Leo ...you are right, paid membership will drive away ...members who are selfish and got used to free food around ..Let them leave IV ...Paid member ship will stop enemies of immigration to think before posting or registering ..
Lets do it .. make it Paid membership ..This a noble cause ..IV is a non profit organization ..We need dollars to proceed ..
We have to target democrats more aggressively !!

Reading the thread it seems like there are a few steps being dicussed here:
1. Hunger Strike
2. Go the court way for failure of visa spillovers
3. Letters, Faxes etc etc.
4.. I am missing something that someone can add.
I am wondering if hunger strike will work. First of all hunger strike is useless unless its heavily publicized. For publicity we will need to be at Washington (maybe not )and strike for atleast a week before we get any publicity. That means risking physical health as well as professional life. Moreover we will need a large number of people to make news. It has to be a well publicized and a successful strike. It will surely have more impact than the rally.
I suggest writing one letter everyday to white house and to USCIS. If thousands of us write two letters a day everyday to President and USCIS it wont cost us much and it will be a continuous effort till we come out with a more substantial effort like a rally or hunger strike.
Feel free to blast my ideas and suggest others.
Lets be all a part of the core team and not get an opportunity to say that the core team is not doing enough

frustrated2007,
Thanks for the info, In that case my firms tax returns show healthy net assets , lot more than the proofered wage. But I am still worried about the previous americandesi post about requiring Audited Financial statements to show net assets. I don't think my company will spare the time and money to prepare audited financials.
Please read page 2 of Yates memo (Refer link). The Initial evidence "Annual report", "Tax return", and "Audited financial statement" map to "Employment of the beneficiary", "Net income" and "Net current assets" respectively.

Since they will be a party to this along with you it is better you talk to them and make sure they assist you properly. Also was your insurance at that time conforming to state minimum requirements if that is the case then you can breathe easy since you had done everything that law asked you to do so hopefully there is no criminal case against you. Worst if court ask's you to pay financially you can declare bankruptcy and minimize the impact. I am sure that does not affect GC. But rather than forum you need a good attorney to talk to. Make sure who ever you select to talk to about this accident case you arrange a meeting between this lawyer and your immigration lawyer so that both are well aware of situation.

DOL should not have given this advance notice, I am sure that all Desi consulting companies now aware of this rule will try to sell of their approved labors before April and approved labors will be available even in vegetable market.
There is lot of chance they would do this, and unfortunately we cannot avoid that, lets counter this by creating awareness among our members and GC seeker's community of how much risk involved in buying an approved labor at this time.
Contributed 300$ TO IV.

akred, Thank you for helping to promote this petition. I think that when we have enough signatures we must also release this letter in parallel to media outlets while we send it to CNN execs. This will make the folks at CNN more answerable to this petition. However in order to do this we require the backing of IV core and utilize their contacts with the media. An individual like you and me can only go so far. Backing of IV core will provide us with maximum traction to evince response from CNN.
Signed.

Yes, that is right, I said �plight of EB2-India�.
I am a passive observer of these forums. But some of the ridiculous notions floating around here have motivated me to vent. First and foremost, the law as written is highly favorable to people in EB3 categories, even from India. Here is how...
Take my example (and there are thousands like myself)....came to the US 8 years ago, spent 5 years working day and night to earn a PhD on a low (barely sustainable) stipend, got FIRST job saw decent money for the first time 6 years after I came.
Now, compare this to a person working an EB3-job for the last 8 years. Not only does this person do a real job that hopefully provides a respectable income but this person also has the option of moving to EB2 after 5 years of experience. So, at the end of the day in 2008; this person comes out ahead of me in terms of money, in terms of priority date (if ported) and most likely in terms of GC.
There are complaints all over the forum which have the stink of pretentiousness such as �oh..i am a poor EB3 waiting for n number of years� etc etc. What you guys seem to forget is that YOU are NOT an EB3, it is your JOB that is EB3. You have all the opportunities that were/are available to a person who sweated it out in the university system here to gain more qualifications and get an EB2 job. You CHOSE not to. The general discussion seems to center around cribbing about the US immigration system (Immigration by the way is a privilege defined by laws, not a birthright) and then blaming the EB2 crowd when they finally see the system implement the law as intended in the first place (horizontal spillover rules).
All these posts that refer to �my career is over because my gc is delayed� are nothing but a pathetic excuse. Law of supply and demand....if you have a skillset that is valuable, you will be fine with or without GC anywhere in the world. It takes a bunch of documents to remain here legally, all you need is a passport to go back if the system here seems so bad.
For all the attacks that are bound to happen, here is the fodder.....this is probably my first and last post, I haven�t contributed a dime to IV, will work here as long as I like it and if not, India is a great country and provides enough opportunities for any skillset !!
I feel education should be rewarded (Every where). High skilled should get prefference.
chaanakya may be you should consider putting your words in soft intangiable worlds...

