We appreciate all the one time contributions also, we are counting all the recurring contributing members. Right now we need 885 more.
I gurantee monthly contributions. But, sorry, don't trust the automated & recurring transfers. I can sense there maybe other people with the same thought.
Instead of a target number of recurring contributors, can you publish target monthly contributions (e.g. $XK target for Jan & $YK target for Feb and so on). It will be easier for us to gauge the shortage.
Any insight into the distribution of spend (bet. lobbyists, admin etc) would be very useful too.

I think CITIZENShip years Credit or Reduction in the years is Make most sense for the highly skilled immigrant from India and China as those are the people who suffers most because of backlog and name check.
I also think we should stick to the "five year federal taxes paid" beacuse that is what they expect from normal family based GC holder. Also adding Masters and Higher degrees in the STEM fields attract possible more support.
We should not talk any where close to 10 /15 years waiting time as that is not what current system of citizesnship talks about.
Also marriage based GC already has 3 years after GC rule so it may beeasy to get it.
Making it more complicated like Percent credit for before GC filing, after GC filing, after getting GC May become hard and complicated to convenince politicains who might be amending those rules.
So Keeping it simple - 5 yr federal taxes, MS or higher in STEM, 3 years after GC - you get citizenship (all of these has precedents)
IV Core team, have a look into the valid and genuine ideas on citizenship in this thread and try to include them in the phase 2 campaign. For our long term vision & goal, this should also be a part of our campaign.

From what I understand, a conference committee is generally only formed once major difference have been ironed out in the back rooms. In fact the conference committee will only be formed to make the process formal. Again Senate majority leader Bill Frist had talked about the formation of the committee immediately after they came back from recess. That time is far gone. Given this situation it seems that there are some very serious differences that have cropped up. Taking the risk of sounding pessimistic it appears that momentum gained by all the headlines seems to be losing steam and the issue seems to be slowly disappearing from national attention. This can have both a positive and negative impact. The positive impact is that legislators will find it easy to do their work. The negative impact is that legislators will maintain status quo as that is what they like doing. For those opposed to the bill it is better that CIR bill is not taken up now as it still serves their purpose. For us it is always better that something happens to the CIR bill.

She obviously cannot wait till Oct 1st or she won't get paid for the first week (at least). Contact the SSN office to find out how soon you have to file. In my opinion, you are eligible to get an SSN the moment you receive work authorization (even if its for a future date).
i will call them up and post my experience here.

Much appreciated
I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

This is very interesting data. Pending 485s = 593937!! and number received in Feb = 38,663. To simplyfy assuming 600,000 pending and 38,000 new per month. Which means they get 456,000 apps per year. The total quota of Family + EB + Lottery + Refugee + Special = 226,000 + 140,000 + 55,000 + 90,000 + 10,000 = 521,000.
So if all green card apps were on equal footing and were always allocated it would take more than 9 years to clear the pending applications. But we all know that that is not the case so it might be 10, 12 or 15 years before the backlog is cleared and that would the best case scenario. This means retrogression will only get worse.
Perhaps, you missed a zero. Broad calculations as per info given by you, suggests 1 year to clear, not 10 years. However, most of the unusual delay for retrogressed countries is due to per country limit coupled with the fact that most of the applications are from a handful countries. This results in non-retrogessed cases clearing less than a year, but retrogressed apps have to wait for several years. This is topped by non-availability of PD's of applications in system readable form (PD's are nowhere written but the paper applications), resulting in guess work (and back and forth cutoff date movements).

