I was thinking as to why is there such lack of participation in IV campaigns.
One reason could be that majority of people need to be motivated individually to participate.
Can state chapters individually work on members in their groups? Chapters leaders can call for some volunteers within their state who are willing to contact other members personally to encourage them to participate.
I have recently moved to detroit area from Illinois and will be joining Michigan chapter.

I talked to my attorney this morning and we are going to file a separate case in EB-2. I have seen many people cutting lines labor substitution, illegals getting married/cutting a deal to US citizen just to get green cards and after 8 years, I think I can not just wait and think that someday something good would happen. It will cost me 5000-7000 USD to re-file my entire green card process but I thik it is more painful to just watch this non sense happening around me and not do anything about it.
Personal details -
Come to USA on H1- 2001
Filed for GC - 2002 (RIR, took for ever)
Job loss in 2004
New job and re-filed under PERM (EB3...thanks to lawyer, B.Tech from IIT + 5 years of exp)
waiting..............................>>>>>>>>>>>>
I understand. I'm also in similar situation. Filing another case in EB2 is no doubt best thing to do. Money is not the main factor. But I'm afraid new labor approval (considering PERM delay), I-140 approval and refile (with older PD) may take close to two years (considering current processing time). Also if many of us are doing this then another new rule may be introduced to "block" these cases as they will notice sudden increase of EB2!! Another thing is we're already in AOS pending state. I'm not sure what will be the impact of doing this now. I hope you've discussed all these with your lawyer. I told my lawyer about it and he came up with all negative sides of EB3 to EB2 PD transfer. But I'm still thinking to go for it.

and seriously I never spend so much words and so much time in replying to someone and that person not getting the point.
First, I never said I hate the labor in India. I do hate the lack of dignity of labor there.
You are forcing us to believe that you do not understand dignity of labor.
And definitely do not want to google PPP.
Yes, you should complain to the States Child and Family care services.
Also check for your City's Child care/nanny association, most providers/nannies are registered with them. And most people check with them to check any -ve entries.
A Fingerprint based Criminal background check costs 20 to 30 bucks in most states and people are okay with it, bcos most schools/day cares have that procedure mandatory before they hire anyone.
You should also call the references they provide. All states have a 'Offenders in your area' website, where you can check for that person.
I can say all this cos I can say we are 'have seen it, been there' kinds.
your underpay explanation is at a tangent, with the only part touching the topic is 'underpay'.
Believe me, you cannot bring a person from India on one of those visas and get away by only paying her $12K a year for a full time employment, legally speaking.
Well, maybe if you are a meatpacking plant with legally having lobbyists working for you with the State senate and the Federal Senate, you might import the maid for the plant and make her do the dishes for you. Still a maybe. Still illegal.
You are overlooking the underlying problems in India, ie. poverty and overpopulation and trying to resolve it by exploiting it.
an engineer with a family of 4 in India makes Rs 15000 per month. If I offer him 4 times that salary for a 8 hour full time job, here in the states, does that make me a mahatma?
Reddog ,
I strongly believe you are the one who is not getting the point , repeatedly made by the frustrated /concerned mother and you are trying all sort of theoretical argument by that you may prove your knowledge of hedging / foreign currency pricing or in next post even how to come up with LIBOR .
Here you need HEART ( specially of Mother) to understand the issue not the book knowledge you gained thru Google or any other means. I had tried to point out in my earlier post also but in vain, as you are so obsessed to teach every one about PPP and Labor dignity.
Please please please If you have any suggestion to help/solve the situation post here otherwise (one more time please ) ignore the post.

I see a Fundamental Flaw in this. Here is the roughcut of my thoughts...
How can you say that company having more than 50% H1Bs is doing fraud. How about companies having 45%.
What if company has $9/hour or any minimum wage employee 50% and cut the pay for the rest of 50% H1B's.
By restricting the companies to do H1Bs you are taking away the freedom from H1B candidates to change jobs. This in turn will make the candidate bound to the company which gives good scope for armtwisting directly impacting the salaries and taxes. By keeping the fee low you give freedom to H1B's let them compete in the open market. Let the companies pay competitive salaries to the candidates. This will help the citizens because they are all on the same salary levels and will avoid unfair competition.
By taking away the freedom of legal immigrants and companies which hire them you are scaring them and making them spend less. This will have direct impact on consumer spending and thus the economy.
Please be reminded job creation is not static is is elastic. The more you encourage companies to hire, the more they pay, more taxes can be collected and more spending will happen.
Splendid! This is one of the messages we must push, IMO

