dear mr. "audience",
one more "highly skilled" immigrant thinks she/he is "audience".... "audience"!!!! nice
life is going waste in gc backlog but .... "audience", oh and someone forgot to ask, while you are watching this movie titled 'my life is being wasted in gc backlog'.... would you like to get some popcorn and coke with it..... why? because that's what "audience" do..... they enjoy the game and movie when someone else is doing something..... but the "audience" sit on the sidelines and watch
you seem to very much enjoy this movie 'my life is being wasted in gc backlog'? with your kind of star cast it has got to be a grammy winner... thank you mr. "audience" for the wonderful performance.... time for you to speak out your garmmy winner speech, and don't forget to thank all the people on that list.... aila aila aila aila aila aila, and btw, and whom are we forgetting, did you miss out aila
Paskal, You are right - I do not understand. But mostly I cannot understand because as an organisation - you do not explain. Frankly, all I can do is register my disappointment at both your response and your attitude.While I get it that IV is actively involved in doing things over the years aimed at resolving this issue, I might feel that I could respect and maybe even understand these efforts better if IV kept its website up to date and all members who sign in updated on what's happening.
I have often seen threads on this site that have members complaining that IV is not doing anything - to which invariably the response is that one should join the donor forum. On the other hand we get newsletters from admin that ask up to tighten our belts etc. - and get more involved. Well, that cannot happen unless IV provides more updated information on what IV is actually doing, veiled references to behind the scenes activity and years of hard work are not enough to involve all those who have signed up here to become 'more involved'.
As for this discussion going nowhere I could not agree more - you see to have an open discussion or indeed debate - there must be at least 2 willing participants. And since you have already decided that you do not have time for the Qs of a mere non-paying member of this forum, I do not expect any better.
By the way, the way ahead is not to close doors, but to welcome questions and encourge those on this forum with curiosity to be more active. More often than not, I have seen that those who Q on this forum, are mocked, ignored, and treated as if they are wasting CORE's time. Sad for a forum that hopes to involve a wider audience in this issue.
Thanks!!

This link looks to be from the HR. Menendez bill is in the senate. The text of the bill is not available at this time.
http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d111:17:./temp/~bdgY3q::|/bss/|
Have to watch this one carefully. Kennedy (one of the co-sponsors of this bill) had thrown EB immigrants under the bus last year while favoring FB and illegals (in CIR). Need to be see the contents of this bill very carefully. Esp this clause from the AILA report:
"Addressing the decades-long backlogs for certain countries by raising the per-country immigration limits from 7 percent to 10 percent of total admission".
The CIR in 2007 had a similar clause, bumping up the country-limit from 7% to 10%, BUT it had another related clause that stopped rollover of visa's in the last quarter.
That would be disastrous for people from India and China as number of visas issued for the whole year will go DOWN!!
The recapture clause sounds promising , provided there is atleast an even split between EB and FB (of EB coming before FB). If they do it the other way around (like they had done in the last recapture for schedule-A nurses) then EB people will see no benefit of the recapture, and will end up losing one more quick-fix option.
Eagerly waiting for the bill text so the dissection and analysis can begin!!

Bush tried really hard. I believe there is no complaint about Bush when it comes to immigration. He earned that credit.
I have just seen this in CNN, is Bush talking about legal immigration?

"USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No.107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted."
This clearly says applications already filed will also be accepted. So this means anyone who filed between July 2nd and 17th will not be rejected.

I agree with some of the posters above that suing will bring attention of the individual as well as general publicity as people will analyze our arguments carefully.

