Hi,
I have contributed a few hundred dollars in the past to IV. I am not in a position to do it now. But, will do again in the future.
My question is, will my previous donations entitle me a DONOR status?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Thanks fr your support to Immigration voice
In order for us to encourage people to contrbute we started the donor system. We are encouraging people to contribute 25 dollar per month to subscribe. If they pay more say- 100, then it will give them subscription for 4 months.
we have just started this system and hope to fine tune and improve and also provide more services to all our members.
We are trying not to include past contributions because it will get tough for us to get future contributions that we can invest in IV for all future and current initiatives.
fyi -from my PM

I am trying to get a seat. Can some one else also try to reserve some seats may be a table, ( Money will be divided by the attendees).We would be able to put across the issues of " Unused Visa" and " h1b Increase" and about solving the issues of GC backlog. Ping me a pvt message. We all can meet and discuss , on how to go ahead. Let's meet together before meeting Cornyn.
I'm from OH but visiting Austin TX from 1st to 8th August.
Unfortunately i cannot attend function but i would love to meet up with IV folks in Austin / Round Rock during this time and I would also be ok to fund someone else's seat at the dinner if it helps the cause.
it doesnt seem like a lot of money - why dont we get people to fund an entire table (much more chance of getting some attention)

greatguy, you sound like a great guy. But honestly the idea isn't too great...especially nowadays with such much immigration scrutiny, tightening of regulations, deportations, etc. A five year old labor sub, that too unapproved, isn't going to be approved easily...maybe you should file a PERM based petition and get that approved in a month or two and that way atleast you secure a 2006 PD. If some relief comes in, you're wait shouldn't be too long...

Hi Horscorp,
It is possible to transfer the H1 with validity to 30-Sep-2011 as long as the PERM is active. However, once approved, the PERM will "expire" if no I-140 is filed within 180 days, and eligibility for further one year extensions would end. Similarly, if the employer withdraws the PERM or if it is denied and no appeal is taken further extensions based on that PERM would not be granted.

Guys!! I have no idea what can bring sense to all of us and unify our voice. America is not our " Fathers or In -Laws " house to give or grant what we want. There is a reason behind why STEM has been established...because there is a shortage for highly skilled and intellectual people. They dont need any software engineers because the golden period of 90s for tech boom is done....now the boom is in BANGALORE!!! So guys jobs have been outsourced and there is no big demand for the techies...and we all know it..DONT WE??? Coming to MBA's i have mentioned this in my earlier post too, there are so many MBAs already here and nstead of mindlessly saying we want MBA's included or we should get EADs for H4 or the next Pope should be an H1B waiting for GC!!!
We should concentrate on efficency of USCIS, increasing the number of Visas rather than adding clauses based on our whims and fancies. America needs Engineers, Scientists, Mathematicians, Biologists, Professors who will bring about innovation and be involved in research because thats what drives a country. What can we techies contribute other than programming which by the way people in INDIA are doing for less if not any better.
Just by paying taxes we cant call what they are doing is unjust against human rights ...etc How many of us tried to write or call our own Netas in India against corruption or any other slight problem.When we didnt exercise our right there...this country is not even ours how can we expect them to show pity on us and include the clauses we want. We have to our earn the rights to get permanent residency and for that if one has to get a Masters Degree maybe thats the price.
A lot of Students come to America on F1 by spending on an average $15000 t0 $20000K and sometimes more and after the downturn when there were no jobs some of these students even paid for a second masters and even Phds without aid when we in california raked in sign in bonuses and all other moolah. Maybe this is the pay back time for people with advanced degrees and lets all accept it gracefully. I know each of us want to continue to live the good old American dream but although the truth is bitter lets be rational with our demands and work towards an educated goal.

I live in northern california and has written letters to congressman, first lady but not response.
Northern Cal is arguably the best district to file Wom. You can give it try. What is the USCIS response?

If Sens' was brighter and I could see more, I think I would have picked it cause it was closer up and had more detail. I couldnt even see cyber's - the link was dead?

My wifes AP also approved today. The case had a LUD on 15th but the case was not approved on that day. I had sent a fax to 402-219-6171 with my travel Itinerary on 16th and there was a LUD on 16th. And on 17 they approved the application.
I had a infopass appointment on 16th and the immigration officer gave me the fax number. He was telling me that another person had came to expedite the application and he got approval after sending the fax.

