April Contributions

[Caliber]

Dear All,

Let us strive to achieve 10,000.00 contributions this month too. I request every one to please understand that either we get our GC's this year or forget for another two years due to mid term elections next year.

If we can pool really good amount, we may at least be able to lobby USCIS for some relief though with these small contributions, we may NEVER be able to lobby the congress.

We do not need to tell IV core what we want, they are all aware of our goals. But small contributions like 50-100 may not be enough to lobby to convince Congress our great contributions.

I am EB3 Oct 2002. Just received letter from SSN that, I have 40 credits now. We still can not even estimate when we will get GC's. In few months or few years?

If we think of 200 or 300 dollars, we may have to continue to suffer like this.

Can we determine to pool in at least 200,000.00 (each to contribute at least 300 dollars) so that we can at least hope for GC in few months and not years.

Please help yourself.

My contribution for April:
Donation to Support Immigration Voice (User: Caliber)
$50.00 USD for one month
Effective Date: Apr. 1, 2009 $50.00 USD

[malibuguy007]

I agree we should keep the momentum going and achieve 10K this month as well.

My contribution of $25 Using the Donate Now button.

[Caliber]

Thanks a lot for your contribution Malibuguy.

[praveenuppaluri]

just send my $50 via paypal (donate now). $10K each month is definitely achievable. GO IV...

[amitga]

I donated $25 on Mar 30th, but still I do not have access to Donar forum. How do I become a Donar.

[Caliber]

Thanks a lot Praveen and Amit. Hope your action will motivate others too.

God bless you.

[malibuguy007]

We should try and get at least $500 today to get the momentum going.

I haven't applied for green card yet. Is IV only for GC purposes or it addresses other issues too which makes life of H1b holder hell?

[zen]

as of now, there is nothing ..it is just donate, donate and donate.
we don't even know why we are having new donation campaigns every month ... my favorite color is red ..so start giving me red's for being frank and speaking out the truth

[malibuguy007]

Zen, the point is very simple. If you believe in this organization and what it does then you will donate knowing that IV needs the money to lobby for you, me and everyone else who is part of the community.

Lobbying is a very sensitive issue and it is not always possible for the persons involved to give you daily updates. Rather disclosing too much before time can have the opposite effect with people interested in lobbying against our interest mobilizing more aggressively.

Also bills are introduced all the time and there is not always enough time to hold funding drives to lobby for and against those bills. Moreover lobbying with the congress and senate is an on going effort and will require resources anyways.

However if you feel you want to be in the thick of things and know everything that is going on, then I guess joining your state chapter and being an active member can help you get some additional info. I believe volunteering your time is a lot more useful for the community than only money and if you can do that, all the power to you. I for one try and make my contributions to help those guys who are taking the pains to do all the work which benefits all of us.

Not sure why you would generalize all H1b holders as experiencing hell - I for one did not. Anyways if you take the time to browse the forums you will find the answer to your question.

[qasleuth]

Do you want to apply for a GC in the future ? If yes, then aren;t you happy someone is paving a way for you ?

[kevin08]

This thread seems to be "donor only". Aren't we encouraging other IV visitors to contribute?

Why are trying to wake up folks who are pretending that they are sleeping?

Let them pretend.

This was the same guy who said FOIA can be hung on wall like an art frame because he does not need the data. He does not care a rat's ass if you care about the data or not. When I mentioned that FOIA can also be used for making a presentation to the lawmakers on how deep the retrogression is, FOIA is ok and good. Because, it will possibly benefit him

Me! Me! Me! Me! Alllll ME!

Give me my GC IV! I will give you 25-50$ depending on my mood. What ever!

In his latest post he said he owns 8 houses in USA.

IV needs to come out with a action plan or tell what it intends to do with the donations. once they are more open, donations will flow. I know IV is non profit org but that does not mean that funds cannot be misused. (I need more red dots please :))

[heywhat]

Zen,

For FOIA donation .. IV had action plan and currently working on it ... did you contribute ? If you do not want to contribute, do not contribute .. why do you want to create un -necessary unrest in forum ?

Thanks,

P.S. I did not give you red ...

Malibuguy007 , you seem to me a guy who could save 2-3000 dollars per month and think you are in heaven(Typical GULTI mentality) . These are the points on basis of which i called life of H1 hell

1. Your spouse can't work . Think about their self esteem and self respect they are loosing.

2. You don't know about your future if tomorrow you loose your job , you will be kicked from this country.

Tell me what is hell then ? Don't think its just about counting dollars , think about your life stability and about your family members too. Try to come out of Sambhar-Rice world(thats the way you save money here and call US heaven). Live with pride ,ok . Fight for being treated like H1 ( HIGHLY SKILLED PROFESSIONAL) not slaves.
I hope now you feel we are in hell.

PS : I work with one of best semiconductor companies in world and earn decent salary .

All GULTIs , start giving me red and i don't give a** for that.

What the hell is wrong with you? Stop using Slurs. Eating Sambar Rice and curd rice does not make a life life with out pride.

Take your Slavery argument some where else. if you truely believe so, go to your masters on the hill and fight for abolishing slavery.

