AFAIK, the GC job has to be a permanent full-time position and not a part-time position.
So much pain we are facing in this process. Hope all see their GCs come through fast.
My attoreny said GC is for full time position and it is very well supported if the employee is working full time with the sponsoring employer. I can easily imagine getting it filed in 3-4 places working part time or not even working. I guess we can run into problems if working part time. There is also a column somewhere in H1B visa application form where they ask "Did anyone sponsor you an immigrant visa". Not sure if that Question comes anywhere in the forms for GC, but if so, what does one write? A list of other employers.May not be a good idea, but its my personal opinion, and I dont have any observation on this

Well, s/he did say s/he was proud to be an INDIAN-American, didn't s/he? In the order you wanted...
I don't have to tell anyone how I feel about my country-of-origin. Whatever I am, I am due to India.
One can take man of out India, but never India out of man.

you are absolutely correct...when you cannot win fighting fair, fight unfair...and to make matters worse, the next bill to be discussed is the "horse slaughter" bill...we are still not on the horizon...:confused:
First illegals, next horses. I guess legal immigrants are last in the queue.

The ideas to make this forum a paid one is going to be a big disaster. Please excuse me for being blunt about it. Everyone who is suggesting paid membership should remember that most of them are here for information, they will go elsewhere if they have to pay for reading and writiing posts on this forum. Remember the crowd here are internet users who use it for obtaining legal second opinion and also for cheap bargain shopping. They would always find another place to gather and discuss their thoughts and opinions.
I would say Ads are a better way to generate revenue, but I don't know the income reporting requirments. There can't be any secrets about financials if you are taking donations. The audited information can be obtained by any interested party if they are a paid member.
Please don't mistake me for a anti. I am a person who would be interested in seeing the goals of this organisation succed. That is the reason I am pointing out what could go wrong with the paid membership plan.
Good luck to me and all those who are waiting for their GC.
PS: Paid reputation service is welcome as far as the revenue generated is shared by IV and the person who gets a reputation. This would motivate the people to focus and also reap the rewards in cash. Postive reputation would be $1 and negative reputation would be $5. The sharing would be 70% for IV and 30% for the member who received the reputation. The higher fees for negative reputation would help the members from staying out of dissing other members and making this place were people fight with each other.

As mentioned In Logiclifes first post in this forum,
Organizations who have Millions of dollar In budget for pushing and lobbying their Issues failed also for whatever reason ( He did not mention reasons ).
Does that mean that having a fat budget does not Impact the outcome ?
What It proves Is Its really the Politics, election, People's focus on the Issue which matters and NOT the lobbying with big fat budget.
And If its the case then our issue will be taken care of on its own merit when all above factors are in our favour, regardless of lobbying.
Just a thought, I hope I am not upsetting the general trend of praising efforts.
It was thru lobbying (on which contributions were spent) that we got provisions added the the Senate's comprehensive Immigration reform last year. Without lobbying, all that would not have happened. No other group, industry, company or organization was working to remove the hard cap on country quotas in EB immigration. It was exclusively by IV and QGA's efforts.
Under certain circumstances , like the ones that existed last year with Jim Sensenbrenner as the House Judiciary Commitee chair , yes, even 10 million dollars spent in lobbying in one year cannot achieve even the smallest amount of law-change or regulation. No matter how you approach things, you cannot bypass House Judiciary committee regarding immigration provision. And you cannot bypass the chairman of that committee.
However, things have changed significantly this year and that is why every effort done this year will make a difference. Biggest portion of the effort is lobbying and it can work if its given time and done patiently. And yes we do need contributions for that.

Another Iowan from Cedar Falls wrote in support of our review of the H-1B program. He is a computer programmer with a master's degree and over 20 years of work experience in that field. He says: Despite all of my qualifications, in the last four years I have applied to over 3,700 positions and have received no job offers. He believes he is in constant competition with H-1B visa holders.
The unemployment rate is 1.8% which is much lower then unemployable rate. Some persons are unemployable. That is, they will not get a job even if H-1B quota is set to 0.
The ONLY way for such persons to get job is with the legilative fix: every American is entitled to a job!

I highly doubt that the White called Mr. Bradman abou this name check. white house has other things to worry about that then simply getting ones name check cleared. White has nothing to do with name checks. If it did, my mothers case would have been cleard a long time ago. She is stuck for the past 3 years. She is over 60. i contacted the white house last year. Not even a Thanks for writing form them.
So if it is true, then Bradman congrats, but if you are just pulling our leg, then not a good thing.

