Thank you. The community needs to wake up. Times are going to be tough not just for H1B but for everyone else in line for GC.
Advocacy is a long term process that requires lot of efforts and resources. We should not be expecting quick results because of one month's contribution. That is peanuts when you compare it with the amount being spent against us.
It is high time people join the state chapters and try to lead them if your state chapter is dormant or inactive. Action items will happen but we need to be ready. Try to get more people in IV. The mantra for success will be mass participation in the coming times. It should not be a couple of hundred phone calls or faxes that happened last year, but hundreds of thousands of calls, faxes and thousands of meetings.
If we can achieve that then we will definitely increase chances of success significantly this year.
This community needs to think how it can increase mass participation on IV and bring everyone waiting in line on IV platform.
Let me know what and where to direct them. I promise and I will update the progress on daily basis.

Is this done before you apply for after you apply for I-485??..I called one of the doctor and they said that once you apply uscis will direct you to get the tests done...is this true??..
Not before or Not after.
You should submit this report along with your 485 documents when your PD is current.

If you think any fraud is going on or there is a law being misused you must complain to USCIS and Ombudsman. Unless it is reported nobody in a position of power will know about it and nothing will be done to stop it.
I will try to explain the process it takes to get qualified for EB1C.
You will need to be outside USA for an year working as an Executive or manager. Come back to USA in that role. So the appropriate visa will be L1A. Most Indian companies require atleast 5-6 years of experience before they look at your resume for a manager. Most of the managers now a days get fired if their targets are not met in couple of quarters. So staying in that position for couple of years it self is a big deal. Now they need to prove the candiate valid for L1A position. Face a visa interview and come here and start working. Even if the same company is sponsering the L1A. Compaines usually wait for an year or two before they file I140. This application wll rot in CIS queue for long enough before they get a decision and GC.
This is the actual process.. If some company works in an apartment in India with one man show and tries to get an L1A, I am not sure if they will get through and get a VISA??? It is quite common that we have more EB1Cs becos, the number of Desi companies have grown. So if you think you are experienced and want to give a shot, try it. These kind of complaints in a longer run will bite us by delaying the applications and building backlogs..
I think it has become a standard process after any visa bulletin. We try to fight on EB2/EB3 or India vs. ROW or AP in India vs. rest of India. This time it happened to be EB1 vs. rest of EB..
The system is already screwed.. Lets not add more delays.. If we want to complain, lets complain about the root cause of the problem.. i.e. CIS wasted visas that caused these backlogs..
Just ask your self a question, if you were given GC tomorrow will you care who comes next or how one comes here??? Atleast I won't. There is a whole department paid to do this job..

Since we now know that SA 187 had nothing to do with immigration and that it WAS indeed passed, the possible typo in this thread (about SA 187) title should be changed to something along the lines "Senate immigration amendment to H.R 2 NOT passed".
Besides we should whoheartedly explore with Kennedy, Kerry et al. if they game for pushing the immigration amendment (w/o the hard 10% country cap) in the house-senate conference.
If they are playing politics with the Sen Session illegal immigrant amendment (which passed!) we might as well use their tete-a-tete to our advantage ;)
BTW sen Sessions amendment also did not pass. It was just introduced, Th estatus of SA143(session's amendment) and SA180 is same.

Where do you see that? In his alert today, he only mentioned about the need to get the medical done asap. I don't see any retraction there. Am I missing something here?
What I meant is that he has REMOVED that advisory from the site. He has not printed an actual retraction.

Set a meaningful standard time frame,based on employment category, within which all applications must be processed. If they could not process an application within the time frame and the application meets the all requirements, the applicant must be issued with green card irrespective of whether a visa number is available or not. Though time frame could differ, it would atleast help the applicants plan their future properly. Most importantly it makes the USCIS accountable.
Eliminate EAD renewals every year. This will reduce the paper work and hence improve performance. Unless people change their jobs, there should be no need to renew.
Come on....please wake up.

she is chairwoman for subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Border Security and International Law.
How much clout does this congresswoman have? She seems to understand the entire scenario better than any american soul out there! It also seems like she has spent a lot of time on this and understands the system very well.
I guess it remains to be seen what kind of impact her letter will have on USCIS. Obviously, USCIS did something unlawful.

My question is, based on my old H1, do I need to go out of the country?
Second question is, In my old passport there are 2 valid US visas, 10 Yr B1 and 3 yr H1. How do I get them on to new passport?
1. No you need not go out of USA, because new I94 is valid until 11/2009. However, you need to get visa stamped within one year of expiry of first one, if you want to travel frequently. I have heard that if it is more than one year, entire precess of verification starts again. In automated appointments, consulates provides option for within one year.
2. Once H1B is used, subsequently B1/B2 cann't be used. When you go to any consulates, they will cancel it. The Visa of old passport, even if expired, can be used for AVR (e.g going to Canada and coming back within a month) along with new I94.

people this is such less amount, ready to pay so much money for renewing visas etc, but you can't sign up for 20 or 50 every month. This is really becoming like begging..I do understand everyone has family commitment and other financial need but $20/month is not too much !!
Step up and show we're united and can resolve this, if not time contribute financially,
Your words won't help mjdup. These guys have a skin of rhino. They don't have any self esteem or dignity. Please don't beg them....one day when IV will close and nothing will happen, these same people will beg GOD to send an IV for them and by the time it would be so late that they will curse themselves... :mad:

>>I start to feel that my US dream is so stupid.
feel the same here.. just about to enter the 9th year on H1
PD Dec2003
140 Approved
485 nohope
9 years oh my god... I read on one of these threads(May be threads for US students), a person is waiting since 2002. He has done his PHD from here and has children in colleges.
He went to extend his visa stamp to india, and they refused becuase the consulate asked him to wait till a decision on his case is made, then upon that decision they will give him a visa or not.
As per Pappu this is the only year... We have to do it this time by hook or my crook. All our provision should be met.
1) People waiting with I-485 get more visas to get GC.
2) People waiting to apply for I-485 should be allowed.
3) People should have the AC21 portability available so that they can leave their desi companies that torture them.
4) People with Master's Degree should also get priveledge.
5) Let their dream be fullfilled too (Increase in H1-B :D )

So this $300/$500 collection target is something to work towards, but once I am in the team, I get to run/walk even if I am unable to raise the full amount, right?
Of Course you can still walk/jog/run with Team IV at a Team IV event.
We encourage you to reach your fundraising goal of $300 or $500, and in the Welcome Package you will get several ideas on how to conduct your fundraising. This is all provided as part of the Targeted Fundraising Plan. $300 and $500 are nominal goals and can be easily reached within one years time. Of course, you will always have my help and Santb1975's help to get you to your fundraising goal.
Lastly, you can also do this in groups to make it easier and more fun. For instance, my non-IV friend who has signed up with Team IV will host a Coffee Hour with me. All guests will buy baked goods from us (coffee is on the house) and the total money raised can be split 2-ways to add to our individual fundraising goals.
