I made the contribution before I logged into IV. I guess thats the reason my status doesnt show up as 'donor'. Any way to fix it?
We have your email from paypal .
Later we will cross reference by matching your email id and assign your id to the donor list.
thanks

JSB,
You are right.....even if EB2 PD becomes current and it takes 3 years for TSC dates to move forward to our ND dates....we are not going to have approval before then. So my earlier logic that being current on the basis of PD is meaningless unless you have ND which is current.
You rightly said that there are thousands of applicants with ND prior to you and they will be handled prior to your case............unfortunate but that is true.....and ofcourse preadjudication is a myth as usual...
SoP

I never claimed any amount for this holiday gift on this thread yet but what if I want to donate $31 or per say $ 81 one time, I do not have that option now and so I will end up not donating now and wait and donate when I feel comfortable with $ 100/- or its multiplications. That is called turning away and if you guys do not see any danger into it I do not have any further words.
Fund raising is an art and I believe our current startegy is lacking that art. If you guys see the base of any major successful fund raising (Grass root level not Political ones, mind well we claim ourselves grass root level organization)you will always find donors with $ 1 to donors with $1 million donatiing as per their will. Grass root level fund raisings can not afford constraints which normally goes successful in political and/or industrial fund raisings.
Some of the strong supporters of current policy, in their argument, automatically assume that willing donor always used to spend $ 100/- frequently for drinks or food and may be living lavish life style. But they are partly wrong in their assumption...I myself never eat outside frequently. Even on a travel trip I cook my food by myself and I normally do not drink sodas or alcohol so what abhijitp has given a example at least does not remain valid for me but I can not say that it is completely out of proportion, as it has some valid logic but it can not be true for everyone.
Point is if we make a wrong based fund raising policy, we may hurt ourselves only. I know my option, if I want to donate odd figure now, I will not be able to donate it now, and I will have to wait till I feel comfortable donating $ 100/- and/or single digit multiplications of $ 100/- but would that be considered a good and wise option?
For an example, I am emotionally charged today and I want to donate $ 61/-(As I may plan that much only..for whatever reasons) but I am not able to donate so I will not donate and say after 4 months I will be able to plan $ 100/- but what if at that time I may not be emotionally charged to donate all together? So end effect would be I will end up donating nothing ( This is just an example..:))
And for the sake of argument if you enrolled yourself $50/- recurring, you did it willingly and so would you change to $ 25/- recurring if $ 25/-option is available to you? (Note: I think most people on this board fear that with having a minimum amount option, most people will turn to that only but that may not be 100% true. and even if it may become true it will end up having more donation flow) For most people answer is no, I believe, They will stick to $ 50/- recurring option as they can afford and they did it willingly. But with current policy we are completely turning away the people who may otherwise donate, for an example $ 20/- monthly-recurring policy may turn 40 new commited donors in whereas $50/- recurring option is creating only 10 donors and thus we may be ending up $ 300/- confirmed donation loss per month. This is just an example and based on assumption that less amount would attract more commited donors.
Having said all this, if majority memebrs and core still feel that this will be the only future standard for accepting donations then as I mentioned above, I will have only one option left and that is to wait till I become comfortable for donating $ 100/- ( I will remain emotionally charged...:))
Some answers.
1) Paskal has already suggested how you can donate an odd figure with a personal check... it is a matter of time.
2) I think you can paypal whatever amount you want to IV using PAYPAL. You just need to know the email address of IV, as registered with paypal. I just sent you a PM, please check.
3) For the latest event conducted by North California chapter, we were accepting ANY amount for a contribution. I repeat, ANY amount. Would you like to know how many folks contributed in the end??
4) You are missing the point about expenses on gas/ food/ drink. Actually I have no business asking anyone to stop eating out (I know I love to do it every once in a while:))
My point is, you make no investment in your own quality of life when you do it. So why not invest some amount every month in your own future?
Do you think things will somehow miraculously change and get you your green card faster?
Would you also please note that some folks are working tirelessly and/or contributing regularly even as those who will benefit much sooner than themselves from this effort, choose not to pay even $10 a month to sustain this kind of a mammoth effort?
Please think about it, thanks!

Guys,
off late we have been getting a steady stream of good news, updates , changes mostly to our favor.
It is not because someone in govt thought of giving us a break (if they did then I say give him/her a promotion/ merit increase what ever)....
It IS because people just like YOU fought for it....
Support IVs efforts ... these guys are putting their heart and soul into it... these guys are trying to help you fight.... these guys are one of YOU.
We ALL share a common goal,
Piece by piece, amendment by amendment, exec order by exec order, slowly but surely they will try and do the best they can to make your lives easier, OUR lives easier.
Please help .... donate to sustain OUR efforts.

The labor substitution was meant to have the employer not lose his place in the queue. However people started abusing it and that was closed.
So if any, please focus your energy on recapture.
Well, you can find many similar questions in life.
I agree that properly user Labor substitution is not a wrong thing to do. My employer had an approved labor and the guy had left so he used it for me since it is the same position skills etc. By the way, I have been in the US since 2000 and had not applied till 2005. So it is a valid thing to do if not abused. As to those cases where they paid money to get the labor sub done, I agree it is unethical.

