Thanks - i am not changing the company/job after I file I-485 and after i move from CA to TX.
Did Address Change work for anyone after I-485 is filed and state to state move?
my lawyer/para-legal said it is bit risky but possible.
Any feedback and thoughts?

I am happy to report that within the first 4 days of this campaign we have already hit a potential fundraising total of $3,500!!!
We need to keep this campaign moving forward, we need IVians to support this cause! Our goal by end of Year 1 is $45,000!!! We need your support to make this initiative a success.
Lets get IV's name out on the national stage by showing our presence at these events. Imagine the impact we will have when they see Team IV walker/runners in Immigration Voice T Shirts at the finish line of all the three walking/running events we have picked and at several other local events as well.
Go IV, Go Team IV!!:)

Total Contribution so far: $225
I will sign up for $50/month today by 9PM central..
I have pursuaded people ("friends") to join and contribute but all they say is I will .. never seen one do it .. ashamed of 'em ...I dont really understand why people are so hesitant to contribute. We need a group effort my 50 dollars a month will achieve nothing unless lot of people do the same.
I contribute for my benifit you do it for yours.

Why can't you search for preapproved labor to file I485 quickly?
It is indeed unfair to the people whose applications are struck in BEC forever. The people who are still stuck in BEC are the very first ones to enter the queue. The BECS are now processing oldest cases now.
My guess is dates are going to move back by september any way and the probability of one getting GC who files in next month before the dates move back is very low.
Most of us here have to get ready for 5 or 6 years on EAD any way.

I have signed up for $20 recurring payment.
Would it be possible to make the site allow posts only by paid members, everyone else is allowed to view. And/or allow viewing/posting only a specific number of pages and after that you have to be a paid member.

For a full participation, I would recommend a red-eye on Tuesday or at least a flight after 9pm est.
Tuesday evening would be a Congressional Reception. After that we would have an IV meeting with members to discuss IV next steps etc. So keep departure flights to be late Tuesday night or after. I would highly recommend being in the Congressional Reception. You will get to meet several staffers and lawmakers here and talk to them.

I think a lawsuit on this would be appropriate.
Is IV considering that on our behalf ? I would be willing to donate money for this specific purpose, if this is started.
I also hate loosing SS Taxes. I mean we dont have any
security in this country. We get 60 days to pack up if we loose our jobs and then they collect SS taxes from us. This is insane and a gross abuse of people on H1B. I think we are equally to blame to continue taking the abuse as the abusers. I fully support the clause that Green Card/Naturalization is a priveldge and not a right, but robbing me out of my money is not. I do support filing a lawsuit against this fully. I am sure if we pull one years worth of our SS taxes, then we can pay for this suit. We might win or loose but least we will have peace of mind that we faught for the right cause.

If you don't get with in 30 days , you should contact USCIS or ask IV to help. Pappu already created thread if any one not getting approval and are long time donor should contact IV so they can dedicate resource.
Thank you for your stupid and negative response. Mr. Pappu is helping only Donars.. I am not a Donar.

We took both of them to the doctor and the doctors treatment some how is working for only one... even if u change the doctor same thing..
Be it EB2 India or EB3 India or EB2 China or any other category. All of us are suffering. Some of us more than others.
But... as much as you like it their will not be a EB3-I only bill or admin fix.
Only thing which will fix the issue is EB reforms (more visa, elimination of country limits, STEM expemtions etc) which IV is fighting for.
IV is not your partent. All of us combined make IV. If you are affected more then show by acting accordingly.
Lobby now, meet your representatives now so that come March next year when CIR may be discussed our provisions are not only included but also have a solid backing.
If we do not do our share or work now, we will be disappointed when CIR or any other immi bill come up.
Show your commitment by contributing to IV. Meet law makers.

What form does your brokerage firm send you at the end of the year? Is it a 1099-INT form that records your profits for the year? What if it were a loss. Do you still get a 1099-INT.
An H1B working for a single employer will have only one W-2 but he / she may have different 1099-INTs from savings accounts / trading firms etc for filing taxes. This should be ok, correct?
Investments are not reflected on W2. If you use a broker such as TDAmeritrade etc they will issue you a 1099
You will receive an IRS Consolidated Form 1099 - an all-inclusive document showing your reportable income and transactions for the entire tax year - if your brokerage account received at least $10 in either dividends, interest or original issue discount (OID) income, or had an equity sale, in the 2008 tax year.
- You will not receive a Consolidated Form 1099 for a retirement account, tax-exempt account, corporate account or foreign account.
- In addition, you may receive a corrected Consolidated Form 1099 if you held an investment trust that reclassified income after this form was sent to you.
There are 2 sets of rates.
1. Short Term Captial Gains
2. Long Term Capital Gains Taxes
Short term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held less than one year before selling.
Long time term capital gains taxes are on stocks that have been held more than one year before selling.
Long term capital gains taxes are less than short term capital gains taxes.
If you don't sell the stock, there is no tax on the capital gains.
The amount of tax depends your tax bracket.
The taxes on dividends are usually less than short term capital gains tax. So if you have a stock that is about to pay a dividend, get the dividend before selling, as that will reduce your capital gains.
Hope this helps

It might have been answered before elsewhere, but I'm wondering about the logic on how the spillover visas are allocated. Would have been nice if the spillover visas are allocated to oversubscribed countries instead of categories, this way 10k spillover visas that EB2-I is getting now will be distributed equally between EB2 and EB3 ... I believe that's one thing IV is going to or has taken up.
Looks like parents did a good job of taking both the sick kids to hospital, but the doctor treated only one kid saying that the second untreated kid is not good as the one getting the treatment :D ... if the 2nd kid survives thru the period of time the 1st kid recovers without any treatment, then the 2nd kid will get the treatment.
LOL, why am I extending the topic ...
I for one would like to know exactly what IV is planning to take up for the cause of EB3 before contributing.
Good and very valid logic....
I am also EB3 (waiting for 6 years now) but I totally disagree that IV is baised against EB3 or favoured EB2 in anyway, we are not heard as fault is ours. We we want something for us to be done then our actions shold speak for all of us just not me or you). Either we put up a fight for our cause (there are chances we will loose) or just submit to our doomed fate. The choice is ours gentleman. I don't think we have tried enough to finally call it quits.

Thank you Chanduv23 for your participation in the advocacy efforts. It is heartening to see that members who have received green cards take the active role of advocating for changes that their fellow immigrant friends are not yet out of.
We have shantanup, vin13, and chanduv23 - all received GCs last year - all three have participated in the advocacy efforts in the past - and here they are again! Thank you.
This should inspire members who are still waiting to get their GCs to be in DC.

Well it is worse than you thought.
People who haven't even started their green card process yet can buy a labor from any bodyshop, use it to file their 140 and 485 concurrently and get a foothold in the great american GC mela. Howzaat.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
