With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.
I started discussion by asking , how can IV convince me that my donation is going to help, I got shot down by ARROGANT ******** and got all reds as if I care. I was planning on a charity/donation drive of my own to get some money for IV.
Know lot of consultants, who really dont know what to do with their miles with every one a executive airline status.
Already have 10+ people pledging Poker tournament from my poker group with their miles for Airlines and hotels. We are talking of a Million AA miles.
Indian restaurants(s) having a Immigration week where a dollar of each bill be given to IV.
I was even thinking of standing at Indian stores in Dallas to ask people to consider for IV cause, as long as I believed and hence was asking.
I was just getting started with so many ideas for my free time.
Good luck in what ever you do guys. Note that GC is not everything and note that I am still on extended H1, family on H1 and EAD never helped me. so assumption that EAD helped my life is baseless. All these hypocrites are long gone from IV once they get GC. All we get is response that Mr X or Y , even after getting GC, is working fro cause. How can I believe.
Any organization can be successful if there are questions answered and not shot down. Just working at DC doesnt make some one a strong contributor for IV.Work at grass root level is so imp. What I have noticed is any one who went to DC has become headstrong, egoist and arrogant as if they own IV.
Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one
Gisa pita dialogue,...dont ask what IV has done,, ask yourself what you have done... COMMON
Here it is, I can write in BOLD and RED
Whom are you trying to fool?
You are only showing what a fool you are.
If you wanted to do anything you would have done something since June 2007 when you became a member. What did you do since then?
Now your PD is getting current and you are close to Greencard. You WILL NOT do anything. But you will become an anti-immigrant for sure as someone wrote on the forum. As I understand, nobody is here to convince anyone else. Everyone is dong it because they want to do it for their application and they are doing the right thing. IV is a non profit. Each person is supporting because they feel they need to help themselves by helping IV.

I talked with my lawyer yesterday, was informed that American immigration lawyers association (AILA) is filing for a class action lawsuit against DOL. There has been about 40% cases that are getting audited in Atlanta center. But after replying to queries, the center is not responding on a timely basis. There is light at the end of the tunnel.:)
# 5/15/2008 Atlanta National Processing Center Audit Survey
The AILA DOL Liaison Committee is gathering information about the increasing backlog of audited cases at the Atlanta National Processing Center (NPC). Please complete the brief survey of PERM audit processing and share your experiences with any audited case you have which is still pending at the Atlanta NPC. AILA Doc. No. 08051560.

well maybe, but our goals should be to convince a small group of just law makers, who are generally well educated, intelligent.
"Well educated and intelligent" - Who? Did you mean Durbin and Grassley?
Yes, I would like to see a new bill for reducing employment based backlog. I don't want to come across as a pessimist.

Sam,
I contributed $50 earlier today, your post has inspired me to make an offer, like what Anurakt has made."I will contribute $500 to IV if we sign-up 20 members for recurring $50/m OR 200 members for $20/m, whichever is earlier."
Thanks gsc999.
Lets see if members take your challange. I am sure they will.

I and manish flew monday morning sept 17th on a short notice to attend 11:30AM appointment and then again at 3:30 PM with nagaraj.
We had 2 more appointments on 18th with NH senators.
All the meetings were great and one them exceeded 30 minute schedule to 50 minutes.
It was great to meet all the members like aman, jay, paskal, kanika, meenal, nagaraj, pappu, gopal etc.
Paskal: Where is my beer?
Gopal: "Don't shoot the messenger" in the situation room.
jay: Speech pointing fingure to capitol hill behind him. "We are here on offence".
Mike: Step1 to step 5 entertainment
These are some, but not all, of the memorable things in DC.
I really had to mention pappu seperately.
He is a dedicated person to this cause and needs special mention. I really enjoyed his company in the bus on our return journey to NH. We shooted all possible questions and got convincing answers.
Thanks again for the wonderful experience.
It was a true vacation.:eek::eek:

I recently renewed my passport at DC embassy. It was not a great experience. The online application system gave me a date of Nov 27th. I go to consulate on the scheduled time to find that the office is closed. There were many like me who had come from far in cold to submit applications. With no choice we go back on 30th and there is huge line and only one window open. The lady at window was efficient but it was just too much for one person. Took me 3 hrs to get to window after which it was flat 30 sec (since I had payment and everything ready).
They gave me a date of Jan 5th for the passport return. That was almost 5 weeks. Since I was not planning any trips I was OK but there were lots of folks who wanted to make India trip and were forced to opt for tatkal scheme. I guess a way to make money. My friend went to NYC around Nov 15th and got his passport in 3 working days.
There was no apology for wasting our time due to their mistakes in appointment system. Any ways I never expected any so no disappointment. I will post the forum once I get my new passport on how that goes.

