Well I had called a NY congresswoman when I was stuck in a H1 name check. I found them open and willing to help. She even contacted the FBI.
Well I am just an ordinary person, and the same as everyone here, and not saying I will do everything myself. There are persons who are better skilled at this and know the immigration law better.
Also don't rule out lobbying, I just said we also need something else that should justify our case without a lobby. I'm asking for suggestions or ideas.
I may be new here, If you see my post on the other forum, I'm asking for the creation of an organization with skilled people who will create a new campaign among legal immigrants. Kind of like Grass roots movement.
I saw that. Looks like you are trying to pimp for a lawyer. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet first.
All you have done is made a phone call to a lawmaker office. Before you start a poll go and meet your lawmaker and learn how to talk to lawmakers. That will be a good start.

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!

Wow! it sure varies by a lot..I just spent $190 for the same
It varies depending on the physician. I paid $475 for everything blood work to test immunizations + TB test + Physical exam. This is for one person.
Same physician, my friend went with all medical records and she charged only $250 for doing physical and TB test.
I got the report with in 3 days. Hope this helps. Good luck.

you cannot take one guy's response and generalize.
Majority of EB2 members understand the problems faced by EB3. They are willing to work together. However it must be something better than the status quo.
The strategies and solution presented must benefit vast majority of people rather than one specific group.
I am totally against any effort that undermines one group and favor's other.
Visa recapture is the only permanent solution to our problems.
Would like to thank the one that left me a red with comments "thanks for your words of wisdom, but no thanks. pls stay away from this thread unless u hv something +ve to contribute. "
I suppose your anger towards me is for the fact that I am an EB2 and not for what I am proposing.
What bothers me is giving reds has become quite common to make one shutup rather than engaging in a civil Q&A discussion.
Good luck to y'all +ve contributors

2) Remove the country limit
3) Capture the unused Visa
Thank you, Totoro for leading this effort. My suggestions are same as gc_dream07, but I would like to reword the suggestion
2) Remove the country cap for employment based immigration (the argument we should put forward is that when it comes to employment based immigration the deciding criteria should be individual�s skills now where the individual was born).
3) Capture the unused Visa (Green Cards)

Priority Date :- December 26th, 2001.. you should be camping outside the USCIS Service Center doesn't matter what category you are..
On serious note, you should call your senator's office right away before you waste anymore time..
With the senator's office, I have a very bad experience though.:confused:
I called them once in the past (my date was current then) and they returned the call saying that the administration has certain policies on immigration and there is nothing much they can do at the given point of time.
Hence i refrained from it. Does it really help? They might have already forgotten my name by now.

I never said all this crap. you could be what you are.. There are probably more qualified people who didn't get a chance to get the same f***ng benefits you enjoy.. IV is trying to help them.. It is impossible to show that because of your 100$ bill, you GC is printed 20 sec faster.. If you don't believe in what is going on in IV, take a hike..
Yelling will not make anyone to donate.
If organizations like AILA, IV did not raise questions, who could have the potential to change a revocation memo issued from Washington DC?
Like thousands of applicants who did not donate, I was a beneficiary of July 2007 fiasco.
Whether others believe it or not, I realized that there was something IV did.
Eventually I started the donations.
Though very negligible against others who make $300, $500 frequently, I am not afraid of making them regularly.
It is not for what IV is going to do for me, but for what they have already done.
So, if someone has not realized the benefits, explain them. Yelling equally makes all of us in the same plane.

I believe it was not just IV, but also "public demand" which triggered the monthly contributions thing.
Plus, there are practical benifits: People contribute more over the year if they are paying small amounts monthly (This is the very reason for existence of loans and credit :) )
Plus, it evens out the cash flow for IV and makes it more predictable.
Good job IV.. I have signed up for $ 20.. will up it later (I have serious expenses coming up in the short term :p ) Of course, my pledge to contribute 5 % of my tax returns still stands independent of all this.
Why does IV prefer Recurring contributions..? to one time contributions?

