All that IV wants you to do is contribute atleast $20 bucks, and you dont have to do anything else. Just think of this..the core team might have already spent hundreds of dollars, and VALUABLE QUALITY time talking to people in D.C, organizing meetings etc at the cost of their personal time thay they could have spent with their families and loved ones. You dont have to go that far, just spend 5 minutes to sign up for recurring contributions, and who knows IV might be able to get something that might give you more FREEDOM for you to say good bye to those lousy employers, and live peacefully!
Come on guys, lets contribute generously for our OWN FUTURE!!!

Those of you that are in the fence on whether to support IV or not, see below, our adversaries are not sitting on the fence, they are mobilized and will be in DC the same week as us advocating for the exact opposite of what we want. Please consider this and support IV.
Never ceases to amaze me how well funded and organized our adversaries are. More the reason to make the sacrifice and be there representing EB-immigrants!
Is any sort of relief worth $100 to you? It sure is to me.

50 Talk Radio Hosts to Gather in Washington for National "Town Hall" on Immigration
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) announces April 6 and 7 as the dates for Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011. Fifty talk radio hosts from all across the United States, led by Roger Hedgecock of Radio America Networks, are scheduled to participate in Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011, making it the largest immigration "town hall" of the airwaves to date. This year's event marks the fifth time FAIR has organized and hosted a live radio row devoted to the discussion of immigration policy.
The fifty broadcasters will spend two days interviewing members of Congress, immigration reform experts, and law enforcement personnel. � In addition to the broadcast component, dozens of activists from across the country will be in Washington to meet their elected representatives to urge them to enact immigration reforms that protect and serve the interests of the American people.
Among the key issues to be discussed by participants at Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2011 are:
The need to enact mandatory use of E-Verify by all U.S. employers to protect American workers from losing jobs to illegal aliens.
The refusal of the Obama administration to effectively enforce existing immigration laws.
The mounting costs of illegal immigration at the federal and local level.
Public opposition to all amnesty or legalization proposals for illegal aliens.
The need to reduce overall levels of immigration to the United States.

My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?

Ask your employer keep everything ready backlogs will be cleared by sep 30, hope you get your LC before that and you can apply for 140 & 485 concurrent. I know it is unfair, we can't help but act smart.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

Thanks for offering to help.
Can you explain how does Nasdaq mini or S&P futures differ from stock. My understanding is that technicals are same behind any asset class.
If you could share your charts and explain your strategy, it will be a great help to all of us.
>> ... I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!!
Depends on lot of factors. I have been trading for last 10 years. I don't trade stocks. I trade index futures sp500 and Nasdaq mini. It is short term - couple of hours to maximum couple of days. Day Trading requires good analytical skills for technical charts and lot of discipline to follow enter and exit rules.
Taxes are computed differently for futures trading. You will need this IRS form (6781 Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles) to file your taxes for trading futures.
>> ... STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!!
I agree. They are mostly snake oil. I suggest - do some reading and follow some indicators and come up with Trading Strategy. It is recommended to do paper trading before starting trading with real money.
>> ... if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
Trading, of course, involves risks. I pick funds for my 401(k). So far it has been good. I was up last year 4.2%. Never had any losing year in 401(k).
There are many tools for technical charting. I use Ninja Trader since it allow to me define new indicators using c# (.net) language.
If anyone is interested, I put my daily charts here. Sorry, I can not disclose my indicators and I don't have anything to sell either.
I can share some trading books, if you are interested.
Disclaimer: Information use only and should not be constructed as an offer to buy or sell any securities. Trading is very risky and is not for everyone.

