I just sent another email to friends, inviting them to Join IV. Please raise awareness amongst your friends.
Thank you, AmitJoey.
I am sure you will post as soon as they respond with a 'Yes'. :)

I saw that. Looks like you are trying to pimp for a lawyer. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet first.
All you have done is made a phone call to a lawmaker office. Before you start a poll go and meet your lawmaker and learn how to talk to lawmakers. That will be a good start.
What made you think that he was associated with a law office? What makes you an authority to ask people to stand on their feet?
Have you talked to your lawmaker(s)? If so enlighten us with the "learn how to talk to lawmakers" part of your crappy post.
I hope not all "senior" members share your optimistic attitude.

I paper filed EAD to AZ drop box on Mar 27th. I have not received receipt. Also check is not cashed.
I agree, it is taking too much time, compared to previous applications.
I am still waiting for check to be cashed or receipt.
I think, I made a mistake of paper filing. I should have done e-filing.

Various reasons...time...schedule...other obligations etc...lack of readily available information on IV as an organisation or state chapter....too many steps to do simple things like joining the state chapter :)
ya some of the reasons seem ridiculous...
like the example of the weekly attorney call
Many like me don't have the time to search through forums as to what the number is for the call or where is the link for the chat. If its displayed on the main page "Click here to join attorney call" that would be so much easier and encourage a lot more participation.
No member has to search for the lawyer conference call thread in the forums section at all. They just have to read the threads running on the home page!. Every week that we have the conference call, the thread runs with the red title "Free Conference Call on -date- -Lawyer name- frm -firm name", and it is mostly me who keeps the thread alive from Monday through Thursday! I have even started a thread on the Ask the lawyer section announcing this and I kept the thread on the home page until the third week of this month - when we had the last call for the month of March. I have not kept it up on the home page with all the advocacy activities we are involved in - but I would think that the members who benefited from the calls would want to help by keeping it up on the home page...........but that does not happen either (although wait_for_ever_gc and SGP tried for a few weeks).
This is exactly what I mean when I say "frustration" - The services are clear on the title and runs on the home page every week. Yet members say, I can't find it!
I have had people PM me and ask how do I post on IV - I point them to the thread that tells them to do it - we do have it as a sticky, for easy visibility if members take the time of doing a little search. I have had members call me and ask how do I post, I have explained it to them while on the call. There is only one ph# available to reach IV - and I have answered everyone of the calls for which members have needed help.
ok i managed to find it...but its not easy to find...the average person visiting this site will never know about it. This is a cool benefit...it should be advertised on the site more so people can take advantage. It will certainly generate more interest in IV
Right here, members should realize, IV is not here to market stuff or make money. IV is about services and working together to bring the relief needed for our immigrant community. Does IV need the money? Absolutely - for advocacy. Not just the 3 day advocacy event but the year round advocacy that needs to happen to get anything done.
IV has a donor forum, and it has made a policy that to be able to get access to it, members need to donate. It is not a mandatory service but an option of choice for each of the members. Without making any monetary payments mandatory, IV members (some) have issues with it. I cannot imagine the uproar and backlash that will come, if IV decides to impose even a $2 mandatory fees. People will find fault with that too......... And if there is one thing we have realized, we can't please everyone. IV leaves the option of donating as a choice to our members rather than a mandatory imposition of fees.
I will say this though, Aman is a good friend of mine, and he himself being in EB3, waited for many years to get his GC. Before he got his GC, he too was frustrated with the system and came up with this organization - over a conference call - to find solutions to make this GC process better. This was in end of 2005. He got his GC in the recent past in EB3, and yet here he is fighting for the cause of the people who are still stuck in the backlogs! He has a full time job, a family (who is sacrificing a lot because he is so involved in finishing what he started, a time that he could have spent at home), and he works harder than anyone I know for your Green Card relief. There are very few dedicated people behind IV, and Aman is the very back bone of this organization.
Members write about IV being for EB2? How? Members write about how IV does not understand the pain of an EB3.. Really? Aman and Pappu and other team members are all in EB3......some still without a GC......waiting just like you! This organization was built on EB3 pain and it continues to exist because of the dedication of few leaders to see this through. A lot of people got greened in 2010 - where are they? Some visit, some even donate regularly, some even participate/volunteer for the advocacy days in DC. But the large majority left. If Aman decided to leave after he got his GC, each of you would have found another online place to go to, but what you may not realize is, had he done that, there would be 1 less dedicated, passionate voice fighting for your speedy Green Card!
The other day, a member since 2007 - does not know what the goals of this organization is! Even my child knows - that to find out about any organization - just go to the "About Us" section. Four main menus to explore - "Home", "Forums", "Wiki", "Advocacy" - you will find everything you need to know about IV.
Members don't want to see what is in front of them (Free lawyer conference call on home page)
Members don't want to explore a little bit about this forums - (Take 10 minutes of your time when you visit IV to look up on Advocacy, on Wiki) - to get the info needed.
Members don't want to participate in anything - like I said - IV has this action item of meeting with lawmakers - and the response is "I can't, as I have a busy schedule, other commitments......" All I am asking for is an hour off from work to meet with lawmakers in a month. 1 hour in a month!
Members ask what has IV done for me? I won't even say 'Ask what have you done for IV" - instead I will say, "Ask what have you done about your own green card other than wait."
A member thought Pappu's post was "arrogance". But does this member know that Pappu is the one who handles these difficult issues - researching what the problem is and then suggesting the next steps or contacting the right officials to get the answers for these needy members. IV does not charge for this time and service. But he hopes that this member will donate. And he has rarely found these very members coming back to donate to IV. And that to me is "frustration".
You may want to believe what I am saying or not - the choice is yours. But I will ask this of each of you - if you have something negative to say about IV or don't know what IV is working on - just pick up the phone, call and ask. Before you criticize the hard work of people, take the time to get your facts right and then do what you feel is right.
BTW, all "you" mentioned here is every member and not directed to one person. And check out my signature - finding your state chapter and becoming a member is easy. I have had this for over a year now.

