I just signed up for $20/month recurring deposit.
Thanks to the core members and volunteers for working hard on this immigration issue. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and hope it's not a never ending tunnel :)
I have asked a few of my friends to contribute, but as somebody else has mentioned, it's extremely hard to convince people to contribute. We can't force them :D
Go Immigration Voice !!! Let our collective voices be heard loud and clear ;)
Thanks hopeful08 and rpatel. Need 886 members

House GOP threatens to �blue-slip� bill (The Hill)
By Jonathan Allen
Lawmakers are shrouding themselves in a thin slip of blue paper as deep divisions on immigration policy are again being laid bare.
House Republicans have threatened to deliver a �blue slip� rejection of the Senate immigration bill, and Senate Democrats are blocking efforts to circumvent that maneuver.
The result is a procedural paralysis that has prevented the two chambers from even naming conference negotiators, a clear sign of the difficulties facing proponents of an immigration overhaul.
The Senate-written immigration bill contains tax provisions, violating the Constitution�s requirement that all revenue measures originate in the House. Any House member could object to the Senate bill on that basis, forcing debate and a vote on whether to reject the measure outright.
Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) is considered the most likely to raise such an objection, but any number of House conservatives would be happy to kill the Senate bill. To avoid that fate, Senate Republican leaders want to bring up a separate House-passed tax bill, gut it and replace its provisions with the Senate immigration bill. But Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has objected to that maneuver.
Reid said he is concerned that using a House-passed tax vehicle could invite the introduction of unrelated tax cuts into House-Senate conference negotiations. If President Bush wants progress on the bill, he should tell House Republicans, �Don�t raise the blue-slip issue,� Reid said.
But Republicans say the problem is Reid, not the blue slip.
�Unfortunately, the minority leader over there, Harry Reid, continues to stand in the way,� House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said yesterday. �I think he ought to quit playing politics.�
As lawmakers engaged a new round of finger-pointing yesterday, one thing remained clear: The immigration bill is stuck.
Conservative Republicans are dead-set against the Senate bill, which would beef up border security, establish a temporary-worker program and allow many of the 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the country now to become citizens eventually.
The House version focuses solely on border security, and many House Republicans say the Senate bill would grant amnesty to millions of immigrants who broke the law to get here.
But proponents of the Senate bill say the blue-slip threat is merely a distraction, one of a number of tools the bill�s critics could use to thwart its progress if they chose to do so. If the will exists to strike a deal, they say, procedural roadblocks will not be a problem.
�Some technical blue slip is not going to stop any resolution that we come to,� Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a chief proponent of the Senate bill, said yesterday. �Let�s not get caught up in the minutiae and the weeds.�
McCain was among the leaders of a bipartisan core of senators who struck a deal on the immigration bill and then shepherded it through the Senate last month. Sixty-two senators, most of them Democrats, voted for the final bill.
The legislation drew harsh criticism from Senate conservatives, many of whom voted against it. Even if Reid were to allow GOP leaders to move forward, there is no guarantee that Republican senators would not use procedural weapons to stop action.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) tried to kill the bill on its first trip through the Senate.
Sessions sent a �Dear Colleague� letter yesterday in which he urged colleagues to study the details of the immigration bill, particularly the number of legal immigrants it would allow into the country in future years.
�It remains deeply flawed,� he wrote.
Republicans hinted yesterday that they have other options for getting around the blue-slip problem.
�There�s always a Plan B,� said Eric Ueland, chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).
In 2000, House and Senate leaders circumvented a similar problem by appointing �shadow� conferees to a bankruptcy bill and attaching their work product to the conference report on a separate bill, according to Walter J. Oleszek�s Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process.
But alternatives and timelines were in short supply yesterday.
�Things can break loose at any time,� Ueland said.

Hi Folks,
My PD got current at today's Visa Bulletin. Presently I live in SF City, California but we are in the process of move from California to Texas. We will be finally move to TX during Sept-2007. My questions are:
1. Can we move from CA to TX after I-485/EAD/AP is filed from California?
Since you are moving before six months of your filing of 485, your parallegal said the right thing. Its possible but its risky. The way it works is if there is no RFE on your case in the 180 days following your filing, you can then invoke AC21 to support your move. It doesnt matter at that point of time that you moved earlier. Now, if a RFE is raised and your company is ready to handle it - you should be good to go. Past experiences on the forum have been that in the first 180 days, it is very rare to get a RFE and considering we would be having lots of filing in the next month, the chances are even slimmer.
2. We do have a PO address is Texas now and have an apartment in CA for next 5 months.
Do you recommend to use the Texas PO Box address instead of California Apartment address for USCIS I-485 application such that we can avoid the Change of Address with USCIS later?
My personal opinion is that using a PO box address may not be allowed. But its my opinion. A lawyer would be the best person to advise you on this.
3. What are RISKS of moving from state to state during I-485 process? Did anyone do that in this forum?
Answered in Point 1
Please advise - thanks
Hope this helps.

Hi
I am planing to go for H-1B stampng in Mumbai some time in June/july.
I am confused about what to write in question-31 of DS 156 form.
I came here on student visa in Jan 2001 and currently h-1 approved (not stamped) since March 06.
When I orginally applied for student visa in Oct 2000 I was given probably 221 G. then I reappeared in Dec 2000 and my Student visa were granted.
So on my DS 156 what should I write in question-31 - which ask " Have you ever been refused US visa ? Yes or No?
help from experienced members will solve my confusion.
thanks

I am also struggling to get my GC. It is my 9th year in H1B visa. My intention is, atleast we can reduce the period for waiting to get the citizenship. It can also be considered as a good benefit for our community. Just my thoughts...
Why do I get a feeling you are incapable of digesting the concept of "Law of the land". There are certain rules that govern PR & Citizenship statuses ( of all countries)and only land mark & ground breaking edicts can alter such law’s , and that too very slightly. To put it were tersely "this is a bullshit suggestion" and is really wasting the purpose of this forum. The only reason so many people have responded is that it is "THAT RIDICULOUS"
