Immigration Voice have shown to the immigration community what they can do. Let's look at what Immigration Voice have done so far.
1. Hiring Strategic counsel (One of the top notch companies in DC.)
2. Spending money wisely so that all the members have the best ROI.
3. Convincing senators to bring amendments to the SJC immigration reform bill.
4. Membership going up consistently.
5. Endorsement from successful Immigration lawyers in US.
6. Media coverage (Roll call article, NBC interview)
7. Thorough analysis of immigration related bills, laws and provisions.
8. Immigration Voice members trust.
I don't think there is any thing left. What else do we want. Contributing $200 or more is nothing if you compare the pain that you take while waiting for the GC. Ask yourself what is important. The pain or contributing $200 or more to Immigration Voice.

I totally agree everbody. ICICI bank all time sucks. I have account with them for 5 yrs. and everytime I do transfer money to India (FYI I do Wire Trasnfer On Monday morning US CST only should be credited in 1 business day, expected that the money will be credited by Tuesday IST ICICI Business time). What happens eveytime they will credit after 5 business days and provided with lowest Exchange rate.
hmm, As an Iranian citizen, I cannot do this (transfer money to Iran) anymore. When I used to live in Canada, and before all this Nuke fiasco, I could do this, and the way I got away with losing minimum amount of money was that I asked my bank to transfer, say, 2k in US$ to Iranian bank to be held until my dad went to collect it. He got $2000, with no subtraction, rate conversion or anything. He could sell it to the money exchange shops at the rate of the day. You should try doing that (Send US funds, instead of doing the send & exchange through the bank which has a vested interest in this...)

Came to USA on H1B, paid for the H1B fees(at that time didn't know it was illegal to do so)
however after coming here , Paid for my own ticket and landed here on start of january 2011.
Confirmed my arrival to the employer too. Since my leaving the home country there has not been any mail correspondence from the employer , though i have been writing many. Talked to him over the phone and he said he wasn't responsible for my arrival as he doesn't have any project for me. Waited to get another job as a H1B TXFR but stuck with trnsfrs issues due to non availablity of paystubs from him.
I never reported to work as he said dont come to office, dont have any paystubs, but have all my H1B papers , I97 and Employment offer from that consultant. I have decided to leave back to my home country but not before reporting this blood sucker to DOL.
I need to clarify a few things before i nail these blood suckers
1. How long before i board my flight back home , should i send the documents to DOL
2. I have the originals of H1B filing and LCA and I94, are they rquired in originals
or copy to send to DOL
3. What other documents should i send alongwith
4. Do you think my case will get weaker if iam not here ? As i am flying back to my home country.
5. I dont want these suckers to go scott free, so how to build my case here , can i ask the DOL to recover my wages for 4 months i wasnt getting paid.
I do not care if i get any wages or not from them , but i really wanna see the locks on the gates of this company. They shouldn't take H1B and its applicant for scapegoats.
Any advices are welcome to help me bring these guys to justice.
It seems like you are at fault here...why did you come here without your employer calling you. There is no strong case...what wages you are talking about when you were not reported to work.

Friends, any thoughts on the below questions..
Raj, Thanks for the reply. I am still looking out for the bride which is the reason it may take about a year or so.. So no chance of civil ceremony in a months time.
I have few more questions..
1) What does it really mean by withdrawing the I-485 ? Does it mean you withdraw only the 485 application and can reapply (just 485) it later when you are ready (when its current) ? Or does it mean the full GC process is cancelled, which means you have to start with your labor again at later point of time?
2) What are the real benefits of applying now for I-485 in my scenario? If I get married after the 485 is filed, it sounds like I am forced to anyway maintain my H1B till I get my spouse on H4. Also to apply for my spouse�s 485, my PD must be current at the time of filing. If not, then again I am forced to maintain my H1B till the dates become current.
Just to summarize, it sounds like I have to anyway maintain my H1B till I apply for my spouse�s 485.
So far, does it sound correct ? If not, please correct me..
If the above is correct, why not I apply for 485 after I get married ? Is that a bad idea ? I know I could save about 6 months to an year (may be more in some cases) if I apply before the marriage, but then I am taking the risk of getting approved 485 before my marriage.
Any thoughts?

Can you please give a back ground of yours before talking about others ? Are you CEO of some company ?
Is that a mandatory criterion to express an opinion? If so, then you should have obliged to it first. Simple. :)
First learn to complete your profile ...look at the 485 mailing and receive dates ..
Maybe he doesn't give a shit about the profile. What's your point?

