Support Immigartionvoice Part 2

What Immigration Voice wants to do?

We are a group of volunteers trying to apprise the legislators about our issues and putting forth some recommendations, such as:
Filing I-485 even if priority date is not current. Doing so would entitle us for an EAD that would give us flexibility for job opportunities.
Increasing the annual Green Card quota.
Eliminating/Reducing retrogression by recapturing unused visas and removing dependents from numerical visa limits.
Urge the labor department to enhance the processing capabilities of the Backlog Center
 
Support Immigartionvoice Part 3

Why Contribute?
In first quarter of 2006 US Congress will consider comprehensive immigration reform bill. We want the following to be included in the bill to alleviate the long wait for the green card.
Filing I-485 even if priority date is not current. Doing so would entitle us for an EAD that would give us flexibility for job opportunities.
Increasing the annual Employment based Green Card quota.
Eliminating/Reducing retrogression by recapturing unused visas and removing dependents from numerical visa limits.
Labor department to enhance the processing capabilities of the Backlog Center
In the past we have seen that due to a lack of professional representation, employment based immigration issues have been ignored by the lawmakers. The latest example has been dropping of section 8001 & 8002 from the Budget Reconciliation Bill passed by the congress in December 2005.


These events have made us realize that we need to hire a professional strategist firm who can analyze the issue in various dimensions and accordingly advise and help us formulate our strategies towards achievement of our above mentioned goal. The hired strategy firm will also be responsible for providing us a structured platform were we can put forth our concerns to the lawmakers and convince them to include clauses addressing our issues favorably. The said strategy firm can qualify and help us align with pertinent Support groups and forums that would strengthen our voice and raise the cause to the lawmakers. We have very less time to collaborate our efforts in a structured format that can lead us to putting our voice up, as the Reform’s decision is due in February 2006 itself. We need funds to hire the professional strategist firm.


We also need your contribution in terms of your ideas and efforts by registering you as a Volunteer. Funds and their utilization would be transparent in this process althrough. All the volunteers will be provided a weekly update on the funds collected and their utilization.

Please every Guy here should send atleast$50.00 to Immigrationvoice immediately

What is at Stake

Even if they don't do anything and use the funds for seomthing, it does not hurt us. Think you have send $50.00 to ana attorny for checking your status of Fedex

It cost mone to keep a Website or get valubale information

Just for seomone to summarize all our agonies ( which they have done already ) is a Great Job and the amount they have collected so far is worth that

Hi Guys,

This morning I sent a request to Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center for my case status at H1B7YR@PHI.DLFC.US.

I got a response back by afternoon. Atleast I know my case is there as I am in the 6th year of H1B and will have to file 7th year extension by May 2006. My H1B 6th year expires in Nov 2006.

The information I got:

ETA Case Number: T-05154-xxxxx
Processing Type: RIR
Employer Name: XXX
Alien Name: XXX
PD: 02/04/2004
Processing Center: Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center

Empty Fields are:

Occupation Title:
Rate of Pay:
Nationality or Citizenship:
Case Recieved Date:
Case Source:
Business Activity:
Occupation Code:
Prevailing Wage:
Visa Type:

Now my case was filed in New Jersey. From earlier postings, I can assume that my case has not been opened yet and is still sitting there. It was entered on 154th day of 2005 (T-05154-xxxxx) and is in RIR queue.

How do I know if the 45 day letter has been issued or not?
My company's HR or Lawyer has not received it yet.

Can someone please provide an analysis on my case, lets say when can I expect to see some results?

Thanks
 
I have received my screen shot only in my company email.
Although I tried from my hotmail and gmail account.

I think this is a great initiative. I read some articles on this website including the resume of Rick Swartz and I think the lobbying effort being proposed is the right, efficient and legal way to get our voice heard across to right people. As far as they are also focussing on the PBEC issue(which I saw on their agenda), I am ready to contribute. Request others too to checkout this website and then decide accordingly.

I wouldn't mind spending few hundred bucks for getting us out of this mess. We have tried so many other avenues and have seen how each one last year became futile. Not sure if this would actually help, but for few $$, I would rather take a chance with people who are focussed and following the way things work -Lobbying effort!

