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.
This makes sense. Every individual is looking for a personal gain behind the bigger cause. Hate it if you may, but in general individual think first personal gains than for a cause unless they are big hearted. I dont think every one on IV is big hearted other than the core. Showing some personal benefit through IV would definetly trigger the individuals to volunteer more. Why people hop on to IV now is because it gives some thing personal to them ( may be for now some good immigration info which they dont get else where- that is the benefit for the individual).
I guess IV has already been doing some of the beneficial activities for the members like weekly legal clarifications /meetings, etc. May be some more of these activities that touch the personal lives would definetly bolster the participation for the bigger cause.
My 2 cents

Since stay in India need to be very short and also my travel is very near, I need to know whether it is safe to travel on an approved I 797 from my current employer?
I already have a H1 B VISA stamped on my passport with previous employer's name that expires on 30 Nov 2009.
Also, I would like to know whether I should select yes/no to the following question?
Are you applying for the same class of visa which is currently valid or has expired within the past 12 months?*
Is H1B Transfer = H1B Renewal?
Thanks in advance.

This thread was dead in October last year. This guy MartianSoldier restarted it ( and notice he has only 1 post ) for just one reason - start infighting among indians from different states.
Anyone falling into his trap and fighting on the thread ?
Martiansoldier really belongs not on Mars but in a mental asylum. Please don't post on this thread unless it has really got something to do with PIO card or the Indian consulate.
Remember United we stand and Divided we fall.
@hpandey:
Congratulations on working hard to figure out where I belong but too bad, it wasn't worth it nor will it ever matter to anyone where I belong!
You might want to ask ameryki to stop thread jacking before you blame me. I did not start any infighting nor did I start the Hindi topic! I just responded to a stupid post by ameryki and I sure as hell have every right to voice my opinions. If you don't like it, do what you will and move on!
I've got to make myself clear about my first reason though.
When I mean attitude of the people that speak it, I mean the attitude of those that speak it to me after I have politely mentioned in English that I do not know the language and yet those morons begin a lecture that I have to know the language because I am a citizen of the nation and it doesn't matter where I live. The constitution of India does not state that every citizen of India must know Hindi nor does it state that no matter where in the world an Indian lives, he must know Hindi to be an Indian citizen.
At the end of the day, no matter what anyone says or thinks of me, I still don't have one good reason to learn Hindi! Yet, I am a Proud Citizen of Indian and there is nothing that people like hpandey or ameryki can do about it! This is the truth and so will it remain!
@ snathan:
We're not alone and I'm sure that you'd agree that we're no less Indian citizens than anyone that speaks Hindi. What we type here isn't going to change the fact that we're treated differently by those Indian citizens who speak Hindi and most of those that speak it would never ever change their attitude toward us for not knowing it.
I've got better things to do than help hpandey or ameryki understand what it would feel like to be in our shoes and I ain't gonna bother. Like I have my opinion, they have theirs!
Cheers everyone! It is time for me to move on.

First of all,based on the information you provided i believe that
1. You are continuously employed WITHOUT any gap, meaning working 40 hrs/ week and clean history of pay stubs, W2s etc
2. You have been working for only one employer at any given point of time, as a full time employee
IF What i said above is true, then RFE makes no sense. because based on the H1B rules and regulations, one can have multiple H1Bs BUT can only work for ONE employer as full time, meaning 40hrs/week.
It is also completely legal that one can work up to 20hrs/week for second employer by paying proper taxes . but in your case i believe that you have worked for only one employer and i think you can show the evidence.
Please contact your attorney and draft a response carefully
Please correct me if were wrong
Thanks Satya. Your two assumptions are correct.