and you dont need 15 sponsors for a bill. and having 3 sponsors does not weaken the merit of a bill. in fact most bills would only have less than 10 cosponsors.
And it was in the democrats' rule that the last EB favored legislation was passed.

Right TRACK Act
KENNEDY PUTS FORTH PLAN TO JUMPSTART AMERICAN COMPETITIVENESS
Gives Major Address On Turning Era of Globalization into a New Era of Opportunity for America
Boston, MA�Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy was at Northeastern University to deliver a major address on his plan to reinvest in America's competitiveness and turn around damaging impact of the global economy. He was joined by President Richard Freeland, business leaders, students and educators to share his ideas of how to this country back on track.
Kennedy argues that our nation is at a crossroads: we can continue to be buffeted by the harsh winds of the global economy or we can think anew, and guide the currents of globalization with a new progressive vision that strengthens America and equips our citizens to move competitively to the future. He believes that we cannot advance forward by continuing down the same path of the last five years that put special interests over America's interests by cutting back on investments in education, invention, and innovation, as the Administration has done.
He said, "The 20th century was widely hailed as the American century is up for grabs. No nation is guaranteed a future of lasting prosperity. We have to work for it. We have to sacrifice for it. We must open new doors and new avenues for all Americans to make the most of their God-given talents and rekindle the fires of innovation in society. By doing so, we can turn this era of globalization into a new era of opportunity for America."
Senator Kennedy proposed a plan to move the country forward and to restore America's advantage in the workforce, education, health care and research and development. As he outlined it he said, "The essence of the American Dream is the ability to provide a better life for yourself and your family. At its very heart are a good job, first-class education, good health care, and a secure retirement. Some say the dream is out of reach in today's global economy. But I'm here today to tell you it doesn't have to be that way. We can revitalize the American Dream. "
Senator Kennedy's bill, the Right TRACK Act (The Right Time to Reinvest in America's Competitiveness) seeks to:
1) Create high quality jobs
2) Educate Americans to fill the jobs of the future
3) Preserve good jobs in the US
4) Level the Playing field for US workers and businesses abroad
5) Help those harmed by globalization, workers and communities
6) Modernize U.S. Labor and Employment Laws

I agree with you. But the reality is you can find only 300-400 people out of 1000s to come forward for any kind of fight. Let it be contribution, send flowers or demonstration.
I don't know why but we tend to be satisfied with lsmall benefits...
I agree with you "something (EAD and AP) is better than nothing"
But i bet you ..you will find your self in the same situation of agony and endless waiting for the final Green card.
I bet most of the people don't use your ead and AP as it puts you in a gray "Adjustment of status". They are good to have though. But you will see...how painful it is to decide to use them or not..
What i want to say is that being able to apply for EAD and AP is not the end of the battle..you will be stuck in a depressing situation waiting for the final green card.How do i know? .. I went through it...waiting for GC for the past 4 years.
I dont know its FBI or its just the USCIS incompetence but waiting in the final stage is horrible. Every time you travel you are scared...AP as for as my lawyer goes IT does not guarantee 100% entry in to the country.
After you apply for AP its only 1 year H1 increments.
What i am saying why dont we try for the overall improvement of the GC processing. Why dont we be firm about not wasting the GC numbers and recapturing the unused numbers.
We had a small revolt (peaceful way) and its successful.We dont want to stop there.
LETS FIGHT FOR THE OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF THE GC PROCESSING
I hope you guys are with me..looking for your comments

