So are we ready to create a group of 20-30 people who will schedule appts with their lawmakers and discuss overall IV provisions along with support for this specific bill?? Hundreds of such bills are introduced every year in Congress (this specific bill has been introduced several times in the past)..so we need to truly understand whether there is any appetite for lawmakers to vote for it..instead of re-assuring ourselves that this bill will somehow help us.
My lawmaker appt is on Feb 3rd. We need a structured approach with a proper group whose members follow up with each other and keep updates from lawmaker meetings. Not random posts on this thread, once in a while, that "I sent spam mails to all my senators..(mails that they will never read)". Lawmakers receive hundreds of emails everyday.
we need to create a grassroots rapport with lawmakers.
Appepite for lawmakers to vote can only be known when this bill moves forward. This time with Republican in majority I think it has better chances than earlier.
This bill has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary and which will refer it to Immigration subcommittee . I dont know the steps involved after that. However we can contact these committee members (112th congress committee members yet to be selected) and keep this bill in the forefront and not lost with hundreds of ther bills.
I guess we should be ready to make a Team of 10-15 people and keep our efforts directed.

USCIS has to issue EAD within 90 days (and you are within the period) or else it has to issue an interim EAD, especially so that the applicant's job is not jeopardized.

I am surprised, but are you really a member of the "high skilled" community or are you just faking it to be on this forum?
I don't think you should embarrass your self or your profession, though we do not know your identity.
What is the problem with you?. Why you are so angry?. I am really a high skilled than you and think logically. I hold a highest degree from a very good university. It is just my idea and for this there is no necessity to be a high skilled or not. Watch your words and be polite OK?.:mad:
Offcourse, you have only 8 posts in this forum and very much junior to this community.

2 questions
1. Why does Mr.Gotcher say AILA lawsuit will have no impact ? If that is the case , then how come a plain letter will have effect?
2. How to mention about audit cases in the final letter template given by RON? Think this needs to be mentioned some where .....
It seems like AILA does not want to have a friction with DOL and wanted to have smooth relationship. So the chances for the law suit is very minimal and not sure when this going to happen. Even if the letter is not going to work, second step is to write to labor sec. Ron says he had very good success rate with that and most of the cases gor resolved. Thrid step is going to congress man/woman.
I do understand the concern about giving the case number. But with out that they wont take the letters seriously. But its up to the case holders to decide.

Attended 2010 event.
Plan to attend 2011 advocacy event.
This was in 2007, there is no rally in 2011 (just powerful advocacy from grassroots), but every thing in here holds true today too.....
by chanduv23
Subject: A peaceful rally at Washington DC by Highly Skilled Workers
Immigration Voice (ImmigrationVoice.org - Home (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) is a non profit
grassroots advocacy group working to alleviate the issues of Highly
Skilled Foreign Workers who are stuck in the Employment Based Green
Card Process stuck in Bureaucratic Logjams.
Immigration Voice is conducting a peaceful rally in Washington DC on
September 18th, 2007 (Tuesday).
You can/must participate in the rally if
(1) You are in various stages of the Green Card Process
(2) Belong to a retrogressed group
(3) Highly Skilled worker (Physicians, Engineers on H1B visa, J1
Waiver, L1 etc�) and planning to apply/already applied for a Green
Card
(4) If your families are divided by backlogs and retrogression.
Thousands of families are being potentially torn apart due to their
kids �aging out�. These children are victims of something they have no
control over and they are constantly forgotten.
(5) Current students studying in various universities (from other
countries) but will be applying for Green Card soon or later
(6) If you already have a Green Card or a Citizen, you can provide
support and encouragement

A lot of people may be wondering why should we even bother about this.
Some FAQs
(1) What's all this? Immigration Voice? Rally? Why should I care?
A. There is a political angle to issues that we are all facing. The
system was designed long time back and has not been flexible and with
the actual demand more than the capacity it is in a messed up state.
No one has made attempts to fix the mess and vote bank politics are
creating further mess.
(2) Why no one talks about these things?
a. The nature of this issue is very complex. Unless one falls into
this pit, the nature of this issue cannot be understood
b. A lot of people do not want to handle the truth and reality
c. Perception - without looking at the real picture, lot of people
assume things are fine
(3) Why should I take these issues seriously, my lawyer will take care
of these?
a. Immigration lawyers assist and handle the paperwork, this mess is
beyond their control or scope or even the scope of USCIS and related
government agencies
b. Immigration lawyers are your service providers and you are their
client, they will talk only business to you, there is no need for them
to explain to you the mess you are in
(4) After the July visa bulletin fiasco, I did submit my 485 petition,
and I will get an EAD/AP so why must I bother?
a. EAD/AP were designed to be interim benefits (only for few months
until someone can get a Green Card), their usage has limitations and
will lead to further issues
b. Severe retrogression will hit in coming fiscal years. India, China,
Mexico, Philippines, Eb3, and eb2, and ROW eb3 will all be affected,
c. Anti immigration lobby is targeting H1b tech workers, at the same
time a lot of lobbying organizations are working hard to make the
system unworkable for e.g.. Durbin Grassley amendments may appear
anytime
d. Until you get a Green Card in Hand, EAD is not the best viable
alternative for work and AP is definitely not the best travel
document.
(5) Why Immigration Voice? What is the agenda?
a. Immigration Voice is the only grassroots organization working hard
on these issues
b. Immigration Voice's earlier campaigns were a huge success and sent strong signals to government agencies and law makers
So why not start working on helping yourself and helping your fellow
immigrants?
Please spread the message, and take active interest in the event.