The problem is not that the name is mentioned incorrectly, just that it is not in "first name/given name" and "last name/surname" format.
All you need to do is:
1) Write a cover letter to the Indian consulate that has jurisdiction on your case based on state of residence, requesting an "Observation" in your passport clarifying your "first name" as --- and your "last name" as ---
2) Fill up a miscellaneous services form (available on consulate website). Attach 1 passport photo. Under "PLEASE ISSUE", check "Others" and write "Observation in passport to clarify 'first name', 'last name'"
3) Include a bank cashier's check of $10.00 payable to "Consulate General of India"
4) Include a self addressed and pre-paid USPS express mail envelope in the package.
If you send the package to the consulate using overnight service, you should receive the passport with observation within 5-7 business days. If applying in person, they may do it on the same day.

Can someone with a paypal account come forward and take over a fund? Anyone with a paypal account can donate any amount using a nickname and we can publish the nickname along with the amount donated on this thread. That way we have accountability and also have a better idea of how many flowers we can send. That person with the paypal account can then order the flowers on Saturday by the latest.
Others, if they want, can send the flowers on their own also.
Just a suggestion... If we can do this, I believe more people will come forward!
Anyone who has donated to IV should be able to do this...

Here is something to read for you:
IV in 5/2006:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=948&highlight=manager%27s+amendment
About 4000 members, 2800 of which had not contributed anything, and even then IV managed to pull off this amazing feat.
This amendment was PASSED although the CIR bill failed to survive.
In other words, if there had been a bill only to address EB GC reforms, there was a great chance YOU would be able to file for your I-485 even if your PD was not current!
IV in 11/2007:
1) IV has 25000+ members.
2) The EB GC reforms proposed and passed as an amendment in mid-2006 are long overdue!
3) IV has gathered a lot of admiration and attention after the flower campaign/ SJ Rally-> leading to the July VB reversal, and of course the DC rally!
Even if 2500 of them pay $50 a month, IV would have a steady flow of $125000 a month for lobbying efforts.
Just imagine what IV could accomplish in the next few months, if only people realized how important it is for them to sign up for monthly contributions!
Think about it!
Thanks!

This is ridiculous. Just trying to blame a good Sherrif.
I am from AZ and Sherrif Joe is the best and the whole country should be proud of him.
He is doing the job which is supposed to be done by Federal govt and ICE, trying to take care of a border state county.
Well you always have critics when you are doing a good job or he wont keep getting elected again and again.
I'm from AZ too but that's besides the point. We are definitely not discussing if Sheriff Joe is the best or not. Being humane is what most people are talking about.

You are eligible to apply under masters quota. There is no special form for the masters cap. However, lets hope that your attorney has checked the box of h1b for "US Masters" and send application to USCIS with ATTN: H-1B U.S. Masters Cap

Hi,
My wife is in F-1 status, but I�m afraid to change to F-2 right now and loose the opportunity of transfer the H1 to a new employer... unluckily finding a job has not been an easy task, since I am in Puerto Rico and here the situation is not good.
My last paystub is June 14th, and I was wondering to apply on July 2nd, but because on delays with the medicals I got trapped in the Visa Bulletin fiasco mess.
I've talked with several local lawyers and none of them has given me hopes beyond the F-2 status.
Some friends recommended to file I485, but I don't want to risk for an RFE :(
I'm trying to be strong for my family specially for my kids, the older one cries everytime he hears us talking about leaving PR.
Good luck to you all.

Harish,
In the initial update release by INS, it is stated that
"USCIS will reject all cap-subject H-1B petitions for FY 2008 received on or after Wednesday, April 4, 2007."
They are saying that they will reject and they obviously are not meaning that they will REFUSE the Courier/ Post the application materials received after this date. So, it could happen that they will accept all applications that are being sent but will reject only after they confirm that they have reached the limit.
So, what if Master;s quota does not reach the limit? so still might have a chance. So, try to find an employer who will be willing to hire you and sponsor your H1 under Master;s quota. So, if they have received less applications and start looking for the ones received after April 4th you might stand a chance.
One another factor is "You do not have a masters degree yet and you will not have it until May as you are graduating in May. So how will your application be treated as Masters" here is my thinkng
you will file with all the available supporting documents and you will make it appear as if you indeed are filling under Master's quota. Your application will have insufficient doccumentation and they will raise a query on your app. and by the time this happens you can hope that you will receive your degree, or you will delay it till the maximum possible extent and will send them back with supporting Masters Degree. Again these are just my thinking you might want to validate with some professionals as whether or not this logic stands a chance.
Even, if you do not get a chance to apply now. I do not think you need to defer your master. Go aheah and complete your masters as planned and accept the opt. You will apply for H1 in 2008 for H1 to start from October. Now, the question is about the period June - October 2008. You can enril your selves in some short term course, Kaplan has some which will also give you I20. So these courses will help you sail during this period.
Hope this long content helps!!!
