if you are a desi no reason for you to not know hindi mate....hamara bharat mahan
Well, I've got a few reasons.
1. I don't like the attitude that comes along with the people that speak it.
2. I just don't like the language.
3. I don't live anywhere close to a place where I must know Hindi to survive.
4. The Indian Constitution recognises English as a subsidiary official language.
5. If I have survived as long as I have without knowing Hindi, I'm sure I can survive without knowing Hindi for the rest of my life.
Thaai mannae vanakkam!

Hope your ideas or similar ones work. But seriously�.. if someone isn�t contributing 50/100 bucks, will he/she be willing to get IV credit cards.
From my experience I would like to say contribution is simple. Hard part for me was to convince myself that this was right thing to do. I don�t think it will be about monitory constraints for most of us.
While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

I posted this below when everyone was busy talking about lawsuit against and USCIS, and there wasn't a single response to this!
07-03 12:01 AM
what is the lawsuit and who gets benefited?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My labor was pending in Philly BEC from 2003 May. Last month they asked us to do a TR and we're in the process, though my original LCA was filed in RIR. So I didn't get a chance to file my papers on 29th June. As thomachan72 said, there are many IV members whose labor is still in BEC.
Tell me, what is the lawsuit and who gets benefited? For those who are on B1, L1 and filed on 29th June? (No offence to any individuals)
What about members like me?
What about the members who were not smart enough to file on 29th June?
I’m a contributing member of IV and IV’s major agenda was the legislation, which allows filing of AOS, even with retrogression. If we win this lawsuit do I get a chance to file my I-485? Or the unfortunate members who haven’t filed on 29th June?
IV shouldn’t deviate from it’s agenda and leave the lawsuit to AILA attorneys who where dreaming about windfall with the announcement of EB visa number availability. Why would IV collect money from members for somebody else’ cause?
Dear members, please don’t take this personally, I was forced to express my feeling when I read all these posts!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Injustice :mad: for people with priority dates in '02, '03, '04 etc. who are still waiting for their labor certs to be processed using the traditional process - we want to file a case against DOL's lethargy - Let us join together and file a case against DOL and bring justice to this unjustified system.

Hi
I am trying to donate $50 but every time I go through the "Donate" link it takes me to paypal site, where it says that the transaction could not be completed.
Did anybody else saw this problem?
Can I simply send the money to donations@immigrationvoice.org? The last time I contributed using paypal this was the email address that the money was sent to, the business member id was 878.

Hi All,
Thank you for the overwhelming response. I did skim through the responses and agree with most of the suggestions/comments if not all.
Someone had brought the issue of FIFO and if there is anything in the law that states that FIFO has to be followed. I am not a law expert myself and cannot comment on if there is any such law. But what I am basing is more on the everyday commensense behaviour that all we humans follow for any queue. FIFO is the predominant thing being done for any queue and that will be the most resonable way to process be it a bunch of applicantions waiting on a queue or to service a number of people waiting on a queue in a bank or post office or whereever it might be. That is the fair, unbiased and non-preferential way of doing things. Isn't it?
I want to make sure to convey the point that I first of all wanted to bring this issue to everyone's attention. May be my message was worded strongly, but doesn't mean that I am not flexible.
I thought suing DOL is one of the options. Of course if there are other viable alternatives that will be less demanding, less expensive and will take a more non-confronting approach but still could have an equal impact in terms of resolving the issue amicably then I am all for it. But then the obvious question is what are the other equally good options? Someone mentioned about a petition. So what is a petition and how do we do it? Also mentioned was writing letters to congressmen etc. So who do we contact and how? Please, please anyone having the information please share.
One more thing is that I am all for a dialog with IV core members and their guidance for this. Since I started this thread doesn't mean that I wanted to sideline IVs, but this is the only way I thought I could communicate to the IV platform about the agony of this issue and how people have been affected by this. So I am all for talking with IV core members on this. But please let me know how I could do that?
So please let us start acting now: The list of next possible steps (in no particular order) are:
- Decide if there are viable alternatives to a lawsuit that is more non-confronting and first try them if possible
- Get the support of IV core team for this
- If no other alternatives are available then consider filing a case. Consult an attorney for this
- Raise more awareness about this and get allt he support we can
- Raise some money towards this cause
So please please provide more inputs so that we could start making some real progress. Thanks!!
Hello Risker,
After going through all postings, it is wise to consider the following actions in order:
1. Contact the IV core team and tell our problem. Ask their input about what we can do and whom we need to contact. They may let us in correct direction.
2. In the meantime, Get the details of peoples whose case are still in backlog centre.
3. Finally, nothing works and no one help us, file a lawsuit. (As I dont know anything about the lawsuit here, many of them mentioned that the lawsuit should be done by the employer and there is more possibility of loosing.. We should not lose heart on that. In the suit, we need to ask them to make it current and keep the same filing fees until 30 Sep 07)
P.S. As one of the posting mentioned, we may also consider waiting till Sep 07 before filing lawsuit. Because DOL promised to clear all cases before 30 Sep 07. If they dont then our case become more stronger. Till then we need to contact concerned people (like IV, congressman etc) and collect all infromation.

