you had waited for such a long time. I would suggest to take a big break and visit india and come back. In fact you can do the same in EAD. Think forward don't get your emotions in the way.
That is correct, 9 months and then I will return to my country for good.
I am waiting for the day when we get the GC , we will tear it into pieces and throw in front of consulate.
Cheers

...and I agree with what you have to say. My replies below...
No. that's not the point. See, you can't force people.
agree
If X is "recurring contributor" now, he has done that willingly and that is the best essence for us.
whole heartedly agree
As long as people support the cause and organization "Willingly" we will have infinite horizons to grow. The moment you bring "Burocracy" in, ultimately momentum will die.. may be slowly or quickly. Historically, IV threads are the major attentive media to declare the existence. We should not kill that with any enforcement of "Paid membership"...It is always hard to wake people. If that would be easy than nobody would have used the word "Struggle"..right:). On other hand yes there is a dire need of increasing financial strength exponentially and that too quickly is at high priority. We need to think and find other ways and resources.
that is the challenge. but it is also a slow process. it took a couple of movements before a lot of members got on board. more results will bring more members. I support issue based funding. announce what the money is needed for and ask members to contribute. members who have a vested interest and are motivated in an issue will contribute. Would a person who vies for GC contribute for an H1B cap increase issue and vice versa?
it is also a guage of the support that IV has for an issue and its resolution. many members may not agree with what IV is doing and hence will not contribute. It makes for good collective decision making.

And the drama continues...
All I had asked was how the older IV core members were doing as I hadn't seen them online in over a year. But as usual a simple question like that and a request for some updates kicks up a storm!!
Once again, this was not to start a storm. I honestly just wanted to find out how the older core members were doing. WaldenPond, thanks for your first response.

I agree with most of your comments here. I am more realistic than most people here in the forums. So, I dont want all ducks in a row and world peace issues sorted out. Because, I know that is not happening anytime soon.
True, in a election year and with all the anti-immigration sentiments around, it is highly unlikely that something will happen in the near future. So, NO. I am not waiting to see some success, before I join the band wagon. When you started IV a few years back, I am not sure you envisioned this many members today. Inspite of having over 25000 members, the admin fix compaign only seem to have received about 10% letters. So, What are the other members doing? Why are they not participating? what is holding them back? That is a question for everyone of us. That is something, I thought every member should reflect upon. We have around 25000 members here in IV. But, we know for a fact that there are atleast a million people waiting in line. How do we reach them and how to get them to actively participate in IV action items?
Like you said, IV is a grass roots organization and it is up to the members to make things happen. But how? Apart from these action items for admin fixes etc, Can't IV have a membership drive? Get more people to join IV and contribute.
I know for a fact, that there are so many people here in Nebraska who have no clue about IV. I have been educating them when I get an opportunity. A Local Chapter could easily solve the problem. But, until now, I had no clue as to what is required to start a chapter. (Thank you Walking_dude). Answers to questions like this is what I meant by transaparency. Not the accounts or donations, as someone suggested in this forum.
Also, When I suggested about honarary payments to core team, I am not trying to belitte anyone in the team. I just thought, that you and other members of the core team should be compensated for all the efforts you put in. After all, these efforts and money you spend is going to benefit me and every other aspiring immigrant of this country. So, It was just a thought.
I will try my best to lay the foundations of IV presence here in NE. I would welcome any suggestions and comments.
It takes time. We all started out like you, in the Tri State Area, and in other cities we targetted grocery shops, distrubuted flyers in major events, had booths and out members tirelessly and selflessly worked and continue to do so. We see more and more members getting motivated as time goes and this is a good sign.
We have started off a lot of publicity campaigns like advertising on local radio, different sites, mailing lists, emails, invite a friend, free legal counsels, meet and greets and it just goes on.......
You are most welcome to take initiative and execute it and IV members will provide you all support u need.
Evey IV member can support IV in some form or the other.
I am personally glad that you are now motivated. Welcome to the band wagon.

Nik,
Did it say anything on your online account about RFE when you received the email, or you just got the email i.e. when you click on the receipt number it shows status of the case which usually shows a generic message that the case was received and is pending, so did that message change?
If not, then did anybody else who got the RFE had that message changed?
Thanks
Yes status has been changed to : Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent.
There is no information about RFE.

No, 45 days condition is not for "to file 140 within 45 days of labor approval"
But it is for the company to substitute the LC for some other employee within 45 days.
There is no time limit set to file I-140 for the employee for whom the LC was issued.Where do you get this from? In original proposal it was 45 days to file I-140, after that day labor just dies. Company can request substitution only before labor approval.
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20061800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/06-1248.pdf
-----------------
First, DOL is proposing to
eliminate the current practice of
allowing the substitution of alien
beneficiaries on permanent labor
certification applications and resulting
certifications. Second, DOL is proposing
a 45-day period for employers to file
approved permanent labor certifications
in support of a petition with the
Department of Homeland Security,
United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (DHS).

