GC - The Word in Town!

One Major Issue that is being faced by every other Indian (below 2 Million heads) in US is GC! Looks like the Green Card Fever is reaching its heights!

If you haven't heard about Immigration Voices, then I guess most probably you'll run into it very soon in some news. They are really trying to make some statements because of all the frustrations they have taken all these days. Here are some day to day issues for any Indian awaiting GC -
Can't change address? Can't change job? No Promotions? Do I need to be married? Do I need to renew my Visa? How safe am I If i buy a house? Can't my wife work? Can't she get her Social Security? What No Driving License too?

Meanwhile, the backlog elimination centers came into picture sometime back & people who were almost standing first in queue to get their GC went way back like 2-3 years behind. Well my guess is, the center actually increased the backlog:)! Then, people who waited already for 3 years went back again in December 2005 when the US congress declined an immigration amendment!

With all these frustrations, Aman Kapoor took charge! He obviously used the online/internet Indian community and called for help & assistance! Now, he has the backing of like 3000 members, still growing including Chinese who are in the same grounds! The org also partnered itself with high powered lobbying firm Quinn Gillespie & Associates LLC! So, are they trying to achieve something fruitful:
- The first thing is to reduce the wait time from like 6 years to atleast likely 3 years which in turn, needs some optimization in the backlog reduction
- If the above has to be done, atleast the Green Card quota got to be increased which is now like 140,000. So, the expectation is to hike that to like 300,000

A note worthy effort! Wishfully, the Immigration Voices will be appropriately heard!
