Guys, this is the time to show the core group that we are a bunch of people thankful that there is IV to help us fight this fight.
We need to stand united and raise awareness and sign up for the $20minimum a month recurring contribution.
I understand that some of you do intend to contribute and have contributed generously in the past,
But here are some mindsets, All of us fall in these 4 mindsets.
1) you probably think "why should I sign up for a monthly recurring contribution program". I am a generous contributor and I contribute almost monthly anyways.
2) I have contributed enough.
3) I will contribute if I feel like, when I see something comming out of this effort.
4) I do not have to contribute.
If you are in category 1).I can tell you, I understand because I have been a generous contributer in the past. But guys, the reason I signed up for a monthly recurring contribution is that it helps IV know that 'X' amount of funds are guaranted every month, this way they can better plan.
Category 2) Contributed enough - Okay why dont just sign up for a minimum amount of $20/month once more. What is enough is not enough.
Category 3) This has been discussed, I do not want to talk about this category of members.
Category 4) Again - No Comments-
Lets show the core team that all of us fall in the first 2 categories.
The last thing we want the core to do is bite their fingers over funds. We want do not want the core to get stressed out over funds. They have enough real work to do already.
Inspite of being a serious team player, and a generous contributor it took me two days to sign up for the recurring monthly contribution program, so I give all of the ones that have not set up a monthly recurring contribution benefit of doubt. But this is our last chance, I urge you to be one of the 2000 people we need for this effort. Need 898 members

Chintu: Explain Wash sale rules too... taxes are a pain with day trading.
Also, ppl on H1B have to be really careful about not getting classified as "active traders." That IMHO could jeopardize status. All who want to get into day trading, do your research. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
Investments are not reflected on W2. If you use a broker such as TDAmeritrade etc they will issue you a 1099
You will receive an IRS Consolidated Form 1099 - an all-inclusive document showing your reportable income and transactions for the entire tax year - if your brokerage account received at least $10 in either dividends, interest or original issue discount (OID) income, or had an equity sale, in the 2008 tax year.
- You will not receive a Consolidated Form 1099 for a retirement account, tax-exempt account, corporate account or foreign account.
- In addition, you may receive a corrected Consolidated Form 1099 if you held an investment trust that reclassified income after this form was sent to you.
There are 2 sets of rates.
1. Short Term Captial Gains
2. Long Term Capital Gains Taxes
Short term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held less than one year before selling.
Long time term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held more than one year before selling.
Long term capital gains taxes are less than short term capital gains taxes.
If you don't sell the stock, there is no tax on the capital gains.
The amount of tax depends your tax bracket.
The taxes on dividends are usually less than short term capital gains tax. So if you have a stock that is about to pay a dividend, get the dividend before selling, as that will reduce your capital gains.
Hope this helps

I read all your posts. I am sure you are just an anti-immigration guy. why do you pretend being Chinese and pretend being EB1? just try to devide our EB community? Shame on you! You even don't have courage to show us who you really are.
America is country of Immigrants. Diversity visa allows everyone come. Prevents USA become small India, Mexico or China. Think from people who wrote USA law mind. We too narrow and think about only MY Greencard.

Can you also post what decision you have made regarding changing employers or if you are waiting till next month for PD availability?
In the same situation as you are in.
Decided to move on to the new employer. Let's see what happens.

Rep.Darell Issa (NY) has introduced a bill to end the Diversity Lottery program and give the 55k visas to EB applicants with advanced US Degrees. This is a pretty exciting development (at least to me).
I think this is a great starting point that we should all jump on to clear EB backlogs.
Link:
Bill Summary & Status - 112th Congress (2011 - 2012) - H.R.43 - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.00043:)
In the three days - Jan 5, 6 & 7, there were 75 bills referred to the House Judiciary Committee. This was one of the 75. Very likely, this is just posturing and nothing more.

I think Kerry(i think it is actually Kennedy E who introduced it - SA180 , SA 187 did not have anyhting to do with us it was for Women centers) di dnot have any good intentions for us in troducing this.If you see on Thomas(or congress.gov and search for HR2, see the fourth version, and check out amendments), SA180 was amendment to SA143 (this is by our friend Jeff Sessions). So most probably it was part of politics. Also this status says both these amendments wer eintroduced in Senate but thats it, they did not pass.
Yes, you are right, I got confused and removed my post. Yes, the 180 one was the right one.
So, should we call or e-mail sen. Kennedy and ask him to push forward?

Pattern seems to indicate - ND and no complications, leads to approval! PD does not seem to hold any relevance as long as it is current! All of those who filed in 2007 and are current - will likely get it this month! Those, like me, who filed in last year's window can hope to get it by next year!
Congrats to all those who got their GC!
Those who did not - of course, have to be patient - it will come one day!

Wendall,
All she said was that I will be hearing from them within 60 days. When I tried to ask more questions she said "Sir, I told you 60 days, consider that a very good answer". She would not say any more. Maybe she saw that it was already approved but probably they are not allowed to tell that to us over the phone till we get the approval email and said that in a cryptic way.
Lasantha,
When you called TSC prior to your GC approval, what did the IO at TSC tell you?
I'm asking because I know your RD was June 2007, when I called TSC today they told me that they have not got to my I-485 application because they are currently working on I-485 applications with RDs of April 2007 and my RD is June 2007 like yours.
Thanks!

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
What was in "our" favor in the last stimulus bill? Which bill are you talking about?

Hi, Can somebody let me know, what would happen if first labor was approved from BPC (Not from PERM) and 2nd Labor is being filed in PERM (both from same employer)? Would DOL automatically deny the first labor or do some audit?

Where can i download a sample 485 form? I am thinking of getting all the papers in order and then sending it to the lawyer, this way we can avoid errors from lawyer side. For this i need pdf format of all the forms. if someone can get hold of all the pdf forms and upload here/somewhere else it will help everyone.
Here are the list of forms that is needed.
