I have a thought! How about fund raising events....members with some talent can really help here...hold an event (such as a concert...i have heard of some talented classical singers or classical dance performers from India giving concerts for a fee of a few thousand dollars in university auditoriums or other cultural venues) with all proceeds going to IV, or sell some services (such as IT services, accounting services, or any other high-skill talent that might otherwise cost a lot), etc. Say, someone wants to sell something on eBay, how abolut selling it and donating the proceeds to eBay. This way, we might be able to contribute more funds by performing some activities that we already have the talent for.
come on people, among such qualified and educated folks as the members of this organization, can we not find some skill in us that can be used to raised some funds?
What do people think?

One solution might be to make access available only to people with complete profiles.
For instance, verify that all profile fields are filled in, and send an email. If the user replies to the email then the profile is "activated". Or, alternatively, send email with some sort of activation link.
This should eliminate most if not all "ghost" members.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) 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.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
Dear IV Members,
If you believe that your success depends on your immigration process - whether it's the ability to file I-485 earlier or to get green-card and citizenship sooner or whether it's the ability of your spouse to work - then you have to believe that your success somehow depends on the success of Immigration voice and these 170 volunteers in DC next week.
As you may know, we are just one more week away from hosting Advocacy day in Washington DC where about 170 members of Immigration Voice will conduct nearly 250 meetings with offices of Senators and Congressmen. Such events cost money. If we have enough contributions, we can spend as per our budget of nearly $ 50,000. If not, we will have to cut back on the event spending and reduce the magnitude and size of the event.
If you are not coming to DC next week, please do your part and contribute funds to Immigration Voice. It not only finances the event properly, it instills pride and confidence in the members who will be there in DC that there are thousands of willing supporters behind them who could not be there physically but are 100% with them in their determination and resolve.

I don't know what this petition is going to do. Atleast it will convey to CNN top brass that there are people out there who won't tolerate such lies. Maybe it won't do anything now but we must continue our efforts and oppose such false propagation of information whenever we can.

When you join a state chapter or a group in your area, it is not necessary to conduct face-to-face meetings everyday/every week, although in person meetings wouldn't hurt. The idea is to create a channel to dissipate information through channels other than WWW. Believe it or not, there are lot many folks from anti-groups who lurk around just to keep an eye on us. Participating or becoming part of the group near to you and encourage others to do the same will also help to build/strength a group of like minded folks in the area who could then team-up to meet with local lawmakers from your area/state. We are a grass roots organization and we need to have a stronger grassroots in order to continue to be more effective. As I said earlier, this channel also is very useful to dissipate information which cannot be shared on world wide web.
Now a days when everybody has presidential election on their mind, immigration issue is not on the list of things to do for most lawmakers. As such, it takes time for the updates and the there are updates that cannot be disclosed on www. We continue to work on our issues in manner we have always worked in the past. And in the absence of Congress not taking up our immigration issues, it some how becomes our fault even though it is ok if some folks would show up from time to time and suggest that they have reasons not to join a google or a yahoo group. And all of a sudden the problem is with organization and the manner in which we work and then there is an urgent to create a �process�. Although you seem to be suggesting that you want all the ducks in the row and world peace issues sorted out before you will start accepting updates in exactly the manner in which you like to receive them. Is that correct? How about the idea of getting actively involved in your area and create an active chapter, which was your idea to begin with, and one I would agree is an excellent idea.
It is of'course a valid question - �what is going on�. Also it is a very general statement and one which can have a very long answer and one which can be answered in few words. If you become part of a group in your area, you will know what is going on. Please understand that a significant number of members are putting lot of effort, if others are not able to participate actively, is it not fair to ask others to help in organizing in groups in the local area and be regular communication so that action items could be handled effectively?
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.

Let us all have a rally to move back to our countries on 4July2008 to symbolically show that we want our Freedom and Independence and never return back.
If all the articles about reverse brain drain we are reading about is true they would do something to solve this GC situation. Otherwise the anti-immigrants will come to see us off while we depart this country and never to return back as H1B's trying to get GC's and live here. This will go into history, 30yrs from now and our grandchildren will read about it. And may be we will get some special pension at our home countries for returning back and helping it to do better.
Please take the poll to indicate if you would participate in this QUIT AMERICA MOVEMENT FOR OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
Dude.
You already got freedom. You should thank America for letting you come here and work and earn dollars probably more than their citizens.

Hi
Can you please tell me who you addressed the letter to (letter to the president) - is it just the address given on the WH website. Did you send it to anyone's attention in particular. Thanks in advance for the info.
Write to Mr. Bush (no kidding). They will send an inquiry to FBI and you will get something from FBI NNCP (name check division). If that does not help, file a lawsuit against USCIS/FBI. Or you can file a lawsuit first and then write a letter to save some time. The lawsuit will get things moving. The do-it-yourself guide is located here:

Congrats Man, all the best for your future, I have yet to apply for GC (i am in my 4th year of H1 B, my company said they would take care of it, and they are painfully slow, i have now been here for 7+ yrs).
Immigration is personal choice in my opinion, i am sure it makes sense to say i am proud of my heritage/culture, but like everybody else i came here for a better life.
The wait for GC is very very frustrating, other the other hand it is absolutely unnecessary if the Immigration authorities just put a little effort and time into resolving it, I guess that is a underlying statement about skilled Immigrants, you have to go through a lot of frustration, pain, and anxiety to be worthy of a GC. I am beginning to wonder, if all the energy (positive and negative) i am spending here to get my GC could be spent more efficiently and in a calculated manner in India (:confused:)
I am from India, I hate corruption and bureaucracy prevalent out there, I came here for a life filled with fun and freedom(what i thought was a better life :(), i still would like to have GC, but the wait, the tension that i need to take out here, is pushing me back to thinking maybe coming here was not a good choice in the first place, my Family is in India, and a couple of my friends are still around in India , so hopefully, when i DO go back i can hang around them and have FUN.
As one of the members said, you cannot take India out of a man, why ?, because we have 5000+ yrs of glorious documented history, a wonderful ,colorful culture, and is the home of great people, that's why !, and that culture is entrenched in our psyche. The generation of kids born to indians here is US wont/cannot/ relate to that psyche, people like us export India, but for the next generation India ceases to exist, just my 1 cent.
Sorry if i bored you folks with rants and raves cheers !!!

Ok. I agree with everything you say but you still haven't explained why EB-2 China hasn't moved. They never were Unavailable, which means they haven't used their quota but are still retrogressed. Why absolutely no relief for them? Not even a month forward movement?
To be honest, I have no way to know why absolutely no change for China. There have been times earlier where India and China had similar cut out dates, then they changed dramatically, then India became unavailable, and now they are same again. With so much happening, I would say its very difficuilt to have a logical reason with no real data.
All I can come up is that perhaps China might had a little higher demand than India in the last few months, or just that in case of spill overs, most visas might be consumed by countries most retrogressed, or perhaps DHS believes that the number of visas spill over would be only enough to cover EB2 Inida + EB2 china up to a certain date and China was already at that date, so if the demand is less than expected, then we will see movement in both India and China.
Wish best for all Employment based filers. Hopefully some law change comes and justice is done to every one.
I would hate to see different immigrant groups worrying about which group is getting ahead.
Keep contributing to IV effort and hope no one need to go through extended wait times..........

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.

allowing the substitution of alien

Considering that there are more than 2000 members who havent contributed yet. Even $10 per member wud mean $20K straight away. Common guys, this is tax refund season. Surely we can all send in atleast between $10 and $20. That is cheap change considering most of our life styles. Internet access costs more than that, Filling your car with a tank of regular gas costs more than that. ;)
