Much appreciated
I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

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.
1. Threads cannot be a sticky on the home page. However, threads can be made sticky in the forums page under the sub-forums. The sticky thread on the Ask the Lawyer forum. (The http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum68-free-lawyer-conference-calls/1900583-free-attorney-conference-calls.html)
2. The aim is to have conference calls with Lawyers for free every week. We have gotten 4 lawyers to do it for 2 consecutive days - consistently. I need one more lawyer for the fourth week - here is a task for any member who is interested. Find me a lawyer who is willing to give 1 whole hour worth of advice to our members for free, preferably on a Thursday (to maintain the same day in a week) consistently year round.
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.
Any member who is willing to spend a few hours on a regular basis, please help us with a FAQ about the site. Some of the answers are already in the forums, you just have to put them under one umbrella. Please let me know who wants to work on this project - individual or group effort.
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.
Let me be clear, the only way IV knows of treating its members is with RESPECT. If it was not with respect or the understanding of the struggles each of you go through - our motivation to continue this cause would have long disappeared.
If there is frustration on our part, it exists within us, we hope for better, but the frustration (or anything else) has never stopped us from providing the service or executing the tasks.
The "frustration lecture" as you call it was not meant to be a lecture - which goes to show that it is very difficult to control the tone and message on forums. Many people have questions, and since the topic came up, I shared some of my thoughts - to give members a peek of how things look from the inside.
Not all our volunteering members are from DC area, they are as widely spread out as California, Minnasota, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tri State Area -- you name it, we have dedicated volunteers. Distance need not stop anyone from volunteering.
I am not sure how much "hope" is selling for these days, let me know :) - Trying to make this a fun and entertaining forum :p
Today is March 27, 2011. And I have 2 Tasks for interested members.
1. Find a fourth lawyer to give advice for free for an entire hour - preferably on a Thursday.
2. Help in compiling a FAQ, that will assist any new member to find his/her way through the forums.
Thank you guys for starting this conversation.

Dear All,
The idea about the oath is good. Most of us do great, creative things at work and earn the appreciation of our peers and seniors. Why not we brainstorm now, come with creative ideas to help ourselves?
Let us be open all new ideas. No idea is stupid!
Personally I would think of a mass satyaghraha but not sure now many will like it. It is a peaceful and well tried Gandian method to highlight our plight
GOD bless the EB community!

Here is the most up-to-date list of people who have reported their issues with the audit delays:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a3znd69ymyz
I think its about time that we start brain storming the plan of action, I did like the idea of rally but that had its own Pros and Cons. We need more ideas coming from the people...
I was thinking that we could draft a letter of request to DoL and have all the members sign on it to reflect the massiveness of the issue that Management needs to know - this is becoming a major issue in the EB immigration process. We could then write up a follow-up article for newspaper or even provide a copy of that signed letter to them. Any input to this?
I have requested IV Admins to provide some input as well, but if you have any ideas please speak up!
Here is what one of the IV administrators communicated to me:
"In order for anything to be successful, it is important that we get as many people affected involved. Based on the number of people who wish to take part in solving the issue we can initiate a campaign.
Pls let everyone know that IV can help them. We need everyone affected willing to help themselves by coming out and actively participating in a campaign."
So please, dont disperse or lose hope, we need to gather more people to support the campaign, once started.
Admins: I am unable to add the files as an attachment, even after making sure that the file size is under the limit. Am I missing something?

I am actually very dissappointed with myself. In the post rally MC fluster, I had made a mental note to introduce Logiclife and then give him a flower. But I hear he strongly opposes measures such as this :)
I had also promised to get Macaca on the stage and write with colorful Sharpies on his forehead.
Its probably best I forgot both...
Yes, Logiclife is a bit touchy about the flower issue. But its all good

I do not have a GC which means my entry in US is not guaranteed the next time I visit my home country. Period. The risk is simply not worth taking. Congrats to those for whom it worked out. You are far and few people.
I recently had the taste of this experience when my wife got 221(g) at Mumbai Consulate and had to enter using AP. Imagine if she did not have an AP and if we had a home what would we do?
Today in this scenario we can atleast sell everything we have and cash out of US. The stakes and dependency gets higher if we own a house. I would advise anyone against "investing" money in US when you dont have a GC.
I bought a property in India in the meantime and the value has doubled and I am pretty happy about it.

Folks,
I got greened today, surprisingly. Could anyone let me know what are the good numbers to reach a human in USCIS, hopefully with less wait time. I wanted to check with them what address they have on file. I filed an address change in JUne but I am not sure if they have it right in their systems. Also, is there a way to get this information without calling them.
Thanks a lot ..
They will not answer that. If you have filed via AR-11, you can assume it goes into their system instantly. I was in the same situation. I change my address in November, docs delivered in Dec came at the new address.

i fully support eb3 becoz their backlog and pain is more severe...... but fragmenting everyone in smaller groups..... like eb3 v/s eb2 v/s eb1 will not fix any problem...... i think there are anti-immigrants or people from other tracker websites who create fake ids to make people to fight with each other..... look at this eb2_unite guy..... she/he created his id today and is suggesting creating a new group of eb2...... i know for certain ..... 1000% certain that he will not do anything about creating a group...... he is writing inflammatory posts so that people here are divided and continue to talk rubbish......
this a$$ (eb2_unite) and other like him should be collectively shunned by everyone...... we are all educated and we should use our brain.... at least sometimes..... to see beyond the obvious when some a$$ writes inflammatory posts......
--------------
Thanks for your post and the "dignified" language of your criticism. In a public forum it is impossible to expect everyone to talk in the same voice. Dissent in inevitable. If you are a staunch supporter of the EB3 cause, it is your prerogative, but you cannot expect every EB2 person to fall in line with your thoughts and call them traitors. Is it a sin for EB2 people to join together and protect their interests and represent their case? Is it not democratic? What way is it inflammatory or legally wrong? I am only asking those EB2 people who feel that they would be affected to ponder over the impact of a re-interpretation. There is a legal avenue to port from EB3 to EB2. Eligible EB3 folks can certainly port to EB2 and get benefited.
A few EB2 and EB3 folks have spoken logically about working unitedly towards visa recapture. No one seems to listen. I am willing and keen to support the visa reacpture. That is a positive approach. However, if reinterpretation is the only route EB3 friends are interested in, then EB2 folks will have to rethink on their approach to the issue. Like it or not, that is the reality.

Please pas this to as many friends as possible whoever is suffering because of Atlanta Processing Center.
Thanks for adding the info
Hopefully we will see more people info by next week.

Folks,
Things are not good at Chicago either (at least for me). 9 months after audit reply and still waiting.
Please dont' make this specific to Atlanta. Though things might be different from June 1st since there will be only Atlanta Center.

1. What was mentioned in the job advertisements - was the alternate Bachelors+2 years mentioned
2. How long as it been since the last advertisement
3. Can they file another I-140 concurrently with I-485 using the recently approved labor
4. I agree with abhijitp you can get a RFE too
My suggestion would be to apply in EB3 even though the job advertisement reads masters or Bachelors with 2 years and use the option 3
I request you guys to consult a good attorney immediately and help your selves and also save time.
Please consult an attorney for your good.

Actually, H.R. 5921: High Skilled Per Country Level Elimination Act is equally important. Why am I from India being discriminated against as compared to my neighbor from some other country if we are doing the same job for the same company. That way if everybody is in the same boat maybe there will be more uproar about 5882 because I'm sure other populations are more vocal than Indians and Chinese.
When everybody is equally screwed with EB3 - U for all categories.