Enforcement First
The right way to reform immigration.
An NRO Primary Document
Editor's note: This letter was released this morning by John Fonte of the Hudson Institute.
Prominent Conservatives and Civic Leaders Urge President Bush and Congress to Back Enforcement First on Immigration
Leading conservatives and civic leaders have signed an �open letter� on immigration declaring that �border and interior enforcement must be funded, operational, implemented, and proven successful � and only then can we debate the status of current illegal immigrants, or the need for new guest worker programs.�
The signers include William Bennett, Robert Bork, William F Buckley, Ward Connerly, Newt Gingrich, David Horowitz, David Keene, John Leo, Herbert London, Rich Lowry, Daniel Pipes, Phyllis Schlafly, and Thomas Sowell among others.
Hudson Senior Fellow John Fonte, who organized the letter, said:
�We want to commend the members of Congress who have supported enforcement first including 85% of all Congressional Republicans, 36 Democrats in the House and 4 in the Senate.�
�We particularly want to thank Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and House chairmen Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Peter King (R-NY) for their leadership role in putting America�s national interests in border and interior enforcement first.�
As a matter of organizational policy, Hudson Institute does not take stances on pending legislation.
�First Things First on Immigration: An Open Letter to President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Frist, and Speaker of the House, Hastert�
Recently, columnist Thomas Sowell wrote: �It will take time to see how various new border control methods work out in practice and there is no reason to rush ahead to deal with people already illegally in this country before the facts are in on how well the borders have been secured.�
We the undersigned agree with this statement. In 1986, Congress passed �comprehensive� immigration reform that included amnesty for around 3 million illegal immigrants, border enforcement, and interior enforcement (employer sanctions). Amnesty came, but enforcement was never seriously implemented either at the border or in the interior.
Let us not make this mistake again. We favor what Newt Gingrich has described as �sequencing.� First border and interior enforcement must be funded, operational, implemented, and proven successful � and only then can we debate the status of current illegal immigrants, or the need for new guest worker programs. We are in the middle of a global war on terror. 2006 is not 1986. Today, we need proof that enforcement (both at the border and in the interior) is successful before anything else happens. As Ronald Reagan used to say �trust, but verify.�
The majority of Republicans in the Senate opposed the recently passed Hagel-Martinez bill. Senator Vitter (R-LA) said that because border enforcement will not be in place, �this [bill] will in fact make the illegal immigration problem much bigger.� The No. 3 Republican in the Senate, Senator Rick Santorum (PA) said, �We need a border-security bill first.� Senator Vitter, Senator Santorum, the majority of Senate Republicans, and the majority of House Republicans are right � we need proven enforcement before we do anything else. Adopting cosmetic legislation to appear to be �doing something� about enforcement, but which actually makes the situation worse, is not statesmanship, it is demagogy.
We thank the majority of the Senate Republicans (33 in all) and the seven Democrats who supported the Isakson amendment, which insists upon verifiable benchmarks for border security before considering other issues. Moreover, we say �Thank You� to Jim Sensenbrenner, Peter King, and the bi-partisan House majority including 36 Democrats, that passed HR 4437. We may quibble with a clause here and there, but you in the House and the majority of Senate Republicans are right to emphasize that the Congress and the President must deal with enforcement first and other issues later. Stand fast; the American people are overwhelmingly with you.

a lot has been said about non participation from the region nearby to DC.
but this post is about something very different. i would like to highlight the
very important role that our members and volunteers from tri state and the DC area played in the rally. they worked against all odds and deserve sincere thanks.
tri state: this is the most dedicated bunch there is...singhsa3, chanduv23, tnight, siravi, mpadapa, mbartosik, poonam and many others worked tirelessly against serious odds to cover the region with fliers and motivate rally goers and contributors. i'm sure i'm forgetting someone...very sorry...tell me and i'll edit :-) tikka whose commitment to iv is always without question made it to the rally despite serious work constraints and always set an example for others to follow. singhsa3 unfortunately could not and we were only too glad to stand in for him.
the two buses from tri state were arranged by singhsa3 and mpadapa and were superbly managed by laborchic and GreenGrass...sounds like everyone had a great time! we are all confident that the tri state chapter will build over time and will be a force to reckon with- how can it not- it has the most able leaders and volunteers there are....
i have to confess to bugging these folks on a constant basis about spreading the message, in retrospect it was not needed in the least...they walked the talk everyday, took time off work, posted and distributed fliers, called members and did everything one could ask and much more. please join me in thanking the tri state chapter for a lot of hard work and endless motivation to our common cause!
and then the local volunteer team from DC/MD/VA, superbly led by a tireless guy who had a full plate throughout - nixstor! i think many rally goers missed how much work was put in by the local folks, they ran a host program- picked up and dropped from airports and put people up. they were ready and willing to do all asked of them starting saturday itself, and on rally day they were responsible for the whole operation- marshals for the rally and ensuring that after everyone departed the two grounds we used were cleared and cleaned as needed. having been there myself i cannot begin to underestimate how much work remained even after the rally was over. i hesitate to name...arun, girdhar and samir- i know, but there were so many others that worked- that i will let the local team chime in here. a special word for sukh- the man is just incredible. from arranging hotels to buying stationary to arranging flowers and flagpoles to helping with the gurudwaras to running the uhaul and the van..and not least getting more than 800 placards ready for the rally- his work never stopped. we all owe a debt of gratitude to the DC area folks who made this rally possible.
let's stop complaining about what may have been for local attendance and instead celebrate the tri state and DC area chapters for what they did do and what they will...for sure ...in the future as well :)

