I hope you won't try to buy your potential mugger some beer! He's just going to drink the beer and still shoot you :)
i'll take this as joke.
Trust me, if he wants to kill you, he won't ask for your money.
If he asks for your money/car, he doesn't intend to kill you.

But, more seriously thinking, isn't Mexico also one of the backlogged EB countries? I doubt they will mind having a provision for us while they do their campaign. Perhaps we really ought to join hands with them so our objects can get more widespread support .. just an idea
Mexico is lobbying for all out amnesty. Their backlog is far lesser .

Same situation here guys.
E-filed AP & EAD renewal for me and my wife at TSC on Jul 07th.
Got soft LUD on Jul 16th for both applications right after sending supporting documents.
Got EAD renewal approval on Jul 29th for both of us.
Still waiting AP renewal approval for both us after almost 100 days pending.
Have to attend an important business conference in Argentina on Oct 22, paid for registration fees, flights, hotel, etc. almost Usd 10,000.00 in costs and USCIS National Customer Service tells me this week I have to wait another 65 days !!!!! They said TSC is processing AP applications of May 23rd!!!!! Can you believe that? Had to call again and another representative opened a SR last week. No actions from USCIS so far. Went to an Infopass appointment this week and got same reply "you have to wait your case is still under review and within processing times". Sent a complaint and support documents to USCIS Ombudsman yesterday. Let's see but at this point I don't know what else to do. This is ridiculous, having almost to beg USCIS to do their job right, when you paid high for it and they simply ignore you. As usual treating you as another number in the files. Simply very disrespectful!

This is my third post regarding this topic. I have made my contibution and urged all my friends to do the same. [B]Can we sell some add space[B]. If we can have more broad immigartion related topics like proceesing times, more people visit and we can probably sell some add space
Raju,
Thanks for your input.
We haven't ignored the suggestion about selling ad space.
IV is not yet a very high traffic portal. Usually ad space prices range from a dollar to couple dollars (if that!) for every 10,000 impressions. So this may not be a practical thing to do, given the very low returns for the associated effort.
But thanks a lot for your contribution

Please let me know your thoughts..
I-140 is approved. I-485 was filed in July 2007. I have an opportunity to move to another company for a similar job profile. But the new company wants me to work as a contractor (hourly) on W2.
Is that a problem when filing AC-21?
Please advise.

Love the spirit of this post. Done some research and giving info, pushing us to do more than say yes - awesome, will start checking out details.
It would also be good, if we can have members posting in what way they can help out for the advocacy days - in this thread (not just in the form) - this way, many of us will be motivated and try out different options!

Hi,
Good work guys.
My contribution of $100 by paper check went out today.
Weeks turned into months, months into years passively looking out to get GC thinking that you being an honest individual, contributor to the industry and economy and society here, you will get it soon.
Then comes the bombshell of retrogression telling you to stick to your same job, employer and salary not for 2-3 years but something like 5-6 or more years, while away your most productive years of life waiting for GC uncertain and unable to get on with your normal life, unable to make major decisions of life.
A flicker of hope was raised by the senate bill in dec 2005 that the wait will come to an end. But just so little of political support, lot of apathy and ignorance, and determined opposition by well funded anti-immigration lobbies killed that hope.
Now one realises you are up against a solid, a very solid challenge. Only a focussed and organised action can overcome this challenge.
The momentum of individual activity during nov-dec 2005 was very good. It will be needed again. But that activity alone did not get us the results. What is needed here is an organised and focussed efforts by committed people backed by good funding. That's the way America works.
And this is what I see Immigration Voice doing. And it will need more members, money contribution and activism by the aspirants.
Hence guys, contribute and spread the word. dig out your address books, send the mails, call your friends, colleagues and request them to join the effort.
Few things I would like to mention:
The immigration issue has gathered a good steam in US politics. Something will surely get done by the congress about the whole immigartion issue soon. Our issue is one part of it. If we miss this bus, this topic of immigration is not going to get hot for many more years.
We are also up against formidable anti-immigration forces which conveniently mixes legal immigartion with illegal one.
We are also up against a lot of ignorance and apathy on the part of politicians about legal immigration.
The lobbying by corporates is our ally in this effort. They are one of the affected party because of retrogression.
Few pro-legal-immigration members of congress are our allies in this effort.
On the whole we, as a legal immigrant community, has good deal of work to do in a very short time in a do or die situation.
Hence join Immigration Voice, contribute and give a call for action to your friends.
I did that during the senate bill period. I will be doing it again.
Thanks,
Viren

