I don't personally think we had much media coverage except some hidden links, can we post some paid adds where everyone can get know what we are addressing in here i.e., on the front page of google, yahoo, msn, cnn, etc. I know some people might have second thoughts as it involves $ but I'm ready for it to get public attention. There is a thin line between legal and illigal and they are ready to club both together for their benefits. I'm starting to wonder how many people know what is going on, we have to educate them first.
Just to give everyone an idea, the cost of the 300x25 ad on MSN Homepage is $300,000 - $800,000 for 24 hrs. The range varies based on timing, day of the week, seaonality etc.
For the holiday season, it will be about $700-$800K.

... tell us something new...
kaka,
You have so far been saying "nobody will get GC... it is a scam..."
Now that there is a chance someone will get GC with a new House, do you still go with your "win-win" stand?
Will you change your course too and say something new?

That 2% could be an extremely conservative estimate for 2001-2002 filers. Why ? Many filers are already been approved. The only filers that are left are probably who got their LCs between 2004-2008 with priority date in 2001/2002 and labor substitutes .(note in 2005, the PD of EB3I did come all the way to June 02). Most of left outs have filed their 485 in June 07 already and you could probably see a huge percentage in too, because by then people knew about the website and started tracking.
I hope you are correct but look at for EB3-I.
There are about 14 pages of EB3-I before 2004. So with assumptions of 2% applicants registered on there will be approximately 30000 to 35000 EB3-I applicants.
(14*50)/(0.02) = 35000

H4 - must be allowed to work. American economy does not differenciate between an American and a legal alien. We all pay the same rent, same tax, same price for car. When our H4 spouses cannot work, we have to totally depend on one salary. In case of emergencies we hit rock bottom economically. Quite obviously our quality of life is compromised.
But what do we do about it?
Is this one of the goals of IV?

My company went through a 10% workforce reduction company-wide just when my PERM application was ready to be filed. Although nobody from my group has been affected, 2 people with the same job title from a different group in the same office were affected. Their job descriptions are entirely different. I have about a year and a half before my H1B expires. I would appreciate anybody answering the following questions I have:
1. In Form 9089, should the answer to Item 26 be 'No' since nobody in my group or area of expertise was affected?
2. If the answer to Item 26 should be 'Yes', is it sufficient to notify and consider the people laid off? I am confident that they will not qualify for the position. How long should this 'notification and interview' period typically be?
3. I have heard that my company can be sent an audit notice. In such a case, is it sufficent to justify that the area of expertise is different. What is the success rate for this?
4. If the audit response is rejected, what happens then? I have been told that the employee will have to return to his home country immediately and cannot refile his PERM application.

Please and i'm begging you that please read the entire post and think for a moment before replying. I'm not in BEC, already filed my 485. I'm aware of the IV efforts towards getting relief for BEC people, I never disputed that. My point has been that the system and July bulletin is unfair (at least from one angle) and that calling it unfair/unjust should not upset others. I don't know what words were used by Bigtime and banning him was fair or unfair.
You want everyone else to suffer just because you suffered? or because older pd's suffered? life is not fair so get over with it... the sheer fact that you are in this country is a god's gift to you! So dont be judgmental about things...
btw my pd is feb 2003 and i'm very happy for everyone who will get the opportunity to get in the door!

I realized the clout that IV has grown when we got the Visa Bulletin reversal. This clout will only get stronger as Logiclife has explained. If you relate to politics in your own countries, the bigger the crowd at a politicians meeting; the bigger his clout. They can hire people to lobby for them and follow them around as a show of strength. Similarly in US if more organizations support a politician and if they can lobby independently for his agenda, it is a show of strength for him.
If you have observed election campaigns, you will see that all the ads are "Paid for" by some third party claiming no direct relation to the politician. This is the support structure in US and now after the rally IV is an organization which can provide such support as a return favor to our agenda being pushed ahead.
For the guys who sat on the sidelines and snickered at us, you have to realize we are the "brightest and the best" and we will not do something for the sake of doing it unless we know what the effects of such actions will be. We always see the big picture so just join us and work for this cause which is critical to all of us.

i had sent an email to c.. requesting allowing to file for AOS..as a mode of temporary relief...they replied..saying thanks for the input...
I think we must pursue this for now... since any meaning reforms are atleast couples of months away.. this relief can save lots of EB ppl during uncertain times.
inputs welcome..

