Hi IV members!
I know many of us have been toying with ideas to increase membership. I wanted to start a separate thread just to highlight the following idea - Every member bring one additional member to IV.
Specifically, these are the bullet points I suggest:
1. By December 31, each of you bring one member to IV.
If you really think about it, it is not a difficult task. Every one of us knows atleast one person stuck in GC process, that is talking conservatively. It takes less than 15 minutes to call one person and explain IVs efforts and request his/her support.
2. By January 15, each of us take responsibility to get the member we brought to IV to contribute to the cause. And I am not suggesting any particular amount.
3. Each of take responsibility in having them update their information on IV website, so that when the need arises, they can be contacted (for sending webfaxes etc. like last week).
Also, whenever you bring someone to IV, please post on this thread (it will encourage others). I feel this approach will work, if we keep this thread alive, and try to stick to the time deadline (deadlines might not have worked before, because they were too long term).
Also, please keep this thread on track, without any other discussions.
So IV'ers, lets add ONE member, and get ONE contribution!!!!
Thank you.

If you have not helped bring atleast one member to this forum, stop. Make that call right now, help a friend register, explain and make them aware.
This is the homework before the holidays.

We picked a local event in So.Cal that you can participate in as well
Great initiative and kudos to NolaIndian for making it happen!
I walked 12 miles yesterday. Today i feel the pain when i walk. Anyways, you can count me in for that part. I am not sure if i can commit myself to the SF event... I need some more time to make up my mind.

It was great to attach faces to the IV handles...
I walked into situation room on Sunday night at 9 and was thrilled to find almost 30 - 40 ppl working hard on the preparations for the lobby day on monday. It was great to meet aman, paskal, pappu, logiclife, gsc999, nixstor, arun,..... (list is too long:D)
Soon I and mark teamed up to do the preps for the lobby day meetings. Monday was fun, with all the meetings with lawmakers with barely any time in between meetings - we were literally on the run, hopped on to taxi to save time and walk!! It was a chilling feeling when couple of times ppl on the hallway of Rayburn/Cannon stopped us and asked "R U lobbyist?":D
Dinner was a great. Hats of to Anu and Meenal for the menu... It was nice that we got the food all the way to situation room, so that we can have another go at it!!! Speeches by fellow IV-ers, lawyers and lawmakers at the dinner really primed us with lots of energy for rally on Tuesday. Ofcoz the wine helped too:D:D
The rally was just great. Even though I didn't have my breakfast, the energy of the people around me kept me going or was it the wine...
I had an opportunity to meet a great bunch of folks focussed on a common goal. After meeting 6 lawmakers and seeing the enthusiastic members who drive this organization. I am confident success is around the corner:D

I agree as well
Projecting her as our champion is a BAD STRATEGY at this point. It's not like she is emotionally very upset about our situation. As a Congresswoman and the chair of Immig subcmt she is investigating irregularities and wrongdoings at the federal govt. She also probably thinks immigrants have been treated unfairly.
We shouldn't make her the target of anti-immigrationists; could hurt her, and hurt us.

Guys, this is the time to show the core group that we are a bunch of people thankful that there is IV to help us fight this fight.
We need to stand united and raise awareness and sign up for the monthly recurring contribution.
I understand that some of you do intend to contribute and have contributed generously in the past,
But here are some mindsets, All of us fall in these 4 mindsets.
1) you probably think "why should I sign up for a monthly recurring contribution program". I am a generous contributor and I contribute almost monthly anyways.
2) I have contributed enough.
3) I will contribute if I feel like, when I see something comming out of this effort.
4) I do not have to contribute.
If you are in category 1).I can tell you, I understand because I have been a generous contributer in the past. But guys, the reason I signed up for a monthly recurring contribution is that it helps IV know that 'X' amount of funds are guaranted every month, this way they can better plan.
Category 2) Contributed enough - Okay why dont just sign up for a minimum amount of $20/month once more. What is enough is not enough.
Category 3) This has been discussed, I do not want to talk about this category of members.
Category 4) Again - No Comments-
Lets show the core team that all of us fall in the first 2 categories.
The last thing we want the core to do is bite their fingers over funds. We do not want the core to get stressed out over funds. They have enough real work to do already.
Inspite of being a serious team player, and a generous contributor it took me two days to sign up for the recurring monthly contribution program, so I give all of the ones that have not set up a monthly recurring contribution benefit of doubt. But this is our last chance, I urge you to be one of the 1000 people we need for this effort.
Need 897 members
good job guys we now need 888 members. So 9 more members stepped up in the last 2 hours. We can do better. Can 100 more members step up in the next 2 hours?

