You can't get more than 10K people to sign up to IV.
And you can't get more than 300 people to sign up for $20 per month.
What makes you think you can convince 20-30K people to move with you?
:)
If there is unity, and all of us walk out with all our money, this would definitely get the attention of the lawmakers.
I suggested the same action last year. Right now, waiting for 485 (EB 2 LC took close to 6 years) - but I feel if 20-30K of us left (and take our money with us too, don't leave it here to work for this country) because we are being screwed by the stupid immigration laws, that will have a bigger impact in changing the laws than any lobbying effort possibly would.

if its a 10 year visa...i doubt there should be a concern about visa renewal.
Hopefully in 10 years you have GC and USC :)
But to answer your question...as long as you are not overstaying the 6 months there should be no legal issues. Ofcourse there is no such guarantee as it is upto the visa issuing officer's discretion
Thanks ! Thats what I thought , but wanted to confirm with senior members.

So USCIS will never see the flowers becoz they are boxed.. and they will never get delivered becoz they are being routed from the airport itself. No major news media covered the few deliveries at USCIS.. What was the point of the campaign again?
For those of you who is interested in one line Q/A
"Is the flower campaign working? Yes"
"Are we good enough with what we have done? Not 100%"
What happened
We were at the loading dock by 10 30 am ( Delivery estimate was between 11 am and 1 pm) and DHL appeared to
have already delivered around 50 boxes once around 9 am. All the flowers we sent are boxed . The visuals will
be boxes and not flowers in the evening when the youtube video will be uploaded. UPS delivered nex. We got the
video of the whole delivery and so did the CNN-IBN/Voice of America folks. There were around 30 boxes or so from
UPS. Next Fedex delivered and there were around 10-15 boxes coming out. While we were doing the recording one of the
officers politely told us not to capture federal buildings and we told them that we were only capturing the delivery of
flowers. After this what ever truck was coming in, they were reversing and pushing back into the dock so that the
delivery cannot be taped. CNN-IBN reporter asked for permission to go inside the loading dock and she was promptly
denied any permission. Then We had a down pour for almost 20-30 minutes and we had to leave the place.
It appears that the S&H dept now knows that most of the flowers are being delivered by DHL/UPS/FEDEX, they are taking
care of the diversion at National airport it self.
In the future if any one wants to do a flower campaign, Please select 2 local florists
(only two florists, in that particular city) and have people call and place orders/online. That way
we can talk with 2 florists and track their delivery easily for picture/video. Every one who tried to call
FTD/proflowers had alot of trouble getting any thing out of them. Actually, we cant blame them because they
are not doing it locally,instead they are putting their orders via national carriers.
Where do we go from here
If people really want to go out and get the main stream media attention, DC is the perfect choice. How ever,Don't plan on a weekend. If we do it right, we could be live on TV and the whole country will ask whats going on, along with the law makers. That will offer a platform for solving the issue at its roots.If you really want to do this, Dont come up with reasons like I dont have time off for a day or I have a project due. I can understand if 1 or 2% of our active members say it, but when 98% of our active members say that I can understand what it is. May be its time we figure out whether we prefer anonymity and pontifical verbatim on the online forum to expressing our concern/disappointment openly. Do not get offended and start flaming me. Just my thoughts.

FYI -- what is I-9 and what does the employer need to do for that?
Here is the link to form I-9:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-9.pdf
It is a very simple form to verify that the employee is legally authorized to work. Every employer/HR department must have one of these for every single employee. Employers who do not deal with immigrants (like your future employer), do not pay attention to it, but they still are required to have this on file. This form is not filed with any agency, it is just on file with the employer and occassionally DOL (or probably DOS, i am not sure) may ask for it, and they have to show it to them. (like your tax documents).
Once you look at this simple form, you will know what it is for.
Good Luck for your future career.

