To begin with, Congratulations to every deserving IV member who can now apply for a green card!
I'd like to thank each and every member of the IV Core Team. Your efforts have changed our lives. Because of you, people won't be scooting off to UK and Canada, some children won't age out, people wouldn't have to get more *ouch!* shots, et al! From skepticism to total admiration is how my perception of IV changed over the past two weeks. You have done justice to the name Immigration Voice. Enough said!
Like the Core Team repeatedly insists, this is just one of the first few important steps, and there is a lot more to be done. And for that to happen, IV needs contributions. I am not in a position to urge people to contribute. I am a junior member, 20 years old, on an H-4 with no means to work, and not a single bank account yet to my name. However, I wish to pledge the first 500 hundred dollars of savings from my first job after obtaining an EAD to Immigration Voice.
Go IV!:)

Pappu,
I think we should start a campaign where members will contribute $25 for every 2 months (recurring) untill another 6 months.
So, immigrationvoice would be adding funds to the tune of 175K every 2 months and also $25 every 2 months is not a big deal for most of us.
This way we are guranteed atleast some portions of our funds. Even if $25 is a lot of money, $10 can also be acceptible if they are paying a recurring payment. To sustain this campaign and maintain our presence in this space we need funds.
Let us know, who are ready to sign up for this campaign?
Campaign is $25 every 2 months (one payment of $25 for 2 months).
1) I am signing up for this campaign.
Best regards
sri
Thank you very much for starting this campaign. After this was started, the drought for the past few days has ended and 4 members have contributed today till now. Thank you very much for starting this. We will be able to use all our resources in the coming months to get something done if we have sufficient funds that meet our target of 60K by December end. If all members get active, there is no doubt that we will succeed very soon.

Change this title to december06 marathon.
We should have one marathon every month and there will be members willing to contribute $20 every month. By changing the title to december marathon, we would psychologically make people to get ready for every month. This way, we do not have to put effort every time to members think about contributing.
Contributing will become their routine part of thinking and also $20 is not a big deal for our cause.
I am ready for $20.00 every month from now on. THere will be lot of guys like me and the change in title will make it happen by creating this title every month and keeping it on home page/top.

Dude, Why dont you call me at 412 915 9526.
Just because of your false accusations, people have started thinking iam faking my identity. This should stop. Are you hearing me or not ? Why dont you go and check your website logs for activites in the last couple of days
and see from which IP Address, GC status is sending those messages. Find out the location from where he is sending messages. Dont spread false news.
I want you to make it clear in the forum that MadhuVj and GCStatus are different people.
Hope you first fix this issue, you created.

Yeah man. So much for joining this site. This is all we get. Unfortunately, lot of other people are thinking the same. Want you to clear our names asap.

Is IV only for those who have filed I485?
I gave my opinion and people gave me lot of reds. There is a majority here who already have EAD and have filed I485. You people do not care for those who are less fortunate and struggling in the early stages of the process. If July 07 had not happened, all of you would be asking for I485 filing option today.
By giving reds to people who disagree you will drive people away and make IV only for those who have filed I485 and not for the entire EB immigration people.
In protest, give red dot to all the posters on this thread except original poster. He deserves green. If it makes you happy, you can have all my green dots. I only care about green card. :-)
Chill brother.

I had the exact same question. If one responds to an RFE on his/her I-485 app, is there no place on the online status description where we can find the original receipt date?
Also, can one assume that his/her case has is pre-adjudicated, if there are no further requests from USCIS after an RFE reponse from the applicant?
Thank you, JSB, InTheMoment, FromNaija and all others who are providing valuable information (even though some of it is probably only good logical deductions) on this thread.
jsb
What exactly is meant by checking the receipt date online and it is 3 months after the date in the paper? All I see on my 485 is a statement that they have received my response to the RFE...I don't see any receipt date or notice dates on the case status online at USCIS.gov
Just wondering what you mean or am I missing something?