I called less than half of the offices 54 (24.88%)
I did not call any 55 25.35%
WHY? Oh Why are you not calling? At least leave voice mails. It is Saturday today. It takes JUST 15 minutes to call and leave voicemails.
You will probably spend more time online hitting the 'refresh' button in IE to see if there are more updates about this bill.
Use that 15 minutes to call and make a difference. If you have the time to respond to the poll "I did not call any", why not take that time to call at least 1 person from the list?
Every voice makes a difference @ Immigration Voice.
Dont be shy asking friends and family to support. This is a democratic process. Fortunate are the few that have the ability to participate in such processes. This is DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.
Go ahead, make that ONE CALL. Dont put it off until "I get time". When will that be? After you have come to this site 100 times in 1 day looking for more updates?
PLEASE MAKE THESE CALLS.

Guys, here the form to file a complaint on L1A - EB1 misuse by indian IT companies
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/wh-4.pdf
Here's the process..http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/forms/fts_wh4.htm
If you have a genuine case and know the company name who resort to these shady practices, Please fill this form and send it across to DOL. You do not need to provide your personal information if you are not willing to. Rest, they will investigate and take care..
I am one of those who couldn't file in EB1 but that is past and long gone for me.
Enough is enough. I am ready to sign this.
I have 3 real names. All were working for Cognizant. One had 3 years of exp. Cooked up with 4 years of B.Tech and totalled it as 7 years. Came on L1 as PM and applied in EB1. He got GC in less than 1 year. Other 2 had real 7 years exp and got GC's in 8 months. All were working at Client's place and NOT intra company transfers.
I am not selfish. But I am sure this guy with 3 years exp may one day become a boss for any of us.
This misuse will hurt the genuine cases. Shall we we go serious and complaint? I am ready to sign and submit all the proof.

If they accept all 500k I-485 application. They will have more than 140k cases eligible for approval every year. I don�t see any visas will get wasted.
I agree, i am afried that this is going to back fire and would let USCIS waste visa numbers and we all can continue our wait ever after. Nice job

Are they not going to give the same message that you see on the online status page? How different is the case status info going to be from the online status page? I am curious to know ... so that I can call too.
Yes...but after they verbally repeat the same status message as the one online, politely request to be transferred to Level 2. Level 2 typically has a little more info on your case than the customer service agent that picked up your call initially.

chintu25,
I did not ask you to explain any thing to me. You needed to make a good argument on why this idea can channelize negative energy into positive and what are the risks involved. What can any one infer when you end your post with "Now lets play"? You might not have intended what it meant but it can mean different things to different people and I guess you would agree that there are people who think as I do about day trading. Please do not guess my knowledge of day trading and what it is limited to. Your initial post does not underscore the risks significantly. IMHO, Day trading fits a specific set of people who can not only handle the risk but also can handle the stress. Your feelings might be different. How ever, some one else pointed out the research done on day trading.
While I appreciate your noble intention to channelize the negative energy, the potential risk of getting a double whammy (immigration + stocks) needed to be underscored and I think did that. I will leave it there and do not want to take this discussion further on my opinions about day trading and it's nitty gritty.

I know there are plenty of suggestions flying around and here is my 2 cent, it may or may not make too much sense, but here it is.
We can rant about the difficulties of not getting a GC, make emotional pleas of our struggles all day, but nothing talks better than money. In the current scenario nothing will grab more attention if you can show how we contribute to the US govt and the US economy in monetary terms. Nothing else will get the attention of these lawmakers like money can. ;-)
Can we put out some numbers for the lawmakers, in terms of our contribution to federal & state taxes, social security, property taxes and overall economy by way of our purchasing power home, cars, appliances, vacations, etc (all the amount that you spend in the US) and multiply these numbers by the number of folks waiting to get GC or who have the GCs. I am sure when you add all this up it will be a significant number, which is bound to catch some attention. Assuming the majority of us make more than the average American, all these figures will definitely standout.
Also propose a one time fee of $10,000 to apply for GC right away. I am willing to pay this fee if USCIS can grant me a GC or provide us a way to stay and work legally in this country with no tie in to the employer. This could be a significant amount of revenue, especially when all lawmakers are looking to reduce the deficit and raise some income. As it is they are regularly increasing the visa fees to pay for some bill to the other like the 9/11 workers healthcare bill, etc. If a 100,000 folks(not sure how many are there in total) like us cough up $10,000 that could equal 1 billion. May seem small amount compare to the US deficit, but when you add up our total contribution it is significant. This may be totally outlandish, but I think something on this line is worth talking about. Like I said, nothing talks better than money.
Not sure if there have been other similar ideas, but if we can compile a few pages of such information with numbers, graphs, comparative charts etc and hand them out to the lawmakers it may help.
Comments and feedback welcome. May be this is totally a dumb idea, but if the admins think it makes sense willing to discuss and prepare something. Also this post is not meant to begin a debate or to distract us from our goal but just some thoughts.
PS: Have contributed in the past and intend to participate (financially and in person) on the Advocacy day.
Currently GC's are being sold for, more like, 500k (EB5 quota).. maybe we should be haggling to bring that down to 10000 or something, stating "startup" argument, and also the fact that it doesn't really take 500k to open a business that subsequently generates employment in the e-age. Some slogan like "untie our hands" ?
