Contribute for what. I would , If I am told for what we are contributing. What are the real faces.
I am not one of those who can go advocate at places as I do not have luxury of it. I respect people who are going beyond their daily schedule and advocating, but what are the goals.
I however want to contribute not *donate* if I know what am I going after.
For any advise the standard answer we get is - Consult your immigration lawyer.
I dont want to dampen the interests of others who are ready to contribute. Tell me few reasons and I can contribute a decent amount.
May be we should make this paid. and then I will find my reason and I will pay to join
For your PD and EB category, you are able to enjoy 4 years of AOS benefits just because of IV. You will soon get your GC, only because of IVs continuous fight with CIS.. But hey you won't see it because it all happens behind the scene and someone else is picking your tab...

Hi,
I am wondering if someone could please clarfiy whether the beneficiary can pay the fee for the H1 B petition and the fee for the lawyer involved in filing the petition.
It will be very helpful if you could please cite an official USCIS document.
Thank you.

The letter was drafted on the 9th - so a response is due today. He may take his time to respond to Congress Woman letter by saying there are more pressing matter's on hand that, he has to deal with, including the word "gut feeling"
Now this is what is going to happen.
Because DOS and USCIS screwed up big time playing loosely with laws and expecting no reprisals for their actions, they will now beg/borrow for the lost visa numbers and make them available for July filers.
I see no escape route for the mess up. Rice, who did not pay any attention to this fisco gave her on the lip casual response to MSNBC reporter.
It looks like this issue is bigger than Iraq from security stand point of view and also with latest information of Al-Qaeda making statements to get into US for attacks.

Who will help us? How to proceed? When to Start?
No answers.
No one will help EB3.
God only will help.
Help IV...by doing like in Action Items of IV, donating some if I/you/we can.
I know many of my EB3 friends thinking of apply in EB2. For that they are seriously considering other job offers. Probably they may get porting or not but they will be in good shape soon.
Soon, I guess, there will be many EB2 filings (in 2010) if EB2 I progress like this. If 25% of EB3 people switch, there will be some good for rest...
There will be some help from Congress.......not pretty soon, but after this recession if we constantly in touch with them.
Never loose hope....as you said, God looks all of us.
Thanks

Here is the self-filing thread.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5132
Please read the disclaimer on the home page about the thread content. These are members like you and they are not lawyers and the forums advice is not legal advice or legal counsel. Do it at your own risk.
You still do need your employer to give you one letter about your future employment. Other than that, you might have everything you need to file your 485 and employer's involvement is minimal.
If your 140 has not yet been filed, then you definitely need your employer's involvement and in that case, firing your lawyer hired by your employer might actually cause more delay because you will have to do a lot of co-ordination on your own with employer and your new lawyer. Getting 140 filed without lawyer is probably very tough. So self-filing of 485 makes sense mostly for those who have approved 140.
Although I used my lawyer to file my I-485 ( My date was current in June and I submitted all my papers to my lawyer on May 20th and actually it was filed on 27th June), I also prepared I-485/ead application myself over the weekend and when I compare this application with lawyer's, mine was more accurate because lawyer mad small mistake in my address.
Anybody who follow this thread can prepare the application by him/herself.

Team,
Now that the amendmendts from Senate side have been defeated, what is the latest from House? Do we keep calling CHC members or we have another plan of action? I think the front page needs to be updated.
Its coming. Our 200 calls helped us get co sponsorship of 2/10 targeted members. We will have an update soon.

That's not correct. There is big difference between h1B annd GC and it is not for 10 years. it is for ever unless you don't fulfill some conditions.
GC is given for a period of 10 years and not for ever.

Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html)) and momentum to continue with this campaign.
The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
pappu
I would think that is no more need for waiting the survey results to see how important is this item for immigration community and/or IV!
If we look just on advocacy day contributions and see that the biggest part of the contribution came from people how did not have the chance to file in July 2007, from my point of view that say everything.

Maybe my case is an exception and it might give hope to others. I got my PERM labor certified recently after being audited. It took 215 days from the day of filing to approval day. I'm in EB2 category.
Don't lose hope as there is no apparent rationale behind DOL's approval.
Hallo Geevikram, can you give a bit more details.
1) LC filing date
2) Date it was put to audit
3) reason shown on audit (what was audit for / documents asked etc)
4) when was it approved.

nice posters (soft copy only...authorized by IV....we can print in our local areas) to be placed in Grocery shops (mainly Indian stores mostly they accept) to attract new and inactive members to participate/contribute to this event. I am ready to place it in my area (4 stores I can reach).
Also how about pamphlets (again soft copy..authorized by IV...we can print it in our local) placed in stores for people to pick and read it (some may act on it). May be 1 in 100 will join which is reasonable (not a great) reach.

Are fingerprints required for all EAD renewals? I am travelling on projects across the country and will not be at home to attend the fingerprint appointment if any. Is it possible to get a fingerprint appointment in another location. My address is in Texas, but my project is in Wisconsin.
Not required since they already have your fingerprints.

Besides no one is going to listen to us unless we maintain a long term relationship with many lawmakers by meeting them regularly all across the country. only then will they listen to us as representatives of IV and introduce Bills like this and co-sponsor and vote for it. It also has to do with building relations and trust.
Thats the only way to get them to pass Bills for us.
This is a process that can take months of work to get a Bill introduced and get enough people to vote for it.
Just calling them at the last minute and saying 'lets push for this' or 'why is IV not acting' is not going to do much help without the previous step.
This is an ongoing process that needs to to be done over a long period and its about getting enough votes in house and senate 216+60 to pass. that is how we ensure close to 300 lawmakers will vote for our cause.
