I thought, 15000 members was a small goal. But I guess we have to start with even smaller goals. I agree with Amit.
There's too much at stake to give up this campaign. Without membership, we are a weak bunch. To fight organized campaigns by groups such as Numbersusa we need the member strength.
Let us aim for 8000 members by Jan 15th. Current membership stands at 7919. We need just 80 members to reach the 8000 mark. If 10% of the current membership brings ONE member by Jan 15th, we can easily reach that target. With 300000 immigrants in this kind of quagmire, cant we get 80 people? I believe we can.
Let's join hands one more time and try to Add just ONE member by Jan15th. It is for our own sakes we will be doing it, so let's do it!!!
Admins,
Please send out an email (monthly newsletter) to all members informing them about this campaign.
Thank you.

One of my close friends is considering running the DC 10 miler with me. She never ran or walked a race before. Hopefully she will decide to atleast walk before the end of the day. That will be good for both of us
I partnered with my aunt to walk the SF 5K as well. now I really need to partner with someone who can run the Houston 1/2 marathon with me.
Hi Santb1975,
We are working up to it, and either GoIV or myself may partner with you to run/walk the Houston Half. Working on it now :) will keep you posted!

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.

I just checked my online status one last time for the day; since the USCIS website was down all day. Usually its the same status but now I saw a LUD in today’s date. I checked the case status and both me and my wife have the Card Production Status:D
No emails or text just the update. Called the phone number and got the same message that the card has been ordered.
Its been a very long journey very similar to many here. Its been almost 11 years to a month since we came to this country and had to go through 2 applications to finally reach here. Sacrificed career for the sake of the GC and was at my wits ends with this long wait. Thanks to the almighty the road from here is hopefully green:)
Things I did:
1. Wife opened SR- Got standard response
2. Called congressman- they called and got standard response
3. I opened a SR on Aug 3rd
4. I called today and spoke with standard rep who told me my SR has a response “we are processing the case actively and need additional verification. If you don’t hear in 6-9 months please call back”. I told the level 1 rep I need to talk to level 2 and she transferred.
Level 2 and me spoke at length. She was very considerate and polite. The best info she could give was that my case was being actively adjucated. The case is at TSC, if it was not with an IO it will be in New Hampshire in storage.:eek: Give some more time for the case. I expressed my fear about dates retrogressing and she affirmed “hopefully this time it wont”.
And now I saw the status change. My wife still has a FP on the 12th and I have an infopass which I will cancel.
Best of luck to all who are waiting, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
@ smisachu,
Congratulations!
Still status quo for me so far.

The reporter doesn't know what he/she is talking about. I have seen a lot of inaccurate information coming from Indian media about visa increases but this has to be the worst one. It not only claims that the visa increase amendment has passed in the Senate but also that minimum wage bill is yet to be considered by the house. This bill was passed by the house in the first 100 hour marathon.
I don't know from where this reporter gets his information from .. may be from immigration-law.com. :)
I saw this in economic Times today

It is very clear that USCIS is yet to complete the receipt of all I-485 applications and are not in a position to give any statistics to DOL. I think then they will be busy in issuing AP / EAD based on the receipt. Considering the current work load, I think it will take at least couple of months for the USCIS to give any reasonable estimate to DOL regarding the actual demand. Till that time, I think DOL will be forced to publish the same status every month. :(
I wish USCIS can use the people worked in Backlog Elimination centers to issue EAD / AP and clear I-485 receipts and provide some meaningful figures to DOL. [I hope they do not create another July bulletin fiasco :D]
One small correction,it is DOS instead of DOL.

Thanks for sharing the charts.
Now I am really confused between going forward with stocks vs forex. I understand that forex is traded 24x7, wont they be helpfull if you can trade during the stock market hours. What is your thoughts??
E-mini S&P 500 Futures (http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/equity/emini-sp500_FO.html)
Each points = $50. Example Sold short at 796 and bought at 788. 796-788 = 8 points and that means 8*50 = 400 dollars profit.
E-mini NASDAQ-100 Futures (http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/equity/emini-nasdaq100.html)
Each point = $20.
>> If you could share your charts and explain your strategy
I can not share my strategy, however I can share my daily charts.

�Update on Rejection of June �Other Worker� Adjustment Applications and What This Means for July�.
I am manily concerned as USICS rejected the 485 petitions for "Other Worker s" last june ,they can also do the same now if they received huge number of applications ( 40K) in the first few days .

I guess we have enough people convinced and for those short sighted ones will have an option whether they want to get naturalized or live on their dear GCs so by that time if they educate themselves they will be convinced too.
Now what are the next steps in chanelling this effort through IV Core?
One's life time is too short to determine whether changing citizenship to US citizenship is worth or not. And hence to define it as a "wisdom" or "short sightedness" is also almost impossible. Two school of thoughts can just pop up 1) What would be the gain vis a vis loss changing citizenship 2) why one should get rid of the citizenship where one was born. And both of them are more realted with philosophical and moral issues rather than short term material gain...

Like I said I'm willing to contribute if necessary. We have 50+ people here so it should not break anyone's bank...that's if most of us chip in.

Just few months ago, I had enough to spare 20% down payment for the type of townhome I liked, I made commitment for buying it. I have been carefully reading various home related articles in news papers as well as in IV postings. All the arguments against buying did not affect decision-making in terms of delaying or stopping.
Some of the ancinet Indian thoughts link changes in luck (for good or bad) with differenct events of life - education, marriage, childbirth, new friends, change of place, change of job, change of home, etc. While selecting home I tried to follow as much as possible to Indian Vastu Shastra and Chinese Feng Shui.
This is my third home purchase - two was in India - so I am not excited like earlier purchases. In fact while selling previous one (because I needed money), I was not comfortable because I got very much attached.
Simply:
I did not buy earlier, because I was not having enough money. When prices lowered and I could afford, I made purchase. I had social pressure for the last five-six years to purchase home but I did not yield to that (20% was my bottom line). Now there is media pressure against buying but I did not yield to that.
It was just, when I became comfortable. I'll be moving next month.

Many of us have gone through the Canadian immigration process and received permanent residence there "as a backup". It's a monumental waste of time and resources.
The several thousand dollars worth of additional (and mostly unnecessary) expense could be better spent here in the States. Something that can perhaps also be highlighted in your presentations.

It could be a waste of time if your plan is to be in the US. Everyone I know who went through the process in Canada planned to stay in Canada. I was just pointing out how easy it is there compared to here and the fact that they don't discriminate against people because of their racial or ethnic background.
Canada could be a good model for the US. Therefore, I thought about comparing the processes during the meeting.

In this visa bulletin atleast they give us an idea of not to expect until the year end, So they are not giving false hope in each bulletin until october 2009!!!
So we all can predict on september onwards. Atleast we should send some flowers for passing this information.
flowers? i would suggest sending manure - send back some of the love (and let them grow their own flowers)
(send flowers and they will be happy for a day.. let them grow flowers and they will be happy forever) ;)
