Truth always hurts. It is not too much talking when I say that people can't afford to contribute 20 bucks to IV. Out of roughly 9000 members, only 200 contributed in the last contribution drive and now you should be able to do the math yourself. That is the fact and it's very troubling that 98% of the members chose to contribute nothing.
If you expect 200 people to find relief for 1 million so called high skilled immigrants present in United States, may be you need to wake up and do some reality check. Just checking IV 50 times a day for an update will not bring any relief, if that's what you are counting on. No wonder we are yet to see any relief whatsoever.
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

I think we need to clarify that Reid and Pelosi are independent and not related in terms of setting up a debate. Pelosi is in the Lower Chamber - House of Representatives, Reid is in the upper chamber - the Senate. They do not have influnce over each other in terms of scheduling and the rules, etc. Pelosi is the speaker of the House, Reid is the Majority leader in the Senate (there is no speaker in the Senate). In the Senate Reid is the one who calls the shots in terms of scheduling, but it has to be on a bill proposed in the Senate (not the one propsed in the house), although the texts could be identical it is still a separate bill with a separate number. Based on the rules such bill may have to go through a comitee first (Judiciary perhaps). As for the House I believe Pelosi has lot of say when it comes to the agenda. However if it has to be the majorty leader of the "House", than it would be Stonie Hoyer.

Call 304-625-5590, option 3 to get status of your fingerprints only. No namecheck status on this number.
Also you need to have your A#.
This way you will atleast know if FBI sent the results back to USCIS.
FYI, LUD changed twice, the day we gave fingerprint and the day after.

Thanks for the responses so far.
To the bro who suggested I rather stay here than go back..well I work as a consultant thro a vendor hence that is not an option (thanks to the new memo).
Given the market is so hot in India right now and here new policies are made to make our life tougher, only makes one's consideration to move back stronger.
I will call up SSN office today and check out how much more is remaining of the 40 Q for me...will try and do that.
On RONR, I will find out and post here when I have any confirmed updates - but one thing I know for sure is:
Tax year starts on april 1st in India. If one stays atleast six months starting that date, he is still considered NRI. Hence say if you deposit 40,000 USD in SBI on may 20th...and return after october 10th, you are okay. No tax in that year..but if you came back before the six month, then there is some tax that you have to pay.
NON - RESIDENT STATUS UNDER THE INCOME TAX / WEALTH TAX ACT:
Condition Status
1. He is not in India for 182 days or more during the relevant previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
(so check the next condition.)
2. He is not in India for 60 days or more during the previous year and he is not in India for 365 days or more during the 4 years prior to the previous year. >> If yes, then he is a non-resident.
RESIDENT BUT NOT ORDINARILY RESIDENT (RNOR)
Condition
Status
1.
He is not a resident, as per the above provisions, for at least 9 out of 10 previous years prior to the previous year under consideration.
>>
If yes, he is RNOR
2.
His stay in India during the 7 previous year prior to the previous year under consideration should not be 730 days or more
>>
If yes, he is RNOR

Glad to see there is some hope in future for EB3 I.
But we shouldn't rest on these hopes. If we can get at-least couple of items on IV agenda (recapture , STEM) passed we should all be greened for sure.
Heres hoping for the best.

Did you mean for EB3 ROW? One year? I am not so sure. Couple of months maybe... Oh i wasn't being specific if ROW or India or china... just threw a year in there, since 47K seems like a lot of approvals at one go.
Some one pointed out in another thread, that the USCIS FAQ mentioned that only a 'subset' of the potential 47k cases have namecheck pending for more than 180 days. So may be not all of the 47k cases (even those with current PDs) may be eligible to qualify under 180 day FBI namecheck auto approval rule. Thus not all 47k cases will be approved by the mid March deadline that USCIS mentioned.
yeah i read that aswell... as usual even that little light that sometimes seems to shine... all of a sudden seems quite dim.
FYI USCIS retracted the FAQ posted on the 19th, so we will have to wait and see if it's gonna be any good news on this subject.

whatz wrong with someone who gets GC in 6 months, is'nt it our sole goal to change system to have GC in few months,
c'mon guys are you jealous, what makes you think just because you did MS here that you are more qualified than a person who has done Bcom from india, he is manager atleast he knows how to grow in a orginzation and get a GC in 6 months, so learn from him,
get over it this is how the system works if you want to change atleast think positve and call your lawmakers
Thanks eb3India, You are very right.

Someone referred this creditunion in this post and when i checked the rates, they seem to be better than dcu.org.
When i checked the eligibility criteria to join penfed, its vague and it seems that if i join military officers assn of america for 13dollar annual membership(which i dont need to retain) , i can get their membership. Is this correct?
If i get membership with this moaa, would that hurt my greencard process as the greencard assumes no affiliation with any military associations etc... (i remember some questions like that). Can someone please advise ?
Thanks

IVs strategists must look into a diplomatic angle to come up with mechanisms to fight retro which I think IV is currently doing and is on the track.[/QUOTE]
------------------------------------
If President Bush believes that EB reform is in the National interest of US then it will be done.
For example the nuclear deal with India was pushed hard by Bush and inspite of all opposition by Non-Proliferation lobby the Congress overwhelmingly approved it just because it was perceived to be in the US national interest. Even though it completely undermined US position vis-a-vis Iran and North Korea, President Bush successfully convinced Congress to not only change domestic laws but literally forced the entire Nuclear Supplier Group consisting of 15 nations to bypass all international rules and norms just to make an exception for India�s case. All this was done just because it was in the US national interest and India�s too.
Bottomline:
Is EB Green Card reform in US National Interest?
Is Hi-tech labor export in India�s National Interest?
If the answer to the above two questions is Yes then anything can be achieved. Politics can create strange bedfellows and nothing is impossible in politics as proven by the nuclear deal.
Just a thought!!!!

Great, please contact pappu. He is a part of the core group. I have already contacted him. BTW do you have PHP exp?
I can work on this over a weekend. However, the contribution information is known only to the core group. So someone in the core group will have to enter contribution info into the database and set up the procedure call to return only the member level and not the contribution amount to shield info.

GCPlease - I am also in the same boat! RFE not yet received but looks like it could be for the photos. Its been over 8 days now. I did not get a notice for biometrics. It could be because we did our 485 biometrics just 8 months ago. Perhaps they will just use that.
Should I just send the photos in and see what happens without waiting for the actual RFE? Where did you send the photos? Same address as the docs that you sent?
Thanks,

Anyone can throw light into this one. Can we track APs now for NSC.
NSC is receipting late and also their AP documents are mailed very late. Please let us know when we receive our AP document after getting the receipts? for eg. 10 days, 20 days etc..
It will help lot of us who want to make some travel plans.. [some like us are eagerly waiting for past 4 yrs!!!]
Thanks to IV and all the members
I don't think anyone will be able to predict when someone will get AP approved. USCIS has mentioned that they are concentrating on EAD more than anything else (read AP). Also, unlike TSC, NSC only issued receipts so I suppose they are issuing EAD's now. AP seems far away. Even TSC is behind in processing AP.