Not able to work does not directly cause loss of self esteem. Sorry to say this but this is the bitter truth. if you or your spouse's self esteem is so hurt because of the inability to work, fight for it and get H-4's the ability to work. Some thing like Lily ledbetter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilly_Ledbetter_Fair_Pay_Act) did. Previoulsy time under H4 was counted for h! as well. Many people worked on it and after years of such work time on H4 is not counted against 6 years of H1B. be the torch bearer, just dont throw out your frustration. Just blaming that it hurts my self esteem does not win brownie points.

You and Zen dont deserve reds. You guys are beyond red reds. So I will not give you a red so that your self esteem does not go down further.

Just because you work for the largest semi conductor company does not make you any better than any one else. People have different life styles and they will choose what ever they want to eat or what ever they want to save. Some idiots from where ever you are might have bought 3 homes, So Shall I call you a meaningless/unscrupulous spending idiot? No, I guess you are smart enough and havent bought 3 homes.

H!B != SLAVERY

SLAVERY, YOU ARE NOT FREE. YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOUR MASTER AGREES TO DO SO

H1B: YOU ARE FREE TO DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT.

Stop that comparison that feeds the anti immigrants. If you want to fight join, If you want to rant go find .

So here come the thing. Thats why i asked in my original post is IV just for people who have applied for Green card ? I wanted to know if they could address these issues as well . Regarding inability to work and self esteem , just stay in home for few days and then feel how much you loose. Man , its 21st century and ability to work is basic right.

First of all, IV is a grass roots org. I guess I dont need to tell what grass roots is. That means every one has to be a foot soldier in an effort. I understand that your problem is not the same as majority of the members here have. Thanks to IV on the VB fiasco. IV is not a share holder company that will give you results every Q. If you want accountability, you can find how the money is being spent. I guess some one posted it here very recently. Its publicly available on the net.

Based on my understanding, I can easily tell that IV has more than a full plate and neither funds nor grass roots efforts (there are few people who do the actual work. there are a lot who ask whether IV will do this or that. I guess they think every one else does the work than themselves) to push for H4's ability to work.

Oh wait a sec! While I have no issues with it, there will be a severe backlash on adding new workers. Again this is not my view. what you will get to hear if you go on the hill. Such provisions can be pushed when the economy is better and on a bigger vehicle such as CIR. In these times, just try not to get hit by Grassley & Durbin who will impose restrictions on the SC company you are working for. Imagine that!

While I agree that inability to work is a bad thing, I respectfully disagree that it causes a loss of self esteem. It results in a loss of self esteem when you have the opportunity to work, but you become a couch potato eating cheese curls and watching who wants to be a millionaire. You are encumbered by a stupid visa rule but not physically/legally encumbered to break out of it.

Obviously there are other things that are balancing or overpowering your spouse's inability to work, other wise you would be in Singapore or Canada or UKor where ever spouses are allowed to work.

[Caliber]

PS : I work with one of best semiconductor companies in world and earn decent salary .
All GULTIs , start giving me red and i don't give a** for that.

I understand the pain of dependents. My son is also will be aging out.

Ability to work comes from EAD which would come from filing of 485. July 2007 filing was pushed mainly by IV and only then other organizations have pushed for it. I hope you are aware of this. 2 year EAD is IV's achievement.

All this happenned due to IV members and dedicated IV core. The president of this site IV is not a GULTI, but an Indian who donated about 60,000.00 US dollars. Yes, US $ 60K. He is also just like you and me. Never thought of divisions among immigrants: Neither Indian, Chinese, Philippines nor any origin. We have members from all over the world. The majority unfortunately is from India due to severe retrogression.

Had president of IV not donated 60,000.00, majority of us would still be struggling for spouse to work.

Please read IV's goals. Then you can comment whatever you want. Without funds, nothing can be moved. We have to lobby. That is the only option we have. IV core is also like you and me with normal jobs. They can not fly to DC every week or month for lobbying.

Please think before posting some thing.

I am not part of core, but have symtahies on them for doing a THANKLESS job for every one's good.

First of all learn to "conduct" yourself in public before working for the semi conductor industry. What is gulti mentality pls explain? Second of all you chose to come here with the constraints that were imposed on you, did you have the balls to question the immigration officer as to why your wife could not work? If you think this is hell my friend you are in for a rude surprise.
When you want answers for your question there is a method for asking it, pls follow that method and you will get your answers, there are more people willing to help here than you will find anywhere. Ranting about communities will get you no where, now apologize and ask your question, someone will answer.

Gulti mentality was something that guy(malibuguy) was talking about . Thats what i meant by Gulti mentality . I just started with a simple question "WHATS THE MOTIVATION FOR CONTRIBUTION(MONEY AS WELL AS TIME) FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR GC " !! Was that offensive ? I don't need answers for specific questions. I just need to know what IV is all about ? ? BTW, i have balls to ask anything to anybody if it makes sense(immigration officer is not making rules) .

Please do not misinterpret IV.
If tomorrow there is a bill to stop all H1B from coming to USA or to make life difficult for H1B, do you really think we will keep quiet just because we have filed our greencards?

