I cannot believe that after everything that's happened over the last year or so, out of how many thousands of members of this group - just 199 of us called??
What are we doing as a group of people? Is it such a wonder that this country isn't moving on our immigration woes when we ourselves won't pick up the phone and talk to somebody about our troubles?
Wow-talk about complete and total apathy....I'm ashamed on behalf of each and every one those people who think they'll let someone else solve their problems - in which case I hope they don't ever complain about their lot in life. They have no right to.
Absolutely shameful...

I know this is probably asking for trouble but no movement can be credible without listening to the dissenting voices. So here is my gripe ... You cannot open a single thread or forum without being asked for contributions these days. People are told that if they dont contribute, they are not "supporting the cause".
But the stark reality is this... If you look at the IV website to see what action/progress has been made in "the cause"....there is some vague statement about Patton Boggs and how we have this lobbyist who is educating congressmen...Who exactly? How? When? Oh those details cannot be given.
There is a link about IV in the news...the last time IV was in the news was in Sept 2007 ...19 MONTHS AGO...
Then there is a link about IV and FBI namechecks...The last update is some thread in Feb 08 and this brilliant statement from 2007 ..."IV has met officials from agencies and has raised this issue in the recent past. We have been informed that there is an effort being undertaken to significantly reduce name check backlogs in the next 6 months." SERIOUSLY?? You really expect that you can convince people to contribute based on this flimsy evidence of doing "something" that you really cant tell us ??
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.
And this new caste system of the DONOR forum which basically says screw you to everyone who has spent time, money or effort on IV and completely goes against the "Change for fairness and Justice" mumbo jumbo is a step in the right direction, IV needs to give way to an actual movement that actually does something and this DONOR forum concept will certainly go a long way in the marginalization of this site and community.
You did say it is a gripe so fair enough.
"IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing," - what does that mean? I have been repeatedly told, that IV is us and we should be coming up with a plan of action if we want to do something. Do you disagree ? I am currently going on that assumption, no ?

It is hard to compare Canada vs India. India as other problems. If you want finance sector jobs then it is Bombay. It involves long travel
of 2 hours in locals each way. 4 hours travel...there is no personal time left after work. I personally cant take it...it might be different
for others. Power problems, traffic jam etc is there. It about what you consider quality of life, and that is different from person to person.
coming to US/Canada vs india, my friend who went back to india after 6 yrs here on h1b last april, says that he has adjusted back to his life there.......he has power cuts,limited water supply,traffic jams,long commute,sarkari issues like bills etc (hes in delhi)but he has accepted that as a part of life just like the first 25 yrs of his life when he was in india......so its very subjective and a matter of personal choice.......if u are ready to adapt,then u will be fine but if u always keep comparing ur lifestyle here v/s in india in terms of "quality of life" then u'll not b satisfied

Encourage your friends to call for themselves and your co workers on your behalf.
if you can talk to your boss and have him/her call on behalf of your organization explaining the difficulty, its even better.
Yes, this is true with any representative we call.
The rep will be given a tally of X ppl called in support of which Y were our constituents. The more Y's we get, the better on any call, but X's are also necessary to call. The more US employers are part of Y, even better. I managed to get 3 local friends to call.
keep up the good work fellows.

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
It is taking average of 1 year for I140. And there is a possibility of PERM audit , which can derail all your plans.

Looks like the Leadership of the house is changing.
Interestingly I heard one of the republican commentators comment that whatever happens, including if the republicans lose there will be a change in the house minority republican leadership, he was putting forward people like Pence and Shadegg as the new leaders(they have been pro SKIL bill). In other words, No Hastert, No Sensenbrenner etc in the committees.
Interestingly in the districts that republicans ran anti-immigrant platform, they lost badly. One of the bellweathers districts for that in Arizona, Candidate Graf(who got the republican nomination by his very hard anti illegal immigration platform) lost heavily to a democrat who is pro CIR. There are many more such examples (Sen. Santorum is another example). Thse results bode well for legislation as long as the issue comes up for debate again in this congressional year.
Who knows, now the house republicans might even be willing to consider it in the lame duck session, as atleast they will get to have some say in it. Will be interesting in the next few months.

This time let's do it different. Ideas?
Shall we offer a prayer in the major church for all congress men to do the needful so that people will come to know the problems we are facing and we'll have to attend the prayer in IV shirts.
Put adds on major news even if it cost's us urging all legal high skill workers to attend the prayer.

Hi Totoro,
please be so kind and explain me what exactly shall I say to the SSN Office about why I apply for SSN non-work. If they ask me to proof that I need a SSN to get Economic Stimulus Payment, what shell I do??
How is posible to get a SSN non-work to get Economic Stimulus Payment if you didn't work. How can you make tax return without to work. ?? Sorry for all this question but I really don't understand. But i'm shure that you will be very nice and you will explain me how it's work.
Thank you,
lelica
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

In real life, when resources become less and scarce - even blood relatives fight and kill each other. We here don't even know each other.
The only solution is to create more resources to avoid fighting - Please donate for advocacy days and hopefully we won't need to be in the mess any longer.

SmSm,
Good to know you are pursuing a part time MBA. For people stuck inthe GC dilemma, further education is really a good oiption.
For folks around Philadelphia, if you are looking for a good part time programs, Wharton Business school is offering evening programs (Certificate) for Working Professionals. For me it was really a good experience doing the program.

You could have called the local finger print office, and asked to move to another day because of travel. They let me come in 2 weeks early because of a flight. I had tickets in hand but they didn't ask to see.

You don�t deserve a red dot. Thanks for explaining the need for action in a passionate way. I know it does not matter, but gave a green dot anyways.

It takes a lot of balls to lead and very few have it. I joined IV with with very little expectation and have been primarily circumspect of what can be done. But have I lost hope no. Lets look at the +ve side of this debate. There is pent up frustration and general disdain for the system so far. So lets all collectively make an effort to address the situation. What will happen is anybody's guess!!!! We will eventually get what we deserve.
To the core team once again, please keep momentum. We will help in whatever capacity you need.
