How about having a monthy/semi monthly conf call (similar to Rajiv Khanna's call), that will probably help in making every one aware of the structure and heirarchy in IV. I am sure a lot of us want to do some thing...posting 100 times to get noticed can't really be the best way to manage the ideas.
I got a feeling that some members feel that IV run a secret community with-in IV (I am not sure how many watched the movie "The Stepford Wives" ).
I think that core members and volunters knows strategy and action plan well before others. I think there would be hierarchy within that also.
I dont see anything wrong in that.
Here I think what goes on internally.. If you are more active in the threads you would sure get a message from IV moderators about ur willingness to volunteer. IV core seriously does not have the ability to read the psyches of each individaul member and invite them int to the secret soceity(?). Only possible way to know for them is how much active you are for a while. i dont think there are any specific paramters for that , it is a matter IV core getting convinced that u r serious enough. Not a day or two.. How long .. and how serious you are with ur ideas...
About funds .. none of the organizations declare their monetory dealings openly. There is a youtube video by logiclife on this. see it if u have not laready seen it.
Keep up the good work.. Sure you would become the member of secret soceity soon :).
I read sometime back nixtor became IV core member recently..

They have to abolish the H1B programme completely since they can no longer prevent its abuse. They need to have a new process in place in which scrutiny occurs for each application of a foreign worker!
Actually abolishing the whole H1B thing is theonly way. Actually IV should actively start lobbying against any H1B increase. Then only there is a chance of of corp america supporting any GC reform.
IV should work on highlighting the H1B abuse that is going on, in the media
so that the whole H1B will become so radioactive they will be forced to scale down or reform the H1B.
H1B visa is the main reason for EB problems.

This is great... I don't think we could have asked for anything more. numbers USA is already harping about it. But no guest worker thing makes it much less controversial.
However I think our biggest challenge is in the house. So we will have to lobby hard to the house members who are going to be in the conference.
This bill has some very good things for graduate students. And they are the most organized ones. So we can team up with student associations to mount a big grass roots campaign.

eb3napa,
thanks for the clarification. I have a BE and an MBA form India with over 6 yrs experience in the USA and elsewhere. Not sure if i qualify as advanced degree.
So peopel with advanced degree can move out of EB3 or any EB quota is it ? Their PD will be current ?
Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.

If that is so the capital preserved by not doing an MBA in a top ten school which I estimate to be about 60-70K if I am not mistaken might be put to another use.
What do you guys think about this line of argument.
I agree with this. At Cornell, the cost is 90K, and then on their website, they say something like this: after getting our MBA you are ready for anything!
Yeah right! :)
A lot of hard data shows that that is anything but the truth. That kind of money can be spent in buying a house for instance or something that is much more worthwhile. Nowadays, there are jokes about MBAs not being able to open a pdf document.
But I must add that after you've spent 10-15 years in industry, and you want to climb the corporate ladder, an MBA from Harvard or Sloan (or the very few top schools) will definitely help. The returns fall drastically as the rank of the school falls. Surprisingly, the fees don't fall that drastically, and that's why one has to be careful.
As far as ranks, created by US News etc, go: here is the thing. Arizona State is ranked in the top 50. But does it have the same reputation as MIT? No. So even if the ranking is in the top few, make sure the reputation is truly high. And that means three or four schools: Harvard, Wharton, Sloan ...

long story short - the grief of the anti-immigrant is... i can no longer view what's happening behind the scenes :(:( i was happy to keep quite and watch whats going on... but now i have to create commotion and risk being banned :(:(
About me: i m not a "donor" but I've donated in the past... and I've no problems with IV having donor only updates/discussions, because i know the simple fact - what the core and donors do, will in no way harm my interest :)
I don't participate in the effort as much... then i don't have any right to bark at ones who are doing it for me...

