Here is how I made up my mind to go to the Rally.Most of us waited for an average of at least 3 years in my case, this is my 10th year waiting to get a Green Card after two failed attempts of starting the process and changing employers in 1999 and 2000 and counting. All of us really don't know how many more years do we need to wait and getting extensions every year, either for your visa or for your travel Parole, or your EAD. Most of us are tracking our receipts now, why, because we don't have a transparent system, did you get an LUD, Did you get a FP notice how come I did not get one, where is my application, did your application get to TSC, was it transferred to NSC, what did your lawyer tell you, why did my lawyer tell me this way.
Why are we all passionately managing and exchanging so much information, because we have no clue what is happening behind the scenes. All of us know there are a very few who will get a green card tomorrow, but for most of us, we keep tracking to see anything in the change of status. Feeling uncertain is not a good feeling, I felt it for the last 6 years. How long will an employer wait patiently for you, how long will your wife wait to see she can work, how long will your in-laws respect you when you said during marriage, oh she will be able to work very soon:), how long will you keep convincing yourself, everything will be fine if I just sit and do nothing?
THAT IS WHY I SHOWED UP, THE SENSE OF SATISFACTION IS IMMENSE TO STAND UP AND PETITION. TO MEET LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION!
But the feeling of "being uncertain" made me go. The excitement that I could meet so many many of you who work selflessly and volunteer so much of your time was priceless.
When we finally reached there, we saw moms, who had kids volunteering, sometimes we had babies, kids in the situation room helping mom organize things, we had people drive from far places, leaving kids in neighbors/baby sitters home and had to drive back late night for 2 3 hours to get back to them. We had people hit the bed at 4 am in the morning and show up the next day all suited up and ready to meet lawmakers at 7 am. That made our trip look so simple!
Guys we respect everyone's reasons, yes we do have lots of genuine reasons and it is not for me to judge personal reasons on how important they are. The point I am trying to make is purely this, think it through and see how you life was or will get affected by this process. Many of you filed your 485 and are instantly gratified that things are fine. I can't stress enough that this is not the case. When I got to file in June I was very excited, I used to see LUDs, FP, got EAD, Travel Parole and everything and then nothing happened. It stays there and from all the statistics, numbers and logic that we all apply, it will stay that way for years. If you think you are out of the woods, think again, all it did was from one stage of the clog, now we are clogged to the other stage of clog. If you think you are now easy to move around, change your jobs, think again. It is extremely complicated with no guarantees that the USCIS officer will interpret your job duties that same way!
Sometimes during discussions we all think, what is it that is stopping you all to come, sometimes after working so hard there does happen a feeling, what reason is big enough for them to not show up, when we did. So please don't get offended either way, we want all of you, we want everyones support and keeping egos asides, lets think how best can we speak in one Voice! Lets all be involved with IV activities, action items and work on it passionately. Remember each of your voice makes Immigration Voice stronger and be heard better!!!

You have a great plan, come to US on H1 and within 6 months get EAD and you are free from H1b crackdown by jumping to EAD. You think USCIS, Grasley, sanders, and anti eb folks are a bunch of idiots, they will send you and me packing with the same rfe they are hitting h1 folks with if everybody gets to pre file AOS and get EAD. that is why you need to strengthen ac21 by removing same\semilar job condition and other potential h1 like rfe's, otherwise you will drag us down along with you and turn ead into h1.
How tough it is to get PERM approval nowadays with the economy being what it is. Previously we had some reasonable times, but now every application is being scrutinized closely. It's not as easy as 6 months after landing in the US to get PERM approval and be able to file for EAD.
Your arguments have a flavor of "Let me in and shut the door". So please go away and start your own thread for reforming AC21.

Actually I am the first person who pitched the idea to IV of Issuing Temporary GC when visa is retrogressed.
Looks like some bill must have been sneaked in and passed and been signed to law by our honorable prez. I WISH. :D

Those who do talk and blame in the anonymity of the web andnever do anything and keep hiding behind their closets expecting sky to fall are the one who "don't wear clothes"
Chandu, you made me laugh (in a fun way, not in the making fun of you way). Hiding is done inside the closet, not behind it. Maybe lack of clothes is explainable because one is "behind" the closet :)
On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
I have absolutely no right to ask that question because i have never contributed money. But when i am told that I dont have access to this thread or that thread because I am not a donor...I do have the right to question if this organization actually represents all immigrants or just the donors?? If the motto of IV becomes "Change for fairness and justice (For Donors Only)" then it would make a lot more sense to me. But as long as IV keeps on harping that they represent the plight of legal immigrants (which I am) then I do have the right to ask the question ..."What exactly has IV done?"
Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).

It has been mentioned earlier in the post that since this amendment has the status of "lie on the table" it will never be considered. Does anyone know (those who have been folowing the immigration debates for last couple of yrs or generally congerssional procedures ) that this amendment is already dead or have there been cases where such "lie on the table" amendments are reconsiderd for voting

No one is talking about what happened in Apr-2001. Bill Clinton allowed all illegal aliens to file AOS in EB-3 category. That brought estimated 8-10 million filings in Jan-Apr 2001 under EB-3 category. That's why it took so long for EB-3 to get past Apr-2001. With EB-3 having a number cap, I still have a feeling that those estimated 8-10 million are still floating around in the system and dragging EB-3 category. Any thoughts on this?

