Not so fast...the bill language clearly indicates that the provisions of this bill will take effect from the first fiscal day of the new fiscal year after this bill becomes an act...so unless this bill is voted by the house and senate and then signed by the President before September 30th, we will not be seeing any benefit until the fiscal year starting October 1st, 2009. After the September session, Congress will convene again in November/December timeframe for a short session. If the bill does not get passed then, then come next January, it will be starting the process all over again as it will be a new year for the Congress. Just like green cards, Congress does not carry over bills from one year to the next.
The effective date could be one of the amendments .... it is changeable.

Let us try to keep the question atleast in the top10 until the poll closes. This is a very good chance to bring our issue to a wide audience.
I think the link provided here take to the page where questions are not sorted by either popularity or most recent ( which I assumed initially). I might be wrong.

I would suggest giving a 2 months trial membership during which the candidate can examine the benefits of IV. After the trail period, charge a nominal $5 monthly fee. I think that should be very reasonable, and nobody would lose their sleep over parting with $5. That would easily raise about $100K per month (~20K members*$5).
However we should continue to encourage members to commit to monthly contributions if they choose to voluntarily. Also as someone suggested, different access privelages may be assigned.

Having seen numerous threads in which the exchanges became rude/sarcastic/rude or even outright abusive and vulgar, I was hoping that this would not become one.
Ron, while you may have a point in what you say, sarcasm and taunts will get you no where. As you said, the 'antis' are gearing up, suggesting (I presume) that the effort of all of us should be more concerted and determined. But you are not doing yourself any favor by saying the things that you do.
Raji had a point of view, and has not been rude or offensive in expressing it. In fact, her/his first post was out why it is not good to use the AILA template. Well, PASKAL did try to address. Raji's tone or tenor of posts did not merit a peremptory reply, much less a rude one.
Be that as it may, I do believe fervently that even if someone insists/demands an answer, you can always ignore it instead of being rude or aggressive.
That way there will be more people on IV'S side.
Brightsider,

Trust me ...there is nothing better that that feeling.
I am proud of what I did as a young student leader in 1980 in BITS Pilani. When I see new students from my school, I feel happy that I did have a huge impact on their lives....
But .... I also feel sad when I see a bunch of totally passed out guys, who refuce to do anything on the initiatives of IV.
I bet 90 % of IV members are below 35 years but are totally passed out.
BOTTOM LINE IS.... LET US FIGHT & would not accept status quo. We did not come to US on boats & horseback.....
HAVE FUNNNNNNNNNN

Republicans who are going out will try to pass the CIR now so that they can mold it to their liking. Sessenbremer is smart and may realize that passing during lame duck session when he is chair of the immigration committee means he can mold the legislation to his conservative liking.If Democrats are smart they will not move on the Immigration reforms now so that the Latinos will be a safe voting block for them. On the other hand senior Democrats may go with passing it during the lame duck session itself because a large number of new democrats are to the right of the mainstream and new fissures may open up. From this perspective it may be better for the Democratic party to get the CIR through now with republican support.

If you are in your mid-30's and think of persuing MBA, you are looking at investing 3 years and 50 K dollars. What kind of ROI are we looking at?
What kind of salary can you expect after three years of MBA if you graduate from a regular state university.
Compared to MBA if you invest these three years and 50 K in a business wouldn't you be better off?
An MBA from an accredited AACSB university is a good investment for the long-term. However most such schools require a good GMAT school, require 2-3 years of part-time classes and cost anywhere between 30k-50k. But then there are people who are already in their late 30s or early 40s who go back to school to get an MBA. So age should not be a factor for higher education if you are in your mid-30s,
Investing in an MBA program does provide you with tax benefits with the fees being added as a "deduction" in the tax return.

As per my research and talking to customer service of few american and india insurance companies, You are partly right that no one covers pre-existing conditions.
But indian companies like Icici lombard, Bajaj allianz, tata aig etc cover emergency life saving treatment even if it was due to the pre-existing conditions. Which means if one is diabetic, reguler sugar check and doc vists will not be covered but if say patients develops a critical condition (e.g kideny failure etc) then the treatment is covered.
But american companies do not cover even the emergency treatment.
Hope this helps
Is there website to buy insurance from Indian companies? Do they cover emergency treatment for 70+ years old? I have heard it is very difficult to have claim processed through them. Do you have any personal experience?