Chanakya, whatever your arguments may be but calling the current state of EB2-I a "plight" is a little crazy. We are seeing one of the biggest advancements in PD dates for EB2-I. I can understand if an EB3-I feels outraged after reading your post.
I'm EB2 myself but a little empathy would be a good thing... :)

Guys, For better marketing our plight wearing business suits for rallys will have a significant impact on the perception of the rally on both onlookers and the press. It will immediately convey :
The professionalism of the crowd
The difference between previous illegal protestors and legal high skilled protesters
People will notice crowds of business suits and it will leave an imprint on their mind. Especailly in places like bay area they will just stick outOrganizers may want to think about this.
I guess formal or semi-formal wear should be good enough in the heat.

Before this thread takes a turn where supporters and opponents of this idea start another forum war, let me say this clearly:
IV is not going to adopt this as an agenda item. The reason is quite simple: H4s not being able to work is low on priority of problems that need to be fixed in order to mitigate retrogression or other consequences of retrogression.
And frankly, we do not have extra kind of support to add new agenda items on our list.
A whopping 200 people signed up for recurring contributions of $20 per month. Out of 8000 people who registered here and got emails about it. However, almost every week, there is no shortage of new ideas and no shortage of opinions on those new ideas from people.
We get $20 deposits each month from 200 people. But as far as opinions are concerned, we get hundreds of them each week. How nice? I wish we had some machine to convert those opinions into dollars.
If you dont agree:
Now, if someone feels offended by this, and feels that H4 issues are orphan issues, or if this organization does not represent them anymore since IV does not want to adopt H4 related issues on its agenda, and if that someone wants to leave, then please leave without any threats and feel free to start your own organization.
And this thread has all the features and ingredients neccesary to become a forum war. If that happens this thread will be deleted.
I am very dissapointed but very glad you finally said it, wish you did 6 months ago.

I agree with the reasons behind it, now that I know it.
Just so, everyone understand, I am not trying to find fault with IV or its members. I am trying to do, what you can call, soul searching.
We have around 25000 members. Why only 25000, when we know there are millions out there in the same boat. What is stopping them from joining IV and contributing? Of all these 25000 or so members, we only have around 4000 letters sent for Admin fixes.(May be I am wrong about this number, but I believe it is around that range.) What is preventing the others from doing so?
I strongly believe, that the answers to these questions might help IV in the long run, with more members and possibly more active members. Once we get to that point, IV will no longer be an organization, but it will be a MOVEMENT. Chances of success for a movement is always better than that of an organization. That is what I believe we should try to achieve. I hope everyone agress with that.
Thanks

Yes, this is a conversation.
A growth to 25K members from 5K is an amazing five folds over a period of around two years. Having said that, there is tremendous scope for future growth. I will let Waldenpond define that, if need be.
IV's focus is defined by you, our members and the larger macrocosm of high skilled legal immigrant community. We need help and guidance from our members to achieve success with issues like what jnraajan mentions above.
Just to temper that thought. Using democracy as a metaphor, it would be great to have all the citizen participate and vote in elections but as we all know that is not the case. We might not have the million strong membership yet and if we use the pareto rule of 80:20 then I believe that we do have the "critical mass" to facilitate change. Change to the currently broken immigration process for the high skilled legal immigrants to USA. Lets marshall our existing resources and deploy them effectively to achieve success. We need your active participation for that.
IVers PM me if you are interested in volunteering, we can talk over the phone too. Let me know.

Good to know, thanks. Maybe we were reading different threads :) One thing though, because of the heavy rush of citizenship filing in 2007, combined with the election-year pressure of 2008, petitions were fast-tracked in recent years. There are so many confounding factors, anything is possible.
I can attest to this as well, I know couple of close friends one in NJ area and one in Bay Area CA both of whom got naturalized in 3-5 months time frame. This occurred in the last 2 months so this is fresh data. In both cases the N400 app was approved within 3 months of filing..And the interview was a month later after the approval. Again i just know these 2 guys so my data spread is limited. On other hand i dont know anybody in my circle waiting for a long time on N400.

Sen Grassley makes sense to me. It looks like he has thorughly studied the program. If he is really concerned to stop the abuse in H1B program then
a. H1B visa should be decreased
b. EB visas should be doubled
c. Current backlog should be cleared by recapturing visas.
If we are all on the same level playing field, then there will not be a chance of lower wages & the employers will only recruit based on true skills.
In either case, Americans need to be more competitive, rather than just crying that I am replaced by a H1-B. Why would any employer sponsor an H1B visa when he has equally qualified US citizen.
Hope the senator understands both the sides of the same coin, just reforming H1B will not help much. It will result in outsourcing. EB visas should be doubled.
