First of all I think logiclife will go in the history of immigration books as the movers that existed in this generation. I am amazed at how motivated the IV core team is and how smoothly they have organized the whole show so far.
I salute you. Hats off to you guys.
I read a lot of newspaper articles after the rally and they always seemed to mention that Indian and Chinese legal aliens protesting backlogs. I think there should be some effort to also include people from other nationalities such as Russians, Englishmen, Philipinos, Chinese and other nationalities. Now I know they are not hit as hard as us but they go thru some serious backlog as well if they are in the EB3 category.
Question is I am thinking how?
Any ideas guys?

I wish all EB3 ROW with priority dates between 10/01/02 and 01/11/02 would go home so I could get my green card. Obviously this post in jest.

Thank you for sharing with me your support for comprehensive immigration reform. I appreciate hearing from you and share your concerns.
While the United States cannot afford to absorb all those who want to settle here, we are a nation of immigrants. My mother came to the United States from Lithuania with her parents when she was two years old, and our family created a new life in Illinois. It is a testament to the greatness of this nation that the son of an immigrant can rise to represent the state of Illinois in the Senate.
At the same time, our nation faces a host of problems as a result of years of inattention to our immigration policies. The Homeland Security Department estimates that about 11 million people in the United States do not have legal status, including those who enter the country illegally and those who overstay a temporary visa. I have worked to reform our immigration system comprehensively and in a way that is tough, realistic, and consistent with our moral values.
While there currently is no comprehensive immigration reform bill in the Senate, I recently joined a number of Senators in releasing a blueprint outlining the basic principles that a reform measure should include. The plan would improve border security by increasing manpower and deploying new technology. It would strengthen enforcement against employers who hire illegal immigrants. Today, undocumented workers are often exploited by employers who hire them. Strengthening the penalties for employers who hire undocumented workers will ensure that both immigrants and citizens who work here are protected by our wage and labor laws.
If we are serious about reform, we need a realistic approach to the millions of undocumented immigrants who already live and work in our country. We need to offer immigrants who work hard and demonstrate a long-term commitment to be law-abiding, contributing members of our society a chance to pay fines and earn their way to permanent legal status over the course of many years.
If we do not give people who are already a part of our communities the chance to earn their way to legal status, we will not solve the problem of illegal immigration. People who are living here illegally will stay in the shadows instead of coming forward to register with the government.
Immigration is good for America, but an employer's first job offer should go to any American who is willing and able to fill the job. I have been concerned about the potential impact of past proposals for temporary guest worker programs on the American workforce. In many industries, the assured availability of large pools of guest workers will give employers an incentive to pass over American job applicants in favor of foreigners willing to work for less pay and fewer benefits. During the immigration debate, I offered a Hire Americans First amendment to require employers to seek American workers for their open positions before they try to bring in guest workers. I have also introduced legislation to combat abuses in the H-1B visa program.
There is no perfect solution to the problems we face as a result of our broken immigration system. Today, our borders are not secure, our workplace enforcement laws need reform, and our immigration policy fosters a shadow economy for millions of immigrants who simply want to demonstrate that they can be hardworking contributors to the greatness of our country.
I will continue to work for a package of reforms that will protect American workers and that will be tough, enforceable, economically sensible, and morally defensible. I will keep your views in mind as the debate continues. Thank you again for contacting me. Please feel free to keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Durbin

If you read my post carefully, I am suggesting this 'in addition' to what's already on IV's agenda. Why can't we work on this item in conjunction to what's already being worked on? I have started preparing a fraud list from a bunch of websites like desicrunch.com. I noticed that almost 90% of firms reported there are fraud firms and it makes me wonder about the efficiency of local authorities. Also I don't see how targeting blood sucking desi firms would feed the anti-immigrant trolls. I would think we Indians would benefit the most since it would increase our credibility in general. Thanks for considering this idea at least. I would like to know other people's thoughts based on my clarification here. This drive might clean up cases freeing up visa numbers for genuine EB cases from India. Why should I be in line with crooks ahead of me? It doesn't make sense whatsoever.
And yes, my contribution to IV so far as been $1000 and involvement in other drives. Your question to me regarding my contribution made me squirm a bit since you might have categorized me with many of IV's freeloaders. That's just like Americans asking me all the time "Are you on an H1-B visa and do you work for a bodyshopper". :)
But I will work on making new contributions as well.
Contribution so far: $1000

I hope you are correct but look at for EB3-I.
There are about 14 pages of EB3-I before 2004. So with assumptions of 2% applicants registered on there will be approximately 30000 to 35000 EB3-I applicants.
(14*50)/(0.02) = 35000
Sure there may still be 2002 files waiting but it is definately not a GREAT number. Here are three logical bullets to conslude that.
- Many people with 2000/1/2 dates have already left USA - Tired: Could not
take the delay:Found good oppertunity back home or elsewhere
- Black labor market played a part to shift a considerable load either to EB2 or
PD date from 1999/2000 and thus many people preferred that path either
stuck in EB2 or have already got their GC
The only thing we can be unsure about stuck in NC with those early PDs.
Having said this, it is ofcourse impossible to predict perfect chain of future flow, I see hope for EB3-I in this year, particularly last quarter at least for the people having 2004-Mid and before PDs.

