As far as IV core/leadership is concerned, IV has standard "Talking Points" which were given to volunteers for "Meet the law-makers" event during DC Rally. Also there is a decent FAQ and guide on Lawmaker meetings. You can try to arrange a weekend conference call with IV core ( paskal or pappu) too. Chintu25 (sam) has experience in this matter (he setup the last call)
Here's something from my end, to get the discussion started so that we have some concrete agenda for 10/20. It would also help participants to come ready with their ideas. It's also something we can do from our end, instead of waiting for leadership to come to our rescue!
1) Introductions - each member introduces himself/herself briefly, describes his/her GC journey, his/her concerns, expectations from IV and what could make them active participants in the grassroots movements, how can they contribute to IV in membership drive, meet the press, meet the lawmakers, funding etc.
Idea is to comeup with a SWAT anaylis. Identify our collective strengths, challenges and areas for improvement.
Here are somethings that can be planned
a) If someone has good media contacts, he/she can setup meetings with news reporter, others with compelling stories like 6-7 years wait after applying GC, children aging out etc. can volunteer to talk on behalf of IV.
b) If someone has contact with Senators, Congressmen etc. they can be pivotal in setting up meetings. A person with strong communication skills and marketing skills can volunteer to present the facts and sell our case in the meetings. It's very important that whoever presents our case does it effectively as our case needs a hardsell
c) Guys who volunteer/have contacts at temples, mosques, churches, gurudwaras, schools, colleges, libraries etc. can pull strings to get us space in the announcement boards. Others can print out the material and actually go and post those flyers at the designated places.
.... and so on. By sharing work we can share the burden and achieve more than what's possible acting individually. It's important that we know each other to comeup with such ideas for collaboration
2) Publicity Campaign/Membership Drive - I need not stress the importance of these. Here's something we need to do at the meetings
a) Divide the areas between members. This will avoid duplication, redundancy [ two members posting at the same grocery store etc.].
Somebody please get a MI map! We will mark area for each member to cover. We will know which areas are well-served and under-served. Volunteers from Well-served areas can adopt some of the nearby under-served areas. Or we call give a holler here say - " we need someone from Armada"
b) Set concrete weekly/monthly targets for each member like I will do 5 groceries which are ABC,XYZ, ... next weekend. As each volunteer meets the target, he/she reports to the publicity campaign co-ordinator (yes, we need a co-ordinator too!). Data is compiled and presented month-end ( yahoo groups, teleconferencing) so we know if we met our self-targets - how much's done, how much remains to be done, why some targets were missed, lessons learnt, how to avoid next time etc.
3) Real Grassroots campaign - Lawmaker meetings need not only target Congressmen/women. Remember, the letter Gov. Schwarnegger and 13 others wrote to US Congress? Governors and local politicians can influence too.
We can target local politicians - state senators, Governor etc. We can try to persuade them to write letters to Congressmen/women supporting our cause. Congressmen/women do depend on these local politicians to win the elections. If they write letters it will carry more wait than our letters, they also may be easier to persuade with our contacts than top-tier politicians like Senators. Instead of concentrating at the top, we can try the 'bottom up' approach in-addition to 'Meet Congressmen' campaigns.
Some plans can be drawnup during the meeting. Again we need to set targets, monitor and analyze progress, come up with corrective action etc.
4) Funding Drive - Show me the money :)
We'll need to come out with a Contribution/Financial plan.
a) How each one of us contributing/plans to contribute to IV annually? We need to tally the figures to come up with State-level contributions which should be communicated with the IV core.
b) Financial targets/commitments need to be setup at IV national and state chaper levels. We cannot totally depend on IV core to run ads in local papers for e.g. If it takes $1000 for e.g. it may not be possible for one or two persons (the so-called leaders) to bear the whole burden, however if we can share it like $100 x 10 or $50 x 20 it help further our cause. TRANSPARENCY at local-level is a must to gain members confidence. So we need to budget, execute, spend and report the spending ( amongst contributors only, others please excuse)
c) It will also help setup the level-of-support that the State chapter, IV core can provide to members. In case help at USCIS HQ level, Ombudsman-level etc. are needed in his/her case a non-contributing member cannot expect the same service as a member contributing his/her mite to the campaigns.
The contributions need not only be financial. If someone's unable to contribute significantly financially, they should make it up by volunteering for other activity.
5) Identify the local Leadership Team - Since we are all volunteers here with full-time jobs, it's impossible for one person to handle the co-ordination, monitoring, reporting (to members and core) activities. A leadership team needs to be identified to share the burden.
Leaders need to understand that they are the public face of IV in Michigan. It's expected they take a lead in all local activities, and will be speaking to media, co-ordinating between IV core and chapter members. They need to be open to phone calls, and in a position to answer member queries on a timely fashion (otherwise members will lose faith in the local chapter and the movement will die)
Leadership team will publish a monthly action plan, targets, results of last month etc. complementing with IV national-level action items and plans.
6) Localized talking points to Senators - Since our Democratic Senators keep countering our cause with issues such as Workers (read American Workers protection) and Amnesty, we need to come up with solutions based on previous experience.
In addition to IV talking points, we can also talk about -
1) Protecting Workers by removing job-restrictions on Employer, Job-level, salary-level etc. to GC applicants. How this will help American workers too.
2) Impact of GC applicants immigrating to Windsor (Canada) on Michigan economy. Loss of state taxes, losses to grocery stores, electronic stores causing loss of jobs etc.
3) Michigan is facing a labor-crisis as most young people in MI are moving to greener pastures in search of better opportunities. This has resulted in jobs moving out of Michigan, reluctance of new businesses to enter MI etc. due to non-availabilty of local resources ( We can show some press reports to prove our point)
Only way to counter labor-attrition is to attract and retain Immigrant workers. Immigrant workers will only relocate and work in MI, if MI is perceived as an Immigrant-friendly state. Senators office can take the lead in positioning MI as an attractive destination for Immigrant labor. If successful this campaign can reverse job loss and reinvigorate Michigan economy.
I've posted my ideas to get the discussion started. Others, please share your ideas too.
....
Now lets start on the game plan.
We would need some help from our leaders here..... what are the crucial topics that shall be discussed, and who are the people in state that we should target?
I think, calling our senetors and possibly arranging a meeting with them would be on our top of the list. But lets meet and discuss first to decide what points shall be covered, and what shall be avoided....etc...

