Just a correction SBI charges Rs. 25 for every transaction whether < 1000 or more.
Service charge of Rs.25/- (inclusive of Service Tax @ 12.36%) will be levied on every transaction where foreign currency conversion is carried out w.e.f. 16 May 2008.
As per experience, they will not charge if you transfer money directlty into SBI branch in India and if it is Greater than 1000 USD into other than SBI branch, they will not charge even that 25 rupees service charge... It was my experience till last week....you can check with customer support specailist on this.....

I feel the same. I do not remember reading anywhere that 600K EB 485s are pending.
The 600K+ number must include EB+FB

Sameet,
Thanks for your response. My wife is in India currently. Wondering if we can get a letter from a pediatrician there.
Thanks,
GCisaDawg
Got a RFE for my spouse's TB test as it was not submitted at that time...
gcisadawg, remember, you can get from a pediatrician or whoever BUT as you know they should be "Certified" by USCIS for you to go get from them...dont forget that..and based on the links I referred to you earlier you dont have too many options abroad...basically a center where you may have to go and get there..
To avoid all these headaches I would go try to get more time by asking USCIS..

That is right. There are people knowingly get into dirty deals with employers like
(1) Faking experience
(2) Working out per diems in percentages
(3) Changing job titles to suit their needs
(4) Most important - employee tries to do what he/she can to keep employer happy as the green card petition is filed - I have seen this - people I know do this - they lick the boots of their employer - get coworkers fired so that their jobs are secure - get personal in alomost everything with employer so that they feel secure and job satisfied - These are the people who come out anonymously and talk bad bad things about their employer because they know they are into a screwed up relationship - no pay hikes, employer cheating on perdiems - employer knows employee is ass kissing and talks sweet but exploits - employee knows that things are not going to be the same for a prollonged period - puts a false mask and blames organizations like IV for not doing anything - these are the folks who encourage employers to do what they want to do.
And the day these employees get their green cards, they will open they companies and will do the same thing to the new immigrants; and the circus will go on.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. But no thanks!
Let me continue with my action while you continue with yours.
My posts are not intended for you. They are meant for the rare breed that think they can make a difference in this world. I'm sorry to know you aren't that.
I would rather spend my time working for causes that I beleive - IV as well as Immigrants Rights, instead of wasting time on an on-line brawl. I'm sure you guys also have better things to do in life.
Let's just move on.
I totally agree with you on this hypocrite Lou Dobbs and also admire your determination and sticking to your views. I too belive that we can make a change if we are determined. I have written my views to the radio station eventhough I don't listen to that channel as I live somewhere far. I hate to side track the issue but I couldn't control my self to accept that Alexander was great( that apprears in your posts) I stongly belive that he was not great but was a coward (I came to conclusion after reviewing the history)

Is this a legal option for a non profit? If so, I suggest we go for it!
Here is one scheme I have been thinking about:
1. Every week members donate any amount they like over paypal
2. At the end of the week one of them is selected and refunded 2 times his contribution amount
3. To make things interesting and ensure the scheme "helps" and not "hurts" IV: Change the selection process every once in a while e.g. One week you select the user who has donated an "average" amount, but next week you select the "highest" donor, in the 3rd week you select the "5th" name in the donor's list irrespective of his amount, and so on.
e.g.
consider the following players/amounts in a given week:
user1: $20
user2: $100
user3: $10
user4: $45
user5: $25
user6: $50
user7: $25
user8: $5
user9: $10
user10: $100
________
Total: $390
Divide by 10 users: $39
This week's selection process: Select the "average" donor.
Who donated an amount closest to the average? : user4 ($45)
Therefore, refund user4 for $90
What IV received in the process: $390- $90 = $300
The other BIG question is: what incentive do people then have to sign up for monthly contributions, which is clearly the preferred way of contributing as it helps in planning and budgeting? The answer would probably be "bigger" prizes for those who sign up for monthly contributions!
Of course... if only people realize there can be no greater incentive than receiving your Green Card sooner/ being able to apply for AOS any time after LC/PERM stage is cleared.... we would not have to care about all these fancy ideas!
Too bad people can't see what is "2+2" until it is shown as 2*2*2 - 2^2!