Hi
I have a question regarding an appeal I did a year ago for a rejected LC.
I have an approved LC and I-140 on an entry level position (EB3) with my company. after I got a promotion to a senior position that requires a masters degree but with a smilar job description but more senior and supervisory responsabilities with the same company. after promotion, I filed for a new LC (EB2) but it got rejected because DOL thinks it is the same position as the already approved LC. my company and I wrote a letter as an appeal on Sep 2006 within 30 days from rejection of LC to BALCA explaining that new position requires a masters degree and it is a senior position with more supervisory duties. as of today, almost a year later, we haven't heard anything regarding DOL (BALCA) decision on my appeal. is anybody in the same situation?? what should I do next?? also I read somewhere that DOl might revoke the already approved LC EB3 after I filed a second LC for EB2 with the same employer. can DOL revoke the first LC EB3 after I have an approved I-140?? please help. Thanks

When I did it a few months ago, it took close to 90 days. And, once you submit, you are at their mercy. No information is given, phone calls always end up in 'this mailbox is full crap'.
So, if you need it much faster, I would suggest either calling them prior to submitting and checking if their times have improved or going there in person. I am not sure if that makes a difference.
The 10 day return is supposedly for people who got their passports through Houston. For passports issued in India, it may take up to 90 days.

Alright buddy, The only loan I've is few hundred dollars on my credit card which I pay every month though! Car is paid and no home! Sorry, no money from me to you! You have to find another person! I can buy you a cup of coffee though so that you can relax a bit!
Dude, now again you are taking it personal.:) Just because I replied to your post, you think everything was directed at you. Do you seriously think I have anything against you? That other guy masternyc is mentally retarded, not you.
But I do respect if any non GC holder go and buy a home.
I agree with your point about defaulters. But take your argument elsewhere.
In California, a musician who claimed 100K income/year was asked to stand in front of his home with his musical instrument and photographed. That photograph went into Washington Mutual's file as income proof.
I have heard this argument zillion times. So you are saying the musician should be bailed out, right? Dude, such musicians need to do 10 years of time! Instead, they are just declaring bankruptcy and walking away with a spoiled credit. And you seriously think they won't get loans in future? Sure they will. Loan interest is basically what a consumer bank profits on.
If you think, the housing crisis is because of defaulters, you are partially wrong! Prices went very high and people couldnt buy and that is the reason home prices went down. Since it went down, loans backed up by those very assets lost value. And people defaulted because what they owe was higher than the value of home!
You are really delusional if you think non GC home-owners are to be blamed for this mess!
No, you are partially wrong! Prices didn't come down because people couldn't buy. They crashed because of the huge number of foreclosures. Otherwise, you would have seen them stagnated for a while and then starting climbing down.
Did I ever say non-GC home owners are responsible for this mess? Now, you are drawing your own conclusions and attributing something to me which I never said :D.
All I am saying is folks who are forced to return to their home country should clear off their dues. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. I have seen a friend who wanted to run away leaving his car behind in the mall in 2001. I advised him against it despite he saying I'm not coming back, not coming back. Finally he did the right thing, returned with $0.0 and he did come back in a year. People always come back, especially when they are forced to return against their wishes.Not clearing off your dues is absolutely criminal. And there is huge, huge difference between $20k car and $700-800k house in SF Bay area.
Finally, I think you are also partially right - even today the banks don't have proper checks for mortgages. The rate is down upto to 4.5% and there is not much change in the policy. All that 20% down thing will never happen in anytime in near future! There are just no takers!!
You really need a good tax refund from the government! File your taxes soon!
Another assumption. I always underpay my taxes and give thousands and thousands back to the govt at the year end. California tax board is bankrupt and most likely going to issue promissary notes, if you haven't heard. I don't trust this bankrupt governments.

Here is Ron's reply for the questions/concern
Hi Ron,
Tons of thanks for your time and this letter. Though most of the case are pending with Atlanta, there are few people struck with chicago as well. But the number is very small compared to atlanta. This template sounds very good to me, I will post the same at IV and let you know the feed back. Also I will direct the folks struck in chicago to you, they can hire you if they want you to represent them or I will ask them how do they want to proceed.
If we give the case number and employer name, would there be any impact/side effect ?
I will keep you posted and thanks a lot for your time
===========================
Reply from Ron:
All of the Chicago cases have been transferred to Atlanta. If the Chicago guys want to talk to me, I�m happy to do so. They don�t have to hire me if all they want is information. As for putting names and case numbers, without that information, they won�t take the letter seriously. Also, I think that this will get the DOL to move on those cases. Almost every time I have made a specific complaint, they have responded by resolving the case right away in order to make the whole thing go away. It wouldn�t surprise me to see the same thing here.
