Can we get all these in any hospital or clinic or it has to be by the ones approved by USCIS? What is the cost associated to this? The health insurance will cover these?

I think those who are eligible to change to Eb2 should start immediately. In any case Eb2 was much better in past and it will be in future also as all the other country quota EB1 and Eb2 will automatically come to EB2 India and China every year. All the Eb3 should wait 10 years or hope for some law change.

two reasons
one, to vote, exercise a democratic principle, you can't complain about the government unless you actively participated.
two, I have 3 kids, and it's likely they'll stay here, my 12 year olds were 3 when we first arrived. My lawyer highly recommended we consider citizenship after another client had challenges. Despite good parenting this guy's kids got into trouble with the law, to the extent that they had their green cards revoked and they were in deportation process. However had they been US citizens whilst there were consequences they wouldn't have their citizenship revoked.
Not great reasons for some...
Q 1: What if one's native country is also a democracy?
Q 2: If one is already a citizen of democratic country other than US and same scenario will happen then one's kids will not have revoked citizenship (That other country's) as well if one decides to maintain his/her original citizenship ...

i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.
This is just unbelievable nitpicking. Completely unproductive.
A "grassroots" organization like IV is what its members come to the table with - making it fun etc. is also dependent on the members - not some specific, designated individuals.

I had an infopass appointment today and that was big waste of time and i had to drive 4 hours(2 hrs each way) for this.
They did not offer me any more information than the regular customer service.
She told me that they have received my FP on 7/22 (although I have given mine on 6/19) and it is not unusual that my application is pending. She asked me wait for another 30 days and come back if I dont receive until then.
I asked her if she could send an email or open an SR to the service center, and she said no saying that she will do that only after 30 days have passed beyond 90 day period.
I asked her about the interim EAD and she did not understand what I was talking about. When I provided her about USCIS memo, she said "yeah that is what im saying, we will contact the service center for that 30days after the stipualated 90 days have passed". Basically she did not know what she was talking about.
Im planning to contact the senator next week (this time I want to make sure that 90days have passed before I approach them)
Interestingly she told me that many people are coming to her everyday regarding the same (EAD renewal) and that Service Centers are aware of this (although this does not make any difference to us).
When I asked her if the case was assigned to an "officer", she told me that EADs are not assigned to officers (unlike 485) they are just reviewed and approved.
Hopefully they will approve our eads soon so that I can atleast drive a car.

If you read closely, it appears like the 290,000 immigrant visas would be true for years from now on and for years 2001-2005 (the diffrence between current limit and this section). If that's the case and if that becomes a law, there is possibility there will be no backlog after that for some time...short time probably. Please correct me if I am wrongly reading this section. But for me, it appears it applies retroactively and will add the diffrence (150k a year) between years 2001-2005. If my calculation and understanding is correct, once this act becomes a law, the first year there would be 290k + 600k from years 2001-2005 ......I am not sure if my understanding is correct. I prey it is..
IV Core nothing has been passed as yet.. & they sure are better informed than us..even if it is passed by Senate, we still have a long way to go.. the Debate etc.. before this becomes an Act..

Very few will come here if you mention about contributions in the title.
Well, if not that, at least make it obvious that it comes from the right source. I misunderstood this thread as somebody making malicious attack at the core group and disregarded it (though it has been started by a core member). It would help if we can understand who started the post (Like we can do, when we check the india-forums for the TV shows), so that people understand the importance (This may seem as nitpicking but it does make a difference because we dont read everything).
On a second note, even after giving the correct email, i have not received a email from IV like some others have mentioned, after the introductory email after joining in the first time (It would have made me do the pledge earlier if I had gotten the email considering that many of us are infrequent loggers and have a busy travelling schedule).
Just a thought.

Caliber, we are seeing a totally hopeless situation. Especially people with later PDs in EB3-I category.
The CIS official had clearly said that EB3-I pending will be in decades unless some changes are made to the immigration laws. Seeing the way the health care bill is going, none of the EB3 folks are seeing any hope for CIR.
You are 100% right. IV Core also got wrong data from CIS. Core is following up with the CIS. But as you said, EB3-I will not get any spill overs. There are 45K EB3-I's and we see hardly 100-200 in this forum. We need many people and I feel still people do not realize the grave situation.

Immigration voice is actively involved in advocacy, campaign efforts in Washington DC.
we need members all over the country to meet or call local Senators and house Reps, about Employment Visa issues regularly and ask them to sponsor, support Bills for our concerns.
This will ensure our voice is heard during meetings of each Chamber - Senate and Congress.
Legal Immigration reform is the core goal of Immigration voice.
This thread will discuss any bill introduced for Legal immigration, including employment and family based.
The advantages being:
1. CIR will not happen for the next 2 years with a republican house majority.
2. This will be a much smaller Bill and a larger percentage of people would support this.
3. We should distinguish ourselves from illegals for a path to the GC
4. We have a big lobby ourselves, with hundreds of thousands pending, to up to 10 million GCs, citizens involved.
5. We deserve preference for following all rules
6. Illegals have a major point lacking - they did not use a H-2A visa and instead broke the law. Due to this there is popular discontent which may doom their legalization, or drag it on for many more years.
7. Legals directly add benefit to the society and tax receipts. Many of us have paid close to 100K in 5 years to IRS. Taxation = fair representation. 5 years = 10 billion from all of us at least, if you assume only 100K immigrants.
Please add points supporting or refuting this.
I have no Ill-will towards illegals, this is just my opinion on what is better for the long term future of this country.
I have the highest compassion for all the poor and needy of the world, but it is irrespective of race, religion, color.

Below is a very good article from the "Economic Policy Institute " that highlights the fact that 2 well known Indian firms have single handedly lapped up 65% of H1B visas last year and have applied for just 69 green cards . Thats a GC application rate of 0.0004%. i Cannot help agree with the facts in this article. I totally agree that firms like these which abuse the system ought to be severely punished and blacklisted, so that geniunine US companies can get their required workers , when they need them . The link is as below.
http://www.sharedprosperity.org/bp187.html
Why is this wrong? These companies are using the H1B just as it was intended to be used - as a temporary work visa. If anybody is contravening the purpose of the H1B, it is all those companies hiring workers on H1B for permanent jobs by pretending that they are temporary workers and then filing for a green card for the worker.
