Everyone please three cheers for these girls.
Kanika: She was working with her one year old or may be less than a year kid in one hand. By the way her kid was helping her to to hold the phone and her another hand was holding the apointment document and pen.
Niloufer: She came to IV situation room for the first time. Her daughter was with her husband. We were running short of people and had lot of things to do. I was the one who did not even ask whether she is ok to do some work on that day. Sorry for that Niloufer but you are wonderful person.
Meenal: After working for three whole days, she was without even thinking about herself kept looking for my laptop. My company would have fired me if they would have found that I have some company data in the laptop which is lost. But fortunately I found my laptop. You were on the top of it and were very determined to find my laptop. Thanks for all your help
Sumita: Oh man, she speaks a lot. But let me tell you one thing. Without her help we would not have the successfull "Meet the Lawmaker day". We had 100+ meetings arranged on Monday. She made sure that our members attend each of these meetings.
Nili: She had a broken ankle but was on her feet from day one. She took care of each of the CA members and made sure that they meet each of the CA lawmakers in DC.
Tamsen: I think she have never said "NO" in her life. I think in her dictationary there is the word "NO" is not listed. We kept assigning lot of the task to her and she kept doing it.
Your dedication to IV is the real strength of IV.

there was a rencent drive undertaken by IV which involved getting a list from USCIS (or some other authority) about where the visa #s are being used, right ?
Perhaps something to do with collecting money from the requstor..
Basically, USCIS sent letters to a few folks asking them to pay 5000$ or so to get the list as it involved some programming ?
Where is that ? does anyone know ?
the visa bulletin is just ...what do you say....
Please join hte donor forum , you will be assured frequent updates...and also does it for our cause..thank you..

Please refer to news below
Based on this..
1) USCIS cannot be holding the applications for too long.
2) The receipt number would be faster now and we do not have to worry when huge number of application will go in WHEN they revert their July 2 bulletin.
----------------------------------------------------------
New Direct Filing Instructions for Certain USCIS Forms
Petitioners and applicants are advised that new Direct Filing requirements come into effect July 30, 2007. USCIS says it will not reject cases filed in the prior filing location for 30 days after the new instructions go in to effect, that is, through August 29, 2007. This is true as long as the forms are accompanied by the proper filing fees and otherwise meet the filing requirements.
Note that on and after August 29, 2007, USCIS will reject cases filed in the wrong locations.
Direct filing will be implemented for the following forms: I-129F (Petition for Alien Fianc�(e)); Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document); I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker); I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant); I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status); I-765, Application for Employment Authorization); I-907 (Request for Premium Processing).
USCIS says it will issue revised filing instructions shortly. Meanwhile, in order to help the public determine the proper direct filing location, USCIS has developed a series of filing charts and posted them on its web site at www.uscis.org at the forms information page.
The above affected forms filed with the new direct filing locations prior to July 30, 2007 will NOT be rejected.

The second reason is fund raising. I have a fundraising goal of 5$00 this year ans starting out early will give me a higher probablity of meeting my goal or exceeding it. I am going to be writing letters to my friends/ family to contribute towards IV as early as next week. I will see if I can raise atleast 150 to 200$ by doing that. I am going to organize a summer BBQ and have a cover charge or put a donation box at the BBQ. I will see how much I can raise doing that. My third event will be around November. I was planning on partnering with some friends and baking some pie's, puff pastry's, Cookies, kebobs and selling them at a local farmers maket on a saturday. Hopefully I will raise more than $500 doing all these. This should be a fun filled year for me.
I want to emphasize on this posting by Santb1975. I know that several IV Members have put in a lot of hard work over several weekends for the past several months working on the letter writing campaign. This initiative, Team IV, is slightly different, and is centered around your personal fitness goals, and having fun. The fundraising goals for each Member are so nominal that about 2-3 events should get you to your targets easily. These events do not require more than 2-3 days of planning and execution combined. In the process, you are going to have some fun as well.
All you need to do now, is sign up with Team IV. You can sustain or start your committment to fitness training and sign up for one of the Team IV or local events. The fundraising can start as late as August and you will have plenty of time to wrap it up by January 18, 2009.
I am confident that several Team IV Members will exceed their initial goals of $300 or $500.
This is a year long, fun filled, fitness oriented way to support IV!!

Here are my questions:
1. If some company would like to sponsor a new H1-b visa for me in the next several month, will it subject to this year's h1-b cap?
No, you are not subject to H1 cap.
2. Recently how long does it take to get an H4 application approved (my appliction is processed in Texas Center)?
No idea.
3. It is possible to file a new H1-b application before my H4 approved?
Better consult a lawyer.
Very anxious right now. Any help/information/suggestion will be highly appreciated!![/QUOTE]

