    What I really wanna know is how Grassley will react to a H1 visa blackout in April 2008.

    If he fails to get his $5k tax hike before April and H1 blackout in the first day as expected, then it just adds fuel to the fire - he will rev up his war-drums again. But if he gets his way and H1 blackout anyway (if not in the first day then soon due to pre-existing demand from 2/3 of the applicants who lost the lottery last year), then he looks like a total a**!!

    Maybe it's in his best interest to not touch H1 before then. I mean this must be why he was rambling about how he could be willing to increase caps if he gets his tax hikes...

    Another intresting update...

    I just checked the USCIS website and found out that the approved H1 which has been reopened has a Last Updated date of 09/30/2007....

    09/30/2007 was a Sunday...why is USCIS working on the case on Sunday ???

    I have the same update on 09/30/2007......

    this is the code that has been amended

    (9)
    (A) The Attorney General shall impose a fee on an employer (excluding any employer that is a primary or secondary education institution, an institution of higher education, as defined in section 1001 (a) of title 20, a nonprofit entity related to or affiliated with any such institution, a nonprofit entity which engages in established curriculum-related clinical training of students registered at any such institution, a nonprofit research organization, or a governmental research organization) filing before [1] a petition under paragraph (1)—
    (i) initially to grant an alien nonimmigrant status described in section 1101 (a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of this title;
    (ii) to extend the stay of an alien having such status (unless the employer previously has obtained an extension for such alien); or
    (iii) to obtain authorization for an alien having such status to change employers.
    (B) The amount of the fee shall be $1,500 for each such petition except that the fee shall be half the amount for each such petition by any employer with not more than 25 full-time equivalent employees who are employed in the United States (determined by including any affiliate or subsidiary of such employer).
    (C) Fees collected under this paragraph shall be deposited in the Treasury in accordance with section 1356 (s) of this title.


    this is the addition:

    in each case that fees is applied per para 9 and 11 (see 9 above) a supplemental fee of $ (8500 in original) 5000 will be applied


    effect: new H1b, renewal - but based on the above only the first renewal for any given employer, if you change employers the clock starts again. total fees $1500 + 5000 = $6500

    and that is a helluva lot of moolah!

    anyone can start a thread, if you need help doing it, you may wish to ask politely and someone will tell you.

    why so? ask yourself. read your own comments. and let us all know how you have helped the process of ending YOUR retrogression.

    i have reviewed every post you ever put on iv. i don't see any deleted post.
    so you may want to think again. hardly anything is deleted around here. otherwise a lot of intemperate stuff that's posted would disappear.


    ultimately it comes to this: if 25,000 members show no interest in contributing in a fund drive (barring the minuscule 500 who did), what's the point in being "friendly". hey- iv is you and me. there is nothing else. no building, assets, stocks. I or aman or pappu or logiclife and every other core member and iv leader are just like you. we have jobs and families to take care of. we are afflicted by immigration retrogression- like you.
    we have put in time, money and effort at great cost to our personal lives. i wish i could "like you" to that one too.

    if "members" are willing to make this their organization their own- if there is to be this sense of involvement and ownership, then we will succeed. if not, if the attitude for the most is going to be "why should i" and "nope i am not contributing" and "how dare you ask" and "i have free speech" and "why doesn't iv do xyz for me" and "why should logiclife use this and that tenor" and "why did abc say def to me" and "i demand respect" and the best "these are my 2c but don't ask me to lift a finger to do this- iv should do this" then forget it. won't happen. because that IV you are imagining doing wonders and making miracles is YOU.

    let me take this opportunity to thank everyone that participated in the fund drive, joined state chapters, met lawmakers, took initiatives to start state groups, ran the funding threads and contributed in any other way.
    you are guys are true assets to iv- in fact you are the true iv. kudos to you!

    Paskal,

    First time I am seeing you angry.:)

    Purplehazea:

    I didnt know you have such doubts about the efforts of IV and its goals.

    Anyways, have you every picked up the phone and called us to ask us what we are doing at that moment? What we did last week, what's our plan next week? You know, there is a phone number listed at several places on the website. That phone never rings. Oh yes, never. So who come you never seek answers where you can get them?

    We have told several times, that we dont have time to keep everyone in loop about everything we do in DC, including every time we meet some staffer or someone. Sorry, that's just how it is.

