Section 205. Retaining Workers Subject to Green Card Backlog.
Allows foreign workers who have started the green card process, but who are subject to green card backlogs, to pay a $500.00 supplemental fee to file an application to adjust status. This change would enable foreign workers to remain in the U.S. until the green card becomes available.

Just to add, Not sure if this is true but there is news that Sarah Palin cheated on her husband, and had a relationship with the business partner of her husband. If this is true, then it would imply that she is not a good mother, she not a good wife and she is cunning & opportunist politician, with very little experience and a heartbeat away from her finger on the nuclear button when she is ready to go to war with Russia. Watch some 'Sarah Palin' youtube videos and see for yourself.
Now please don't call this "deep sexism", did anyone see Dick Morris around?
There is something about politicians who cannot pronounce the word "nuclear" properly. They all seem to somehow become Presidents. Maybe we should start pronouncing the word "nuclear" differently, it may help us to us to become president. :D

:) i understand your point and agree a bit, but gandhi wasnt into programming, he would have been sucessful no matter where he went. He had a unique vision, personality etc. we are average people with school going kids (try asking a 10 year old to learn 2 new languages all of a sudden and pass that subject in class) trying to establish ourselves somewhere. i mean if we have to go back we will and we will adjust and succeed.
the only thing that holds us back is...do we want to give up after waiting so long (8yrs in my case) and once we leave, we have effectively lost our position in the GC line...sort of no turning back.
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

Well this is an unfortunate development nevertheless it brings closure to months and months of speculations and hope for us. For past one year IV has provided as with a forum to fight for a our just cause and brought together all of us like minded individuals. I sincerely thank IV for that and doing countless things beyond what they have signed for. This has been a hard fight full of down moments but all in all it was a worthy experience. I guess we are at a juncture where I get the feeling despite our hard efforts to distinguish ourselves based what we are and what we represent, there is a growing consensus to tie us with what we don't represent. To me giving us what we are asking for, ONLY when they will print 12 million+ Green Cards for people who have falsified identities, carried no driver's license and have fled to America to fight hunger and poverty is an insult to what we have fought hard to achieve in life (education, career etc) in past many years. I have seen numerous stories on IV forum about folks who struggled to renew driver's license at DMV's and that's just tip of the iceberg I can go on about the struggle each one of us has faced to keep legal status amidst recessions, job loss, insanity of DOL, USCIS and many other hurdles. I don't have much to say except that the next step to achieve our goals is a conflicting priority. At this point I feel that there is no need to educate people who choose to be ignorant. I will sign off now !!! I wish good luck to IV and Thank IV core for doing more than what they have signed for.

I am new to this and I sent email couple of times and called certain people in IV list.
Most of the responses from the senator/congress members or even conversation refers undocumented immigrants, safe/secure borders etc.
What is missing in representing the EB community different to illegal immigrants ?
Yes, you are absolutely right!
We do not get any attention, because we do not raise our issues and we are not vocal about the problems we face. Now granted, we are a small minority compared to the huge lobby and muscle power the undocumented have. But we need to educate the lawmakers about us. We face real issues and our lives have been held in limbo. We have done everything right, played by the rules, stood in the line, pay taxes, contribute to the society. To get this message across, we need to visit lawmakers offices,and educate them. That is exactly why we have the phone campaign, that is why we have this email campaign.
This advocacy and raising awareness is an ongoing effort, it cannot be a one day or one month thing. We will not get anywhere overnight, perceptions have to change, there is a whole lot of dynamics at play. The timing, legislative calender and politics in general. But we as a group need to stand up, talk about the issues we face and have our voices heard.
That is why - we have the DC Advocacy event - Where members will do presentations with legislative offices,educate them, then there is a media event also planned. This is all to raise awareness.

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!
I was thinking Silicon Valley because many of us live there and the folks there are very proactive! (Look at how well California did in DC!!) and the first San Jose rally went great even with the short planning time. I was thinking that with more planning time and with a lot of proactive people who already live there it would be easier to get much bigger crowds! We didn't have 1000s of people from California in DC only because they are the farthest away which makes it hard for many of them to attend.

