That is a good sentiment, Bkam.
Please don't mistake BerkeleyBee's post. From the point of view of the core team, many posters have ideas that seem correct to them and they post 'This is my idea, why can't we do this?'. In plain language, that translates to 'Why can't the core team do this?'.
So from my point of view - simply as someone who has been posting for a long time in Usenet, newsgroups etc - if you have a good idea, implement it yourself. E.g., if you want a webfax that thanks Senators, write the webfax and post it. Sample webfaxes are available on the website, customize it and post it. The "core team" is human. We are balancing full time jobs with the web site and it would help if people making suggestions also implemented it.
In this idea that has been posted re: educating people in other countries, that is NOT part of IV's mission. IV's mission is clear: it is social service to people that want to get a green card. It is also social service to educate prospective immigrants about the delays in the GC process. However, that is not part of IV's mission. It can be part of Bkam's and Learning01's personal missions, however.
I think the one additional thing is also that we need to using harsh terms to blame the U.S. system or Congress for our problems. Lots of people have problems, Congress has limited time to tackle everyone's problems. As someone prominent that we met said 'War on terror, injustice to immigrants.. You know what is going to win every time'. So let us keep perspective and soldier on, remember we are also getting prominent, so now is the time to present ourselves and the forum in the best light possible.

I was very impressed by the guy who sang the national anthem...who was he?? He was too good!!
And for all of Logiclife's detractors, you should have heard him speak yesterday!:) He is simply 3 good!:) he could have energized you, motivated you and prompted you to do more for our cause, by the way he spoke and what he spoke.
We're still talking about it at home and how good both of us felt to be a part of this movement. Can't wait to see more pix and videos!:)

Help!!
Is any company filing new PERM applications in this economy? I was told that my current company (a really big one at that) is holding off PERMs indefinitely because we had some layoffs- indefinitely!
My H1 runs out in Oct 2010, and I heard that I have only till end of Nov 2009 (including what I found out is called recapture time) to file.
Now, I found out that my company have do newspaper/online ads for positions to demonstate that they tested the labor market etc etc (all stuff that I heard from the attorney), and I got the impression that she has no idea when they are going to do this and start filing again, and I got something like a best of luck look from her. I am freaked out now.
Any of you out there know if any companies are still filing PERMs? I am on a EB-2 in Software.
Also, if I join a new company, can I file a PERM immediately? Or is it just best of luck to me?
Looks like I have to look into a Canada visa / Australian or UK visa or better go back and spend sometime in India. Any thoughts from any of you more enterprising folks out there? I have little knowledge of the process (my fault!) but I am stressed and freaked now.

Well, we can keep the org name as IV, and just start a campaign with a better name (with descriptive URLs) without worrying about the overhead of changing registrations, etc.
There are some good points here, "ImmigrationVoice" sounds very broad and comprehensive. Most American's have never even heard of employment based immigration. Furthermore, they don't see what the problem is with H1Bs - they figure, why are you complaining, you are here in the glorious USA, you should be thankfull and happy.
Anyway, some better branding on our part with campaigns can serve the same purpose as a fullblown name change. For example, the campaign could be called: "Competitive Immigration", and it's derivatives. "Innovation America", like CompeteAmerica which has a great name. Also, "Keep America on Top" or KAT, just spewing ideas that come to mind.... and emphasize the need to keep and attract bright minds to America - or else they will compete with us offshore.
So, let's think about hatching campaigns - like a Google AdWord Campaign, for example, and we'll name those campaigns much more purposely and descriptively. And we still get to keep the IV name as the sponsor. Just a thought.

We cannot predict the future but we can predict with some given statistics!
If people who got their AP from NSC could just menion how long it took for them to receive ap document it would be statistical and we can there upon make some judgements !!
Noone is asking for exact dates from USCIS. We are all still very much in a limbo and this is just for getting some heads up!!
TSC is taking about three months. Mine took three months and I applied on July 2nd to TSC. So, my guess is statistically, at least 3+ months for NSC, since they will be concentrating on sending out EAD's.
But, I leave it to others to give specific numbers.

My opinion (may be incorrect):
You should show your approval notice at the port of entry along withyour passport(visa). The immigration officer should put the date based on your approval notice on your I-94. If he doesn't (make sure you check you I-94 at that time), request him to correct the date. If still he doesn't then last action rule applies as you stated.

I wanted to share with all you guys that last Friday I went to the local CBP office and got our I-94 extended till 2010 :)
phew...what a relief it is. The officer was very polite and accepted that it was the POE Officer's mistake and told me that he blew it up. He gave us a new I-94 and struck out the number and wrote the number that was in my old I-94. He also updated that info in the system.
Thanks for all your help.

I think there is a new office that has been started to address the plight of the NRIs.. I am not sure if the office is under the 'External affairs ministry'. I think, it will make more sense to send it to this new office.
Friends,
I just joined this portal and I am very impressed...., wish I had joined earlier....
If we can quickly put together some PPT presentations and our problems in immigration, we should rush it to President and PMO office in India and make a request to hand it over to Mr.Bush when he is visiting India....., It may be too late but we can give a shot.
What you think ?

We have to help ourselves.
I for one will not be surprised. These undocumented immigrants march in thousands at their rallies [even though they face chances of deportation]. They are active in talking to media and getting publicity for their cause. They are also more actively contributing to help their cause. They have very strong backers - Agri-business, fast-food chains, restaurant owners, construction business , and immigration attorneys [ who will make lot of money if Z-visa gets passed], strong ethnocentric groups with considerable political clout, and many of them have US citizen relatives [who vote]
On the other hand, support of many immigration attoneys to EB immigration is half-hearted, high-tech employers care more about increasing H1B quota. Like it or not - IV is the only organization that is 100% devoted to EB immigration and working for our cause. Given this reality, IV should have got full support monetary and participation from 25,000 strong community here. As we know, only a minority of the community are doing all they can to help IV achieve its goal.
If we are not doing enough to help our cause, what right to we have to blame others for not helping us? In a way, we do deserve the step-motherly treatment for all the lethargy our community shows in standing up for its issues, and demanding a solution.

The pattern of RFE's on AP's are from those cases applied at NSC >> CSC issued Receipts/EAD/AP >> 485 back to NSC.
I got an RFE for I-131 for both myself and my wife. They have asked for absolutely everything (I-485 receipt, I-140 approval, I-94s, I-797s, marriage certificate, Passport copies etc). As my lawyer said "they have thrown the kitchen sink at you".
I dont even know why - but the amount of documentation they have asked for seems absurd just to issue a travel document.
BTW - my EAD from the sample application was approved!

There is no way to clean every thing with in 3 to 4 years, Why because like EB3 china and India had country limit per year.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.