Friends, I understand the concept of marrying before and after 485.
My question: Lets say I go ahead and apply for 485. However, my H1 has expired, so I will be traveling on AP. So when I travel outside the US, I am technically not on H1, when I come back...am I right? So, if my spouse wants to apply for H4 visa will she be granted one? Since I had traveled on AP? I am sorry if I confused this with EAD. Bottom line, my H1 stamp has expired and I do not intend to go for another stamping while outside.

Great Dude,
Kudos for voicing your opinion !, its upto every individual to choice his/her path, currently their is sheep herding mentality going on (you know what i mean ;)
I have been in this country since 2000, no GC yet, as a matter of fact if my company does not apply for labour in a couple of months , i am sure to go home, my company has said it would apply, but is taking forever. In hindsight, i feel i should have never left India, i have lost on my career development, lost some of my dignity, and feel that i am treated as a 2nd class citizen.
I have decided the GC is for a chosen few ;), not for everybody, I guess i am a coward (whatever that means ?), I prefer to exhuast my H1 and go back Home with some dignity and self respect. It's like this, US is like a mansion (or rather appears to be) , i asked the owner if i could get in, he said OK, i asked the owner if i can stay longer and be here (GC), the owner said he would think about it, now the owner 'OWN's' me, since i have stayed in the mansion for quite long, I am used to the comforts, and not sure if i want to leave or fight the slave trader. I for one, refuse to be labelled, bonded, and treated as 2nd class citizen. I am off to my birth country, and for me its the greatest country, ever on the face of the earth, and i really feel sorry for abandoning it.

Guys,
with the measures that listed in the bill , i am sure it is going to face same fate as it had before in 07 .I read some where that this bill did not gain support as Oracle is against it .
This bill is against practices that is done mainly by Indian Outsourcing companies, as will impact all the american organizations in longer run (if a company outsource its operations ,they need to have a Permanent local hire to shadow the resource).
But even in the worst case even if bill gets tabled ,it will not gain support in the current form .
But IV Stand is Correct on this issue , not to support this bill as it may hamper our immigrant interest in longer run.

To avoid transaction charges let users pay quarterly or half-yearly recurring. i.e. if one wants to donate 5$/ month so it will be 30$/ 6 months etc.
It is a good idea to save on recurring charges but monthly contribution will help IV plan things in advance. Whatever you can, donate now and raise the bar!
To raise your spirit, whatever amount you donate now, I will double it IV - send me a PM once you made the payment.

Now the reports saying both parties have an eye on 2008 presidential
election so they wont do any controversial bill. Same thing was said before the midterm election. So once they after the presidential election would they again say they have to face the midterm in 2010 so no controversial bills?
Its seems like
While ( 1<2)
{
printf( "NO EB VISAS." )
}
How do we break the loop????
thanks

We have to understand that there is a myriad of laws; INA, CFR's; USCIS policy binding memos; internal memos; appeals decisions, court cases, precedent aao decisions, precedent legal cases.
Now; the ac21 memo is a memo that uscis officers have to follow. However; the memo is not in accordanc with INA 245 or AC21.
INA 245 states that a valid and approved 140 is needed for a person to get lawful permanent residency.
ac21 says that a person can change jobs after 485 has been pending for more then 180 days.
The above two things are the law.
In ac21 law; it doesn't say anything about the scenario if 140 is revoked by employer. It is totally silent to it.
USCIS in their memos realized that ac21 law would not have any meaning if the employer still controlled the 140 if a person was eligible for ac21; therefore, they issued the memo (memo is not law but binding; memos can be changed; however, there has been nothing public about any possible change).
Memo is clarification which they have been following for many years and as far as I know still binding.
Thanks for the clarification. I wish my issue gets resolved soon :)

You do NOT have to go anywhere - what you are saying is "SBI Rapid Remittance" by SBI where the money will reach your Foreign account the very next day ( But you might have to wire the money as well to BOA-NY or SBI-NY ?)
www.onlinesbi.com/rr - This is SBI's response to rapid exchange.
What i'm talking is "SBI Direct Remit" & takes 3-4 business days but just click of computer mouse once you are set up. I actually set it up Monday morning EST and Friday Morning EST i see my money at Foreign account. No need to open a account at SBI-NY or anywhere but its good to have the target account at SBI ( it can be your mom/dad's SBI a/c or yours , doesn't matter really )
www.onlinesbi.com/glsus
P.S: By the way - i also had the idea that SBI is "sarkari bank" - slow , unprofessional etc... etc.. But the band of peoples who handles this division are really young and bright - my experience for last 6 months is just terrific. Customer Serivice also replies via email the next morning ...
What you said is 200% correct, I am also using their service from past 6 months, they are the best I have seen in Govt sector so far....ICICI bank is really verst in terms of every thing except global custeomer care....
I have stopped using ICICI year ago...Guys better use onlinesbi.com/gls, better exchange rates....

I will continue to contribute to IV even I get my GC in few months (highly unlikely) until the goals of IV are met. Also salutations and big thanks to the spouses and families of IV core. Their contribution and sacrifice is unsung, but in my opinion their sacrifice of their loved ones time and spending all savings for good cause is remarkable in itself. A big applause to the families of IV core for being so understanding.
