I think you should probably have your surgery instead.
I don't see the point in dissuading people like this. This is an example of someone who was able to adjust an important appointment because he thought that it was equally important for him to be at the rally to show his support. Ofcourse there are some things that one cannot adjust, but is it really true of everyone?

I have been a trader for thr last 3 years. I am more of a swing trader than a day trader... But I do a lot of day trading too. I believe trading is the only way to make money in the stock market... Everything that the mainstream media tells about long term investing is baloney... Here is an excellent video about market manipulation by Jim Cramer (For the recrd, I hate the guy and he gives very bad advises... but then he just an entertainer):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMShFx5rThI
Chintu has started an excellent topic here... It does require tremendous amount of discipline, patience and hard work and its definitely not for the faint hearted... Chintu is covering lots of things here, but the on;y thing I would like to add is learning about macro economics... that will help you spot major trends in the market... Also, apart from regular stocks there are double and triple long and inverse etfs... For eg FAS and FAZ... These are triple long and short etfs for the financial sector. These are leveraged three times, which means these are on full dose of steroids... If market goes up 10% these go up 30% and vice versa... so you can make or lose a lot of money in a very short time... Happy trading!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD EVENING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

These are the issues and examples we discussed. Although the following presents a lot of issues, I emphasized repeatedly that the GC recapture was the first priority.
Immigration Issues:
Obama wants high-paying, high-skill jobs in future – AP March 26, 2009
Obama said job creation in America is difficult in a time of economic hardship and that the work of the future should be in more high-paying, high-skill areas like clean energy technology.
Why Skilled Immigrants Are Leaving the U.S. – Business Week March 3, 2009
Earlier research by my team suggested that a crisis was brewing because of a burgeoning immigration backlog. At the end of 2006, more than 1 million skilled professionals (engineers, scientists, doctors, researchers) and their families were in line for a yearly allotment of only 120,000 permanent resident visas. The wait time for some people ran longer than a decade. In the meantime, these workers were trapped in "immigration limbo." If they changed jobs or even took a promotion, they risked being pushed to the back of the permanent residency queue. We predicted that skilled foreign workers would increasingly get fed up and return to countries like India and China where the economies were booming.
Why should we care? Because immigrants are critical to the country's long-term economic health. Despite the fact that they constitute only 12% of the U.S. population, immigrants have started 52% of Silicon Valley's technology companies and contributed to more than 25% of our global patents. They make up 24% of the U.S. science and engineering workforce holding bachelor's degrees and 47% of science and engineering workers who have PhDs. Immigrants have co-founded firms such as Google (NasdaqGS:GOOG - News), Intel (NasdaqGS:INTC - News), eBay (NasdaqGS:EBAY - News), and Yahoo! (NasdaqGS:YHOO - News).
Educated people leaving the US – Why?
More opportunities overseas
Economic disincentives – spouses and dependents prohibited from working
Institutionalized discrimination – hate groups like FAIR are given voice in congress (i.e. stimulus)
Extremely onerous bureaucracy – 10 years in US and no path to permanent residency (professionals, bankers, educators)
Indentured service
– workers cannot leave employer without facing deportation or illegal status
– including professionals
– employer holds too much power
– employees cannot complain or quit
– dependents must work illegally or leave the country to work
When people change jobs they often have to restart the process again from the beginning.
Solutions:
Canada example:
Permanent residency point system – points awarded for
- years legal residency (student, worker)
- family members in US
- education (more points for certain fields of study)
- proficiency in official language
- skill in high demand fields (petroleum engineers, medical doctors)
Work visas for dependents –
Eliminate restrictions on family members from working
Dependents of professionals are usually educated
Contribute more to US economy (example: work as substitute teacher)
Pay more taxes
Example of a skilled dependent who is not able to work.
“My family moved to the US in 2002. Before that, I and my wife were working in Malaysia. My wife has two Masters Degrees in Science. Once we moved in, I have been trying to get GC. All this time, my wife has been in H4. She has tried her best but could not land a job with H1 sponsorship as no company in her field that she tried is familiar with H1 process. All these years, she has been highly stressed due to this. People may think she must have known this before coming in. But, at that time, the average GC wait was 2 years.”
Other benefits of immigration reform to US economy
Stop reverse brain drain – US universities educate people who are often FORCED to take their skills out of the country
Support housing market – many immigrants hesitate to buy a house because of their uncertain status, but skilled immigrants tend to have healthy incomes that support home ownership.
Scrap diversity visa lottery
– does not attract skilled people
– Already have country limits for green cards
Why bring more people to US and then force people who are already here and have shown a dedication to the US to leave?
To prevent employers from abusing workers: Allow people who have work visas to change jobs without having to reapply for a new visa (up to the original expiration date) and restart green card process.
Bureaucratic Issues
Backlogs in processing going back as far as 7 years or more: some have suggested that they would rather be denied a visa than wait so long. That way they can at least plan for the future.
Immigrants from most countries need to leave the US to get their visa stamped even when their visa has been approved and they are already legally in the U.S. The reason for this is unclear, but it causes economic hardship to immigrants who are delayed and risk losing their jobs.
Every year visas are unclaimed, often because of processing delays. Employment based immigrants have been asking for these unclaimed visas to be reissued to people who have been waiting years for their applications to be processed. The issue is reducing processing time, and they see visa recapture as a way to reduce the backlog.
Many immigrants have complained about the long time processing their applications for a green card. They would like to see automatic qualification for professionals who have lived in the US for a certain period of time (5 or 6 years).
Clearing the GC backlog and making it easier for skilled professionals to get permanent residency will encourage investment in US whether in the form of buying a house or setting up a business etc, because it allows immigrants to plan for the future.
Having no time limit for processing applications is inefficient and does not ensure accountability. Business projects and other processes need time frames to ensure they remain on track and that employees are productive. Government agencies need to be held to the same standards.
Applicants need to be able to access information about their status, which should have clear timelines for each step and show clearly where they are in the process. This is the only way they can plan effectively for the future.
Many people who have been in the US legally for more than 10 years but can’t get permanent residency. They are eligible for SS, but may be forced to leave the US with their US savings, assets and SS benefits. These people would like consideration of a fast track application.

