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.
I am not sure if another rally will help. I believe lobbing in DC, meetings with law makers will be more effective than rallying or trying to get public attention.
The rally that illegal immigrants made some time back had huge turnout and large media publicity - it was a success in that sense. But I think it was counter-productive for them. The fact that no pro-immigration bill had passed proves this.
I agree with the sense of urgency part. With the economy heading into recession and job market weakening, getting more skilled workers into the country will be the last thing congress will take up. So it is important to get something done sooner than later.

Actually I am the first person who pitched the idea to IV of Issuing Temporary GC when visa is retrogressed.
Looks like some bill must have been sneaked in and passed and been signed to law by our honorable prez. I WISH. :D

I think many of us go through these kind of tragedy. One of my friends got laid off last month and his employer did not give him the letter to file I-485. Now he is back to the line where he was way back in 2000. He has to start his whole immigration process all over again. This guy lost job twice just before he could adjust his status. He is in USA from over 10 years now and he holds nothing but a PD of 2002. There is nothing in US Immigration Law to protect folks like him. What a shame to the US Immigration system.
This may happen to many of us, not only on the job front, anywhere down the line, untill we get our Green Card. For example, what if USCIS reject our application at the end moment, or else what if USCIS deny our I-485 for a reason beyond our control; there are tons of reasons, our life is shaky until we get our green cards.
Would that be nice if we ask something to protect us just like AC 21? For several folks, even to get to the stage of AC21 is a big milestone. Is it not the time to ask congress to protect all H1-B holders who play by rules and who are here over 10 years, with something similar to AC21? When they can consider giving green cards for those undocumented who are here since only 2005, what we legals ask for; besides just play by the rules and stand in the line and leave everything at the mercy of the adjudicator?
There should be some protection for those who come under these unforeseen clutches of law, besides fighting for mere retrogression.

How likely is to get an approval (or an rfe for paystubs?) before 180 days.
I am eb3 row
Thanks, I am very depressed it took too long I guess and the economy changed and now the whole future of my family is pending

I did a one time $100 contribution during 2007 Fiasco as i know it was all because of IV. I stayed away from Donating to IV after Donor - Non Donor fights.
I know IV is doing wonderful job and i want to chip in here....Before that i want to know if this is separate drive or can i get Donor status?
Thanks

Its very disappointing to me. My some of friends who filed labor just 2 months before me now will go citizenship for next year.
All EB3 who filed their I140/I485 in June and afterwards have to wait till processing date cross at least June. Right now TSC is processing April 2007 cases. I believe when both center starts processing July cases then you can see significant movement in EB3 cases. I think you need to wait till September when new quota comes. Till that time as my Atorney says focus and save your Jobs. Get more skill. Without good job all above is meaning less. Busy yourself in NFL, NBA, NHL or Cricket be cool and calm. Nothing is in your hand except waiting.
yep thats my story too and I filed my I485 in June 2003. I have seen that most of applications through mid of 2002 has been approved (this does'nt include the flood caused by June 2007), but EB3 should move atleast 2-3 months at a time and will reach close June to Sep 2002, where it could be potentially stop and moving into 2003 is going to be pretty difficult

With you buddy, if they are getting benefit that easily or they getting in our way. i have no problem if illegals get GC if they pay back-taxes equal to the average amount paid by legals + fine for breaking law and stand in the line behind us.

I would give some days to Attendees and particularly to IV core team to analyze the rally events, meetings in their entirty and come up with the conclusions mainly for 3 things. And I request everybody to funnel data to core team centrally and the same way conclusion and future action list funnelled to members.
- What we could REALLY achieve
- How loud we could be heard
- Any potential and positive impact in near future?
- Based on all of above making near future strategy
Note: One thing I want to bring everybody's attention that from November Elections will slowly be given priority by every media and so we may have to come up with careful strategy not having any conflict with election realted major events.
We look forward to guidance from Core!

Thank you so much for the reply. As you suggested, I will try to find an attorney and get more details. In the mean time I just have a few more questions.
1.Do you know if pay stubs would be a problem to get the "transfer/new" H1B before Oct 1st? Since I wouldn't actually work with Company A, so I wouldn't have any pay stubs.
2. Actually what's difference between getting the "transfer" before Oct 1st and getting a "new" H1B before Oct 1st? Is there some procedure difference?
Company A (the company through which I got the H1B) is withholding the H1B approval notice Original until I am put on project. I went ahead with them for sponsorship because they guaranteed getting projects in my area and no "bench" time, but now after the approval came through, they don't seem as enthusiastic about placing me in local projects. In case there's a problem, I don't want to risk going through the whole "bench" period thing, that's why I am considering changing companies early itself, instead of waiting to find out for sure.
So my third question is
3. Is a COPY of H1B approval notice enough for getting a "new" H1B with company B?
Again THANK YOU for your replies, it's a BIG HELP!
I had the same question so I asked my attorney and he told me that you can "transfer" your H1B after Oct 1 and benefit from AC21, meaning that as soon as company B files an H1B petition for you and you have proof of this filing, you can start working for them.
However, I understand that you want to "transfer" before Oct 1, in which case company B has to file a new H1B petition either regular or with premium processing. This new H1B is not counted against the cap because you have already been counted against the gap in the 6 previous years.
In short, you should be able to work for company B starting Oct 1 if they file for a new H1B now and it is approved by Oct 1.
I recommend you ask an attorney for your specific case.
