I got my original passport renewed at Houston. Here are my details.
Original Passport expiring on Feb 05/2011. Sent the completed application form with all the required documentation to Houston on June 17th. Received new passport on Jul 07/2010.
Prompt service in less than 3 weeks. Last week I emailed them requesting the status of my application and never got a reply. Tried to reach them on the phone, but no one answered. Was getting little concerned as I have an upcoming trip by end of this month. Got the fedex this afternoon. Very good service.
Thanks

Lets look at Rep. Smith - Reclaim American Jobs Caucus | Congressman Lamar Smith (http://lamarsmith.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=14781)
he is against amnesty and for border control.
--> the cir menendez bill has all the border control provisions that the republicans want (in fact, it is entirely what they want) - so one issue is addressed.
--> illegal immigrants who are already in the country - record number of them have been deported in the 2 years under this administration (more than the republican presidents in the past!), trying to deport them all will take billions of dollars (which the govt does not have - or will it be charged on the legal immigrants?). Yes, one should not support lawbreakers, but just saying that does not solve the problems......what proposals are there that will address the illegal immigrants? nothing.
the talking points are:
border control, we are against amnesty. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Provide solutions, if not a path towards legalization with due fines, what alternative do you suggest?
Lamar Smith's webpage:
• By simply enforcing current immigration laws we could create job opportunities for American citizens and immigrants who played by the rules to enter the U.S.?
--> Sounds pro legal immigrants right. For now, yes.
--> How many of the H4 spouses said they have no intention of working in the US in the visa interview? How long before they come for us, for using the legal immigration loopholes to enter the job market? Is it fair for qualified spouses to stay home when they can contribute to the economy - absolutely not!! But in the eyes of the americans, are they taking away the jobs? absolutely!
IF not now, these very people will come after us too..
what do you think?

we have 1000s of people debating about a bill on IV, but there are less than 10 people actually talking to the lawmakers to get the bill to come on the floor.
The real work is to talk to the lawmakers so this bill has a chance to come on the floor, if and only if it comes on the floor, we can then discuss how we can tweak it to benefit all EB Categories and add ammendments.
Otherwise, it is just one of the 100's of bills that will never ever even be debated.

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many ....
A Special thanks to the Lets Partner to Increase Thread. I am proud to say that I am a successful graduate of that thread. Three members including Abhijit found sponsors for my ticket and thats how I was able to represent Texas in the DC Rally.
I did not realize that our guitarist was Abhijit. Abhijit, I did greet you while you were walking towards the registration booth in the morning. Had I knew that it was you, I would have thanked you there itself!

Thanks for the answers and clarifications. I will do what I can and when I can.
I am surprised that there are 4 lawyers and you have free calls for all needy members. This is what I am talking about. I think it should be made more clear on what are the benefits of memberss and people will contribute before asking. Not every one is a crook and try to get info for free.
Yes you are right, No one asked me, but no one asked you for a response either. Appreciate it though.
If some one request, i am all up for it, if you demand like pappu, you aint gonna get it.
peace out.

Why is there a group of people trying to portray "immigrants without GC buying a home and later letting it go to foreclosure due to job loss" as criminals ??? ( "extradited and put behind bars" , "must never come back to US" , etc etc) . US is a debt based economy and it relies on people spending money, hence bankruptcy is a perfectly legal procedure and your credit gets screwed , but that's it and the rule is the same for anyone, be GC holders, citizens, illegal immigrants, legal immigrants. Why discriminate against fellow immigrants ? only just because you can ? why not put the mortgage brokers who pushed inventive mortgages or the big bankers who got million dollar bonuses because their mortgage backed assets portfolio doubled to trillion dollars, behind bars ?
Give us a break. Buying a house or renting is a personal choice (I'm for buying if your rent is pretty close to the supposed mortgage payments) , and please let it be like that. Ya I know there might be peer pressure/family pressure , so what ? I also get asked sometimes when I go back to India as to why I don't have a GC yet, I just smile and say "I don't know and frankly I don't care" :)

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website.
their website does not say this. havent we had enough?

