While it seems like a great initiative - lets take a step back and examine the "materiality" of the $5MM number........
1. Annual budget of a typical State Univ is upwards of $1Bn.
2. $5MM can pay for college education of say, 100 kids (only about 50 if you include living expenses)
So, what the message that would go out in media would actually read like is the following:
"100,000 green card applicants trying to buy their way to US Residency by sponsoring 100 kids' college education and/or contributing 0.2% of Ohio State University's Annual Budget"
To the average American worker who has lost his/her job or knows someone close who has - this would, in my mind, seem like a bribe........and make them anti-EB if they already were not.........
All immigrant and non-immigrant workers do their fair share for this country by paying their taxes and abiding by the laws of the land + they pay significant fees during their entire H1 and GC process- a proposal that involves them shelling out any more $$s would only create a sense that we are trying to buy our way in plus its not really fair on the applicants in any way.
Well, you are missing the most important point - Illegal immigrant's probably don't care about the future of the country's educational direction. Family based immigrants don't care either. However WE are EB immigrants and we value education and that is exactly what we demonstrate by doing this. We should not be looking to fund hundreds of thousands of student's college education - heck even the mighty US government cannot do that. We are not a political organization. The way this will go out in the media is - these guys could have used the money to lobby with senators or other congressmen, instead, they choose to use it for a good cause. This is highly symbolic. And the key here is to involve the first lady. The moment you involve the first lady, it become apolitical.
Oh, and btw, we are not buying our way into a GC. Nowhere did I mention that. We, EB immigrants value education and hence want to donate for an educational charity/cause. We don't expect a GC by doing this - this is highly symbolic; however if the Obama administration takes up CIR this year and we start this campaign and this happens to go to the first lady and gain media attention at the right time, perhaps the administration would include legal immigration in the CIR which would have otherwise not been included.
Timing is critical to this. If we gain media attention a few weeks before CIR comes up for debate, we might have Legal, EB Immigration included into it. And CIR this year is our only chance and hope and if EB immigration is not considered parts of CIR, then we might as well kiss our GCs good bye.

How long does it usually take USCIS to accept the MTR. I am assuming if it's less than 6 months then we don't have to worry about being out of status?

Hi Guys,
I am EB2 I with a priority date of April 2006 (Direct labor applied and approved from employer A, I 140 applied and approved from Employer A, Filed 485 from Employer A itself)
Moved to Employer B using EAD in 2009 January. (Almost after 18 months after getting EAD)
10/15/2009 i called the TSC and asked the representative to know whether my case is pre approved or not. the representative told me that he does not have any of that data and opening a SR will let us know. i opened one SR on the same day.
I got a mail just now, with the following text in it.
"The status of your request is
Your case is on hold because your appear to be inadmissible under the current law
Rather than denying your application based on inadmissibility, we are placing your case on hold while the Department of Homeland security considers additional exercises of the security of Homeland security discretionary exemption authority.
Such an exercise of the exemption authority might allow us to approve the case."
What does this mean, any one has some idea about it.
This is very strange. However, I would like to know the reason that prompted you to inquire about your case status. What was the status that was showing on-line? Is it "application received and pending", the same usual statement?

So that means the unused Visa number flow "downwords" within the country category NOT "accross" the EB category.
Yes. Now the question is, whether it is right or wrong as per the current law.

Sad to see students being punished like this. They are just taking advantage of the system and make some money, but not doing anything illegal. That's what we are all here for right? Make some money. If enrolling for F1 and working somewhere else is against rules, then why did USCIS issue F1 and CPT to the students.
Sorry all, i couldn't find video in english. But the video says it all.
Chip locks which are normally used against terrorists and criminals are used
on students of tri valley univeristy.
It's a human rights, privacy issue at it's peak..
It's heart breaking to see like this..
There may be scam from students, university but it's also problem from consulate, USCIS etc.
This is ridiculous..

1) My screen name has nothing to do with the argument here. If we discuss my screen name we are going on a tangent which is very typical of desis (I rememeber womanly taunts in movies and woman gossip where they would pick anything but would niether make a point nor a valid argument)
so you can see where your argument is going..
2) Hopefull signifies optimism. A pessimist is an optimist who is very analytical or knows better. Your argument is similar to "And they lived happily ever after ...(after singing around green trees) ...." ignoring the ground reality, facts that no dent has been made and also turninga blind eye to the fact that there are people since 2001/2002 stuck. Its 2007 meaning five years and if the Dept is not willing to budge after all these efforts to a number more than 7000, and you still are HOPEFULL ignoring the facts means that you are an idiot. Yes you will get your GC before you die for sure provided you live upto the age of appx 70 and your consulting firm is around and you are not tired of the bickering with your employer.
Its just like a Yash Chora SRK movie ...it only happens in reel life and not real life ..
3) as far as the FT job goes we both knwo it deep within what it means...i hope you are smart enough to get the point and wont make me word it to emabrass you further..
4) if you would be intelligent enough to shed some light on how kindness and make you get your GC in thsi scenario ...
just a piece of advise ..STOP BEING DUMB

