OK we may be in slight uncertainty now but if this bill comes up most of us will be in deep shit:
No H1b consulting;
change in h1b policy no new, no extensions, no transfers (crazy regulations thanks to Sanders and Durbin)
No H1b for medical residencies
No NIW for physicians
Nothing for nurses
US masters and other not H1b cap exempt
Worse retrogression (no relief)
Disaster for pending L certification and pending I 140s
No EB1 for outstanding aliens
New useless point based system (look at the point based system in Canada: PhD and masters are driving Taxis... ha!)
We must pray that this bill dies FOREVER.
We will be happiest then.

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.

Iam sorry to say that i could not navigate to certain forum postings and IV did not communicate that these are not availabe for Non - Donors.... Why this caste system?
"I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't "
This is the most ridiculous thing ever and just goes on to show why Sanju calls these people educated illiterates. Dont you have any reasoning, analytical skills - this is like the helpdesk people who know that 2+2=4 but not that 1+3=4 because no one told them so.
Donor system is like caste system, REALLY!!! Let me make it simple for your educated brain....Caste system was something that you were born into and could not change by paying money or anything else and then you were discriminated based on that....the absolute worst thing. Donor only forums are like premium content....no one is saying that you cannot look at it because you were born into something,....if you wanna see it, show me the money!
Sanju, I have seen many posts by you and although they might seem harst, its just a frustration at the desi mentality. I just hope you keep your cool and peace of mind and done mind these trollers who have nothing better to do.
To the starter of this thread and all those who think IV is closed to new ideas or dissenters....you need to learn how to put your different ideas across and criticizing contructively. Something offensive like "King has no clothes"....are you freakking kidding me....there are no Mahatma Gandhi's here to turn the other cheek.

I wanted to attend but I have pretty much exhausted all my vacation. 2 more days will be pushing it.
Also, the flight schedules to fly from Portland Oregon to D.C is so ridiculous that it takes a whole day away in flying.
Will definetely attend a rally in the east coast, or better yet will help organize one.

The reason H4's are ignored, is that 90% of them are woman. Most H1b Contractors come from third world countries. And most men would like to see their wives as housewives only. Also woman are less aware of socio-political issues. When they understand, they can't work on H4 visa, they just accept it as their fate. they never ask for more .
Unless the women on H4 starts to speak up and spread the awareness of H4 issues, getting work permit for H4 will always remain a dream. even though few woman activists are trying to lobby for it. We have educate the Congressmen that Woman on H4 needs to have Work authorization. It is not a privilege. It should be a right. I think ImmigrationVoice should put H4 Work Authorization in their agenda.

Hi,
Thought this may be some helpful information. I contacted an attorney and she showed me a recent circular (dtd. Spet 26) from AILA about premature I-485 approvals and how that can be corrected through an AILA liasion. So, Alias, looks like your attorney followed the same procedure.

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

Logiclife's post may be a little strong in words. But it wasn't done with any ill-will toward anyone. Please remember it was borne out of frustrations borne out of some volunteers playing hokey at important IV events after RSVPing to attend and volunteer.
Naturally the organizer felt frustrated at the unexpectedly low-level participation at a very important event, for which significant personal sacrifice was done.
A word of advice to everyone - Do NOT volunteer to anything unless you are 100% sure you'll be doing it. Don't volunteer 'spur of the moment' to backtrack later. It's a rude and unprofessional conduct. We are all highly-skilled professionals here, right?
Take your time ( I mean weeks, a month or two, not 10-12 months of years !), become convinced about the IV cause. If you believe in it volunteer with full heart and conviction. And once you do, keep your words and promises. Don't make empty promises that aren't kept. It creates a very bad impression about you as a person. Not everyone will publish it here, but you'll be marked off as 'all talk, no action' from that point onwards.
If you expect others to respect you, please respect others first. Be professional and considerate in your conduct. If you cannot volunteer it's fine. Please don't make others lose their interest. For if they do and abandon the cause, you'll be a loser too !

As Chanakya is still getting rave reviews :) let me break this down a little more. OPs gripe can be broken into three categories:
1. What is IV doing with all the money collected.
2. What is IVs specific plans for the future/ what has it done in the past
3. Donor forum and general compliants about the concept
# 1. I think trusting IRS and CPA will go a long way. I am not aware of any donations being collected by IV on personal names. Have you sent any money to an individual and not IV the org ?
# 2. About us lists items that IV has done in the past. Do they meet your expectations ? Maybe yes or maybe no. What does advocacy mean ? For both the points, doing some research will help. Why we did not have stellar succeses with past campaigns ? Advocacy, how quickly can we be successful. Google and find out.
#3 Donor forum. Search the forums and find out how much money was collected by campaigns mentioned by ChanduV. Pennies. Two different reasons in my opinion as to why the donor forums have been created. 1. obviously to collect donations 2. the section has 'premium' content like regular updates, quick responses from core, information which cannot be made available publicly without harming the efforts etc.
All the other things about donor forum is nothing but emotional garbage.

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?

I don't like getting my ass kicked. Hence, I refuse to fly Air India.
Last time I flew that Airline (Boston - Heathrow - Mumbai):
1. The crew disembarked at Heathrow. The transit passengers were not allowed to disembark.
2. The crew shut off the heat/power and opened the Aircraft doors (yes, it was winter).
3. They sent the cleaning staff in to clean/vaccum the plane with a lot of passengers seated.
4. At Mumbai, the airhostess was in some sort of a hurry shoving the passengers so that she could disembark first.
I've never had such experiences with AF. They are not racist. Airlines are not allowed to issue transit visas and anyone who has lived in France can tell you how insensitive and lazy their bureaucracy is.
Bad flying experiences do not equate to racism. It is strong word to use and I do not think it applies to this case. Yes, I have seen French show racism towards Africans, but this is not one such case.
There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.

i'll take this as a joke.
comments like these only shows our attitude of "i like to get my a$$ kicked. Please feel free to take a dig"
