I am 19 yrs old and on H4 visa since Sept 2002. Will this act be of any help for students on H4 who will get be aging out shortly at 21 yrs.
Your valuable input will be of great help. Please share your views.
Or is the act only for students of Illegal parents.
Thanks

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
That is a good point.
But now its too late. Changing names means:
1. We have to change names everywhere, including the name in the registration of the organization in New Jersey where its registered as non-profit, name change in other places like IRS where we got approved as a non-profit organization for tax purposes, in next year's tax return, etc.
2. Changing names in other reports we file at Federal Govt.
3. Letting all offices and other org we are working with know about this.
You would be surprised how much awareness and knowledge is there about Immigration Voice in the staff of various Senators and senior house members. Most of the Judiciary counsel staffers know about immigration voice. Since so much work has gone into building the name-recognition .... A VERY IMPORTANT ASSET... it would be tough to transfer all the name recognition to a new name.

Well, my attorney filed interfiling last friday and according to him, my 485 file should be updated with the new I-140 in 3 to 4 weeks from now. He informed that we should not expect any written confirmation from USCIS though. I will keep you guys updated in this regard. In the mean time, if anybody in the forum has gone through this process, please share your experience.

I don't see a reason why you want to campaign, is it just because this months visa bulletin didn't make you happy?
Sending flowers and telling USCIS how to fix their issues will not help. We must stop and think first before we ask them to do this and than.
Good to see the count already three (here) in just 30 min of posting this idea (IV's one of the peaceful ways). So I am sure there will be huge response. Please spread this message as much as you can, and see if we can gather a good #.
ALSO we will have to wait for IV Admin to approve this, as I am just a junior member and dont have that capacity. WE MUSt start one more campaign.
Please spread this among your friends and make a difference. On this INdependence eve, lets work in the same lines as those great people did. We may like one leader or we may not like due to their approaches. But one most common thing you will see in all is UNity in what they did and strength came from there.

One of ways in which you can make the lawmakers realize the seriousness of the issue of EB relief is by telling them about it in person. They meet tons of other people every day and hear about many issues that are just as important to the others who meet them. So to convince them of the urgency, IMHO, we all must go to their offices and talk to them. That requires you to take some time off from your schedule. Many of us have already met lawmakers. Join your local chapter.
Can we have
1) links and pointers to background material and other things we could study, so that we are on the same page, and can educate ourselves on what to ask lawmakers/public
2) a presentation/paper, so that we have the same, the best, and the most presentable message.
If this already exists, and I just haven't found it yet, I apologize....

Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(
Hey common man i LOVED that TV serial :) For a brief 2-3 months it raised visions of me becoming a Forest officer ;) But yeah i vividly remember that serial too. :)

A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
===================
UPDATE FROM THE REPORTER
Actually, what I'm looking for is very broad -- anyone on a work permit
who is concerned about the current economic situation and job losses in
the U.S. economy.
==============
The reporter is trying to speak to immigrants waiting for their Greencards about their concerns about job security, if they have a plan B, if they've been pushed out in restructurings/layoffs and moved to a new job, etc, as they hear the layoffs this year are affecting such people, particularly in the
financial sector
====================
So I guess a lot of people on the forum will qualify. If you are good with interviews, pls contact asap.

I am confused because I read that you have to declare any foreign accounts held.
This applies to US Citizens ...it may apply to you if you already have your green card...but i am not fully sure about this....and i am quite sure it does not apply if you are on a work visa

its not that simple. were you here in 2000-2002 also? When the whole company is running into major losses complete department and locations get wiped out. Does not matter how critical a resource you are. If the people at the top decide to scrap the product, the team goes with it. Thats how companies like Nortel, Lucent etc manage to go from employment figures of 100K to 30K in a couple of years...

Similar situation...
I am getting married in the 1st week of Sep and am planning to get my spouse by mid Sep.
Can someone please suggest if I am fine, if I apply alone for I-485 around Jul30(and not for EAD and AP??) and add my spouse around sep20th. I-140 approval is pending and have a valid visa till '08.
How long does it take for the I-485 'approval' and is 2-3 months a safe window to add ones spouse?
Any suggestions and help with my planning are greatly appreciated. :)
1) Does one have to be physically present in the US to apply for I-485? Can I send the marriage certificate and any other papers reqd from both of us in Sep 1st week from India (hopefully PD would be current)
2) Is it just the marriage cert that is reqd for filing I-485 together. Assuming I am here and have the marriage cert, can I apply for my spouse even if she is in India.
Thanks.

I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r.
Hope some of you will learn a lesson from it and stop posting threads about Telgus, Eb3 vs Eb2.
I have also seen posts by ignorant educated illiterates on IV where they advice people to do illegal things. Some of you own consulting firms or businesses and try to promote it by posting and sending Private messages. If we see such message, let us give reds and report to IV. We also need to discourage people from answering wrong info to posts where someone is illegal/out of status. All this used against us.
good post after a long time...

If he is going to start with new PERM. new I-140, he can port the old PD based on old I-140.
I disagree based on the following:
Accordingly, guidance in the June 19, 2001, memorandum provides that the labor
certification or approval of a Form I-140 employment-based (EB) immigrant petition shall
remain valid when an alien changes jobs, if:
(a) A Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status, on the basis of the EB
immigrant petition has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180
days or more; and
(b) The new job is in the same or similar occupational classification as the job
for which the certification or approval was initially made.
note the "and" between (a) and (b) and note point (a) which states that a pending 485 is necessary for an alien to change jobs
this is from the USCIS website

I just talked to our company lawyer and she said that they are seeing a lot of 485 approvals from the receipt dates from last week of july and a little before that ...
good luck to all!
When you said 'receipt-dates', were those the actual receipt dates or the erroneous notice dates that would appear in the online status page?

What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Yeah, sticking up for the Muggle-born :)
Salary should not be drastically different, but -20-30% should not be a red flag. Can you construct a more complicated compensation agreement that would include defined compensation (salary) and your share in profits or equity of the company? On one hand, it may be a good idea overall (and will protect your friendship), on the other hand, it is a lot harder for USCIS to cause trouble if they can't clearly understand what your total compansation compared to old job would be.

Hi,
All my checks got cashed today (6 of them). My I140 is pending at TSC. I don't know where my applications went and what time and who signed for it. All i know is my attorney sent my applications to be delivered on July 2nd.