The very very first, if not only reason for both party to work on this issue is to gain their vote. What do you gain by giving them goodies but does not offer them a chance to appreciate you back (vote)?
I don�t know what is so hard about this deadlock. Don�t they know that if:
1. Illegals are given temporary visas for them to return after a number of years, no-body would come forward. The illegals would see this as shooting themselves in the foot. They would prefer to remain in the dark and live here permanently. Purpose defeated.
2. A tough enforcement only bill is passed, with the hope that there would be attrition after a while: How long would it take for all 12 million illegals to finally leave? 1 million per year? 500K per year? 24 years? Yeah right! Ok assuming they leave at a rate of 500K per year (which I know wouldn�t happen) what would be the rate of inflow of more illegals?? What would be the balance of illegals after say 10 years? Think about it.
3. Give them a path to citizenship. Well they are here anyways but this idea might jeopardize the bill.
So my proposal is: Since �a path to citizenship� is the major road block to this bill, make a law that gives the Illegals an opportunity for GC but include in the law that �Anybody that ever comes into the country illegally CAN NOT become a citizen�. i.e they can get a green card but they can never be eligible for citizenship. I am sure this is a reasonable middle ground�. a path to PR but not citizenship. I am sure those illegals don�t care about citizenship anyways. They just want to be free and be mobile.
Just my thots.

Guys,
What is IV step towards L1A misuse?
I am hearing that too many people are using up this category.
Hmmm....what a Pity?
Does the Gov know....I am sure not.
Cooked up Resumes, small companies are misusing this kind of Visas...
This is not acceptable. Please contact you local Senators.
Whats the point?
Just because we are not getting our greencard in our category, you want to stop other guys from getting it.
How about USCIS and DOL examine your application closely and find faults. Would you want it?
So how can you ask others to have a different rules than you?

A visa number gets allocated only when administrative approval is granted by NVC. Most likely when you applied (packet 3) last year your case was current and visa numbers was available, however by the time they approved your case the window was closed and PDs became U.
NVC does not order a visa number for cases pending only for cases that they have approved/completed.
They do this every month around the 10th like clock work, if by the 10th of any month your case is approved/completed by NVC & your PD is current they order a visa number for you from DOS.
We called the NVC 2 days ago about the status of our application and the guy on the phone (who was, BTW, very polite and patient) told me that everything was processed and as soon as our PD was current we would get an interview appointment very soon.
We also sent an email-inquiry to the NVC last week and just today we got the reply :
"Unfortunately, this case no longer has a visa number available. This is
because the applicant' visa category is oversubscribed, meaning that
the available numerical limit of visas able to be issued was reached.
Upon reaching the numerical limit of visas able to be issued, only
beneficiaries who have a priority date earlier than listed in the current
Visa Bulletin may be allotted a visa number in this visa category. "
So, that must mean that they had a visa number for us back in August 2007 when they sent us the DS230-I and the bills for the visa fees although according to the VB for August/September 2007 EB3 ROW was "U" ?
Hmm, I have to admit that I have kind of given up on understanding how this all works. I'm just looking forward to that day when we finally receive our GC and are able to move to the States.
Good luck to all of you and even more patience !

Welcome to our 8000th member "vatsa" ...Friends we are only 20% away from target. At least if you cannot make contribution in terms of $$$'s please at least add members and take it to the finish line....
Another suggestion is to use Orkut.... use your orkut network, join communities on Orkut which you may feel can have potential members and send a message to the whole community.

My I140 is approved and now I am filing the I 485/765/131 together based on new developments. Now that all dates are current, are they going to process the application based on July filing date or based on Priority date(labor).
Can please someone confirm that. My attorney says its based on priority date but I just called USCIS information desk and they said that its based on 485 application date.
Thank you
