My I-140 was filed on July 6 and arrives at USCIS on July 9.
The check was cashed on July 12 and I was able to get the receipt number. BUT BY NOW I HAVE NOT RECEIVE THE RECEIPT. It seems many people are in the same boat. What we can do about it?
Anybody knows how many days it would take between they cash the check and mail out the receipt? What address do they use?

I agree, India is a far better option.
Assuming this discussion is about immigration/permanent-settlement and not about short term visits, work and study.
On the side note, The only problem faced in india is over population which triggers almost all other issues. If india implements onechildpolicy most of the problems faced today will disappear in few decades. Your child (note: singular) need not leave india to enjoy international level lifestyle & benefits.
As a backup plan to greencard advocacy we need to lobby the indian government to implement onechildpoilcy immediately.
You do realise that one of the biggest reasons for India's rapid growth is it's population right? It is both a boon and a curse. And if you "enforce" a one child policy, there will be a rapid decline in population. There will be major social problems, what happens to a couple if their only child dies in teenage?. Apart from obvious social issues (kids will have fewer cousins and fewer relatives), the biggest problems will arise in 30 years when the severely depleted young populace will have to support the huge number of retired old workers either directly through parental support or indirectly through taxes.
Think of your old age too, these solutions look interesting, but it will kill the very reasons that make India attractive today.
A gradual stabilization of population by encouraging families to have just two children through social programs is the way to go and I think India has done a good job of it in the last 2-3 decades. These things take time.
And before you quote China's "significant progress", 25 years later, they are going through a lot of issues. For example, take a look at this http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/25/world/asia/25shanghai.html

Yabadaba,
"Moron" is an insult. I don't insult anyone. If you don't like my posts, just ignore them.

Ombudsman is right. This is a public forum and if you dont like something ignore it. I personally find, Ombudsman's posts quiet interesting and good food for thought. They are put forward in a very professional manner unlike some people who use insults and sarcasm.
Cheers

Hi
I am trying to donate $50 but every time I go through the "Donate" link it takes me to paypal site, where it says that the transaction could not be completed.
Did anybody else saw this problem?
Can I simply send the money to donations@immigrationvoice.org? The last time I contributed using paypal this was the email address that the money was sent to, the business member id was 878.

WASHINGTON -- Greeley Mayor Tom Selders wants to know when Congress is going to address immigration reform.
It's a simple question, but the answer is as elusive as the proverbial dog's tail -- a dizzying chase of vague answers and insufficient information.
"It seems to me like people are talking about immigration issues all over the country," Selders said. "I think that it is really sad that the government can't put a priority on it."
The latest source of Selders' frustration was a meeting of business and community leaders in late January with Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo.
"We were disappointed with Allard's response," Selders said.
Sean Conway, Allard's chief of staff, said Allard never promised to bring up immigration at this particular delegation meeting.
"What he talked about was that he would be glad, as the process began to move forward and as concerns were brought forth, to pass those concerns on" to the delegation, Conway said.
Conway said Allard would very much like to see the issue brought up in the Senate, but that as far as he knew, it was not at the top of the Democratic agenda. "This is an issue (Allard) very much wants to be involved with and has been involved with," Conway said.
But Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., said immigration was a major issue that would be addressed this year, maybe as early as March.
"I think it is just a matter of time as to when we are able to get to it and I hope it is sooner than later," he said. Salazar is working with the Senate leadership on the immigration legislation, which will be sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
But for Selders, soon is not quick enough.
"We have frustration here. We see a lot issues and turmoil and some very nasty comments," he said. "(City officials) have all taken oaths of allegiance we will enforce the laws of this land and the frustration is that we lack the resources to do that. The laws are unclear and we lack jurisdiction."
Immigration's National Outlook: Cloudy
Outside of the Colorado delegation, consensus and clarity on when the immigration will receive top billing by Congress is not much better.
Congress, under Democratic control, is actually in tune with President Bush on immigration for the first time in years. Despite this, few observers believe that a comprehensive immigration bill will pass this year.
One of the few is Bob Dane, press secretary for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, who said President Bush and the Democrats were "locked and loaded" to pass immigration reform that included a guest worker program, or "amnesty."
"I don't see how immigration can be an issue leading up to the 2008 election," he said. "It's such a volatile issue. We are guessing that they want to get it done before the election."
But John Keeley, director of communications for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think-tank that researches immigration, was not certain. He said many of the freshman democrats, known as "Blue Dogs," who gave the Democrats the majority, were elected on immigration platforms that were against a guest worker program, favored by Bush and the Democratic leadership of Congress.
"On the horizon of the 2008 general election we tend to think that it is not likely we will see significant legislation," as opposed to last year, he said.
Keeley said instead of landmark legislation, lawmakers will try to pass bills or amendments that only address small pieces of the issue.
That process has already begun. A bill was introduced in the Senate that would set up a guest worker program just for agriculture workers. In addition, a provision has been attached to minimum wage legislation that would withhold federal contracts from any company found hiring illegal immigrants.
But the Democratic leadership is hoping to have a comprehensive immigration bill on President Bush's desk by the end of the year.
Laura Capps, a spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., said the senator, who is the Senate subcommittee chair on immigration, border security and citizenship, was hoping to have the Senate bill introduced in late February or early March. Capps did not know of an exact date yet.
The real fight is expected in the House, not the Senate, which passed bipartisan legislation last session. The Republican House leadership was uninterested in the guest worker program, however, and only discussed the border enforcement aspect --the so-called 700-mile border fence.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the chairwoman of the House subcommittee on immigration, border security and claims, plans to begin the committee process "promptly." But her spokeswoman, Kyra Jennings, said no date has been set to begin consideration of an actual bill.
STATE STATISTICS 2006
570 bills concerning immigrants were introduced in state legislatures.
90 bills and resolutions passed the state legislatures
84 of those were signed into law, more than double the amount of 2005
32 states enacted laws, including Colorado
Most states focused on education, employment, identification and driver's licenses, law enforcement, legal services, public benefits, trafficking and voting procedures.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

