Same with me!
My children have grown up and are on the verge of aging out, while I am still fighting to find avenues for a new green card application. Jobs are not permanent in the US. Layoffs are a common thing. The immigration processes take much longer than the life of a job. Many people like me end up with unfinished and abandoned immigration process. At the end of 6 years we are able to obtain H1-B visas one year at a time. Provided there is a pending I-140 process. What happens if a I-140 application is denied because of some faulty representation or your employer decides to lay you off?
My question to the senate is. Is this fair? Was it foolish off me to have maintained a legal status and spent so much money for nothing? Perhaps if people like me would have remained in the United States illegally without paying taxes, I might have saved a lot of money and would have been able to apply for a non-immigrant status for a very small fee.
My suggestion to the Senate is:
1. Pass a legislation that protects Legal immigrants who have lived in the United States beyond 6 years, but have been unable to obtain an immigrant status for one thing or the other. Or an H1-B non-immigrant who have come to the country before �9/11� and have stayed in the country through the recession; paid taxes; but because of constant layoffs and half finished immigration processes should be rewarded in this bill. Proofs that immigration processes had been initiated but abandoned because of job changes.
2. Children of Legal non-immigrants who have finished 6 years of stay in the US and are aging out, should be protected, because the state has spent tax money on their education and they have adjusted to a life style and system which will benefit the country. They should not be penalized for no fault of theirs.
3. Children and spouses of H1 Non-immigrants who are educated and can work should be given the opportunity to do so. This way many will legally work and pay taxes. It is a great burden on a single H1-B non-immigrant to be the sole earning member in a family. Currently a dependent of a H1-B is not permitted to work.
4. An I-485 process of immigration should not be cancelled if a pending I-140 is denied. This should be made available once again to the applicant and his or her family if a I-140 process is re-applied within 6 months. It is unfair to make the family file for a I-1485 process once again with additional fees, medical tests, finger printing, work authorization and so on. If a I-1485 has to be reapplied, it means the family has to wait for endless years ahead to wait for their immigration numbers for their country to be available once again.
5. H1-B non-immigrants are educated people who are already here because there is a shortage of manpower in that category. I personally do not see the need for a Labor certification once again to see if there is a shortage in that particular area. H1-B employees go through these process initially before their H1-B�s are approved. These people who have been here for more than 6 years already know the system and can contribute to the country. They do not take away jobs of local people.
6. A Non-immigrant who has purchased a house in the United States has already taken the first step of naturalization. They put their money here. They do not take money out of the country. I believe they should be rewarded with a non-immigrant quota/status. This will bring a phenomenal real estate boom in the country and a welcome change to the economy.

I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

message from IV
Despite the offensive posts and badmouthing on IV site and other sites we are keeping everyone in mind when working on our lobbying effort. We had posted messages in the past about this too. IV does not advice any flower campaign etc without consulting with us. Any wrong move can potentially hurt the interest of this community and the advocacy work we are doing. Please stop posting offensive messages and stop fighting with other members of the community.

We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.
For the future, we definately need more members. So the add a member campaign is very important.

Please call all of them. They asked me whether I was from district or particular organization, and I said I am not from the district but I am a member of Immigration Voice and they have taken down my message.
the person who took the phone asked where are you calling from? I think they care for calls only from the rep's distrcit? Also would verbal messages to any staff be sufficent? no fax?

everybody is assuming tha CIR will have a chance in 2011.........that is based off the assumption that Dems will still have the house and senate after 2010.....
If there is a hispanic baclkash against the DEMS in 2010.......then no CIR for the forseeable future......
Just my 2 cents........

I just contributed $200.00.
I am in new job and mid of negotiating with blood sucker desi employer not to revoke i140. I can not attend the advocacy days.
Anyway like Eb3retro I also lost my interest so changed job. Profile don't meet much with what written in i140, so who cares if GC rejected I will be heading to India.
Good Luck for all your efforts!

My wife and I will be travelling out of USA to our home country in the first week of August. My employer's attorney will be applying I-140 and I-485 for both of us before we leave the country. My attorney has said that we could travel out of country without jeopardizing the validity of I-485 application as long as it is recived by USCIS prior to leaving the country. Because of a large influx of I-485 applications, USCIS won't be able to issue the receipt notice immediately but will take weeks to issue the receipt nos. However, when they issue the recipt nos, they will use the application receipt date as the date when the application was physically received by them (the day when Fedex or UPS...courier service delivers the applications to them).
We will have to go to US consulate for H1B/H4 stamping and I am a little concerned if we would be able to get VISA stamping. I am in the 8th year of H1B extension? Both of us have I-797 approval notice for H1B/H4 valid until 2008. Has anyone travelled out of country and got the VISA stamps on the passport without any issues?
My attorney says there won't be any problems.
Looking forward to your inputs.

Hi
I have a full time offer from a well know company here in the bay area. I have an EAD.
The new company wants a copy of the following
1) Labor certification
2) I-140
The thing is I don't want the new employer to file AC-21 as it may back fire on my pending I-485 as we have seen in the cases in the past. with I-485 being denied etc.
Any one in same boat who was asked for labor as well as I-140 copy? How do I convince new employer that, AC-21 is not necessary to be filed?

I wasn't born in a Hospital so they won't have a record.
I just spoke to someone at http://www.yourmaninindia.com/ and they informed me that Delhi doesn't issue Non-availability of birth record certificate.
Any other options?
Please check with your lawyer, According to my lawyer, a new BC with 07/2007 registeration date, accompanied by 2 affidavits from your parents/Uncles/Aunts should suffice.
