I flew from Seattle. Started 4:00PM monday afternoon and reached 7AM tuesday. left 5PM tuesday and reached home at midnight. HAd to take an unpaid vacation.
I had asked IV for sponsorship.
I got sponsored for a non-stop and a very comfortable flight. but it was $700. Although IV was able to collect $700 for me(thanks to abhijit), i felt it was a little too much to be spending on one person. I raised another $150 from friends and $75 from my own pocket and bought 2 cheaper tickets instead(with bad schedules) and got another friend of mine to go with me.
I had a choice : spend $700 of IV money on one comfortable ticket
OR
spend $75 out of pocket and hours of talking to others to contribute and get one more person to go with me and fly a weird schedule..
I'm proud to have made the right choice!

Funny - that's actually the most unrelated post on this thread :-)
I'm still trying to find out if people who are current and had submitted their I-485 a few months ago are in the same boat - i.e. they are also on hold until October 1st, or are they part of the 60,000.

i would like to move away from the focal issue of rally participation for a moment- only to broaden the question. yes i perfectly realize that there are many motivated members that had genuine compulsions of various kinds that did not allow them to consider being in DC. i could be one of them tomorrow. i also know that they are not the majority of non attendees. still, to again answer a previous question, 2,000 registrations was a pretty good number from a crowd that likes things handed out to them. my question though is related to other iv activities. going to a rally is a bigger decision, true. so how many of those who are espousing moralistic platitudes about "cheapening" and "not associating real people with userid's" or blaming chandu's words have participated in other actions? have you joined a state chapter? are you active in it? did you attend a meeting if you belong to an active chapter? if you have no chapter did you volunteer to start one? did you volunteer for pre rally activities? have you met your local lawmaker?
i could go on, but those are key questions. those who complain about trivia need to step up and show their own commitment. the way of this country is to petition government by lobbying your lawmakers. nothing cheap about that one. in fact it's an incredible experience, open and educational to say the least.
you and i do not participate in these things because "he said and she said', we do it for ourselves. please always remember that. set aside egos for a larger motive and see if it feels good....
for days i bumped the state chapters thread up with minimal response. here was an opportunity to meet others like you and plan these meetings together. what's the good reason for that apathy?
the window is not closed. this is a long journey. i urge you to join your chapters or to create one. you will find it a rewarding experience..
i will be happy to provide details and answer questions on this from anyone interested.

Those who had real genuine reasons will attend next time. Those feeling guilty of not attending, contribute 100, 200 whatever....[ I'm not at all pushy here, just requesting] that'll help IV more than posting your reasons. IV core are not "Agony Uncles" or "Agony Aunts" to counsel us on our personal problems or guilt issues!
Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with those who had backpain, who were forced by the bosses etc. There is NOTHING IV CAN DO ABOUT IT (real genuine reasons). For those complaining about money, there was a thread on IV to sponsor tickets, provide accomodations etc. Why didn't you use those?
So whoever posts their "Confession" next, please sweeten it by showing you've done your penance - by posting details of your latest contribution to IV, done to atone your absence. That way, it will it help you get over your guilt (if you really have it), and also shutup those who question your genuineness.
if the movers of this thread have no objection i would like to close it.
i hope though in the meanwhile we can turn the discussion to more productive directions. there is much to be done yet.

What I meant to say, you�ll succeed if you have the capability (with your professional knowledge, experience and skills) in your professional filed but definitely not with USCIS.
I can say, USCIS is a great leveler in this aspect. Everybody from PhD to Programmer is same in front of USCIS. All have to wait 10+ yrs with mental tension and anxiety, no matter what your caliber is and how successful you are in your profession.
Don�t get me wrong here. I also had to suffer for visa stamping, renewals, I-94 issues, PA etc in US Visa processing (nothing sever though). At the 5th yr of H1-B, I just decided.. to hell with that.....
I don't know about you guys, but, I would be heart patient with that kind of anxiety in another 5 yrs of GC process �. Really need a lion's heart to pursue US GC now days
i completely agree with u.......waiting 10-12 years for a plastic card keeping everything on hold and renewing EAD,AP every other year.......h1b stamping........all that paperowork.......working ur a** out for the same employer for xx years........keeping track of excruciatingly slow movement of PDs in monthly bulletin.........feel like i am already in ICU man.........is this a life?????

I totally agree with you days_go_by. The US immigration law sucks. One the one hand they will keep on syaing that we have shortage of manpower and on the other hand they try to restrict. Every single head counts....even the persons on H4... H4's can also contribute to the economy...rather than a simple HEAD Count in this country.

But don't you need the original LC approval notice for concurrent filing? It was already included in the I140 filed on July 17. I will just hope and pray that I can receive the receipt notice (or at least receipt number) before August 14~15. Thank you, SVAM77!

No one on Capitol Hill could fail to be impressed by IV's exceptional organization and by the strength and the reasonableness of it's message. The NYTimes and Washington Post coverage confirms that IV is an organization with a major role to play in crafting future legislation. Well done all!!!

It is very crucial for the members from Michigan to participate in the meeting. It is also recomended, that we find all our friends who visit IV, or are stuck in backlog, and bring them to the meeting, or urge them to become members on IV and start posting on threads....

Just talked to a USCIS customer representative
my application is still not in the system. My application reached USCIS in June 27th. I told her that it reached on June 21st....I think I could give it a try on July 12th...
She also said I will get a response(Receipt Notice or the application sent back) in 4 weeks time.

Visa is generally assigned to an application only if it has cleard background checks etc...and ready to be approved... They never assign Visa on receiving the application
Well, I just made my third call and the lady sounded quite confident that applications that have been received and are in processing are not affected by this and it's only NEW applications that would be coming in after July 2 that are affected. I understand what you're saying that they don't assign it but I have read before that they "assume" each application qualifies unless they eventually figure out otherwise. And now I am making my own assumption that if they assume it qualifies then it's assumed a visa is indirectly assigned? Wait, I'm confused:D.

My Mother in law is severely sick, and my wife needs to travel asap. We need to get her AP, as it's expired.
1. Is there an urgent processing option for the AP? And how ?
2. Can she travel on the receipt of application, and I can send the AP document to her by FEDEX?
Thanks,

Problems will not go away. Such incidents may happen elsewhere or in the same place.
If Air France was genuine they should have made everyone stay in the same place or atleast talk to theie department of immigration and arrange a temporary supervised visa and take all people to the hotel.
They just did not care
Chanduv, I totally agree with you. I wanted to vent out my frustration and I did my part by writing to them. I wish those who agree must also write and let them know that they are not going to fly AF again. BTW, I am not going to fly AF even if the price of air ticket is competitive.