It all might be nothing if you think everything is correct: meaning there is no fraud on your application and your employer is not blacklisted.
Please consult a lawyer raher than worry yourself crazy to find out more.
Good luck

And voluntarily joining an organization, a professional organization, which is funded by membership dues.
I never have and never will like the idea of being asked to pay, I give what I can unasked.
Unfortunately, the statistics paint a different picture of us "members" as a whole... and that's what needs to be addressed asap.
What of the people that by circumstance do currently not have these amounts of money to spare. I should not have to feel excluded nor should I have to explain my very personal reasons why to everyone.Of course! And for those who genuinely cannot pay *the doors are STILL OPEN - prove your commitment by volunteering. Does that work for you? Or (in all seriousness, treat this as a question that needs to be answered) - are you simply looking for a forum/messageboard?
Have you guys looked in the forums lately, people are getting "yelled" at and talked to rudely if they do not disclose how much exactly they have contributed. So we are only allowed to an opinion or help if we have money?Of course not! And I hate that "being yelled at" as much as anybody else on this forum. Which is why the concept of paid membership. Nobody asks you how much you paid/contributed in every second post - isn't that what you really want???
I will contribute when I have money to spare, however it seems I will have to leave this organization based on the comments that have been out there before I get to the point where I can afford to contribute. That goes for both time and money, some of us have responsibilities that we do not want to disclose. So basically all you want is some organization and members to do their work, while you come to the forums, vent your frustrations, pass your time, get some answers and opinions to your problems, and leave to tend to your "responsibilities" - because you have both financial obligations and time commitments that are completely unique, and you are the only person who is saddled with those - whereas everyone else leads a happy, prosperous life, with time and money to spare? Nice!
*sigh* I might have just opened myself up to the ones that like to attack....go ahead...Don't think of this as an attack. That's not the purpose. If this proposal forces you think what's IV really worth to you - regardless of whether you are actually motivated into contributing or volunteering or not - I will consider the time spent on this thread a great investment!
However, if all you think of IV is as a message board and a bunch of idiots trying to fix things that may never get fixed, and if they do - you'll always stand to gain - a membership-based organization would better serve the needs of the rest, imho.
cheers!

It seems like different people have different experiences with different kinds of insurances. So it is almost clear that these insurance can act good or bad case by case basis depending upon their policies.
Hi All,
I want to share my exp. regarding visitor insurance for my parents.
we took ICICILombard in india itself. My father has to see the doctor for
a small procedure done on this toe. He developed because of injury as he is diabetic.
And after reading so many negative reviews i was afraid whether i will get my 1200$ claim accepted or not. As i thought diabetes is a pre-existing condition.
And we also mentioned it in the insurance policy when we took.
But surprisingly we got the claim approved by ICICI Lombard last week and we got all the money (minus 100$ deductible).
So it's better to have some kind of insurance (to be on safe side) if you think the patriot and KV Rao are expensive.
Good luck.
Kris

Point 1: We need to target news media here in the US primarily, not abroad. All good publicity is welcome, though. Please see a new thread started today by one of the moderators called "Ideas to increase Publicity of IV." There are key action items outlined there that every member can help out with.
Point 2: What will be shared (and with whom) will be decided soon by the core group. We used to send out regular updates, but that has suffered lately because we are all volunteers and some volunteers who were in charge of it are tied down with other things at work and home.
Point 3: We are already talking to people in academia and the academies.
Point 4: No member is "discounted." All are welcome, but we really need non-paying members to start chipping in money. What people decide to contribute is their business, and entirely theirs. Whether it is $20 or $50 or $100 or $500...that is entirely the call of the individual. This activity is not cheap, rather it requires a steady cash flow. We are obligated under the laws to hire a CPA and everything will be handled and accounted for.
Hi rheoretro,
First of all I commend your and everyone in putting their effort. I totally agree with you that we need more people and money. I think people are first to come and money will automatically follow.
While word-of-mouth is effective we can augment this to get attention using other means:
1. We can persuade news portals to advertise for our cause in a corner that might help us to get more people. Most Indians I know read Indian news everyday. If we can convince e.g., eenadu.net a telugu newspaper, to run ads we can get attention of lot people.
2. Please start selling the current acheivements that are not confidential. Like you might have been successful in persuading a high profile senator about this problem. Put his quotes on our site and also possible grab attention from bloggers.
3. If we can also tap academia who support skilled immigration that would help us. Let us put there studies in our reference section (I am assuming we didn't do this yet). This
makes senator to reference our site and make their lives easy.
4. Please do not discount freewill members who do not have a GC problem but savor
helping others with immigration problem. It could be Americans or Immigrants we'll get them all in.
I think these actions will help us grow our strength. I know it is easy said than done. I will send a mail to rediff and eenadu to put our banner on their frontpage. If anyone has contacts working for these website. That will make it whole lot easier.
-Kishore.