Does this logic hold good for i-140 processing as well? My 140 went through the NSC-CSC-NSC route and I really hope it's processed based on NSC timelines!!
Edit: Wait a minute, 140 times are not even listed in CSC processing times (https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=CSC)

Do you still have the I 94 which came with I 797A ?? if have that just give that i 94
Thanks
Yes I believe that the I797 should have the latest I94 also try going to the nearest international airport or the one you are travelling from, the customs and immigration there may be able to help, they do issue replacement I94's. I have had this done once for my wife we had to get a correction done on the date as the IO's handwriting was not clear its a quick process. Make sure that you staple both I94's and surrender both of them. Even without the I94 you will be allowed to board the flight, the airline staff just detach it if there is one on your passport.

[quote=Britsabroad;56879]Hey Ed - I chickened out on the Abes deal after reading the reviews - sounds like they make you work hard for your discount. If you went for it, let me know the outcome.
I read quite a few reviews beforehand... All over the board, I am happy to say my experience was fine.
Here is how the purchase went...
They called before sending it out, asked if I was interested in a battery and mentioned about purchasing the extended warranty. I told them that I may be interested in the warranty however I will read the information on line and call them back. I was sure to call back, I did not want to delay the order... I declined the extended warranty, since the one offered was not Nikon's. He did ask why and mentioned "everyone" gets it. That was the extent of the warranty discussion.
After looking over the site, they also have an extended warranty through Nikon (2 year) That can be purchased before a 10 days lapse of owning the camera.

Hello Folks
I had valid stamp till 2011 but at POE I was given H1b till Nov 2010. My lawer told me that person at POE may have made mistake. My old stamp has validity Nov 2007. So he may have overlooked and give me 3 years stay based on that stamp. ( US consulate didont put dark stamp ( Cancelled without prejuidice ) . It was just marked with pen.
Now my 6th year will expire in Nov 2011. I have I 140 approved. so when I apply for H1b ext in Nov 2010 will I get 3 years or just till Nov 2011 and then again new extention for 3 years ?

Sorry to hear that. That was really sad. Any ways past is past. Do the following.
1. Re-file I-140 if the denial was based on EB category with a higher one(Meaning EB2 got denied file under EB3)
2. Renew your H1-B with your labor approval and your new I-140 application. Don't mention anything about your current I-140 denial.
your EAD would get invalidated when your I-485 gets denied, I am just assuming because EAD is based on I-485. But I-485 needs a approved I-140 so connect the strings yourself. Now you can sense that there is some gray area here. Better get advice from a good attorney.
Your AP use should all be fine. You need to take these actions 1 and 2 immediately without delay.
On appealing for I-140, what you heard is right. My appeal failed as well. My case was they where not accepting mine under EB2 but they did under EB3. That was a silly mistake by my lawyer stating required experience as 3 years with BS instead of 5 years! I had 6 years exp with MS equivalent degree from India.
PS: Do you mind sharing the I-140 denial reason, that might help people address your situation more clearly.
Good luck. Don't lose your heart, you should be back on track in no time.
Cheers
Raj

time is running out...looks like they will keep on playing this game till the elections...unless the media kicks in and starts painting the negative picture about the plight of employment based immigration. currently its only is dominant in newspapers etc. the visual media is still dominated by likes of Dobbs.
one thing what we can do is start writing emails to the ombudsman cisombudsman@dhs.gov
i think everybody shall start telling their stories and give the ombudsman a bulleted list about what needs to happen to fix the broken system...just a thought...it may have a chance of better visibility.
i may be too naive but nevertheless why miss the opportunity to spread the word around...

It is interesting � I moved from AL to SC a 1.5 year ago � needed a new ID, so I went there and they did this too � but only for the first time (they gave me that paper thing). Few weeks after this I changed my address so I had to renew it again� it was instantaneous;- they took the photo within 10 min I had my new ID � they said I�m in the system so no problems �have a nice day.
By the way � with that paper ID I travelled back to AL, to NC several times - I kept a copy from the old AL driver license (so what? � I can show my old international driver license :D � wondering what a local policeman would do with that �, otherwise I�m legally here, sorry )
