The most important part of rally is the lawmaker meeting because they decide to bring up the bills and then vote on them.
There are 635 lawmakers: 100 senators + 535 house members. It would be great if we could set up at least 1 meeting with every lawmaker and more meetings with immigration sub committee members.
example 1 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170156&postcount=4457) and example 2 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170176&postcount=4458)

Let me reiterate that I am all for H4s being able to work and you guys should try unite for this cause.
I haven't researched L1 quota and its intent so I really can't comment further with respect to that.
Its unfortunate that legals and illegals are measured on different scales and it would be very unfair if they end up getting more benefits than us legals. I am not sure what you mean by illegal spouses? Either one is illegal or one is not.
I wish you the best in your search and would highly recommend exploring the unpaid internship possibilites in the interim.

let's discuss effective ways forward rather than the pessimistic tone I see here.
Bestin: the core is involved. Some of the core are just very busy on IV stuff. I spoke with Aman last week he called me from the airport -- a trip to DC. Some people are cagey about handing out personal details and while it is frustrating let's have some respect. I'm one of the few who puts their full name in signature, and my user id is my name, and I say I'm from NY, so it only takes a telephone directory search to find my phone number and address. But you won't hear me calling people names for not giving contact details. Some people are more reserved than others, for example, my wife used to live in a communist police state where the state was out to get you, so she is more reserved. Frustrating I know. Enough said, let's look for positive things to do.
SO ON THE POSITIVE SIDE:
I got another 33 letters this week, and expect about same next week, and have 2 US citizens who will likely get me another 20. So I might make 100+.
My total in hand so far: 43
I'd be happy to continue for several weeks or months, but will go with what the core decides for drawing the line.
TIP:
Where you know someone who works at a different place to you ask them to collect some letters from their work place and give them to you or mail them to you. I'm expecting to get at least 20 that way next week alone, maybe more later.

Hi,
Looks like TSC is working fast approving EAD renewals. How about NSC? Did any one get EAD renewal approved from NSC?
Thanks

Also, as we know the severity of the retrogation is not completely due to visa number unavailability. USCIS never used the full 140k - many years - due to the inefficiency of their process, FBI name check backlogs, may be work force shortage etc. We are beginning to see some improvements in those areas. There is an increased awareness of EB backlogs due to efforts of IV. I would say, the future is looking promising.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Nat

On a lighter note....the red marks alonside ur IV user profile...they indicate the number of feathers in ur hat---i got more red ones than anyone here..which means i may soon be in IV hall of fame ....once u end up there n still miss ur buddies here on IV forum...u gotta reboot ur modem n sign up again with a diff username... not as diff as an ead renewal:-)
take it easy---u r off the hook for 1 yr now!!!
You are right that it is a long wait...for me ten years is almost coming, but no relief yet. I hate to get these documents renewed every year. It is a vicious cycle whole year round to update one or the other document in different points of time. It is becoming a nightmare when we could do something useful instead.
And yes you are very right that I am responsible for my own choice, but after spending 10 years of my prime life and youth I think there are vey few options otherwise. More importantly when you have kids grown up and more assimilated here. You don't want to force your will on them. I hope you understand what I mean.
BTW, I am surprised that people have given me red dots from behind. Talk to me directly if you think I am wrong.

Just with few members going against you within couple of hours, you are backing from your point. Then imagine how tough it will be to work for our goals working against our forces on daily basis in this country.
Just less than a day and few members are enough to push you back. Having similar and stronger opposition IV is still live. This one is enough to prove the leader ship.
Your previous post demands results from IV. You look like CEO/Chairman of IV. I pity your insanity and you have to learn a lot to live in this real world.
I realize that there is no point in telling you guys anything. When you don't have an open mind, you can not accept the facts. It's like banging your heads against steel wall. When you are not even ready to diagnose the disease, there is little hope you will be able to cure it. Denial is a beautiful thing.
So I apologize for my comments.
Here is something you will love:
Congratulations IV and the core team! Keep up the good work.

