Thanks a lot to all members for being with us in this struggle. We have tasted our first big success this year. Credit goes to each and every IV member. We were all affected by the visa bulletin fiasco and this is our victory. This is a victory for all our members and we must rejoice.
IV had worked very hard and had been pushing for this in the background. Our flower campaign, rally and other advocacy efforts all came together and helped us at a crunch time. We thank members that sent flowers and also walked in the San Jose heat for 4 hours. All that really shows our commitment to this cause.
We are happy that our efforts are successful and IV has been able to make a difference. Please also know that during this effort, IV was extremely active and decision makers heard our voice. We cannot give out all the details but what IV members should know is that these efforts should make each one of us proud and what we can do if we have a firm resolve. We were also the first to break this news even before anyone else or media could, and continued to update our members as time passed.
IV also thanks its contributing members and it is because of their contributions we were able to continue this effort. Many thanks to the members that are contributing now after this good news.
Please continue your support for this organization and be an integral member of this ever growing community, so that this journey can continue and we can end retrogression and have immigrationvoice as our voice.

Hello guys,
Sorry for this non-immigration related post. We have this sudden, tragic situation that I wanted all of your advice on. Thank you for your time in reading this long post.
We had hired an Indian nanny in NJ who, we learnt after hiring her, is here on a tourist visa. We were paying her $350 per week cash, which is the standard rate around here for nannies (incl. citizens and people on GC). We had liked her when we met her in response to an ad on Sulekha, and we thought an Indian nanny would be good for our first child. She has been with us for about 3 months, and we were intermittently not getting a good feeling with her for some reason. We finally bought a small security camera and installed it yesterday. On the very first day with the camera, we came home and saw the recorded video to find that she is violently hitting the baby on two separate occasions. Needless to say, it has shocked, angered and extremely saddened us. I showed the video to a couple of friends and even they say it is unbearable to watch. This was just the first day of recording and it pains us tremendously to think what all may have happened previously.
She is of course not going to stay with the baby alone anymore, but I want to know what legal options I have to penalize her to the fullest extent, so that she does not do this to anybody else�s small babies. She it seems had come here last year and taken care of someone else�s baby in Hoboken, and I can imagine that their baby also went through this. (This woman and her husband are a ~ 35 year old couple, who have a multiple entry ten year tourist visa; both come here for 6 months every year and work odd jobs like this. They apparently got a (unsponsored) tourist visa after showing a lot of landed property in India).
I specifically want to know if I will have potential problems if I go to law enforcement about this- regarding have employed her (both of us are on H1B visas). I know we have made mistakes and should have done better due diligence in this, and there cannot be any more punishment for us than seeing our 8 month old � who cannot tell us about it when we come home- being beaten on the tapes. We saw this yesterday and have not told her yet. We want to weigh all options before we proceed, but from today onwards one of us is home all the time till Friday. Any advice or opinion is sincerely appreciated. Thanks for reading this long post. And, to all who are thinking of nannies or have one, please learn from our mistakes and closely monitor your child�s safety every day.
As a parent of a 6 month old I can imagine what you are feeling. At the sametime given the circumstances I would not recommend you considering any legal action. Given the fact that you are aware that she is illegally working and that you were paying her cash weekly etc will only create trouble for you. I realize its hard for you to let this go considering its your own little baby but in the long run it will help you and your family. Kick the lady out of the house and tell her if you ever see her around your neighborhood you will have her arrested for assault.

Why does his profile have same date for everthying .............
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/member.php?u=18915
I don't think one's profile has anything to do with one's posting. May be he did not want to share his profile. In any case, if someone puts a believable profile, but posts some fake story, does that make the post a genuine one?
Ching is posting just what he experienced at the CIS office. Having said that, I am not saying what he posted has absolute truth to it. But on the otherhand, the way CIS does things, would anyone be surprised? With all the past experience we have had with CIS and DOS, anything is quite possible. Yeah, now it's not only frustrating to deal with CIS's ways of working, but also even more frustrating when we encounter posts like this whether they are true or not...