We are looking for several articles that we can publish in various newspapers and websites as the immigration debate heats up in the media.
----------------
Opportunity (1)
We have an opportunity to write an article for a big Indian newspaper on our issues.
This article will also be published online and thus read by Indians in India, and NRI indians online.
The article should talk about the EB greencard problems and how it affect the lives of people who come to this country on H1B visas. Indian media it seems is confused on H1b visas and greencard process. They have on various occasions reported incorrect news on immigration legislation. Getting an H1B visa seems to be the be all and end all solution to come as a permananent resident of this country. While H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa, Greencard is the immigrant visa.
We want this article to solely focus on Greencards. The title can be like --"In Search of the Green Card". The article can be such that general public in India is educated and made aware of the struggles to achieve the coveted GC.
Make sure to write it as if you are a representative (member) of Immigration Voice and mention ImmigrationVoice name a few times in the article. Write aboout what immigration voice is doing to solve this problem and how this grassroots movement has grown nationwide and will enable a change in the broken immigrationsystem for high-skilled immigrants.
The deadline for writing this article in wednesday , Feb 28. Pls write the article and post it on this thread so that we can store these articles and others can read it too to comment.
============
Opportunity (2)
We have few other opportunities to get it published by a media company and the articles are picked up by various ethinic media newspapers and websites for publication. Any interested IV member can write articles for this.
The article can be more focussed on the greencard problem and how it affects the lives of people here and american competitiveness. Why the system needs to be fixed and how a grassroots movement like IV can help this. You can include your personal story in this article too if you like. The target readers are american public and potential IV members.
================
Opportunity (3)
We keep getting requests for articles so lets keep writing articles and store on this thread. Iv will try to get them published for you.
====================
A new thread is created so that everyone can notice it. I will be merging this thread with 'calling IV members with good writing skills in a few days'.
we want more people to write these articles and store on this thread.

Any visa form or I-94 form at POE will contain a section for declaring these.
Yes, you have to indicate. If you don't and they findout it would constitute perjury leading to revocation and possibly complicate your life further.
I-94 form does not have any such thing.. But DS-156 and 157 might have.. so if the guy goes and does not apply for a visa he shud be fine i think...

You didn't get me. If the majority members say lets do all of them, which ones you think you will be able to do?
If we happened to choose all of them, then people (whose attention we are trying to draw) would laugh at us.
We can go with one or two (we want end results), but definitely not with all of them. I mentioned the same clearly in my posting.

Idea of sending cds, chips, to congress has been discussed last year.
I am of the opinion that we should send helmets. (kids bike helmets).
Check this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1265&highlight=helmet
I suggest we initiate a campaign called "PROTECT THE BRAIN". That is protect the talent and knowledge of immigrants,
and facilitate Permanent residency for legal talented immigrants.
I agree that we should send lawmakers something big, bulky, and noticeable.
Something that sits in their offices, is personalised with different colors and notes giving the same message. I feel that books or cds can just be unattractive and not a big topic of discussion amongst the staff. (Ultimately it has to be something unusual to create curiosity and attract attention and discussion)
So we send them helmets with our degree certificates/ message from IV pasted on it.
Helmets will say "protect brains". Save the country from losing legal high tech workers.
http://www.bhsi.org/cheapies.htm
If you need helmets for a campaign, or perhaps just for a large family, we routinely see Sunday newspaper ads in our area for helmets certified to the CPSC standard for between $10 and $20. Toys 'R' Us has them every day for $8 to $25, and Target has them in the same range, starting at $7.14 and as low as $6.39 to $5.79 when on sale. Walmart has Bell brand youth, adult and toddler helmets starting at $7.14
Some local bike shops will shave their prices for a campaign to encourage more walk-in business. So you may find good helmets for your program at a local discounter or bike shop.
There are also good deals from mail order suppliers with ads in bicycle magazines or on the Internet. Since the CPSC standard became law in 1999, any helmets you buy should have the sticker inside certifying to it.
If you are seeking bids for a large order, or do not have local sources of cheap helmets, there are alternatives:
These helmets can be recycled and given away to charity or for lower income programs supporting kids.

With all due respect, the probelem I have with volunteers is that I don't think amtures can pull a job this big, you've got to have profesionals, somethng like a compain maneger.
I admire the courage of your guys, and think the goal is fantastic. But the way it goes, I don't see how it can be achieved.
I've learned a great deal about immigration from the forum here. I very much appreciate it. I try to give back by answering questions others may have. I think IV has been doing a great job serving as that capacity.
But you guys want do something bigger. Well, you have faith in it, I don't, at least not now, neither many others. Maybe that is why you are still asking for money and volunteers.
IV was started by a few dedicated members, it has grown since then. It will continue to grow. As it grows and get more funding, IV can hire someone professional to do the things you say. However, you have to start somewhere. Can't expect to have paid professional managers first, before we even have the funding, and then look for funding to do the things it does.
And IV is more than a website. We want to build a strong grass roots movement by strengthening the state chapters. There is more than just lobbying that needs to be done.
As I was reading the posts, I was just thinking to myself that it will involve a lot of work to collect the checks, keep a record (even non-profits must maintain it for IRS I suppose) and deposit it. Most people in IV now are working professionals with a day job. The current system of electronic payment is best for now, in my opinion.

MS - Fast and Cheap.
Fast - Typically MS degree requires 30 to 36. credits or more. Typical full time student takes 9 credits per semester. Assuming you are going to take Course Only option.
Maximizing your Study Plan - 12 (Fall) + 12 (spring) + 9 (Summer). There you have it the Fastest way. I don't see a way to get MS faster that 1 year.
Cheap - Cheap can be in the form of Scholarship, Financial Aid or atleast In-State Fees. If you plan to work full time and study 12 credits, get ready for a bumpy ride for 1 year.
These days, you get RA/TA only if you work for a professor and that will take you into Thesis Option. Completing Thesis + Course work in 12 months is no simple task, when schools generally require 2 semester of Thesis work in addition to course work.
Online MS is another option, but its not cheap. Find a nearby school where you have established residency. Talk to schools Admission office to see if you qualify for In-state Fees based on your resident status.
