fundo...did you land, how did it go?
Hi Maag,
I did not land yet. Planning to give away canada PR. Its too much of risk being on AP/EAD. I have too many things on stake in US like Home, Nice Jobs for me and my wife..don't want to risk all that.
As it is i don't think I will ever settle in Canada, i had applied at a time when my US labor was stuck in backlog for almost 5 years but now things have changed and if i ever have to leave US I think I will go back to my home country; as it is after being here for 8 years I don't have energy to start all over again in some new country.
What have you decided? do you know the procedure to get landing fee back?

Guys,
VISA BULLETIN FOR JUNE 2009 sets back EB2 priority back to 01JAN00.
Some thing needs to be done. The easist will be not counting ebdependents in ebquota. This should be very easy. There is no INA law linking ebquota with ebdependents.
I need IV Core help for this.
I don't think this is as simple as you say. Probably this would not affect young married couple who may have very young children and some may not even have one. This will affect children of those immigrants who are reaching 18 or 21. The law says you can get the dependent GC only if you are under 18 or 21. All of them will be affected. (I was not sure of the age if it was 18 or 21). They will be in limbo.
The best thing would be not to count them in any quota like they do for immediate relatives of citizens.

Hi everyone,
I am flattered and extremely grateful to all of you for thinking about this. However, Immigration Voice has made it a policy to use the funds available for advocacy and in order to do that we have chosen not to reimburse expenses for anyone. We will in future, change this policy and reimburse expenses for travel and stationary if it is affordable to do so without running short on funds for advocacy. There are a lot of people who have spend money from their pocket on this effort. Recently, Gopal, Tamsen, Anand and many other had spent money to organize rally and make the banners for San Jose rally, Jay have traveled to DC multiple times on his expense, Himanshu, Vineet, Pratik, Ashish, Nagaraj, Naren, Alok and other members of the core team have all spent resources from their pocket. And there are a lot of good non-core group members who have kept the faith and have spent from their pocket and writing all their names will fill up many pages of this thread.
If I am unable to get reimbursed then I would not regret at all because I truly believe that every penny was worth the effort and I am lucky that I could do this for myself and this community. This community is not about one person, it’s about all of us and it’s about this broken system. I am nobody as an individual but we are collective a very big community. We need to stand up for ourselves so that few lawmakers will not take pride in beating us down by their false rhetoric on the Senate floor. As you have witnessed lately, these lawmakers think that beating us down is like a low hanging fruit and every time they need to improve their ratings, they could simply do some empty rhetoric. And when we all stand-up for ourselves, together, it will be time for this bigotry to end.
Please do not collect or send funds with the intention of reimbursement for me or any particular core group. Please continue contributing to our organization in whatever capacity you can. Please become more active in the state chapters. In the beginning the response will be slow and sometimes discouraging. But if you are persistent, you will be able to motivate others in your area and raise the level of participation of other members. Please stand up for yourself and not expect lawyers or employers to do “something” for you. For too long a lot of people have taken advantage of this community. Some lawmakers have even taken pride in beating us down, knowing well that we do contribute towards the progress and pay the taxes and do our due share in the society. We all need to realize that it doesn’t end with whatever we have been doing at our jobs, because if we want our issues to be addressed we have to organize and act as community. And there is nothing wrong with organizing a community. We all have witnessed our strength when we all collectively acted as a community responding to the recent visa bulletin fiasco. We won because of the participation of everybody who sent flowers, participated in the rally and participated and helped behind the scenes in these activities.
So please keep this in mind. For the core group, your involvement is as important as your contribution. Participating in phone campaign, fax campaign, flower campaign, street protests, video campaign -- all this is a billion times more important for our success. Contributions are also welcome but your presence on the street and your face on the videos is of paramount importance for coming months. Please follow every single action item both on this site and the ones you get in the newsletters. In order to get newsletter, keep the email address and contact information in your profile (of IV account) up to date.
My wife and I received our green cards in June. But all it doesn’t end with a green card. We will all continue to have same set of problems. This IV generation will be facing same set of problems in the future, regardless of the country of origin. The question is, do we form a new organization from scratch whenever a problem knocks at our door or do we continue to be part of an effort which can take on any challenge for this community. So if you have received your green card or if you are at any stage of the process, in the long term, we should all act as a community to see greater things happen for all of us.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts.
Take care,
Aman Kapoor