Is this true for Consular Processing applications as well ? I thought CPs are filed at the local US consulate (Mumbai in our case). Additionally, I have a question about I-485 - CP filing and retrogression. Once we file the 485, does the CP get stuck in case there is retrogression in a few months time or is it that once we have applied the process keeps going ? Thanks in advance for the information.
Do not go for CP. My friend did the same thing in 2005 and he was in india 2 days before his interview in the mumbai consulate and dates retrogressed and they cancelled his interview and had to come back...since he did not file for I-485 he did not get his ead and is still stuck in retrogression untill now.
I had chosen the option of CP in my I-140 application but now i am going to file AC21 to change that to adjustment of status so i can take advantage of EAD and AP..The dates are surely going to retrogresss severly in Sept and thats not enough time to get an interview (min 3 months) in an embassy abroad..
So do not go for CP

This is confusing. In that case how do they make ROW current or PDs way ahead of India? In other words, how do they know without touching a file that PD of a ROW file is current and is eligible to get GC!
Think about the flip side. If this is true, then once they preadjuridict all cases, thousands of ROW cases will immediately become eligible to get GC and India / China will not move for year(s)!
:D
They have already provided some kind of information to the Ombudsman's office so they must already have that information. It makes no sense otherwise how they would determine how many number of visa's they have available for each country or determine what are the PD's for each country.
OR
They do not have any program that can do it like that and that is why they did not use the full quota of visas which might have come out due to the inquiry of the Ombudsman's office.
Nixtor,
I did not say it was easy with bureaucracy and security, my response had those concerns highlighted on the other hand you may be right about the process being extremely manual where a physical verification is needed on each file which means all of us are in deep sh**t because they are working on some vague assumptions that visa numbers are /arent available and in the process we might be losing out something more or there is probably a gaint 'REGISTER' somewhere where people go and make physical entries :D:D every time a visa is allocated which will give the count... like an account book. all the above in jest ofcourse
Something ought be done about it and either way we should report it to Media and Ombudsman's office and if we still want to pay up the $5000 we can do so.

Ok, firstly, if you are really honest about your feelings, no one is really happy for another unless what the other has done is useful to you. You can wax your eloquence with claims to contrary, but you know it is true. So stop this pretensions.
Ok, you want a constructive suggestion? Rat on everyone who is doing fake jobs, is a body-shopee, bought his GC etc. That should get rid of at least 20-30% (conservative numbers). How many will support it? I guess not many.
How about asking USCIS to make the priority date of the substituted applications to be the day 140 is filed? Any takers there? I guess not.
And then people have the gall to tell us to be happy for Eb2ers, and that we are jealous.
PS: I realize that substitution is no longer possible, I mean to ask USCIS to retroactively apply the priority dates for such cases.
sc3, First of all let me express understanding of your agony and disappointment. If I were in your situation, probably I'll be talking like you.:)
You recite several unfair things. Who said there aren't any unfair things around? IV has feeble power when comapred to the massive muscle and money power of various lobbies who are stacked against us. In this context saying things that could undermine the unity of IV members can only further undermine any future efforts. Are you saying IV should "rat out" these people who have fake jobs and work for body shops?
A very dissproportionaely large number of EB3ROW and EB3I were adjudicated last June 2007, one ecould say at the expense of EB2-I. It is not unreasonable for EB2-I members to feel this way.
The question should be what to do now? There is no other way than lobbying for recapture bill.

My 'Employer #2' H1B I-94 and 'Employer X' H1B I-94 numbers matches with I-94 number that I got at 'POE'.
Receipt Data is July-2006 for 'Employer X' H1B.
......
Could you please provide following info
1. I-797 dates for Employer 2 and X
2. Last Date of entry in USA
3. Date when I-485 was filed
I-94 number being same does not mean much. One can have same I-94 number for COS from H1 to F1. On the other hand, one can have different I-94 with H-1B transfer. Typically, H-1B transfer means new H-1B petition for the beneficiary who is/was in H-1B status and is not subject to H-1 cap.
If beneficiary's initial H-1B was counted against cap in last 6 years, then subsequent H-1B petitions are not subject to cap and usually referred as H-1B transfers.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Guys,

My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks

I had extremely bad experience with them .
It even came to the point that I had to decline a job offer after I had learned that the new company is also their client.

You must promote your state chapter by starting a thread and keeping it alive so those visiting the forums will know. (most people only look at latest threads)
Where is the link to your state chapter in your signature?
Well , As I have said in my earlier post I contacted the IV powers-that-be to start the Nebraska state chapter about 3 weeks ago, after initial response (asking for my phone number , which I provided) I am yet to hear from them.
Once the chapter is started, I will do whatever is needed to promote the chapter including starting a thread here and modifying my signature.
