Even one year after July 07 bulletin, the State Department is saying that USCIS is not estimating accurately. Where is the question of estimates, they should look at ACTUAL data.
And where is IV management? Yes, people should work with their state chapters.....but now is the time for the core IV group to wake up and take up the fight with the higher ups in the goverment. Show them how the State Department + USCIS is treating immigrants because of their lethargy and laziness.
I think state department has made a mistake by writing that USCIS can not estimate (in the latest bulletin) and we should take full advantage of it. Complain-Complain-Complain, make them look bad, and in this election year they may act on it...........
Please stop taking out the frustrations on IV. It is very easy to do. All you need to do is write a post. But doing some real action is the challenge.
We are all like you and in this together. We try to create action items and guide and try to lobby within our limited time, energy and means. Everything else is dependent on members. If members contribute funds we lobby hard. If members are not even willing to contribute $5, and we can only get less than 5K in more than 2 months, how can we accuse core? If members write letters to administration or USCIS, call lawmakers, meet lawmakers etc that directly helps everyone. Members need to involve their big employers and have them contact administration and local lawmakers. We all need to contact media and raise awareness. We all need to create publicity of this effort so that more people can join it and make it successful. We will help you all the way in this effort. Come and travel to DC with all your state chapter members and meet officials. Try taking part in conference calls, answer emails and calls from all kinds of members and non-members, media outreach and mundane official work of IV yourself during office hours and you will see how difficult it is to manage this for IV team.Take days off from your work spend your own money on travel and hotel and visit offices and talk to lawmakers in DC. We will help you with the meetings. IV core has been doing that and we get such brickbats through such posts.
Just accusing IV, writing posts about ideas or action, and asking IV to wake up will not solve anything. This is a community effort and each IV member is responsible for the failure or success. IV leaders already devote lot of time from their professional and personal life on this effort. Individual members need to step up if they want more and take it upon themselves to get active.

yep..very few care about EB, its all EB2 these days, one of the reasons i am very close to giving up, difficult to convince people these days. I am guessing that most EB3 I's have simply given up or have been bulldozed aside. We know for a fact that there are thousands in a similar situation, but they don't seem/want or care to voice their opinions.
I tend to agree.... nowhere in the past discussions IV seem to have cared about EB3s. It is more frustrating to see this situation sincce Eb3's have been suffering for longer with no hopes what so ever.
And anyone trying to implicate that EB3s are less skilled are plain wrong - we got in EB3 limbo due to large corporations doing things by book (or for plain long term commitment out of workers).
Either way, IV leadership needs to re-iterate and re-emphasize at least once that this is not EB2 fight only but EB fight in general. IV discussions simply have gone EB2 biased only for too long.

People who are going to benefit by this will support this. Others oppose.
I believe you belong to latter.
One thing to remember is this provision helps STEM grads irrespective of their EB-class.
legal speak: right now law does exist. F1 to GC would be illegal. This provision is to make the conversion legal
plain speak: look beyond your own situation. Since you are not going to benefit directly, does not mean you stand against it.
Lastly, everybody's parents don't have so much money like you think. People do get 13% student loans in India to fund their studies.
Changing F1 to GC law to make it legal has as much chance as getting law change to not include dependents. I would rather support the latter then support F1 to GC law change
I do look beyond my own situation and thats why i support current spillover rules and filing 485 without current PD issue even though it does not help me directly in any way what soever and if fact is dterimental to my EB3 case.
Can you say the same ? C
Can you support an argument to give 50 k dv visa to badly retrogressed category irrespective of preference category?
Fact is You are the one who cannot see beyond your own selfish needs and you are accusing me of the same thing you are doing
As far as i know the whole MS F1 visa is a big scam and loophole to enter us and stay here when you are not supposed to and that is the loophole that needs to be closed first instesad of worrying about fruad porting and EB1 fraud. Closing thsi student GC loophole will clear up the whole EB retrogression mess

Please go ahead and do what you have to do; have the strangest notions in your mind about numbers in the rally, we not succeeding etc.. We will prove you wrong in every sense of the word. We will do what we have to do! Amen..

I like srikondoji's idea. Infact I had pitched it to Pappu in a pm couple of weeks ago. Lets create a list of members who wish to sign up for bi-monthly contribution by say Dec 31st and publish that list. The first of the bi-monthly contribution from members of the list is due no later than Jan 31st 2007. I am ok with the $25 bi-monthly figure. Sign me up!

Great job IV Core Team.
I knew your efforts will be great but did not think it will be this big.
I am happy, delighted and overwhelmed.
But I am little bit sad that other developing countries will be loosing their best sons who could contribute so much to their motherland.
Fight is not over till we get our GC.
Core IV team, please prepare to face the next hurdles like AOS/AP/FBI Checks etc.,
Have a peace full night everybody.
Good Night!!
I totally agree. I dont know if I were in their position, if I would take the initiative and interest to aggressively pursue this.
Hats off to the Core team!!