    Last week, Aman was in DC on Thursday and Friday (Jan 25 and 26) and had meetings with 3 senate staffers who work on Immigration. Then he went to India, then he came back straight to DC monday morning and since yesterday, he has met with 2 more staffers, our lobbyists.
    We are also trying to find out about the schedule A rumor and if its true, to have the recaptured visas go to all categories not just schedule A.

    So there, you have your update? If you want to know more, then call us on the phone.

    And this update is the kind of update we dont usually post on forums. This is mundane advocacy stuff. Find me one organization that gives hour by hour update of what they are doing.

    If you dont trust us, what are you doing here. Why dont you join the "bash IV" party at immigration portal and enjoy criticizing the arrogant IV core and its stupid blind followers. I am sure you will find many enlightened fellows like over at portal who are smart enough not to follow or believe in IV.
    Well said Logiclife.
    Calling us in not the solution. After you call us and get an update, tell us how you can help us and then actually help us.
    Purplehazea, lets see if you now step up and come forward to help us in our efforts instead of ranting about us.
    If you are one of those members that were once part of IV and either got banned or left because you felt we are working against your interests, then you were never part of this community and effort. This is a genuine effort and a lot of people's careers and personal lives are affected due to the greencard problem and we are genuinely trying to fix it. If you are trying to spread a negative message urging people not to contribute and posting negative remarks, then you either are not affected by retrogression (and so you dont belong here) or you are so naive that you are hurting your own interests by posting negative remarks on other forums.
    Lets also see how many members are willing to come forward to actively work for IV and also contrbute for the cause.
    lets also see how many H4s come forward to volunteer their time for this effort. We are on H1s and find it hard to manage our jobs and IV work. H4s can be a great asset in our volunteer efforts on various fronts.
    lets see if there are any H4s who can commit to meeting each and every lawmaker in their state. Lets also see if there is any H4 in DC area who can commit to spend some hours daily meeting staffers in various DC offices and doing the running around work that some core members do by travelling to DC on their own money and use up their entire vacation time.

    If you do any of the above, then come back and tell us what to do and what not to do. Give us all your ideas and suggestions and ask us to execute them for you. Then tell us that we are arrogant etc etc. Then tell us that you can do better than us and lead all of us. We are very open to this.

    Your attoney should be able to defend your case based on you salary more than PW.

    The GC process is for future employement, your bosses ability to pay exists since he has paid you more salary than PW.

    Your employer may be making loss every year, but he is paying you more than PW. Now your salary in itself is an expense for employer, so the fact that he is paying you may be making his financials look a little weak in term of profit loss.


    Look at other threads on RFE issues, and talk to your lawyer.
    I think you are fine.

    When it comes to "employment of beneficiary" in proving ability to pay, the employer should prove that he had paid the proffered wage from the time PD is established continuing until the beneficiary obtains permanent residence.

    It doesn�t matter if he�s getting paid the proffered wage now. The employer should prove the same from the time PD is established.

    IV is about you and me and IV will become what we want it to be.

    Folks,

    I know many of you may have already thought about this at some point. I'll lay out my views on the donations...IV can object/correct.

    I'm following the donations thread along with many of you and there is not much to be excited there.2000$ in 2 weeks....for all the Agenda that pappu has posted. I understand that everyone(including me)...will have limited resources at our disposal every month...may it be mortgage/daycare/medical/school or those unexpected repairs...so the bottom line is there is not much room to increase our monthly contributions or...holiday contributions.

    I was thinking...we are 25000 'real' people...and there are more than one visit by each person to this site.

    1. Can IV use any space to advertise...so that IV can get some AD Money?

    2. Is it possible to get some space on popular pro-immigrant or immigrant driven websites...to donate to our cause?

    3. Would it be possible to split the donation denominations further down...like 5 dollars..or even low..so that all immigrants...including people who got the GC's/Citizenship can contribute with out looking deeper into their pockets.

    4. Optional....ebay/paypal donation to the peoples questions/answers...Mind you it is totally optional...if you want to donate 5/10/20/100...or how important the question is and hw satisfied the person is with the information...etc

    5. DOnation boxes at Immigrant owned grocery stores...with out compromising their principles

    Folks, I have layed them out with good intentions...and have also given a thought of what I personally can do for each point above...I'm not expecting the vultures to prey...on the post with mundane comments.

    Regards.