Immediate attention of Congress/Senate to increase GC visa numbers for Retrogressed/ALL countries needs to be set first priority in Lame Duck or new congress sessions...and we/IV have to work towords that..
CIR is a good vehicle to piggyback on, and I realize it is better to bank on a bill that is already introduced.
However it seems like asking for increase in visa numbers, or just the ability to file I-485....What does this mean - automatically it would require increase in visa numbers, and reduction in name check times, for example.
Dependents can wait to work if it is only a year. We dont need to keep renewing visas. We are not stuck to one employer.

I dont know about others but for me Fragomen has been very responsive. I think its probably your employer that is dictating how the attorney should deal with their employees. I work for a big fortune 50 company and I always got email responses from my fragomen attorney within 24 hours...that works for me.
Some times employers dont want their employees to get eads too soon, as they might jump the ship using ac21, and hence takes the help attorney to delay the filing, which works well for some attorneys too.
my 2cents.

Right now we dont know what happened but it will be months before anything comes out.
Also overall safety record of AF is now pathetic, blame it on weather or something else.
1990s: 3 Fatal accidents
2000s:
2000: AF concorde crashes in Paris on takeoff, all 109 onboard killed. Cause Tire burst due a metal plate that fell from previous plane taking off, the tire burst hit the petrol tanks under the wings and burst them.
2005: AF A340 (aircraft type with no prior incident) overruns runway in Toronto and pilot is blamed for error.
2009: AF A330 disappears mid air.
Total fatal accidents in 20 years = 6
Last fatal accident on Air India was Kanishka bombing in 1985.
Indian Airlines had most notorious record from 1980 - 1993. However, there are no fatal incidents since 1993 on Indian Airlines
and all of us hate Air India and Indian Airlines for safety record. Until recently they both flew really old planes.

If you are employed in IT field, as far as I know federal skilled workers and AINP H1b stream are almost blocked except for managers. Canada immigration program has a list of occupation category; if you work in one of the listed classification then you can apply for PR. About an year back federal skilled worker deleted all computer related classification but managers. In May 2009, AINP did the same and now only IT managers are eligible.
If you are employed in non-IT category, you may still be eligible.
But AINP looks "little" better when compared to other immigration programs.

There is no single source. There are lot of sites dedicated to quotes. I did not record them. I have been pulling them on demand.
Each site is organized differently and may not have all martin luther king quotes, for example.
I could not find a good search criteria for these sites. A minor change will result in a new set of sites.
The quotes have a had a profound permanent effect on me. Most of the times the effect completes one week after I have posted the quote although I always think that I understood it when I posted it.
The quotes coonect based on what is in your head. So these quotes connect with me and with other persons with similar head.