for your kind words about my response. truth of the matter is, i was pretty upset and seething in anger for a good part of saturday. finally i decided it was better to "lose" this contact for good, than put up with the outright insult. we have nothing to be afraid, ashamed or apologetic about our cause.
thanks again for your kind words. i did get a positive reply from a dean at my alma mater, a leading pvt university, that fully supports these positions. possibly an indication that we should be reaching out to US university deans to get their active support?
please feel free to edit / copy+paste both the chain email and the racism-response ... to meet any of your respective outreach needs
also, we have almost as many folks that have not called as those that did. why? oh why? just pick up the phone and leave at least 1 VM today!

I guess it is not going to move any further.
There are more than enough applications waiting to be approved than the visa number available for ROW this year. It will move backwards to 2004 date in October when visa number for 2009 will be available.
Remember, PERM started in March of 2005, and there are floods of LCs with PD > March' 2005. It will take 2/3 years before it can move beyond 2005.
Does anyone can predict what will be the cut-off date for EB-3 ROW during the months July to September ? Will it proceed, stop moving or even it could be retrogressed ? what will be the OCT 2008 cut-off date ?
Thanks

i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.
This is just unbelievable nitpicking. Completely unproductive.
A "grassroots" organization like IV is what its members come to the table with - making it fun etc. is also dependent on the members - not some specific, designated individuals.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.

Hi
I am living in Toronto/Canada.My Labor and I-140 is approved.My PD is current, so I can file I-485.I would like to know that, how long will take time to I come to USA and what else needs to be done?I appreciate if anyone help me in this matter.
Thank you:)
You cannot file for I-485. You can file I-485 only if you are present in United States. Since, you are living in Toronto, Canada, you have to appear for consular visa processing. This process is different than the process (I-485) for people who are on temporary visas in US and their PD has become current.