Do you think this applies universally or just one off?
Others have been denied. I sent this info to the lawyers to see if it makes any difference to our case.

SInce democrats gained the contorl on house, they will wait till the next congress starts to pass releif to immigration issue. THis way, they can take the credit for it and campaign it for their next election. Republicans are stuck now. They neither want to pass it nor want it to supress. They dont want the democrats to gain the credit whatsoever. If republicans cannot pass it this year they will do everything to stop it in next congress session if they have majority in senate. It is vey comlicated and sensitive issue and we have to wait to see how the business people push the lawmakers. None other then business tycoons can make some impact with this kind of power split in senate / congress with a lame duck president for next two years.
I heard Nancy say she would get started with some legislation that both parties and president agrees and she mentioned CIR. I think, if the republicans are smart they will quickly pass a version of it that they still can control - during the lame duck session when the old house returns for a few days.
But the biggest new problem will be suedo retrogression due to bottlenecks at Service centers! so near yet so far!

Based on Visa Bulletin report, it seems like massive retrogression is likely for EB3 as well as EB2 :( for the rest of the year. Many have ported and some hibernating applications are now active. :(
When I said that there should be one Item in IV agenda to Ban Porting, everyone got mad.
I still say that they should be allowed to port but should go back in line. they are disturbing the balance. I am not against them, if they were EB2 candidates why they didnt file on EB2 category at first, if now they think they are qualified then they should start new process.
BTW. they will create a big retrogression for EB2 then EB2 people have to port to EB3
Red dots are welcome.
Thanks

e) MS in English
2) Any person with an advanced degree in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) from a non-US university (i.e. minimum of 18 years of education: 12 years of school + 4 years of bachelors + 2 years of masters) + minimum 3 years of work experience in US in a "related" field. There fore the following would qualify as examples:
a) 4 year bachelors + 2 years of M. Tech in Chemical Engineering from China + 3 years as a chemical engineer in a company in US.

Can you please explain how is this related?
Our I-140 has already been filed but we dont have receipt notice for that.
We are wondering how to file I-485 without I-140 receipt notice?
This may be useful to understand a little more about e-filing of I-140 for those of who doesn't know much because the employer/lawyer doesn't give u full information. There appears to be no e-filing for I-485. Anyway navigate thru the USCIS pages for more info.

Check the instructions for the form you are E-Filing to determine what supporting documentation, if any, is required.
Instructions for Submitting Supporting Documentation for E-Filed Applications Only
Review the instructions for your E-Filed form to determine what supporting documentation is required.
Please Note: If you E-File Form I-90, you must submit all required initial evidence and supporting documentation at the time of your in-person appearance at your local ASC. Please see the Form-Specific Instructions for E-Filing I-90.
Gather your supporting documentation for your E-Filed application.
Originals and Copies. In almost all cases, submit a photocopy of your supporting document to the USCIS. For more information, see How Do I Know If I Need Original Documents? If form instructions state that a copy of a document may be filed with an application, and you choose to send USCIS the original, USCIS may keep that original for our records.
Translations. Any foreign language document must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and correct, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate the foreign language into English.
Print a copy of your Confirmation Receipt notice and attach it as a cover page (or first page) to your supporting documentation package.
DO NOT include a copy of your E-Filed application with your supporting documentation.
If you E-Filed several applications concurrently (see E-Filing Forms Concurrently), you will have a Confirmation Receipt notice for each application submitted.
Include the Confirmation Receipt notice(s) as the first page of the supporting documentation for each application.
DO NOT include any paper-based applications or fees with your supporting documentation for the E-Filed application.
NOTE: All Attorneys and Organizational Representatives E-Filing an application or petition on behalf of a client, MUST perform the following steps:
Generate a copy of the G-28 (it will be generated as part of the PDF file application after you click the �Finish� button).
Confirm that the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information does appear on the G-28.
If the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information does NOT appear on the G-28, print out the G-28 (it will printout with the PDF file application).
Make a copy of the G-28 for each application electronically submitted.
Fill in the Applicant/Beneficiary/Petitioner name and address information by hand.
Sign each G-28.
Submit the completed and signed G-28s to the address on the Confirmation Receipt notice with the required supporting documentation.
If you E-File Form I-907 by itself or concurrently with any other application, please see the list of Special Mailing Addresses.
Keep a copy of your Confirmation Receipt notice(s) and application(s) for your records, noting what supporting documentation you mailed and the date you mailed it. You may wish to make a copy of the entire package before mailing it.
Place all supporting documentation into one package and mail it to the address provided on the Confirmation Receipt notice. If you E-File Form I-907 by itself or concurrently with any other application, please see the list of Special Mailing Addresses.

Seems to me , either you are paid by AF to defend them here or you are one of those who like pizza than roti. The moment these things happen to you , you will be shouting on top of your lungs but when it happens with your fellow countrymen you can't empathize.. are you so insensitive or just like to be French.
The 2 things I like about france is a french kiss and having a french kiss with a french chick
I find your quote to be insulting to a large group of persons, some of whom could be potential members of IV. If anyone had made such a comment about Telgu-speakers or Punjabi-speakers, there would be outrage.
Last I checked, this was not supposed to be desi-centric forum.

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.