Guys:
I have heard lot of pros and cons about EB1. Let me also say that one of my best friends got his GC from Cognizant in EB1 category which was a fraud case for EB1. I am happy for him but not for myself. I agree it left me with jealousy.
Now what is our problem? Guys getting GCs under EB1C or we not getting GC in EB3 or EB2?
If we complaint against EB1C cases, are we going to get GC? Let me tell you, with the anti immigrant atmosphere prevailing in the country, they will even choke EB1C category and use it for propaganda. Do you want to get GC or are you saying, I dont have a GC, even my friend should not have it. This is a classic case of divide and conquer strategy.
By choking up EB1C, nobody, nobody will get GC. We should not fight amongst ourselves like Eb1, 2, 3 etc Or India , China etc.
This is a forum for everyone impacted by GC backlog. Everyone involved in the process deserves transparency. First of all we do not know where the numbers are going, whether they are being used judiciously or what are the bottlenecks. Just as we blame USCIS, we also blame Cognixant for our woes. I think first we need to get a clear picture of what is happening and we also need to work with DOS , USCIS to get a clear picture.
Just like financial companies file statements with SEC, we also deserve complete transparency in the process. This way it will be clear to US citizens who blame us for their woes and also for us who blame USCIS or fake EB1s for our woes.
We can work with USCIS and lobby them rather than pressure them through senators etc. who are are just using us as political pawns in their elections.
My final message is: DO NOT do something that will divide the community. Let us work towards a common cause.

Sorry to do this to you but, to be "politically correct", the Reps in the House are addressed as Congressmen/congresswomen. Only Robert Menendez in that list is addressed as a Senator since he serves in the Senate.
Minor technicality, but, the Reps would want to be addressed the correct way.
Now now..its was slip up dude, well being new to this county and their lingo!! I did write some of earlier posts addressing them as congressman/congresswomen. Now all I wanted was the poll to be opened..no news yet!!!

I tried to run twice last week but had to walk 2 out of the four miles because of the 100 degree temperatures in So.Cal. it is so much easier to stick to the classes I take in an air conditioned GYM but a new activity helps. I am proud to be part of Team IV and raising funds for the cause I believe in
As a start, I've decided to start walking in my office garage for half an hour before lunch.

Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.
If this were the case why so many "US educated desis" work for so called "body shoppers" and stay in "Guest houses" provided by these desi consulting companies.

Perhaps the membership, with its slow response, is sending a message that core group is wasting its time doing all this and we should shut down and go on with our lives. If that is the case, then that is fine too. All these efforts of maintaing the website, travelling to DC, maintaining the relationship with our lobbyist and a half a dozen allies....all this takes time and energy. If we dont have support then I guess the core group is the most idiot group of half a million highly skilled immigrants wasting its time.
Folks, an emotional outpour from our leader. It is very sad that it has come down to this.
I have been here as organizer of Indian Student Association (ISA). Based on the response, every day I wondered if I want to do it. To this day, I regret all the time I spent for ISA. IV core is spending much more time and energy.
Please don't post idiotic opinions/questions. We all know that we don't have a strong legistlative position and it is rough life for us. IV core should not be giving explanations at regular intervals. There is nothing to explain. All decisions are not for debate. Some of the opinions/questions are very depressing.
IV core is doing a very good job under the circumstances. IV members don't realize what they have.
All members who have paid less then $200 should pay a total of $200. It is not fair for some persons to be in the $400 range and other persons paying $20. I don't know how you can enforce it. I could not enforce it when I met all persons 10 times a day.
I just paid $200. $20/month is not the answer. Money will be needed in the next 2 months.
If you have paid less then $200, pay the f***ing money.
