There are around 400 immigration litigation lawyers. If 10 members can volunteer and send this template it can be done. I am in between projects and I cannot devote any more time for this. ...
If you are so sure about this, why don't you consider spending your own money to get initial professional consultation. May be that will enlighten you. Many laws don't apply to Immigration Laws, so what you have written has no meaning.
Answer just this question - Can an H1-B worker claim that he/she should be sponsored for green card just because his/her coworker has been sponsored? Just think about the answer and may be you will see the reasoning.
People here are mixing different laws without knowing each law's applicability limitations.

It's important to hold the meeting soon as IV core is planning major actions in the coming days. It's highly critical to get organized ASAP without any further delay. There'll be future meetings soon, if there are major actions planned in coming days. Those who miss the event (due to unavoidable circumstances) can attend future meetings which can be held in Farmington Hills, Novi, Flint etc. based on participation.
I have no issues driving to Novi, Farmington Hills, Novi or Lansing for that matter. When I can go all the way to DC, I can drive anywhere in MI to attend the meeting. The idea behind choosing Troy is that majority of participants need not travel long distance to accomodate one or two members. As of now majority is from Oakland County. If it turns out that majority is from Lansing, Flint, Canton... wherever, I'll drive down there.
There's no need to feel left out if any are from far off places (Lansing etc.) and can't drive down to Troy. You can participate by calling the cell numbers of the participants (if any of you PM me, I can give mine). However, members living nearby need to appear in person (cell-phone participation will not be entertained)
I live in Lansing. However, I am out of town on 10/20. Can we have another option if it is not too much hassle for all of you?
Another note- Troy will be very far for people in Lansing, Grand rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Jackson. If a place like Farmington Hills or Novi is selected, it would be easier for people from the West side to come. Food for thought.

let's keep working on it.
Actually, it was published in every major paper in the US, as well as in India, China, Canada, and a number of other countries. It was this broad coverage that led to the New York Times editorial. I have also seen mention of it on several news TV channels. And more is to come. The LA Times will be doing a story very soon.

If we are educated and highly skilled that doesnot mean that we deserve automatic benefits.
In USA, political system works on coalition. If you help others then they help you in time of need.
How many of us have helped others without thinking "what is in it for me". I have seen people who are stuck in FBI Name Check and they dont help people with F1, H1, GC issue, so when one gets what (s)he wnats, everyone else is ignored.
If we want to stay in USA, then we have to leave our sofas and help other ogranizations in their cause. you don't have to agree with everything they say, but some things can always be agreed upon.
This is what I learnt from Congressman Keith Ellison.
So be part of political process at every level..city, state, etc..
Then when time comes and you need help, you will have people behind it..

Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, ofcourse)? What are they fighting for?
I don't see how. If the bills pass, then everybody in queue benefits. Simply switching to EB2 is not going to work because it is also retro. The people impacted by retrogression should take the lead in fixing the mess.

All I heard is something like below. I am not sure what I heard is correct.
1. Bes tway to take 401K out is to rollover the 401K into Roth IRA and then withdraw from the account after 5 years. You can save lot on taxes.
2. For all H1b holders, there is a form which you can fill and submit to IRS which says you want to get all the SSN money back. But once you fill out this form and get the money back, you SHOULD NEVER enter US for any reason. I do not know what the form is.

I'm a South Indian and I have never had issues with Hindi or Hindi-speaking people. In fact, many of my friends are Hindi-speaking and I'm quite well-versed with the language as well (why not?). You cannot make a blanket statement saying that everyone speaking a particular language is rude or has bad attitude. Just goes to show one's ignorance.
Just look around and see what's keeping this country together? You can move from NY to LA without having to think twice. Try doing that back home ;)
THINK!
Again its personal choice, desire and necessity.

Obama is no panacea either. Why do you think someone with little experience is a liability to be second in command, but the same lack of experience is admirable quality for the first in command.
Also, Obama has been changing his positions on issues to pander to the voters, I doubt he will be any different from Bush either. The only change you are going to see is in himself -- not the way things are done. He will probably pay more of the tax monies to people who gambled with their houses (and are still not being punished for it).
Obama's lack of experience does not bother me as much as Palins because you have to see what people have done in whatever experience they have had. Obama did community service, has had a strong moral fiber in whatever he has said. Palin has already abused whatever little power she had. Being a senator Obama has atleast been exposed to world-wide issues. I bet Palin cant even locate Georgia on the map. Did you see her recent interview? In spite of it being carefully staged, see her stumble aimlessly when it comes to the question of the Bush Doctrine... The biggest foreign policy change this country made (decision to make pre-emptive attacks) and Palin does not have an opinion on it because she does not even know what it is. The interviewer had to tell her what teh Bush Doctrine is all about. Are'nt you scared of a person like that leading the US? Why does this country always pick screwed up vice presidents (Dick Cheney's approval ratings have been <30% for as long as I can recall)
Either way, from an immigration point of view (focus of this forum) we are screwed (see my previous post for stances of both presidential candidates)

The Department of State has available a recorded message with visa availability information which can be heard at: 202-663-1541. This recording will be updated in the middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following month.
if you call this number ...but it just means they haven't updated it.

If I were you I would not go after chasing USCIS. But this is what I would do.Enjoy your GC and freedom
Congratulations and enjoy your green card! Don't worry about the priority dates not being current when yours was approved. My green card was approved in September 2007, sometime after the July fiasco wherein the PD for all categories became unavailable. Since my gc approval, I've been in and out of the US, and I hadn't had any single problem getting back in.

Your argument is that the country quotas help limit nepotism and discrimination based on national origin. However, this is already prohibited under DOL rules if you look at form ETA-750A. Therefore, if this is happening, it means there is a failure in the labor certification system to prevent this type of discrimination. Also, nepotism is not all bad as the Clintons and Bushes have been demonstrating :D.
The country quota owes its origin and sustenance to deep national insecurities around race. It will change eventually as the makeup of the nation changes over time. In the short term we will see movement as the UK bumps up against the 7% limit.
Honestly speaking; if the laws were followed the way they were meant to be; it would be extremely, extremely difficult to get h-1b; labor processing and 140's approved.
Right now USCIS, DOL and consulates are really after people. Be careful what you wish for; there are a lot of things under the carpet.

Because of the country quota what you have said below is applicable to only people from India, because of the tremendous competition from Indian applicatants you would need the highest points , ms or phd, 5 years experience, employer sponsorship, and also relatives, but if you are from non Indian countries then you will easily get it because there is not much if any competition.
For example people from India might need 90+ points to have any chance but people from other countries might need just 60 points to get in. This is not merit based system, it is Kennedy Diversity Visa disguised as merit system.
I have one question regarding your view. Actually point system gives points to the US experience and employer sponsorship. Because of limited number of greencards Those who are not having both of this may not be able to get green card. If you give your calculation everyone will get clear about. I think MS with 5 year US experience will get more points than fresh Phd. That serves the purpose. If that is the case then only eligible people will get gc.

What I am saying is - when dealing with things outside of your home country - you cannot expect or assume fairness to you.
lol, are you saying that an american does not expect to be treated fairly in canada?
or you have accepted racism as a part and parcel of being born an indian?
if so, believe me, you are in the minority.
