GCStatus,
We would like to pass the baton to you. Its not "my" website. You are free to take it. Kindly let us your a number to reach you and we will start the transition process.
Thanks,
BTW, no one is telling you the credentials, just letting you know that your rude posting about Admins hiding in a secret place is not appreciated. You cut-past one post, what about your other posts. Do you want me to post them here? Now lets get back to "ownership" and "rudeness" debate because it always turns out that way. You can say anything and if Admin responds, all of a sudden Admin is showing attitude, Admin is rude, freedom of speech, Ist amendment, Admins is dictators, Admins are like Hitler etc etc . Nothing new, we have seen this story repeat countless times.
And one more thing, you are busy and others have all the free time in the world. Is that right?

Thats wrong. This is not being posted by private people. It is being delivered and packaged by FTD/1800 flowers and such known company.
What u are saying would be true if people are sending envelopes with a 33cent stamp on it
All of this will be delivered to the building for sure
I'm just saying make sure they are accepting them - can't you call FTD/1800 flowers and check if your flowers were delivered? It's a government building and they get really strict at times - I know because I work at one.

Most letters should reach in time, make sure you ask for return reciept / signature for receipt - or something similar while mailing the letters at the USPS.
Also, letters to the white house take way longer because of security process - so Bush may read the letter the last, just 2 cents!
Where possible, we should send emails and faxes .. since owing to "security concerns" there WILL be delays with snail mail, running into weeks.

On March 12, 2002, the House passed such an extension. Section
245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act was first enacted as a temporary
provision in 1994 and has been extended several times since then. It enables
unauthorized aliens in the United States who are eligible for immigrant visas based on
family relationships or job skills to become legal permanent residents (LPRs) without
leaving the country, provided they pay an additional fee. Before an alien can apply
to adjust to LPR status, the alien must have an approved immigrant visa petition and
must have a visa number immediately available to him or her. Currently, to be eligible
to adjust status under �245(i), an unauthorized alien must be the beneficiary of an
immigrant petition or labor certification application filed by April 30, 2001. An
unauthorized alien whose petition or application was not filed by April 30, 2001 must
go overseas to obtain a visa.

"Immigration Voice To Organize A Peaceful Rally Of Legal, Skilled Foreign Professionals In Washington D.C. Immigration Voice (http://www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org/)), a grass-roots advocacy group of highly skilled legal immigrants is organizing a rally of skilled workers in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 to draw the attention of US lawmakers and the American public toward the excessive delays and backlogs in the Employment Based Immigration system. Thousands of skilled, legal professionals, such as Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, MBAs and other professionals from all over the country are expected to participate in this unprecedented rally in the nation's capital. With this rally, they hope to impress upon the Congress the urgency and the necessity for reform in the Employment Based Immigration System."

It is good to analyze. But pls let us be together.
There are several who's category was determined by the employer and their lawyer and an equal number, who have no clue as to what is actually the content of their labor. Myself for example, was never allowed a glimpse of the labor application, only know that it was approved. i also do not have a hard copy of my I140.
The positive point is this year, major channels are talking about Legal immigration much more than i have heard before.
let us work together to highlight the broken system, the only way it can eventually get fixed by our direct efforts.

USCIS do have some checks and balances for the subst labor cases, so its not a staright approvals for the lab subst cases. their might be a possibility few lucky ones get off the hook, but overall USCIS can weed out the dubious/fraudulent employer petitions.
Sub labor is not the only reason guys, its just the country cap which is limiting india EB-3 and EB-2. Most of the H1Bs like us coming to us ends up applying for GC, now look at the number of H1Bs coming each year from india and the total number of GCs available for india. Their is a huge gap in these numbers, so unless they remove the country cap or recaptured unused VISA numbers from the past years, we dont see any relief.
Please donate to IV and help lobbying for the admin fixes or the laws which going to help us in the long run.

This is a guess and I have not studied the law book or statutes on immigration law. Per country limit could be an administrative procedure and not as such a mandate by congress. The intent, nuance or spirit of the congress may not match this per country logic being implemented currently. There is just so much mismatch between equality, justness, fairness and nondiscrimination versus imposing per country quota and retrogression. It never made any sense to me. However, every quarter unused visa gets distributed irrespective of country limit. This nullifies the negative effect of per country limit considerably.
Everybody (that includes H1bs) in this country (according to Murthyji and other experts) is entitled to peaceful assembly, seeking justice and participating in improving current system!!
It is the beauty of the system here that sooner or later, people appreciate others point of view and there are enough checks and balances. Judiciary is one such important institution.

Well said ! $20 is not a lot but if you are first time contributor, the mind set just changes after you contribute and you become part of this organisation. And that is what we want - active participation !
We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.