It is way more complex than that. Graf was literally abandoned by the GOP, no money at all. The GOP even came up supporting a GOP candidate on their own against Graf. I don't think your conclusion is correct, because Hastert, Sensebrenner, Tom Tancredo and many others against CIR won by large margins.
From what I have been reading, conservative voters want to punish the GOP exactly to teach them a lesson and make them more active from now on.
I think for those who can benefit from the amnesty bills, it is time to celebrate !! Hurray !
Looks like the Leadership of the house is changing.
Interestingly I heard one of the republican commentators comment that whatever happens, including if the republicans lose there will be a change in the house minority republican leadership, he was putting forward people like Pence and Shadegg as the new leaders(they have been pro SKIL bill). In other words, No Hastert, No Sensenbrenner etc in the committees.
Interestingly in the districts that republicans ran anti-immigrant platform, they lost badly. One of the bellweathers districts for that in Arizona, Candidate Graf(who got the republican nomination by his very hard anti illegal immigration platform) lost heavily to a democrat who is pro CIR. There are many more such examples (Sen. Santorum is another example). Thse results bode well for legislation as long as the issue comes up for debate again in this congressional year.
Who knows, now the house republicans might even be willing to consider it in the lame duck session, as atleast they will get to have some say in it. Will be interesting in the next few months.

I understand the frustration. Yes, its not fair et all.
EB I is really beaten up and no respite at the corner. And yes, it looks awkward when even late EB2 filers going way ahead ... Of course, no offense...But just wish EB 3 too has the same treatment....
Oh boy, its sad anyways.
sagar_nyc, agreed. EB3 is a joke and even worst I have become a joker in front of all my friends who applied in EB2 cheating the system. Funny is, experience wise, I am well ahead of all those making fun of me but...:-(
too bad, eb3 does not even have a place to vent these days as IV forums and its thread only has discussions from EB2 members.
anyway, best of luck to everybody. the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.

Being bitter does not get us anywhere..
I agree with you as well. Though feeling disheartened certainly we should not name them all here on thread. And I am just making request to that group (not attended meeting - After RSVP OR even did not send RSVP). I know one member (never active visibly during any of meetings organized so far and/or never even active on texasiv board) somehow decided to call me (On my cell phone - plan with very less day time minutes) various times in past for having help for his immigration problems. I always helped him (And decided not to even ask him about his passiveness on texasiv board ). Now probably he might be thinking himself smart for using me but he does not have a clue that he is not cheating me or he is not cheating IV, he is cheating himself. That person is definately here for $ only and I am 100% sure he does not have a clue about the "history" of "immigration" and probably does not have a clue about "How and what USA is except $"... He certainly might not be aware about Japanese (Citizens) kicked out after pearl horbour... I pray that kind of time never comes in his life but if at all he may have to face that he would not survive for a moment with this attitude.
All in all what I am saying is we should not name anybody here who is passive and all passive ones should understand the seriousness of the problem what they are in and start being active.

Thank you all very much. Truly appreciate for providing all the necessary web links. Definitely I'd take the extra effort to complain to the Gov. of India and also start knocking on the doors.
Thanks to you all once again.
By the way, I was referring to Embassy of India, Washington DC.
When did you send your application.
I am in the same boat waiting for their call. :D

Please understand that your older PD is much more important because u would get ur gc that much earlier compared to 2005-07 people. Just because ppl are able to file 485 does not mean that they are going to take a number out of the quota for that year. The numbers are only taken during approval and hence they would all still be stuck in the same queue and you would have gotten an oppurtunity to file and possible get your GC too...take a deep breath, relax and think about this with a cool mind. I definitely do feel bad for you. My labor was stuck in BEC too and i left my company and joined a new one and restarted all over again. Been on H1 for seven years without ever getting any chance to file 485 until now...
-
Exactly!
Only if people stop complaining when they see how they don't loose out even if others can "apply" for I-485.
I guess, there is lot of frustration and anger which maybe clouding judgement.

To apologize, it takes more courage than bashing someone in this forum. But to be honest and speak truth, .. it takes much more than courage than to bluff. I saw some of your post on this forum and you just contradicted them all with this so called “last and final” note.
For now I will vote to remove the ban on your id but its not a bad idea for you to look at yourself and think about what you were doing in this forum for past several days and promise yourself not to repeat the same. Try to be honest about your posts and that would go a long way in this partnership

Majedaar baat ye hai ki mera post tha ek chota majjak jisme kuch bhi kisi ko bura lagne jaisa nahi tha, arunmurthy ko usme pata nahi kya dikha rakh ke stupid bol diya saath main donor hone ki wajah se do baat aur suna di. Aur abhi abhi project go live hua hai to hum bhi thora fursat main hain, to socha , chalo arunmurthy ko bash karke time pass karte hai.

Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.
When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.
Please read some thoughts at:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10774
My best advice would be "be prepared" and good luck :)
Thanks for your feedback. But processing a '05 labor cert before a '03 labor cert is injustice at the most ugliest form. No where, I mean no where in the world are people going to accept someone who came later in the queue to be allowed to have service before people who have been waiting for years together in the queue. Why would anyone do that and how is that justified? It is a mental worry and stress for the affected folks right now because we are still waiting with uncertainty. Why should we? Why????
So whatever happens in the future isn't the concern. There are no guarantees offered as you know with these processes. If it happens it happens and we will take it at that time.
The point is to bring to the attention of the proper authorities this injustice in the system and to make sure that we are guaranteed some form of relief/concessions. As you know the filing fees are going to increase and again there are no other guarantees.