I am waiting for someone from IV core to endorse the idea.
Please contact IV core before you do these kind of campaigns.
I think that the IV core is aware of this campaign. They are not against it, as far as I understand, though obviously, there is no direct endorsement from them either.
I think this is a great idea to get media attention - something different and unique, and media always loves these things. The only thing that can doom it to failure is lack of enough numbers.
If we go and tell a journalist about this campaign, the first question we will be asked is, "how many flowers are you talking about?" and if our answer would 50 or 100, then the story dies right there. 250,000 affected skilled immigrants and only 100 of them are enthu enough to send flowers - well that's no story :rolleyes:.
So the only thing I can say is that at worst, this action will do you no harm and you will be out of 30-40 dollars. But at best, this can give us a media spotlight - and I think it is worth it.

All I want is for you to recognize, that what your argument may lead to, is that the F1 may be altered to be dual-intent, rather than invalidating the F1 to GC path. It is just a matter of perspective. You must be able to see the matter from other points of view
And let's try to avoid bashing other immigrants. Bring up points that help us all, or at least a majority of us. For example, I have an argument that The below INS law is impossible to implement.
USCIS - I-Link Reference (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.f6da51a2342135be7e9d7a10e0dc91a0/?vgnextoid=fa7e539dc4bed010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=fa7e539dc4bed010VgnVCM1000000ecd190a RCRD&CH=act)
NA: ACT 245 - ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS OF NONIMMIGRANT TO THAT OF PERSON ADMITTED FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE
Sec. 245. [8 U.S.C. 1255]
(a) The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States 1/ or the status of any other alien having an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner 1aa/ may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if
(1) the alien makes an application for such adjustment,
(2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed.
It is impossible to carry out #3, because the numbers just aren't there to arrive at a definitive conclusion, that an immigrant visa is available to a person.
What arguments for or against this can you make?
Ok lets say that F1 is changed to a dual intent visa (Which i doubt will ever happen)
But lets say it happens then shouldn't they go to the end of the line
Is that not the same logic used by EB2 against EB3 Porters ?
What ever your logic the fact is currently F1 is NOT and immigrant intent visa and hence there is fraud currently. Now what happens in future is not deterministic but what is happening now is plain to see

My case has some similarities, except marrying an American and divorce, but I was out of status for a long time and I thought there was no hope at all. One of my former clients offered me a job and sponsored my h1 of course. I went home and have my new h1 stamped and came back. I was out of status probably for more than two years. Now, I just got my receipt for July 2 485 application. My PD is April 2006. I'm read people are talking here that when you re-enter on a new h1, your previous out of status "status" will be irrelevant.
My opinion is that you should be fine. Just make sure that you've nailed everything down correctly on your G-325A.

I believe my case is pre-adjudicated.
My lawyer says she has a way to contact TCS but not to NSC.
Is there any way remind NSC about my case becoming current in september 2009?
If your "real" receive date (what you see online as "your case was received on...") is within the published processing dates for your service center, and your case is straight forward, most likely it is preadjudicated. In that case, as their SOP says, they put them in PD order in waiting for the visa. See the SOP below (which is a bit out of date). You are pretty high in PD seniority. you should get a good news soon. Best of luck.

In addition to moral blindness, your visual impairment also seems to extend to the physical realm preventing you from even reading the responses to your post.
And you need to do better than just posting links to ACLU and other left leaning websites if you want to forcibly argue your point. Somebody in this forum was pointing out how the majority here seem to favor illegal immigrants. Let me point out that Apraio was elected democratically in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. Apparently voters in his county have a different point of view about illegal immigrants and have no problems voting him again repeatedly.
Ok. One last shot. You need to get better with your posting skills, don't type up comments inline and then call the other person blind :)
The links which I posted have nothing to do with left or right. Skip the commentary if you so please, read the quotes attributed to the Sheriff.
Like I posted earlier, I am not condoning the illegal acts per se, just how 'law' was being implemented.
We can agree to disagree. We just don't look at things the same way. I am done here. Good luck. Peace !

I think the IO just say anything that comes into their mind because they know nobody's there to hold them accountable during the interview process. Thats why I think one should take an attorney along during the interview process if they think their case maybe little complicated. At least the attorney can step in when it comes to the IOs denying your application improperly. Does anyone think this is a good idea to be on safer side?
yes..totally agree...it might cost around 1000$ but I think ppl shud take attorney..I felt the same after the interview.
I had every damn document for the last 6 years..every paycheck..all 94's..all empl..letters..
I felt it was a clean case..but you never know.
If possible, take attorneys with you

Child beaters need to be taught a good lesson. Because of obvious reasons, you cannot go to the police or immigration.
I am assuming she doesn't know that you can't go to the authorities. So..(this might sound stupid) you can threaten her that you will report her unless she refunds all the money you paid her. This is the best possible punishment I can think of.

Do you know why all arguments against F1 to GC are moot? It's because US does NOT view it as misuse. They are talking about not letting the students go, and stapling GC's to certificates. Do you think there will be any result from fighting that sentiment?
This is another rant idea and it is wasting everyone's time. I request all to pls stop bumping this thread on that count
If it is not misue why does the embassy reject F1 visa if applicant cannot show proper ties to home country
Talk is cheap, anyone can talk anything. What is current position of DV to STEM visa bill?
Stapling GC to certificates now please don't make me laugh ......
There is no such sentiment what so even and i am not fighting but stating my disagreement with the whole idea that MS student add to the economy. While they a burden to US for 2 years and add nothing to the economy during the same 2, years a H1B contributes to the economy in form of taxes (SS, medicare State and Federal Tax)
Can you refute that ?????
Your turn ...........
