All these ideas have been debated several times before and there have been too many bills that didnt go anywhere. It's probably wiser to try to push the bills that have already been introduced than to push new ones and waste more time. My experience is the more the number of bills floating around, the more the excuses to not do anything on the active bill but tendency to attach it to a newer bill ad hence buy more time till next election and then next and then next. seen it, been there and tracked it for over 5 years. I undertsand your pain, we all do, I also undertsand the frustration.
I have been active with IV even before you came here (since 2006) so don't question my sincerity. I do agree that my manner was too sarcastic and you seem like an overly sensitive kind of guy and you probably like things sugar coated-here it is-good idea, thought by many, several times before your eureka moment. Fact is- Bills (eventually they will all be merged ino one) are not likely to succeed till 2011, as it's a non-election year and something might happen with bills already there. With the weak economy no party can afford to look immigrant friendly (legal/illegal irrespective) when there is 10% unemployement rate in local population. They already know the difference between illelgal and legal and highly skilled. It suits them to pretend to not undertsand the dfference. Think like them, it's their career and it's all business. Just remember it's usually never personal.
Do know that we are all going through same shit and are on the same team.

I am starting this thread for people to share some nice sweet memories about the rally.
This Part 1 is basically for "WHO MET WHO"
Most of us in these forums - we talked on phones for a long time and discussed a lot of topics - and we met each other in real at the rally.
I was excited - and I want to share some of my experiences.
Please post some experiences on this thread like mine below
I drove from New York with 5 other dedicated IV members ie tnite, tikka, siraviny, ps57002 and a new member Arun
At the Rally I met Niloufer(needhelp) and Vandana, drona and other volunteers at the registration desk and was nice to meet you all.
Then came paskal and gsc999 who stuck a badge on my shirt "chanduv23" and then I met Shivakanth, Vijay Anand and other folks.
After that I met Macaca - lovable guy, some core members like indio0617, ashish, tamsen.
Then I met pappu. As soon as I greeted him he stood up. I thought he was respecting me. I felt honored. But after a while - he was standing up to anyone who greets him. Then I figured out that was his habit - and no respect or whatever :D:D:D
Then met Abhijeet who was carrying his guiter and then jazzbythebay, janilsal and other folks and Jay and Aman and all core team members
Then I met all the Chinese friends in the NY chapter, Jane, Sophia and it was nice knowing them
I did miss out a few names - but overall I loved this experience of meeting you all the folks
chanduv23:
Same here. It was great meeting you all, seeing the faces behind the voices and names. It was an emotional high.
Pappu and me stopped at Union Stn for lunch on the way back after the rally. We were both physically drained and famished. Our jaws dropped when we spotted a desi restaurant there. You all should have seen how we attacked the food !

I personally do NOT think that giving DV numbers to EB will make any difference to EB3, because once EB2 is cleared up there wil be more EB2 people out there to consume visas and there will be no spillover.
Having said that if this bill goes through then it will most certainly give GC to EB2 people even those who have a priority date of 2011 and also to people in India who are planning to come to USA in thee next few years or so and who know enough of US immigration to know that they have to file for GC in EB2 category
I will not even raise the point about providing a part of the 50 k visas specifically to EB3I because lets face it EB2 are the elite and deserve to have priority in visa allocation.
Facts: As of 2007 there are 54,850 application pending in EB3 india category and as of 2007 there are 13,150 application pending in EB2 india category

I don't think it's an end of fight for IV or for that matter for us. Ability to file for I485 is just like getting out from one queue and standing in another big one. Once the folks who are stuck in backlog gets their labor will be in front of this big line as you know the priority date counts. Only advantage for the people filing 485 is an EAD, which I know is a big one. With thousands of people filing I485 in July, I believe EAD itself is going to be retrogressed.
Pls.....
Applicant1 with PD Jan 2007 PERM he files I485 gets EAD 6 months waits for GC
Applicant2 with PD Jan 2004 BEC cannot file for I485 gets his LC DEC 2007
in Sep PD will retrogress say to 2003. Applicant2 will not be able to file. Priority dates will not move again until everyone who has filed for 485 incl. applicant2 have been given a GC.
But u are right..pls everybody who getz a chance to file for 485 pls keep up the fight for those who are in BEC

What is the advantage of claiming trader status on your tax return? I buy / sell shares on different days of the week (example: Buy on Monday, Sell on Friday). Does that make me a day trader?
I am doing this on H1B. I do have approved EAD.
Why do you want Trader status "H1B EAD is good enough ;)"

Please enlighten me - the one who proposed this idea and for those who supported this - Why do you think the concerned authorities or lawmakers would listen to you (us) and agree to making this happen? I believe Green Card gives us all the priviliges of the US citizenship except the voting rights. Besides the voting right, what are the significant differences between the two (Green Card vs. Citizenship) that would make a good case for asking for a faster citizenship program?
Makes sense, like the idea of abolishing the waiting period for GC.... but with all due respect i belive that will never happen esp in a post 911 era where there is a lot of checks. I belive if they put the name check process in a fast track it would be benificial. Suks that we have to wait another 5 years after getting GC to get Citizenship, if anything i would think counting 5 years after 485 is logical.

Guys,
What is IV step towards L1A misuse?
I am hearing that too many people are using up this category.
Hmmm....what a Pity?
Does the Gov know....I am sure not.
Cooked up Resumes, small companies are misusing this kind of Visas...
This is not acceptable. Please contact you local Senators.
Whats the point?
Just because we are not getting our greencard in our category, you want to stop other guys from getting it.
How about USCIS and DOL examine your application closely and find faults. Would you want it?
So how can you ask others to have a different rules than you?

most companies either want to hire contractors or outsource work so your statement "about real jobs for real employers" is not correct. The people working as contractors are infact working on real jobs for real US employers. Not many companies are willing to hire people on H1 on a full time basis because of all the costs associated with the H1 processing not to mention the paper work. They want to contract employees in general and not give full time jobs. If desi bodyshops are punished this way, then all of us will also be punished. and thats exactly what Ron hira wants.
This would actually be a good idea. Then there would be more Visas available. Especially people with US Degrees. Most people with US degrees dont need to work for this fraudulent consulting firms. They are able to find real jobs with real US employers.

gc chahiye.. both polls were excellent.. can you redo them and see if we can get a larger sample size?
I wonder how many of the PD earlier than 2003, I-485 filed and 2004 PD, I-485 filed and 2005 PD, I-485 filed must have gotten gcs in the july fiasco.
yup, will set one up soon, hopefully many of those waiting for GCs have been 'flushed out' of the pipeline in the rush to use visas.
Its nice to do a poll when there is something going on in the immigration area (CIR discussion in senate, a VB screwup etc); thats when traffic to IV is high and we'll get a decent sample size. Hopefully the House will introduce some legislation soon... come on lawmakers, I am waiting with my poll here, do something! :p
