My humble disagreement here...
Even though the hearing has been scheduled for the bill S 424, the hearings are not tightly linked to a specific bill. Hearings are a means to collect the data related to the issue at hand. The hearing results can be used to a wide range of related bills. S 1085 is a very similar bill and the emphasis of this bill is also reuniting families. During markup of whichever bill they pickup, they can amend the new pieces of the other bill.
If it is a markup, then, it is tightly linked to the bill.
So, definitely the party remains in good standing :)
Sorry to spoil the party guys..but it seems this hearing is for
S 424 - Uniting American Families Act of 2009
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:1:./temp/~c111NlehB4::
and not S.1085 Reuniting Families Act ...
I hope someone proves me wrong.... :mad::confused:

The requirements for the position shouldn't exceed SVP time levels for the job zone to which the position code belongs - that's all I know. If the position code falls under zone IV or V you can require MS.
I still don't understand how BS+5 qualifies for EB2. If the position code falls is in zone V, BS+5 (7 years of SVP) would be a "normal" requirement, but isn't EB2 only for people with advanced degrees AND positions that require the advanced degree?
I agree with your reasoning. BS+5 seems excessive for EB2 purposes. However, my lawyer also said it is acceptable if the position was a senior level one, eg. Sr Software Engineer. I don't quite understand how she arrived to that conclusion, that's why I'm asking on this forum in the hope that some of the folks on here who have had their PERM labor certification approved under EB2 even though their occupations were Jobzone 4 or SVP 7 <8 would share their experience and stories.

This hits the nail on the head. We need to do a reality check on our side as well. I have been extremely embarassed by my fellow desis stinking to the core and digging their noses in meetings.
I've also had the extreme embarassment of being asked by a fellow non-Indian colleague as to why most 'male' desis didn't believe in taking a shower and washing their clothes.
Another point raised was why some ladies wore anklets in the office. The sound of anklets does bother me too since it truly distracts one's attention. I understand there is a cultural tradition involved here but we need to assimilate as much as possible especially in the work environment.
Sometimes, unfortunately such things take away the attention from our real skills which are our brains and smart work.
We need to maintain proper hygiene and courtesy everywhere, even at home.

I filed FOIA request for my i-140 approval notice(using i-140 receipt #) and I got the response from USCIS. Surprisingly they said they were not able to find my approval
notice. They could find my i-140 petition and sent me copies to 2 pages from
the petition. I am not sure why they couldn't find the approval notice.
I double checked my FOIA request and I mentioned the receipt number correctly.
On the USCIS case status page, it clearly shows that i-140 is approved.
I have the i-i40 receipt notice. Are there any alternatives?

We had around 17 highly charged up and dedicated IV members who definiitely want to do "something".
There was a diverse crowd this time. We had F1 students, who are now beginning to understand the gravity of this issue. One student is a student in Journalism and is currently doing project in legal immigration.
One physician came all the way from Connecticut and his wife another physician doing residency came all the way from Long Island and our dedicated leader mpadapa came all the way from Poughkeepsie.
Me and another family came from Queens. Some were from Manhattan.
Almost everyone else resided in New Jersey.
'laborchic' was the man behind this meet and greet and his enthu never went down, he always stood up and adressed the gathering. He stressed on the importance of Unity, which the community lacks.
mapdapa discussed about local law maker meetings. He has been managing and scheduling local lawmaker meetings. Almost everyone instantly offered to meet their lawmakers - but definitely with training and some direction and efficient management.
Me, mpadapa, singhsa3, siravi and laborchic were explaining to folks the importance of IV, our goals, plans etc...
One of them was a "Birthday Boy". He accompanied his sister and brother in law whose IV handle "sweet23guyin"
We had ndbhatt, healing_wong, dressking, supermann, frankiesaysrelax, devillion696 who also actively participated.
In addition, logiclife's email newsletter got us a few more people and I do not have their IV handles, they are Badri, Tejesh, Alpesh, Sailesh.
One guy (Alpesh) was a part of San Jose rally and was an active member in the CA chapter and recently moved to NYC.
Maya is a beautiful place for a evening drink and a snack and discuss things - only drawback was that they played music that was loud, and we had to ask them to reduce the volume. The snacks were very good.
Based on the feedback over past few days and also based on some feedback about local meetings in general
Everyone wants to have a Saturday afternoon meeting in New Jersey.
The meeting must be in a conference hall or a banquet hall and have parking facilities.
One or two core members must be present
Training for law maker meets must drive the entire session with other stuff also being discussed in between.
Educating people about IVs goals and the hard work IV does in the background is a must in every chapter meeting.
We all decided that we will be active from now on, if we were not active earlier. We will build a strong State chapter.
Those who were in the "meet and Greet" yesterday - please post your experience - we all took turns and spoke and shared ideas - do please post your experience and your views.

