Sure, your point is very much valid. What I understand from the Freakenomics experiment and EB3I behavior with respect to IV is that only a few folks have the perseverance to go all the way from D to B.
Take 100 folks with C grade and give them the $50 offer for B. May be 80% will reach that goal. (I do not recall the actual results of the experiment).
Take 100 folks with D grade and give them the $50 offer for B. Ideally we should see 80% of folks improving their grade to a C (one level up). But in real life only may be half as much (40%) will actually improve their grades to a C.
At this point and esp from states like TN, IN, MO, AR, KS, KY, MO, OH, WI, AZ, NV, NM, UT, CO, OR, NE ..... I will gladly take the 40%, why, I will be happy with 20%!!!!!!!!!!!
Members from these states, remember, that your lawmaker will vote on all immigration bills - the questions are 1. whether our provisions are in the bill 2. have we talked to our lawmakers about our issues and 3. will they vote for us? ----- All three tie to our participation and our communication. As simple as that.

It is time for the high skilled immigrants here to take offense with what NUSA puts out ... here is a message that was sent to them a short while ago. We can do more. The collective intelligence, tax dollars and clout of this group of HIGH SKILLED immigrants can call the bluff on Roy Beck and his bunch of fear mongers...
To Roy Beck:
Unfortunately, special interest groups such as yours fail to understand the realities of globalization, international trade and commerce. Your views are an arcane throwback to the era of narrow protectionism fueled by fear, uncertainty and doubt. The world's economies are growing at a much faster rate than the US because we have failed to keep pace with the talent race and skill race. We have forgotten the great tradition of adventurism and capitalism, and instead bask in the self-avowed glory of elitist protectionism... hoping that cute scare videos and falsified statistics will deceive people from seeing what NumberUSA is what it is really about = a quest of 'racial purity'. Lets not try to fool hardworking, law abiding economic agents into believing that you stand for a moral cause greater than the collective capitalist good of the United States. Indeed, it is shameful that you should continue to pander your archaic sentiments around 'immigration control' in a land where the ONLY natural citizens are American Indians. You demean the Irish, the Italians, the Germans, the Jews, the Indians and the Chinese by painting a broad brush against 'numeric over crowding' without caring to recognize the net economic value add of these and other ethnic groups. Maybe its time for todays youth to stop fawning over Hannah M, Britney S etc and get cracking at higher education ... and maybe, just maybe, our time is better spent on being parents that can imbibe a new 'gold rush' mentality of adventure and spirit instead of fear mongering and hoping that globalization will go away :). Because, it wont Mr Beck. Never has. Never will.

Low Expectations for Obama’s Immigration Speech � The Washington Independent (http://washingtonindependent.com/90677/low-expectations-for-obamas-immigration-speech)
President Obama�s planned speech on immigration reform tomorrow has been lauded as indication of a renewed commitment to immigration reform, as have his meetings early this week with advocates and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. So what will the president say? Unfortunately for reform advocates, not much that�s new: Obama is expected mostly to retread familiar ground on the importance of passing comprehensive immigration reform, rather than offering specific provisions he�d like to see in the law.
States aren�t waiting for reform � NPR reports that 45 states have introduced more than 1,000 bills and resolutions relating to immigrants so far this year � and polls indicate that most Americans support Arizona-style laws to curb illegal immigration. In theory, the issue should be resolved at a nationwide level to prevent harsh laws from driving illegal immigrants into other states. (There�s some concern that the Arizona law is already having that effect.) But no Republican senator has emerged to back a comprehensive bill, and with midterm elections in sight, rounding up votes for a controversial topic might be difficult before a potential lame-duck session

Another key Republican calls for H-1B cap hike - Computerworld (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215970/Another_key_Republican_calls_for_H_1B_cap_hike)
I think there is a need to educate politicians that the problem is not H1B but GC backlogs. As per USCIS only 7100 H1B's have been utilized so far for FY 2012. Unless they provide clear and time bound path to Permanent Residence, positive economic contributions from high skilled immigrants would be minimal.
======================
I agree that we MUST educate them.
Most of them do not know anything about L1. They think only about H1. I have been to my Congressman's office several times and have written numerous letters (not emails but printed and signed letters, as they have a better impact).
Requst one and all to do that. CIR is dead now. What next? can we debate?
Cheers!

Hello H1b Guy,
I am sorry for the situation you are in. The employer should be punished. Let me ask you:
1. do you have any email correspondance with the employer asking you pay for h1b fee?
2. if you don't then pose him a question using office email something like "how much is still pending on my h1b fee that i owe you (replace you)". Address this to HR or Payroll or the boss it self. Wait for the reply, and then take copy of it for record purpose.
3. if '2' does not work then wire tapping is way to go:
http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/new-jersey/new-jersey-recording-law. As per the law in New Jersy, one party should be notified and if you are recording you conversation, you are the one party and the other do not have to be notified. Are you using voip in the office? if so use wireshark to record the conversation. If not then there are devices available outside for cheap to do it.
I am not a lawyer, please do some more research and then find a way. If you really want to trap these type of guys there are tons of legal ways to do it. Hope, this helps. Take care. All the best.

Are they processing based on received date or notice date???
If your lucky no date matters it will be approved any time , Techinically it should be receipt date , but who knows whatz going on ..
Recepit Date and Notice Date are like project requirements which some team members get it right and some dont ..
I think it will take few more years before they finish working on July 2007 cases and stream lining the process , so I guess for next year or so it will all be luck

With all due respect, the probelem I have with volunteers is that I don't think amtures can pull a job this big, you've got to have profesionals, somethng like a compain maneger.
I admire the courage of your guys, and think the goal is fantastic. But the way it goes, I don't see how it can be achieved.
I've learned a great deal about immigration from the forum here. I very much appreciate it. I try to give back by answering questions others may have. I think IV has been doing a great job serving as that capacity.
But you guys want do something bigger. Well, you have faith in it, I don't, at least not now, neither many others. Maybe that is why you are still asking for money and volunteers.
we have professional lobbyists. and they cost the erath.
and that is why we need contributions. as long people "don't believe" we don't succeed. it's up to you, it's your issue as much as mine. professionals cost a lot of money, and this thread is quibbling over 20 and 50 bucks. anyway who is the knight on the white horse coming to rescue us? it's just us buddy, and we have to do our best. i like your analytical thinking. we need you to join in and help. any number of volunteers is less imho...

people we are coming close to the situation where it is "do or get fried :)".
I disagree that the situation is very bad.
It is bad only for those that are laid off on H1B. All others have EAD and are happy. They will realize the bad situation only when they cannot take a promotion or salary raise or cannot change job due to same and similar. Or if I485 gets an RFE or denial.
If the situation was bad, more people would be serious about your idea including you. Even you are not willing to do anything yourself other than asking others to do it. So this is the fate of immigrant community. We all do not want to do anything ourselves unless we ourseves are in a bad situation.

I don't think dates will go back again unless they drastically move the dates forward. The dates could remain stagnant for a long time though.

While this question may sound redundant, I want to make an honest attempt to understand it. How does creating media awareness translate into making politicians understand the complicated issues suffered by legal immigrants? Further do they give any weightage to the fact that the stories are in the media and therefore they need attention?
I am biased towards the opinion that we might have already run enough media stories. I believe that the real fight now is to convince the politicians to do something about it. Propaganda and lobbying is the only thing that works with politicians in this country. And you have to choose a medium that politicians directly refer to. Meeting politicians and their representatives in person is most effective I believe. With due respect to your views, Pappu, can we discuss some of these questions?
