Campaigns are good. But to solve this problem we have to go back to the basics of human nature, specifically how or what motivates politicians -
1. Votes
2. Money, Fame, Power
3. Good publicity or fear of bad publicity
We can not give #1 or #2 to the politicians. So our only option is #3. This was the reason why the flower campaign had worked, they feared bad pubilicity.
Again, they will not move even a single inch unless there is some motivation and as I said above our only option is #3.
And for doing #3, the community must cooperate.
If you have noticed, IV has done various campaigns in the past, though results are not guaranteed, enough publicity and buzz has been created and now we have more people uniting.
It takes time for big things to happen.
Mountains can be moved only by motivation, in fact #1 and #2 can never move mountains.
in 1970s, America opened up green cards to doctors, engineers and chartered accountants from India. A lot of doctors migrated that time and after a while there was heavy resistance from local people but govt cannot stop people from coming, so they implemented harsh rules to appease locals. One such rule was, even if you are a professional - you cannot take a job offer without going through the employment exchange. And in the employment exchange the job they give does not necessarily be the job that you can do. This discouraged new people and many people went back though they had green cards because they did not want to ruin their careers. Everything was good till you land here and no one told u about this situation. People never realised it till it hit them hard and as usual our community is scared to rise and no unity and no one speaks the truth, everyone just painting a rosy picture that they are doing great.
So, I would only say "Don't look at the result", just keep doing the effort. Try to build trust among the community. In fact you will be surprised to see that it is easier talking to the govt to help you rather than talking to the many unmotivated people who want benefit but are not motivated to do something about it. Keep those people in mind and do somehing to change their minds and set an example.

If they were submitted on 8/30/ and it's not cleared yet and your derivatives are cleared then more than likely you are stucked, there is some probability that you might be cleared in few weeks depending on number of hits generated against your name and avaialibility of the documents needed to be refered by fbi to clear you. However you dont need to worry much because now a days fbi seems to getting work lot faster then it used to. Also since july fbi has increased the fees that they charge USCIS to do the check which has increased the staff at NNCP and so the efficiency. I would suggest for you to wait 60 days and try again. Hopefully you have good news. I have been waiting 35 months.

current Visa bullettin does not give any info about next months...its talks about other workers..can you point to the sentence where it says it going to be april01-nov 01??..
Besides..you have been waiting very long from 01..just like me..incruiating..wait..
Here's a quote from the Sept Visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4328.html
The Mexico F2A and Employment Third preference cut-off dates are �unavailable� for both August and September, since those FY-2008 annual limits have been reached. The Visa Office had originally anticipated that this would be a temporary situation. Then with the start of the new fiscal year in October the cut-off dates would have returned to those which had applied during June. However, continued heavy demand in those categories may require the establishment of cut-off dates which are earlier than those which had applied in June. A formal decision determination of the October cut-off dates will not be possible until early September.
June cutoff for EB3-I was Nov 2001. So worse than this means, the cutoff will be eariler than Nov 2001. And I picked Apr 2001 as the lower bound just because, Apr 2001 is a very well known time frame where the PDs just hung there forever for EB3....dig around in the forums to know more about Apr 2001 and its relation to EB3, backlogs, etc....

I plan to talk to my lawyer today. My past experience is that lawyers don't give all the options themselves. You have to know what options you have and then they will give advice on that.
So if anybody has gone through similar situation, please give your inputs. I am sure many other people can benefit from this information.

I am getting ready to file I-485. Is it mandatory to apply I-131(EAD) and I-765 (AP)? I got 3yr extension which is valid till 2009 and i am not planning to use EAD anytime soon.
What if i just apply for I-485 in the beginning and apply for EAD or AP whenever there's need? Please let me know.
Thanks
You can apply EAD/AP whenever you want to, provided you have filed I485. It need not be exactly at the time the I485 is filed.

Over the past couple of days I have had 10 of my friends/colleagues who have signed the letter and they have been mailed out to the president. I also have copies of them to mail out to IV once I have all that I can get..
I plan to call my Senators & Congressman's office's today too. I believe we need to get through to our friends and colleagues and talk about the issues in this letter. I have yet to come across one person who does not agree that our situation needs the attention of the administration.
I know I can get a few more of these letters signed by the end of this week.
Anyone out there who has more letters going out??:D
Lets have some healthy competition!

Hi all,
I am planning for a trip to india and get my first visa stamping done some time in may. My visa was approved in july 2007. Does anyone think that this issue will prolong till may? Or will all these database updates for the PIMS verification checks be complete by then? Any inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Bhagyesh,
From what I have gathered in the PIMS ruling is that cases approved after the PIMS ruling implementation will be put in the database first followed by cases that were approved prior...
Anyone else gather this from the PIMS ruling please let me know...and correct me if I am wrong.

I wish I had all the data on his reporting for H1B visas. He always makes it sound like there is unlimited H1B visa available for foreign workers and nothing can be further from the truth.
I hate to watch his show anymore but I'll from now on just to report the lies and inconsistencies he reports in his program. Let's do a "Expose Lou" campaign. I would love to spend any free time I have on this noble cause.