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
No offense taken, we Brits suck

In all seriousness, I haven't had time to celebrate or let it sink in. That'll come soon enough, after the events of last week have settled
I'm not going anywhere though. My battle may be over, but there's plenty of fight left in me :)

:rolleyes: Hi frens,
My employer filed I-140 on July 12th and at Nebraska Service Center which must have been deleivered by now. And my employer persist that they cannot file I-485 until I get receipt notice. I even came to know on another thread even without receipt notice I-485 can be filed with an application as a cover letter.
So can I do that myself without the help of the employer or I have to wait for the receipt notice.
Is there any way we can get the info by USCIS by calling them or by taking InfoPass Appointment and asking them..
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Q-7 (07/19/2007): Since I could not file I-485 in July, I filed a stand-alone I-140 petition last week. I have yet to receive the Receipt Notice. What do I have to do?
A-7: Believe it or not, this is one of the most common questions I have received in the email. Without I-140 Receipt Notice and case number, there is absolutely no way you can file a stand-alone I-485 application. Assuming that you filed earlier and at least you found the receipt number through the cancelled check, it is still risky to file a stand-alone I-485 under the given circumstances. You can ask the USCIS "interfile to XXXXXX" without a copy of the pending I-140 receipt notice, but it is still not recommended. The option may be filing a new concurrent I-140/I-485. But predicament is lack of "original" labor certification. Service Centers have been denying such I-140 petition in a number of cases for lack of original labor certification application. The AILA may attempt to find an answer for this situation, but under the circumstances, you may not have any option other trying filing with the best evidence of I-140 petition filing proof including a copy of the cancelled filing check from the bank, federal or ups overnight delivery tracking record, complete copy of I-140 petition and supporting documentation, and I-485 application and documentation. It is better trying than doing nothing at this point. Or you can wait until first or second week to see whether you will receive the receipt notice of I-140 petition and file I-485 applicatiopn with this receipt notice. Inasmuch as you were eligible in July under the July VB, the extended period of I-485 application may work.

Even mine is EB2 with level II. I did not see a single case from my company with Level III or Level IV but still a lot of them are EB2.
My 140 approval says: Mem of Profession w/Adv Deg, or Exceptional ability Sec 203 (b) (2).
My understanding: this is EB2.

Here is the deal, the idea of state chapters is for grass roots organization. We can't reach out to everyone if we don't have remote hubs, it is as simple as that. We recently revived the WA state chapter and I keep sending emails, one or two respond, the rest are silent readers. However they did join the group and we are now 30+ members. Now, we plan to have a conference call and then we are planning to get together within 2 weeks to meet all of these members. No one is forced, but we would send out and invitation to every member. Then we come out with certain agendas and action items that fall within IV goals. Like one of the main things is to meet local law makers within each state for follow up. This is best done at state level. So I understand the part that you care confused is nothing is happening and you just keep writing. I know the feeling but can you get everyone together, can you get to meet them one by one. Trust me, once you get the ball rolling, before you know, you will have a big strong chapter that makes it easier to pass targeted messages and so on. When IV events are held in a national level, information and action items can be distributed to state chapter leaders who can then follow up.
But yes, it is hard work in the beginning to get every one on board, trust me, I am fighting the same battle, but hard work pays off!
Well siad - I am also of the same humble opinion. It is hard work now. Mobilizing people is no easy task, but we have to and I know we can do it.
Once we start our activities at the state level, we can make it easy at the national level.
We can let IV core concentrate on their high level agenda while at the local level we can motivate and mobilize the TEAM.
Together we forrm TEAM IV

You are right but unfortunately history has thought us that when it comes down to GC versus H1b everybody is willing to throw GC under the bus to get H1b provisions.
This current bill is no exception, h1 increased from 65,000 to 115000 with triggers to increse it to 185000, but no provisions for green cards.
a exclusive emendment with GC will be the only way out. nobody is offering such amendment and if somebody offers it might be ordered to lie on table.
Text of almost all filed amendments is available in congressional record on Thomas. This one has been available since Friday.
S.A. 1249. Sponsored by Maria Cantwell and co-sponsored by Cornyn, Leahy and Hatch
It creates a parallel merit-based employer sponsored category without touching the existing merit-based self-sponsored category.
The merit based self-sponsored category is the crappy points system. This is in parallel to that, without touching anything in points system. They have created an exact parallel replica of today's EB1, EB2 and EB3 system with labor certification and the whole enchilada where you need employer sponsor and there is not points or anything.
EB1 = 33.3%, EB2 = 33.3% and EB3 = 33.3%. Definiation of EB1, EB2 and EB3 would be the same as it is today.
Total quota of 140,000 with automatic recapture of previous years unused GCs.
Exemptions for US masters and non-US STEM masters with have 3 years experience in that STEM field.The risk factor:
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.
