I think Kerry(i think it is actually Kennedy E who introduced it - SA180 , SA 187 did not have anyhting to do with us it was for Women centers) di dnot have any good intentions for us in troducing this.If you see on Thomas(or congress.gov and search for HR2, see the fourth version, and check out amendments), SA180 was amendment to SA143 (this is by our friend Jeff Sessions). So most probably it was part of politics. Also this status says both these amendments wer eintroduced in Senate but thats it, they did not pass.
Yes, you are right, I got confused and removed my post. Yes, the 180 one was the right one.
So, should we call or e-mail sen. Kennedy and ask him to push forward?

I just wanted to say that the rally, all the pre-rally prep, and meeting with lawmakers was such an intense and exhilarating experience! I feel so priviledged to have met some of the core IV people - I felt like a groupie meeting superstars! They are truly inspiring... There were so many other wonderful people I had the chance to meet who now make my wait more meaningful. It was such fun getting to know all of you and sharing the experience. I have wonderful memories of the entire event...

ok now we have 300!
The problem with the EB Community/ IV members is that we think that going and talking with our lawmakers is not going to help. Or, we are under the impression that all politicians generally know everything about us and are just unwilling to do anything about it for political reasons.
The truth is that 90% of lawmakers and their staff have no clue that there are thousands backlogged and stuck in this process for a decade.
It is our job to educate, bring our issues to light and keep pressure on them to bring/cosponsor or vote for a meaningful bill that will allievate our problems.
.
Precisely, members underestimate the importance of meeting lawmakers in a large scale. When we meet members of Senate and congress all over the country, not only can we get a new Bill, but our provisions could also get attached to any other Bills once they morally support us. But it will not happen if you just send chain mail, its all about building human relations with the law maker staff and make them aware of our problems. That is why family based visas and illegals, kids (DREAM) get ahead as they have the human factor apparent.
With law makers its all about human values, empathy, compassion, etc. - like family, kids. You can forget everything about rocket science, recursion, curve fitting - it doesn't mean anything to them in terms of getting their support. It is difficult for a technical person to understand this and their point of view. It would help to get your extended family involved if you have one.
Even today skill based immigration is not even at the forefront of population growth, as their idea about general population is a bit different and has nothing to do with IQ. that is why extra effort is needed from us.
There has to be a continuous relation maintained with the immigration rep of the law maker.

Very true - anyone who goes ahead in the queue is actually easing it up for the latter. This is Never about belittling a fellow sufferer.
If PhDs get a quota relief, will be good for all of us, although i personally will not qualify.
US Bachelors/Masters holders in a STEM field for example, will similarly ease up the system.
Hopefully all others will see it that way.

Hello friends,
My birth certificate has the following information
date of birth, Mothers name, fathers name, place of birth. It does not have my name and i am from India. Is it ok.. or should i get one with name.
My PD is not current but i am getting ready with all the documents, just in case it gets current.
Get affidavits from your parents or relatives who aware of your birth and attach these affidavits along with your original DOB certificate.

Total people that have signed up till now is : 154
We have a lot of ground to cover and only 154 members have shown commitment.
The whole retrogression is very depressing if you were to look at numbers and predictions based on the numbers. This is the reason we need to work harder and contribute our time and money for this effort. If we cannot do it this year, then we can easily forget getting a greencard for the next 2 years and more. There will be no immigration bill next year due to presidential election.
This is all the more reason for us to go all out and get the immigration bill passed this year itself. We need all members to help in this effort. We have a strong membership of around 8500 members we can count on for support. However it is sad that only 154 members have thus far contributed in the past 1 week despite all the effort to raise funds. IV is prepared to go all out and get the work done, the question is ARE YOU?

the letter that Lofgren wrote raises very very valid questions including the overtime work pattern of uscis BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.

xyzgc,
I agree with your message that immigrants should clear their dues before they leave. I'm of the belief that, even if they complete 36 points in Social security when they leave, they should leave honorably without any dues/liabilities. That is the choice we made knowing the repercussions.
Yes, that is the basic message.
Having said that, the way you pursued your argument in the context of non-GC holders having a home is not correct, in my opinion.
I am completely opposed to non-GC holders buying a house. Tell me something - tomorrow I get out of status and can't find a job for 6 months and finally decide to leave, you think I am a fool to use up all my savings to disburse loans??? Its unthinkable. 6 months without a job is not far-fetched, I know several folks who were in the this situation. Without an employer my immigration status would be invalid. EAD/H1-B is not GC. Either you are a gc holder or you aren't.
Buying house is optional, paying off the mortgage is NOT.
I would buy if my family had dual incomes, we had our permanent resident status, long term plans to live in the US, income to house ratio was right (1:3 or something reasonable not 1:7 as it was/is with most middle class folks in the Bay area) and so on.
http://patrick.net/housing/crash.htm
This is decision one must very carefully make. Its not like buying a car or doing your groceries.
I refrained from writing "you" instead wrote "one" and "I", I don't want to be misunderstood and beaten up on that:)
"Make sure you pay off your mortgages if you do and cover all your liabilities" could have been rephrased as "Immigrants leaving MUST ensure that they pay off their mortgaes" with a strong emphasis on 'must'
Agreed.
In any case, I don't have the same kind of writing skills as Slumdog. It must be evident by now. :)
