My EAD renewal is pending as well - RD 6/18 - present EAD expiring on 9/25. I requested expediting processing on 8/13 and received a letter yesterday saying they are reviewing my request and will have a decision in 60 days : :rolleyes:

We CANNOT do any thing, when I called USCIS, IO said they can't do either.. wait for 60 days. BS

So, while we are amusing ourselves:

How about ancestoral property?
How about skymiles?
Number of children?

how about based on salary?

everybody maximize their own utility.

Sanhari,

If GCs were sold in stores I would buy you and your family a bunch of them.
You are in the EB3 category, do you ever wonder why somebody who is more educated than you or me, makes more money? Can we say, hey you I was born in 1890 I should make more money, it does not fly, EB3 is not a reflection on your skills but more the job you hold.

The question you should ask is why have EB1, 2, 3, etc?

Why do you not include the family based categories, isn't family first, why not the EB spill over to to FB first then whatever trickles down comes to EB, is not this fair? I am sure there are a lot in the FB queue who have waited for longer than you. Now dont tell you you are better than FB because you are highly skilled, pay taxes, etc.


You signed up for this knowing what was in store.
You think writing a letter or starting up a thread is going to help?

I just wonder, is IV some kind of therapy? something like weightwatchers,
maybe we should call ourselves GCWatchers, for frustrated GC folks from India.

Tell me this, are your bosses fools to sponsor you in EB3, do they not know it will take years? No they are not, ask yourself why?

India is shining, not a bad proposition at all.

Mr. Paraya Desi

I request you to mind your language. What you say displays a complete lack of understanding about the system

It is not that they want the "most qualified" or "most brilliant" FIRST, and the rest later. As an example, if your toilet broke down and you have an urgent need to use it, would you welcome a beautiful girl knocking on your door, or a plumber. It is like this. It is a question of WHAT the COUNTRY needs, not who is made of gold

Therefore dont think you are as an EB2 more (or less) entitled to anything, and correct the "faltu" ideas in your brain

"Mind my language", clearly this must be a case of lost in translation. I am not entitled more or less, IV can close shop today, I did not come to the USA because there was EB1/2/3 or IV fighting my battles, enjoy your journey. Stop whining, there are millions of Americans suffering, don't tell me just because you know java you are better than them.
We human beings have established a certain world order
Why is tougher to get through EB1?
Why does your boss make more money than you?
Why does a certified plumber cost more?
Why do men go after a pretty girl? shouldn't the ugly one get attention as much attention?
Why Katrina Kaif is sought after not Nandita Das?
Why does a person with a 770 credit score get lower interest?

Why why why?

Oh BTW, if your toilet broke down, do not panic, shut your door tight get some air freshner, and then you could consider the pretty girl.
And if my toilet broke down, I will hire a plumber for an hour to fix it, I will not let the plumber move into a room in my house.
What are you expecting? You want IV to get you salvation?

Look, there is no compulsion, you don't like the system, it ain't going to upset anybody if you take the steamer to Bombay tonight.


BTW I just noticed, you are the great EB2 with Feb08 priority date. This reminds me of the saying: Zindagi jhand hei. itna sa l*nd hei PHIR BHI itna ghamand
And for your information I am enjoying my journey very very much, but not by writing sadistic comments in forums. I have a life. You understand what "life" is?

I have a question reg. the unfair vertical spill devised by USCIS when allocating the visa numbers after the initial allocation is completed.

If the country needs EB1 categories first then the EB2 categories and then EB3 then why did they allocate equal numbers to all the three categories initially. If they needed more EB1 or EB 2 compared to EB 3 numbers they should have given 3x of numbers to EB1, 2x of numbers to EB2, and only 1x or less than that to EB3 when doing the initial allocation itself.

Its only due to some genius person's invention that USCIS decided to implement vertical spill over instead of doing a hoirzontal spill over of the numbers which will be fair.

Now the EB2 folks are going to comeback and say that EB2 deserve more rights and all that blah blah aka the fight people give whenever somebody tries to remove the unfair quota system in India. Grow up and behave like an educated person.

You can say that EB2 folks earn more... give me a break I know many EB3 folks who earn atleast 2 times more than whan an average EB2 guy earns. Its just a matter of luck(in the current scenario) that a person got applied in EB2 or EB3 category

You are taking it personally, this is not a question of you being skilled, deserving, fair skinned, blue eyed, or hairless. Why not all the spillover to to the family based gcs?
Think of it, uniting families is more important for a nation.

Why do you think even in the FB there are categories, how come there is not a quota for spouses of US citizens?

You are either not qualified for EB2 or your job is not qualified for EB2, now whose fault is it? Again, its not how much you earn, it is not how lucky you are. The EB category was not some boon, your HR manager, your lawyer, your manager came together and made the decision, last but not least your agreed to all this. EB2 is not some elitist club, you are welcome to join it, go talk to your HR manager, he controls the membership.