I would stay away from this guy. He hates all immigrants; he supports the legal ones when he wants to bash the illegals. He is on FOX everyday.
He hates Illegals and not legal immigrants. I almost have heard him everyday going back home from work and all the time I have heard him saying there are people who legallly coming here for work that he supports. He always has been against "Amnesty" to Illegal Immigrants.
It may be worth a try. Its up to you seniors if you feel its not worth it.

Yes I agree with you legal immigration is not only EB category, but EB+spouse+child category is the largest when we say Legal Immigration, plus questions are posed by Engineers & Doctors and that automatically tells the person who is reading that it is about EB category. But you are welcome to form your questions and post and we will make sure that that becomes popular. If you see the situation from where I am standing the glass is half full my friend!
Hope things are going well with you, your research and wisdom is always appriciated.

Employment based immigration is a very small part of legal immigration.
Here is a break down of legal immigration #s for 2006 according to Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, published by Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) (available at Spotlight on Legal Immigration to the United States (http://www.migrationinformation.org/USfocus/display.cfm?id=651) By Gretchen Reinemeyer and Jeanne Batalova | Migration Policy Institute, November 2007).
1,266,264 immigrants were granted legal residence in 2006.
159,081 immigrants who received green cards through sponsorship from their US employers accounted for 12.6% of all legal permanent residents.
However, 87,702 (or 55.1%) of the employment-sponsored immigrants were spouses and children of principal applicants.
The share of employment-preference immigrants has varied between 3.3 percent (59,525) in 1991 and 22 percent (246,878) in 2005.
The other categories are family preference (802,712), refugee + asylee (216,454), Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 + parolees (43,546) and Diversity Lottery (44,471).
Employment based immigration is legal. However, it may help to add legal to the title.
Employment based immigration is skilled. I think employment based immigration includes cooks, priests, .... They consider themselves to be skilled just like everyone else!
If you just ask for improving legal immigration, they will improve family based or asylum.
As some persons learnt yesterday, legal immigration has very low priority as compared to undocumented. Similarly, employment based immigration has no priority in legal immigration!
Hope things are going well with you, your research and wisdom is always appriciated.

Jesus! That looks sooo risky. Yes indeed my PD is May 06. Now the question is what if (I know a big IF), but what if, I apply for my 485 (hoping that my 485 will be on EAD/AP for a long time) BUT my 485 gets approved rather quickly and I am not able to marry before that happens -- do I have *any* way to tackle that issue? Or would it then mean that my wife cannot come in US for n number of years after marriage?!
Jesus Christ! Does anything happen without a twist?! :)
Lol... looks like then you have to marry an american gori/gora or ABCD. :D Hopefully you will find a partner in india and get married before 485 gets approved

Thank you for your elaboration.
How do you know that all the unused visas go to EB3 before go to EB2?
That is the way the USCIS is interpreting the laws and actually doing it that way...There are two different caps applied to you....The EB2 cap of wharever numbers available and the country cap of 7% for all of china EB+FB combined together.......It is true that there are more EB2 numbers available...But as the country quota for CHINA/India is over they are flowing to EB3 ROW instead of flowing horizontally to EB2 china....There is a big discussion about how this flow occurs and if it is fair or not...The title of that thread is 'Unused visas' Reading that would be helpful to you...
Even if the immigration reform happens, will it take effect next year or sometime later?
Frankly donot know....Last year when they passed 2611 they had put conditions in it to delay the implementation..They can put delay again...That is possible....
How come my PD can become current immediately once the immigration reform happens?
The total number of visa available would increase with the immigration reform...There would be enough unused so that you would get some...
thanks1

First of all note that the original post was alomst year and a half old so dont go by the ideas there now :D
In commodity markets you trade futures and spot. Spot means immidate delivery of the under lying commodity. In futures you pay today for delivery at a future date. So typically the price of the future will be the price of spot + the storage charge (simple calculation to give you an idea considering no premiums). As the day of delivery approaches the price will pull to spot price. For example if west texas intermediate (WTI) crude is $92 spot price the 3 month future will be $100. (92+8 for storage). Considering that the spot price does not change at all, in three months time the price of the oil you will now be purchasing will be $92, but you paid $100 for it. This is backwardation. This is usually how markets are most of the time.
Now if in 3 months the price of WTI is trading at $110, you will own oil you paid $100 for and now can turn around and sell for $110. This is contango.
When you buy a commodity ETF, they dont take actual delivery of the product, they roll their contarcts. So they will hold a 3 month contarct and when the third month approaches they sell the contarct and get another 3 month contaract. If market is in backwardation then they will always be buying high and selling low. If market is in contango they will make money but as soon as it switches back to backwardation they will ride down the slide and loose all the money they made. So I dont think ETF's are agood way of making money in commodities passively. You can actively manage the ETF portfolio and make money using options and hedges and leveraged ETF's. But buy and hold, I suggest go and invest with a CTA who will be trading rule based to negate the effects of contango and backwardation.
Hope this is simple enough:)
Thanks smisachu. that was informative. FYI right now I am double shorting crude oil - with everyone calling higher crude oil prices in future, I may be in for a loss here... but willing to hold till I get break even :-)