JUAN GONZALEZ: No, exactly. And I have a different perspective on that�
LOU DOBBS: Sure.
JUAN GONZALEZ: So you�ll indulge me.
LOU DOBBS: Sure.
JUAN GONZALEZ: But the fact is that immigration policy in this country has always been a means of rallying anger among the public.
LOU DOBBS: Oh, nonsense.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes, it has.
LOU DOBBS: Nonsense.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Lou, let me finish.
LOU DOBBS: First of all�
JUAN GONZALEZ: Let me finish, Lou, please.
LOU DOBBS: Ridiculous. But, alright, go ahead.
JUAN GONZALEZ: The Chinese�in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act�what was the claim against the Chinese, small population of Chinese immigrants? The claim was that they were involved in drugs, that they were bringing crime, that they were a danger to the country, and the country passed in 1882 a Chinese Exclusion Act. The same thing in the 1920s.
LOU DOBBS: Are you holding me responsible? Or are�
JUAN GONZALEZ: No, no.
LOU DOBBS: Because I can�t find germane or relevant point there.
JUAN GONZALEZ: What I�m telling you is that this has been done over and over again. This has been done over and over again. And precisely�
LOU DOBBS: Juan, according to you�
JUAN GONZALEZ: Let me finish, Lou. Precisely because�because the country is an immigrant nation, it�s easy to divide the people along ethnic and racial lines over the issue of immigration.
LOU DOBBS: You�re the only one doing it.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Over the issue of immigration.
LOU DOBBS: You�re the only one doing it.
JUAN GONZALEZ: No, I�m not. No, I�m not.
LOU DOBBS: You�re socio-ethnocentric to the point of absurdity.
JUAN GONZALEZ: You know very well that 75% of the undocumented immigrant population in this country comes from Latin America. And not only that, 65% comes from one country: Mexico.
LOU DOBBS: That is right.
JUAN GONZALEZ: So the crux of the illegal immigration problem in the United States is the question of Mexico and the United States�
LOU DOBBS: Correct.
JUAN GONZALEZ: �and the relationships between Mexico and the United States. Mexicans are the larger source of immigration to this country from any nationality.
LOU DOBBS: What is your point?
JUAN GONZALEZ: So that the question is that there is a huge disparity between the economic levels in Mexico and the economic levels in the United States. And you have properly said many times on your show that American companies are creating the problems, rather than helping to alleviate the problems. All that would be needed to do is to raise the economic level in Mexico and the entire illegal immigration population problems would decline in this country. And not only that, but the country, if it had a higher immigration quota in connection with�
LOU DOBBS: Are you giving me instruction, or are you telling me what we agree upon?
JUAN GONZALEZ: No, we don�t agree. We don�t agree, because you are demonizing illegal immigration as a separate issue, rather than dealing with the realities that Mexico and the United States must find a way to build better closer economic ties and raise the levels for both countries.
LOU DOBBS: Your view is�as I take it, you and Amy believe that if we just had more illegal immigration, the crime rate would drop and the economy would boom in this country.
JUAN GONZALEZ: No.
LOU DOBBS: That�s, on its face, absurd.
JUAN GONZALEZ: No.
LOU DOBBS: Secondly, I have, over the�over five years in reporting on this issue, repeatedly pointed out that the investment in Mexico by the United States has been paltry and absurd and diverted to China, instead of to this hemisphere, and particularly Mexico. The results could have been quite different. So when you talked about these issues, you�re preaching to the choir, and you know that. The fact that you would focus on a couple of reports on tuberculosis, leprosy, the issue of the CCC in a flash�what amounts to a flash frame, folks�
AMY GOODMAN: And all the guests connected to it since.
LOU DOBBS: And all of those guests. How many would you say? Five?
AMY GOODMAN: Oh, I can keep going. I just thought�
LOU DOBBS: I would like�
AMY GOODMAN: �I should give someone else a chance here to have�
LOU DOBBS: No, really, I think you should keep going, because the reality is, illegal immigration in this country is not going to be overwhelmed by this nonsense. The reality is, the Southern Poverty Law Center is an advocacy group right now. The ADL is an advocacy group right now. Pro-illegal immigration, pro-open borders, both of you, ideologically�I understand that, and I can deal with that.
But the reality is, there is such a thing as the national interest. There is such a thing as the common good. And it�s not ethnocentric. It�s not group and identity politics. It�s all about this country, because this political system makes this economy possible. And the fact that people are starving in Mexico�and my heart goes out to them�the reality is there are five-and-a-half billion people in the world who are more impoverished than those folks in Mexico. And that land bridge does not give Felipe Calderon or Vicente Fox or any other group of activists the right to dictate the US immigration policy. That�s the reality.

See, that's the reason I think the lawsuit idea has issues. I suspect the lawsuit may end up making life difficult for a lot of genuine cases without actually achieving what you set out to achieve.
But I have no data one way or the other.
The question is how would you identify which jobs are genuine and which are not. In addition, the question the porting comes at I-485 stage.
So in other words there could very well be job out there and you won't know till its I-140 is approved if it is for porting reasons.
Also, a good/established company may most likely will not file a new labor and I-140 for a person because it an unncessary expenditure for them.
So guess who are the people who are most benefitted by this...

I applied for EAD on 03/22 online and the service center is Nebraska. My current one expires on 07/07. I applied exactly 3 and 1/2 months before. I checked the USCIS web site, it says one need to apply 6 months before the expiry of current one. I'm little worried as I'm not sure if I can get my EAD in time before 07/07. Any inputs as to what can I do in case if I don't get my EAD in time
