On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
You are 'high-skilled' and in this country based on your merit. I urge you to display some anlytical and rational thought process here. If you google for about 30 mins you would know that IRS has strict rules/regulations on how 'for profit organizations' or 'non-profit organizations' are supposed to pay taxes, maintain books etc. In the about us section of IV, it is clearly mentioned "As a 501(c)(4) organization, Immigration Voice is obligated to file tax returns with the IRS and have its accounts audited by a CPA."
Now let me ask you this: are you saying IV should display its audited accounts on the website in clear view so that the opponents of what IV stands for can counteract everything that this org does ? If you do not believe in the systems established in this country like CPA, Audits, IRS etc then you have more serious problems than what you post here.
Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).
Please do not indulge in hyperbole to make your points. Show me a single thread or post which encourages this so-called "you are with us if you donate or against us" ?

That right doesn't come without a responsbility - put your wallet where your mouth is. We have seen enough of these 3-4 post members suggesting "change" in leadership sitting in their cozy armchairs.
I know understand why lawmakers want to club us with illegal aliens - because many of us, inspite of our so-called superior education, are in fact worse off than the illegals when it comes to putting up a united front against numbersUSA. So maybe we need the "cover" and "protection" of the illegals to get our provisions passed. Shame on us !!
As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

It appears that way on the surface, but I think this is subject to country quota also. So until ROW EB3 clears(since EB2 ROW was current) possibly no spill overs. But the biggest problem with this 90K for 5 years is based on some math they did with pending LCs and 140s etc. However did they anticipate dependents numbers correctly which is unknown till 485 stage? What happens if the backlog is 450K + 100K(just an assumption) when dependent numbers are added? You wait 5 years and realize you were not cleared through this system because you were part of that additional 100K . Now you fight your battles in the point system with a country limit of 14K(10% of 140K). So there are about 70K(14K*5) numbers being used up in MBS during those 5 years for a given country, not sure if that is the saving grace for any kinks in the backlog reduction numbers, but you have to figure new people are coming in every year and will compete for these 14K Visa numbers. It will be 38K when Z visa holders become eligible, but that is still a lottery proposition at best. So this could be really bad for few unlucky ones. Even though we have 485 applications in the system, if the numbers do not work out a few people are gonna loose big time.
Best case scenario is that we all get through under the backlog reduction, but future generation from India/China will have to play lottery for GC's.
This year with overflows from ROW category, maybe 40K extra numbers were used for backlog reduction. Adding 10k for each china and India it makes the number 60K. Isnt 90K better than 60k (if we are lucky) under current system?

The original bill had a 10% per country cap. Don't think that has been removed in the new bill.
Sorry the hard country limit of 10% remains..........

Well...I am one of us stuck in EB3. I do qualify for EB2 but my employer choose to file it under EB3. I recently invoked AC21 and moved over to a new employer on my EAD. Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Sorry , but I dont think that it is possible to do that ...
EB3 vs EB2 classifications depend on Job Description ie the description and education, experience requirement given at the labor certification stage.
You can get labor certification which would satisfy EB2 class requirements and apply under EB3 for I140 .... but not the other way around. ...
That means starting from scratch with PERM with a new Labor... loosing PD and back to square one ... obviously not worth it

Guys,
I don't know why you are wasting your time calling uscis. The fact is that USCIS released a statement they would reject all applications. Please don't waste your valuable time and focus of media and your senators. Please don't count on miracles. For now uscis may hold the applications for a few days because of the congressional action by congresswoman Lofgran, but we should keep the momentum and increase the awareness of this important issue.
Contact you senators and the press like others did! Thank You.

Please don't shoot me for these thoughts, but please consider it only for sake of discussion.
Now that CIR is defeated again for nth time, We really need to consider rethinking about our stratergy,
I guess we are about 15K membership and if we include spouse and take a guess every one in five has dependent kid to join (wild gusstimate) we come close 35-40K approximately.
most of us are legal and we should not having any issue in getting Green card with current law only if backlog is cleared and we recapture visa numbers.
to recapture visa numbers we don't need any legislative reform AC-21 does apply,
We need to spend more energy in researching possibility of recapturing 90K visas and we will be done,
I really don't think we have strength and will power to fight legislation change along with illegals for most controversial subject.
we are legals letz use it our advantage.
I did belive in piggy back ride along with illegals, but I don't any more,

good post but The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 9,800(7% of 140k visas) each
I dont think it is 9,800 each. I think it is 9,800 combined - 7% of 140K. To that extent the 21500 number in my earlier post stands revised down to 17,700.

As we do not have any real numbers :) my predictions are based on EB2 numbers from (assuming the data to be a true random sample)
Here are number of EB2-I I485 pending cases by year
2007-100
2006-150
2005-125
2004-200
2003-50 (250 have been approved)
USCIS has approved about 450 EB2-I cases last year. A conservative estimate of approval rate going forward would be 30 cases per month. Based on this the movement..
2003 cases will be approved by Sep '08
2004 cases by Apr '09
2005 cases by Sep '09
2006 cases by Dec '09
Good Luck !!!

I appreciate this update logiclife. This is all I (and I am sure many others) wanted, an update.
If you see any bad word in my post, you can delete it and you have power to delete it.
I felt thay many members asked for update (and I know there is no crtitical update) once in a while from IV core team.
Any post from a IV core member makes this forum alive again and boost member's moral, as It shows that IV is still working.
I posted a -ve post as I knew that you will post something in response to it, and hence proved.
But using words like "barking dogs", God, I was not expecting that.
Ghost, something must be missing in your character but I don't blame you, its bad parenting.
Thanks
ForeverGC, this is not the right way to ask for an update. You are like a spoilt child demanding attention by throwing a tantrum.
I don't understand the point of people constantly asking for updates. Guys, we are a small group of people - 5000 members, only 1000 contributing - a small piece of the battle currently being waged over undocumented workers and border security. What can we, the IV core team, tell you? Every update is pretty much the same - we are trying to talk to Congressmen and put some provisions in the SKILL bill or other bill. What do they tell us? Keep educating Congressmen about your provisions, the same as you did for the Senate, and wait for the opportune moment or legislation.
What is the point of hounding the core team for updates? And your post, ForeverGC, just made me want to resign from the core group as you just picked a fight with several people, one that we now have to step in to moderate. This is just a waste of energy for the people who have to moderate.

According to him, we do. I'm slightly worried but not excessively so. I think we're gonna be ok. I'll call again in about an hour, so check back on here soon for my update.
Thanks BornConfused. Does this mean that we might get our GC approved between now and September 30, 2007 because the visa numbers have been allotted to us?
I will wait for your update. Thanks again.

Flower campaign wasnt started by iv (atleast not by the seniors), it slowly gathered momentum on its own and produced results. After seeing this bulletin I ve lost hope in all this lobbying and stuff. We need publicity and more of it. Fasting for a day if organized by iv could bring more results.
Lets not undermine IV's efforts in promoting the flower campaign. IV may not have started it, but the publicity on IV went a long way in making the campaign a big success.

1. What happens when changing employers when I-140 and I-485 pending for less than 180 days?
The key criteria here is an approved I-140 + I-485 pending for more than 180 days. My understanding is that if you do not satisfy both clauses, you will have to re-start the process again when you change employers
Having an approved 140 and a 485 pending for more than six months is the safe method of switching. For AC21, the key is to have your 485 pending for more than six months. You can use AC21 to switch employers after six months of filing of 485 even if your 140 is not approved. Its not a simple process but folks have done it.
