Hello everyone. I was following the "IV in the News" Thread and I saw something that may be the reason why the layman thinks IV is an "Indian Organization".
DISCLAIMER:
1) Now b4 everyone jumps down my throat, i want to mention that i KNOW how hard IV core and supporting members have worked to get these articles into the media and I MORE MORE than appreciate that fact.
2) I am not trying to play "seperatist" here (as in Indians v/s Non Indians).
Now for the facts. I was going through the articles one by one and I compiled a list of articles matched up with a list of names. I have posted first names only.
NBC Nightly News: Thurs March 30 -> Shiva
Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr 8, 2006 -> Nozer, Kartik, Shreyas, Srikanth
News & Observer, Apr 12, 2006 -> Sarath
Washington Post -> Aman & Shilpa
Fox News Wkend Live 1:15 EST -> Aman
Austin American Statesman front page, May 8, 2006 -> Nilesh, Ashwini, Pratik
Diversity Inc, May 13 2006 -> Aman, Jitendra
Tulsa World, May 23 2006 -> Salil
MSNBC, May 22 2006 -> Aman
World Journal News, May 27 2006 -> Chinese News article but also mentions the IV is started by Indians.
Baltimore Sun Headlines, May 30 2006 -> Raj, Bharati, Shilpa
This list includes my name as well. If we observe carefully, almost all these articles have only Indians speaking out in the media. I know that these articles come up on the spot and the media team sometimes has only a few hours to report a candidate to the reporter. Also i know that a lot of these interviews were done by the core memebers themselves on the spot.
All I am saying is that if more such articles are done in future, can we have the Non-Indian members also step up and contact the IV core/media team coz this would truly lend a "multi-cultural" look to IV. The lay-person american does not know what IV is comprised of. With them What u see is what u get. They see Indians in the media and on the news speaking out about the Immigration wait times and they think IV is an Indian organization.
This is a request to both the core team and the non-indian active IV members to please step up and co-ordinate future (such) events so that multi-cultural faces can be seen in the media as well as when we go to meet the Congressmen.
Once again, no disrespect meant to either the core/media team or to the non-indians on this forum. I hope people can see my point. (I am an Indian citizen myself). If efforts in this direction are already being taken, i apologise in advance.
One point of mention. I read the article "Valley News, May 21 2006" & I saw people of a lot of nationalities speaking out about the Green Card process. That was really good to see.

"invoke AC21 without waiting for six months" - I completely agree , that is a great idea if IV feels it is not asking for too much in one bill.
I think its good idea to try to add just one demand i.e. I-485 filing provision without current priority date into Supplemental resolution bill. But I think it will be really nice to try to get ability to change employer without waiting for six months(after filing 485) into the bill also. So that person can invoke AC21 without waiting for six months. I think both of these provisions go hand in hand.
Does anybody know when the next session is starting and when are they going to start discussing this bill and when will we be able to find out if our provisions are there or not?

again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.
Got it. I hope this stupidity doesn't happen!! Can this country's immigration laws get more convoluted???

I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.
Thanks for the tips. I was also thinking of driving to NY from Boston, but it look likes it's not a one day affair.

Ron Gotcher charges for AC21??
I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.

Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

What if your AP does not come until July next year ? Are you planning to wait until then to travel ?
I'll take a chance with the H1 stamping (like I have been doing for the past 6 years) if I dont get AP by end of the year. Dont want to be in a position where I cant come back if I suddenly have to travel for some reason (family emergency etc)... you cant let these things control all your actions...

I called customer care USCIS, they say they don't have information regarding finger prints and you don't see updates regarding fingerprinting online. Is this true?

That is precisely why I have a statement in my signature, to serve as a reminder to all those not fathoming the situation we are in. Hope they will pause & look at the bigger picture & stand together with us very soon!
Didn't understand you specifically mentioning "US Stem Graduate" in your signature. What do you want to convey through this statement. Ofcourse other statements looks OK.

Thanks. I did not e-file my application. I had sent my package to the same address as yours (except for the Attn E-file line) via USPS.
Should I call USCIS to clarify things up or will they forward it to the Vermont center if it really needed to be mailed to vermont?

For EB based guys, my understanding is that this PD is same as Labor Certification PD which was used for GC - correct me if I am wrong.[/QUOTE]
PD for family based visa is based on the date you file your I-130 for your Spouse. Nothing to do with the Labor certification.

Hello Folks,
I am on H1-B since Aug2009 and last year I transferred around 40K USD to parents. All these transfers were spread over the year in the denominations of 5K per transaction.(As and when I saved money).
My question is, do I have to pay taxes in US on this money transferred to India. I know that my parents don't have to but I am not sure about myself.
Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks,

Lou Doubbs is not a conservative but an idiot and a crook. He is a protectionist like the unions in America.
When it comes to skilled immigration, conservatives have been good. Sen John Coryn, Ex-sen George Allen, Sen. Sam Brownback etc. have been the sponsors of SKIL bill and like. We can depend on them to fight to get SKIL bill included into CIR when it comes up.
Our problem has mainly been with rabid anti-immigrationists like Sen Sessions and also protectionists like some in the Democratic party.
It not between Conservatives and liberals in general.
Wash Times is as conservative as your Lou Doubbs... I dont trust them...

Everyone please try to put english posts only.
If you have to put something in Hindi etc, please put an english version translated with it. Its insulting to share joke with only people who know a certain language.
Imagine this: If you are in a restaurant with a fellow Indian and an American co-worker, would you talk in Hindi, crack a joke in Hindi and then giggle? Wouldnt the other guy think that you are laughing at him?
Same thing. Please put translated english versions with whatever poems, phrases, proverbs...etc. you have.
