maybe we can do web fax ,. so members can fax these information as well, and the media knows they need this .. can this be done?
I think it may be too late to fax now. It is already 10 Am EDT.
Lets us hope our emails got everyone's attention! The next thing is to get people at DC to actually go to the USCIS building.

Very well written. We need this kind of language material to present to our friends. You got my contribution. How do I donate $20? I don't see tab for that money on page. Minimum for one time contribution I see is $100. Also is there any way that I do not have to use paypal and directly use my cc to pay?
Also not all of us are as good in writing or speaking the same language. I am glad you understand the pains of IV core but unfortunately all of us have not gone through the same things as you have. So we surely need some convincing on part of IV. This post I see is right step. I need some more info to present to my friends, as to why they should contribute. That would be perfect.
So much hoopla for a mere $20!
I do not think that you will even contribute that. You are just looking for excuses not to pay. And don't tell me that your friends can pay 500 or 5000....
They cannot even pay 5 dollars. People who want to contribute, just contribute and not make a big fuss over $20. Go have a lunch today with your $20 instead but for heavens sake do not force people to spend 20 minutes answering you for 20 dollars. Or maybe give it to your lawyer or AILA as you beleve in them.

Oct09 VB is awafully disgusting for my EB3 friends. Call of the day -- try out all possible options to improve your chances (EB2, if after so many years you qualify) and INTENSE lobby efforts for recapture by roping in all friendly employers and congressmen. Running away will not improve the lot.......

I disagree. Changes in laws do not happen overnight and any efforts that core is making cannot be made public all the time. If they can get thousands of people the benefit of moving to EAD etc. then I am sure they are working behind the scenes to get more favorable changes done when the time is right. I have faith in their ability.
Moreover since I am not actively volunteering in any activities the least I can do is contribute. So I call on everyone to contribute for your cause - none of us is doing anyone a favor by contributing. We are DIRECTLY favoring us by making a contribution.
I guess the reason most of the people are not contributing is because they do not see any strategy going forward. I am sure IV core is working hard on the issues but there is lack of clarity as an organization.When the bulletins come out and dates dont move forward significantly, people start with various ideas ranging from flower campaign to eliminating country cap to EB3 - EB2 portability to ....( Most of them die by the middle of the month).If we look at the past, contribution campaigns have been successful ( up to reasonable extent) when there is a favorable bill on the floor and people see some hope. I remember till last year there was a guy ( I think Chandu13 ) who tried to motivate people for contribution by calling them coward, lazy.....Believe me it never worked...
So I think it is time to get serious and have some synergy and that might motivate people to come forward, participate and contribute.
Good Luck.

Ok that is funny. So I have been waiting for 6 years now here and that is nothing. some kid comes in here and struggles to complete his MS and then just works for 3 years and gets in line before me !!
Not trying to sound negative here but it looks like a lot of people here are Masters ( either in EB2 or EB3 ) ?
I guess you do not have the slightest idea of the struggles and financial uncertainty of studying in the U.S. As a matter of fact THIS IS FAIR. Did you know that it cost over $20 K to go to school here just in tuition (with out any assistantship's, which is the norm for over 5 years now with the bad economy first and the lack of funding to graduate schools across the country) and most people who come on student visas gain experience through internships( on OPT's and CPT's) making as little as $10/ hour, not to mention working for minimum wages as they study to make ends meet and then and finally the effort of paying off student loans back home. Not only that a majority of people who come on F1 visas to U.S educational institutions pursue Advance degrees in not so "lucrative" fields in terms of job prospects like core engineering fields, pure sciences and many of them go on to get PhD and become researchers.
That is exactly what the U.S wants; they want the brain drain to resurface to bring about innovation in engineering and sciences. The only folks that come to work directly in the U.S are the IT folks so you are looking at a small spectrum of people. Again this is a long awaited gesture from U.S immigration system to people's trials and tribulations who take the long and winding road to pursue advance degrees in the U.S and eventually get on to work and enhance their professional goals.

