Folks,
I know many of you may have already thought about this at some point. I'll lay out my views on the donations...IV can object/correct.
I'm following the donations thread along with many of you and there is not much to be excited there.2000$ in 2 weeks....for all the Agenda that pappu has posted. I understand that everyone(including me)...will have limited resources at our disposal every month...may it be mortgage/daycare/medical/school or those unexpected repairs...so the bottom line is there is not much room to increase our monthly contributions or...holiday contributions.
I was thinking...we are 25000 'real' people...and there are more than one visit by each person to this site.
1. Can IV use any space to advertise...so that IV can get some AD Money?
2. Is it possible to get some space on popular pro-immigrant or immigrant driven websites...to donate to our cause?
3. Would it be possible to split the donation denominations further down...like 5 dollars..or even low..so that all immigrants...including people who got the GC's/Citizenship can contribute with out looking deeper into their pockets.
4. Optional....ebay/paypal donation to the peoples questions/answers...Mind you it is totally optional...if you want to donate 5/10/20/100...or how important the question is and hw satisfied the person is with the information...etc
5. DOnation boxes at Immigrant owned grocery stores...with out compromising their principles
Folks, I have layed them out with good intentions...and have also given a thought of what I personally can do for each point above...I'm not expecting the vultures to prey...on the post with mundane comments.
Regards.

Congratulations! What a story!
I have been waiting for my GC application to be approved (marriage-based) for over 2 years now and haven't heard anything. People are suggesting me to go the Writ of Mandumus route...
Do you mind telling me approximately how much it cost you to go through the Writ of Mandumus process?

The intent of US immigration (employment or otherwise) is to import diverse population such that it benefits US in various different ways (socially, culturally, economically). Employment category comes under the larger umbrella of such goals.
.
Diversity is definitely not meant for EB based categories. EB immigration is purely based on merits. I think you are inventing a new "intent" here.
I remember one republican member of judiciary committee recommending to get rid of Diversity visa category all together and granting those visas to EB category while discussing the visa recapture bill.
He also proposed to reduce FB immigration and grant those visas to EB.
Why are you sounding like an anti-immigrant ? Did you already get your green card ?
Anyways bills and amendments are meant to fix laws that are outdated or irrelevant.
If US was really concerned about diversity, they should take into account the ethnicity of all GC holders and citizens when considering the country limits.

This is real good discussion. I just wanted to know if anyone has travelled using AP multiple times. I just came back from Europe and used AP to reenter. I am still maintaining my H1B status, but I would like to travel to India again in December. I will be using AP again.
Is it possible? Any one sees any issues with it?
Please advice.

what makes you think i have a website and I evaluate?? Moron, I was asking the person to get the documents evaluated and let other know, so that others who are in same position can benefit from that.

I am in eb3 row, have a job waiting for me in the usa, but i am in england, Have a PD of june 06, am terrified that my job offer will be withdrawn if i dont make some progress soon. Have had job offer for 1 year this week.
Could EB3 row become current soon.??
You don't indicate what stage your application is in (LC/PERM, 140 etc.) Is there a reason your prospective employer has not applied for an H1-B so you can start work before you get a greencard? (This is what 99% of EB applicants have done.)
Assuming they can't or won't, to answer your specific question here is my opinion (FWIW I'm English, EB-3 ROW with a PD of May 2003, on my 8th year of H-1B employment in the USA.):
My guess is the odds are about 50/50 that some form of immigration reform will be passed by the US government "soon" that would positively affect EB3 ROW. The practical definition of "soon" in this case is by September 2007, which allows time for debate, compromise, Presidential wanking around and who knows what Kafka-esque delays in actually enacting the law.
IF this happened there is still no guarantee this change would be positive enough to entirely clear the backlog that so a PD of June 2006 might still not to become current by September 2007.
IF this doesn't happen there is practically 0 chance of any changes that would positively effect EB retrogression prior to March 2009. (After the new government is elected in November 2008 AND then convenes a new session AND then deals with more urgent business than immigration reform.)
So some (hopefully) practical advice:
1) If you can get an H-1B now then do so
2) If you can't get an H-1B start studying for a Masters NOW. This will help you in the long run even if you get your Greencard through EB-3 because higher degrees from the UK are very valued in the USA. And if there is no improvement in EB-3 you at least have a chance at EB-2.
3) If you have no family ties and just want to go someone in North America you would almost certainly be eligible for permanent Canadian residency. You can just go to their website and fill out a simple, points-based questionnaire online. Then you can always visit the Disneyland from Canada!
HTH, GL.

