Will Words Fail Her?
Immigration Officials Snub Literary Sensation Yiyun Li Despite Her Peers' Praise
Despite being compared to Hemingway, Yiyun Li lost her first bid for permanent residency because an agency says she has not "risen to the very top of the field of endeavor."

Wednesday, December 21, 2005; Page C01
Five years ago, Yiyun Li had a problem: How do you persuade the literary world to take you seriously when you're a 28-year-old native Chinese speaker trying to write in English, you've published exactly nothing and your training consists of a single adult-education class?
Since then, the Beijing-born Li's career arc has been so steep it gives her peers vertigo.
She's had stories published in prestige magazines such as the New Yorker and the Paris Review. She's won the Pushcart Prize and the Plimpton Prize for New Writers. Random House has signed her to a $200,000, two-book contract, which Executive Editor Kate Medina calls -- in what qualifies as a serious understatement -- "most unusual" for a literary writer at this stage of her career. Her first book, a story collection called "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," was published this fall to wide praise.
Now she has another problem: How do you explain to the federal immigration bureaucracy what the word "extraordinary" means?
n the summer of 2004, Li petitioned the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to become a permanent resident of the United States. To approve her application for a green card, USCIS would need to agree that she was an artist of "extraordinary ability," defined in Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 204.5(h)(2) as "a level of expertise indicating that the individual is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor."
To the upper echelons of literary publishing, Li looks like a slam-dunk to meet this definition. Not to the USCIS, however. A year after she filed it, her petition was rejected.
She has appealed. A USCIS spokesman says she is likely to get her answer in a few weeks.
The appeal was rejected around Jan 2006 - Appu

The 33-year-old author, who plans another effort to get her green card, had applied based on "exceptional ability" in the arts. Her previous literary honors include the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and a Pushcart prize,

All EB2 people affected, lets get organized.
This time USCIS is hiding by not making official announcements.
We need to act as we did last July.
Lets send letters to congressman like zoe lofgren.
NSC is issuing frivolous RFEs as delaying tactics.
I am not seeing similar outrage as we saw last year.
The time to act is now.
Totally understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to say. We all need to be engaged more actively. However, in this thread, you are likely to receive more posts with the message -
"Are u blind - we are organized, we are asking each other questions about each other's status, tracking every LUD change, comparing status of each other, voting for and against in all the Eb2/Eb3 polls, always suggesting, supporting and arguing for changes that perfectly fit with my gc application, arguing why country of origin is so bad, why America has nothing to offer, unless I get my gc tomorrow, how this country has the opportunity to become great if they give me gc, what are lawmakers doing, why did they not pass laws to fix the problem of highly skilled idiots sorry, I mean highly skilled professionals, what is core doing, are they not our servants? What more do you want? Before Senators vote on the floor of the Senate, they will logong to this this site to learn what HIGHLY SKILLED IMMIGRANTS because if it was not for these HIGHLY SKILLED, the world will come to a screeching halt. So what more should we do, we are already organized." yada yada yada yada
just, a few things like that, that's all.

when we had options to donate $20, a large number of members came out with the same argument for reducing it to $10!
meanwhile the check option usually allows flexibility and is temporarily down for some circumstances beyond immediate control. it will be back though.
Yes, I first thought to send a check and I remember As*** specifically instructed me the last time about what you have just mentioned and so I wanted to use paypal but I do not have that option under paypal (< 100). Anyway I will wait then.

It is a simple logic, when the cake gets cut it rolls down to all the people in line. If there is no cake, whats the point of arguing who is ahead in line?
Well said. We see the community fighting with no cake in hand.
Chanduv23 First - let me say I respect your outstanding and active contribution on this forum very much. Having said that, I'd say, you both conveniently missed the point in my post.
I am not arguing about who is ahead in the line to get the non-existent cake - please read my post once again and point it out to me where I said anything in such regard..
Frustration comes from the point that all the discussions take tone that all IV efforts are to help EB2 category alone. It is becoming frustrating for EB3s to keep reading posts and participating in actions when everyone keeps portraying IV effort as EB2 only effort.
I'd request you both to please read my post again.
All I have said is that message need to be made stronger that IV effort is for all EB community.
By responding with who's ahead in line type of comment you both are just ignoring the situation that already exists as of today on this forum wrt EB categories. I'd venture to say that if at all you're making that feel of eb3 left out even worse than it already it.
Apologize if I have offended anyone and will gladly take that red dot for speaking out my mind.
As far as the lawsuit is concerned, just like all the other IV efforts, I'd gladly participate in it.
Another possibility should also be investigated and that is re. selective enforcement of zeigler memo by some DOLs.

As a general rule, any additional evidence you provide must prove that you had the right status (in this case, your M.S.) at the time of filing.

IV is an open forum.. where immigrants like me can join and express views.
IV is not paid for by just IV admins.. it is paid for by members and then members should be able to express views.
What is wrong about stopping something that is unlawful and illegal?
IF we are going to suppress free speech.. .. how are we different from a totalitarian regime?
Infact, how are we better than a suppressive and divisive organization like numbersusa?
It may take a masters/phd to be in EB2, but it does not take a masters/phd to understand what i am saying.... or does it?
this is not a free speech issue, please dont trivialize the 1st amendment.
You are allowed to express your views without fear of persecution, but the IV forum is maintained by IV admins and they have the right to delete whatever they want.
Free speech means you can go start your own: oppose-interfile.org and no one will stop you. It does not mean that you can post whatever you want on any forum and people must leave it as-is.

ya, lets step-up a poll and have everyone vote, as if this is the US congress. And after voting leave it for someone else to work on this and other "brilliant" idea. There needs to be a reality check. This poll doesn't mean anything unless there are enough people to spend time and energy at every level. But ya, lets setup a poll and have everyone vote, it will give everyone a feel good factor that everyone contributed in the advocacy effort, how? by voting in the pool and not doing anything about how everyone votes.

Sanju, I understand your cynicism but not sure how your scathing comments are helping the cause. Hurling insults is not how you motivate people, if at all that is your intention. If you are so disillusioned then step aside for a few weeks/months and just watch.
Keep in mind, I am not personally attacking you.

Yes it was stopped in 2007. But it still has its shadow. Back in India Did you leave in area where there was shortage of water? All I said is do not call them as jealous. They have valid grievances. If they want they can fight.
Profile is not needed for an educated guess. Any way I became a citizen last week.
from all your invalid and illogical posts, I fail to understand your real motive. Do you want us get divided and fight among ourselves? Hope not! With my limited understanding, what I realized in last 2 years is this: VISA RECAPTURE and RETROGRESSION aka discrimination based on country of birth are the biggest obstacles for those born in countries like India, china, Philippines and Mexico. (Do you want to say that it is okay to be descriminated for being born in one of those countries?) So it does make sense to address these 2 issues. If I have limited energy (read money & support for lobbying, campaign etc), I would spend it towards where it can benefit me most.