I would rather have 10,000 members paying $100/year (that's *less than $25/month, btw... :) ), than 25,000 forum browsers... no offense meant.
For those comparing IV with free web-based services like Google/Yahoo/Hotmail/others.... you probably don't grasp the idea behind IV, and this is precisely one of the reasons why a membership-based organization is desirable... :
- IV is no gmail or hotmail
- We don't get advertising revenue,
- Nor have we gone IPO like Google/Microsoft/Yahoo (neither can we... :)
- Nor are we funded by wealthy VCs
- Nor is this a "business model"
- and Nor do Google/Microsoft/Yahoo care about your immigration woes... .
Bottomline - we're not a business, we're a non-profit organization - that needs funds for operations and lobbying efforts. There are normal operational needs that are taken care of by membership dues in most organizations. There are special one-time needs that are taken care of by funding drives.
So let's rise up above this madness...
Once again:
- If you've already contributed, you won't be asked again (fot a year at least... :)
- If you can't pay membership dues, you can volunteer
jazz
Highly skilled immigrants (highly paid professionals too) fretting about 25 USD per month and that too for a cause which directly affects their dignity, their professional career and in the long term their quest for a happy and fulfilling life.
Somebody also used the term 'commercialization' before even reading through IV's agenda which clearly includes the phrase 'Non profit organization'.
Aman Kapoor invested thousands of dollars to fight for this cause in terms of money and time, and yet some people flinch in horror at the thought of contributing 25 dollars per month.
As I have always said and will repeatedly say '10000 active and committed members are better than 25000 fence sitters/free loaders.'

Congrats DESI
US citizenship is a final stop for most/many immigrants. Post Sep 11, there has been a surge in nationalization applications because technically GC is like a long term visa to stay permanently. Therefore there is always a risk of losing GC because of DUI or other trivial or accidental issues etc.
Also post Sep 11, a lot of govt/sensitive projects that were available for GC only have been restricted to US Citizens. You lose a significant chunk of the available jobs market if you are a GC holder in the Maryland/DC/North Virgina area. In fact I know a lot of GC who kept their old passports but because of these hassles eventually decided for Naturalization.
Yes that is the one reason. Moreover i can get the Indian citizenship back by staying in India for 5 years on OCI card or PIO card. It is that simple. But Once i go back to India coming here is big problem. So I planned to take USC and Do an R2I later whenever i need or I want.
This week i became an USC after 9 years of stay in US. I can retain USC and stay in India. Came to US in 2000. Applied GC in 2002 Jan got the green card 2003 December with EB3
funny thing is While starting the Interview officer said " Oh you are a new immigrant" . I said I am here since year 2000. Officer replied you have just completed 5 years on Green card.

Oath of Allegiance
The oath of allegiance is:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
In some cases, USCIS allows the oath to be taken without the clauses:
". . .that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by law. . ."
Question: Once one takes US citizenship s/he promises to renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate or state then how come one confidently say that s/he would still be in love to a home country?

IV will be soon posting some updates on this. We have done some ground work on this issue in the recent past and have got positive response. Stronger support from our members, will definitely help us push this agenda item. IV feels that this issue is going to be a big roadblock for a lot of us now, after people have filed their I485s. It is possible to get a much wider bi-partisan support on this issue by us and we are already pursuing it.
Pls. stay tuned on this issue.

LOL! You are pathetic, aren't you. You judge people, yet know little about them. I am a Stern MBA alumni. And I vouch, it didn't bring me much. Education isn't the end all / know it all, when it comes to getting your job done. Thought and those brain cells count. Respect, and the ability to never undermine those who are in the same boat as you, count even more. But hey, do attempt that "Masters" -- perhaps you shall grow up.
Hey Ryan,
Why didn't your MBA help you much?
No offense, but of all MBA'ites I have spokeN to, only you have said so.
What was your expectation from mba, and what did you end up with??
Thanks

Is it possible? Any one sees any issues with it?
Please advice.

Hi Abhijitp,
I already did a one time contribution of 100$. But they are saying about recurring small contributions.
You didn't get my point. I was saying there is no way any user can donate 10$/ month in recurring way..
Let me know so that i can explain again in detail.
Thanks,
Kris
Thanks for your contribution.
Right, IV is not officially promoting this, and rightly so... every contributing member will then sign up for $10 a month, everyone else will complain about why it is not $5 a month.
What I meant is, if someone wants to contribute $60 over 6 months, they can do it rightaway. Just paypal it to donations at immigrationvoice.org, then remember to do it again after 6 months.
Why wait for IV to lay the red carpet, when you can walk in right now?
If there is the WILL, there is a way. But if you decide to wait for some scheme to sign up thousands of $10 contributors, then the day WILL never come.
This is not targetted to you, but this is for anyone & everyone who has been "considering" contributing for the last seveal weeks/months/years thinking about it everyday over a $2.5 cafe latte.