I may have lost it there for a bit, I agree. Obviously you are obsessed with me to the point of ignoring my main points and attacking me for the minor ones. If you read the thread, iskantem and I continued our conversation after that.
My points again :
1. The diversity argument is flawed when it comes to skilled immigration, especially when we have most of the grad schools here filled with Indian/Chinese students. This is what I was explaining to "iskantem" and why especially when you are talking about less than 0.05% of the population it doesn't make sense.
2. We don't even allow anyone over here to have an alternate opinion on an issue. In terms of IV activity, it is almost 100% Indian. However 60% of the EB3 backlog is not from India! Now why don't we see these 70000+ ROW guys participating here I wonder! Let me tell you why. Its because a lot of us actively discourage them from participating whenever they have an opinion contrary to ours (read India). Now I maybe guilty of losing it a little there, but I still made an effort to reach out and explain the flaw in the diversity issue he was mentioning rather than mount an all out attack/ignore him right away/stick my head in the ground.
Well, of course since you are so obsessed with me and also with getting reds (if you notice I didn't give you any) you may have missed them. Happy that you got me? And happy you didn't get reds? Good, enjoy your day. Please let's get back to the issues now. Peace.
LOL. I got "snookered" there. But to my credit, I didn't vent a red on you either.
For the record, I don't mind the red's I "earn". But as you also observed, you get that for free around here by the dozen. And I can't ignore it when people act childishly
There is no doubt the policies are flawed, foolish or whatever. But I maintain that screaming out to another person/s in a forum is of little good. Agreed that your arguments have weight, but they should be made to the right person at the right time. So let's wait for the next letter-writing event and we can participate in writing the draft..

Hi Dinesh, in your quote above were you intending to say that most state colleges WILL NOT accept applications if you do not have GC/citizenship? So to attend a state college you NEED TO BE a GC holder/citizen? If that is the case how come lot of international students come here and attend state colleges for MS/Phds and get assistanships/fee waivers?
I will leave Dinesh to answer what he meant, but let me address the second part of your post.
Tuition waivers and financial assistance is hard to come by, if the applicant is an international student. It is not impossible, but quite difficult, at the undergraduate level.
However, at the post-graduate and doctoral levels, the scene is completely different. International students have ample opportunities for getting assistance and waivers. At the PhD level, I guess it is nearly universal.
The point is that at undergraduate level, it is very very difficult for financial assistance. On-campus jobs are one way in which students try to ameliorate the burden.
More than lack of financial assistance is the issue of paying out-of-state tuition, which is about three to four times the cost of in-state tuition.
Hence, AOS applicants can get enormous relief in some states. Maybe, it is there in all states....I dont know and I wouldnt try to guess.

Yes it is just like someone asking labor sub to be allowed again in admin fixes so that they can get a sustitute labor and cut in line.
I don't think it is the CP filers' fault. They are not cutting in line. It is the USCIS who is sitting on their ass on these 485s while the state dept processes the CP files at the normal pace. It should have been the state dept who should have processed the I-485 and CP (just like how they used to do the H/L visa revalidation inside U.S 4 years ago) and we would not have this issue or the visa bulletin fiasco.
It is a gamble to go with CP just like any other application in this GC mess. I know of guys who got their green card in 18 months while I spent 5.5 years in labor dept alone. But, that does not warrant chastising of the CP filers or anybody else for the Government's ineffiency (except in the case of labor sub).
But, I agree that the requests by the original poster should not be a part of IV's letter campaign.

My I-140 was denied incorrectly , as a result my I-485 was denied.
The USCIS is claiming that the I-140 Petition was filed without a certified PERM application. This is absolutely incorrect. The original certified PERM application was filed with the I-140 Petition. I have a photocopy of the original PERM application.
My lawyer filed MTR for both I140 and I485 6weeks ago.I received receipt notices for both I290B.
I was working on my H1B till last week, but was laid off last week and I am searching for job.No one is offering job on H1B.I send a letter to coressman explaining my situation.
Can I use my EAD?-----My Lawyer says my EAD is invalid.
You may start looking for a job and as it is already 6 weeks past MTR filing, you may get a decision soon.
Working or not working on EAD is an ambigious call. Some lawyers say you can some say you cannot. If you already exhausted 6 years on h1b and if there is such a rule then your h1b is also considered in the same way as your EAD?