1. You stopped worrying because you got your EAD at least.
2. USCIS is not asking to prove relationship with your great grandparents every time you go for H1B extension
3. You don’t need to worry about the VO at POE or consulate and not postponing your India trip for 3-4 years now.
4. Even though you are on project and pay roll is running, paying the tax...don’t lose your sleep over what memo comes next before the next H1B extension.
Our people are not worrying until it strikes them. Till then they will ask all sorts of questions and have attitude of why should I donate. You can see now and then a thread on IV - Help urgent, I-485 denied, H4- denied.
Why its urgent now for them...?
Totally agree with ya.
Unless crises strikes people and they are shatters they do not care.
Just see the old threads of EAD delays. All these people with EADs were sobbing on those threads pleading to IV to help them. Most did not have a donor status or had contributed a dime. They were on the verge of losing their jobs when IV helped them get their EADs on time. Now where are all those hundreds of people. Are they contributing a dime for the lobby day? I bet after 2 years, they will come again to IV and sob about EADs delays and ask IV to help them.

Thanks for the offer, but this is just a preliminary meeting for me to meet some of the people I have worked with over the past year via phone and email. However, since these people have some influence, I also wanted to discuss with them some of the more important issues facing skilled immigrants. I will mention the idea of meeting with more people in the future. I think it is important for them to be more in touch with those who are affected by immigration policies. My sense is that many of them don't understand the issues very well.
Totoro,
Very sure that you can help in making them understand the issues.
We can also write/fax to the officials who can help us if they have a better understanding of our plight. I'm thinking of sending a fax/letter to Sheila Jackson Lee, Janet Napolitano, Senator Richard Durbin, Linda Sanchez and Zoe Lofgren.
Not sure how much this will help but definitely want to go this route.
Please share your opinion. - Thanks.

........... Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
There will be a few lucky ones indeed. Those who get I-485 cleared within 3 - 4 months. But retrogression will kick in ( as applications get approved ) and the PD of 2003,2004 etc will become valuable.

The answer is Yes. Thats how pre-adjudication happens. And when dates become current it gets assigned again to the same or another IO so that the visa number can be assigned to the file.
I am just wondering do they assign it to officer when dates are not current ?

Great initiative and kudos to NolaIndian for making it happen!
I walked 12 miles yesterday. Today i feel the pain when i walk. Anyways, you can count me in for that part. I am not sure if i can commit myself to the SF event... I need some more time to make up my mind.
Hi Jthomas,
Thanks for your support!!
Please PM me your e-mail address or send me an e-mail to us at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that we can get the Team IV Membership form to you.
If you can walk 12 miles, you can certainly walk the San Francisco 5K and raise money for IV at the same time. And you can also attempt a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), we have one in Houston in January 2009.
Team IV needs dedicated fitness walkers/runners like yourself.
Thanks,
NolaIndian

And check out my signature - finding your state chapter and becoming a member is easy. I have had this for over a year now
regarding the state chapters
this is what i found on the page following your link
State: Southern California
Name: Santhi Boppana
IV handle: santb1975
Leaader Name: Pancham
IV handle: prp925
Leader Name: Puneet
IV handle: Paskal
State Group email/URL: SC_Immigration_Voice : Southern California Immigration Voice (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sc_immigration_voice)
At first i thought there was no state chapter for California. Only after searching the page for the word "california" did i find the ones for Southern California and Northern California
which are not states but just different parts of California.
Was i supposed to magically just guess that it is listed this way...or am i a moron who just does not understand this simple thing?

Hi
I just signed up for 20 $ monthly contribution and will be willing to do more contributions and other fax and email campagin when ever asked by IV core team.
Core team we are behind you, continue your great efforts. We are here to support your lead.
Also try to include other Indian leadership organizations such as USINPAC, Physician Associations etc. as they had shown their strength during recent deal. Their support will make our task much easier as they have already crucial political ties in both parties.

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!
