So what will be the next few steps? Following are some of our options
(1) Plan on the next Rally in SFO area
(2) Plan on the next rally in NY City
(3) Plan on simultanious rallies in several large US cities with good IV participation
(4) Do nothing, keep cursing people who did not show up
Also, who decides the next steps? Could modrators kindly respond..
Thanks
Hello guys!
I wanted to volunteer a thought that had been in my head, so I am basically thinking out loud here for a bit, just throwing this out there for your guidance, tell me if you think this is too aggressive, or even premature?
I think we need another rally before the end of the year. There are 2 reasons:
1- Presidential campaigns: After this Fall, presidential campaigns will be in full swing, and thus commanding all the attention of Congress, the media and the American public.
2- Memory: People's memories are short. Now that we have the attention of the media and Capitol Hill, wouldn't it make sense that this is the time to redouble our efforts and push harder? If we wait, the iron might just cool off.
Having said that, and as we know, a rally means a lot of money, a lot of work, a lot of dedication to organize. Yet, no one said our struggle was easy, and other people and groups who have gone through tough struggles have had to go through extraordinary lengths to achieve their goals.
So, if we were to hypothetically hold a second rally this Fall, we could go for the "low-hanging fruit", i.e. we can hold the rally where the most of us live, such as Silicon Valley (and we know those folks really come through), we can plan to reach attendance to this event in the tens of thousands. I know we might not have enough time, and the people who worked so hard on the DC rally are probably exhausted. But, what if we just focus on an area where there are a LOT of us, and do a "no-frills" rally? Just get the police permits and show up. Our numbers will do the rest.

Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda. Instead of supporting IV you are creating your own selfish agenda and not listening to IV. I have seen lot of offensive messages by you guys. You guys celebrated when all of us got screwed
I do not support your agenda.[/B][/QUOTE]
I DISAGREE WITH THE TERM "SELFISH AGENDA". I have read responses form the core team and I understand BEC issues are beyond the scope of IV's goal. However I think we should let BEC impacted members to mobilize, organize and communicate with each other through this forum. I feel strongly for them because I was stuck in BEC for a very long time too, it is an integral part of Employment based green cards to a majority of applicants. Even if we don't support them by being involved since we are not facing those issues, we must sympathize with people affected with BEC backlogs and give them directions, thoughts and good energy and wish them well..
I know behind the scenes core team is providing support, ideas to BEC impacted resources on how to go about and ideas. I think it is just commonsensical that IV cannot take up every issue and fight for everything. So that is why they are focused more on Retrogression caused by visa unavailability as their primary goal!
Hope we stop showing indifference among members and stop going at each other, its not worth dividing groups!

Simple e.g. I like Target as a store. That doesn't mean I give Target money and let them give me whatever they want for that money. I want to know before hand what my money is getting me.
very true when you are talking about a person who walks into a store. But you are asking for Target's strategic plans, how many stores it will open in the next quarter, what is their marketing plan in regards to Walmart (their main competitor).
Are there any immigration bills that IV supports? What are they? What is IV going to do to get them through? What does IV expect from the lobbyist?
I take it you did not go through the action alerts page...Here is a link
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=69
Other than the FOIA thing, is there anything else IV is collecting money for? I don't want to see IVs tax statements. I just want a quarterly report of what IV did with the money it collected and what IV will do with the money it collects in the future. A simple 5 line explanation is enough. It has to be something concrete though. "IV will improve the EB immigration process" is not enough. E.g. "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ". "IV will make sure there is constant media attention to our problem" etc.
Two different things here: a. Action items b. Lobbying
I would agree as to what items are in the horizon in terms of action items is something more often than not can be given out.
Lobbying...check out the landscape....go visit numbers usa website, capsweb or similar websites...come back and tell us if "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ" is a good idea.

Because of the retrogression, I am investing all my money in India rather than in America where the growth is higher and more certainity for me atleast for time being...
I think retrogression is a loose-loose situation for US. Hope US politicians realize that before its too late for them.

Please find out the visa numbers allotment for EB1, EB2 and EB3 till now. Till now there is about 100k visa numbers allotment for EB3 every year due to the vertical fallout. From now on there would be around 100K allotment in EB2 due to the change to Horizontal Fall out of visa numbers. Out of these 100k EB2 visa numbers, India will get greatest share of around 50k + visas. Please see the below.
Type and class of admission 1998-- 1999-- 2000-- 2001-- 2002-- 2003-- 2004-- 2005-- 2006-- 2007

First: Priority workers 21,375-- 14,844-- 27,566-- 41,672-- 34,168-- 14,453-- 31,291-- 64,731-- 36,960-- 26,697
Second: advanced degrees or exceptional ability 14,362--8,557-- 20,255-- 42,550-- 44,316-- 15,406-- 32,534 --42,597-- 21,911-- 44,162
Third: Skilled workers 34,282 --27,920--49,589--85,847-- 88,002-- 46,415-- 85,969-- 129,070--89,922-- 85,030
Fourth: Special immigrants 6,570-- 5,072-- 9,014-- 8,442-- 7,186-- 5,389-- 5,407-- 10,133-- 9,539-- 5,481
Fifth: (investors) 824-- 285-- 218-- 191-- 142-- 64-- 129-- 346-- 749-- 806

Exactly what I was saying.
Until 2007, a large number of unused visa numbers were going to EB3-ROW. Now they will go to EB2 India/China due to the revised interpretation by DOS as posted by Gotcher sometime ago.

Thanks AskBird, My only concern is if the new EB2 labor or I140 doesn't get approved for some reason, can I fall back to my current EB3 application. I don't want to jeopardize my current application just by deciding to port to EB2. Any suggestions?

Just called. She first said that she will put me on as a supporter. But since I am not from his district, they are collecting all those names in a separate pool.
So looks like people from his district calling is more important and carries more weight.

I understand that you guys are frustrated but I did not open this thread to make empty noise. I have written to six different organisations and ACLJ only gave me a reply that they would be unable to process our per courntry quota lawsuit. There are thousands of federal court immigration lawyers in the country who would do this lawsuit albeit with more money than these non profit organisations. If any of you guys want to make a difference in your lives and lives of others pls co-ordinate this event of contacting various immigration lawyers.
Dear XXX:
Thank you for contacting the American Center for Law and Justice (AACLJ@). As you may know, the ACLJ is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the defense of constitutional liberties secured by law.
Our legal staff has reviewed the information which you provided, and we have determined that the ACLJ is unable to assist you at this time. While we sympathize with your dilemma, unfortunately, this case does not present an issue that the ACLJ can address on your behalf.
We appreciate your inquiry and hope that you will feel free to contact us in the future should the need arise. As for now, please understand that the ACLJ is not representing you in any legal matter.
Sincerely,
AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW & JUSTICE

As I said dont bother replying
Pay attention more to something when you read and ask your questions better (or at least elaborate before you reply with something like the above gem). And, since I suspect this is part of the problem look up "hypothetical". The correct term should have been "on or after July 2" not "after July 2". I didn't bother to sit there and make sure it was perfectly clear since I assumed readers would get it. Obviously, some are slow:D Peace
