Same here ... for EAD and AP (for me or dependent) my company does not reimburse these fees. They will however reimburse if I have to use EAD to work due to unavoidable H1 extension issues/ inability to extend beyond 6 yrs etc. I think that is a fair and reasonable policy in general
what I mean to say is, if i do self filing my employer will not reimburse it and if fragomen files it then fragomen gets directly paid by my employer.

for all those who complain, and say the IV core doesn't do anything. the very reason you are expression your opinions, and most everyone getting advise is because the IV core took pains to set up this forum. It takes great deal of effort, time, money, sacrifice to do something productive and useful for the masses.
If you are too much worried or frustrated with the IV core not sharing info with you, why don't you take the pain of starting a forum of your own, and see how many people will join that. You will understand what all pain you will go through.
Personally I am a donor, because I understand the sacrifice people make to get this thing going. I know nobody is making money out of my donation 'coz they'll be in deep trouble for doing that. And I am not going to complain because I am not being informed of all the actions going behind the scene. I trust the core for doing the right thing which is beneficial to all. There are few core members who have already got the GCs but are still working on this effort.
So my humble advise is "pls don't complain...nobody is under any compulsion to contribute or do anything. The request is out there for all but it's upto you to act".
---------
If you feel discriminated against, pls feel free to lodge a complaint with the DOL or USCIS (just kidding this part alone).

Got the letter last week and I am willing to contribute for this cause.
But if we are paying up I think we should find out who has the earliest notice date / number and use that to ask for the info that way we can avoid at least some of the backlog.
Even though I have voted for $25 contribution, wouldn't mind paying more if there is a shortage of funds.

�The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.�

Nothing succeeds without leadership and proper plans. If we go by the current rule - every one is a leader - we will learn soon 'Too many Cooks spoiled the broth'. If each person steering the boat paddles in a different direction, boat will go in circles.
Focus is the most important factor in success. Right now, I'm focussed on what's getting posted here, as I don't have anything else to focus on till I hear the next secret broadcast , which I never get.
Sales/Marketing is severely lacked in promoting State chapters. IV website does provide good info on filing 485, other forms, suggestions etc. What's the incentive in becoming a State chapter member? What are the costs vs. benefits? Unless people find benefits they'll not volunteer. It's hard to sell only 'action items'. Baits such as Free legal help, help filling Immigration forms (by experienced members) etc. may motivate people and make them sympathetic to our cause.
If we stick to 'Don't ask what we can do for you, ask what you can do for us', we won't go far with it.
The answer is we all will have to bell the cat...and it will take more than a few attempts to do that.
IMHO, we should focus on what we can do rather than focusing on what some people could have done or what some one did to dampen the last attempt.
People will always find time for what is important to them; all we can do is try to make it more convenient and keep giving then enough opportunities.
We should have some sales/marketing people on this forum; they could have told us about how long it takes to convert a prospect to a customer.
Have faith my friend...

Visa is generally assigned to an application only if it has cleard background checks etc...and ready to be approved... They never assign Visa on receiving the application
Well, I just made my third call and the lady sounded quite confident that applications that have been received and are in processing are not affected by this and it's only NEW applications that would be coming in after July 2 that are affected. I understand what you're saying that they don't assign it but I have read before that they "assume" each application qualifies unless they eventually figure out otherwise. And now I am making my own assumption that if they assume it qualifies then it's assumed a visa is indirectly assigned? Wait, I'm confused:D.

Canada and Australia are good backup options. You want to apply for one of these countries as a backup while waiting for your GC.
going by the current EB 3 india scenario,I think canada and australia seem to be good 1st and 2nd options respectively and I will keep US GC as the last option as it looks more far fetched than the other two.

Reposting quetion from another thread, as this looks like right thread for this question...
Did anyone got H1B transfer done recently from California Service Center??
Their published processing time are not of much use, they show status as of Sep 30th.
Wanted to know how much time its taking for H1B transfer cases????

It takes a lot of balls to lead and very few have it. I joined IV with with very little expectation and have been primarily circumspect of what can be done. But have I lost hope no. Lets look at the +ve side of this debate. There is pent up frustration and general disdain for the system so far. So lets all collectively make an effort to address the situation. What will happen is anybody's guess!!!! We will eventually get what we deserve.
To the core team once again, please keep momentum. We will help in whatever capacity you need.

I've noticed that it's hard to get someone who can sound like they are really sure of the information they're giving you. I wonder if they're reading from something or just guessing sometimes. i shouldn't have to use the internet to get my information, they should be the #1 information center, and they can't even do that.:(

I wanted to attend but I have pretty much exhausted all my vacation. 2 more days will be pushing it.
Also, the flight schedules to fly from Portland Oregon to D.C is so ridiculous that it takes a whole day away in flying.
Will definetely attend a rally in the east coast, or better yet will help organize one.

Yes, I mean, eventually they would get their citizenship. It takes few years, but they will get there.
Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

rpatel,
I don't think it is about being optmistic or pessimistic. It is about doing best with your life. One can do better than wait for 5 or 10 years on top of what we have already done for the green card in the same position with very little salary raise.
It is not only about salary raise. In 5 or 10 years with the right attitude one could really grow into senior management psotion. Will the green card be worth it after 10 years you are still stuck in same programmer level job doing the same stuff all over again
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

Not entirely correct. When as you say this country treats all Employment based immigrants equally, why set quotas, why distinguish between EB1, EB2 EB3 etc.
The point is there are rules and they tend to favor certain applicants over others in the queue. More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
How can you say all nations have an equal opportunity to immigrate to the USA. That is patently false and you know it. Now you can defend it and say it is the US right to set its rules the way it wishes, and I can respect that, but to say it is equal opportunity is wrong.
What I have said all along is that EB immigration is to redound to the benefit of US EMPLOYERS not you or me. That is why the rules were skewed so much in their favor. Now, we agree there has been some abuse in this system, by those this system was meant to help, however its purpose remains intact. The rest of the rules are secondary to this intent, but nevertheless important.
The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!