Everyone getting receipt notices, and not coming to the rally, (not coming to the rally -most on tracker threads), please at least consider contributing to the rally once you get your notice or FP done or get EAD!. The rally cost is huge and we can do much more if people can contribute generously.

We helped you get to the stage so that everyone can file I485s. It pains us in the core team see how our members who used to tell us all the time to at least allow them to file I485 and then they will wholeheartedly take part and support IV have turned their backs on us now. With our work and victory in Visa bulletin fiasco, we even answered people who used to ask us for our achievements before they could contribute.

Now it is your opportunity to deliver.

"There goes my people, I must follow them."

I may sound some what negative here but I am not trying to diminish the IV plat form for all the folks here.Yes, it is just "about us" only... what "IV core" did so far is vague....flower campaign and this current FOIA requests started randomly by the individuals thinking collectively.... I don't think it is started by IV core team as an "ACTION" item in the first place.

sk2006, could you please share more details ?? like when exactly you got card production email , when u got approval notice email and when exactly u received physical GC.


sk2006 -- can u shed some light on above please?

Sent the email to 10+ 2 senators as mentioned
Thanks

By now you should have had your EAD and AP in hand - after FP was done. What was the reason for the delay? Most of these cases got FP notices within 4 weeks of Aug 17th.

I have mentioned IV to a some Indians. They have no interest. Some of them are not bothered about retrogression. They exepect the GC to fall in their lap while they are sipping tea and eating samosa.

Also, it is hard to trust a mainly Indian set up. The Indian contracting companies have set a very shameless level. I told my friends that IV appears different but it is hard to change your opinion when you see something else 10 times a day.

I apolozie to the sensitive Indians if I this is breaking news. But this is the general feeling and a reason for hate in the blogs: where there is smoke there is fire. It is embarassing.
I agree completely. Sometimes you pay the price for unethical and arrogant natives from your motherland. I know of someone who thinks he is smarter than people of any other nationality.

But I like your nickname. I wear that as a badge of honor. :)

I'm in very similar situation. My dates were available for June as well. My HR/Attorneys did this long and painful bureaucratic process. We have an internal website which says that my case was �filed� on Jun-29th. Don�t know what the fuck that means. Whether it was sent on 29th or received on 29th? Couldn�t get HR to answer.Don�t have direct communication lines with Attorneys... If it�s sent on 29th, does USCIS take packages on Saturday or Sunday? If they take only on Monday, will they throw it out because it reached in July? Oh well, just have to wait and see...

exactly the same situation as mine. Attorney was an A#%$%OLE.. gave all documentation on first day of june, and the sucker filed it on June29th reaching USCIS on july 2nd.

yea...you are right...it seems they are not processing anything today..

Also i heard that on June 4 th approx 1100 485 apps was receipted. That makes it approx a total of 1800 for jun 1 and 4.

Thanks austin123 !!!

Hello BRIT_GS

Was your I-140 applied in Premium Processing?

@desi3933:
This comment was then obviously was not directed to you but to others who advise to "file AC21."


Thanks, Sankap, for the clarification. Because, in this post you have addressed that post to me and asked me this as #7. Here is that post again -


@desi3933:

1. ....

7. Since you're *not* required to inform USCIS on your job changes, why "file AC21" (and stir things), or advise people to do so?




Please show me any of my post where I have advised people to file for AC-21.

Leo,

Just so that we are clear, please note that signing online petitions doesn't mean anything if there is no matching advocacy. Timing of the activity is also very important. In the end, advocacy and grassroots effort must compliment each other at the same time. The website you are referring is an advertisement website. Its not a resource for serious advocacy effort.

The Congress is right now focused on DREAM Act. If we just say "Erase Green card backlog", it will mean nothing. But there is a chance if we send specific targeted message asking to include specific provisions in the bill that appear to be moving (i.e. DREAM Act in this case), and IV is complimenting this message with the advocacy on the ground.

Just sending random email from some online advertisement for profit website does not mean anything. We think that some of these websites are just collecting your Email and Home Address, which they could sell for making profit.

Immigration Voice would like to request its all members not to send out random messages from advertisement websites because such messages are out of sink with reality. Please participate in the well defined and targeted 'Action Items' on IV.

Team IV

These best and brightest people are idiots. On other website they blindly doing. Shows lack of brains. If sending email will get greencard, then all lobbyist to stop business and only run email company.

Thanks a lot Rajeev and coolpal.

Come on folks lets help IV, to get things done for US.

IV is I/WE.

GO IV GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

Where the hell all these guys when EB3 is getting 80K to 100K of total 140K visas all these years and EB2 is getting just merely 10%-15%. Nobody from EB2 didn't felt jealous like this before. It is hard to digest for them now.

When EB3 was getting 100K visas in past, it wasn't EB3-I. It was all 265i applicants who took all those numbers and EB3-I was still getting only 3000 visas everyyear (except 2007 bcoz of Jul fiasco).

Thats why EB3-I is retrogressed so heavily.