When I joined Company X (prior employer) I paid for H1b transfer fee and h1b renewal fee(total $3200 + $3000).
They agreed to sponsor my green card(just to give required paperwork) and they asked me to pay GC cost, So far I have paid $1500 for labor +$1700 advertisement + $1700 for I-140 + $3750 just now to file I-485 for me and for my spouse as dates were current to my lawyer . I have labor and I-140 approved from Company X.
I was compromising my personal life by staying away from my family and company X didn't find any client near to my home. I decided to stay at home hoping Company X will find some client near to my home. I was on a bench(no salary for a month).When I asked for a "employment letter "to file I-485 Comapny X said they can't give because they are
not paying me , I said I will resign and then you give me "future employement letter". I resiged Company X( i found company Y near to my home), in 10 days they cancelled my H1b visa without informing me, gladly I found Company Y and H1b transfer took place before they could cancel my H1b. Company X is reluctant even today to give future emplyement
letter.They are ready to do corp-to-corp, for that I have to pay them H1b tranfer cost of $3200(as my prior h1b got cancelled by company X) . I don't beleive its worth going back to them , but at the same time never wanted to lose $8650 green card cost. To join Company Y again I paid h1b transfer fee and , company Y expects me to pay Green card cost again. I am on 7th year extension. New H1b is valid till 2010(3 yr extension on I-140 approval from company X).
Shall I start green card again with company Y ?
Company X doesn't respond to emails/calls. There should some law to protect us from such employers. BTW Employer X was an american employer and wants to follow book-rules.Example .. informing USCIS to windraw H1b petition.

My 2 paisa ( though it has no value anymore anywhere)
First and foremost we have to realize that we are fee paying customers to USCIS. We have a right to demand better customer service. The reports and other kind of data they are releasing currently is an insult to the high skilled immigrant community. It is time we call out that the king (USCIS) has no clothes. They have been feeding us garbage disguised as reports and offical data. Anybody with a high school degree would say that the reports and data provided have zero value since they are not complete.
How do we get the right kind of information from USCIS?
Here are the steps
a) Send letters to the Dept chief asking for the data we need and wait for 3-4 weeks for a response. ( Data we should ask for, apps pending with PD's and EB category for every month starting from 1998)
b) Send another letter to the President and copy USCIS chief on that. Wait for another 3-4 weeks
c) If we do not get any satisfactory information after the previous 2 steps and 2 months of waiting, we should do a relay protest in DC and in front of all the USCIS centers until they provide us with the exact data.
By doing this we woould have put enough spotlight on USCIS and also our problmes would have got enough coverage in the media. From here we can try and work with the various agencies to push for our other agendas. Now we will have a clearer picture of what the situation is and ask for the right things. At the same time the agencies will have the better information with them to look in to our issues.
Comments are welcome.

I thought "Staying the course" was not an option anymore.. that's from the Iraq study group, democrats, and the president himself. Motto now "We need to change our tactics". :)
Seriously I think we need to do the same and pursue the non-controversial goals first and then attempt the Home Run.
If Microsoft with all the money and power can't get visa increase, it's naive to assume that we can do that in one shot. Let's just fry the small fish first.
I forgot to say that I am going full speed ahead and staying the course.

Guys until CIR passes soft country limits Remain right? ALso a lot of us who have applied on Eb3 DO have Masters in the US, it's just that our lawyers played it safe and applied in EB3.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Say the SKIL bill goes thru quicker and much b4 the CIR. Then it is beneficial to all of us right? The Eb1s, Eb2s and Eb3's with a US advanced degrees are exempt from the cap and the eb1 overflow will still go to eb2 and eb2 overflow will go to eb3. That way everyone benefits to some degree.
Please please correct me if i am wrong
The CIR has been scheduled for debate starting May 15th (unconfirmed report made available to us). The SKIL bill has not been scheduled.
As far as passing the SKIL bill goes, it is in the same boat as the TALENT and PACE. They still need to be scheduled in spite of the PACE bill having 60 co-sponsors. Remember that the McCain Kennedy bill and Cornyn Kyl bill were proposed almost a year before they got considered.
So just want to temper everyone's expectations here. I don't think the SKIL bill will pass before the CIR. If the CIR fails, only then will the SKIL/PACE/TALENT bills gather some momentum.
Hope this helps