Forming human chain may involve actually holding hands.. and might turnout to be unhygienic to many. How about hunger strike - for a day or two - and it is also good for health. A better option would be -DONATE a day's salary to IV on a particular day..I am in for it: Nov 9th?
I am not being jsut sarcastic here: just curious to know, of the 20K+ people who had directly benefited by IV between July 17 and Aug 17, how many were there in the rally? July fiasco is the one that has made many immi community professionals to look up to IV mainly because PEOPLE directly benefited from IV's efforts. Still it would be worthwhile to analyze the response and attitudes of IV users/members in general, and fiasco beneficiaries in particular, before getting carried away by the euphoria of the moment to plan for rallies in state capitals, SFO etc.
Just because you can go on a city's roads with permission, does not mean that you should do it compulsively nor over do it. SJ and DC rallies made the point: caught the media and lawmakers' attention. Do one every month, then it will be a joke.

Overall - $5000.
Advance - $2500 within 30 days to start the work.
Is the overall work something like 100K that they have divided by the number of requests to yield 5K per request? Unlikely. I think they just sent standard 5K demand to each FOIA request to shut it down.
Even if they pay me $2500 for pulling out this info. Just 5 mins job to run the query and imagine if they get 10 requests per day. Man I wud be a millionaire within no time.
Atleast they acknowledged that it requires highly skilled individual(from their perspective) to do the job. :eek:

It's not a secret society. I saw them all at DC. May not know the names fully, but have seen them all. No ma'am I never thought they were aliens invading earth :p
I'm not anti-IV or anti-Core. I appreciate the work being done. I just posted my feelings on the way things work here, with the sincere hope that things can be improved. Definitely not for nitpicking.
Coming back to my point - you have answered it yourself. I think... I think... Here I think... I don't think..... It's a guessing game for us.
I'm not asking IV to post every financial transactions over here. It wouldn't hurt to publish summaries - xxx grands spent on yyyy action item. We collected xxxx amount, we need yyyy more.
Even Know-Nothing organizations like NumbersUSA do that. We know how much they spent last year and how much they're spending this year. There's a reason for it. Lobbying firms need to declare how much money they received from their clients each quarter.
There's a website called OpenSecrets.org where you can find out how much each organization spent on lobbying, including IV. So the figures are not so secret at all. In fact 'open secrets' after the next quarter.
Coming back to NumbersUSA, you'll find their views of every frigging piece of legislation in Senate and the House. Where's the IV analysis of STRIVE act? SKIL Bill? NU has a scorecard for every Congressman, what all they did etc. And here we are afraid to talk about what the lawmakers said , as if each one of them will be sponsoring a separate new bill to increase GC numbers for EB immigrants, and it will hurt if anti-immigrants learn of this plan!
We live in an open society. Each legislation, each ammendment gets posted on Thomas way before it comes up for discussion. NumbersUSA and other anti-immigrant organizations need not look here for what's coming up for discussion. They have their sources in Congressional staff/aides. In fact, most of us learn about upcoming legislations browsing NumbersUSA website, instead of on IV - as it should be! The kind of unneccessarily high secrecy, seen here, is self-defeating.
Trust is bi-directional. If you don't trust others, they won't trust you. It's easier to participate in things you know and understand, than following things you're instructed to trust blindly[ as in 'I won't tell you anything. I'm doing all I can to help you. You have to trust me on that']. Why do you think 'Know-Nothings' lost to Whigs?
I got a feeling that some members feel that IV run a secret community with-in IV (I am not sure how many watched the movie "The Stepford Wives" ).
I think that core members and volunters knows strategy and action plan well before others. I think there would be hierarchy within that also.
I dont see anything wrong in that.
Here I think what goes on internally.. If you are more active in the threads you would sure get a message from IV moderators about ur willingness to volunteer. IV core seriously does not have the ability to read the psyches of each individaul member and invite them int to the secret soceity(?). Only possible way to know for them is how much active you are for a while. i dont think there are any specific paramters for that , it is a matter IV core getting convinced that u r serious enough. Not a day or two.. How long .. and how serious you are with ur ideas...
About funds .. none of the organizations declare their monetory dealings openly. There is a youtube video by logiclife on this. see it if u have not laready seen it.
Keep up the good work.. Sure you would become the member of secret soceity soon :).