I agree, a phone call or meeting in person will be much more effective if we can do that. And this situation definitely needs such attention. If one can't get time for this effort, he/she has no right to complain about it.
I think we need a good strategy to fix this and I believe any problem, with a good strategy, can be solved in reasonable time.
To press right buttons we need following
- Separate legal employment based immigration delays issue from other issues like (family based, J1, H1 etc.) Not that other issues are less important but diluted efforts won't we won't achieve results. SO concentrate on just one issue and press for it. For now let's just talk about those who are waiting for over 5-7 years for their green cards.
- Don't ask for CIR, increase/decrease quota or any change in existing laws but a swift one time executive order or a temporary introduction of a new law or something like that. Totally separate from current immigration law one time fix to existing problem.
- Immigration reform - you can do what ever with it whenever. We have a problem here we need a fix.
- Try to communicate this issue with your local media. Letters, phone calls, meetings can help up to certain extent but media can put issues on fast track. Long waits, restrictions in making life & family decisions and personal freedom are issues well understood by this country and these are the reasons why we are here. If you communicate these issues correctly everyone will understand. Put your story out on local news paper / radio. Get a local group set-up and get with your local cultural/ethnic group leaders who are enjoying their citizenship and freedom and ask them to get involved.
Let's get results, one step at a time.

When we were running this campaign with a goal to reach 10,000 members most of us were hitting a wall with a lot of new people on H1.
It seemed like a lot of new people (newly on H1- ONLY 2-3 years on a H1) did not seem to care about the issues surrounding EB Visas and the employment based GC-MESS. They simply were too new and frankly had not filed their permanent labor or given a thought about it. They were/are naive about the steps involved, the complications and the number of years it will take w/retrogression.
With this new bill S1035 in debate restricting H1-Renewals and other such things, we can get a lot of these people's attention.
So lets reach out to these people again, and get them involved. We need a lot of strength in terms of number of members and sorry, the annoying other item that I am scared to talk about is more $$.

The IV bus journey from NJ was very well planned and executed. All I had to do as a "participant" was indeed to just hop on....no fine print! On the bus and at the rally made some wonderful friends.
singhsa3, mpada and everyone who may have worked on the NJ/NY bus logistics, you have been excellent! Thank you IV core for providing this convenience.
IV handle "laborchic" who was on our NJ bus co-coordinating the minute details of to and fro journey with help from another selfless soul "amit_sp”, superbly handled stopovers, timings, ensuring that we reached rally on time and also more importantly that 'No child (read registered bus member) was left behind' and keeping driver happy etc....
Special thoughts also go to whoever came up and arranged the idea of the Gurudwara stopover during the forward journey. It was simply superb! We were able to catch up some sleep there and were fresh for the rally. The host at the the Gurudwara was most gracious. The facilities were good. We were grateful for the lovely breakfast and tea that was served.
The rally was very well organized, right to the minutest details. It was a wonderful effort from some really tired but focused and determined looking volunteer folks whom I saw scrambling around while we participants had it easy. During the rally got a good view of the Capitol Hill and other spots. The cops on motorbikes, cars and bicycles monitoring our procession looked an awesome sight. But that paled compared to the feeling of camaraderie and friendship that was overwhelming all of us folks in white IV T shirts.
Also saw faces behind IV handles, the core and other ever active ones, and found out that they were just like me, two hands two legs.... no horns or feathers. Realization then struck that what probably differentiated them from a lot of us was simply that they have reacted to the same problems you and I have in a smart, constructive and selfless manner.
This is what I could remember and share with few of you who unfortunately could not make it and a whole lot of you who did not make it. To the latter, the feeling of high I have now from having acted upon my normal demons is something I am not able to describe. I just feel it......

Now EB2 is also stucked at2003 Jan.
