Will the reply be made public? Grassley and Durbin wrote to TCS, Infosys and other big bodyshoppers with a list of questions. The replies were never made public.
Also, wonder if greencards issued without security clearance will be revoked? Anything is possible in this immigration circus.

Well....one good thing out of this is we know Kerry might be aware of our issues
and is positive towards us.
In the MA state chapter we have been focussing on Kennedy, but maybe now we should focus on Kerry as well.
What are core team's thoughts on this?
IV has not taken the credit for Kerry's inclusion.... then who did it ? Did Kerry on his own added this amendment ? I don't beleive it.... is their someone other than IV also working on our cause :confused: :confused:

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.

Mass deportations will NEVER happen. Its too damn expensive and a lot of moral issues come into the equation.
I agree that border security should be the first step before any sort of legislative relief is discussed for Illegal Immigration. There were 3.5 million illegal aliens in 1986 when amnesty was passed. Today the number is 12 million+.
.
What's so immoral about sending them to their home country without splitting families? We are not putting them in prison/guantanamo. The first amnesty was a big mistake and not justifiable. C'mon 8 billion is a expensive? Illegals cost California 10.5 billion a year in welfare, stamps, education...
"That would reduce the incentive to illegally migrate here."
tough punishments and deportation would discourage every one
"I am more optimistic for something positive to happen with Republicans at the helm than the Democrats coz to take a positive step, you have to be clear on your position. With an unprecedented majority, the Dems could not accomplish anything with regards to Immigration. All they came up with phony legislations, just to keep the carrot dangling."
Agreed. I still fail to understand how a change in medical insurance can boost the economy or improve unemployment.
Interestingly this is the number one search result on Google for "Bill for Legal immigration"
Might well make the most of it!

Remember Lame duck session. Now imagine having twice as many members, double the number of phone calls and faxes and emails. Double the activity and contributions.
We do have to make sure that next time (read: Jan 2007) We go with a bigger organisation. What is the use of talking strategy or doing things with the same number of people.
Leave the strategy to the core team, Please help out with adding members.
Does the IV core team plan on sharing their strategy for the New Year with the new members?

There is a huge amount of $$ you have paid for Social Security and Medicare. You don't need to get back that:confused:??. This is just a part of the benefit...
For having SSN benefits, 10 years of service is (=40 credits) required on US soil. To take those benefits you do not have to be a US citizen. Except for some countries, SSN dept can send the SS check to anywhere if mailing address is provided to it. And Green Card by definition is for "Permanent Residency" meaning as long as you renew your GC, you can be in US during your whole life time without becoming US Citizen.

There are tens of thousands from retrogressed countries who have been stuck for more than 8 years (PD 01 and 02). Most of us were either stuck in namecheck or BEC blackhole through no fault or ours. Still there are others who were screwed by employers and had to reapply labor and restart the GC process. When i talk to my congressman, all they say is that the PD is not current and they cannot help.
Great point! When I reach out to the Congressman's office, none of them are aware of the inefficiencies of the last few years that has resulted in the current backlog of AOS for folks from India, China etc. For example, my case was stuck in the BEC blackhole (transferred over just when it was about to be processed by State office) for well over 3 years when there were a significant number of Green cards available. However being in EB-3 India category, the dates today are not current even for my PD of Dec 02. Unfortunately, the Congressman's aides are only aware of current status and claim helplessness to do anything until the dates progress. Given this, we really need to talk to senior officials/ Congressional Sub-Committe members who are a little more aware of the details and understand the significant waste in the past that has led to current status.
Totoro, any suggestions to overcome this issue would be welcome. Great job btw - keep it up!

I think TSC have started approving EAD filed in may. So, lets hope for the best. I hope this helps.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

I don't think it's an end of fight for IV or for that matter for us. Ability to file for I485 is just like getting out from one queue and standing in another big one. Once the folks who are stuck in backlog gets their labor will be in front of this big line as you know the priority date counts. Only advantage for the people filing 485 is an EAD, which I know is a big one. With thousands of people filing I485 in July, I believe EAD itself is going to be retrogressed.
Pls.....
Applicant1 with PD Jan 2007 PERM he files I485 gets EAD 6 months waits for GC
Applicant2 with PD Jan 2004 BEC cannot file for I485 gets his LC DEC 2007
in Sep PD will retrogress say to 2003. Applicant2 will not be able to file. Priority dates will not move again until everyone who has filed for 485 incl. applicant2 have been given a GC.
But u are right..pls everybody who getz a chance to file for 485 pls keep up the fight for those who are in BEC