GCPerm, Good answers. I commend you for that.
Otherwise, I sincerely believe even after I get my green card, we should focus on resolving this green card backlog mess and if we can get green card holders and US Citizens to support this cause it woule be better.
Maybe you are not able to relate to what EB3 candidates go through. Yes it is a choice we made to wait in this country. A lot of EB3 people qualify for EB2 based on their qualifications and experience but were put into EB3 due to company's choice or attorney's mistake.
But no person should be made to wait for an answer of whether their application is going to be approved for 8-10 years.
The pre-adjudication in my opinion is a farce as it was more done to get their(USCIS) inventory calculated properly than ensuring the person is clear from all angles. Because, I know of about 5 people who are in EB2 who are sent RFE's now, after their dates have become current. They were supposedly pre-adjudicated as per the IO during the interview at the local office. some of them were fingerprints, some of them just to verify whether the husband and wife are still married etc.
Coming back to my point, there are EB3 applicants now who have a priority date of 2006, 2008 2009 etc. Can we accept a process which asks people to wait for 20 years to get a Yay or Nay for their application is the question. I think it is unacceptable. I believe more green card holders and US Citizens who are deciding to put their roots in USA should help the country to better the legal immigration system first before anything else.
Regarding citizenship as I mentioned before if you think you will not bail out after starting a campaign, then go ahead and lead it.
Let us not criticise any one further and look for very efficient way of presenting this to the right people.We welcome more ideas from other members then we will consilidate them and decide how we go with this.

Enough is enough. I am ready to sign this.
I have 3 real names. All were working for Cognizant. One had 3 years of exp. Cooked up with 4 years of B.Tech and totalled it as 7 years. Came on L1 as PM and applied in EB1. He got GC in less than 1 year. Other 2 had real 7 years exp and got GC's in 8 months. All were working at Client's place and NOT intra company transfers.
I am not selfish. But I am sure this guy with 3 years exp may one day become a boss for any of us.
This misuse will hurt the genuine cases. Shall we we go serious and complaint? I am ready to sign and submit all the proof.
Actually I have heard of another cognizant case. But that was through a friend's friend chain so I am not sure how reliable it was. But seems like cognizant has been following this practice a lot.
Thats true..if they are getting GC by wrongly claiming to be qualified for EB1 then they should not be spared..
Oh..wait..then what about the ppl who cook up their resumes to come here on H1B..who cook up their resumes during Labor process (for GC)..it doesnt matter they end up in EB-2 or EB-3.
I am not saying everybody who got GC cooked up facts..My point is its bigger than just EB-1.
If you want to complain then it should be followed for everyone. Lets have a running thread for that, lets make a complaint with all such ppl we know..
No offense meant to you both.:)

I had submitted my entry visa application form to Travisa ,Houston on May 24th.
I honestly dont know why it took them 5 days to submit it to the consulate. they submitted it on May 28th.
I tried several times to contact the consulate. Everyday I am on hold for atleast 30 -45 min and the phone automatically gets cut.
When I contacted Travisa last week , the lady told me it would take another 5 days.
Today, when I spoke to the agent, she was so rude and told me that if the visa was getting delayed, I should as well cancel my trip. she also indicated that it may take another week for it to process.
I wish somebody talk to these travisa agents at Houston and get things done faster.
One more thing, whenever I call they all they put me on hold for 10 minutes before they even answer.
If these agents had submitted my application on the same day it was received or atleast the next day, perhaps my processing time wouldn't have been delayed so much.
My cousin's friend applied for the visa at Travisa Washington Dc and they submitted the application the same day and he got the visa within 5 days.
I wouldnt be able to take my trip this time as I dont know when I will be getting my visa.

We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.
For the future, we definately need more members. So the add a member campaign is very important.

I may be wrong, but I had different impression. If officer felt that GC can be given in one year they issued 1 year EAD, other wise 2 years EAD. When I got 2 years EAD, I was not happy about it.
But several things go wrong and people might not have got GC despite getting 1 year EAD. I feel that people getting 1 year EAD must have every thing ready, just waiting for their Visa Number.
Dhundhun, You are right..... it was meant to be like that. But, eventually, it's all at the whim of person handling ---OR how else, we can explain: One spouse getting for 2-yr duration n other for 1- yr. This happened to me.... The fact is we can not question their action.