Use the following as a template to send all your contacts via email!!!!
*not a chain mail. a genuine request to be part of a democratic US bill-making movement* call YOUR Senator and at least one from the list below *
i am writing to you with a rather 'unusual request'. thousands of high skilled legal immigrants (especially from India and China) are stuck for between 5 to 10 years in the 'Green Card' queue with no 'end in sight' due to a broken system. previous attempts by groups like Compete America (www.competeamerica.org (http://www.competeamerica.org)) and Immigration Voice (www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) have been rebuffed by powerful lobbies and special interests.
if you are able to help, know that thousands will thank you. if you are uncomfortable, i will fully understand and seek your forgiveness for this intrusion.
if you know someone that will benefit from legal immigration reform (e.g. graduate students, etc.), do pass this message along. again, this is NOT a fake chain mail. check out www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org) to see how those forgotten in the immigration queue are trying their best to make their voices heard.
at a minimum, take a few minutes to see these colorful posters that highlight the issues at stake!

if you can do more, please call your Senator and at least one from the list below with the scripted message:
currently, Rep. Zoe Lofgren from California, has introduced a couple of bills that can provide temporary relief to thousands of tax paying high skilled workers.
HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits
H.R. 5882 introduced to restore approximately 218,000 unused EB visa numbers.
HR 6039 introduced to exempt STEM degree applicants from numerical limits
In addition, the Murray amendment was accepted in Senate Appropriations Committee by voice vote today.
"OK, enough of that mumbo jumbo" I hear you say :), "what can I do?"
Tell them that you would like to talk to some one who handles immigration/legal matters, If forwarded to voice mail, leave a VM. If the VM is full, you can get back to the main line by pressing 0 and then leave a message with them.
The message you have to deliver when calling these offices is
I would like Representative "Representative Name" to co sponsor bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 sponsored by Zoe Lofgren. All three bills have wide bipartisan support in the house and will help reduce the back logs associated with USCIS. These bills are a great first step towards immigration reform.
DO NOT GET INTO THE LEGAL/ILLEGAL DISCUSSION WITH STAFF MEMBERS
Only if the staff member bring up the issue of CIR, in that case say that -
In the past we have been supporting Comprehensive approach and still continue to support comprehensive approach and we look for our our main issues to be addressed whenever comprehensive bill is passed. However, this is is just an interim fix to begin or start the immigration reform process.

SIMPLY PUT -- please consider taking a few minutes to call at least one of the above lawmakers' offices with the above 'scripted' message. I am not a script-driven person, but the dynamics of law making dictates that simple messages about support for a Bill go a long way towards helping lawmakers form their opinion. This is DEMOCRACY and CIVICS in action :).
Will you take a few moments to do your bit to help thousands of hard working professionals and their families? In 1 day, Rep Cueller from Texas has signed on as a co-sponsor after receiving numerous calls.
Steve Ballmer, Safra Catz, Craig Barrett, Carly Fiorina, Scott McNealy, Charles Vest and others all came together for... what?http://www.competeamerica.org/hill/letter_congress/index.html
we get tons of spam a day. lets take a few moments to help those that join us in contributing to the US economy through their hard work, taxes and social security contribution. of course, they spend hard earned $$$'s on wall st and main st. lets help them help us all.

I just contributed $200.00.
I am in new job and mid of negotiating with blood sucker desi employer not to revoke i140. I can not attend the advocacy days.
Anyway like Eb3retro I also lost my interest so changed job. Profile don't meet much with what written in i140, so who cares if GC rejected I will be heading to India.
Good Luck for all your efforts!

I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".

No. It was changed in the middle of 2008. The DOS consulted with the Congress on this and came to the conclusion that there should be horizontal spillover before vertical. I don't want to go into whether this was right or wrong, fair or not. This is the current policy.
You can see ample evidence in the annual visa allocation once you compare 2005/2006/2007/2008 allocations. EB3-ROW and EB3-ICMP benefited till 2007 because of vertical spillover and EB2-I & EB2-C have been the beneficiaries of the horizontal spillover policy since 2008.
Thanks. I also do not want to drag us into that direction. Just for the sake of my satisfaction, may I ask to you or anybody here to put any link/doc for any memo or other USCIS doc which states this?

my ead application co-ordinates are exactly same as you. yesterday, got card production email.
Efiled on May 21st for myself and my wife. July 31st there are LUDs on 765 and 485s. but no approvals yet.
Guys pls let me know about the infopass status. Called the Customer service and they wanted me to go ahead apply for Interim EAD at the Local center by taking the Infopass. I believe they just read the instructions on the 765 application. My EAD expires on 17th
