IV In Washington Post: Skilled Immigrants Turn to K Street

[jkays94]

Excellent job, great article! Just an observation that it may have helped if the article had also mentioned that IV members also come from several other countries.

BTW, I want to use this opportunity to thank IV members virtual55, jkays94, and cpolisetti for setting this whole ball in motion.

It was their post on the forum (see http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=453 (Getting In Touch with Wash Post Correspondent)) pointing out Mitra Kalita's Q&A on the Wash Post site that set this whole ball rolling.

It is just one example of how every member can do his or her part to help us.

Keep the spirit up!

best,
Berkeleybee

You're most welcome, a big thank you to the core team for having followed up and for doing what was necessary to turn this into reality. I have shared the article with some of my colleagues, and they all agree that the article hit the nail on the head in as many words in regards to the problems that we all undergo as GC and LC applicants, problems that the public at large does not know about and would not otherwise not have knowledge about were it not for IV. Lets keep up the team spirit, the momentum and steer IV to even greater heights! We can do it and we certainly will.

Thanks to all members of IV who have made it possible for our voice to be heard! Keep up the good work!

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is "K Street" and what is its relevance?

It would be so great if our Chinese members told us more about this portal, and any others where we could get the word out.

Thanks!

Try sending a PM to zhongweizhu or wu1. It's a guess. Looks like Chinese members to me. I am not Chinese.

K Street in Washington DC is where the big lobbying firms have their headquarters and is sometimes refered to as the fourth branch of government.

Can we do something in Indian regional news papers? I know http://www.eenadu.net or http://www.vaarttha.com/ two most popular online Telugu newspaper for skilled immigrants in US. Also www.idlebrain.com has popular enough which might help different group of people to know about what IV is doing.

but saw 10 postings about IV in Indian (desi) sites., like www.kcdesi.com, one from Detroit, one on Sulekha and a few other Chinese sites. I guess these are blog posts. If it is useful, I will post each or all of these. Even, some Canadian sites have picked up issues listed in IV home page ( and probalbly spinning them to their advantage)
