We have more then 1000 members online..
Should we start our fund drive..
Just kidding but won't hurt to do it though as everybody is so happy..
I think we should, this is a good time, people are happy. We should ask them to sign-up for monthly.

Since you are a Canadian you can apply for a visitor visa (B1) – by applying the visa we will be in legal status until a decision is taken. B1 visa is generally approved if you give the reason of finishing up matters in US (like selling house/cars/closing bank accounts/credit accounts etc). I guess you are asking just to be informed but if it really happens another option for you is TN1 – if you have not yet applied for 485.
But they never know when you leave really, at least if you're canadian. By going home, all I do is give the CANADIAN immigration officer the i-94 paper with the h1 stamp when i enter canada if i don't plan on returning to the US again, at least on that visa. Plus, they never ask, so it's really up to you to give it to them. And getting a visitor visa, canadians automatically enter on 6month visitor status as default, no stamping required. If you're flying, all you have to do is tell them you're coming back to canada. If you drive across the border, they don't care to ask. So i guess i can just hop back to vancouver for a weekend and come back as a visitor and be fine then (to clean up affairs, or just hang out for 6 months).

Commercial airlines fly between 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft. Airlines generally take risks for profits. I know it. Some airlines like United are ultra sensitive to turbulence. Some fly right through turbulence. And sometimes I feel some pilots are plain incompetent, they have no control over aircraft during the storm.
I have personally taken 500+ flights, almost 2 every week. And I can say, I get really nervous when turbulence or strong clouds are present. You are one second away from the big one. Always always wear seat belt during turbulence, if it gets severe, you will hit the head on the ceiling. The turbulence during take off and landing is usually more risky as aircraft is closer to ground and can not afford to lose altitude. If it is at a higher altitude, aircraft can lose some altitude, due to "air pockets" and still be ok.
yes, i do understand that. I still donot understand why fly into a "thunderstorm"!

Being bitter does not get us anywhere..
I agree with you as well. Though feeling disheartened certainly we should not name them all here on thread. And I am just making request to that group (not attended meeting - After RSVP OR even did not send RSVP). I know one member (never active visibly during any of meetings organized so far and/or never even active on texasiv board) somehow decided to call me (On my cell phone - plan with very less day time minutes) various times in past for having help for his immigration problems. I always helped him (And decided not to even ask him about his passiveness on texasiv board ). Now probably he might be thinking himself smart for using me but he does not have a clue that he is not cheating me or he is not cheating IV, he is cheating himself. That person is definately here for $ only and I am 100% sure he does not have a clue about the "history" of "immigration" and probably does not have a clue about "How and what USA is except $"... He certainly might not be aware about Japanese (Citizens) kicked out after pearl horbour... I pray that kind of time never comes in his life but if at all he may have to face that he would not survive for a moment with this attitude.
All in all what I am saying is we should not name anybody here who is passive and all passive ones should understand the seriousness of the problem what they are in and start being active.

23 (out of 31) of the co-sponsors for HR 5882 are Dems. not to mention the main sponsor is also Dem.
I did not say all of the dems, by same token not all republicans support immigration (legal or otherwise).
What I am saying is that generally, republicans have (even if it is to spite the efforts of people pushing illegal immigration) been more supportive of legal than illegal immigration.
While many democrats have been supportive, the one of the main reasons for the delay are the dems themselves, their crappy CHC, who dont want to allow any immigration bill till the illegals are elevated on the pedestal. The Dem leadership have put the immigration issue a hostage to the whims of CHC.

Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...
Well thats our opinion/preception or even truth. If you need to work in the US, you need to be good in english as its their national laungage.
I am giving this one for example...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7317794.stm
So even if you are a greate talent and could not speak even a word in english forget about coming to US.

Hello mmandal,
Many of us who visit IV forums everyday know that snethil1 is an idiot. I would highly recommend more people to add him to your ignore list, just as I did. I read his post because you quoted him in your post. Otherwise his posts do not even show up on my screen. He and his posts are inconsequential if you add him to your ignore list.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
This guy's a congenital pessimist.
Companies were vague on numbers. So how could they satisfy Senators. I knew only a few companies gave detail about open positions including Microsoft, Intel and oracle. How you can impress Senate or house? But anti immigrants gave all the layoff numbers, h1b numbers used and details of abuses happened for past few years. It is not just money power will win. With facts and numbers if you have money power then you can win. That is reason for past 3 years H1b numbers or GC numbers were not increased inspite of heavy lobbying.

It amazes me how people like you exist in your lala land...why don't you also change the congress and the the house rep that way you will get exactly what you want. Sadly you cannot even vote right!!! You can be critical of IV if you have a basis for your argument most of us like to sit on our lazy boy and do nothing. So instead of saying we need a change why don't you do something about it empty words mean nothing in this forum.
I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

My dear brothers and sisters,
First of all I congratulate all the IV members who really worked very hard and contributed $ to make this rally a success. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the rally due to personal reasons which I could not explain here in detail. but I have contributed $ to IV and will be doing more contributions.
I think we need to get the media attention of top new channels like CNN, FoxNews, LA Times, Washington post etc. One way to get their attension is by a car rally from one city to another city with banners on top of our cars / vans in a co-ordinated way. i.e from LA to Sacramento by 100 or more cars/vans at the same time.
The other way is by sending flowers or donuts or pizzas to the news organization people i.e Larry King, Anderson, Lu Dubbs etc., by mentioning "Legal Immigrants did not get well deserved MEDIA ATTENTION and illegals got all the media attention". I am not saying that illegals should not get any media attention. We also deserve same kind of treatment. They are very busy in showing JJ Simpson on all the channels. what a shame.
We can also send flowers to the President office as well as to the parliment in grabing the media attention.
Thanks

Mr. Gotcher posts this today.
Controversy over calculation of "fall across" visa numbers (http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4610)
Long to short, Mr. Gotcher thinks the explanation of Apr. VB is an error.
I will just quote the last two paragraphs. If you are interested with this topic, you can follow the link to see detail.
************************************************
This is where the controversy arises. Do these provision require the Visa Office to let unused visa number from higher preference categories “fall down” into lower preference categories before being made available to single state quotas, or can they move unused numbers from a worldwide preference category over to single state quotas while there is still demand in the lower worldwide categories?
The Visa Office interpretation is that if there are unused numbers within a specific worldwide category, those numbers may be made available to single state quotas even if lower worldwide preference categories have visa cutoff dates because they are oversubscribed. I believe that this is an error.
