The plan that mirage is talking about is to contact only the lawmakers who are already well versed with immigration.
Now; senators/congressmen who don't have much knowledge and you present to them why the country quota, etc., should be changed; will be given evidence through their research of what is going on with h-1b, labors in fast procesing states, etc., In this environment where there is sentiment against immigration it will fall on deaf ears and maybe even skew things in the future for you with the politicians because they are getting insight into this stuff at the wrong time.

Dear Mehul,
I was spellbound after seeing this thread and going thru it ... It is something beyond anyone's imagination ... as I saw on Ramdev's program and on Astha channel (www.aasthatv.com), Yoga and Pranayama has cured some of the most incurable diseases... I would request you to try Pranayama ... I have the Ramdev�s Pranayama DVD with me ... pass me your address in PM and I will mail it to you...
I have nothing else to say ... It is indeed a sad news ... I pray to almighty to give you courage and have faith on your believes...

Please be prepared for unanticipated actions in case of rallies
Check this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFdNkXJMH9A&mode=related&search=
IV members - never lose control or temper - in a public rally. Be careful - remember, in this current scenerio we do not have much sympathy - if any official assualts us - more sympathy will be towards them.
Please do a thorough research on how effective rallies are based on our situation. We do not have much political support - no government support, no public support - and not the least of sympathy though we contribute so much.
In case of unanticipated actions - we may never know if politically we will have any help fro higher ups.
Also - please check the numbers ( remember though a lot of people show enthusiasm in discussion forums, in reality you will find very less people taking part)
So please do your homework and do a lot of discussion. Do not hurry up and rush into rallies. A lot of rallies are done by disciplined leaders who plan these well in advance.
Please do some research.
Once again - it is nice to see the zeal in all the members to do something. Please contribute to IV. Participate in media drive and update information. Help in all posible ways. Please contact core to discuss strategies.
Keep up the spirit.

I am a lurker in this site. This is my first post. I have seen many posts by United Nations. He has helped and still trying to help many users at IV. His posts has insight and valuable information. Doubting his intentions just because he is in this society for 35 years is not appropriate.
I agree, UN has given good, free advice and information worth thousands of dollars in here without any malice, and he's always ready to give any info, i think he deserves more respect that someone childishly questioning him.

Thanks buddy,
What is the procedure to the SSA update?
My family do not have SSA? I need to apply for them as well.
It won't take more than 1 hr to get all those. A simple form to be filled out (for a new SSN) and I think SS5 form (please google) for those updating SSN. It's very simple procedure. SSA will need proper ID/ and GC to verify your current status. Card should arrive in 2 weeks...
Best of luck for those who are current...

I myself will not support for skill Bill in current form. Too much H1b numbers will not only create a problem for US citizens it will also for current H1bs as well future H1bs. That 20% automatic adjustment and exemption for Cap for MS persons will increase supply and it will be tough to find a job if too many people are in the market. There are abundant jobs in India. Let people wait in India for 1 or 2 years to come here. Sustained immigration without increasing unemployment is better for US as well as potential immigrants. Otherwise Hate will increase. It may be easy to talk Capitalism and fittest will survive. When those people talking will be unemployed for more than 6 months with kids in the family will realise the truth. In the Forum most of the people are young and they did not face any issue other than Green card.
But speed with which Corporations and Lawyers are working the Skill bill be passed in current form soon. We will wait and see after 3 years after increasing H1B. My prediction is Limited increase in H1 with Moderate increase in GC numbers will solve the problem for all the gc waiting people without big reaction from anti immigrants and that will boost sustained immigration.
I agree whole-heartedly.
Senators/Congressmen are rational, smart and intelligent people. We HAVE to apprise them of our situation.
We have a legitimate, common sense and good cause on our side.
In this time of globalization and increased competition, do the senators/congressmen really want this country to lose half a million highly skilled, experienced and trained-in-America-for-years people to India and China, and to Europe and canada?
If they put 'holds' or refuse to take up our cause after they are fully aware of our situation, then atleast you know that they are doing it out of racism and/or narrow political and parochial motives.
But unless we make our situation known to these guys, we shouldn't really blame them.......Also, those with kids born in America might get more of a response from the legislators.
It is pathetic that there is a thread from NJ, and the guy is begging people to join/respond; it is mind-boggling that there are only seven members from NJ. It is absolutely ridiculous that the only two responses on the 'Calling all Wisconsin members' have been from myself, and another person. And that other person is from Illinois......
Can there be any guidance from the core team about personalizing our stories, and making those known to the legislators?

