Extremly Important to Green Card holders or going to be GC holders
When GC holder goes out of USA to get married, there is no provision of dependent visa for his/her spouse to bring her/him legally into the USA. They have to wait 5/6 years to get their citizenship to bring their spouses. GC holders are uniquely disadvantaged in that matter, if they want to sponser their spouses or kids.
Some groups are already working on this. Lets give them a hand. If not much, we can sign the petition online or write letter and fax it to or mail it to the congressman. Here is the link that can help writing to congressman.

Thanks everybody.

What about people who are making up mind to file asylum /
What about V-visa? Isn't that for spouse of GC holders?

Anybody Signed the Petition!
V Visa is not useful due to its extreme criteria. 1. you should have bee applied before 2001 2. The spouse or dependent had had waited for more than 3 years out side of country.
What a rediculous combination of criteria. So it has to be changed!
Lets help EachOther.
Who is Eligible?
A person may apply at a U.S. consulate abroad for a V-1 or V-2 visa or seek V-1 or V-2 nonimmigrant status while in the United States, if:
The person is lawfully married to a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States (V-1), or is the unmarried child (under the age of 21) of a Lawful Permanent Resident (V-2);
The person is the principal beneficiary of a relative petition (Form I-130) that was filed by the Lawful Permanent Resident spouse/parent on or before December 21, 2000;
The person has been waiting at least 3 years since the petition was filed for status as a Lawful Permanent Resident because the petition is still pending, or has been approved
But:
An immigrant visa is not yet available;
Or,
There is a pending application to adjust status or application for an immigrant visa.
The derivative child of a V-1 or V-2 nonimmigrant is eligible for a V-3 visa or for V-3 status.

Due to that "on or before December 21, 2000" and "waiting at least 3 years" stuff makes the visa almost unusuable. That is why both of those criteria has to be changed to make any use of V Visas. In last session of congress, there was a bill introduced to change that 2000 to 2010 and 3 years to 6 months, but never became law. That is why we have spread the message around so the congressmen will introduce such kind of bill again in this congressional session.

As I said in other that I started, there is a new bill coming and we need to support as much as we can to make this a law. If you don't give a dam, do you think white will.
