The objection by house members to this bill is the easy way out for the reps, who are in trouble for a million things such as high gas prices, another Vietnam type bogging down in Iraq, high spending on medicare etc. The only way for conservatives to curry favors with their base is to throw in the defense of marriage bill, and do nothing about the CIR. The next few days will be critical for the bill. It dies or goes to the conference where it might come out radically changed.
I am opening a new thread to post all updates on the CIR. It seems today is a crucial day when the house comes in session and work on forming the committee might start. If people hear any updates you can post in this thread.
I read on immigration-law that conservative republications are trying to torpedo the CIR with a new technical legislative argument. It sure is going to be a difficult task to have this bill passed since house has republican majority and they are saying in the media that they will not have the bill passed.
"Report indicates that the House hardliners who opposed the Senate-passed S. 2611 have come up with a weapon to block the House-Senate Conference Committee and the S.2611. The weapon they have hammered out involves a constitutional issue as to whether the provision in S. 2611 that requires guest worker applicants to "pay the back taxes" as condition for the legal status constitutes a federal government's measure to raise the revenue. These hardliners argue that the U.S. Constitution mandates that any legislation to raise revenue for the government must originate in the House and S. 2611 violated the U.S. Constitution by originating such legislative bill in the Senate. When the Congress returns on Monday, there will be a see-saw fight between the S. 2611 proponents and opponents on this legal technicality issue. One wonders how the House hardliners would defend their prior violations in the past in another legislations that involved such legal technicality issues. Besides, there is no clear definition as to whether such back-tax payment requirement indeed constitutes a revenue raising measure. "

On what basis does DOL pick a company for audit?
I think there is not really any basis for audit unless there is a big mistake in the filing.
I filed through a MNC which is a automotive company.
The other rumor I heard that DOL hired lots of new people and audit process was part of their training. Do not question me how far it is true..

Hi Pappu and Administrators:
I am not sure if you still need people call to the CHC. I think you need to make Hispanic call a lot. I will be glad to transmit this information but I am not sure if this bill already passes yesterday. You probably know the philosophy about why they do not want support this bill but if they realized that besides non legal residents, there are a lot of Hispanic people looking for GC throug H1Bs, and they are suffering as many of us, they can change their minds......You should contact other members of IV go are Hispanic and make them to spread the voice.....Let me know if we need more calls.......
I agree. Thats a fantastic point. The Hispanic Caucus is already listening but if they probably hear about actual legal immigrants from Latin and South America also suffering because of their obstinance, it will definitely help the cause. I suggest you should definitely make the calls, tell them you are a legal immigrant from Peru and need them to support the bills.

Dhundhun,
What is your PD? There is a portion of the memorandum that needs your child's age at the later of the date when PD is current or when petition is approved if PD is current by petition approval date.
I think you should submit an I-485 for your child as soon as possible or if the child is not in the US then file a I-824 immediately. This will serve as proof that your child "sought LPR status" within one year of your PD becoming current. Even if the 485 or 824 is rejected, you have established the fact that your child "sought LPR status" and leave room for administrative appeal in future.
This is just my 2 cents and I am not a lawyer. However, whichever way you interprete the new memorandum your child's CSPA age is under 21.

I have not been FPed recently. All 3 of us (me, my wife and daughter) were FPed in 2007. Then we filed for renewal in 2008 and got the EAD with no FP.
I was told by an InfoPass officer that FP are valid for 15 months..and after 15 months if PD is not current - they electronically re-validate the FPs.
Then I had called USCIS cust serv and they told me if my PD did not become current by May '10.. I should get FP notice..since it will be 30 months (15 + 15 months) since my last FP appt.
Anyone has info about my Que no. 2 ??

Hi,
I saw response from one of the moderator.
I think that we need to point out to law makers that employment based petitioners are being differentiated from citizens . Whlie in their case the date of child is frozen on the date of the I-130 application, why not same treatment should be given for I-140.
I again hope our Core Team members will take up this issue.
Excellent point.
Discrimation between children is disgusting

People from EB2 India June are getting approval left and right with in 3 days of months which is good sign. What does that mean ? DOS prediction for porting is not as high as they thought.
If porting was high then people from EB3 who ported should get more and more approval than people who are in EB2. We will not see any movement in June may be week or two but in July I think we will reach end of 2006. Aug and Sep is DOS's call.

Can't agree less with you two guys.