Can you send multiple applications in the same package.
Coz. my attorney gave me a tracking number and there are almost 4 names in the reference section of the Fedex Online Tracking System.
Same here. There were three other names for my tracking number. I guess that's OK.

This is a public and OPEN forum,
Insulting TheOmbudsman it's just not acceptable, I though we were all H1B educated people who are open to discussion, not just a child crying and insulting as soon as someone contradicts you.
I know many people who stopped comming to this forum (contributing), they just get tired of those insults. If someone has a different opinion, is immediately insulted

factory man dont talk non-sense!!!!!! what is the goal your trying to achive!!!!! will you get anything????? tell us! if we suceed in preventing the release of 90,000 visa for scheduled A (nurses and PT. do you think they would allocate these visa for H1B... i dont think so factory man.
factory man just always look at both sides of the coin.
HLG is also firmly committed to EB relief for other classes -- such as the reform pushed by the SKIL Bill proponents, AILA, immigrationvoice, and other like minded groups � and is actively lobbying for those reforms as well. Our experience in advocacy is that the worst thing that can happen is that like minded groups pull others down. We've never talked to a Congressional staffer who believes that there is a "zero-sum" of immigrant visas. Our opinion is that we should all work together to help all visa classes, and that no one who wants EB visa reform should lobby against, say, a Schedule A carve-out.
Those commentors in favor of immigration reform should also recognize that a Schedule A carve-out helps ALL EB visa applicants by taking visas out of the general EB3 visa classification. In other words, every EB3 applicant moves that much closer to the end of retrogression.
STOP ACTING LIKE A CRAB (GET RID OF THE CRAB MENTALITY)
remember "ENVY IS ONE THE MOST DEADLIEST SIN"

I try to remind citizens (people i know) that they are offspring of immigrants...the point I struggle with is "how to convince them that they should actively support CURRENT LEGAL IMMIGRATION". Most of them feel that there is a system (which we know is broken) in place.
Maybe the discussion point should be LEGAL IMMIGRATION is normal phenomenon. The system is broken at multiple points (slow processes/supply-demand of visa numbers/wasted visa numbers/country limits etc). We are trying to FIX broken system and need voter group's support in that.
My request to you all is...bring awareness about inefficient broken system to everyone you meet...and we may have a chance of positive discussion.
I did sometime back.
Given thanksgiving is barely a week away, we can be certain of the usual platitudes directed at immigrants - this is a good time to remind the average American how far they have strayed from their roots and forgotten the true sentiment behind the tradition. Immigrants have always been hated and reviled by those that got here earlier - but the current anti-immigrant sentiment is vastly different in scale and sophistry due to the times we live in. If every IV member signs up 10 citizens to the immigrant cause, we should easily be 100,000 strong in a couple of weeks. It could be anyone from your advisor at school who mentored you to your buddies at work - even the stinkin relatives should be harassed. Though CIS and Numbersusa pretend that they are a product of the current anti-illegal sentiment, they started out much before the so-called 'wave' started. And they have adapted and honed their strategies very well to crush whatever relief Congress contemplates/passes. Consider the way CIS was initially dedicated to 'researching' immigrant issues that they would complain about the media's positive stories about immigrant contributions as merely anecdotal evidence not worthy of rebuttal. Now they are suddenly fond of anecdotal evidence themselves since experts began demolishing their claims of job-stealing and other baseless charges convincingly(esp CFR's Sebastian Mallaby) using empirical evidence-they shamelessly stoop to use someone's sob story to make their case. So, as repugnant as their motives are, they are too transparent for their own good- and they can't cover their tracks -which is good for us since we are appealing to the fair minded. Remember - every one in the US is an immigrant or an offspring of one. They have always been hated and reviled -so if someone who benefited from the immigrant tradition of this nation wants to turn around and deny it to those following him/her even though their ancestors did the same thing at a great emotional/economic cost to the then existing natives- they have a higher bar in explaining why the current bunch shouldn't continue to benefit from the great tradition-merely being bigoted but sophisticated enough to hide it isn't enough. so don't lose heart but dont sit on your ass either.

...Ahimsa, I hope you understand this is a platoonic conversation between us...
If you mean "platonic", yes ours is no doubt a friendly conversation.
I agree CIR will be modified but our EB reliefs (for existing EB applicants) are not controversial (ilegal immigration reliefs and H-1B increase are the most controversial), right?
I hope there would be some form of CIR with EB reliefs that both Dems and President would agree on.
Thanks

In 2004, a friend moved within the same Multinational company (A) from one business (A1) to another (A2). The HR department did not apply for an H1 transfer assuming that one was not needed, and the friend worked for a few months before the business A2 was sold off, and the new company realized the mistake, and filed for her H1 transfer, which was approved. The new company then filed for her labor and got her I-140 approved.
Can the friend now file for AOS? Was the period that she worked for A2 'unauthorized'? Does that preclude her from adjusting her status now?
