I would again emphasize on my previous post. One step at a time, one swift ruling for all waiting for long time in queue.
Remember, this is not 0-sum game or targeting a small group. In a queue you are closer to the target as people in front of you move.
Do get with people around you who are having same issues, organize local groups, communicate with your local authorities & media and make it an issue.

It was a wonderful experience for me and my wife to meet with the congressmen. Most of them were straightforward and would say whether they agree or disagree with you. The need to differentiate our cause and clearly communicate our agenda became very obvious in the meetings. We need to continuously reinforce the points.
IV did an excellent job organizing the meetings and made it so easy for people like us to participate and contribute to the cause.
From my own experience i can say that taking concrete steps reduces the anxiety of uncertainty, whatever maybe the eventual outcome. That in itself is a reason enough to act.
As i said earlier we need to continuously reinforce our points to the congressmen. Those who missed this opportunity to reduce their anxiety would definitely have more opportunities coming their way in the future.

I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

Yes Needhelp, just like EB3 to EB2 you can port from 5K to Half or Full Marathon but as Santb1975 said, only if the marathon and full marathon have not reached registration max of 18,000. They estimate this max will be reached by August this year.
I will get the Team IV Membership Form to you this evening!!

Immigration Voice is proud to announce the launch of Team IV, the walking/running club of Immigration Voice.
The goal of Team IV is to raise awareness about the issues faced by highly skilled legal immigrants in the communities we live in and garner support from fellow Legal Immigrants and US Citizens to further IV’s cause.
Team IV
The Walking/Running Club of Immigration Voice
See the list of Current Team IV Members (Updated 7/1/08): http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=259354&postcount=416
Mission
Team IV is the walking/running club of Immigration Voice. Team IV’s Mission is to raise awareness for the issues faced by Legal Immigrants and to promote a sense of community by participation in walking/running events throughout the U.S.
Team IV’s goal is to have over 150 members and raise at least $45,000 to support Immigration Voice and help prevent childhood obesity in the United States.
Join Team IV
Team IV members will be working towards accomplishing the following goals:
1. Raise awareness of Immigration Voice within our local communities and on a national stage.
2. Accomplish personal goals of walking/running short to long distance walks/runs and lead a healthy lifestyle.
3. Build a professional network of Team IV members across the country.
4. Support fundraising efforts of Immigration Voice for future lobbying efforts.
5. Help fight childhood obesity by partnering with a not for profit organization The Alliance For A Healthier Generation whose mission is to prevent childhood obesity in the United States.
Team IV Benefits
Team IV members will receive tips and guidance from Personal Trainers via the Team IV Blog site at http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/. Team IV members will also get a T Shirt and fundraising ideas/materials to reach their pledge goals.
Check out our Blog: http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/ (Also look for Tips of the Day on this blog from your Team Captain)
Team IV is not an individual event! We strongly encourage family members to join us, which is why we have two membership types: Individual and Family. The Individual Membership has an annual fee of $50 while the Family Membership has a $75 yearly fee. The Fundraising goal of the Individual Membership is $300/member per year, while that of the Family Membership is $500 per Family per year. These very nominal fundraising goals can be reached by one of more fundraising initiatives done by individual members or working together in small groups.
Team IV Events
Each Team IV Member will pledge to participate in at least one of the following three events. Participation includes walking, jogging or running any distance at one of the three Team IV events listed below. Team IV Members are responsible for registration at these events.
Golden Gate Park Cross Country 5K – San Francisco – August 17, 2008
Rediscovery 10K and 1 mile - Washington DC - October 19, 2008
Houston Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K – January 18, 2009
How To Join Team IV.
In Order to join Team IV, please send an e-mail to TeamIV@yahoo.com or send a Private Message to NolaIndian32 at www.ImmigrationVoice.org to receive a Membership Form. The Membership Form will be e-mailed to you.

Everybody, please calm down. I don't know what the intention of this thread was, but if it is to increase the participation to achieve IV's goals, then I am sure you all realize it is having the exact opposite affect. The only thing happening on this thread is donors and non-donors going at each other in a way of unbecoming of us professionals.
I am sure we can agree to disagree with respect. Think about some of the messages written and you wonder would it be really said if they were facing the person.
I personally don't think bitzbyte is or was berating IV's efforts. All he/she needs is more convincing. And I don't think he/she is alone. If that was the case then we would be having 49000 members donating and the advocacy effort would be a grand success and we would be having millions for lobbying. The fact is that there are more like bitzbyte than the donors. I am not sure where the problem is but there sure is. Heck, I am donor and I don't find myself talking about IV or hearing about IV from colleagues or friends. Everybody has their priorities set and the daily grind to go through. Getting a GC may not be everyone's ultimate goal. There was a time I used to be so obsessed with GC that my whole life seemed to be revolving around bulletins and the disappointment of backlogs. One day I said enough is enough and stopped worrying about it.
But I realized that the question is not about whether and when I get GC, but is it fair, to you and your family, to go through years of this agony. It is not fair and we have to do something about it.
As much as everybody needs IV to address their needs, IV needs them to achieve our collective goals. Lets think about ways to increase participation rather than marginalizing those that don't yet believe.

I met pappu for the first time at the reception registration, and someone had to point out to me that it was him heeeee. Honored to meet you!
pdakwala, you are the best, you were the one who called me and tried to get AA to waive the change fees for me, and I had really looked forward to meeting you. It is plainly evident that you guys really care about your members.
Paskal, I had seen your picture before, so I knew it was you. You made us walk all the way back to the starting point by which time all the cleanup was already done!
MACACA IS REALLY MY CHACHA NOW :) I couldn't stop shouting MACACA randomly. I think I even shouted PAPPU out of dhiren's car.
Aman, I couldn't believe how everyone was approaching him for all the pettiest of things (including myself) and he always obliged.
LogicLife is too proud.. he didn't take the rose I offered him during the rally. I don't want to have anything to do with him now!!

Don't stress out too much!!! Sleep calmly till dawn and believe me next morning will be more rewarding.
There is one thing which all of us can do and I belive it will be more effective than a rally(And certainly will cost less).
all we need to do is spread the problems we are facing whenever we buy high value goods like cars or homes. tell the dealer / broker / edu instituitions ..I would have closed the deal if I had a green card ..so the next time congress takes up this bill ..there would be more support for increased legal visas ...unfortunately many of us are selfish ,...we just run and buy houses as soon as we get EADs

I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Best wishes!
I think we need to grab the the opportunity for this "Diversity Lottery Bill" and keep it alive and on forefront. If this happens, it will be a boon for EB category.
If you are not already in, you can make a team from people from the group "Want to file I 485 thread" so that we can have a team of 20-30 dedicated people doing the same advocacy what you two guys are doing.

When USCIS has so many I-485 applications, they will have to sort them in the order of PD. Your PD is older and you will have your GC first. However, its unpredictable when you will be able to file I-485.
They will be opening up dates slowly in the Visa bulletin going forward. However, they would open up 2003 PD before they reach PD 2007. You will be able to I-485 then and will have GC before someone whose PD is in 2007.
message from IV
Despite the offensive posts and badmouthing on IV site and other sites we are keeping everyone in mind when working on our lobbying effort. We had posted messages in the past about this too. IV does not advice any flower campaign etc without consulting with us. Any wrong move can potentially hurt the interest of this community and the advocacy work we are doing. Please stop posting offensive messages and stop fighting with other members of the community.
=======================
Message from IV for BEC victims
We are aware of the issue and if there is any acion item, we will post it.
also be aware of what we posted earlier on this issue:

=========================
=========================
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