Well majority of the people on this thread and forum is finding this as just cause, I am totally for it.
However no one is sure if this logic will hold water. Well none of us are lawyers, thus our arguments for or against doesn't hold. Someone said at the start of this thread that let's consult some big lawyers.
People are ready to contribute (including me) and I personally think that IV Core will be the best forum to take this up with lawyers. They already have an existing network, have folks that have participated in efforts related to legal immigration,
To IV Core
--------------
Country Quota is single biggest reason for retrogression, Have you guys (in the past) discussed with lawyers if removing Country Quota for EMPLOYMENT BASED can be legally challenged ??
If this has not been discussed do you guys think some one from lawyer forum (one that is on IV) can research on this ??
If above research shows things can be challenged then let's get it challenged through some esteemed lawyers !!
Also since so many people (once again including me) are ready to contribute, IV can become forum to raise money for this Legal challenge...like another pool.
I am sure people have talked, discussed about removing country quota in the past. However I am not sure if serious effort have been made to see if this can be challenged and that is the focus we all should have.

I cannot believe that after everything that's happened over the last year or so, out of how many thousands of members of this group - just 199 of us called??
What are we doing as a group of people? Is it such a wonder that this country isn't moving on our immigration woes when we ourselves won't pick up the phone and talk to somebody about our troubles?
Wow-talk about complete and total apathy....I'm ashamed on behalf of each and every one those people who think they'll let someone else solve their problems - in which case I hope they don't ever complain about their lot in life. They have no right to.
Absolutely shameful...
If this is the level of participation we cannot and should not expect any thing. Just think about this there are a lot of anti's out there and they can and will vote. to offset that the volume of calls from us the non voters has to be substantially large. I called got my wife to call and a couple of friends I will try and talk to all my friends in TX to call as well. But that will just no cut it unless all of these 24000 so called members (I do not consider passive readers members.) will call and get all of their friends to call. I promise you when we get that level of participation whoever be the president, whomever hold the majority in House and / or senate our bills will be brought on the floor will be voted on, and will be signed by the president!!!
But until we do not have participation our voice will be small and nothing will be done. And we will keep on waiting forever...
Now go ahead and give me red dots. but my only request is please call and get your Husbands/Wifes/GF/BF to call. I will be happy with red dots if you at least call.

IV is more than a website. We are trying to build a grassroots organization. Things are taking place offline as well.
It takes time to build the base. Strengthening the state chapters is one of the best thing we can do. Our first chapter meeting was very small as well but we will build from there. More members are forthcoming to meet lawmakers now.

Hi Guys,
I was looking at the AP renewal instructions. It says:
1. If you are in the United States, you must attach:
a. A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in the United States; and
b. An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application;
d. If you are traveling to Canada to apply for an immigrant visa, a copy of the U.S. consular appointment letter.
So what I gather from this is that they need:
a) Our H1B status papers and the previous copies of the advanced parole documents.
b) A letter stating why we need the advanced parole.
c) The I-485 receipt copies.
Now it DOES NOT say anything about the photographs if you are filing within the US.
Can someone who has applied for the Advanced Parole (NOT the EAD), please share their experience and what documents are needed. The EAD filing seems to be elaborately covered.
Thanks.
Just I485:
Isn't just I485 receipt enough -
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application
( (a) AND (b) ) OR (c)
+ Photographs:
...or if you are in the United States and filing for advance parole document.
You must submit two identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of the filing of this application.
(Photo spec on page 5 of http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf)
Alongwith I131 and US$305
Note: When I filed EAD, I didn't do over documentation (refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737). In case of AP also overdocumentation should not be required.
I was looking at the AP renewal instructions. It says:
1. If you are in the United States, you must attach:
a. A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in the United States; and
b. An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application;
d. If you are traveling to Canada to apply for an immigrant visa, a copy of the U.S. consular appointment letter.
So what I gather from this is that they need:
a) Our H1B status papers and the previous copies of the advanced parole documents.
b) A letter stating why we need the advanced parole.
c) The I-485 receipt copies.
Now it DOES NOT say anything about the photographs if you are filing within the US.
Can someone who has applied for the Advanced Parole (NOT the EAD), please share their experience and what documents are needed. The EAD filing seems to be elaborately covered.
Thanks.

Hi all, this is the new ID of bigtime007. As many has noticed, I was banned for the following reason:
You have been banned for the following reason:
Disruptive posts
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
After thinking about it, I feel very very sorry for disrupting the cheerful atmosphere on this forum. It is time for champagne, not complaints. This should be a place to congratulate and applaud IV's achievements, instead of that to express one's own frustrations. People with 07 PD has the privilege to cheer when they cut in front of us, but we should not feel sad for being pushed back because it is a disruptive behavior.
Please do not list what you have done to add items in the legislation to help BEC victims, it does not look genuine any more when it is considered disruptive to express one's depression on a board specially for BEC victims.
This will be my last post, as I am sure they will ban both my ID and IP. For everyone who still reads my post, Good luck!

Look at last paragraph
We will be working very hard to try to get some meaningful H and EB relief next week during the potentially short "lame duck" session. It is not yet clear whether Congress will actually try to pass any appropriations bills or whether they will merely pass a "continuing resolution" and leave the legislating until 2007. We will keep you posted.
