Hope you all are doing well.
I will join you folks. I was there at San Jose rally, DC rally and advocacy event, will be there this year. Good to see some of the returning folks. Last time California had more than forty members at the DC rally, probably the reflection of the state of economy and urgent need for immigration reform at that time. Time have changed and many people's circumstances have changed but our resolve is unchanged. Last time our advocacy effort impacted the lives of hundred of thousands of people who were able to apply for their EAD. Sweet victory for IV members and hats off to their leadership in this area.
Now, we work to help gather support for a CIR bill. I am excited about this. Lets do this.
Cheers!

As far as I know, GA doesn't have any restrictions (in addition to Federal restrictions already in place) preventing non-citizens from buying firearms. But you can check with the State police. Go to the State police website, get the general information contact phone number, or if there is one for firearms, call that one. State that you are a legal immigrant living in the US, and ask if GA has any laws preventing you from buying a firearm.
When you have your answer for GA, read the ATF pamphlet that A. Patel has attached in this thread, and once you have met all the requirements listed there, take that to your local gun dealer, show it to them (they usually aren't very familiar with non-citizen, especially non resident alien, firearm laws), and make your purchase.
If you aren't familiar with firearms, find a local public range that rents weapons, there should be tons of those in Georgia, go there, try out a few, get comfortable, read up on firearm safety, do some research online on what could suit your needs, and then get one.
Good luck.
Oh, and when you do get a gun, do your part in ensuring that your children and their children continue to enjoy this freedom, by joining the NRA.

Did you get copy of approval notice for I-140? I mean I-797 approval notice for I-140.
I got only I-140 application copy with labor and not the approval notice with the help of FOIA.
You're welcome.
Yep. Got copies of labor, I-140 forms and approvals via FOIA. :)

EB3 - ROW is already 01MAY05. He would not be saying 2004 for sure on EB3 ROW.
Good point. Eliminating that option, he must be talking about the year-end surge in EB3-I becasue he said that PD will become current briefly.

There is no big secret, except little bit of planning and starting something.
I came here in 1997(at 22), but was in school for 2 years, started working in 1999. As soon as I started, I put money in 401k. I married early in 2000(I was only 25 then), my wife already did her M.S by then, she started working in 2000 even before our marriage. I made her put into her 401k(max out most of the time), we also put into esop. Together we have 300k in investment assests in 401k. Then I started a brokerage account and put 1500 every month, that accumualted to 150k now.
I brought house early, as soon as I am out of PT, with in first year of H-1, it didn't appreciate much but I still have an equity of 200k in primary house(I took 15 year mortgage) and I brought another house, that I rent out which as an equity of 50k. I have some cash. I brought couple of plots in india and also constructing an house in my native town in India.
But i want to do something else, I am happy with my life, for last two years, I got into golf, tennis and exercise, trying to be physically fit. I used to worry about GC before, not any more, whatever happens will happen.
Except that I am not progressing ahead in my carreer, I want to do MBA and get into something else. Right now most of my money goes to day care for two of my kids around 24,000.
More than money, you have to develop right habits, be healthy and have positive attitude.
In my case, Secrets of my lifestyle are
1. Getting started early, buying an house at 26. STarting 401k early.
2. Marrying a girl, who is already working.
3. Maxing my 401k and esop plan.

There is already a thread open that aims to achieve similar results: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17660
I agree with what most of the people here have said. The US economy is in a bigger hole and people buying houses isn't going to save it. It is going to take some creative and strict solutions from the Fed and the Govt to get the economy out of this mess.

This is all time low for "Highly Skilled" "Highly talented" "High INCOME" group. For the issue that affects our life the most, we are asking IV core if we could still drop to $10/month or $1/month, realizing well that we are up against well oiled and very well funded machinery of anti-immigrants. WOW!!! Is there a competition going on as to how low this community can go?
This issue affects our personal life, family life, professional life, careers, professional life of our spouses, development of our growing children and still we cannot even come up with $20/month. After reading this, not sure whether at this time I am filled with more shame or is it more anger that is bothering me. Anyways, either of the two are lowest energy levels in human behavior.
The amount of money we contribute is the measure of importance of this issue for us. Is this issue worth $20 or $10 or $1 for us? I guess the answer is NONE. This issue drives our life and we cannot come up with the necessary resources. Shame. We are expecting Amitab and Shahrukh to raise money for us when we do not want to help ourselves. Don't know if we all should cry or laugh at our behavior.

