Guys Here are my ideas for actions.
Our community is facing basically two types of problems
1) Visa number shortage.
2) USCIS Administrative problems.
Visa Number shortage is not fixable without proper law change.
While USCIS Administrative problems are easier to handle.
I would suggest, after new homeland security secretary (Janet Napolitano) takes office on Jan 20 2009, We should simply take 30 minute appointment.
Sit down with her....and explain her along with "Power point" presentation.
We are highly skilled professionals, so lets tackle these issue very professional way.
We should explain her about following things
- Out of order case processing ( this will fix about 40% of our problems)
Since our case becomes very very predictible.. one can sleep at night without checking their emails from CRIS.
- Timely publication of numbers.
- Proper publication of backlog numbers with details for each category.
- Open communication with IV community just like Ombudsman take calls from public.
- Please add your idea here
Thanks!
Naushit.

I agree with the monetary clout aspect of the argument and would participate in such an effort. I also feel we have to initiate high visibility events on the lines of the DC event. Two suggestions I would like to float,
(1) Can state chapter memberships be made paid for with annual memberships. There are efforts to channelize information through the state chapters (and rightly so) - there could be others such benefits that can be made available in due course.
(2) Can we extend/magnify the entrepreneural theme of IV (beyond a discussion thread) by having a substantial program dedicated to the entrepreneurship aspirations of a good number of IV members - have a business plan competition amongst members, garner support of successful immigrant entrepreneurs as part of the program, have webinars to educate legal aspects and barriers faced (due to our limbo). In essence, make visible the entrepreneural potential locked. Also, it might help transform our image from job takers to job creators. We can partner with other entrepreneural support organizations to fund the program. If we can execute a truly great Business Plan competition and attract venture capital funds we can have certain percentage of venture funding go to IV. If IV members and core think that this suggestion has some merit, I can help evaluate/extend/shape the idea with other like minded individuals.

Has the 4GB card been formatted with the FAT32 filesystem in your computer? The D100 supports FAT32, so greater-than-2GB memory cards should not be a problem in theory. :confused:
BTW, I've not yet heard of viruses getting on memory cards and affecting digital cameras, yet. I'm sure the day will come, as digital cameras become more powerful and [perhaps] start using more general purpose processing units.