I just thought to give a nick name to this thread ...
AMC : Add a Member Campaign. Just bumping up this thread.. I like this idea, it will serve all of our purpose.
Add one more member....and probably each one of them will add another? It will be a bigger team of us if we can kick this idea to work ..and then I am hopeful we will be heard :-)
Yes, I thought of that(a chain reaction sort of) too. But wanted to keep it simple. But we could probably do that on the side without affecting the original campaign.
May be we should own responsibility of the candidate we bring. Make sure that he contributes, then make sure that he submits the right contact info, and finally make sure he does the same (follow AMC bullet points).
I like the idea of an abbreviation.
Everyone please contribute ONE member by December 31st.

I e-filed my EAD and send documents.
E-filed on- 04/14/10
Documents received by USCIS and LUD on 04/16/10
LUD on 04/19/10
LUD on 04/20/10
So, on and after documents were received by USCIS, I had received 3 LUDs. Is this normal? Has it happened to someone else who e-filed. Mine is at NSC.
Thanks.

Hi folks, good to see great moment in IV with regards to advocacy efforts. I still remember the day I attended the rally in DC conducted by IV. I cant forget the crowd. Amazing.
Update on me - r2id in feb. Joined the new job. Enjoying every bit of it. Initial challenges as expected in settling down. But slowly things are moving. Got admission in school for kids, took an apt for rent etc. Just wanted to stop by and congratulate everyone in IV on the advocacy efforts.
GO IV..ians..This is the year we got the world cup. This could be the year where we get through to the lawmakers and make them understand the agony of so many families waiting in limbo in the GC queue. All the best.
Chaya, We are going back to India on personal choice. My manager here knows very clearly that I cannot take up promotions and the HR does not want to do eb3-->eb2 conversion. So, I took up this crap for a while, and decided to put an end to this misery once and for all. And fortunately the same company is offering me a job in India at a good designation with good compensation. Also, we were missing out (esp my kids) were missing out lot of things happening in India, which they want to be a part of. Original idea was to stay in US for 10 years and go, only difference is now, we did spend that 10 years but still dont have our GC. Another important thing that we considered was , it becomes more difficult to take this decision when we have GC in hand because, as much as it helps to stay in US, it avoids us from leaving US too, and to wait for citizenship is another 5 years from that point, which could all take easily 6 years to the minimum from today. Thats why we wanted to make it easy on us, and do this now.
Looking back, would I re-do this GC process one more time - no, but am I happy to be a part of IV - you bet I am. Thats the bottom line.

I got my PP renewed from DC in 7 busines days. Got it back in express mail.
However, the Surname now has only my last name. And the given name contains both my first and middle name.
In my old passport, the surename had both last and middle name while given name had only first name.
Is this a problem? Does anyone here know? I plan to get my h1b visa stamped in India.
thanks.

USCIS has to accept applications for first few days. Then they have to go through all the application to determine the number based on the country. Then they will send the number to DOS who will decide the dates of next bulletien.
It's not like USCIS will say "Oh I got 300,000 applications today, let's close the door..." It does not work that way.
I understand that you are only trying to say what your lawyer told you. But, don't try to make it sensational topic by saying "Horrible news" and all. We are anyways stressed out from the process and on top of it this rumor comes up in every other thread. :(

Thanks for the responses. Should we submit the original medical report or copy is fine?
The doctor will give you two reports. One open envelope for your records and Another sealed envelope for USCIS.
You should not open the Sealed envelope and this sealed envelope should be submitted as is when you are applying for your 485.