If we had stayed back in india, we don't have have to do any of these.:rolleyes::confused: . After GC also no freedom. As one of my american co-worker was telling, In America only the statue of liberty has the freedom.
The mistaken notion "GC = freedom" seems so pervasive that I am also tempted to take a whack at this much maligned equation. Lot of anguish can be spared by keeping our expectation from this 3" X 2" plastic somewhat grounded in reality. There is no denying that having GC makes life easier than before, specifically by opening up more job/career opportunities. But these have nothing to do with the constitutional freedom that you presumably allude to with your Statue of Liberty analogy (I should say though, as a metaphor this quote of your colleague is pretty lame). Not only GC does not give us the right to vote, it cannot even protect us from deportation risk on relatively minor legal grounds (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/12/us/12naturalize.html?_r=1). It is perhaps wise to remind ourselves that GC is a privilege (http://www.wr.org/media/pdf/immigrationassistance/permanentresident.pdf), not a right.
Here is the other thing I do not get. What is so hard to do in the list that raises such heckles of hair loss, back-in-good-ole-days-life-was-better, and whatnot? It is all about doing little day-to-day things such as maintaining documents (that you would do anyway), or carrying PR card in your (already bloated) wallet, and other mostly mundane stuff. I do not find this such a tortuous existence, despite being a lazy bum myself.

>> AC21 memo is a real memo.
Wow, what an ignorance. May I ask, what do you mean by "real memo".
Read previous post and get enlightened. I can't believe that you guys even don't have distinctions about law, CFR, and memos.
AC-21 is law.
Hope it helps.

Correct. It is a bill that was signed into a law. Though USCIS follows AC21 in form of Memos, the law is binding and that's why we see that AC21 always works . It cannot be compared to the new h1b memo.

Jazz,
As far as the fund drive is concerned I disagree that without the VB we would have not reached our goal We over 22.5K in 6 days. The VB provided a push but I am sure we could have collected the remaining 7.5K in 24 days.
Do you think the drive would have reached its original goal yesterday/early today without the January visa bulletin retrogressing us even further...?
I have my doubts about that... :)
And how far in the past would we need to retrogress to get another funding drive done...?

I agree with this part. The moment employer knows that job offer is no longer valid, he should withdraw h1. Since he did not do that, it would work agsinst him.
Dol only understands two dates approval date and date of withdrawal.
To me this employer looks more stu**d than evil.

I have an MS degree, so IF the SKIL is passed, my PD will become current.
My understanding of SKILL for US MS is that it will not be counted against the cap. I don't see it saying that PD does not matter for US MS. What am I missing? Thanks.

I see there is a very common misconception in these forums
First. EB2-I being current does not help EB3-I -- at least not directly. The numbers after EB2-I being current will not rollover into EB3-I. It goes to the general EB3 pool, from where first the 7% rule is applied, so unless EB3-World becomes current, EB3-I does not benefit from the numbers.
2nd, yes, the reclamation will help, but again not to a great extent -- at least not directly. All of the numbers so gained will go based on the 7% cutoff, so while we will get some extra numbers, but does not mean EB3-I will go ahead by leaps and bounds, that is until all the rest of the categories are current.
Most of recaptured numbers will come to EB2-I and EB3-I bcoz EB3-ROW is not that bad and EB2-ROW is always current. So yes, any recapture will benefit EB3-I significantly

smisachu,
here is what i have figured out in last 4 year and i have been to various blogs.
1. i have read various blogs all are saying trading options with all good stuff you can hardly make any money. Most of the term you have used i have some idea what its is , but havent studied it properly.
2. trading is gambling- you can have some edge by stastical analysis what have performed well over a long time. so backtest u r system over 10 years.
3. would like to know what kind returns are you targeting with options
4. spreads can be an way to go ..but has to be directional bet or else difficult. I have seen lot of iron condor guys breaking down in recent melt down and up.
5. so i kind of believe in hit and run and momentum play - what else can make you money where nothing is certain
6. buying when rsi2 is depressed and selling quickly - can be spread havent back tested it.
i backtest using stockfetcher. but u cant backtest options, you have to manually do it. itried some using think or swim platform.
so i am trying to see if anybody else has any good strategy to share.