Next time someone questions IV's efforts, I am going to bluntly ask them if they contributed or came for the advocacy day event. If they did neither, we do not need their 2 cents of free comments.

I have been doing the same research for the past one month, here is my experience.
1. Termlife Vs Wholelife.
Term is better than whole life. Instead of going with whole life, you can have Term + Saving account. For example, if you need $500/year for term and $2500/year for whole life. Take the Term insurnace and pay $500/year, open a saving account and deposit $2000/year ($2500 - $500).
The only issue here is that Term will cover you till the age of 60-65 if you get 20-30 year fixed rate policy. But if you still have immovable assets at age 65, which you surely will, that you need protected for your dependents then you will not have any coverage at all because Term will last only its stated duration. If saving/investing during young age is the objective then Term is good, no doubt, because it's cheap and covers you from risk during young working years. But I guess no company gives Whole Life on H1 so there's not any other option.

CIR? There is no indication that CIR will happen this year.
True. But that is true for every other bill. Just the fact that a bill is introduced means nothing. More details about CIR were discussed in our last conference call. We will have another conference call next month and you can join to hear CIR developments.
Why wait for it?
We need to wait for it. Please join the donor forum and donor conference calls to know more details.
It brings up too much anti-immigrant sentiments amongst citizens affected by the recession.
Why do you think this family bill will not bring anti-immigrant sentiments?
We can just go ahead and support this bill right?
Sending emails, phone calls and faxes will not help at this point. You may want to join your state chapter and meet the lawmaker offices in person. Involve your chapter leader and members in the process as well.We will guide you. But do not go to support this bill. Go to them asking for xxxxx that we will tell you once you have secured the appointment with the office. We will provide you with all the material and guidance. If we need to facilitate our provisions, this is what we need to do rather than sending any email or calls. They will have 0% effect at this time. Infact anyone sending emails from a junk email ID without revealing their name, phone number and home address in the email is wasting their energy and hurting themselves and others in this community. Lawmakers want to hear from their constituents and you need to be a real person. An office should be able to contact you and know you have a legitimate concern in their constituency. You should urge others not to undertake such misguided attempts of spamming lawmaker offices and follow a proper process instead. Ask people on other websites who are sending random emails to come to IV and join our advocacy effort. We will help them reach out to their lawmaker offices so that they can go and meet these offices to convey their pain and suffering themselves.
Is there an official stand on this bill from IV core? Already stated above

When law abiding persons are prevented from gun ownership; crime goes up. Because whether it is legal or not, criminals always have guns.
Actually very true. I for one have held off on buying a gun (though my wife highly disapproves of guns) simply because I dont have a GC and dont want any hassles. Besides I live in Chicago which has a ban on guns. Ironic that the maximum killings and drive by shootings happen maybe 30-40 blocks from where I live but the city doesnt allow legal law-abiding residents to own guns.

I am not sure any one one of the people who made the above posts have their GC......... I would actually agree with mihird.
if you plan your life, you can overcome most obstacles, not having the GC included. it is folks who do not plan long term that are in trouble