Not sure what you mean by this...
I never said I agreed with country base quotas for EB. However; lawmakers, etc. are not stupid people. We have to try to understand why they are there and why it is not being changed. We have to understand the symptoms before you can find the cure.
Your argument is that the country quotas help limit nepotism and discrimination based on national origin. However, this is already prohibited under DOL rules if you look at form ETA-750A. Therefore, if this is happening, it means there is a failure in the labor certification system to prevent this type of discrimination. Also, nepotism is not all bad as the Clintons and Bushes have been demonstrating :D.
The country quota owes its origin and sustenance to deep national insecurities around race. It will change eventually as the makeup of the nation changes over time. In the short term we will see movement as the UK bumps up against the 7% limit.

Visa recapture legislation such as H.R. 5882, is "one of the few bills that have the actual opportunity of getting done this year because of bipartisan support." Narasaki said this is also an opportunity to hold Congress' "feet to the fire" and see if those who claim that they are for immigrants, just against illegal immigration, really mean what they say.

Hi - Does anyone work with Vaman Kidambi, bridgeport, CT. Please let me know the feedback on this lawyer.
Yes, I did. He is our company's attorney. He is very good and experienced attorney but he is too slow.
If you are looking for experienced attorney, go with him but if you are looking for faster service then look for someone else.

Major reform is "not viable in this Congress," added Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, chairwoman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration. (http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7437469)
There is also opposition to consider piecemeal options which treat legal immigration reform separately.
I am generally a very optimistic person but not seeing whats really viable this year.
I understand that IV is looking into other angles as well. Once again not sure.
Can IV core comment about what our realistic chances are?
Please dont answer "Join your state chapters". I am already a state chapter member.
I don't think it's possible to comment on 'realistic' chances...compred to 2008 there will be better rewards for the same amount of effort.
Because it is a election year people/politicians will focus more on "popular" bills that will draw real voters. Now they are still in 'fund raising' mode and they may have to budge a bit for the corporation monies...
To be honest with you, No matter what the chances are what the IV core will comment on this issue, it's for us to think whether there is a better option than 'not acting now'?

... I have seen a few threads in the past where someone stuck in BEC was just venting and then ppl come along and tell them to "be happy for others". I don't get it....
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
I'm a June filer, and this July thing will hit me too, but I still congratulate those July filers. So what? I understand that we will start getting our EADs in a year (so we would be applying for next EAD once we got current one). I understand that USCIS officers will be irritated and pissed, they will be under tons of application and everybody will be calling and bugging them. So? I realize that it maybe will take 3-4 years for us to get GC. So? I realize that DOS might retrogress now dates for many years on Oct, and will not do the same stupid mistake as making dates current and unleashing the voluntary slaves. So?
Today was little tiny success and it was day of tiny celebration. There is day for complaining and there is day for celebration.

Please understand that your older PD is much more important because u would get ur gc that much earlier compared to 2005-07 people. Just because ppl are able to file 485 does not mean that they are going to take a number out of the quota for that year. The numbers are only taken during approval and hence they would all still be stuck in the same queue and you would have gotten an oppurtunity to file and possible get your GC too...take a deep breath, relax and think about this with a cool mind. I definitely do feel bad for you. My labor was stuck in BEC too and i left my company and joined a new one and restarted all over again. Been on H1 for seven years without ever getting any chance to file 485 until now...
-
Exactly!
Only if people stop complaining when they see how they don't loose out even if others can "apply" for I-485.
I guess, there is lot of frustration and anger which maybe clouding judgement.

Ofcourse, if Republicans also voted yes, CIR would have passed.
For me it's simple, majority of Republicans are anti-immigrant while majority of Democrats are pro-immigrants. The vote can speak for itself.
Look at the % on the vote:
FOR CIR (Democrat: 70%, Republicans: 22%)
Now, another reality check is HR5882.

Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.
I have never flown with them. I always prefer AA and Continental direct flight. Nobody I know have ever flown with AF and now I will make sure nobody ever does.
I hope media in India makes a very big deal out of this issue. They will learn their lesson.
