pappu,
when talking to my friends about IV I have observed the following:
1) they prefer to "visit" the iv site to get a first hand look at what IV is about
2) they tend to classify IV as a discussion forum rather than a movement - a couple of people have said that they did not notice any difference between IV and the other boards. they bookmark it and come back only when they have a burning question.
3) once i tell them about IV's achievements they do seem interested but most appear to be afraid (or lazy?) in actively joining - either monetarily or otherwise.
4) some people do not even want to post questions actively - instead ask me the question and expect me to post the question/ help them out with a response (not sure why - privacy issues?) - have others seen this also?
I don't know how to convince the lazy ones - but for the others, would it make sense to restructure the site a little bit so that the home page is a little less noisy and has only information about the underlying movement , IV's achievements and then has a link to the the message board (as a feature of IV rather than it defining IV)?
Good suggestions. Thanks. We do need ideas keep them coming.
I do have a difference of opinion here. Most people come for their questions and discussions rather than advocacy everyday. Thus forums are important. We already have lot of space allocated for what IV is on the homepage.
Pls suggest what changes you think will get us more visibility and confidence with new members.

The point was about abusing the system to get ahead in the line. In that way labor sub shares similarity with PD porting. If a person who landed yesterday fits the job profile and the law allowed it , then what's wrong.
On the other hand if those labor are sold for a price then it is serious problem. And thats why Lab Sub was eleminated. Now thats what is going to happen (and happening) in PD porting case.
any action should be against the so called "paid PD porting" cases. But why harm a honest EB3 person switching companies to go up the ladder? If he is getting the benefit of the rule, what is wrong? As long he it is done by the law, I do not see any problem.
Tomorrow, if you get a position that justifies EB1 category for you, would you not move to that category? Nothing wrong in that either.
I endorse Pappu's comments. Wrong doers can be punished. But people benefiting by a certain rule should not be.

I got the RFE at last. I invoked AC21. The RFE for me is asking for 2 evidences
01. Why in Form I-693 medical examiner submitted x-ray but no skin test (we did it because we had the TB vaccination in childhood and skin test would come positive and we had to take x-ray anyway) ---Not an Issue, we can answer that
02. Submit current dated EVL for your new employer. No issue. we can answer that
For my wife also asking for 2 evidences:
01. About the same medical issue.
02. Provide her non-immigrant status between Feb 2003 to Jan 2004.
I don't know what do. Looks like we are doomed. My wife came here with H4 in 2000, was provided I-94 from the airport for 3 years (till Jan 2003), we didn't know then that we have to file a I-539 extension for H4 extension (even couple of my friends had the same idea). We knew that as long as I am on H1, she would maintain H4. I came to know in Jan 2004 and then we applied for I-539. I know this is stupid but that what happened. Anybody has any experience please reply..please please. We are really sleepless this time.
I personally know a friend of mine who did the same mistake. He was not aware that he will also have to file for his wife when he did an h1 ext few years back. Lawyer was also not aware that he was married at that time. His 485 is still pending in EB-3, so no idea what would be the outcome.

NewsFlash! DOS Expected to Revise July Visa Bulletin
Posted Jun 29, 2007
�MurthyDotCom
We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd. This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July. It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable." The reason for this is that the USCIS apparently engaged in extraordinary efforts to approve cases in June, once there was some forward movement of the Visa Bulletin. They did this to try to avoid the tide of cases expected in July. Each green card approval uses one visa number. If the numbers are all used for the year, then the DOS will issue a revised Visa Bulletin reflecting "unavailable" in the particular category or categories.
�MurthyDotCom
DOS Input
�MurthyDotCom
While there is no 100 percent assurance about this matter, we at the Murthy Law Firm were given a 95-98 percent confirmation of the expectation regarding the Visa Bulletin by a very reliable source. The most vulnerable categories, of course, are those that are typically the victims of retrogression: EB2 and EB3 for India, China, and (potentially) Mexico. If this unprecedented action should occur, it will mean is that the USCIS will reject I-485 cases based upon the anticipated Visa Bulletin revision, if it should, in fact indicate that visa numbers are not available in a particular category.
�MurthyDotCom
Legal Fight Brewing
�MurthyDotCom
There is substantial legal wrangling ongoing because of the anticipation of this unprecedented occurrence. The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has announced plans to file suit against the USCIS for any cases rejected due to a revised Visa Bulletin.
�MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
�MurthyDotCom
It is difficult to formulate words in reaction to this matter. So, for the time being, we will let our clients and readers know that our full sympathies are with them, as they face yet another potential disappointment. We also let them know that we have been long-time supporters and contributors to AILF and we will fully do our part to fight what comes.

Recieved much awaited emails today, "Card/Document Production Ordered" emails for both my wife and myself.
My PD is 05/04/2006, TSC.

09/01/10 - opened an SR with USCIS for myself -- didn't hear anything about it
09/08/10 - congressman's office followed up with TSC. got the reply that the file is with an office and should hear something by the end of the month or sooner.
09/15/10 - got the CPO emails/text messages. Didn't have any SLUD's before that.
I wish good luck everyone waiting for GC.