This got me 3 more reds
If this is the reception a perfectly good point like mine gets, then it certainly doesn't reflect well. To let you know, I have just contributed $100, so reserve your reds for the other guys contributing sweet talks and 0 $$$. And if you have given me red and not contributed, then you are the real A$$#073 here
I request members to quit being childish and engage in sincere discussions

Granted Native Americans were here first but at that time America was just a land inhabited by people and it was not a nation. A nation is defined as having the following characteristics (These are UN definitions)
1. Has space or territory which has internationally recognized .
2. Has people who live there on an ongoing basis.
3. Has economic activity and an organized economy. A country regulates foreign and domestic trade and issues money.
4. Has the power of social engineering, such as education.
5. Has a transportation system for moving goods and people.
6. Has a government which provides public services and police power.
7. Has sovereignty. No other State should have power over the country's territory.
8. Has external recognition. A country has been "voted into the club" by other countries.
So America was never a nation before it became America.
Regarding you second point about Columbus, Christopher Columbus was not here look for a promised land, he and other pioneers were here to find trading opportunities. Get your history straight, India was known for Spices and Gold at that time and the pioneer wanted a piece of it. Now India has nothing to offer, other then a piece of its humongous population.
Regarding your points about, starting a company, I have already answered them before
Perhaps, we could ignore you. Perhaps we could ignore your ignorance. Perhaps I could abuse you like you did. Perhaps. But I wont. Because I feel sorry.Perhaps you've been a loser your whole life and need to blame someone for your hard knocks in life. But that isn't the point. Perhaps you've forgotten, that the original Native Americans are called 'Indians' for a reason, because a certain Chris Columbus lost his way(he was no Pilgrim believe me)...while trying to find the 'then' promised land!. . Perhaps you've forgotten that 6 out of every 10 companies started in the last 15 years was by an immigrant. Perhaps you've forgotten that the Governor of the most wealthy State in the Union is an immigrant..... I could, perhaps go on...but I wont. Because I have to thank you. Thank you for stirring us up. Thank you for motivating us to action. Stirring up those of us who have been in a deep slumber.....we'll prove that we do matter and that we DO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.
Thanks brother.:)

Whether i am a minority and whether i am a majority does not make any difference.
If you want legal speak then ...
Giving GC to STEM graduates is not the right way. If US needs to keep these educated people in US then US needs to make sure these educated people get an H1B without any issues and then they are on the path to GC like everyone else because H1B is a dual intenet visa. Jumping from a F1 visa to a GC visa is not correct as F1 visa is not a immigration intenet visa
If you want plain speak then ...
Why should STEM graduates have it easy when a H1B has to struggle and wait in liner to get a GC.
I would agree to this only is the requirement is made so that only PHD and scientist who have atleats acouple of research papers published be given GC and not every Tom, Dick and harry who completes 4 years engg degree in india from a 2 bit university and whose parents have money and uses this money to pay for 2 years MS.
People who are going to benefit by this will support this. Others oppose.
I believe you belong to latter.
One thing to remember is this provision helps STEM grads irrespective of their EB-class.
legal speak: right now law does exist. F1 to GC would be illegal. This provision is to make the conversion legal
plain speak: look beyond your own situation. Since you are not going to benefit directly, does not mean you stand against it.
Lastly, everybody's parents don't have so much money like you think. People do get 13% student loans in India to fund their studies.

I can't wait till we see the results of this initiative. Having a source (website, tool, whatever) that tells me how many people are in line ahead of me, and is refreshed on a periodic (monthly as new bulletins come out) basis will take a lot of the guesswork and day dreaming out of this.
A lot of us are in this mess for the long haul. A clear picture, even if it doesn't make the dates move any faster will ease a lot of anxiety and frustration. Atleast for me, it will.
If you're sitting on your ass thinking that there are other people contributing and their contributions alone will help meet the goal, you are wrong, most people are thinking the same way.
The way I see it, if you don't contribute/act to solve problems that you face in life, you have no right to whine about them.
Be like me, contribute, and then whine all you want.

This is not about illegal immigration, this is bout how sheriff Joe uses the nativist sentiment of Arizona for his own political interest. I have been residing in sheriff Joe's jurisdiction for 5 years now and violent crime has gone up more than 60%. Response time to emergency calls is up drastically, and I have personal experience of that. There are 40,000 felony warrants pending on sheriff�s desk, and yet he takes his 50 deputies for so called illegal immigration sweep, which contributes only fraction of a percent to the number of deported illegals from Maricopa County. He has been absolutely successful in creating an anti illegal image that keeps him in his seat for years.
Exactly. Crime has gone up primarily bcoz of illegals.
Sherrif is trying his best but the DHS is hell bent in taking away his powers.
