which the visa petition is based is still available to you. The letter must also state the salary that will be paid.

    first of thanks a lot for taking time and explaining this in detail.

    so if i understand it correctly, I have applied in jul2007 and entered on h1 on dec2007. if i get my gc in 2012. I can not be out of status for more than 6 months between dec 2007 to whenever 2012. So if i start using EAD i need to make sure i have a job almost all the time.

    RFE which was posted is clearly looking for past employment history. If W2 shows that in year 2009 i made 40k and my labor cert was for 80K it will be a problem.
    assuming u r getting RFE in future. this realy is crazy.

    3) HOWEVER, you can start a NEW Thread ONLY IF you are a PAID member (the minimum fee should be $10 - $20)


    How is it different from my idea?
