Yesterday I contributed $500 one time.
Today I have scheduled $50 per month as well.
I agree with those who say IV should start taking a Membership Fee. Even a token amount of membership fee like $10 per month would make a huge difference.
Core team, request you to please consider this suggestion very seriously.
Thanks!

can you be more specific on what ur "very influential" attorney said? ;)
That is not true, my lawyer who is very influential and he has some good contacts he told me that this year spill-over would be different form last year. I was stupid so didn’t believe him about July 2007, and paying it for now for not having EAD.
I know this is hard to believe especially if something comes from lawyer.

Not sure about which bank would be good but whichever bank you choose make sure that they give you a statement of how much interest you paid over the year. Most people don't realize that you can deduct interest paid for a home loan in India is tax deductible in the US. Just FYI.

priti8888, What is the USCIS 485 processing date in your senario?
Your Receive Date is a factor but PD is also a big factor, if limited number available.
If two person has submitted their application. One has PD 2001 and RD June 10 2007 and other had PD Jan 2006 with RD May 1 2006.
USCIS 485 Processing Date: June 15th 2007 and Visa Bullitin has "C"
Still PD with 2001 will get the the number first before PD 2006 case.
So
485 RD < USCIS 485 Processing date and PD < Visa Bulletin date
Order by PD desc
hope this help
I am still confused in regards to who whould be eligible for a visa number.
For instance (assumption:all other factors same for both A and B(name check, country etc)
Senario A
EB3
PD 2004
485 receipt date 2005
OR
Senario B
EB3
PD 2003
485 receipt date 2006
So under present circumstances when everything is current, who whould get alloted a visa number first??

I see that most of the people who initially responded to my first post about the southern california state chapters have some recent activity i.e. they have visited this website in the last 2 days after my last posting requesting you to e-mail me about your availability for a conference call today. Not one of you has responded to my request to e-mail me.
I just want to make you all aware that IV core members can do a limited amount of work. They are definitely not superhumans although we expect them to be as such. If we fail in our efforts to secure any retrogression relief we will have only ourselves to blame in such a situation. Besides this is a very ripe time to be active and talk to politicians here in Southern California region. I would like to reschedule the conference call for the coming week/weekend depending on your availability.
In the end our best intentions and best wishes are not going to get us the immigration relief we want. We also cannot blame IV core team if we do not start working and lending them a hand. The choice is clearly ours. I hope that all of us will be more forthcoming and open to spending some time on IV work in the future.
Regards
Amit

Not that I say we need change, but this is a public organization. Everyone has a right to call for election. There is nothing wrong.
Only issue is, whoever wants to contest has to come out with public profile as mentioned by someone before. There are only few people who are openly public and with known real identity on this forum - thats sad!
I am surprised to see that IV has 450K asset! Where did that number come from?
Ever been a member of a public radio station? to vote or contest in an election you have to be a paid member. Do you think N**usa will entertain you if you go to their website and call for change?

Great news for EB2 folks.
If EB2-I moves to June 2006 then EB2 C will almost be in the same or better position. So June 2007 bulletin folks aka EB2-C (Jan 2006) will be the main beneficiary. EB2 I folks who are lucky with RD before the current processing dates (mid July) can expect surprise mails. Good luck

I just now talked to an IO and she said that last Friday the processing dates for NSC are all wrong and its a mistake. Those will be corrected soon in couple of days.
here we go again....looks like USCIS never learns by their mistakes.........anyways I feel Processing dates does not matter anyways for USCIS to process the applications..........

i had run these numbers a while back. for sure EB2 will reach the end of 2005 this year. i just hope its done systematically so that they clear everybody with an EB2 2005 PD this year.
Trust me, my friend - I surely believe in systematic movement and by this june/july it will be Dec05 or beyond. Dates for EB2 have stayed around apr04 for really longer and then suddenly to 06. Very few perms were cleared in 05 (as per your posting). It should logivcally be past 2005 , never to go back.BTW ,we missed GC last aug/sept lotto

I am confused by your post.. who's side are you on? :D
Seeing ur quote I remember another quote..
Though What I am going to tell is not in the context of D.C.Rally
Late Indian Prime Minister P.V.Narasimha Rao has a great quote, which he often quoted to reporters at interviews, where he was silent on many burning issues of his time and later used to say
"Not taking a decision also a decision."