I was just getting more information on EB3 India on the net.And found an interesting blog(It makes sense to me and that why i am posting this thread)
Skilled Immigration to USA: Hidden Aspects: Retrogression Math for Dummies - EB3 India Edition (http://skilledimmigrants.blogspot.com/2006/12/retrogression-math-for-dummies-eb3.html)
Its a 2006 blog , but it makes sense even today for EB3 India
Finally that's when you switch on your calculator and start working with the numbers. There are 140,000 visa numbers available under all the employment based categories, with 7% per country limit and 28.6% allocated for EB3 and dependents counted into the numbers, there are only about 115 EB3 primary applicants allowed from India per month. Throw in a few thousand illegals(amnesty) into the mix and now you have the royal screw-up as is happening now. The law allows visa numbers from unused countries to be transferred to the oversubscribed countries but with nearly every category retrogressed this law won't apply for a while.
The future looks toooo dark even to mention.
Jago EB3 Indians Jago
The biggest problem with lot of EB3-Is with older PDs is that they won't switch jobs and port to EB2. they will cite number of reasons for maintaining the status quo i.e their EAD status post July 07.
A handful will march to washington DC and get the senators to know them by their "first names". Others will simply chip in a few hundred bucks and make themselves feel they are the Buffets and the Gates of this world. Still others will simply fume and fret. Some will preach how porting EB3->2 means "gaming" the system.
All very experienced EB workers who think they can get the best of everything at the price of nothing. Who want everything "risk free".
Green cards in the mail and smooth upward progressions in their careers.:D

If you have not helped bring atleast one member to this forum, stop. Make that call right now, help a friend register, explain and make them aware.
This is the homework before the holidays.
Thank you everyone, who has been trying so hard to keep this thread alive, active and on track.
I know we are nearing our self set deadline of Dec 31st to double our membership through the Add ONE Member campaign. The goal (15000 members) is no where in sight. But I am not worried. In fact, I am very much enthusiastic, because we were able to add a considerable number of members in the last week.
But we can do a lot better!!!
A IV update on another members only thread about opportunities in Jan and Feb, made me take time out from my very important work project and send this message out. We need to increase our membership NOW!
And the Add ONE Member campaign is the perfect vehicle.
Let each of us add one member. Also I suggest that one of us take the responsibility to PM online members and remind them to add ONE member (some of us just need a reminder).
Also, Pappu or Logiclife said that they would attach the Add ONE member campaign details in the IV newsletter. I think we should send the newsletter immediately to all current IV members.
Together we can achieve this very attainable goal of 15000 members by Dec 31st.
Thank you.

It sounds like a pre-written text that goes to every inquiry they get.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I dont buy into their FIFO process. May be its applicable in the Non-Audit cases but cases that get audited are just being piled up at someone's desk and that person is most likely dead (does not exist) :mad:
Even in non-aduiting cases there are no FIFO. My case is pending for more than 95 days and people are getting approval in 9 days. Where is FIFO. They must be kidding or does not know the meaning of FIFO.

Dear IV Members,
Just want to share some personal information with you. I was quite skeptical about such events myself, but after attending the previous advocacy event, I learnt that these efforts do really bear fruits. IV is graciuosly taking respinsibility for all the logistics of the event and speaking for you and me, SELFLESSLY, I must add. So, please make the effort to attend and I, for one, can assure you that you will not be disappointed and leave with a satisfaction that there are countless others who are in the same boat as you are and are making an effort to better the situation. And IV is always there to help!
So, please make every effort to attend this event!
Sincerely,
av2004

I will try to explain the process it takes to get qualified for EB1C.
You will need to be outside USA for an year working as an Executive or manager. Come back to USA in that role. So the appropriate visa will be L1A. Most Indian companies require atleast 5-6 years of experience before they look at your resume for a manager. Most of the managers now a days get fired if their targets are not met in couple of quarters. So staying in that position for couple of years it self is a big deal. Now they need to prove the candiate valid for L1A position. Face a visa interview and come here and start working. Even if the same company is sponsering the L1A. Compaines usually wait for an year or two before they file I140. This application wll rot in CIS queue for long enough before they get a decision and GC.
This is the actual process.. If some company works in an apartment in India with one man show and tries to get an L1A, I am not sure if they will get through and get a VISA??? It is quite common that we have more EB1Cs becos, the number of Desi companies have grown. So if you think you are experienced and want to give a shot, try it. These kind of complaints in a longer run will bite us by delaying the applications and building backlogs..
I think it has become a standard process after any visa bulletin. We try to fight on EB2/EB3 or India vs. ROW or AP in India vs. rest of India. This time it happened to be EB1 vs. rest of EB..
The system is already screwed.. Lets not add more delays.. If we want to complain, lets complain about the root cause of the problem.. i.e. CIS wasted visas that caused these backlogs..
Just ask your self a question, if you were given GC tomorrow will you care who comes next or how one comes here??? Atleast I won't. There is a whole department paid to do this job..
Guys who come here on H1Bs and apply? Let us set aside the fraud inherent in L1 visa for another day. The visa recapture is there, but it is also a separate issue which takes a while to accomplish.

Yup true. In my opinion there would be a bill out of conference. I do not know what the shape of the final bill would be but my hunch is they would atleast discuss this and get something out before Nov.
Afterall Guest worker program was one of the highly publized event of Pres Bush's 2004 presidential campaign. Which helped him win the race. In Florida and few other states(and few other blue states).
Congressmen(house and senate) know they are at a greater risk of losing in an election year by not producing a bill than producing one that dissatisfies few conservaties.
Basically talks about election year politics on this bill.