Do you know IV worked hard for decoupling of H4 time from H1 in 2006 and we thought nothing may happen and started to focus on next action item. Then few months later it was changed. That was the first small step.

I would appreciate if you ask your spouse if she/he can volunteer time for IV. You both can get more involved. Send us an email if you are interested. We are always interested in people who can volunteer more time than us (We do full time jobs too. A couple of us also are enrolled in a part time degree program). We are willing to have such an H4 be a leader in IV.

IV is a platform that will allow you voice your plight. But you will need to come forward and be willing to actively work on it with others. If the strategy is right, you are committed and have right intentions there is no reason why IV will not help.

Best answer I have seen in a long time.:D

[jayZinDC]

Your motivation is very simple, lets say there are 10 people in line with one service counter, the service counter processes only 10 apps at a time, but if you are an Indian in line your time taken to process is longer. Now what are the solutions? We can speed the Indians in line by opening up new counters to service them, for that we need more money (aka contributions). Now 2 people are processed in parallel . So new people can enter the line (in the past they could not until the dates got current). I hope you get the message very akin to what you would do in the semi conductor industry. I am guessing your dates are not current and hence you are unable to apply, now more people in line getting processed means dates move and you will be current, then apply get an EAD now your wife can work. Then the US starts to become like heaven.

Dear All,
Can we determine to pool in at least 200,000.00 (each to contribute at least 300 dollars) so that we can at least hope for GC in few months and not years.

Please help yourself.

My contribution for April:
Donation to Support Immigration Voice (User: Caliber)
$50.00 USD for one month
Effective Date: Apr. 1, 2009 $50.00 USD

Is it a guaranty or just assumption that we get GC in few months if we pool $300 ??? sounds to me is a guaranty.. can you back this up with reasonable explanation????

[PresidentO]

Can you enlighten us what exactly is the so called mentality? oh well dont worry. We know what it is and it is your obtuse vision of certain community. Just because he does not think being on H4 is hell and just because he asked you to look around on the forums for an answer, you utter ethnic slurs and paint a whole community as one that lacks pride?? So much for your education and your work at the world's largest SC firm. If you read the mission or goal statement for a second on IV home page, you would have figured what IV is mainly working on. On the motivation Q, sitting at home itself is a motivation. What else do you need to get out there and work for a provision that will help your family and many others to come. you guys can work on the issue and get a provision that wil help your family and other families in the future from the inability to work or else you can continue bitching and moaning about how it is a loss of self esteem, which IMO is lack of self esteem. Choice is yours

Please stop hijacking the thread with useless ethnic slurs and equating H1 with slavery. Enough I guess you got the answer to your Q from the man himself and others too.

Sorry, if I did not state properly. I did not mean it and there is no guaranty. But if we have more money, IV core can go ahead and lobby with full force.

Apologize for the miscommunication.

[needhelp!]

Seems as though every time there is a funding drive there are always people who come with questions that have been answered so many times before. It almost seems that these inflammatory posts are deliberate. All the answers to such questions are already on the forums and it takes less time to search than to post.

[hunkuncontrolled]

Probably you were busy with your GC and someone else was doing what your balls should do..

Probably you were busy with your GC and someone else was doing what your balls should do..

We have 2 pages of posts, but just 150.00.

Sanju is right when he says, we are High-tech educated illiterates.

You have 15 posts. First you were crying for EAD, then GULTI, now all this.

And you think this is the way for convincing law makers on our contributions to American society? Is it because of your bad language, the law makers should give your spouse, EAD?

[ganguteli]

I am not sure abt Senator Grassley and others but someone in your home could answer your curiosity about my balls. lol...Take your shot man

You are an anti-immigrant troll. Good we caught you.

[praveenuppaluri]

your posts should seriously offend me as I am from A.P but again, are you really worth that I should be upset about your rants.. I don't think so... your title suggests it all.. you acknowledge you are uncontrolled...

coming to your question below - I haven't applied for GC but I plan to soon. and common sense tells me that unless all the ones infront of me get theirs, I should wait for a loooong time and that is enough motivation for me to go to DC rally, work on IV action items, join the state chapter and most important CONTRIBUTE so that IV has the funds that will eventually help me. july 2007 fiasco didn't help me to get my EAD but that doens't mean I have to spill my frustation in bad taste in an educated forum with stupid handle..

if you are NOT planning to apply for GC and go back to your home country - no body is stopping you. you are FREE to move back. H4 dependents can't work and there is no surprize there. thats the rule they had in place from day 1. if you don't like it - do something about it and let us know what you are doing - we might actually support you.

if you think ranting in public forums and showing your frustation on one community is "showing courage".... well.. I hope you get well soon...

Is the donation link broken? I clicked on the donate one time button, and it takes me to smiley page. Did anyone else have this problem.

If anyone knows the link that works please post.

You can see Donate button on menu (TOP) while you are on this thread. Click it and it will guide you. Or you can click this link DONATE (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/misc.php?do=donate).

Yes, Admins will send you confirmation and at the same time your status changes to Donar.
