Thanks a lot IV and all members.We all worked as a team & helped each other during this time of extreme anxiety & stress.This shows how team work & organization can create a difference.Also the teachings of great Mahatma Gandhi are still so much relevant and applicable.
I feel a part of IV family in this long journey of immigration.Congratulations everyone.

Congratulations!
Your PD is not current this month, how come they approved it?
I am confused now!:D
I thought that with the Sept 2009 bulletin ( PD shifted to 01 Jan 2005 for EB2 India), my PD is current!
Am I missing something?

Brilliant idea by OP
Dear realizeit,
WHAT THE FARK?
As an IO working in USLameIS, I absolutely cannot agree with your sentiments! In fact, that is the worst idea I have ever seen. Why, if we did that, we would give you applicants a sense of security. We can't have that. You would be released from your suffering and anxiety. That would render our cleverly thought out process to make-you-wait-forever meaningless.
On top of that, you add a layer of work to me! That cuts into my 3 hr lunch, 2 hr coffee time, and 1 hr toilet break. NO!
And the worst thing ever is: should the idea be implemented, it would add transparency to what we are doing and.. and.. oh noes! *GASP* we would have to provide accountability! NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOooo.
Worst idea ever ok? realizeit? Plsdiekthxbye.
Yours sincerely,
Another IO from TSC on vacation with your tax dollars.
P.S. For the slower of mind, this is a sarcastic post. OP has a brilliant idea.

Great Guys!!!Thanks to IV!!
The flower campaign and protest rally etc did raise a storm on this issue.
This proves a point that we should stand up and protest against anything unjust,instead of being a passive spectator.
Kudos to all who joined the flower campaign and San Jose rally.

Did anybody stop to think that maybe Mr. thunderbolt is just pulling a fast one on all of us.
I mean .. it hard to believe that a parent would think twice before reporting a matter like this.
Tell me. Why should someone hire a illegal nanny in the first place? Knowing the consequences, why should they come on this forum and ask for support?
I strongly recommend thunderbolt to post the video on youtube and share it with all of us. He can share the link on sulekha also.
Well - it is his choice if he wants to complain to the police.
I am sure mr thunderbolt will never go to the cops because of his immigration status

Can we have some tieup with some flower delivering company? Like, for each floer ordered by IV member, some percentage will be donated to IV. But the point is every one from here will order the flowers through them. Any thoughts?
That is a nice thought, if you know anybody that will donate the money to IV please let us know. (Pun intented). :D

Hi, I have a question regarding the exempt cap for non profit H-1. I will graduate with a masters in education in 2008 and already have job offers to work in public schools.
My question was -
- does public school employment qualify under the non profit H-1B exempt category?
- Should I apply under the Masters quota?
Please reply as I have been searching for answers for a few weeks....
Thank you.

kpchal2,
I didn't want to dishearten anyone. What I meant that multiple RFEs are quite common. I responded to an RFE last November and counting stars since then.
An open window can again incite another RFE and then back to counting. There should not be much hope or basis on preadjudication....preadjudication is just a mode for denying cases and not giving green....one RFE responded they may shower you with more just for the fun of it.
Again hope less and don't put your life on hold

PlainSpeak

Plainspeak says.."As far as i know the whole MS F1 visa is a big scam and loophole to enter us and stay here when you are not supposed to and that is the loophole that needs to be closed first instesad of worrying about fruad porting and EB1 fraud. Closing thsi student GC loophole will clear up the whole EB retrogression mess "
F1 is not a scam. its legal visa. once u enter into usa on F1, u can stay here to study. while doing MS, u can also work on CPT legally. after completion of the MS degree, it is legal to stay on OPT and work. recently the US govt has increased the OPT period from 12 to 29 months. again its legal. its legal to apply for H1B while maintaining a proper F1 status or OPT.
People who dont like this.... dont either because they dont understand F1 very well, or just plainly speaking jealous or out of their mind.
i guess we should be happy if someone is making progress legally even if we are not in the same boat.:)
Let us say that i agree to what ever you say. In what way does everything you stated above make a STEM graduate eligible for GC without an Employer sponsership. Why does it have to be only STEM graduates which will not need employer sponsership. If giving GC based on completion of MS in us is bypassing the employee sponserhsip then that has to be extended to all EB categories of immigrants (EB1/EB2/EB3) and the benefit o those visas have to be passed to the badly retrogressed category first.
It si not teh question of liek or unliking or having jealousy. It is the question of law. According to the US law employee sponsership is EB category so any new bill which has to be introduced will have to follow the EB category employee sponsership rule, othwer wise it wil not see the light of the day
Personally i see no chance of this DV lottery STEM billpassing in any shape or form either now or in the future

Since AILA has also taken interest into a proposal like this Don't you think we should engage them in planning the next strategy.
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
The link you have posted seems to talk about allowing to file for 485 even though the priority date may not be current.
It would be difficult to combine both the proposals. The combination would mean that everyone would enjoy the benefits of being allowed to continue living and working in the country with no annual limit. Which basically means no control of immigrants.
I am not in anyway opposing this. But we need to look at it based on how the decision makers are going to perceive it.
I feel what is being proposed by 'realizeit' is realistic and will not hamper the annual limits. It would be good if someone has contacts with the AILA and can persue the matter as a coalition effort.

jsb,
Yes...I am aware of the facts that you mention...but now that data entry is made since long, the ND has no value.
Last year when the EB2 PD's were current for 28 days in August, only those RD's whose data was entered in TSC had chance of getting GC's. In other words, receipts are now generated for all '07 fiasco filers and hence the ND has no value!
That said if a Service Center rep says about the ND replacing the RD in their system, then it is time for corrective action. With these small windows of PD being current, why take chances!
What are the odds for RD - Aug 16th 2007 and ND - Oct 11th 2007
InTheMoment - Based on what you are saying, its RD?

There are so many 'Thank you' threads running and its hard to keep track of everything. Anyways, I posted this elsewhere and am proud to post it again here. Read on....
I was just curious as to how many from Core Team will benefit from today's news. So I looked at the core team's GC details and here is the summary:
1. 8 out of 12 Core Team Members WILL NOT BENEFIT from today's news.
2. Because 6 of them are stuck in BEC
3. 2 of them are in the final stages of their GC.
But still they fought for this cause and never ever felt 'Why should I care'! Tears came running down when I looked at the details. You are just awesome. Though I am thankful today...I am thankful for the day I found this site and am thankful to god almighty for giving me an opportunity to know you all and work with you guys.
I also sincerely hope and wish that you all will get out of the mess you are in right now and we are with you till the end.
I totally agree. I dont know if I were in their position, if I would take the initiative and interest to aggressively pursue this.
Hats off to the Core team!!

There is no point in sending flowers knowing nothing gonna change. it is like putting flowers to us.
Everyone has a different reason for doing this. I for one do not believe, this will give us any interim benefits. But Iam here for the long haul (2-5 years). I know that if we need to fix the system (get visa cap raised), we have to start somewhere. This will, hopefully get some conversations started in the media/congress. Who knows, this along with other initiatives that IV is undertaking/undertaken along with industry support, we might get it done in a few years.
If not, atleast I would go to bed thinking I tried...
