I tried calling and setting up appointment with our local senator and congressman hack even their associates. I was told that they have too much on their schedule to meet with me. I guess:
No vote = No Value...
ok now we have 300!
Precisely, members underestimate the importance of meeting lawmakers in a large scale. When we meet members of Senate and congress all over the country, not only can we get a new Bill, but our provisions could also get attached to any other Bills once they morally support us. But it will not happen if you just send chain mail, its all about building human relations with the law maker staff and make them aware of our problems. That is why family based visas and illegals, kids (DREAM) get ahead as they have the human factor apparent.
With law makers its all about human values, empathy, compassion, etc. - like family, kids. You can forget everything about rocket science, recursion, curve fitting - it doesn't mean anything to them in terms of getting their support. It is difficult for a technical person to understand this and their point of view. It would help to get your extended family involved if you have one.
Even today skill based immigration is not even at the forefront of population growth, as their idea about general population is a bit different and has nothing to do with IQ. that is why extra effort is needed from us.
There has to be a continuous relation maintained with the immigration rep of the law maker.

You are making the same error I made. This is part of SA180 and is contained on page 1113. On the other hand SA 187 is mentioned on page 1121 and that is what got passed.
Go looking for what happened to SA180 and you may get an answer to what happened to what you quote below. Right now I cannot find what happened to SA180.
TITLE VI--FAMILY UNITY AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
Sec..1601..Elimination of existing backlogs.
Sec..1602..Country limits.
Sec..1603..Allocation of immigrant visas.
Sec..1604..Relief for children and widows.
Sec..1605..Amending the affidavit of support requirements.
Sec..1606..Discretionary authority.
Sec..1607..Family unity.

When every one send individual letter, they will read the first one and then will just ignore others. Because the content and issue is same. When we 50+ people send one neatly drafted letter...I am sure it will draw considerable attention. Ron is willing to help us. I am not sure if we need to hire him for this. If so, how many of you ready to share the expense.

I've contacted NVC and the Consulate many times. Indeed, they just followed the rules and they don't consider it is an extraordinary case.
I have contacted congressmen and senators to try to highlight this issue and to be totally honest most of them have so little knowledge of immigration law they do not even understand the problem.
The CIS do not care, they follow the rules.
It is attention much higher up that is needed on Capitol Hill and someone who is willing to make it a REAL issue.

Scroll to the Advocacy tab and read thru the "Meet the lawmakers" document.
Meeting is better than emailing, as emails do not get read. Ask IV Coordinator for the presentation zip when you get an appointment with your lawmaker.

MC, I enjoy reading your posts, which, very often, are terse one-liners.
IMHO, you should have your CPO email before end of May. once you get it, don't go away, stay with us, here, on IV.

Pasadena congressman Adam Schiff from CA supports legal immigration. I received an email from him recently stating the same.
"In considering immigration reform, Rep. Schiff has repeatedly stated that he does not believe in amnesty for undocumented aliens, but he does believe that those who have been living in this country -- working and paying taxes -- should be given an opportunity to embark on a lengthy and hard-earned path to citizenship. However, he has made it clear that he does not support immigrants who are here illegally being rewarded for breaking our laws by jumping ahead of those who have sought to enter this country legally."
--C.
Okay, apart from Rep. Lofgren:
1. Pasadena congressman Adam Schiff from CA
2. Sen. Cantwell
3. Sen. Cornyn
Who others should we write to? Is there some IV thread that metions all these names?
Thanks!

SA 187.
Kennedy's staff picked up something from their old files...like the original McCain-Kennedy bill of 2005 (the CIR before it hit the judiciary committee last year) that had the hard country cap and slapped it on Thomas against Session's amendment.
If you look at the text, its remarkably similar to the original McCain-Kennedy text (140K to 290K, hard country cap, recapture...all that. Even the description of the title).
They copy-pasted the text for skilled immigration from original McCain-Kennedy that was their brainchild, instead of copy-pasting it from S 2611 ES what had all the amendments from last year's senate CIR. But then again, copy-paste is very common on the Hill. Last year, Bill Frist copied the entire Judiciary Committee version and introduced it after deleting 2 titles related to Amnesty and guest-worker bill.
If this amendment had really passed, and if it had not been modified in the conference between house and senate and if hard cap had become a law, then this amendment would have done more harm than good.
Could you elaborate on the harm that would cause us please...
I would like to understand this system.....

Below post appears to be by a user who had his application pending in NSC and approved, based on this profile in IV.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/821876-post47.html
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/members/17715-cokeraj.html
Looks like NSC is also approving I-485's. Not sure how long this trend is going to continue, guess all depends on how much visa numbers gets trickled down from other categories to EB2 India / China. Hope and wish they are many.. which would helps many people waiting in line and PD not getting pushed back for FY '10. I feel bad for EB3 folks though, seems like nothing going to change for them at least in near future, untill there is some congressional action. Hopefully the next VB gives some indication on how things are going to move. Good luck and wishes to all who got greened, especially with older PD's who have been waiting for years. Think nothing changes much overnight with GC, but certainly gives a peace of mind and helps execute long term plans with much confidence.

Just few months ago, I had enough to spare 20% down payment for the type of townhome I liked, I made commitment for buying it. I have been carefully reading various home related articles in news papers as well as in IV postings. All the arguments against buying did not affect decision-making in terms of delaying or stopping.
Some of the ancinet Indian thoughts link changes in luck (for good or bad) with differenct events of life - education, marriage, childbirth, new friends, change of place, change of job, change of home, etc. While selecting home I tried to follow as much as possible to Indian Vastu Shastra and Chinese Feng Shui.
This is my third home purchase - two was in India - so I am not excited like earlier purchases. In fact while selling previous one (because I needed money), I was not comfortable because I got very much attached.
Simply:
I did not buy earlier, because I was not having enough money. When prices lowered and I could afford, I made purchase. I had social pressure for the last five-six years to purchase home but I did not yield to that (20% was my bottom line). Now there is media pressure against buying but I did not yield to that.
It was just, when I became comfortable. I'll be moving next month.

If your wife has an approved extension of H4 till 2010 and you are expecting her H1 to be effective on 1 oct - why do you want to apply for extension again with the new company.
I'm not sure if you *have* to apply for an extension for her when you switch your job. Best thing - if you want to take the job - say *yes* to the job offer with a condition that there should not be any issues for your wife. Your new company can connect you with their lawyer and in a meeting you would be able to know the exact scenario.
Having said that and knowing how the sentiments go for lawyers :-) , if you want to play it safe - say *yes* tomorrow, talk to their lawyer and get it confirmed that there are no risks, start the paperwork and in parallel, talk to a lawyer of your own choice ( you would need to spend some money ) and get reconfirmation of the same. If both lawyers have the same answer and you feel comfortable, go ahead with your change.
Today has been a crazy day and you posted this question on such a day - on any regular day someone or the other would have surely helped you with better answers but thats all I can help you with today.... hope things work out for the best for you.
