I have created several documents and am working on a similar one as outlined below. But we need 50 people working on such items instead of one.
We have lots of ideas pouring into threads here but most are soon forgotten and not followed up on.
gc_peshwa has created a googlegroup to deal with participating on USCIS calls etc. We can add this agenda to that group to prevent creation of too many googlegroups and spreading ourselves thin. Alternatively we have a "Media" googlegroup as well which is dormant. That group could be used for this purpose.
We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.

Reversal Frustrates
Green-Card Applicants
By MIRIAM JORDAN
July 5, 2007; Page A2
The government's surprise offer, then abrupt reversal, of an opportunity for thousands of skilled foreign workers to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. highlights the problems of the overtaxed immigration system and the frenzy that results from a chance to apply for a green card.
The scramble has put tens of thousands of workers and their families in limbo after many of them and their employers spent thousands of dollars in hopes of securing permanent residency. It may result in a class-action lawsuit against the government by frustrated applicants.
The problem began on June 12 when the government seemed to open the door for thousands of foreign workers and their families to end the long wait to apply for a green card. That is when the State Department published a Visa Bulletin, which is a monthly notice closely watched by immigration attorneys and their clients because it determines who is eligible to file a green-card application the next month. The June bulletin announced that practically all skilled foreign workers who had been previously deemed eligible for an employer-sponsored visa could now take the final step of applying for a green card.
By law, the U.S. can issue about 140,000 employment-based green cards each year. Last year, the government fell short by about 10,000, despite the long waiting list; leftover visas cannot be rolled over to the next year. The June announcement aimed to prevent the visa slot from going to waste, according to a State Department spokeswoman.
The announcement was greeted with a mix of jubilation and panic by thousands of engineers, lab scientists and other high-skilled foreigners who had waited years for their place in line. Working ahead of a July 2 date for filing the application, intending immigrants rushed to gather documents, complete paperwork and obtain medical exams. Many of their dependents boarded planes for the U.S. to meet a requirement that all family members be present at the time of filing.
"The bulletin created a land rush among legal immigrants desperate to finalize their green-card applications," said Steve Miller, a Seattle-based immigration attorney.
Then, on July 2, the State Department issued an "update" that reversed the previous bulletin. It stated, effective immediately, there would be no further authorizations for employment-based cases. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which processes the applications, said it would instead simply process existing applications to meet this year's quota. "We already had sufficient applications pending without new applicants...," a spokesman said.
Mike Aytes, head of domestic operations for the USCIS, said all 147,141 employment-based green cards have now been issued for the year.

I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
This is interesting, and if the DV system is taken out, it will help many in the eb category. This is good, hopefully it will come to a vote.

Since I am older and wiser now, I can easily take them.
Yes, I must correct myself. It is not 525 (even though that is what the ever hurrying radio talk show hosts said).
That's even better. Percentage wise it is now 300/435. How about that?
I was away this morning for a big community project that I am involved in. I wanted to round that off with a morning brunch with the Congressman I quoted, but couldn't pull it off. I had met Mr. Mark Udall a couple of times in Friendship and Business Chamber get together in Denver, CO. He is a fine gentleman.
I prey his words come true at the earliest. Got to go. Have to mow the lawn, as per home minister/ interior secretary.
Bye. Ciao.
I guess so .... but we should give learning01 the benefit of doubt given that learning01 is in a way the eyes and ears of IV.... keeping track of what's happening in the media.
That was a genuine slip (of no real consequence) and I definitely commend you on your efforts learning01!!

Singing a country's national anthem and pledging allegiance to it are two different things. Scroll up and read my prev response.
Pride yourself on being a citizen of the world as you do, in normal course you have to be a citizen of at least one country to be able to receive a passport and travel the same world.... :)
As someone else pointed out, this thread is to appreciate the passion with which Pankaj sang the anthem. End of Story.
jazz
I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary within the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to build either.
By the way, if the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?

Thanks for the reply but how did you conclude 'Future AC21 Changes' will be retroactive?
again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.

I said I will get stamping done before I return from India for the first time. That way the action of getting I-94 at POE upto Feb28,2007 by official does not arise.
I just want to tell the community that such issues due to "Last Action" can arise and we need to be aware of them. ;)

PWC says they followed the auditing standards and they have appropriate evidence.

Probably, Raju & Co planned this carefully to even fool the auditors.
Its hard to believe.... but if it is really true then PWC is equally culpirit.

You can do hero worship of your lawyer whoever it is. I will not.
Ask him/her if he will do advocacy effort for you or sue USCIS since all his clients are struggling in the long wait and spending a lot of money on immigration consultations, fees etc.
Ask him if he contribute to IV instead?
Ask him to give you priority instead of your employer who gives him business every year.
Ask him why AILA is not giving you regular updates through him. As clients of lawyers we should get regular updates and prompt responses. What are they doing about country caps removal, end of retrogression, recapture etc. I mean they are so powerful, so why can't they do it for us so that we no longer need lawyers and save a lot of money? Arn't we all spending thousands of $s on immigration attorneys ? and only few of us pay only $25 and many are free members and get such a good service from IV website. We all hate to pay a single dollar to IV and accuse IV core of asking contributions every time there is a drive but IV still helps us. They need to learn from us.
Why none of us has the courage to do it, but we have the courage to trash talk IV and blame its core for not working hard enough for our $25.
Whats your skillset, I can try to get you a project. No offense, but you do seem to have too much time to loose-comment on others and contribute nothing.

Citizenship comes 5 years later, if one's interested (and may not be everyone's goal).
Singing a country's national anthem is also different than taking the pledge of allegiance (the latter means you are pledging your loyalty to the United States):

Having said that, excellent job Pankaj!! You had the crowds mesmerized!

Everyone here aspires to be a future citizen of the United States of America. If GC process didn't have problems, we would already have been citizens. Those who haven't learn't to sing it, should do so soon. It can be asked in the naturalization quiz.

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) -
Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?

If this is a sad story wonder what you would call people who have to wait for months and years for H1 approvals and LCA approvals.
My wife's and my labor took four years to approve .. H1 usually took anytime from 60 -90 days everytime ..
You should count yourself one of the lucky ones !