According to the Knowledge gained by me in this regard, I can say that you should not have any problem with expired I-94, you are considered Legal as long as your I-485 application is pending with USCIS. After the decision is made, hopefully you will get your green card (all the other options are outside the scope of the information you are looking for). You do not need AP to maintain your status while your I-485 is pending, AP is required to travel outside of US while your 485 application is pending.
Anyway please consult your lawyer on such issues.
Good Luck..
Thanks Kiran. The reason for my confusion is the below message from immigration-law.com. Please read the LAST LINE.
07/09/2009: "Unlawful Status" for I-485 Applicant Failing to Maintain Nonimmigrant Status in the USCIS Consolidated Memorandum on "Unlawful Presence" Pushes Immigrants to Confusion and Edge
* Some employment-based immigrants have read "out of the context" the part of the USCIS recently released consolidated memorandum on unlawful presence that defines I-485 waiters not maintaining a nonimmigrant status as "unlawful status" and who are subject to removal proceeding, pushing themselves into confusion and fears. In fact, this part of the consolidated memorandum is nothing new in that all along it has been the law that the I-485 applicants who fail to maintain a nonimmigrant status and stay and work on EAD are not nonimmigrants and "not in status." Since an alien in "not in status" (unlawful status) can be subject to removal proceedings, there is nothing wrong with that part of the consolidated memorandum. However, these readers missed another part of the consolidated memorandum that states that because of prosecutorial discretion and related rules, such I-485 applicants are considered "in authorized to stay" (lawful stay). The language "in authorized to stay" not only means that the unlawful presence that triggers bar to admission is "tolled" but also means that such aliens will not be prosecuted for the unlawful status inasmuch as they are in a valid I-485 proceeding. Flip side of the coin of this law is that since such alien is not "in status," once I-485 application is denied, they lose the basis of the "in authorized to stay," and the government can initiate the removal proceedings unless the aliens depart from the country voluntarily. For the reasons, some I-485 applicants have strived to maintain a H or L visa status adamantly against the potential denial of I-485 applications, but it is completely different issue from current misunderstanding within the employment-based immigrant community that the government can start removal proceedings simply because their status is unlawful and they can be subjected to a forced removal from the country simply because they decided not to extend their nonimmigrant status pending I-485 applications. People should stop panicking on this issue. Those I-485 waiters who stay and work on EAD rather than H-1B or L-1 visa status should make it sure that they religiously extend their EAD and Advance Parole not to violate the conditions and eligibility for I-485 applications!
Thanks

Heard about H1 denials from a few people I know. All these guys have been in US for atleast 8 years (came here on F1). I was very shocked with disbelief about this and thought it was a few isolated cases. Apparently, it's more widespread than I initially imagined.
Looks like the authorities are resorting to intimidation tactics.

Hey relax all legal immigrants, this was brought up simply to STOP illegal immigrants being issued a DL. What they say is any one who is not a resident of Michigan will not be issued a DL, and illegal immigrants would NOT be considered residents of Michigan, thats all what it is about. How on earth can they say no one having a work visa and legally in the US would not be allowed to drive?
just chill, they are still working on this.
the opinion from the secy of state interpreting the AG's original opinion.
it says in crystal clear words that temporary legal workers cannot be issued DL's. she is suggesting a new law to redress this- but absent that, anyone without a GC is out of the driver's seat....

According to law EB2 has advanced degree, so preference is given to them than EB3. So whatever we try to do for EB3 the VISA numbers will flow from EB1 to EB2 and to EB3.
There is no point in arguing about EB2 or EB3. Just work together to get the situation resolved.

I made my first call and it happened to be Steve King. The person on phone answered politely and told me that he would convey my support. I will call all Republicans and then start with Dems.
I finished calling all republicans about 15 minutes ago. Would try to call Dems. Difficult to get break from office, but would still try.

Obama takes immigration reform off agenda....Bummer :o
Obama takes immigration reform off agenda - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100429/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_immigration_politics_3)
Immigration reform has become the first of President Barack Obama's major priorities dropped from the agenda of an election-year Congress facing voter disillusionment. Sounding the death knell was Obama himself.
The president noted that lawmakers may lack the "appetite" to take on immigration while many of them are up for re-election and while another big legislative issue � climate change � is already on their plate.
"I don't want us to do something just for the sake of politics that doesn't solve the problem," Obama told reporters Wednesday night aboard Air Force One.
Immigration reform was an issue Obama promised Latino groups that he would take up in his first year in office. But several hard realities � a tanked economy, a crowded agenda, election-year politics and lack of political will � led to so much foot-dragging in Congress that, ultimately, Obama decided to set the issue aside.
With that move, the president calculated that an immigration bill would not prove as costly to his party two years from now, when he seeks re-election, than it would today, even though some immigration reformers warned that a delay could so discourage Democratic-leaning Latino voters that they would stay home from the polls in November.
Some Democrats thought pushing a bill through now might help their party. If it failed, they could blame Republican resistance, though in reality many Democrats didn't want to deal with an immigration bill this year either.
Perhaps seeing the handwriting on the wall, top Senate Democrats released a legislative framework for immigration reforms anyway. The draft proposal, obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, called for, among other things, meeting border security benchmarks before anyone in the country illegally can become a legal permanent U.S. resident.
By Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered little hope that the issue was still alive on Capitol Hill.
"If there is going to be any movement in this regard, it will require presidential leadership, as well as an appetite, is that the word? ... as well as a willingness to move forward in the Congress," she said.
House Republican leader John Boehner was more blunt. "There is not a chance that immigration is going to move through the Congress," he said Tuesday.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, the Democrats' leading advocate for immigration reform, has said he voted for health care reform on the understanding that Obama and congressional Democrats would move a major immigration bill.
Even though he would like to see Latinos turn out to vote for Democrats in 2010, Gutierrez said "many will probably decide to stay home." However, he added, a strict, new immigration law in Arizona may change that dynamic. The law requires law enforcement officers to question anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.
"On one hand you are not going to vote because you don't believe people you voted for are doing a good enough job," Gutierrez said. "Then you say, 'I got to vote, because the enemy is so mean and vindictive, I got to get out there.'"
I just read this too..I am not able to digest this.
