For EB3 Folks with PD's in early - 2003- there are close to 8742 applicants in front of you That is a wait of 5 more years.
For EB3 Folks with PD's in mid 2003 and later - There are 14583 applicants in line before you- That is a wait of 10-12 more years.
Now the only way forward will be to lobby with IV for a legislative fix. Apart from that there is just no option, the sooner people realise that and help IV with advocacy, the better results we will get.

I agree with you.. but number of members definetly adds to the IV clout.. also typically the number of active members are little over 50% of the total count..

Speaking for myself, I'm not seeing the value.
I see IV right now going off and tilting at windmills that will have little effect. Stuff like the I-485 without current PD for example, will serve to both alleviate the immediate issue of backlog, and make those responsible less likely to actually fix the problem, all while creating a permanent under-class of immigrants who will spend decades waiting for their permanent status.
So...when I see them advocating for things that will make a difference, I might consider contributing at that time.

good point ..I do invest in stocks / ETF's and funds ...but I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!! be diversified, invest in good companies (invest only pocket money/minor amount in very risky assets) and for the long term ..i.e. you should not need that money during emergencies ..STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!! and if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
>> ... I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!!
Depends on lot of factors. I have been trading for last 10 years. I don't trade stocks. I trade index futures sp500 and Nasdaq mini. It is short term - couple of hours to maximum couple of days. Day Trading requires good analytical skills for technical charts and lot of discipline to follow enter and exit rules.
Taxes are computed differently for futures trading. You will need this IRS form (6781 Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles) to file your taxes for trading futures.
>> ... STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!!
I agree. They are mostly snake oil. I suggest - do some reading and follow some indicators and come up with Trading Strategy. It is recommended to do paper trading before starting trading with real money.
>> ... if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
Trading, of course, involves risks. I pick funds for my 401(k). So far it has been good. I was up last year 4.2%. Never had any losing year in 401(k).
There are many tools for technical charting. I use Ninja Trader since it allow to me define new indicators using c# (.net) language.
If anyone is interested, I put my daily charts here. Sorry, I can not disclose my indicators and I don't have anything to sell either.
I can share some trading books, if you are interested.
Disclaimer: Information use only and should not be constructed as an offer to buy or sell any securities. Trading is very risky and is not for everyone.

xyzgc,
I agree with your message that immigrants should clear their dues before they leave. I'm of the belief that, even if they complete 36 points in Social security when they leave, they should leave honorably without any dues/liabilities. That is the choice we made knowing the repercussions.
Having said that, the way you pursued your argument in the context of non-GC holders having a home is not correct, in my opinion.
Yes, I don't believe we have anything against each other except replying to each others posts! :D
And I don't want to get between you and masternyc! :-)
When you reply to me and use the word "you", it could be taken as personal instead of treating that as an impersonal pronoun!
"Make sure you pay off your mortgages if you do and cover all your liabilities" could have been rephrased as "Immigrants leaving MUST ensure that they pay off their mortgaes" with a strong emphasis on 'must'
Thanks,
GCisaDawg

Yes, the majority of approvals are from 2005. There's even one with a June 2005 PD. I can't understand why it has slowed down though.
yeah that sucks, but on the brighter side they are processing EB3 PD's for beg and mid 2005.

Total EB applications filed is only 300K(jul-aug 2007) does not fit in the above logic...
320K only applies to July VISA bulletin, It doesn't count June which is also significant.

When every one send individual letter, they will read the first one and then will just ignore others. Because the content and issue is same. When we 50+ people send one neatly drafted letter...I am sure it will draw considerable attention. Ron is willing to help us. I am not sure if we need to hire him for this. If so, how many of you ready to share the expense.
We have around 75 peope in this thread. If we every one puts in 50 to 100 dollars on an average per person.. It will be 5000 dollars to pay as a fee to Ron to help us with this cause. We can channel this fee through IV.

Here is what the attorney firm (one of the top ones in the nation) used by my company sent. They are trying to file all applications by July 1st week.
The fact that they are not dismissing this as a rumour means that they accept there is a "chance" however small that may be that the USCIS can stop accepting applications and they can do nothing about it at that point.
Yes in a way they are cushioning themselves, by sending out these client alerts, so that they are not held at fault if this may happen. But if there was absolutely no chance for this to happen they would certainly have dismissed it outright as a rumour.
---------------------------------
July Adjustment of Status Filings May Be At Risk
Recent rumors have called into question the accuracy of the Department of State's July 2007 Visa Bulletin, which announced that all employment-based categories, with the exception of the "Other Workers" category, will be "current" (i.e. immigrant visa numbers will be available) as of July 1, 2007. These rumors have suggested that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may potentially, notwithstanding the July Visa Bulletin, not accept adjustment of status filings for all, or a part, of July.
Fueling concern over this possibility is the fact that, during June, USCIS took the unprecedented step of refusing to accept adjustment applications in the third preference "Other Workers" category filed after June 6, even though the bulletin showed numbers available throughout the month. USCIS took this step evidently after receiving notice from the State Department, outside the visa bulletin process, that the available numbers had been exhausted. There are strong legal reasons supporting the argument that this action by USCIS was improper. Nevertheless, the fear is that USCIS will take a similar step with respect to all or some employment-based adjustment of status filings made during July.
The widespread belief among immigration experts is that, even if USCIS accepts all employment-based adjustment of status cases sent for filing in July, there will quickly be another rapid retrogression of immigrant visa availability. This would result in potentially many thousands of newly-filed adjustment cases remaining at USCIS for quite some time while applicants wait for the immigrant visa numbers to again become current.
Obviously, a decision by USCIS not to accept adjustment of status applications for some or all employment-based categories during all or part of July would be a devastating development for companies and foreign national employees who have relied on the July Visa Bulletin and are preparing to file adjustments. Many organizations, including ***** and the Global Personnel Alliance, are working to determine the true position of USCIS and the Department of State on this issue and to advocate for USCIS to accept all adjustments filed during the entire month of July in accordance with the July Visa Bulletin. We will send an update when definitive information is available.

...just keep the positive momentum going....call, e-mail, visit friends...ask them to sign up & contribute.
Believe me, if people do not contribute when they know you personally and when they themselves stand to benefit, do you think they will contribute freaking alms?
Maybe this has been discussed earlier but I was wondering if we can extend our funding champaign beyond the conventional website.
How about setting up booths/tents/tables(what the heck) at local temples(or any places of worship where we know immigrant community would visit) in the area on the weekends. This way we can educate fellow immigrants about immigrationvoice and try to get contributions.
It might sound stupid but what I want to ask is , Is it legal for a Nonprofit org to do this ? By this I mean promote IV and collect contributions in the way I described above ?

If you want to pick an event close to you and get a few MI IV'ans participate that would be great. We will be happy to make you guys part of Team IV and send you T-Shirts to wear at these events.
IV Professional Network is a great idea. Count me in.
Would've joined Team IV too. But distance is a factor stopping me. I can't participate in any of the marathons listed. My moral support is with you guys.