Incorrect. There are LOT of differences.
1. Visa free travel to many countries
2. No need to maintain GC status, even if I spend >1 year out of US
3. Can work on jobs that require Security Clearance
4. Can sponsor GC for Parents/Siblings
5. Be part of School PTA
>> So you gonna start some company? I could give you some tips
Thanks for your offer, but it is little late. :D I already have a company. Just because I never mentioned it (Like you did), you assumed that I don't have a company. Tip - Never assume anything. In case of doubt, please ask first.
Have a good day!

Here are my case details as well.
Came to US in Aug 1999 on F-1 after B.Tech. Graduated with MS (Telecom) in Dec 2000. Joined a major telecom firm immediately after graduation. My first EB-3 labor was filed in Dec 2001 (Non-RIR) but employer withdrew it because of lay-offs. Employer filed again in Nov'03 (Non-RIR again) and it was approved in March 2007 (after RIR conversion in Jan 2007) by Dallas BEC, followed by I-140 approval (March 2007) and I-485 filing in July 2007. Though my job required a MS degree, my employer could not file in EB-2 as there were people in my team with just Bachelors degree when they joined the company 10-15 yrs ago and lawyer did not advise employer to file in EB-2 as EB-3 was current those days......After surviving 12 rounds of lay-offs, no job security whatsoever throughout and fed up with EB3 process, I changed jobs after 8.5 yrs (July 2009) and my new job required a minimum of MS + 6 yrs of experience and fortunately my new employer (another large company) had no issues re-starting the process again. I work in Mobile Communications R&D (developing networks which support smart phones (2G/3G and now 4G-LTE technology) have been in this field since Jan 2001) and here are my EB-2 case details:
Joined new employer in July 2009
PERM Prep work took 6 months
EB2 PERM filed: March 30th, 2010 (MS + 6 yrs or BS + 8 yrs as min requirements)
EB2 PERM approved: Aug 11th, 2010
EB2 I-140 filed: Aug 27th, 2010 (Premium Processing, EB3 I-140 approval copy enclosed with request to Port EB3 PD)
EB2 I-140 and I-485 approved concurrently on Sep 3rd, 2010
Cards received Sep 7th, 2010
Hope this helps.
Truly borderline EB1. Congrats!

Agree with macaca, It is not fair to expect a member to contribute the moment s/he joins.
Suggestion: IV membership should be free for the first 3 months, after which there should be a minimum $20/per month to keep your membership and log in.
Also at that time a member needs to update his/her profile to include contact information. This way we encourage new people to come study the issues, gain trust with IV and IV gets real people with real names that can be contacted if and when there is a need for mass-campaign.

Understood. Now you want all H1 L1 B1 everything to be stopped. So lets vote only for EAD/AP/GC till you get your GC. After that US should stop GC also, right? (but ofcourse, naturalization still should remain open for a few more years).
If one person can work for your job at $8/hr, and you are charging $100/hr, market would adjust itself to $8/hr (for a moment forget about who does this $8/hr, it can be a high-school kid, or anybody).The only reason why somebody blames that $8/hr kid for loosing his job is because he "thinks" he is "superior" to that kid. There are many situations where companies decide to retain "fresh college grads" and layoff "senior experienced" persons, to save money.
Don't take me wrong, but I also think the L1 is mis-used a bit. But I personally think the mis-usage comes from other factors (like H1 unavailability, employer prefer L1 because employee cannot change to another employer in L1, other H1 restrictions) etc..
.....I wish this bill passes with full effect

Can someone work for company A (with green card pending for 8 years) and start green card process thru other company to port to EB2(part time employment). Can they do that. I mean basically working for two companies until you get your green card, then quit company B and continue working for company A. Did anyone do this? Is this a possible scenario?
