I just found out that I will not be getting the stimulus as my wife is cannot get a SSN. In addition, we will not be getting stimulus amount for our American born daughter.
We have been here for a year and a half and while there are some benefits to being in America, my wife and I are trying hard to understand why we moved here from Canada (saving taxes is no benefit when compared to having to deal with ignorance all around). My being here is benefiting an American company (which did not have the expertise that I brought to them and this country) and thereby this country.
If I were to leave the company, a number of people would lose their jobs and I would take my expertise somewhere else.....
Is it true that almost everything done in America is poorly planned and lacks foresight and common sense? Our experience here to date is giving us this impression.....
I would be interested in joining with others against the IDIOTS who don't understand who is benefitting this country.

I really don't think an attorney will give out their client information. They might even face a law suite for doing that. How would you feel if you found out that your attorney gave out your personal info?? :confused:
One of the ways, I was thinking of to increase membership to the newly created Nebraska chapter is to approach the local attorney's office and get contact information of the pending applicants from them . More targeted approach .
Now before I take action,few questions.
1. Am I kidding myself :-( no attorney would part with such information, Client-Attorney privileges.
2. Has it been attempted by anyone before??

WHICH is why we need to contact the Lawmakers NOW about this and request more transparency.
I called Kennedy and Cornyn. Asked them if they are aware of the issue. They are not. Did you call? Kennedy 202 224 4543, Cornyn 202 224 2934. I also aksed if Kennedy is going to send letters to two agencies as Rep Lofgren did as he is the senate immigration sub committe chair

Current Developments on Prevailing Wage Determination
Along with the implementation of the PERM system, there were changes made to the Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) process. The new PWD has a four level hierarchy where the first level is the lowest level. The prevailing wage is the minimum wage required that the employer must meet as determined by the State Wage Determination officials. The prevailing wage varies from state to state, as different State Workforce Agencies may determine the prevailing wage differently. After the adoption of the 4 level prevailing wage hierarchy, people have been worried that occupations requiring a master�s degree might be put in the highest level of the hierarchy. In our practice of cases for positions requiring a master�s degree, with an experience requirement of 2 years the PWD level has usually been set at the second level. Only for those senior positions specified by the job description or other management positions will the PW be bumped to the third or fourth level. As a result, as long as there is an experienced attorney who can make an effective design, the prevailing wage may be kept within a certain range.
If you scan the PERM data from fldatacenter. There are approx 3200 EB2-I (wage level IV)certified labors for PD up until 06/01/2006. Not sure about BEC certified labors. Based on the perm data ,DOS just needs approx 10000 visa number to clear the EB2-I PERM cases. I think DOS is right on.
Note: some of you have considered Level III in their calculation which is not correct. Because I am EB2 and my Labor says level IV for wage level.

My earlier offered me ticket to my home country when they let me go. They specified in letter that they are offerring this according to the law. But I think its not neccessary to have employer to send termination letter to USCIS. Actually person can request company to stop sending this letter if employer is intend to. This way employer will not going to loose anything.

Thanks for devoting a whole paragraph to me.. but wasn't that the point to begin with. "Battering of members publicly or personally" What good does it do to the movement?
I rest my case....
heard you loud and clear,
and usually take complaints very well.
but when someone only complains and spends time undermining us and our efforts elsewhere and when they return only to take potshots...i reserve my right. you are actively harming this organization by your actions and it's not hidden to us, therefore you are retarding our goals- and those will benifit all 25,000 here- active, passive etc. not every person is creating value here and that is the fact. your attitude is childish, i will say it again. it's childish because your purpose is not to improve things in any way or help us achieve our goals but to prove some silly point about how you were treated in the past. but this is the last time i'm bothering, i want to move beyond this. some of us have better things to do than lurk around and wait to score personal points. you have already stated you have no wish to contribute further in any way. so be it.
also know that free speech is all well and good. but no organization will allow it's forums to be used to undermine it's objectives. try doing it on numbers usa or alipac and see how long you last.

I understand your concerns that if there's a huge crowd, nothing will come out of it, in all the din created by the crowd and everyone throwing their suggestions.
Right now the question is hypothetical as we don't have a overwhelming confirmations of 100+! Even a crowd of 25 is okay, if we can reach that number. Since this is the first ever MI level meet, I will be surprised (and happy too) if we cross 25-30.
If it's 100+ a new level of pre-planning will be necessary. Our leaders ( cagedcatcus? chintu25?) will need to book a hall, set a clear and focused agenda (so that we don't lose focus), get IV core to address us by telephone/speaker phones, they can even persuade an Immigration attorney (trying to reach out to future clients) to address our questions etc.. It will be a different ball game! It can be handled effectively without limiting numbers.
I think for first meeting 10-12 are enough. Let us meet and decide upon the strategy to have more people. I would prefer not to have lot of people in the first meeting.

IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence.
From Lobbying and Legislation (http://www.policylink.org/AdvocatingForChange/Lobbying/Legislators.html).
Be persistent. Lobbying campaigns rarely come to a definitive end.
If your proposed legislation is defeated, there is frequently another opportunity to reintroduce it. Don�t be discouraged. Often it takes several tries to pass a measure, especially one that seeks to bring about an important change.
If you win, do not get complacent. Monitor implementation and make sure your legislation is fully funded. Look out for opposition attempts to undo or diminish your victory by trying to repeal your legislation, filing litigation to overturn it, or seeking regulations to significantly weaken its implementation

Dude, don't judge everybody with the same yard stick.
Gotcher has been very helpful for a lot us who are looking for anwers. You may not agree with his analysis for personal reasons, just keep it that way.
Don't try to just come up with stories.
Even if he gets some publicity so what? Atleast he is earning it by helping a lot of people.
i dont think its a controversy. mr. Gotcher does not agree with the interpretation. Maybe its a way to generate some additional revenues for his firm by increased traffic to the blog and potentially a class action lawsuit on behalf of the ROW people.

I would think and HOPE that seeing this thresd and message from Logiclife, MOST people who have been visiting IV and not contributed money or time will do atleast ONE of the following:
1. Just register on the website.
2. Join State chapters.
3. One time contributions to the 30K Omnibus fund drive.
4. Join for monthly contributions.
5. Volunteer via State chapters.
If people don't even do this, it is obvious one or more of these can be made of them.
1. They are our "friendly" visitors from ALIPAC.
2. They are incapable of helping themselves via IV efforts. Thus the word 'Cowards' fits rather well for them.
3. They are so broke that they have time to browse the website but don't have any money to contribute.
In my very very very honest opinion, either one of the above reasons makes you a very sad and selfish individual. I am sure we have many many good people that can help and will help, it is just a matter of injecting some urgency.
We have a great organisation and capable core leadership. We have seen lots of new members joining. We have a huge task in front of us and we will all need to put at least the basic effort. Thanks to all those who are contributing and those who will be contributing.

Major reform is "not viable in this Congress," added Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, chairwoman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration. (http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7437469)
There is also opposition to consider piecemeal options which treat legal immigration reform separately.
I am generally a very optimistic person but not seeing whats really viable this year.
I understand that IV is looking into other angles as well. Once again not sure.
Can IV core comment about what our realistic chances are?
Please dont answer "Join your state chapters". I am already a state chapter member.

Since this bill has EB based provisions and does not have controversial guest workers program, would it make more sense to support this bill if it were to be tabled on senate floor instead of Specter's bill? Especially since house is totally opposed to any bill which has a guest worker program.
Moderators and those involved with IV's lobbying firm give it a thought as this bill will be less controversial than specter's.

Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas (note: I consider this as a grab because from skill/CIR bills; we are trying to recapture unused visas and make them available to ALL EB immigrants rather than allocating them to one special group). But according to this news item on immigration-law there seems a non-immigrant visa H1C available for nurses. Is this true? am I misreading this?
==========news item follows==================
02/13/2007: DOL Announcement of Processing of H-1C Labor Attestations
The Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 took effect December 20, 2006. The Act reauthorized the H-1C nonimmigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Under this program, eligible hospitals file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification which, if approved, will support nonimmigrant worker petitions filed with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Department of Health and Human Services has informed the Office of Foreign Labor Certification that the same hospitals eligible for the original program continue to be eligible. These were listed in the Department of Labor's Interim Final Rule implementing its portion of the H-1C program published on August 22, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 51138). The Employment and Training Administration, under the authority of the new public law, is reinstating the H-1C labor attestation program and is accepting applications by qualified hospitals. Eligible hospitals should be advised that the now-expired OFLC form (ETA 9081), Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses, has not been authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for current use. However, the OFLC will accept applications using the expired form until a new form is approved by the OMB. The attestations are made enforceable by the 2005 Act. ETA is in the process of revising the form under the OMB clearance process, and taking other appropriate regulatory action. Once approved by OMB, employers will be required to use only the new form.