It is amusing to see that there are quite a few people who want the very door closed that they used to enter. It is even more amusing to see that the fault is always someone elses. It is similar to all the people who are opposed to immigration because it is someone elses fault that they are losing their job. Down right funny :p.
We need to focus on solving our problems without blaming others for our problems. Because once we go down that lane, we are no better than anyone from NumbersUSA or any other organization/ people who are against immigration. It is OK if we do not support increasing H1B - but saying that the H1B program needs to shutdown is not correct. I am sure that one can reason in the same breath that the EB3 category needs to be eliminated so that retrogression can truely be eliminated :eek:
I am proposing that it is better to completely eleminate EB3 than
having some kind of false promise of GC.
I know lots of IT guys from India fall for the Green card promise form employers even now (they say I applied and I should get in 2 years or so..
what should I say to those people)
By the way I am not "really" asking for H1B to be shut down. I am saying H1B
in its current form should be shut down. Obviously when the time comes
to actually shut it down, Corp America will panic and fix the problems.
In US, if Corp America really wants they WILL get it done.
In a presidencial election, a canadiate needs close to 100 million.
A senator needs around 2 million for an election.
Congressmen need lesser money and thats why they are more listening to local population (and oppose any H1B /EB etc) and can afford to oppose Corp America.
End 2006 when GOP Congress was trying to pass a rule
making illegal a felony and also a fine 50000$ per illigeal worker employer
employed it was the american chamber of commerce that took out the
big guns and ofcourse their surrogates/supporters orgaised those
Marches in April 2006.
However if GOP were to truly pander to their base they would have passed
that ( anyway illegals dont vote much)

If you want some good reasons why H4's should have work permit read this
All these years the United States of America denied work-permits to
dependant visa holders with one simple explanation "You are in USA
because Your Spouse is allowed to work here". But numerous surveys by
different social organizations has thrown light on the darker sides of
the life of dependant visa holders.
The dependant visa holder has to forgo his/her career growth in-order
to stay with the spouse. This causes a big gap in the career and
finding a suitable job in the home country becomes difficult when the
pricipal visa holder has to leave USA and return to the home country.
If the dependant visa holder's field of study or work is, one in which
getting a sponsorship from an employer is difficult, getting a
work-visa is almost impossible. He/she even loses his/her hard earned
skills in the respective fields due to the large gap in career. Even
though volunteering is possible, most of the volunteer jobs might not
utilize the persons skills.
Studying in the USA is good option but, being a single income family,
it will affect the financial satatus of the family if other members of
the family (children) are studying.
90 percent of dependant visa holders are women. Women being, more
susceptible to domestic violence by the partner, becomes even more
prone to violence due to her complete dependance on the Spouse. They
become prisoners in USA due to the spousal abuse and immigration
policies that give their husbands complete control over their lives.
The immigrant Women get protection under VAWA but non-immigrants are
not covered. Even if a law to let the non-immigrant battered women to
obtain work permit is introduced, It might not protect women whose
cases dismissed as non-critical. The abuser can furthur exert his
control over the victim and convince her that he has changed so that
the victim might not press charges against him. Thus the abuser gets
encouraged to continue violence.
Divorce is not an option because most non-immigrants come from third
world countries where a divorced women has to bear the social stigma of
divorce and will not be protected in her own home country.
Because of the long queues for Labor certification applicationa and
retrogression of visa numbers, getting an EAD and Green Card takes
longer.
Most European countries issue work permits to the spouses. Also the
time taken for permanent residency is lesser. In USA L2 and E2 visa
holders can have work permit, but the other categories are ignored.
Fear of flooding the labor market is not a valid reason to deny the
dependant visa holders work permit. Allowing the L2 and E2 category to
work didn't create any marked increase in the unemployment rate among
US Citizens.
calling all the dependant visa holders to send in their comments.......

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.
