well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

It is really sad.
Pls keep in touch with IV forum. The deadline for this reporter has expired but I will keep you in mind for any future story. your story will be useful for reporters covering this cause and ultimately will reach lawmakers and public through media reports. I wish things could work out for you in US. It is sad and there are thousands of people like you with badly affected personal lives due to the broken immigration system. A lot of my motivation to work for IV also comes from coming across people like you and thus feel strongly to do something to solve problems affecting each one of us in the IV community we have all built. Good luck and best wishes.

Thanks to all for your support. :)The first step I would like to propose is that we need to establish a group called Team IV Coordinators. Those who are interested in being part of this group, please send me a private message with your e-mail address so that I can set up a group e-mail to present and discuss the ideas to get us started. The Coordinator Group should be Team IV members whether you run/walk or not. I will take the lead but of course, I would love to have a core group to bounce ideas off of and to have as a resource pool.
I agree with picking 3 national events as previously suggested, one on east coast, one west coast and one centrally located.
Please send me Private Messages with your e-mail or contact info so that we can get the Coordinator Group up and running to set out the parameters of Team IV.
Thanks!! :)

Yes, it is publicly available here...

The testimony is at the right.
One quick question: is this report publicly available, i.e. can we send it as is to the media, or are there any copyright etc issues?

NIW is tricky. As you have PhD, you can apply yourself (w/o sponser) in EB1 Researcher catagory, if you do that kind of job.
The only self-sponsoring category are: EB2-NIW and EB1-EA (Extra Ordinary). EB1-EA is harder but EB2-NIW is not easy either. NIW will have to argue why labor certification should be waived. Talk to a lawyer. You will have to show YOUR work not just the field you work in has merit and in national interest. And you bring unique abilities to the US. Your past achievements and not future potential counts more.

Do you really think IV can convince USCIS to do a regulation change? Hee Hee...
Who can get regulation change done? Companies like Microsoft, Oracle etc...they have the bandwith and financial muscle to lobby and make regulation change happen....
IV can grab and influence media...let's just leave it at that....AND BOY WHAT A JOB IS IT DOING!!....HATS OFF TO IT....THE FLOWER CAMPAIGN WAS A GENIUS IDEA.....AS LONG AS ONE CAN INFLUENCE NY TIMES/WASHINGTON POST/NPR TO REPORT ON IT....THEY HAVE SCORED 100 out of 100 in their media blitz!

I think the new name check change, will help the system work FIFO.
This is what the system is intended to do.
Also, as time goes by, this will make the PD more transparent, so instead of having dreams and making wild guesses, there can be somewhat logical guessing.
I know it is not possible as it is USCIS and anything can be true.
But i am really happy for people with older PD's who have been struck with FBI Name checks.
Please help IV with the letter campaign and also lets get together and try to make the system more transparent and open.
GO IV GO. TOGTHER WE CAN.

If you are talking about the discussion. then am referring to the items and not the discussions.Have I missed these items some where that are like the above. Then we are good to go. Can you let me know if the action items already there tries to encompass all thes issues and possible solutions. Ofcourse I know every one is talking and discussing but didn't see a concrete list except a description on the front page saying we are fighting for the cause of GC aspirants and some smaller descriptions.

Hi Prinive,
I too am in the same club, having a priority date of Sept 2001. I am still awaiting my I-140 approval, filed in March 2007.
Hoping things would be sorted out sooner rather than later....I am in EB-3....How about U??

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
That is a good point.
But now its too late. Changing names means:
1. We have to change names everywhere, including the name in the registration of the organization in New Jersey where its registered as non-profit, name change in other places like IRS where we got approved as a non-profit organization for tax purposes, in next year's tax return, etc.
2. Changing names in other reports we file at Federal Govt.
3. Letting all offices and other org we are working with know about this.
You would be surprised how much awareness and knowledge is there about Immigration Voice in the staff of various Senators and senior house members. Most of the Judiciary counsel staffers know about immigration voice. Since so much work has gone into building the name-recognition .... A VERY IMPORTANT ASSET... it would be tough to transfer all the name recognition to a new name.

After reading other posts I am inclined ot think may be only SSN Taxes issue can be appropriately presented to Minister. Because if read correctly and other posts here are right, other country citizens in US get their SSN back because of a special treat.
So Retrogression is a problem but can not be represented to Minister due to reasons posted here !

I will not travel through London, does not matter if I need a transit visa or not. This practice of imposing transit VISA is fundamentally wrong and I am not going to buy it. Transit VISA is for those who wants to go out of the airport for less than 24 hours. It should not be imposed on those who just want to sit and wait on the airport for their connecting flights. So....use your economic power and let them feel the heat.

Got a BIG RFE for 7th yr extension from CSC PP.
I have applied for 485 (I140 approved), and have EAD/AP from same employer last yr.
I got this RFE and employer may not have/provide all the documents,
My question is can we withdraw H1 and then work on EAD?
Will that adversely affect my case for AOS?
Main list of items required from me,
Last 3 yrs W2, last 3 yr taxes, all i-94 etc. -- No biggie since I have always been working for big company for past 10 yrs. till In switched to this smaller firm last yr.
Main list of docs required from company
1. Offer letter to me.
2. Client letters
3. Last 3 yrs quarterly wage reports with ALL employees SSNs, pays etc.!
4. Last 3 yrs Tax returns
5. Last 3 yrs W2s and W3s for ALL employees
How in the world is one supposed to provide all those ??!! I spoke to the employer, he's very busy (not desi but still a small firm with 1-2 million turnover and maybe 4-500,000 income..)
I can even change employer if needed, but I need to know if it's okay to cancel or withdraw this application of H1B and if that will cause USCIS to reopen my approved I140 or issue RFE for same list of docs at the time I file AC21.
What should I do if employer doesn't comply and just strings me along?
My H1B ends in April first week and Wife's H4 is long expired, We were planning only to keep my h1b as safty..