This might sound weired..but I think we can get some support from Housing Market !
Facts:
------
The housing market is slowing down significantly and there are millions of unsold homes out there.
More than 1/2 million people are stuck in the green card process. I am sure
most are waiting for green card before they buy their house and make longtime commitment.
I think we are a "Frozen" pool of customers for the Housing Market.
500000 H1B X 300000 (average house price) = 150 billion dollar market is just
inaccessible just because of retrogression.
I think we should convince them to help us FINANCIALY

Thanks for posting this. Can you post the original inquiry? Hopefully it will encourage others to send similar inquiries to their Congressperson.
Do you know if these are 485 or 140 applications? Would be nice to know these numbers by PD and how it compares to pending applications for ROW.
I am trying to get the original question info from him. Probably he will read the thread and answer it.

I am in eb3 row, have a job waiting for me in the usa, but i am in england,
Have a PD of june 06, am terrified that my job offer will be withdrawn if i dont make some progress soon. Have had job offer for 1 year this week.
My soliciter has written to nvc to try and shed some light. but im not expecting much joy.
But from the posts, i have read in this thread, do i detect a glimmer of hope for my situation.?
Could EB3 row become current soon.??
It is just so unjust that i have to wait the length of time that i have, its not so bad if you are already out there, and just changing your status, but for some one in my position trying to perminently relocate, job waiting for them, no family, just me, clean as a whisle and not able to do anything because you are stuck in the same que as everyone else is just a nightmare. I have had my life on hold for a little under 2 years for this. And im only 24.
Im starting to wonder just how much longer i can wait. Life has to go on you know. Im loosing some of the best years of my life to stand in a fucking que, for something that may never happen. It is almost enough to make you think about becoming and illegal.

This is what I mean by fingerpointing. So why are u so special? Just because u claim to be honest u must not point fingers at others. I am not criticizing u or not arguing, but fingerpointing will not lead to anything constructive. From what I have done so far, I have no clue if I have done something wrong, u r already pointing finger at me.
People in the past and currently are working hard to achieve their goals, fingerpointing and blaming others for the situation will never help.
What are YOU smoking????
Did I say I am special? Don't put words in my mouth. So if you think that abiding by the law makes one special, then I am guilty as charged :-)
Your "fingerpointing" and "why are you special" comment really cracks me up :D

Dear Friends,
Got Green cards and Welcome notices for me and my wife .
Surprisingly no uscis e-mail and online status is still "initial review"
Our journey in short :
How long in US : 10+ years
First Labor in 2002 . Changed job in three years before approval of labor
Second Labor in 2004 . Approved in 2007
Filed I140 and 485 - in July 2007
Since then I was enjoying EAD / AP with no complain .
I donate to IV now and then , but for some reason only once (for few days) got access to IV-Donor Forum . But always had a faith that IV is doing good work .
From non-donor IV forums and other forums I noticed that USCIS are transferring leftover Visas to other EB categories . I waited to see some thing coming to EB3 but ......nothing came .
My Lawyer told me that I can port to EB2 and it is a normal a process.
1. New Perm
Filed in Feb and approved in 10 days ( Prep work takes 3 to 4 months before filing )
2. EB2 I140 (TSC)
a. Filed in March - Premium Processing
b. My Lawyer sent interfiling letter along with I140 filing
c. Approved in 7 days (A# and Priority Date retained)
d. Same week got Green Cards and Welcome Notices:) - Super-fast Approval
e. No email and no updates on USCIS website
Not sure about the USCIS and Lawyer fees . My company paid for every thing.
Hope every one get the desired freedom asap and don't have to wait like me for 10+ years
Wish you all the best ......to everyone who is waiting for GC.
Thanks,
Jimytomy
Awesome...congrats!

d. Same week got Green Cards and Welcome Notices:) - Super-fast Approval
e. No email and no updates on USCIS website
Not sure about the USCIS and Lawyer fees . My company paid for every thing.
Hope every one get the desired freedom asap and don't have to wait like me for 10+ years
Wish you all the best ......to everyone who is waiting for GC.
Thanks,
