I will support whole heartedly if the below provision is part of the main agenda
1. Allowing I140 approved holders to apply for EAD/AP immediately.
2. H1B-holders who have completed 6 years should be given EAD or GC.

Thanks

Again more remedies ! Its not enough.

I demand to cancel whole H1 Program and instead offer GC immediately when US company hires any foreign national.

NO Short cut please !

I will support whole heartedly if the below provision is part of the main agenda:

All applicants whose labor is pending should directly get greencards without filing I140 and I485. A pending labor should be considered a proof that the person is interested in a greencard and US government should oblige such interested people.

Come on cbpds, think outside your own application stage. When there are more numbers and no backlog , even you will get your greencard faster.

Oh ! I missed one step there !


Its annoying to read posting when they say - " Allow to file I-485 to people who are in waiting for their I 140" OR " Give GCi who have paid tax for 5 years"

Bhai ganguteli,

your recommendations will definitely get approved coz you are bringing tel(oil) to US. I don't know what kind of tel(oil) though.

Great post. All Non-Donors please contribute. We need to fight for our Own Cause

If I were running IV this would be my response to you.

Thanks but no thanks for your offer of support. I guess we all will have to live without your support, not sure what we will do now!
1.) Do you plan to be on EAD/GC for rest of your life? Why worry about playing for school when you are ready for playing nationals. Why ask for chump change to fix your problem today, when you think about the problems after your today's problem is fixed? Oh, so you want to focus on I-140 stage because you want to stay in that stage for rest of your life. Good for you.
2.) Your plan required someone on visa to wait for 6 years to get EAD & GC. Is that good? So someone must wait for 6 years, is the goal, or the aim is to make the process shorter?

Good Luck.

I just wanted the provisions in addition to the ones highlighted by Pappu, thats all

Why do we guys not make demands when illegals can demand when they did not have right to be here in the first place.

These are the stupidest ideas -
- Allow to file I-485 to people who are in waiting for their I 140
- Give GCi who have paid tax for 5 years

The guy who is asking for this provision will fit right into it. So that's why everyone is asking for provision that will "qualify" the person proposing the provision. Most people here are now addicted to living a life waiting for something good to happen. People are proposing suggestions that will make the wait time easier. Very small number of people here are asking for provisions that will make wait time shorter, which is actually the primary issue here.

I think living in a holding pattern for such a long time have this group of folks lose or forget the sense of freedom or the sense of time when life is not on hold. And folks are saying, even though my life is on hold, I am ok as long as I am comfortable. So folks are asking for GC in 5 years or 6 years, as if we did something wrong by coming to US and we mush get punishment for 5-6 years before we could get freedom in the form of green card. Ya, absolutely, that provision - "Allow to file I-485 to people who are in waiting for their I 140" makes all the sense now. Lets continue to live our entire life between I140 and I-485, because we don't even have a sense of entitlement. If we don't even think that we are entitled to a green card, that's exactly where we deserve to be - between I-140 and I485s.

Lets only ask for filing 485 and easing restrictions on EAD/AP and filing Perm. NEVER EVER ASK FOR FIXING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. Because asking for the fix for the problem will be asking for too much, and hell no, we cannot do that.

Making demands???? what demands are you talking about??? DEmand to continue to live between I-140 and I-485. Here is my similar demand -
Allow me to think myself to deserve a free life with green card PERIOD

before anyone can make any "demand", we need the sense of entitlement and believing that we are not asking for anything unreasonable.

We should all support IV in this current objective. I don't know if anything is going to come out of this or not nor do I get my hopes high. But the main point is that we do what we can - at least raise a voice . That is the only thing we can do . Fighting the establishment is not easy but at least this makes our community and our problems visible to the establishment.

Remember if we don't talk to people and put our demands they would never know we are here and suffering or what are problems are .

For that itself we need to donate to IV .

[Pagal]

Hello,

I like the discussions and all suggestions (even some that are less practical).

In the end, I'll support what IV as a whole decides to be the key points, but hope that current thoughts being presented are providing good thinking materials for IV core.

I do agree that the focus should be on ensuring relief not just for us, but for future immigrants as well and that we should address the root causes than symptoms of the current problems.

Let's do it!

A likely provision would be to factor in the years spent waiting since labor filing towards citizenship.
Its strange that your baby gets it, is too young to avail any benefits of it immediately, while you are stuck waiting for 5 years more.
obviously, this is a well-discussed topic on IV forums. nothing new, just adding to the list of provisions.

[hiralal]

friends ..how about a campaign to THANK USCIS for GC DELAYS --WHICH HAS PREVENTED hard working legal immigrants from buying a house at peak bubble prices ... this will get media attention plus some serious thoughts.

I guess lot of people will dislike this idea ..if so, then we can use this thread for campaign ideas
