No offense, but, I would continue or increase my contribution, not because someone else is doing so or not doing so, or not if I would I get a tax break or not, but just because of my sheer appreciation of the IV core group's amazing efforts.
I have not (in the recent past) seen such a group of dedicated, decent and diginified people working together in a selfless manner to achieve something not only for their own good but for the good of hundreds and thousands of their fellow "sometimes not so polite, not so patient" sufferers.
I see my contribution to IV something similar to a contribution to a church or a temple. You give, not so that you'll benefit out of it, but because at the end of the day it is money well spent for a good cause.
If you benefit out of the efforts possible by your contribution, that's a nice bonus.
I don't look at my contribution as "I pay $20 I should get $100 in return".
For me, it is not an investment, but a good expenditure for worthy cause.
Thank you so much for saying this. Worthy cause-yes- is it not our cause!?
guys, come on you are all members here, because you want relief from retrogression. It is your cause.

Yes agreed. But, now we have a bill, what can we do to give momentum to it ?

I renewed my passport under tatkal this month. I mailed application overnight on Thursday and Monday got a call from Houston that Money Order attached is less 50 than actual. I mailed balance next day overnight, it reached them on Wednesday and got my passport after 4 business days.
rct_bulk, Could you tell how much you had to pay finally to get it under Tatkal....Is it $150 (40+20+90 ) ? Also, is it all in the same cashier check? please clarify

got the second card production ordered email today. first one was on june 28th. hopefully this time, we'll get the approval notice sent email in the next couple of days...or latest in the next week or so.
Something funny seems to be going on with the TSC EAD processing dept. I got my second "Card Production Ordered" email today, saying new card has been ordered on July 29. This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?

1. You stopped worrying because you got your EAD at least.
2. USCIS is not asking to prove relationship with your great grandparents every time you go for H1B extension
3. You don’t need to worry about the VO at POE or consulate and not postponing your India trip for 3-4 years now.
4. Even though you are on project and pay roll is running, paying the tax...don’t lose your sleep over what memo comes next before the next H1B extension.
Our people are not worrying until it strikes them. Till then they will ask all sorts of questions and have attitude of why should I donate. You can see now and then a thread on IV - Help urgent, I-485 denied, H4- denied.
Why its urgent now for them...?
Totally agree with ya.
Unless crises strikes people and they are shatters they do not care.
Just see the old threads of EAD delays. All these people with EADs were sobbing on those threads pleading to IV to help them. Most did not have a donor status or had contributed a dime. They were on the verge of losing their jobs when IV helped them get their EADs on time. Now where are all those hundreds of people. Are they contributing a dime for the lobby day? I bet after 2 years, they will come again to IV and sob about EADs delays and ask IV to help them.

What nonsense is this.
Isn't this supposed to be a public forum that people can join and share updates. There is no disclaimer that one needs to donate to participate in discussions on this forum.
If donations are mandatory - this would have been a paid only website and access to all should have been restricted. I bet the participation and visibility of a useful site like this would be detrimental in this case.

Are we just a bunch of stingy people wanting everything for free!!????
Highskilled people for free stuff? The answer should be NO!
OUT OF THE 300,000 people stuck due to retrogression, only 8500 OR SO are IV members. Out of which not even a 1000 want to commit for minimum of $20/ month. Right now we only have some 120 people committed. That is really a shame!!. Then we find a few (5 or less people) asking what is IV doing with the funds?. What funds?

_____________________________
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
what the law is; is that greencard is for future position. who you are working with/where you live, what your status is; is totally irrelevant.
the company is probably advertising the position in california and that is where the job opportunity is. If it doesn't allow for travel then company is saying that is where you are going to permanently work.
Where you are currently doesn't matter within the law.
however, in the last few months; department of labor in audit requests has stated that job opportunity is at xx location but person address is at xxx and to explain the discrepancy. I haven't seen this type of query recently but your lawyer is probably thinking about getting this type of query.

Hi,
The online case status says: The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Me and my wife were called for interview at Newark, NJ office after we got the Notice for case transfer in Oct. 2009.
I think the notices we received at home did mention the Newark, NJ office, don't remember for sure.
I have an INFOPASS appointment this friday, 27th May to find out why is it taking time for my case to be approved.
Hopefully, there will be no problem with my case.
Thank you for your reply.
Filling out the info in your profile will help all of us on the forum. Good luck with your INFOPASS appointment.

yeah it seems that reporing of 485 approvals has slowed down a lot, i rem seeing 10 > a day a few weeks back. The sadest thing is that that one user who reported getting approved today has a PD of 07/15/2004.... i thought they were approving 05 cases.

Did anybody filing through FDBL? Any idea how long they are taking to file once they have all the documents and papers?
Thanks!

Everybody, please calm down. I don't know what the intention of this thread was, but if it is to increase the participation to achieve IV's goals, then I am sure you all realize it is having the exact opposite affect. The only thing happening on this thread is donors and non-donors going at each other in a way of unbecoming of us professionals.
I am sure we can agree to disagree with respect. Think about some of the messages written and you wonder would it be really said if they were facing the person.
I personally don't think bitzbyte is or was berating IV's efforts. All he/she needs is more convincing. And I don't think he/she is alone. If that was the case then we would be having 49000 members donating and the advocacy effort would be a grand success and we would be having millions for lobbying. The fact is that there are more like bitzbyte than the donors. I am not sure where the problem is but there sure is. Heck, I am donor and I don't find myself talking about IV or hearing about IV from colleagues or friends. Everybody has their priorities set and the daily grind to go through. Getting a GC may not be everyone's ultimate goal. There was a time I used to be so obsessed with GC that my whole life seemed to be revolving around bulletins and the disappointment of backlogs. One day I said enough is enough and stopped worrying about it.
But I realized that the question is not about whether and when I get GC, but is it fair, to you and your family, to go through years of this agony. It is not fair and we have to do something about it.
As much as everybody needs IV to address their needs, IV needs them to achieve our collective goals. Lets think about ways to increase participation rather than marginalizing those that don't yet believe.

Hello Guys,
For the next few months, we can either point finger at others (EB3 to EB2 and EB2 to EB1) or we can think through and come up with some solution for everyone. I don't know if pointing finger will help, but thinking and trying MIGHT. Do you guys think we should do that instead of looking at how guys are misusing EB1 ?