I agree with you...
State boards are kind of semi internet usgae only (Though not forum...). But those also do not make passive ones come ahead. So real issue is not the type of meet, the first real issue is feeling that you are in trouble..and 2nd is to stand up for fighting against that. And 3rd.. yes through IV we will be able to do this and so become active.

I am not negating anyone's personal decision here but after leaving for 10 yrs in US and still not having a GC makes me wonder why I should go to canada rather I would go to india and live there where we spent our 25 yrs or so and be part of the community etc.
Well every country has its own issues though.

recently they were worked or worked to accomodate people working in US Army to be eligible if one in their family has ITIN.
Then why there are not looking at Legal Immigrants.
My contact in the government says "it was too expensive".

I feel that USCIS Workers/Contractors might be working all through this weekend to Approve as many EAD's as possible. I really wish they work the same way in approving AOS Applications.But Never... Punish the immigrants as much as possible, thats the Motto.

Mark, point taken but I do believe if we can raise some stink then we should. The Law firms need to realise that the country club memebership is coming at the cost of some poor sap stuck in the immigration rut and all he/ she needs is kind words and sound advice. I shall stop my ranting about Fragomen after this post.
On your other point about law firms participating. What makes you think they already do not have a member in the forums. If they read this good then the messeage has been sent across.
If approached in the right way there is a chance that big law firms will be helpful to us. The way to do this is politely, not raising a stink, with a credible number of their clients supporting us. The big law firms could act as a "force multiplier" to use a military term, only a small fraction of the community currently know about us, the big law firms and USCIS are the common connection for EB GC process, and USCIS is not about to email all their customers about us. With the right encouragement law firms might just help.
If they have members reading forums great. However, please do be civil.
I do understand the need to vent and rant sometimes. My personal guide is not to post anything that I do not want to be publicly (or legally) held to. Also a balanced constructive post is useful for all. So I place my full name in my signature.

Thanks for the reply. I talked to IRS and was on the phone with them for 1.5hrs and she said I can apply for her ITIN even though she is not here.
Anybody here got ITIN for spouse even though spouse is not in US?
Thanks.
No. You need a Valid Visa and/or I-94 to apply for ITIN

they are slow but they're good.
It depends on which office of Fragomen you are dealing with or should I say which attorney. One of the attorneys in DC office took 8-9 months to file my labor.

Yes, we need more help from the media. That is why we have the media event - press conference on Tuesday June 8th. We need members to be there to show a good representation of EB-Community. Apart from that we need to send these emails/letters to media and the reps in 1000's everyday, so that we get the attention we deserve. Thank you everybody that is participating and sending emails every day. We can also print out and send letters.

If you have not yet understood the importance of IV, now is the time to ACT.

IV's achievements summarized by Macaca
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=181953&postcount=216
Start participating in your local state chapters. If there is no state chapter, please start one. Please see my weblog for guidance:
http://anilgeneral.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-start-and-maintain-state-chapter.html
Still not convinced that IV has the leadership, look at this picture of Jay in front of the capitol during the IV DC Rally:

IV has its own blog:
http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com
Look around. An IV meet up may be happening in your neighborhood/city.
While most of you were tracking your receipts, FP notices, EADs and APs, IV was working relentlessly to achieve its sole motive: "ERADICATE RETROGRESSION"
The irony of the current state of affairs that it is a long struggle to achieve the motive. We need your support at the grass roots level. "Are you upto it?". As Gatorade says, "IS IT IN YOU?"
"The Time is always right to do the right thing" -MLK,Jr.
I have an EAD, what can go wrong now?
Well, continue to pay $1K per person for EAD/AP every year until you get your GC. You will never have peace of mind that comes with a Permanent Work Permit aka GC.
How do I contact IV?
Contact any of the IV active members and they will direct you. A simple PM is all that you need. Some of the members you can contact are pappu, logiclife, paskal, chandu123, janilsal,needhelp,english_august, franklin.