Sorry for my French guys...I generally dont like to use bad words, but this Charles Oppenheim boils my blood...
Look at all his previous statements...I dont know under what kind of influence he makes his statements...
He has BSed us in the past (look at his prior statement that he made in VEGAS) ....
Now he is BSing us again....
And we take his words seriously and start another set of arguments....
God bless every one; I need to calm down now. If possible please ignore this Oppehemi guy; he is just another joker.
CO's words have been mostly pessimistic..and upsetting so far...

00:31:34 >> They want me to say, look, i have had -- >> they want you to say if -- >> if you're president -- >> who's the number one bad guy right now you would fire in america?
00:31:48 >> Well, can I be honest?
00:31:50 I don't want to say -- there's so many of them.
00:31:51 There really are.
00:31:53 There are so many of them.
00:31:54 You look at the department of education.
00:31:55 It goes for blocks and blocks and blocks.
00:31:59 Education should really be -- we have to -- like a little bit of supervision.
00:32:03 >> You wouldn't argue -- >> it should be a local thing.
00:32:07 >> I was going to mention education to you because the last word with the chinese, isn't it that they are educating their people better now than america is doing and that's why they're also jumping ahead?
00:32:19 Isn't that true?
00:32:20 >> You know where they're educating a lot of their people?
00:32:23 At our schools.
00:32:24 It's the most amazing thing.
00:32:25 They come over, they learn, they go to harvard, they go to wharton, they go to yale, they go to the best schools, then we force them to leave.
00:32:30 >> Okay.
00:32:31 >> No, no, we force them to leave.
00:32:34 >> When we come back, I'll ask you as a man who wins and knows how to pick a winner, which is where I come in, how are we going to win?
looks like there is some hope for us in 2013 if the elections go well :) This is all in good humor though , no one expects DT to upset the apple cart.

Something similar repeated in United States recently when thousands of legal immigrants were given a cold shoulder, despite of their merit based claim for an American Green Card.

Instead of offering an apology, USCIS chief decided to again ignore the immigrants and simply issued a statement that the flowers will be forwarded to the injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Once again a bureaucrat miscalculated the power hidden behind a peaceful protest. Now the power behind flowers is becoming a media mainstream story. NY Times, Washington Post, Reuters, Yahoo News are a few to name. Bollywood, has recently issued a statement providing its full support to Immigration Voice, the non profit organization behind the flower campaign.
An American way of fighting injustice "A law suit" is on its way, the usual rallies and demonstrations are about to begin. However, in America, its first time after Martin Luther King Jr., that someone has tried to apply Gandhi's way to fight injustice. It is yet not clear that what would be the outcome of this campaign, but there are rumours that USCIS is already discussing internally to reverse the discriminatory decision which resulted in this flower campaign causing enough embarrassement to them.
Its amazing to witness that 60 years after Gandhi's demise, his ideology is still relevant. We are sure its gonna remain relevant till there are Lord Wavell's in this world. Wavell's can momentarily laugh thinking that unorganized immigrants are helpless, but when the peaceful protest will demonstrate its political power, they surely will realize what Gandhi and Gandhian ways are all about. :D.......

Check your status and update as our cases were identical. I'll update details of duration of EAD renewal when I get physical cards.
Good luck.
Congrats !!! and can you please give me the details how to contact Sen. Kennedy - MA