Transforming members to contributors is good step but before that we have to work locally to convert "Guests to Members" or a IV "Ignorant to a Guest".Whenever i open IV i see more Guests than Members browsing ... :)
Remember 500,000 folks are stuck in EMP based backlogs - Out of that 23,000 are IV members,may be 30,000 would be anonymous guests , and rest 450,000 do NOT know about IV at all !!!
I mean to spread our movement more on a grass-root level we may need to increase awareness in a planned manner. May be TV Ads,newzpaper, Phone call immigrant house holds, Colored Flyer at Car Wiper - WHATEVER IT TAKES. Twist every ears , pull every hairs kind of thing.
If IV can arrange 150 lawmaker meet with 2500 active folks at DC think about how many meetings can be arranged if there are 25,000 active folks !!!! We dont have that many lawmakers ( 645 someone said )
I know talking is easy on a Friday night over drinks than working and that's what i'm doing right now :) but just thought of expressing my views.
Does any of this makes sense ?
We should focus on spreading awareness about IV. I can't believe I was totally unaware of IV's existence until a month back. I haven't done much but felt strongly about what IV's doing. Me and my wife attended the rally and even contributed for the first time ever. We should brainstorm on how we can get more people on board and on how to transform members into contributors.

Me and my wife attended the rally and even contributed for the first time ever. We should brainstorm on how we can get more people on board and on how to transform members into contributors.

1. Bush is a lame duck president now.
2. He is not going to do anything for anyone in his last few months. Especially for us who are not in anybody's radar.
3. The white house is better staffed to handle mail and has a larger team to scrutinize mails. Truth is Bush meay never hear about 25K mails sent over a month.
25 K Mails sent in 2 days well may be.
This is a good effort but wrong target. May be ppl sense that and are holding off.
4. We cannot be just an internet forum anymore we need meet n greets..periodic meetings that bring ppl together face to face.

I've read the document. IEEE is supporting "Immigration Visas" but not H-1B visas(temporary).
Can you shed some light what they meant by "Immigration Visas"?
It would be great if you can give us an example of some one coming on "Immigration Visa" and becoming a permanent resident and subsequently a US citizen.
Immigration visas are really GCs themselves. The only ones that I know who come directly to US on one are the family sponsored immigrants.
i agree IEEE is right about H1-B visas denying rights to workers (we dont claim it is perfect either).But it is just not conceivable for EB immigrants to come directly on a GC, given the long delays. So what they say sounds valid in theory, but impossible in practise.
If USCIS takes 5 years to process an EB visa,how is anyone going to wait that long to hire a foreign worker ? And what is going to happen to a foreign student when he graduates ? go back home and return after 5 years ? Even allowing for significant reform, and assuming their "instant GC" proposal is really instant, I dont see a GC ever being processed in under 2 years anytime in the near future. IEEE only provides lip service to legal immigration, while pushing its case against H1-B. I have not seen any concrete proposals from them to make the GC process painless. To me, it all smells of a veiled attempt to make the immigration process so cumbersome that few employers will want to even go for it.
IEEE-USA might at best be neutral towards our cause, but going by their reaction to CIR, I dont see them jumping with joy if GC numbers are increased.

Why don't we concentrate on state chapters.. that surely makes some big difference. We were able to apply for I-140 and I-485 thats a huge blessing. But do we have enough time to motivate our EB friends to join us and meet the law makers, signing letters etc... If we have many active members we would have achieved something.