There is no wrong doing by DOS by changing the VB, but the timing is wrong. They should have changed it as soon as they released it or else atleast by 25th or 26th to prevent some damage.

some suggestions on the content that we should put on the banners for the San
Some Quotes from famous people which might help in the rally:
There is nothing less to our credit than our neglect of the foreigner and his children, unless it be the arrogance most of us betray when we set out to ''Americanize'' him. Charles Horton Cooley 1864-1929, American Sociologist
We can add some thing personal below the above statement on the pamphlets
Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.
--John F. Kennedy
PS: So Let it be �.
America was and is the immigrant's dream.
Don DeLillo
PS: Do not smash it by the incompetent immigration services
Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from IMMIGRATIONs and revolutionists.
Franklin D. Roosevelt 1882-1945, Thirty-second President of the USA
ps:....
The divide of race has been America�s constant curse. They divide us by the country of origin and allocate the green card where in they have to look what an individual can offer to the country.
If you are an Indian or Chinese or Mexican rot for 11 years before you are accepted by the country as a permanent resident. This is what the Immigration law sounds like now.

My application was received on July 2nd 9:01 AM, if it matters it was signed by R Mickels. Also, there is no LUD change on my I140 application, so I guess LUD changes on I-140 mean nothing.
I have not seen the notices yet so I dont know what the notice dates are.
which center ..am guessing NSC but guys please post the center too

It may not directly harm visa recapture or any other official IV campaigns - at least for now! But don't you think if EB3-I campaign to revert to the old way of handling the overflow succeeds at all their will be an immediate follow up, counter campaign to re-revert the decision by EB2s? I don't see an end to this fight and I don't see any winners in the long term.
Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't run your campaign. You have every right to do so. But please accept this for what it is. It will cause a split in IV members and that can not be avoided.
Yes, you quoted Visa bulletin which says DOS "may" not to adhere to country limits in distributing spill overs .
is there anything that says that distribution further has to be done in a particular way ??
I have not found any . Probably there is none otherwise DOS could not have gotten away with "vertical" and "Horizontal" flip flops.
In that light every comment about EB*->EB? , failing smell tests are speculative at best.
You are yet to respond to my question of why EB3-I and recapture lobbying efforts cannot proceed simultaneously and How EB3-I lobbying undermines recapture effort.

GC Visa's are per country per year, where as H1's are not per country based, we indians used most H1's and stood in queue for GC's of course there is path so we stood, in fact it is one attraction they used to bring over here, to start with, per country GC visa limit is a poor thought.
GC quota should be better tied to H1 quota or raise the limit and god knows when did they put the numbers per country GC, before H1b program or after H1b program.
H1b program allowed hundred's of thousands to come in, in fact which they encouraged i can dare to say and GC visa count is not according to that and they let all these families to stay in limbo or wait forever is not a good sign.
Irony is majority of these folks are purposed to solve or improve all kinds of problems ranging from improving enterprise's response time from months to minutes or minutes to secs and other kinds improvements, who's families and them selves stuck in a decade long "legal immigration" battle of their life.

As for sending flowers to Chertoff or Rice - It is good but let us stick with one person for now (Emilio). Unless you are willing to send to all three :). It will seem like there is more unity amongst us if we send more "number" of flowers.
Alright .. I will send it to Emilio then... Lets stick together in this.. :p

I have mentioned IV to a some Indians. They have no interest. Some of them are not bothered about retrogression. They exepect the GC to fall in their lap while they are sipping tea and eating samosa.
Also, it is hard to trust a mainly Indian set up. The Indian contracting companies have set a very shameless level. I told my friends that IV appears different but it is hard to change your opinion when you see something else 10 times a day.
I apolozie to the sensitive Indians if I this is breaking news. But this is the general feeling and a reason for hate in the blogs: where there is smoke there is fire. It is embarassing.

Does USCIS have the right address on file? If yes, then perhaps you should wait for another week before starting to inquire.
