Reservation? Yes, it is quite there in my home country. But then, there are many other private sector schools where you can educate your children. After their graduation, they can also work for private sector companies where reservation isn't implemented (yet). If you want to use government facilities only, then yes, you may have issues due to reservation. To tell you the truth, many of us grew up in an environment where people were divided based on cast, religion, geographies and everything else you can think of AND YET a majority of us did well in life. So, if you have it, you'll shine eventually.
In reality, isn't what we are dealing with in the US worse than reservation? Isn't your career restricted? Can you take care of your elderly parents the way you'd really want to? Can you always easily get a basic necessity like a new driver's license? The list goes on..

You are right. But many people came here at the middle of their carrier and they are struck here with their children education etc., They are bound to be here and there is no way. Further, in my country, there are still reservation policies in everything, which may prevent the kids in going in for the education line they like. I donot want to explain this more as I may be degrading my own mother country. In a nutshell, everyone who wish to be a citizen of this country will have lot of valid reasons for getting a citizenship in this country.

I wouldn't pass such judgement on immigration-law.com. They've acknowledged the mistake. It's not like no one makes any mistakes, it's how they acknowledge and move forward.
Immigration-law.com has made many many many mistakes especially considering the fact that they are lawyers. Lawyers by profession hardly ever make statements, since their profession is to make sure what they state is 100% accurate. They are more like a news sensation organization, so please there is no need to defend them. But people like us that includes me want this thing to work so bad that we go to their website for our vested interest and to give us some hope. They are more like a blog than a legal web-site.

As a start, I've decided to start walking in my office garage for half an hour before lunch.
This is a perfect example of motivation, time management and dedication to improving your lifestyle and IV.
Kudos to Needhelp!
My office is only on the 2nd floor of the building where I work, but at as much as possible, I take the stairs, going up as much as 4 flights and down as many as 18!!
Whether you are getting back into shape or trying to sustain a healthy life style, this is a perfect way to staying on top of your goal!! And in the process of self-improvement you are raising money for IV!! How noble is that!!:)

Contribute for what. I would , If I am told for what we are contributing. What are the real faces.
Don't contribute, come to DC and you will find & know all the faces behind IV
I am not one of those who can go advocate at places as I do not have luxury of it. I respect people who are going beyond their daily schedule and advocating, but what are the goals.
It is certainly not because I/others want to see the buildings that we are asking people to come to DC - and the people going in to the meetings will be advocating for their and your green card issues (whether you want it or not - these efforts will benefit everyone stuck in the EB backlogs including you!). Getting the green card backlogs cleared is the goal - and it is deplorable that after being a member since 2007, you do not know this.
I have been coordinating with IV for the past 2 years now and I have never had members (majority) - including you - once trying to find a way of helping in this cause. IV has had the campaign of meeting with lawmakers in their local districts at a time that is convenient for each member - IN THEIR OWN LOCAL TOWNS - and I can count my fingers and toes on how many have actually done it.
The sad part is that you come from a state that was successful in raising $1500 from members (in addition to the contributions to IV and air mile donations) and instrumental in sending 5 members fully funded to DC + 2 green card holders + 2 members buying their own tickets. The chapter is coming together in these circumstances and you are clueless....... of what is happening within your own state - Joining the chapter neither costs money nor effort, just the benefit of knowing what is happening within your state!
I however want to contribute not *donate* if I know what am I going after.
Contribute or Donate - if it is money - it is one and the same practically. I am not sure what you are going after, but I can tell you what IV is going after - clearing the EB backlogs.
For any advise the standard answer we get is - Consult your immigration lawyer.
We actually provide 4 reputed lawyers (Ari Sauer and Greg Siskind of VisaLaw.com, Raj Iyer of Offices of Carl Shusterman, and Prashanthi Reddy of Reddyesq) with whom you can get your questions answered for free 3 Thursdays in a month! Do you know about the conference calls that is done every week with attorneys - check it out in the members forum if you were unaware of it!
I dont want to dampen the interests of others who are ready to contribute. Tell me few reasons and I can contribute a decent amount.
Nobody in this forum or elsewhere said, "Mr/Ms bitzbytz - please donate the money to IV" And certainly no one is forcing you to do it either. There are requests for contributions from many members - because they believe in the cause - and their audience are fellow believers.
May be we should make this paid. and then I will find my reason and I will pay to join
We are happy with people who believe in the cause and want to donate. You are most welcome to use IV for free!

well I would like to add, I do know details of how a Bill gets created, is reviewed, gets to the Floor of the house, Senate and becomes law.
I do know that once a member of either house presents a Bill, it has to be sponsored, supported by others and go to a sub-committee first. sometimes gets added to other bills.
lets assume by luck or other means it somehow makes it to the floor.
Lets get educated first on the process before we start assuming anything - How a bill becomes a law (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/7/7c/How_a_bill_becomes_a_law.pdf). We will then understand how to advocate for the changes we are seeking...

It is so encouraging to read your posts. I am so happy that you are considering a Family Membership to Team IV. You are not only supporting IV's lobbying efforts, but that you support IV's fight against childhood obesity.
We must show our support for important healthcare issues which the US is facing right now. Afterall, we do live in the US ourselves.
Thanks for your support!!

