Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.
Bottomline: CHANGE is happening... Hope and prayers are helping... Good luck to all

You are right leo.
My question is - is quantity all that matters? We need lots of people to participate, but at the same time, I believe that people need to agree with IV provisions too, to be a passionate representative in lawmaker meetings. If the person is thinking twice to register (for free, and believes that registration will help IV), how dedicated and passionate will he be in articulating the IV provisions?
I would prefer to have quality of members over quantity of members. (I am only talking about dedication of members). Am I being judgmental? Maybe I am. But I believe my logic is right. You see, the person who does not want to register is also being judgmental, unapologetic, and he probably believes in his logic. He is entitled to his opinion (as I am), however, IV should not sacrifice its integrity to get members who do not believe in it.
Accommodating people who cannot extend the same courtesy to an organization working for their own benefit?
If people who are affected by 485 prefiling , or want to participate in the advocacy efforts, they can think in:
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, let me find out more and see if I can help.
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, I don't think it is possible to get the job done, I don't want to spend my time on it, I will stay away from it.

I am surprised that instead of contributing to the case, you are taking this matter in another direction. This is just a simple forum;, me NOT completing my profile is not going to create any financial or any other type of loss FOR ANYONE.

I have similar situation - I applied for 140 in July 2006. My daughter will turn 21 in July 2007. As I have applied for 140 before she turns 21, she is safe for GC, but will loose H4 status when she turns 21. As per my lawyer's advice I have applied for her F1 so that she can stay and continue her studies in US. When I become eligible to apply for 485, she can be included in the application - but, not as a dependent of H1B holder.I urge you to ask for second opinion. From my understanding it depends how long your I-140 was pending.
Here is a part of "The Child Status Protection Act � Memorandum Number 2" by
Johnny N. Williams
http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/childprotac.pdf
------------------------
Derivative Beneficiaries � Family and Employment-Based
In addition to the direct beneficiary family-based preference category examples provided in the previous memorandum and above, section 3 of the CSPA also applies to derivative beneficiaries in both family-based and employment-based preference categories. Just as with the case of the Form I-130, with an adjustment based upon an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, [and other immigrant petitions filed under section 204 of the Act for classification under sections 203(a), (b), or (c) of the Act], the beneficiary�s age is to be calculated by first determining the age of the alien on the date that a visa number becomes available. The date that a visa number becomes available is the approval date of the immigrant petition if, according to the DOS Visa Bulletin, a visa number was already available for that preference category on that date of approval. If, upon approval of the immigrant petition, a visa number was not available, then the date for determining age is to be the first day of the month of the DOS Visa Bulletin which indicates availability of a visa for that preference category. From that age, subtract the number of days that the petition was pending, provided the beneficiary files a Form I-485,3 based on the subject petition, within one year of such visa availability. The �period that a petition is pending� for the Form I-140 is the date that the Form I-140 is properly filed (receipt date and not priority date) until the date an approval is issued on the petition.

NO, it is not normal. My lawyers recieved the denial notice in a weeks time and they had told me that they would contact USCIS if they did not get the notice in 14 days.
Even my AP got approved on april 22nd and it was mentioned in status that the approval notice was sent on april 22nd. But again they updated the same info on May 1st.Still i havent recd the approval notice.

Hi,
I am in bit of a situation and trying to sort my options. I got my EAD, last month. Also took care of finger printing and received AP documents also. I 485 was filed in July 07. My I-140 is not yet approved.I am accepted to school in france for one year business course, starting Jan and ending Dec 08. Max I can fly back few times from France to US, for few days (In case there is rule for not staying abroad for more than six months). Plea
I am planning to either
a) Submitmy resignation and leave US by end of Nov 07 OR
b) take Leave of Absence from my firm for 15 months.
Is there a way I can continue my GC processing, factoring that I will be out of states for whole of next year.
Your suggestions are sincerely appreciated
Thanks,
Alp

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.
Also be prepared for a backlash ..make sure you have your bases covered.

I only have something to say, everyone is looking for its own turf, and if you really want diversity in the forum, the hard count will not attract anyone else other than Indians and Chinese. I am few months from working due to EB2- Worlwide category (current), so any change on the hard count is not on my benefit, same for anyone who is not from India or China, the EB3 is not current worlwide but the line of all the other countries is still shorter, if you really want to reach more than Indians and Chinese the goal has to be good for everyone, and the hard count is not. Thanks.
The request for the hard cap conversion to soft cap DOES NOT CANNIBALIZE non-Indians/non-Chinese. You are missing a key point here.
What the hard cap does is that say for example in the EB2 category the Indians and Chinese use up their quota. On the other hand the rest of the world uses only 50% of their quota (about 10K EB2 visas leftover, just a guesstimate).
1) With the soft quota, this leftover is given to the over subscribed countries in the SAME CATEGORY (Eb2). As a result, other EB2 candidates from India/China benefit
2) With the hard quota, this 10K now goes to UNSKILLED immigrants.
This amendment DOES NOT TAKE AWAY anything from the rest of the world at all! All it does is benefit SKILLED workers. Isn't IV about skilled workers? Why are some folks whose quota will NOT be CANNIBALIZED against this and consider this an issue of Indians/Chinese Vs Rest is beyond me. It is a matter of EB1 vs unskilled, EB2 vs unskilled and EB3 vs unskilled!
Can I be any clearer?

We have to help ourselves.
I for one will not be surprised. These undocumented immigrants march in thousands at their rallies [even though they face chances of deportation]. They are active in talking to media and getting publicity for their cause. They are also more actively contributing to help their cause. They have very strong backers - Agri-business, fast-food chains, restaurant owners, construction business , and immigration attorneys [ who will make lot of money if Z-visa gets passed], strong ethnocentric groups with considerable political clout, and many of them have US citizen relatives [who vote]
On the other hand, support of many immigration attoneys to EB immigration is half-hearted, high-tech employers care more about increasing H1B quota. Like it or not - IV is the only organization that is 100% devoted to EB immigration and working for our cause. Given this reality, IV should have got full support monetary and participation from 25,000 strong community here. As we know, only a minority of the community are doing all they can to help IV achieve its goal.
If we are not doing enough to help our cause, what right to we have to blame others for not helping us? In a way, we do deserve the step-motherly treatment for all the lethargy our community shows in standing up for its issues, and demanding a solution.

Folks,
I'm sure you must have debated this already. But, I'd post this anyways:
Is it possible to take out(or substitute) the need to have a IV handle or register with IV, inorder to participate and meet the law-makers on the Advocacy Day?
I'm thinking that could bring in more people. People who wants to register will register anyways and who don't want to can also participate. There are other ways to check the validity of the person registering
Thanks!
I never thought registering on IV is a an issue. I see close to 50K registered users on IV, I have not come across anyone who had any issues for registering with IV.