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey in I-485 filing w/o current PD thread. 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" for more details)
Hundreds of members visit this website every day. I am just really surprised that we are having trouble getting people to participate in Advocacy Days and raising $50,000. It seems like a no-brainer to me to participate in whatever way possible.
There have been around 250 contributions so far. Some members have contributed a few hundred dollars each, with a couple of members contributing $500+ each, and some have pledged $100 for every $2500 or $5000 raised, just to help try and reach the target. They wouldn't have had to put in so much if everyone else chipped in.
I am really curious to know why you are not getting more involved and at least contributing financially to this effort if you cannot attend the Advocacy days. You are the beneficiary. What is holding you back from trying to do something tangible to help yourself, your family and your friends? Are you seriously going to tell me that it's not even worth $50 to you?
This is the best shot we are going to have in the next two years.
I am not doing this for IV. I'm doing this for myself, my brother and my friends stuck in the green card mess.
People are going to run after me for my comments but this is what i have to say.
Most of the visitors to IV take it for granted, they will come and see/search info and move on. No one is forcing them to pay a single penny for using a resource like IV. Its an attitude that someone will go to DC for ME, someone will pay the money for ME and if something happend I will also take benefit. Unfortunately thats what i see around.
Ideally we need to contribute - either by going to DC or by financial means. I did my part by contributing a few dollars(equals to 2 lunch outings for my family), cant force others but would expect people to do it one way or the other. Finally its our choice to do something for our own good or just keep sitting in a corner waiting for someone to do something for us.
Agree with indogokiwi and others. Whoever has consumed IV resources for anything like prediction thread or getting info from lawyers etc should chip in(dont get flamed, its just a request).
Since knowing of IV, I have contributed for these campaigns and will do in future too.

Thank you. The community needs to wake up. Times are going to be tough not just for H1B but for everyone else in line for GC.
Advocacy is a long term process that requires lot of efforts and resources. We should not be expecting quick results because of one month's contribution. That is peanuts when you compare it with the amount being spent against us.
It is high time people join the state chapters and try to lead them if your state chapter is dormant or inactive. Action items will happen but we need to be ready. Try to get more people in IV. The mantra for success will be mass participation in the coming times. It should not be a couple of hundred phone calls or faxes that happened last year, but hundreds of thousands of calls, faxes and thousands of meetings.
If we can achieve that then we will definitely increase chances of success significantly this year.
This community needs to think how it can increase mass participation on IV and bring everyone waiting in line on IV platform.
Let me know what and where to direct them. I promise and I will update the progress on daily basis.

Come on you sleeping beauties , wake up for this campaign.... Last chance to be on the boat.
Guys, this is the time to show the core group that we are a bunch of people thankful that there is IV to help us fight this fight.
We need to stand united and raise awareness and sign up for the $20minimum a month recurring contribution.
I understand that some of you do intend to contribute and have contributed generously in the past,
But here are some mindsets, All of us fall in these 4 mindsets.
1) you probably think "why should I sign up for a monthly recurring contribution program". I am a generous contributor and I contribute almost monthly anyways.
2) I have contributed enough.
3) I will contribute if I feel like, when I see something comming out of this effort.
4) I do not have to contribute.
If you are in category 1).I can tell you, I understand because I have been a generous contributer in the past. But guys, the reason I signed up for a monthly recurring contribution is that it helps IV know that 'X' amount of funds are guaranted every month, this way they can better plan.
Category 2) Contributed enough - Okay why dont just sign up for a minimum amount of $20/month once more. What is enough is not enough.
Category 3) This has been discussed, I do not want to talk about this category of members.
Category 4) Again - No Comments-
Lets show the core team that all of us fall in the first 2 categories.
The last thing we want the core to do is bite their fingers over funds. We want do not want the core to get stressed out over funds. They have enough real work to do already.
Inspite of being a serious team player, and a generous contributor it took me two days to sign up for the recurring monthly contribution program, so I give all of the ones that have not set up a monthly recurring contribution benefit of doubt. But this is our last chance, I urge you to be one of the 1000 people we need for this effort.
Need 897 members

It shows that we were ahead of them in following events that happened last week. They posted something today that we knew while it was happening last week.!! It is all possible due to the support of our members (small minorty though :( ) that have contributed and enabled us to have the tools to have a foot inside the door on the hill.

Please pass it to as many as you know, so that we can make this compaign sucessfully.
Thanks.

Okay, now members of this forum are financial advisers as well. Does Day Trading help you get Green Card. If no, what is this baseless, senseless and unrelated post doing here ? Don't tell people what to do with their money, nobody cares what you think.
Dude, the thread says "People interested in Trading Stocks ETFs "..if u don't care then why even bother reading it..there are other threads that talk abt GC..look at those..

Hi, lets each get 1 American / Permanent Resident friend/coworker get to call at least 1 person from this list. Granted, they might not be as vested to call all of them. But each call counts. Please have them call at least 1 person. This should take less than 1 minute and if needed, dial from your phone and give it to them :).
Please, consider doing this. I know it is hard. I know it can be uncomfortable. Ask your immediate manager. Ask your coworker. Ask your brother. Ask your graduate TA. Ask your advisor. Ask anyone. Just get those calls out there. This really is about asking them to help you so that you can live a 'normal' life in a free democracy that is less than free for you. Please. Consider asking at least 1 person to call 1 person on this list.
Its not as hard as you might think.
Thanks

Slammer, if you got visa number last year you should have gotten an interview months back, UNLESS your consulate appoinment schedule is backlogged.
Good luck
Sorry, should have said that the NVC had visa numbers for us - last year. Of course we won't hear anything from them until our PD becomes current.
But thanks for the tip to simply call the NVC and inquire about the status of our application, until now we only called the automated system and sent inquiries by email. Talking personally to someone might give some more information than the automated response :"Numbers are not yet available."
I'll keep you posted ! And good luck to us all in the future ! :)