arnab221, I'm still lurking around occasionally, but you are right I'm not her much.
Still willing to do rally or interviews etc., but I'm putting most of my spare time into energy advocacy -- which I see as a more important issue. If someone/IV needs me for something specific leadership (inc. Pappu) have my contact details, and a private message to me will reach me.
I have been a IV member since 2006 . I have seen the ups/downs . donated money , sent letters , attended rallies and done whatever has been been proposed . But I see that many senior members who had the drive to motivate people are not sending or being part of any messages or threads at all and that is exactly why the movement seems to be losing steam .
The standard response that I see to any question is "have you donated money ? " . "Don't ask for anything till you have donated. " this is followed by some some red dots which normally works to silence the questions. People will be willing to donate when they believe in the movement . I remember we collected $ 30,000 in 1 month before the rally there was huge thread with all the donations . People were charged up and the money came up automatically . I am willing to donate but to be brutally honest I do not see the same level of motivation as was there in 2006 / 2007 days .Please use this as a wakeup call and not as reason to vent your frustration on me .
There are many senior members who I do not even see any more . Members joining in late 2007 or early 2008 will not know any of these guys .
Aman Kapoor . He is the founder of IV . I have not seen his messages since the past 3 years almost . Where is he ? Is it too much for him to send a greeting in New years eve motivating the members ? It takes just 2 minutes .
Mark Bartosik :- He was supposed to the spokesperson for IV .The guy with the MasterCard sign for immigration . I have not seen him for quite some time now
Where are the other senior leaders like
a) Walden Pond
b) There was a this British Girl from San Jose ( had a handle which had name like Rose or something )
c) Niloufer Bustani from Dallas. I see her once in a while but very sparingly .
The others even I have forgotten completely.
The only leadership/core that I see is Pappu and no one else . If you have a country where the prime minister shows his face only once in 4 years , how are the people supposed to believe in that movement ? Please don't reply with a message saying what have I done or why can't I contribute money ? I have done that I am looking for leadership to show us the way and motivate us . All campaigns don't need money donations( Letters , calls , faxes etc ) . We could start with that and then drum up support and momentum and then the money will start flowing in automatically . There has to be a synchronized campaign organized by the leadership and all I see is everybody putting their eggs in the basket called spillover.

I smell a huge conspiracy behind all this USCIS, DOS mess. I believe the only reason they did is to make legal immigrants life miserable. They did all this so they waste EB visa numbers again this year and make legals wait for years before they get LPR. By the time the an individual numbers comes for the green card some of them might become illegals and some after years of frustion have gone back home.

I think we should emphasize HR 5882 and write to:
1. The President ASAP
2. Immigration Subcommittee
3. All CHC members
The intention is to bring this bill to the floor this year and make sure it is passed.
I think people with PD 2001, 2002 and 2003 should definitely write as they have a better case than the 2006 or 2007 filers.
This is our last opportunity this year to let go.

Logiclife - you hit the nail on the head yet there are other reasons for folks not being active or contributing. I've talked to a lot of folks who have no clue about the green card process - how it works, how long it takes etc - and yes , they have been in the US for more than 3 years - Ignorance is such a bliss sometimes :-) until someone wakes them up - then there are folks who have filed their GCs but arent really looking forward to stay here - they have plans to go back eventually and really dont care about GC - there are lots of reasons - bucketing everyone of them under "they are afraid to contribute/participate" is not right - yes, I know I'll be flamed to hell for saying this :-) - but me being me - cant stop myself from sharing this.

I just checked the USCIS website and found out that the approved H1 which has been reopened has a Last Updated date of 09/30/2007....
09/30/2007 was a Sunday...why is USCIS working on the case on Sunday ???

I understand that you are trying to be smart but you not quite sounds so. sorry
of course - this is off topic but the whole point is WE are suffering from it and DOES affects us - may be you are not nor you have any clue about what this means to you.
the goal of our community is to drive out the common enemy, share our experience to benefit others- may be sometimes it does sounds off topic but that does matters to us, the same way how $$$ matters to you. I would recommend you just think about bit before start comment on it.
It' not about being smart. Just common sense. As I mentioned this is a forum meant for US employment based immigration issues.
Per your recommendation, I gave a little thought & this is what I came up with.
Why don't you call or go to ICICI bank and ask for their help to fix our immigration issues ?
