I am in a similar situation. After failing to get a definite answer on the exact time taken by the process of changing status to H4 while in the US, I have decided to take a trip to India to get this stamped instead. I was told that change of status to H4 needs to be approved before starting school, simply showing proof of having applied for COS is insufficient. But if you apply for change of status to F1,then approval is not required before starting school. However I would suggest you confirm this from your lawyer/school.

I think most on here know that IV's central goal is to clear the backlog
However there are many underlying specifics to get to this goal
and i think that's what the members on here want to hear about.
for example
Re-capture of unused visa numbers
removing country specific limits
Automatically granting visa numbers to those who have waited 5 years or more
Increasing the total number of EB visa numbers
Allowing non-current people to file I-485 and get EAD
As you can see there are many different causes and many different solutions
What is IV advocating...which cause?...which solution?
StarSun, Pappu please don't take things personally. Not all members can go to DC or visit their state representatives. I am sure IV has many other needs. If we can identify and openly publish a list of things that are needed then we can certainly increase volunteers and participation
Btw...how do you join the state chapter?
The answers to many of the questions asked may be obvious for you since you are heavily involved with IV...but they are not obvious to a lot.

At this point it may be better to understand how much do you need in next three months. Getting a committment for $20 contribution in April or June is of no use if we can't meet, let's say, 20% of our need in Jan.
I just can not believe that the above is not registering with most members.
On a related note, free riders may not be checking this forum. The title says that this is of no interest to them.

Team IV has the support from the Runner's World on-line!! This is an awesome opportunity to get Team IV some press coverage and national recognition for our efforts for the legal community and for our fight to help prevent childhood obesity!
C'mon IVians, with support from running giants like Runner's World, we should step up to the plate (or the start-line) of at least 1 walking/running event with Team IV!
Lets hear it for Team IV!

To all:
For those of us, who have green cards, we would also like to participate, if we can add an action item to improve citizenship rules. Most of us have waited 10 yrs for green card, and waiting another 5 yrs on top of it is too much.
Also, h1bs + green card holders would be both interested in joining the cause.
say what?

Let us start from the basics. I see there is much interest but there are different types of investors/interests here. I will knock off one at a time.
There are many types of traders, I will write about different trading strategies including factors and key concepts in a series of short posts. I don�t want to post everything in one single post as it makes for a very lengthy read and I don�t have time. You can ask me questions on each post and I can answer them.
Disclaimer- I am not recommending any strategy but only educating. Risk management is key to avoid burn out.
Day Traders- They trade intraday and capitalize very short term patterns in stock movement. They are not invertors but gamblers, but semi scientific gamblers (If you can call them that).
Technical analysis is the key to day trading. Technical analysis states that stocks follow patterns which could be identified and future movement could be predicted. This future movement is only valid for a short period of time. When a pattern forms and is identified, the future movement is called a break out. Some key technical analysis methods are supports, resistances, trading channels, triangles, pendants, diamonds, wedge, head and shoulders, island bottoms, etc etc.. There are also oscillators which are based on mathematical formulas that incorporate historical or recent prices of the stock like Bollinger bands, fast/slow stochastic, KST, Moving average convergence-divergence (MACD), momentum, Relative strength Index (RSI) and Williams %R etc, etc..
There techniques have been studied to death and have become self fulfilling prophecies. People see a trend and put on bets that the stock will behave in a particular manner and by the weight of these trades the stock does exactly as predicted. Usually day traders specialize in 1 or 2 stocks and no more than 4-5. They study and understand how the stock behaves and utilize these short term trends. You need to go long when you see a trend forming and go short when you see the trend maxing out to catch break outs in either direction. Since you are capitalizing on small price differentials you need to use leverage to make meaningful profits. This makes trading risky. You need to have entry and exit points and trade with discipline. Use algorithmic trading platforms to take out emotions from the trade. Always have a stop out.
Good reads- Come in to trading room, Equity trader course, Technical analysis of financial markets-by Murphy and many more.

when is yr EAD expiring ? what about H1 -- if you have given up that then there is not much that you can do ..other than infopass etc. I think logically speaking ,,I should be getting EAD the fastest (there are few more like me) ..who go card prod ordered in june ..so as soon as I get it ..I will post here.
it seems that this has become #1 issue for many people like me ...
as for me ..I have a plan B ...unpaid vacation ...one of my friends had told me once ...you shd enjoy life along the road and not at the end of it :D ..USCIS is doing that for me
It is expiring on Sep 19th and I dont have H1. Im not concerned about taking unpaid vacation, but the real issue is if my employer will continue to keep me in the job. It would be really scary trying to find a new job in this market. So far I have not alerted or gave any hint to my employer. I will see when the time comes.
But the sad part is that USCIS is working in a erratic way and there is no way to find out what exactly the situation is about a particular case.
Going to infopass is not an easy task as it is 100 miles from where I live and driving to and fro without any kind of hope is useless either.
I will wait for few more days will approach the congressman office and see what they can do.