Folks,
I do not think, the video of 9 minutes covered everything that speaker was presenting. It is not fair to judge or even compare the educational systems of India, China and US.
I guess if you listen carefully and understand what he is trying to say..
India produces - 350K engineers
China -- 600K...
US - 70K Engineers..
This is as per a research done and he was referring to the research done. What he is suggesting is, it is not fair to compare here because In China, every one with diploma is an engineer and all that.
Coming to India, MNCs have already said, current crop of majority of engineers are not employable. They are trained by so called MNCs because it is inexpensive to do so..
The US produces approximately 70K, but they are quality engineers (something to that effect).
Bottomline, why do people want Indians or chinese, because they work hard.
He was also telling some stories about how china is investing and providing tax breaks/investments (JVs) to companies to start R & D in China..
In the end, he was outlining the power of legal immigration and need to provide permanent residencies otherwise they become US competitors from India/china..
I think, before concluding one way or other, friends, please try to get the complete picture. I dont think we have complete information covered in the Video.
Indian culture, heritage 5000 years old. Indian education is gift of britishers, hence needs some adjustments to suit the current global competition.
At the same time US has its flaws too, but either try to deal with it or perish.
The power to change or transform is in our (Individual) hands..Every one has a choice. You choose - win some and lose some -- and die one day with nothing. This is life.
Thanks and Regards

What about the issues like not following RD or PD?
What about being rude on the call?
What about the wild fluctuation in the bulletein?
Should we let these thing to continue?
What we are expecting after this calc. camp ? I dont think so they will revise bulletin nor they will give single extra visa above 140k. I think we should focus on HR 5882 .. We should send something to lawmakers.
Just a thought.

I agree with this little bit but to implement will be tough. There are people coming into US on h1 and leaving every year from big indian consulting companies. It should be like below.
1. Priority date should be date when the person enters the country.
2. The person should have paid taxes consecutively for n years(n=3.4.5...)
3. This should be applicable only for H1 and not for any other visa categories.
If the above is not possible, then
1. Labor substiution should be allowed only for the person who is in US continiously for n years(n=3.4.5...) and paid taxes. With this approach, a new comer cannot get the exisitng labor. Win Win to all.
I love the clause # 3 "This should be applicable only for H1 and not for any other visa categories".
You probably are not aware but "big Indian consulting" firms are not the largest contributors to the U.S economy that this stand will fly. IT is being outsourced faster than a New York minute, so please don't live in a state of ignorance. When you say "This should be applicable only for H1 and not for any other visa categories", this will exclude PhD�s and post-docs and engineers who spend any where from 2 to 6 years on F1 visas before they even get to work on H1 visas. You probably are not aware but 40% of doctorate degrees are awarded to foreign nationals in the U.S and your proposed amendments would put "employees of big consulting firms" from India ahead all those folks I mentioned earlier. For some reason this is a very difficult concept to digest.

Learning01,
There is too much curbing of free speech, you admins are taking a heavy handed approach to discussions. Deleting posts at will, diverting topics at whims and fancies...
Let there be discussins, there is nothing wrong in floating ideas.. allow members to express. Not every idea needs to be implemented.
This sort of arrogance is not going help anybody's cause.
Just my two cents...

Here is my point. I spend several hours 3-4 hours at least every day looking through the forum posts hoping to find ways i can contribute to efforts. There are several ideas that are generated in the forum. But cannot find out who is leading it. All i am saying is if we can have a listing of initiatives with some names associated. So i can contribute to the ones that i can support.
I am not sure if i am asking for too much here. I am not a IT guy. I do not know what it takes to post it in the front page.
