Dear All,
This is just to inform you that I have posted (not emailed) letters to the Pres, Speaker, Congressman, Issa (letter of thanks) and Senators on the subject bill
Request all those who believe that this will help our community to write a letter / send a mail (whatever conveniences you)
It is unfortunate that almost all our discussions end up becoming vitriolic, passionate and divisive. Just keep doing what we all can to help get more visas for us and IF POSSIBLE let us try to be united. The logic as I see is - the more number of visas for us, the more we gain. I have no more comments to offer.
I only hope and wish the community the very best!
Thank you...

Letting all this Indian Consulting Firms taking ALMOST all the H-1B visas is very unfair for everyone of us that we are working hard to get a job in the US. In my opinion, they are trying to monopolize all the H-1B so no other company can be able to hire foreign professionals by themself. In this way their only way to get professionals is thru them.
It is very UNFAIR that this consulting companies takes a large number, getting almost everything, of H-1B visas without having a real job for them. This companies will offer this H-1Bs to other companies, making it a big business. Additionally, I believe that indians also pays to this consulting companies for the H-1B.
Even if the congress raise the cap without making changes in the system, it will never be enough. It will just increase the profit of this consulting companies. I only hope that the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process. But realistics and effectives changes are needed.
Good luck for everyone who are in the H-1B lottery and really need it.

Can you give me some reasons why visas are unused and a percentage.
In other words, why would someone go through all the paperwork and then not get the visa?
no idea why visas go waste? The annual limit of 140,000 is use or loose it. Processing delays is main reason visas are wasted every year.....

when i tried to setup a recurring payment I got the following message.
Accounts with limited access may not send money !
I've used my paypal account to make one time payment to IV before but never had any issue. Is this a paypal error/issue?..could i be doing something wrong ? is there any other way to make a payment ?

1. What was mentioned in the job advertisements - was the alternate Bachelors+2 years mentioned
2. How long as it been since the last advertisement
3. Can they file another I-140 concurrently with I-485 using the recently approved labor
4. I agree with abhijitp you can get a RFE too
My suggestion would be to apply in EB3 even though the job advertisement reads masters or Bachelors with 2 years and use the option 3
I request you guys to consult a good attorney immediately and help your selves and also save time.
Please consult an attorney for your good.

I had an infopass appointment today and that was big waste of time and i had to drive 4 hours(2 hrs each way) for this.
They did not offer me any more information than the regular customer service.
She told me that they have received my FP on 7/22 (although I have given mine on 6/19) and it is not unusual that my application is pending. She asked me wait for another 30 days and come back if I dont receive until then.
I asked her if she could send an email or open an SR to the service center, and she said no saying that she will do that only after 30 days have passed beyond 90 day period.
I asked her about the interim EAD and she did not understand what I was talking about. When I provided her about USCIS memo, she said "yeah that is what im saying, we will contact the service center for that 30days after the stipualated 90 days have passed". Basically she did not know what she was talking about.
Im planning to contact the senator next week (this time I want to make sure that 90days have passed before I approach them)
Interestingly she told me that many people are coming to her everyday regarding the same (EAD renewal) and that Service Centers are aware of this (although this does not make any difference to us).
When I asked her if the case was assigned to an "officer", she told me that EADs are not assigned to officers (unlike 485) they are just reviewed and approved.
Hopefully they will approve our eads soon so that I can atleast drive a car.
Details:
EAD eFiled May 23rd
FP on June 19th

Yes and until we know what we are lobbying for, why would we part with money? Here is the about IV page - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16034 - and it talks about two or three things that IV has done in the past. What is giving money to IV going to do for us in the future? Like they say for stocks. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Which bills does IV support? What kind of legislation are they lobbying for? I support the cause of IV because I'm facing all the problems that IV is trying to solve.
Microsoft spent millions to get H1B increase. It did not happen till now. So should they stop investing in lobbying?
Last year there ere 3 bills for us brought by IV lobbying-- Recapture, Country Limits and Exemption of people with Masters in Science.
Just because the bill failed and you or Zen did not get your greencard does not mean IV did not do anything meaningful campaign? You are with IV since 2007, did you do anything for these bill action items last year? How much did you contribute? Did you work on the IV campagn to add cosponsors and get the bill for vote? If I knew, I would have done it.
I came new to IV but I spent time going into old forum threads by searching and came to know about it.
I will blame you for not getting me my green card till now. You are here since 2007 and did not do anything to help me and others get my green card.

Thankyou for your kind words. Please make calling the rep's a priority. Let us not derail this campaign.
Mirage, I disagree with you. Let us focus on reaching out as requested by this campaign activity. This is NOT the time to debate or get distracted.
Each and every call counts. It all adds up. This is a democracy. The more calls that these offices get, we have a better chance that they would take a balanced view towards these bills.
So, please do NOT get distracted or get into long drawn debates. the admins have done a lot of the groundwork, given a script and are asking people to call. Let us not second guess them or try to play 'smart alec'.
Thanks!

Your stats are almost twice that number!
Those are not Labor approvals, those are Green Card approvals.

Miscommunication happens. I completely understand.
FYI, all, I just called Senator Kerry's office and he said what ever is there in Congress.gov is true and it is passed according to him. Go figure.
Just kidding with you ..... Jaane de
We all trust them... What I meant was if IV core said then why we increase our anxiety. I have seen many a times that the office people do not know what is going on. They are like the biased media, and utter only those words that they have been given.
Who voted, where attached... current status is far from there reach