Thanks for your support Needhelp! I really hope you can come walk the 5k at the Houston event. As I said before, the 5K is a 45 min walk at a moderate pace. And like Santb1975 said, you can reach a goal of 5K in 6-8 weeks.

Firstly the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of un-used visa's is a clear indicator of poor USCIS efficiency. Even if the recapture visa effort bears fruit and people will get interim benefit it will do nothing to improve the efficiency of processing cases at USCIS which I think is the root cause of this problem. Yes there is also a supply and demand situation but unless USCIS improves the delays and backlogs may not stand a chance.

There may be some EB2 Indians with PD in 2002 and 2003 (with traditional non-RIR LC) got out of BEC recently. If 1,500 Indian non-RIR LCs (with EB2 PD 2003)certified recently from BEC, that is sufficent to move the date back to 2003 for India again. Having said that, it is all prediction. No one knows, except USCIS. My prediction is just based on the magnitude of 485s (800K) filed recently, as is has all kind of composition in huge manitude, apart from so many 485s already pending due to name check.
thats only possible if 1500 EB2 India with PD <2003 got out of BEC in the last 2 months. Somehow that seems pretty hard for me to believe, but you never know.
Anyway looking forward to some detailed stats from USCIS, hope they publish something (they can do a month-by-month country-by-country analysis with what data tehy have now, and should be able to tell each and every application their future potential date of approval (subject to namecheck blackhole exception))

Chanduv - I am assuming you are asking "How do I start with walking/ running?". Here is what it takes to do this
- The first step is Commitment to your Health and Wellness. This can be achieved by putting away 30 - 45 minutes three to four times a week. That could be at lunch, evenings, mornings whatever time is suitable for you.
- The next one is consistency. You do not have to Jump start today by walking/ running 45 minutes, 5 times a week. If you can only do that for 30 minutes twice a week that is fine but you have to be consistent with it. You get addicted to it after a while and increase the time. You also do not have to run marathon's to be healthy and active.
You can start walking and you can set yourself a goal of walking 1 miles or 3.1 miles (5K) by a certain date. There are several races in the Tristate Area that you can choose to paricipate. you can find an event on runnersworld.com or active.com or we (Team IV) can help you find a local event. you can recruit your friends/ family to participate as well. If you can get a few folks in the Tristate chapter to do this as Team IV that will be awesome.
Also please let us know if you need any help/ guidance etc in finding an event and getting started with walking/ running. We will be Glad to help you out in anyway.
Folks, sorry I have not been in much action, with other stuff taking priority, but I would definitely like to know what it takes to do this? I have completely lost fitness due to bad lifestyle, long commutes to work, working spouse, small baby, and other tensions and I like this idea a lot.
Nolaindian - can you briefly explain how this marathon works? Does every city have a marathon to which we register, is it a community? Who sponsers? Do we do it as IV? Do we all form a group. Are the rules set by us? Do we pledge????
I can definitely start off with a short one - until I pick up on fitness :) Tri state members are more than welcome to join me :)

You voice of reason was being sorely missed by everyone me most of all.
Let me guess youyr priority would be EB2 (Obviously) and your priority date would be somewhere after 2007 and you deserve to get GC before EB3 2005. Now that you mention it the logic is so clear that i am kicking myself for missing the obvious
Mr waitsolong - NOW Do you now see what i mean about maturity of the forum
Mr FuriousPride - Do you read the whole post or just pick the ones which hurt your pride and comment on it. I guess i answered the question myself. We are having a discussion here. A discussion by definition is give and take of ideas. (We dont have to agrree on everything but we agree to listen to teh other's point of view). Now if we are going to have a civilized discussion i am open to it but if we are going to have statements like (Handing out visas at airport) these then we are on two different cereberal levels. No matching of minds