Can we propose a bill which would give us - the honest, sincere, law abiding aliens - a time bound path to Green Card and Citizenship?
Political parties only talk and seem to be interested in giving illegals a time bound path to citizenship? They even introduced a "Dream Act" in favour their children. Why should we / our children be sidelined?
Can we request for a bill which would:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
2. Provide Citizeship to all EB primary applicants who have completed 12 years of continuous stay without any criminal record
Note:
When the primary applicant is issued a GC / Citizenship, the dependents (spouse and kids) should get the same benefit.
The current system is designed to favour ONLY the employers and the law firms, not the humble, hard working EB class slave who toils.
==========
I never expected that you will be kind enough to reproduce my text verbatim from my posting in the "Predictions Part II" thread"
Here is what I want to add:
1. Time bound path simplifies several redundant and "non-value add' activities
2. The alien immigrant starts investing within the USA, plans to buy a home etc as he is sure that he will become a respectable citizen in 12 years
3. This system is followed in several EU countries and UK and even Australia and Singapore. This is not ssomething new. It is a time tested program
4. It also helps the immigrant to decide his plan of action. For example, if he feels he cannot wait for 8 years, he has the option to plan his exit out of the USA (and go to his home country or whatever)
5. The employers / lawyers cannot perpetually arm twist, harass and exploit the immigrant by blackmailing him with the threat of withdrawing the I 140, for example
6. This guarantees individual liberty which is supposed to be "pillar stone" of the US Constitution
From our side -
1. It will forge unity (no more EB2 / EB3 fights)
2. Encourage active participation by all EB friends
So far -
1. In terms of policy / rule the only fix that has happened in all these years seems to be AC21 (However, even with EAD it appears that shifting jobs is not easy! This has been discussed at length in the AC 21 thread)
2. We have otherwise been able to achieve very minor admin fixes after years of toil
3. Under the existing framework we will continue to be grouped with the illegals who will never allow us to come of this mess. They may be illegal, but have the lobby power, money powe, muscle power and vote power.
4. CIR will never see the light of the day, because of political compulsions.
5. Day in and day out we are trying for Visa recapture, but we have not succeeded because of the unfortunate inherent EB2 / EB3 split within our ranks (and others enjoy the fun and benefit from it)
I feel that this approach will filter the legals from the illegals and a I hope that several right thinking law makers would support us.
Worth the try, friends!
Thanks everyone!!!

This is an very very good forum that has helped to answer many of my questions, or clear myths if I might say so... Thanks to everyone who have been posting.
I had one question which I hope someone could help me with. I have a full-time job offer in a very reputed company and am in the same boat as many before me with graduation towards May end (cannot get a degree completion letter before that) and no hopes of the quota for 2009 (Master's) lasting till then. My employer can also apply for the H1 based on my undergrad because my job profile is such. I wanted to know what are the pros and cons (specifically cons) of doing so for the future legal paper-work. I know for one that I might get into the lottery scenario if the similar situation like last year happens. However, I cannot avoid that. I specifically wanted to know what could happen if I do have to change jobs in the next 3 years (and the new employer has specifically hired me based on my Master's degree). In addition, if I have the company start my GC paperwork after 1 year and I need to renew my H1 after 3 years based on my Master's degree, would I need to restart the GC process?
Any other disadvantages of applying for the undergrad quota (for a Master's student) would be welcome.
Thanks.

GCStatus and MadhuVJ:
Looks like you guys have decided to fight with Admin2.
To some extent, Admin2 deserves this punishment. He spent just little 60,000 US dollars to fight for all of us. Yes, it is Sixty Thousand dollars. Whenever he goes to DC to meet lawmakers and/or Lobbyists, he spends money from his own pocket for stay and car rental. He desrevs so much beating from us for spending so much time, money and enegry for the community.
Even Pappu should be punished for spending too much time on this site wihtout concentrating on his day job.
If you both are logging from SAME company, though you are using different laptop/desktop, the IP address polled will be same for external though you have different IP internally.
If you guys have worked on DC rally, you would have come to know the great spirits of Admin2. One day he called me at 10.30 PM when I was almost sleeping to request me if I can attend an immigration meeting in Princeton University, NJ. I was sleeping and he was making calls. Who would have been benefitted? YOU and ME and NOT Admin2.
There are already several threads with EB3/EB2. All of us have our own day time jobs. Let us knot focus on fighting among ourselves. Let us not even fight with USCIS. What we want is that lawmakers and USCIS should understand our problems and make them realize that US will benefit by giving us GC's and not vice versa.
In the past 2 years, I have just 50 postings. All of them are either confirming calls to law makers or contributions. This I am writing to plead you stop these fightings. We have had enough in the past 2 years.
Thanks for understanding.
Please try to understand. We are not fighting. He just thinks we are same when we arent. We are here for the same cause. We want to be united. I dont know what these red and green dots mean but all i know is from 4 green it has turned into 4 reds. Its unfortunte.