I am going as per the last update from IV core. Thay have asked us to start calling from Monday. I am just following that message.
Personally I feel the hearing and the vote in committee may happen suddenly. So don't think you will be able to watch it live.
On the side note I am feeling a very positive energy about this bill. In fact I am feeling passage of this bill right through to the President's desk without any changes. I am sure all are feeling the same way.
Hi Junglee, when is HR5882 scheduled again?
Is it tomorrow or on 18th?
Thanks.

If the rumor turns out to be true in two days, I strongly believe it's a conspiracy.
When the CIR was revived, there was a strong feeling that the senate will pass based on the negotiations. Since CIR is horrible for those who are currently in line(including us), somebody/some group panicked and triggered the bulletin.
Now that CIR is officially dead and buried, status-quo is OK, so thought that somebody/some group.
Oh well....
I only pity the H4s out there.

I think the blood drive is a great idea...draws media attention and serves a just cause!!!
Calling IV leadership to organize this all across the country!!!
I would love to donate blood, however I am illegible because of Mad Cow disease. In addition, if you've traveled anywhere with Malaria, I believe you can't within 1 year. If you've lived in a Malaria area, you can't for 3 years.

Its been over 3 hours now that I informed CapitalOne that the discrimination is illegal. And as expected, no reply received yet.
You scared the HR. He/she would have never thought you will get back to them with this info :D
I was talking to a reqruiter the toher day and he told me of a case where he placed a candidate with EAD and within weeks the EAD expired and the renewal did not come in time, though they managed to clear out the issue, the company seems to be uncomfortable dealing with the EAD shit, thats what he told me.

everyone,
please also post the detail about when was your H1 approved. In which month and year. It might be possible that recently approved H1 is talking more time... just my guess.. if we post about H1 approval time frame then it will help us to decide something about which cases are taking more time..

I can send all the details .. including the evidences, can u assure me of anonymity and protection under whistle blower category ??? Dude r u kidding me ... we are talking about a complaint against a Billion Dollar firm and its resources.. do u expect me to give the details in this open forum ... BTW do u still think that I am tunnel rat???
I support you L1Fraud.
Guys: This has become a major problem at every place. If we do not take any action, every one of us will be replaced by these BIG outsource companies with L1 and B1.
I already reported this to ICE about violations of CTS which has placed their L1's at client's place for the past 2 years. And still they have several people.
You may not believe their pay. I do not want to put a number here and it will be a shame on CTS for misusing L1. They replaced 18 American Workers at my client's pace. Whatever you guys might think, this is a FRAUD.

The OP is great. He has created a new id to discuss L1 fraud. Will he be creating one id per issue... recapture, H1B abuse, outsourcing, backlogs?? wow!!!
Not sure why he wants his/ her identity covered up. This shows how good some of us are in trying to make noises in the dark and not doing anything about issues in hand.
In all, I still don't understand why L1Bs cannot work at Client site. I am sure that the L1 petitions specifically ask for Client site / work location. If Client site address is mentioned, the USCIS does approve the petition. If it is against law, they will not approve the petition. I know this for a fact since some of my friends are on L1.
How many times in this thread I have mentioned that I am getting replaced by one of these L-1B resource, I am a poor Oracle/DB developer who fortunately cannot be replaced by L-1B visa resources (as my skills is a common technical one). So once these violations impact your day to day life you look around for ways to stop this fraud. Its true that if I was a Nuero Surgeon in Phily or a Astro Scientist in Houston I wouldn't be interested in this violation :-) .... tomorrow let this scenario happen to you ... you would be first one to raise the alert.
Regarding 'getting burnt', I don't think there is bigger burn than loosing our jobs (which already is happening) and hope you know that there is something called 'anonymity'... ya lets see whos going to get 'burnt' here. We'll definetly keep you updated regarding the outcome.

All due respect for your thoughts. You just want to lie that you will go back? ...and that is thinking differently?
Please dont even bring up freedom struggle into this. Obviously its seems like you know less than what you think you know about it. It will even weaken the point you are trying to make. Gandhi didnt only preach peace. He also preached many other things....speaking the truth for example.
Thinking differently isnt bad. It just came to my mind that this may also be tried.
I think we have proved something like this not very long back about 60-70 years back. We have set bonfires of all our imported clothes and said NO to anything made in Britain. Right. So what did we really mean. I am sure many brands we wear today are international too. Nothing wrong.
Why did somebody show the other side to be slapped, did he like to be slapped. Its to get the point across.
Its a way of protest, a peaceful way to get attention to a problem which must be fixed.
If most of you dont agree, then I may be wrong, lets see response.
But lets always maintain that they do care and its a two way requirement and not just ours. We may be desperate due to system failure, but they are too, else there wouldnt be an immigration program. Most countries dont have, if I am not wrong. Its different with US which is a big country and same is the case with Canada which is trying to build.They need people.

Can we do a blood drive next as protest! seriously. Donate blood as protest and for media attention.
I totally agree with this. A blood drive is a WONDERFUL idea. If we can get enough media outlets to cover this story it will send the right message to the Federal government. I think this will be HUGE. test101 - you are a genius !!
IV core - please consider this.
