Only 10% of the general public said immigration is the most important issue for them - and mind you, ILLEGAL immigration and amnesty to illegal aliens is what comes to mind of most average americans. The perceived opposition to CIR was blown out of proportion by the conservatives and their media cronies like Lou Dobbs. That it did not work clearly shows that the american public too mature and sensible to be carried away by such rhetoric.
I am not sure but one thing we can see a lot of anti immigration conservatives are not doing too good at house.. so what does this mean.. immigration is an issue by the conservative talk shows...Lou Dobbs.. and people like them and not the gen US public ???

Swamy - You have posted a truly brilliant quote my friend. My contributions to Immigrationvoice will begin shortly. Good luck to us all and God bless.
I did sometime back.
Given thanksgiving is barely a week away, we can be certain of the usual platitudes directed at immigrants - this is a good time to remind the average American how far they have strayed from their roots and forgotten the true sentiment behind the tradition. Immigrants have always been hated and reviled by those that got here earlier - but the current anti-immigrant sentiment is vastly different in scale and sophistry due to the times we live in. If every IV member signs up 10 citizens to the immigrant cause, we should easily be 100,000 strong in a couple of weeks. It could be anyone from your advisor at school who mentored you to your buddies at work - even the stinkin relatives should be harassed. Though CIS and Numbersusa pretend that they are a product of the current anti-illegal sentiment, they started out much before the so-called 'wave' started. And they have adapted and honed their strategies very well to crush whatever relief Congress contemplates/passes. Consider the way CIS was initially dedicated to 'researching' immigrant issues that they would complain about the media's positive stories about immigrant contributions as merely anecdotal evidence not worthy of rebuttal. Now they are suddenly fond of anecdotal evidence themselves since experts began demolishing their claims of job-stealing and other baseless charges convincingly(esp CFR's Sebastian Mallaby) using empirical evidence-they shamelessly stoop to use someone's sob story to make their case. So, as repugnant as their motives are, they are too transparent for their own good- and they can't cover their tracks -which is good for us since we are appealing to the fair minded. Remember - every one in the US is an immigrant or an offspring of one. They have always been hated and reviled -so if someone who benefited from the immigrant tradition of this nation wants to turn around and deny it to those following him/her even though their ancestors did the same thing at a great emotional/economic cost to the then existing natives- they have a higher bar in explaining why the current bunch shouldn't continue to benefit from the great tradition-merely being bigoted but sophisticated enough to hide it isn't enough. so don't lose heart but dont sit on your ass either.

I think it is very important that all those seeking to file a case against the DOL review the Liberty v Chao ruling (https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2004cv0915-41). It will be very difficult to file and win a case prior to September 2007 unless one files a case in a different federal circuit. Note that the 485 and DOL cases were in the DC circuit which lawyer Rajiv has been cited as noting are averse to decisions against the executive branch of government.
I quote from an ILW analysis (http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/digest/2005,1011.shtm) (I believe I had posted this elsewhere):
However, the plaintiffs in this case have made it somewhat easier for future litigants similarly situated in that DOL has provided the District Court with a projected timeline for adjudicating the massive DOL backlog, the failure to do which may make future courts more sympathetic (see p. 16). This case also provides a helpful list of cases arguably on point which other district courts in other circuits may find more persuasive than those cited by the District Court in justifying its decision (see p. 15).

We need 15 more senators to switch to NO for this to fail (not just 5). There will not be another cloture. This cloture gives 30 hours of time to debate those 24 amendments. Then there will be a final vote for the bill with 50+ votes passing the bill. Remenber Dick Cheney, the tie breaker. So we ought to have 51 NO votes.
I beg to differ but there will be another Cloture vote on thursday evening after which they are going to limit the debate and then have a final vote on the bill.

When Skill bill will be scheduled to debate / discuss in house as well as in Senate? Any idea please.
1) When are we sending FAX to congressmen ? Is there a plan of action from the Core Team members regarding this SKIL BILL ?
2) When the debate starts in congress ? How can we find out the dates?
Any comments ?

I see a lot of boiling blood and nice thoughts, If we can find out How much it would cost to pull out a Half page or Full Page AD on prominent news paper like NY Times or WSJ etc. Work on and create a fullpage/half page ad that would be a good start in opening eyes of congress/common people.
Any thoughts.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/26/us/26moveon.html?_r=1
Full page is for $65000 in section A New York Times.
If you want for specific day, it is for $142,083
Now, How much do you want to contribute to this amount?
People on this thread think this is some joke. By pledging 1K you cannot even get a mosquito out of country cap. You need million dollar first to start.
Any thoughts.