    It looks like, in many cases, employees are ready to put up with the crap due to some reason or the other but come to IV and complain because they want to vent out their frustration and organizations like IV is the sweet old mom who will hug anyone who needs support and they feel the comfort and warmth under IVs arms.
    Where else can they go? Not AILA offcourse, not Compete America, not ALIPAC , nor their lawyers, cannot discuss with friends or coworkers - everyone is looking out for themselves and will not bother about other's issues (unfortunately thats how people are)

    So many people come here to see if they find some solace - if IV starts a new initiative to help thewse people out - will they come out of their shadows and utilize the services?

    So is this how you brainstorm ideas at work?

    Ideas are just as important as contributions.Your design team at work dont have to write the code as well. If its a bad idea then shoot it down,lets not ask everyone who comes up with an idea to implement it as well. Providing ideas is much better than sitting out there in blissful ignorance not knowing anything about retrogression or IV.

    You may wanna read "Six thinking hats" by Edward de bono.He talks about having critical thinking hat(black hat) during brainstorming.Lets have some people with black hats here.

    btw I thought anand26 was banned from this forum. I am not too far away from being banned as well. I got a post deleted by the admin already without any notice.

    Forgive me for wearing the black hat in recent times and yes I have signed up for recurring contributions.


    Oh wait. I get it now. We're probably mistaken in thinking anand26's idea is to improve IV; looks like the idea is to promote "yelling at people" as a way of life.

    The plan is to do nothing oneself but make a random to-do list for other people; so we should also respond in the same spirit.

    Here are some things you should do, anand26; now do it quickly and report back to this forum by tomorrw:
    Eat more broccoli.
    Raise money for IV.
    Do not use "zapata" in a sentence ever again


    See. Anyone can do this. Pretty easy. Thanks Anand26 for sharing this idea.

    As of now there are more than 8000 views for this thread. If we just take that each of us might have visited this thread 50 times.. .That would still take us to 180 odd unique visitors...

    and if you look the survey..JUST 90 Calls so far.. Why there is a disconnect here/??? because we postpone and don't do our part...

    If efforts fails, it is only ourselves to blame.. Platform is set and try to atleast help by sparing 10 mins of your day... Take this matter to your heart and

    JUST DO IT>>>>
    You are the perfect example of what IV looks for in its new members. Enthusiastic, Energetic, Encouraging and Endeavoring.
    Keep up the good work.
    Folks, there is no great feeling than when you feel you are making the difference. Call, Donate, Rally others and feel the rush.

    Yes We Can? Sure We Can.
    Yes We Will? Sure We Will.
    But All Is Nil, Unless We Do The Thing.

    Thank You.

    Hello IVians,
    As we all await our GCs, I thot we can explore some investment vehicles.

    Does anyone here have experience with commodity trading?
    Can we trade in commodities on H1 or L1 status?
    Is it too risky like forex trading?
    Who are the online brokers offer commodity trading?
    Is there a minimum account balance / trade required every month or so?

    Pls share your experience. Thanks!

    Why / How is this relevant in an immigration forum?

    :)I have used AIG for my in-laws visit and didn't had to use it. Why can't we add them to our insurance as dependants? Did anyone tried this?
    You cannot add parents to your insurannce specially if it is provided through your employer - the group insurance covers only nuclear family.

    Using any India based insurance is extremely risky - I know a family that went through hell and finally paid $18000 to get urgent care for their mother when she developed some tremors - this was the first time she ever got those and the India guys said it is pre-existing and denied - later the doc in India found out it was a allergic response to the pollen in Vermont. How could that be pre existing ?

    The other problem is with insurance recognition - most urgent care facilities do not recognize the India insurance or at the very least treat it with extreme skepticism - best is to use US insurance in case there are questions atleast you have a local 800 number for the hospital to call.

    These are your parents and this is the US health care system - spend a few hundred more and be safe.

    LOL .. Shows how much you are in touch with reality yourself. A website visited by misers and doubting thomases does not a good business proposition make.

    I believe IV can charge up to $10,000 a day for advertising on the website. That would be $300,000/month or $3.6 million a year. Even $3000/day would result in over $1 million. That should not be very difficult to do.

    ......
    A challenge by H1B employers may be required ....


    That is correct. Since H1-B petition is filed by employer, it can only be legally challenged by the employer only. Employee is beneficiary and therefore has very limited legal rights to challenge even if petition is denied.

    Now, consider this hypothetical example, on practical note, if an employer files a legal suit, the employer must be able to defend his H1-B obligations for all its employees. That includes paying H1-B wages on "bench", H1-B worker working on sites specified by LCA, reporting to USCIS when H1-B worker resigns or is fired. This could be problematic for many small-time job-shops (aka body-shoppers).

    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.