Your stories are pretty compelling. Could you please send me an email with your stories at shrey@immigrationvoice.org so that I can collate it together?
Others, please send us your stories by using the template in the first email. It would really help our cause.
Most of us are on this forum because of the injustice that the current immigration system perpetuates.
What is even more frustrating is that we are chasing this so called American Dream during the most potent years of our lives and literally wasting our lives away.
Employers indifference, incompetent lawyers and pathetic para legals all add up to make our best years the worst. I always used to wonder how come there is not one single place where all hi tech workers can discuss their issues and work together.
The illegal immigrants have orgs like La Raza to support them, pro bono lawyers working for them and senators and reps listening to them. We are just starting to realize that we also can work together and get ourselves heard. Being highly-skilled should NOT be a handicap for us!
I just hope IV is that elusive orgs for legal skilled immigrants...

BTW, our dear macacay.
I am surprised to see that you don't know what ROW is.....
P.S.
I apologize for this utterly useless posting, but I really wanted to use the word 'macacay', the sub-continentalized version of 'macaca'
Is there a USCIS URL/publication that explains the following? Thanks.
These should be USCIS rules like IRS rules. Everyone should be entitled to see them like IRS rules.

The bigger question here is .......Are there any IOs sitting at the fingerprinting place . If yes, are they authorized to give out such info or even entertain any such requests ??
That is incorrect for my local ASC. I know that for sure. When I went to ASC for FP I do not think they were capable of answering any case related questions. All they do there is take FP notice , stamp it and do FP. They ask you to goto local office for any questions related to your case.
Secondly how come the IO had the authority to show an internal memo to a customer. Does it make sense?

I have filed for H1B under the Masters quota but i will be graduating only in May and gave an official document from my University that i would be graduating. Somebody i know had also done a similar thing but he got a h1B rejection mail from USCIS yesterday. This has made me really upset. Is anyone there who has filed with a similar document and has received H1B? He had filed it witha consultant while mine is a highly reputed company. Will that make a difference?

Having diversity AND country quota for skilled employment is affirmative action gone waco. EB skilled immigration is to allow businesses to hire foreign labor for jobs they can't find American Citizens. Now to restrict businesses to discriminate based on the country of birth is just riduculous. Next do Universities apply affirmative action to their international student recruitement?
Indians and Chinese make up the largest group of international students in Engineering and Science. US citizens make up less than 50% of those graduating in Science and Engineering in Master's and PhD programs. Now businesses should not be penalized if they can't fill their highly skilled jobs with Iranians and Tongans and any other ROW countries.
We have a diversity lottery for nationals of those countries who would not make it out on merit and need a leg up. There may be a few Indian consulting companies who favor Indians, but they are the people who pay wages and know best. Similarly just because Americans prefer to buy Japanese cars we can't create an "affirmative action" and prevent americans from buying Japanese cars. We can't prevent walmart from stocking chinese products. So why force employers not to hire Indians and Chinese through creating quotas for highly skilled jobs?
No meaningful immigration reforms can be achieved as long as skilled immigration is based on country quotas. Next we know there will be quotas for marrying foreigners to add to diversity. If you marry a mexican there is retrogression but if you marry a citizen of Vanuatu then green card is processed in ROW:)
I was just making my point how ridiculous it is to have quotas for skilled immigration but not for others including asylum cases.
I'm not saying it is right. I think there should be no quotas; diversity or otherwise. It should follow normal business practices. Can't find american, we need you now you start working. This is how it works in everyday business.
However; we need to understand why doesn't immigration follow normal business practices. is it that we place more value on our contributions then what the country does. Is EB just another route to get people here like family, asylum, refugees, etc?
Although it may sound ridiculous but why is everyone want to put any limits to it. If proper controls can be put in place that there are genuine jobs and candidates are genuine then there shouldn't be any limits. How come no one wants to go for this solution. It actually makes more sense then just increasing the quota or not including dependents, etc.

We could have got 1000 from each of the IV member, if July Fiasco hadn't happened.
Most I spoke to are content with EAD/AP.
Even if 1000 of our ~41000 members contribute 100 dollars each, we can host two more events like this.
It makes sense to ask help from outside of the organization only when our internal resources are all exhausted. However, sadly, most of us do not want to even contribute for the good cause. :o
