Dear Bigheart Sanju
I would love to get a free lunch but facts are facts. I will not argue with you or about you but when and if you can refute ANY of the following statements, do write back and we can have a healthy discussion on this forum:
1. Why does Walmart/Gas station charge me money? I pay for a service or product I want which they give and have irrefutable proof that they gave. IV has no such proof of anything it has done for anybody individually or as a group on this forum.
2. You buy bandwidth and free lunch by donating?? NO. Do you see that big ad for a lawyer splashed on every page? That is what pays for the bandwidth. Many "non-donors" answering questions for each other in this forum or just by the act of engaging in fruitless discussions with you is what is paying for the bandwidth.
3. You seem to be under the impression that IV got the visa-bulletin reversed??? Moses, wake up and smell the roses. The massive class-action lawsuit being pursued by AILA, the Silicon Valley lobby pressuring Zoe Lofgren, almost all immigration lawyers asking people to join the class action .. what about all of that? Do think your 25 bucks on the flower campaign is what got the bulletin reversed?
SERIOUSLY??
And there were some comments about "if you dont want to contribute, get the heck out of here".... Can you explain to me how this is any different from "If you dont agree with me, dont talk to me?"
Why is dissent from the popular ideology of "IV is our saviour" treated with such disdain?
I just said that "IN MY OPINION (which is mine and only mine and I dont speak for anyone else) I dont think IV is doing anything". People who think IV is doing something are most welcome to put their money where their mouth is....But the problem arises when IV pretends to represent the "Immigrant Community" but then turns back and says Well, there are 2 kinds of immigrants, the kind that give money to us and the kind who dont....See where i am going with that? Do try to think about the possibility (and i am only saying possibility) that you might be wrong and the one with the different viewpoint might have some merit to the discussion?
that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.

Guys:
Money is not the issue here....if needed I could contribute too....
However, if we take all these letters to the press..and have them run the show for us....also by keeping the confidentiality of the individual....Guys one letter from the guy who was fired from Microsoft made news all across cnn, yahoo and everywhere.....Let the press of US do the job for us....they will make USCIS accountanble. I lilke the idea about taking to the President or Sec of State....actually, if we take to the local Senator...that will be good enough....all these guys are always looking for spice reports like this to make things happen...Hopefully this will bring more transparency from USCIS and they will be forced to report status to the Govt, by which we will also see what we need to see.....

There is no such thing in the Indian Constitution as the "national language." You can either read the document yourself or you can refer to the recent (late June 2010) judgment by the Gujarat High Court to this effect.
There should be respect for all Indian languages. The more Indian languages you know, the more familiar you will become with India and Indian culture. Those who do not know Hindi need not rule it out from the list of other Indian languages they could learn. And the same can be said for any of Assamese, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, etc.

As we have been learning, majority of the American public (including your neighbors) associate immigration reform with illegal immigration. Now if you ask them politely and ask whether they support immigration for highly skilled/highly educated individuals (already in the US working), you will hear no protests.
So basically, it boils down to awareness. When we have people affected by retrogression, unaware of the issues, how can we expect a lawmaker to know the inner details?
Just contact the lawmaker's office for creating awareness. Pro/anti-immigration is an after-thought.

Hope your ideas or similar ones work. But seriously�.. if someone isn�t contributing 50/100 bucks, will he/she be willing to get IV credit cards.
From my experience I would like to say contribution is simple. Hard part for me was to convince myself that this was right thing to do. I don�t think it will be about monitory constraints for most of us.
While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

I think that the best way to get media attention is to have own journalist.
It would be possible to have an Immigration Voice Daily (or Times). However I am to sure how difficult would be to have some one participating in presidential campaign debates and rallies as well press conferences and ask questions about legal immigration.
Are there any journalism graduates?

Great post. Couldn't agree with you more.
The more I read this form, the more I become disgruntled with this community! To say that someone from a lower class of visa and not from an "Oversubscribed country" (and I am assuming you mean India) is less skilled and less deserving than someone from a higher class and oversubscribed country is ludicrous to say the least. Each and everyone of us (and I mean "legal immigrants") have our own skill sets and contribute equally to the American society. As long as we are competent at what we do, then we are all SKILLED in our own way. The only real defining difference among the visa classes is the level of education not skill. To suggest one is better based on education alone is arrogance and nothing else!
The U.S. immigration system is not without its flaws and despite the delays and frustrations, it is FAIR! The per country limit is to ensure that citizens of ALL nations have an equal opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. and not just a select few. The only thing that I have found unfair as far as immigration in this country is concerned is the politicians focused efforts to do something for the "illegal" immigrants at the expense of the "legal" immigrants.
We are all in this together and the insults and innuendos that dominate this forum divide us so let's stop them and focus on the real issues!

Thank you all very much for answering my question , I feel much better now.
Just a quick follow up.
I am assuming she can continue to work on her OPT till we get our EAD cards or her H1?
Thanks for your response.
Yes, certainly your wife can apply for I-485, that has nothing to do with your whether your wife is on F-1 or H-1.
Her H,F etc. status continues independently of the Adjustement of Status petition. (Yes she can file even while in F-1 as she is not the primary beneficiary but your dependent for I-485)
Infact as soon as your wife get's her I-485 receipt, she is legally in status even if she loses her F, H etc. status.
Moreover I can say all this since I know someone who is an exact similar situation.

Consider my case:
Myself: MS In Electrical Engineering - Been on a H1-B sponsored job with Fortune 100 companies for the last 6 years.
Spouse: MD Medicine - Initially on H4 for 2 years, now on a H1-B sponsored residency with a prominent healthcare institution.
I fully agree, H4s should prove their worth, and that is why I never ever let the feeling settle in my spouse's mind, that, that GC was going to just drop from the sky one day for her...
In short, both of us have proved their worth and are on H1s.
Here's where the unfairness of the H4 system kicks in for us. The time spent on the H4 is counted towards the initial 6 year period. By the time she would be done with her residency, she would have exhausted most of that 6 year time. LC cannot be filed for resident doctors, while they are residents.
Result: When she becomes a doctor, her time has run out - technically she needs to be out of USA for 1 year, before considering a re-entry (unfair by all means).
Only solution to this problem:
1. Either the laws change to decouple H4 time with H1 (which I think, is the biggest unfairness of the H4 visa, especially due to the retrogression wait times)
2. I get to file I-485, which I currently cannot because of retrogression. I have an approved LC & I-140 with a PD of early 06. If retrogression gets worse, who knows, even EB2 could retorgress to more than 3 years...

I've been working with Christine Troy since 2003.
She helped me file H-1b extension twice, going for the 3rd time.
Filed RIR (approved), I-140 (pending) and I-485 just this week.
She does ALL the paperwork and doesn't have paralegals.
She keeps a modest office on Market St. at Powell, which is a convenient location. Doesn't charge much for consultations ($50-75).
And most of all she ALWAYS returns my e-mail within the same day or by next day. Better communication by e-mail than a phone call.
Very personable and great communication with my employer.