It is surprising (rather shocking) to see how a discussion on an EB bill (which might never see the light of day anyway) has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant on how IV does not represent EB3.
When I meet with my lawmaker's office (and when I again meet in Feb), I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. It is stupid to convert a chronic issue into a "IV is not trying" debate. As always, we have lots of armchair critics and few grass-roots workers.
Yes forever_waiting it is surprising and shocking to see how a discussion on an EB Bill which will never see the light of the day has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant
By using the keyword oft-repeated (i will ignore the word rant because only an immature mind will call the other side of a discussion as rant) it would imply that many EB3 members have raised the same concern in this forum before and i am not the first and believe me when i say this i will not be the last also. So that would mean a whole bunch of people (remember eb3 are 50 k and eb2 are only 12k) have the same concern and they have raised the same concern in this same forum so that would mean IV is aware of the concern.
Now what has IV done about it ??
Meeting a lawmaker with the support of IV behind you is not a reflection of a big effort on your side. The power behind that is IV. Now for me or any other EB3 to meet a law maker is not something i would consider an effort since EB3 are willing to put the same effort which you are putting only if they believei n what they are doing. To believe a person needs to feel that they are working for a cause that will impact their situation. Sadly this is missing and that is why EB3 people are cool about the whole meet the law maker process
Regarding the statement I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. can you tell me what specific steps has IV articulated to resolve the specific issue of EB3
By your own definition this is a chronic issue and what we are taught is that any issue which is chronic needs to be redressed and when it is not it becomes a big issue which cannot be handled
As always, there is the name calling stating that EB3 people are armchair critics and whiners but when you are part of a community and you have issues you will air your greviences in the same community not to some one who has no idea or does not care about it
What is really suprising is that in EB community itself EB2 does not care to listen and provide and open discussion about EB3 issues. Now according to me that is shocking
BTW i commend your effort of meeting the law maker but if you introspect the only reason you are making an effort is because you believe your efforts will bear fruit in the form of a GC soon (I believe you are EB2 with a priority date of Apr 08 and current EB2 dates are May 2006)

Hi folks, just as predicted, my email thread to select contacts resulted in one outright racist response. i dont want this group to get distracted or distressed if you too get such responses. take a look at the original note below and my response. remain brave. remain strong. this is a LEGAL immigration process in the US economic interest too.
hopefully people will begin to realize that anti-legal-immigration is just a facade for deep rooted racism.
Best.
A SELF AVOWED RACIST RESPONSE from A PERSONAL CONTACT
I have to let you know that not only will I not support this bill, but I am vehemently against the legal immigration of workers that are originally brought here to usurp positions that would have otherwise been held by skilled Americans. I agree that this is a racist and exclusionary position, but I also know many people who can no longer get work at the level they deserve due to the displacement they have experienced as a result of this foreign worker influx.
Please remove me from any future posts regarding this or related issues.
MY RESPONSE
i know how the native americans must have felt when the pilgrims landed... oh that darned foreign influx.
i will not dignify your self avowed racism with the erudition of economics, capitalism, innovation, globalization, human rights or the rich history of the united states as a melting pot of cultures ... all of which are underpinning factors that are in the long term US economic interests in high skilled LEGAL immigration. of course, these tend to be conveniently ignored on the altar of superficial sentiment, myopic protectionism and deep-rooted xenophobia.
it would be best that we not be on each others' personal contacts or have any future interaction at all.

I heard the following on the southern california talk radio. They mention that there are some blogs that speculate on how and what the conference will compromise. I am searching for the blogs they mentioned, i will post the link if i find them or if it is relevant to work related immigration.
"The current compromise being negotiated (or idea being floated) is based on a phased induction of the 'amnesty' program. based on certain verifiable checks and balances on the border and employment verification issues that will satisfy the conservatives. They also mention that it will take 3-4 yeas to set up the infrastructure to handle the increased workload. The undocumented workers will be able to apply by 2009 or so" nothing was mentioned about H1 and EB related issues.

I am a strong supporter of IV , its cause and one of the state chapter leaders . And I also believe that IV's goal should be clear and focussed, but this is an issue that eats my heart.
What kind of justice it is, where people are rewarded for breaking laws and those who followed it are made to suffer.
We are here in the US not only for ourselves but also for the better life to our children. If we can't give them that then our living in this country is worthless.
I also think that this issue should be part of IV top agenda among other things. The folks in question are not illegal but our very own in EB category. They are the greatest victim of the system. When I look at my sufferings , it is less compared to what these people are going through. My green card may be delayed but most likely will not be denied. Whereas, their green card is as good as denied.
While I am writting this and putting myself in your shoes, I feel helpless and hopeless. If IVians won't help here then who would?
agree 100% but I cannot see that IV will be able to assist us , so we will have to put our heads together

Something funny seems to be going on with the TSC EAD processing dept. I got my second "Card Production Ordered" email today, saying new card has been ordered on July 29. This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?
That was yesterday. Today I got the similar 2nd email for my wife's EAD renewal (she got her 1st "card production ordered" email July 24). So whatever problem TSC had yesterday, seems to be persisting.

I am with you Sanhari. I will do the same..
I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.
