Hi,
Thanks for all the questions.
I will answer as much as possible without causing any damage to ongoing efforts. Please keep
in mind that not everything can be disclosed on public forums.
1. Funds:
We have about 30,000 collected so far. Major expense of running this organization is the fees for our lobbying firm QGA. Minor expenses include administrative costs such as website registration(one time), Organization registration in New Jersey(one time) etc. Other than that, we also have some advertising expenses as we put up ads on some popular websites. Sometimes we have to hire lawyers for certain org activities but those are minor expenses again. We are also paying for the webfax feature but not sure how much. Please dont suggest the free versions of webfax because they dont work and they DID NOT WORK during S 1932.
Please keep in mind that we are avoiding expenses as much as we can that results from members travelling to DC and so far all those expenses have been out of pocket.
QGA is currently working for us right now and we do not have to wait until we have 200K in the bank for QGA to start working.
The board members of IV(Board of directors) would decide if all the financial information could be made public to members on website for accountability reasons and transparency reasons without damaging anything else.
2. Labor backlogs:
Labor backlog problem is an administrative problem, not a legislative problem. There is nothing that is stopping the BECs from doing their job more efficiently as there is no quota restriction mandated by law on labors approved each year. That is the reason it is under "Administrative Goals". Would any law help improve labor backlogs? No. can we still involve congress in it? Yes. It is the intention of IV to draw the attention of lawmakers to the horrible job BECs have done so far as it is the constitutional right and privilege of congress to overlook and oversee the job of the executive.
However, if a backlog victims asks: How much of money/effort is going towards backlog and how much is going towards retrogression? I dont think anyone can answer that question. To be frank with you, this is not like cable TV where you pay $35 for basic cable and then you pay $7 for HBO and $7 more for cinemax etc. IF you think you do not want to contribute money no matter what...here is another choice: Use the resources tab to contact your local congressmen, write letters, send webfaxes etc. Use endorsement of Richard Florida. Prepare a glossy set of documents and drive to your local congressman's office(after appointment ofcourse) and talk to their staff. YOU HAVE THE POWER. ITS IN YOUR HANDS. Immigration voice is not a company providing a service to EB immigrants, its made up of EB immigrants who are serving themselves. See the "TEAM IV" menu on homepage.
[B]3. Sharp drop in contributions:
Yes, there has been a drop in contributions since one week. Part of the reason is that we have 30K which many members may feel is still in the bank. But please understand that we are using those funds and we will run out of them eventually and we would like to keep this effort ongoing until we meet our goals. Quite frankly if the current slowness of funds continue, we cannot last very long.
4. Contacting the lawmakers on your own:
Use all the links under resources tab to learn how to meet your lawmakers. Like I've said before, you owe it to yourself, not to immigration voice to work on this cause. Best case scenario of doing something: We make a difference. Worst case scenario: Nothing happens besides a polite reply from lawmakers' staff.

Sorry to read about your 485 being rejected. Mine was too, my lawyer sent the wrong fee. They tried a second and a third time and came rejected for incorrect fees. I have not tried the InfoPass because they state clearly that applications will be rejected for incorrect fees. I did a lot of crying and I am very angry at my lawyer. My PD is Jan 05. My daughter got robbed of the opportunity to work and who knows how long it will take. She will surely age-out. However, don't give up maybe things will change soon.

my wife doesnt have EAD or H4. she has AP only which expires in mar 2011 and so does AP stamp on her i94.
she got license valid only till mar 2011.
less than 6 months for $48.
she sent an email to customer service and this is the reply she got
If you have a pending I-485 filed under derivative status of your husband you must be included in his I-140 petition. Is there some paperwork you filed to have you added under his I-140 after you married him? If not other option is to show that you have applied to extend your H4 status after march 2011 eg. I-539. You can get a driver license (if you have not already got one) till your current I94 is valid and then when you apply for an extension you can show the receipt notice and renew for a year or show us a valid EAD card.
i dont have my 140 app and i dont remember getting her name added in 140. and i dont have H1 so no H4 option. so the only option left for here is filing her EAD. cause i dont know if they will extend it on AP alone with expired I94.
Never knew that spouse had to be included in the I-140 stage... Is this a new rule?

Its not possible to keep photo copies of each and every I94 issued. I think as long as you have all you I20 and H1B docs you should be good. Plus tracking I94 records is their job not your's

I saw the suggestion of asking lawyer to send AP while you travel to India without it. Although it sounds like a good idea but could be dangerous. I had a situation last year when I travelled to India with AP applied for but not approved. Unfortunately i had my old passport and visa damaged in India. When my lawyer wanted to expedite AP so that i can travel back as my old Visa was damaged and the only way to travel back was to use AP, they found out USCIS has issued an RFE on AP. Though RFP was trivial and they only wanted a clear copy of first page of passport and AP was approved immediately when it was submitted.
I agree. This is very risky. I had applied for AP way back in June '08 and while my wife got her AP in AUG, mine was happily ignored till used DHS 7001 to escalate my case. I ultimately received an RFE saying that I did not include photos (which I know 100% sure I did ... they probably lost them). 3 Soft LUDs since they've received my photos, but no approval yet. I might be canceling my trip to India that commences on thanksgiving weekend if it does not come in time.

I have not looked around for last few years to see who gives the highest rate. There may be some difference of few paisa per dollar, but if you ignore that, ICICI money transfer is good. I am using it for many years.

i filed my 140 on july 12th. Received receipt notice from TSC on jul 23rd.
My attorney filed for 485 on aug 2nd. But he filed with old fee and old 485 forms. He says i fall under july visa bulletin, so i can file with older fee.
Is he correct? Will there be no problem with my application?
Your attorney is right. Old fees apply and old forms are fine.

Even if the amount is just $4000, if he win the case you will have to pay his lawyer fee too. I would suggest you to resolve this by giving the actual reason. He cannot bind her to the job for 4 years.
You can talk and resolve. Most of the time if you pay back the filing fee, employers will be fine. no one want to go to court.

Canada requires 3yrs plus one year of training in US and then you need to take one exam for Canada and that's it. If she is doing IM or FP residency then she should try to get into one year of Chief residency as well after completing 3 yrs of residency.
Canada has a severe shortage of doctors specially in rural areas but not in the cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Windsor, or London. IT jobs are very scarce in Canada but are only in big cities. So, one of the two of you has got to sit at home depending on who decides to work.