Thanks!

It worked from Gmail and SBCGLOBAL.NET accounts...but it seems that once you've done it once with a specific email address, it doesn't work anymore.

Can someboy answers the question below???

MDLaborWatch said:
Guys,
I have my labor 05/2002 pending with my current employer and could be approved any time. at the same time, I am in a position to change employer and the new employer is having pre approved labor for sep 2004 and is ready to file I 140 if I am ready to join with him.
If I decide to chnage the employer and use pre approved labor and in the mean time within a month or so, if my current labor is approved and I can still persuade my current employer to file for I-140.
In that case, I will have two i-140 application from two different employers??
Is it possible to have two I-140s at the same time?? Or will it have any consequences later??
Even though I am in bad shape to continue with my current employer after may 06, I am very unreluctant to leave that labor 05/2002 PD after all I waited for almost 4 years..


And also, does any body know how much currently it takes for I-140 to be approved from vermont??

Also does one need to be working for the employer during i-140 is applied??

Thanks and appreciated

Saknia, thank you for being so pro-active.
 

Vermont is stuck for 140 at May05...
In the 140 form, there is question if there are any more 140's pending ...if YES attach some sheet etc...

I think some attnys can answer this question...? if someone knows answer please post..
I think may people will be in this situation...
 
when will EB3 become current..??

Saknia :

Any idea when EB3 will get close to current..??

I read from oh-law that the April2001 i245 cases will be in EB3 category...
In that case EB3 will come to a halt at Aprl 2001..

My case is I got a 45 day letter PD Dec 05 2002/EB3..that junky paralegal put us in EB3 when I was eligible for EB2..I had least knowledge about EB2/3 then...
Anyway, that company is taken over by another new company. Now that guy wants me to join him, just recently a month ago changed to a new employer with 4k to change extend H1 stuff...

I almost gaveup hope on this PD, cos the new owners r Americans and they dont know about the ordeal with GC..and they need to give tax retruns etc while 140 stage..if they have to file for my GC when I am not employed with them..which is very doubtful case...

What do I do now..? when wud this PD become current...any ideas..u think 2 yrs..? any guesses...

I think many people with PDs 2001 and 2002 and EB3 r stuck..so the wait will be long I presume... I was planning to file thru PERM thru this new company, of course with PD 2006, the tragic part..


Anyone who understands my story....please suggest...
 
I am not very hopeful about this immigrationvoice.com effort.
I don't think PBEC care about anything. No voice can make them faster.

Maybe you are right, maybe immigrationvoice.org is not doing enough, may PBEC would not listen to anybody's voice. But at the end of the day you have to reply to you own voice...what did you do about it? At that time atleast you can say I tried to do whatever I can to make this thing work. I tried to send so many letters and faxes, I tried to support yahoo groups on retrogession and now I am supporting immigrationvoice.org. There are very good chances that none of this would work but atleast you will feel good about yourself.
You cannot change and control what is going to happen next, whatever is going to happen with happen eventually. But atleast you can try to make a difference by supporting few people who are putting so much effort for us.

Well said...We shud remember that 1 day after this Labor shit is cleared off our head, we will fall into the retrogression pit...Sooner or later we will come out of this PBEC.. I know we are frustrated with the process, but when each state cud not handle their own cases, its not possible to clear in a jiffy all states under 1 roof...I am sure it must be warehouse with those files...
Its all our bad luck we have fallen into this pit...which we will comeout eventually...

Bottomline we need to support iv.org, similar efforts were done before for extn of H1 after 6yrs by the same person.....our next connecting flight is 140..then 485..they r trying to do something for themselves which will be useful to us....

Pleae come out of the thinking why to worry about dinner when lunch is not ready...? just support them and boost their confidence and lets not try to pull them down...

This concerns me as well. I was under the impression that most 245i's were "Other Workers" category but that category this month has moved to Oct 2001 which means that assumption was wrong. Any idea how many indians would be in 245i as China and mexico are already at Apr 22 2001.
This has a potential for becoming an infinitely long black hole.