There was a Telecon held yesterday night ( 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm) on establishment of new state chapters. Some core members as well as some veteran State Chapter leaders participated along with us greenhorns (newbies). Me, Chintu25 and CagedCactus participated from Michigan. Regretfully since it was a last moment decision , more members couldn't be invited to participate.
I was active in the Telecon almost to the last (I hope). It was highly educative and informational to listen to the IV Core perspective on State Chapters. Veterans also pitched in with their experience in organizing their chapters (some super secret recipes were revealed :)). Some chapter leaders for new chapters also introduced some really great ideas. To the end, I started bombarding the core with lots of questions, and they were patient in answering all of those ( b/n 10-10:30 pm!).
Unfortunately these matters cannot be discussed in the public forum, here, as we are monitored by Anti-Immigrants. Ditto for E-mails and PMs, as we have no way of verifying the authenticity of the other person. So please don't feel offended if your PMs and E-mail inquiries remain unanswered!
ONLY way to get acquainted with the 'inside news' is to participate in the 10/20 meeting, details of which are published below. Be there if you wish to remain in the know.

I did not attend as I was not in a position to take 2-3 days off from work during Sep18th, too much work load, need to fly from CA, additional expenses, etc. ..But I'll definitely attend if the next rally happens in the Bay area or close by.

I am very sorry to hear about your case. As others are pointing out - it is not all over yet. Make sure you get in touch with a good lawyer and take a good route to fight USCIS.
Also, could you please let us know of your PD? Doesn't look like you are current right?
As of September VISA bulletin my PD is current, its July 2006 under EB-2

Well. It certainly is a good news. Atleast for me. :) I would like to caution though that getting current does not necessarily mean getting approved. We have had cases from 2003/2004 PD members where they did not get approved for long time despite their date getting current.

May be we should try to lobby for a bill with one time relief of Backlog of EB retrogressed.
I feel that once this backlog is reduced, it will be easier for future applicants anyway as H1Bs are reduced to 65000 from last few years.
I request IV core to look into this option as the opposition from anti immigrants would be less for something like this. This has happened once before in yr 2000.

I recently applied under 0213. I agree process is not as complicated as it sounds also I am not sure what value add a lawyer will do apart from keying information from you in the forms. My suggestion - do it on your own. Use this forum Skilled Worker / Professional Immigration (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)
and this step by step guide
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf
Can you please provide the reference through whom you applied? I thought 0213 category is not eligible anymore.

Guys,
Wanted to started this thread to get reviews on different law firms
I can understand the quality and committment of lawyers can make a huge difference especially in this unprecendented situation where all EB categories are made current now and now there is a rumour that it would be retrogressed back probably sometime next week with a new visa bulletin.
A lot of lawyers who are really committed and sincere to their client's clause: Getting them Green Card, are working overnight and over the weekend also so that their client can file I-485 ASAP and on the other hand few law firms are acting as slackers and not even responding to their client's emails.
Anyway, I am interested in knowing everyone's experience ( good or bad ) with law-firms and their recommendation.
My Own Case:-> I work for a multibillion dollar telecom company and joined this company almost 15 mos ago with a promise that they would start my GC immediately. Till Now, they have not yet file my labor. Their lawfirm is Larrabee http://www.larrabee.com/ in sanDiego. I don't have much experience with them as my application is still in my company's internal queue but based on the basis of my little experience, I would certainly not recommend them
Thanks

A Good immigration lawyer is the one that also supports this community & our struggle
If you have a good experience with your lawyer and are recommending the law firm, pls also try to talk to your lawyer about IV. Ask the law firm if they want to contribute/ or even publicize IV to their clients. If they agree to do it, please post here. If they refuse, pls post here.
So when you write about how good your lawyer is, pls also mention if the lawyer supports IV and the help that has been extended to IV. If they have posted IV information/banner ad on their website, post the website URL here.
This will help maintain a list of lawyers who are recommended by members and at the same time, help IV.

I am EB-3 ROW PD 2007 Aug. Reading all the Eb-3 I people's angry, I started to wonder what's gonna happen to the EB-3 ROW. Seems like if lots of Eb3-I change to EB2-I , They will probably eat up all the Spillover from Eb1, EB2 ROW from now on. That makes EB-3 ROW and EB-3 I become the same boat.
Is it what gonna happened? and think about how many people can afford to spend an extra 10k to change the status from EB-3 to EB-2? That's totally not fair. We need to take action all EB-3 ers!!!!!!
