I have been feeling sad that I have not been able to make it to the rally and after hearing about the energy, the camaraderie and the excitement you all shared I know for sure I missed out on a once in a life time oppurtunity, there will always be that sadness in me, the only comfort I have is that I tried to contribute in ways other than attending the rally.
But I am very glad that this turned out be such a resounding success.

We have 8000+ members but only 200+ contributed. I have been thinking about it and here is one possible answer. If you look at the poll result about whether we should push for 485 or not, there are about 280 guys supporting this goal. Maybe almost all recurring contributions are from this group. :confused:
I did not follow the I-485 filing debate; it was sickening. I made a one time contribution. I don't think I am included in the 220 count. I think there are very few members who have made a one time payment recently and are not included in 220.
I think, the count 220 includes only recurring payments that started this month. Some persons paid before this count started.
The only useful thing we can do is to work on contributions. It is hard to figure out reasons why persons are not paying. I think it will be useful if we guess all possible reasons and work on all of them.
We should not insult any non-paying member or anyone for that matter. I still want to know
1. What is the use of a non-paying member?
2. What is lost if a non-paying member leaves?

We are not here illegally. We are proud to be highly skilled, in demand and in America to improve American competitiveness.
The National Anthem was sung (and thank you Panjak, you brought a tear to my eye) as we are waiting patiently in line.
It was sung as a mark of respect to the country of which we aspire to eventually become citizens of, and that play host to us. Its the same reason we held the American and State flags up high and proud during the walk.
It is a powerful statement

Same here...We received same FP fees rejected notice but checks are cashed. Our lawyer mailed the proof of cashed checks for 325 + 70. But to our surprise even before that we received appointment for FP.
I think this is common error on USCIS system. Most probably they will send you FP appointment notice. So relax..
I talked to my lawyer and they said the checks has been encashed. I talked to an IO, and he said that they did receive the $70. But I asked them why the status saying FP fee rejected. TO that he replied I dont see that. But since we have mailed you a notice, you go acheck the contect of the notice after you receive it.
But my lawyer send an info from AILA, which says that the USCIS is erroneously rejecting the cases inspite of sending the correct fees.
I dont know what to do ?

Lest you forget, he is the President for the anti-immigrants too. His job is to uphold the constitution, not to do stuff to get re-elected.
Mr. President, pls. stop lip service.. Anti immigrants doesn't vote for you in 2012 even if you deport all 12 Million illegals and stop all immigration..
Get to know your friends..

Well, we can keep the org name as IV, and just start a campaign with a better name (with descriptive URLs) without worrying about the overhead of changing registrations, etc.
There are some good points here, "ImmigrationVoice" sounds very broad and comprehensive. Most American's have never even heard of employment based immigration. Furthermore, they don't see what the problem is with H1Bs - they figure, why are you complaining, you are here in the glorious USA, you should be thankfull and happy.
Anyway, some better branding on our part with campaigns can serve the same purpose as a fullblown name change. For example, the campaign could be called: "Competitive Immigration", and it's derivatives. "Innovation America", like CompeteAmerica which has a great name. Also, "Keep America on Top" or KAT, just spewing ideas that come to mind.... and emphasize the need to keep and attract bright minds to America - or else they will compete with us offshore.
So, let's think about hatching campaigns - like a Google AdWord Campaign, for example, and we'll name those campaigns much more purposely and descriptively. And we still get to keep the IV name as the sponsor. Just a thought.

Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

I think lets not get diverted. We have to display prudence in our action
We have 2 question infront of us.
Q1) What we want?
A: We all know that..
Q2) How we can achive this.
A:By convicing lawmaker.
Lets get this things clear
US prsident DO NOT make any law he pass the law or vetos the law.
Economic report 2006 says that US Presidents understand our plight. So if the law passes in HR and Senate I dont see any reason why this will not be signed into law.
Involving Indian authority will may jepordise our cause.
Why?
Permanant Residentship is Privilage NOT Right
America is a soverign nation and many in Congress or Senate specially the Republicans may not like the influence of foreign Government in law making descision. Senators or HR who may sympathise our cause may turn away after India try to put her influence.
We are playing very DANGEROUS game here.
Involve India only if your rights are violated not if your privilage is stuck. I hate to use these words but looks like we are acting as kids rather than adults.
We are not dealing with any trivial issue we are dealing with Government of a country where we are known as "Aliens".

Guys,
If you are in Jersey.. Act smart... All of these doctors are booked for this week..
Does anyone know of any health centers in Jersey which do vaccinations for cheap or free.. I am sure there must be some public hospitals where you can walk in and just get the vaccinations - saying they are for safety.
I have heard that vaccinations are free in New York City Public Health Center.. Can anyone confirm that?

I was just quoting that there may be legitimate reasons but this is not a good reason...
Sorry, but I have to disagree. I don't think there is such thing as "legitimate" reasons to take your own life. What is more legitimate that the other is something very subjective, and if you believe there even exist "legitimate" reasons, then you can always fall into the mistake of thinking that something minor, which you can easily overcome, is "legitimate" just because of your current state of mind and spirit.

Background: Current AP expires on Oct 24 2010. I don't have the new AP yet, but I should have it soon, and I expect it to be valid from Oct 25 2010 - Oct 25 2011.
Question: Am I allowed to leave the US on Oct 20 2010 (during the validity of the old/current AP) and return on Oct 30 2010 (during the validity of the new AP) if I carry both APs with me?
Thanks!

What are you going to achive by knowing about US citizens..???
If they make a rule wherin US born child parents should be given the US citizen ship, hands down I can say immigrant will make use of this rule efficiently.:D:D:D:D:D
right. Either way one has to go through Labor pains. Atleast in this case the case is processed within 9 months, we dont have to keep waiting and looking for Visa Bulletins.
Also, I am sure in this case no one is going to try LC-substitution.
In addition, no one is going to agree to file a case as a 'future employer'. It will only be filed once the employee really commits to the sponsor.

In fairness to the OP, he/she said that "...while TSC filer are getting ead adn AP as SOON AS THEY GET RECEIPT...." (emphasis mine).
He/she didn't mean to say that NOT GETTING any receipt is good as long as you get your EAD.
No Hard Feelings...as some body said earlier Grass Is Green on Other Side..
You can't say "In-Justice" because of diff priority..NSC thought to let every body get receipt first then work on EAD's and AP's. So they are issuing those faster.
TSC is working on both parallel.
Same people they would have been on other side of situation wud have said that It's better to receive the receipt first than EAD.

One of my friend got EAD 2 year back even though his priority date was not came. Ofcourse this was even b4 this mess created USCIS. He was still using his H1 till couple months back, he is afraid of USCIS may roll back his EAD since PD is not yet reached.
I do heared 11 people from Infxxxx company got EAD even though their PD was not current. They are saying by mistake send the package but they got EAD.
I do know personally that person on the 1st paragraph, on the 2nd paragraph I dont have any evidence.....
Just sharing this information to help this thread, hope there may be lot more cases got EAD without PD even before this mess they have created.:D
You don't need your PD to be current for EAD/AP