Also all said and done CIR still remains a controversial bill, that at the very least has to be debated at length in the house to send out the right signals. If it gets passed in the lame duck, the conservatives will go to town with their story that an amnesty has been shoved down the throats of the american middle class. I doubt either the president or the democrats want that at this stage.
because he has to regain his popularity with the American people, and immigration is not a top priority for the American people, as all the election polls showed, and as the infamous Ombudsman on this site "reported" so often

I just want to point out one missing thing here. I read all postings here and you guys talking about "People like lallu, Jaya, Karunanidhi, Naidu etc,". Might be you will add some more names for this category. I am sure most of the above patriotic Indians will not like to add names like Bal Thackeray, Modi etc. Majority of you guys like to add names like Dawood ibrahim (I hate guys who kill other human being including this guy) to bad guys list. At least people like "lallu, Jaya, Karunanidhi, Naidu etc" are Ok (that does not mean they are good). They kill one or two (might be 10/50) for their self interest and money. Guys like Bal Thackeray, Modi killing entire community openly by taking Police support. Same time so called patriotic-Indians elect these guys and make chief ministers. I always wonder when Thackeray, Modi can become ministers after committing such atrocities and walk freely in India, why can't people like Dawood Ibrahim (after all he is also indian and successful in his own profession).
You guys may think that I am racist by reading above lines. From bottom of my heart I vote for punishing all bad guys ( irrespective of their religion) who harm innocent human beings. Long live India����..

The visa prorating provisions of Section 202(e) apply to allocations for a foreign state or dependent area when visa demand exceeds the per-country limit. These provisions apply at present to the following oversubscribed chargeability areas: CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, and PHILIPPINES.
5. On the chart below, the listing of a date for any class indicates that the class is oversubscribed (see paragraph 1); "C" means current, i.e., numbers are available for all qualified applicants; and "U" means unavailable, i.e., no numbers are available. (NOTE: Numbers are available only for applicants whose priority date is earlier than the cut-off date listed below.)

The Department of State has available a recorded message with visa availability information which can be heard at: (area code 202) 663-1541. This recording will be updated in the middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following month.
Employment Third Preference Other Workers Category: Section 203(e) of the NACARA, as amended by Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Employment Third Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually beginning in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as necessary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW cut-off date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002.
B. DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT (DV) CATEGORY
Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides a maximum of up to 55,000 immigrant visas each fiscal year to permit immigration opportunities for persons from countries other than the principal sources of current immigration to the United States. The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulates that beginning with DV-99, and for as long as necessary, up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas will be made available for use under the NACARA program. This reduction has resulted in the DV-2011 annual limit being reduced to 50,000. DV visas are divided among six geographic regions. No one country can receive more than seven percent of the available diversity visas in any one year.
For April, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2011 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:
Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately
AFRICA 35,450 Except: Egypt 27,600
Ethiopia 22,150
Nigeria 14,100
ASIA 19,250 Except:Bangladesh 18,350
EUROPE 23,200
NORTH AMERICA (BAHAMAS) 8
OCEANIA 1,000
SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 1,075
Entitlement to immigrant status in the DV category lasts only through the end of the fiscal (visa) year for which the applicant is selected in the lottery. The year of entitlement for all applicants registered for the DV-2011 program ends as of September 30, 2011. DV visas may not be issued to DV-2011 applicants after that date. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2011 principals are only entitled to derivative DV status until September 30, 2011. DV visa availability through the very end of FY-2011 cannot be taken for granted. Numbers could be exhausted prior to September 30.
C. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK
CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN MAY
For May, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2011 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:

OCEANIA 1,175
SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 1,150
D. RETROGRESSION OF FAMILY PREFERENCE CUT-OFF DATES
Continued heavy applicant demand for numbers in the Family First (F1) preference category has required the retrogression of the Worldwide, China-mainland born, and India cut-off date for the month of April.
Further retrogressions cannot be ruled out should demand continue at the current levels for some categories and countries.