Dude, you forgot the most important point....
After apology/providing GC, they are going to provide settlement assistance as a welcome gift....
Right!!! and in the future bulletins, the dates will continue to move to the future and all the FOBs will be forced to take the GC at the POEs else they will be denied entry into the US of A.

Impressive to see that this thread jumped from discussing Rahman Oscar award accomplishment to terrorism.
Anyway, Rahman has come a long way from being unknown composer in his first move 'Roja' to competing in gloabl arena of Academy Awards.
It has to be a movie produced by American production house to compete in wide variety of categories. Competing from foreign country reduces the exposure.
It would be wrong to say that Rahman's talent was showcased in slumdog millionaire coz he has obvioulsy done rich material even before, but this time the timing was perfect and he was at the right time in the right place. I would like to see his doing background score for good hollywood movie. The fusion would be interesting.

Patton Boggs is a lobbying firm. Not a single person.
IV has it's own lobbyists and has been using their services to get Green Card increases attached to various bills. Good lobbyists cost a lot of money like good attorneys. Though IV has hired the services of one of the top 10 lobbying firms, IV is limited by funds in utilizing their services. Most of IVs funding comes from few recurring contributors and other members who contribute one-time every now and then. Most of the money gets spent on these lobbying efforts.
There is a general tendency here to blame IV for not trying to attach increase in Green Cards to every immigration-related bill in the Congress, or not doing more lobbying. Members who blame IV need to understand the constraint of operating under limited funds and the necessity of making wise investments in only those efforts that are likely to yeild the most benefits like the Admin fixes campaign which has a better of chance of passing in an election year than the immigration-related bills.
If IV had more regular contributing members and more funds, IV would've tried to attach it's measures to more bills and we would've had a better chance of success. But sadly that's not the case. We need to appreciate that IV is doing the best it can under the circumstances.
Patton Boggs is a lobbyist hired by IV, Can he help in this situation ? It may be the case he already may be working to get something thru ..

Why don't we mail copies of our degree certificates, diplomas and other credentials? They will know who is more educated..Lou Dobbs or us !!!
---
Thanks for your message.
The issue at hand is not to "prove" if you are educationally qualified rather long delays in legal employment based immigration. So sending copies of degree certificates may not convey our message. Also, if we wrap the stoppers in the photo copies of the degrees that might show subtle disrespect to American learning institutions that gave you those degrees. On the contrary, these degrees are to be framed, if you want to. We want positive message e.g. stop reverse brain drain.
Stopper is a good idea because it weaves two ideas very effectively:
- Stop American jobs from off-shoring : use a stopper
- Stop reverse brain "drain" from America to keep America competitive : use stopper
This concept of reverse brain drain is well documented by the recent Kauffman foundation study http://www.kauffman.org/items.cfm?itemID=906
where they mention that 100K high skilled immigrants have left US to go back to India, China and other countries.

Here's a suggestion - instead of whining about the "unjust" treatment being meted out to you, go get yourself a PhD, publish some research papers, get a couple of patents under your belt, then go qualify for EB1.
Okay?
I and many folks in this forum have seen very few approvals for this category. How come USCIS says that this category is over subscribing the visa quota. Why they are moving un used visas to EB2 (no offense) why not for EB3?
We need IV help in this area.

Also all said and done CIR still remains a controversial bill, that at the very least has to be debated at length in the house to send out the right signals. If it gets passed in the lame duck, the conservatives will go to town with their story that an amnesty has been shoved down the throats of the american middle class. I doubt either the president or the democrats want that at this stage.
because he has to regain his popularity with the American people, and immigration is not a top priority for the American people, as all the election polls showed, and as the infamous Ombudsman on this site "reported" so often

I think you need a second opinion from a lawyer, no one here can really help you (unless he/she is a lawyer).
If your version of the story is really the absolute truth (assuming there is no wrong doing on your part) then you should fight, the system is fair (I'm sure people understand language barriers) and I'm sure judgment will be in your favor.
Just a word of caution... Don't underestimate the intelligence of people making the judgment, they deal with such cases everyday - they can easily smell a rat.
GC is not life, the trial verdict can change your life for better or for worse (specially if there is jail time involved).
Good Luck!