Dear Friend
I know you are very BUSY. But I want your TWO minutes to REGISTER at the Following website as member.
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php
This is very important organization working for your and mine benefit. This is group of people like you and me who are leading fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants who have high skill jobs or have U.S. master or higher degree.
As you might be knowing currently there is backlog for green cards. Unless some rules are modified you and me will not get green card in next five years. Specifically it is much serious condition for people from India, China, Philippines and Several such other countries. As they send lot of highly skilled immigrants and each country have fixed quota for employment based green card.
I know some of you have not yet started working on your green cards. But when you will start, you will realize that it is like doing another master or Ph.D. !!
Above group is formed by people who came here on student or H-1B visa. They are trying to fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants. When you read or listen any thing about immigration you listen only about undocumented or illegal immigrants. No one talks about improving immigration situation for employment based highly skilled immigrants. Those very few from the business group who talks about highly skilled, are only interested in increasing H-1B, so that they can get more educated employees. But if you work on H-1 you will know H-1B has several limitation like inability to change employer, spouse can not work etc. So it is very important to get Green Card as early as you can, if you are on student or H-1b visa.
In current situation even if you are wise and quick enough to decide to act quickly for green card, you can not do any thing except sending papers to USCIS ( INS) and paying their fee and wait endless till you get frustrated and depressed. If you are waiting for your green card you already know it. If you have not you will know it soon. Green card is almost invisible for Highly skilled immigrants from India, China, Philippines and several other countries residents, because of backlogs, country quotas, FBI name check delays, Labor Certification delays and backlogs etc. (Some of these words may be new to you. )
Employment based green card for highly skilled immigrant fall in EB-1, EB-2 and Eb-3 categories. Even if you have PhD and university job , you do not qualify for EB-1.
and that is only open category. For Eb-1 you need tenure track appointment at University with several years of experience, around 20 research papers and several international awards etc. Those who apply for Eb-2 or EB-3 or NIW ( national interest Wavier) should not hope for green card in next five years under current situation
This excellent group of people comprising of many bright people from India, China and many other countries around world, is very active in Washington D.C to change the above situation in our favor. Though it was formed in 2006 only it has around 10,000 members. All of them are fighting for our green card.
I urge you to take look at their website. I am sure you will be impressed by the work they have done in last one year for highly skilled immigrants. They have already established strong political contacts and are using lobbyist to pursuer changes in laws in our favor. This is right time for you to get involved with your future green card process by supporting this organization so that they become successful in their mission.
Before you go through their entire website, I want all of you to register just as a member. So that they can increase the strength of organization. You all might be knowing that In Washington D.C every thing works based on two numbers, votes and economical. That is why when you listen any thing about immigration you always listen about illegal immigrants, because they are in large numbers and are related to several others who are potential voters. Business group also favors them because of economical reasons.
So this organization of Highly skilled immigrants also need your support as member, to show law makers that it represent several thousand highly skilled immigrants.
(we don�t need to be in millions !!) So before you go through their entire website just register as member. It will not take more than a minute.
I also want you to visit this web site regularly, so that you are aware of what is going on in Washington DC in your favor or against, in reference to your future green card or US citizenship. I visit this web site ten times a day. They give minute by minute picture of the show in Washington DC when it is Hot. Also you need to be part of their email, meet the law maker and other activities as per your time convenience.
Let me add they are doing all the LEGAL activity which is fully permitted under US immigration Laws. Still if you have any doubt you can call them to clear your doubt.
Also they need what ever financial support you can do to them. I am also the financial supporter for them. I have contributed few hundred dollars and registered as monthly contributor. I want them to succeed for my, your and future highly skilled immigrants benefit. Remember they are fighting for our green card, which will give us several more rights compare to our current immigration status. It is better to contribute to them rather than paying several thousand dollars to the lawyers. Lawyers just fill forms (you need to check that three times before submitting !!!) and never promise to get you anything. This organization, I am sure with your, mine and other members support will get lot of work done in Washigton D C. So that probably you will not need lawyer for your green card application, and it will become very easy for you to file for Green Card. They had done lot more than what they promised. You can dig in to their website for making your self educated about there fascinating work. Let me add the core team which run this volunteer organization has spent several thousand dollars from their pocket to make this attempt successful, They are that much committed to success and final goals of organization.
I personally urge all my friends like you to register as member for this organization and also contribute financially, if you can, for benefit of your self, me, as well as future green card applicants from highly skilled immigrant community.
Thanks for taking time to read this and registering as �IMMIGRATION VOICE� member.
If you register please email me back with your screen name so that I know you tool action on my request.
After reading this and registering, if you feel, this organization is for you and me, please forward this request to all your friends who are either on student or H-a visa and will need green card in future. They need to be part of this important movement for their future benefit.
THANKS