I read the views .. that talking to lawmakers makes the difference.
I'm a little surprised here.
The long wait for the GC is an age old issue. I know folks who came here in the 80's and 90's and went through the same issues. There were brief periods when the process did speed up .. but by and large it has been the way it is.
Lawmakers can say .. 'oh I did not know it took 7 years to get the green card." But I find that tough to believe that no one knew this until we went and said this to them? (h1 quotas get extinguished in a day .. and everyone knows this ..
The situation is still the same. CIR also puts out there .. the need for Immigration reforms. So pretty much everybody out there knows what the issue is. Now what can we do to make them move on it quickly.
I agree that getting together educated folks is difficult .. since they have no Union (like workers) and are not as close as blue collared folks. And that's the main reason why an illegal immigrant rally can get a million people on the street .. whereas a legal immigrant one gets in a 1000 people or 2000.
To summarize:
1. I think people in concern know that the immigration process is inefficient
2. Unless there is sufficient sustained pressure, nothing can change.
I would say this .. the question is this ... how can we get a huge rally going in key cities in successive weeks, so we get noticed and we can send across a stronger message?

I agree that getting together educated folks is difficult .. since they have no Union (like workers) and are not as close as blue collared folks. And that's the main reason why an illegal immigrant rally can get a million people on the street .. whereas a legal immigrant one gets in a 1000 people or 2000.
To summarize:
1. I think people in concern know that the immigration process is inefficient
2. Unless there is sufficient sustained pressure, nothing can change.
I would say this .. the question is this ... how can we get a huge rally going in key cities in successive weeks, so we get noticed and we can send across a stronger message?

Lets see how much of this bill actually makes it out. As far as I can see, I am prefectly fine with refiling my application under this new category. The hell with EB based green cards.

If we reapply under this section, we will be competing with the massive illegal-to-AOS guys based on our Receipt date for adjudication.
If we get recapture provision in this bill ( most likely ), that would be our best bet.

For upper middle class, OBC shouldn't matter much since you can afford to enroll your children in private schools and have them work in private sector once they reach an appropriate age. If they are US citizens, they can come back to the US anytime for education and/or employment.
Talking of reservation and discrimination, what legal immigrants are facing in this country is not much different in my opinion. You can't even get your driver's license easily, let alone permanent residence. Most of us are here by choice even though we face all these issues in our daily life.

Let me guess, you are a pakistani terrorist. Now you are jealous that how come an Indian muslim win 2 oscars? How will you give out your hateful message to other pakistanis terrorists that indian muslims are being torchured, so you have to "save" indian muslims. Too bad, no pakistani got an oscar. I know why, because the terror capital of the world is going down the drain pretty fast.

Sanju,
You are trying to make a point that Pakistan can not preach hatred on the basis of the fact that Indian Muslims are tortured. Your present accolades at Academy awards as a sign of progress and thereby trying to neutralize Pakistan's reasons!
But, your response to buddysinfo is a totally misdirected missile dude.....Watch out, you may have many coming towards you with equal speed with same or more venom!
Fo record, I think ARR's music in Dile Se, Roja, Duet were much better than SDM.

PennDot Issued 1 year driver's license for both me and my wife. We took H1B 8th year original receipt notice, original employer verification letter and passports. PennDot issued 1 year license based on that. Everything took less than 15 minutes.Please make sure your employer verification letter states your employment duration i.e. how long your company intents to employ you.

mnq1979 you have posted your question is the wrong thread and you might not get any response here since this thread is about gun ownership; ppl who are not interested in the gun ownership topic will not visit this thread.

Guys,
Based on the posts here and elsewhere,even I had reached a conclusion that if your PD is not current and if you get married when its retrogressed,you will have to wait till it becomes current to add your spouse to your I-485.
But recently,I was talking to a friend.He was in exact same situation couple of years back and was thinking he cannot add his spouse.But when he contacted his attorney,he/she said there is nothing like that and he went ahead and added her to his 485 without issues. This is fact.As per his attorney any addition to primary application is allowed no matter PD is current or not. The thing is, it went off fine and he has not got his GC yet,but his wife's 485 is also filed.
Now I am not sure whom to believe.Is there any specfic USCIS faq or comments which clarifies this issue?
rgds,

Could it just be because there are a lot of immigrants from that state in India?
The pattern of these killings is so strange that most of the people that got killed are from AP.
My friends from AP, Be careful. They are coming after you :)
