WASHINGTON � While lawmakers try to compromise on a border control measure, President Bush is heading West on Tuesday to campaign for his guest worker initiatives as part of an immigration overhaul.

Bush will visit a Border Patrol training center in New Mexico and a sector headquarters in Texas. Immigration reform is a hot-button issue in both of the border states.

While the president is on the road, members of Congress are trying to reconcile differing bills on the immigration issue. The Senate measure includes a version of Bush's guest worker program, while the House bill focuses solely on tougher border enforcement.

Countdown: 23 More days to go (Incl. today)

Details: Support Thread for "I485 filing w/o Curr. PD" initiative (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/2243885-post2.html)

My daugther's date of birth is 03/18/1988. We filed I-485 together in 02,June 2007. We all recieved I-140 approval and I-485 receipt.

I would like to know whether my daughter will age out in 03/18/2009 or 03/18/2010?.Your daughter will NOT aged out. We filed 485 and 140 1 mo before our son 21-st birthday, got GC 3 years later.

Does anyone have any idea why the recurring contribution link is down???:confused:

not sure.. but while you are waiting ...

can you please send web faxes to all the states???
we need another 200 faxes to make our target for the day.

thank you

May be we can also try to reduce the retirement benefit age from 65 (or may be 67, or 70 I really don't know, whatever it is) 60. That will be tremendous help for early retirement. What do you say Mr/Mrs. Saralayar?

Why are you people so full of anger? I mean, it's one thing to be angry about something and another to direct your anger at someone else who doesn't deserve it. Saralayar brought up an issue he / she deems important. You might not agree but what's with all this ugly bile?

Seems fishy - what is the reason for this? Push hard for filing 485.

I haven't open any SR with USCIS , but some folks mention that when they open SR they get standard reply to wait for 30 days. With visa dates going back and forth, customer should open SR as early as month start so if dates remain current for atleast two month they can get some reply. If you wait till end of month and then open SR and if USCIS ask for 30 days and date retrogress , I bet you next reply will be No visa available.

Service requests should have a wait time of 3 months or 6 months.
If you make it 5 days, people will open one every 5 days and jam the system. The speed of approvals is slow because everyone is calling, opening service requests, lawyer request, Senator request etc etc every day. Visa officer may be responding to service requests everyday coming from customer service than actually opening a file and making it ready for approval.

Common sense is missing in people.

Got CPO email yesterday at 5:00pm EDT.

right. in the AILA call also they cautioned that retrogression will become worse (dates moving back!) once USCIS starts processing all those July/August filers...

Once USCIS completes data entry of all 800K 485s (may be with in next month) they will have clear picture. They may give a report to DOS, how many waiting in each catagory (EB1,2,3) with PD with countrywise break out. Then DOS will easily setup the cutoff dates. This may happen in Jan or Feb.

I feel that EB3 India may stay like this (in 2001). EB2 India may go back to 2003 or 2002 , based on how many guys in EB3 with PD 2002, 2003 converts to EB2. All other countries may see slight forward movement.

Bump /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

It took 3 months for my Perm (EB2).

we_can

It was an very informative chat on Friday. Looking forward for the next session.

Thanks to all the contributors and participants.

Can you please let me know , CURRENTLY how long labor thru perm is taking to get approved.
Earlier it used to get approved in few days.
I am looking at how much time it is taking currently to get approved.
Awaiting for responses.

Total people that have signed up till now is : 154

We have a lot of ground to cover and only 154 members have shown commitment.

The whole retrogression is very depressing if you were to look at numbers and predictions based on the numbers. This is the reason we need to work harder and contribute our time and money for this effort. If we cannot do it this year, then we can easily forget getting a greencard for the next 2 years and more. There will be no immigration bill next year due to presidential election.

This is all the more reason for us to go all out and get the immigration bill passed this year itself. We need all members to help in this effort. We have a strong membership of around 8500 members we can count on for support. However it is sad that only 154 members have thus far contributed in the past 1 week despite all the effort to raise funds. IV is prepared to go all out and get the work done, the question is ARE YOU?

I think we are not reaching all the ppl that we can as of yet. If we can setup booths in front of Indian Community centers in various cities, post flyers at Indian grocery stores etc, we would be able to reach a much wider audience. I think we might be reaching the maximum number of ppl that would contribute who are browsing this web site. No amount of requests would get non-contributers to contribute. So, probably the efforts should be concentrated on getting newer members from outside...

please give me a link or a web site. You see I have lost touch.

On thomas the link always goes to a temporary search listing which cannot be replicated. So here is how you get to it.

go to

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_110_1.htm

click on H.R. 2 which is on 2nd row.

then click on "Amendments" and find SA187

Now this page show that it was agreed to. Also the link to the page is shown.

I am also a unlucky victim of labor backlogs. The details of my child are given below. It is imperative, for the sake of our children's future and welfare, that all of us join forces to make the lawmakers to amed the CSPA so that it benefits our children. They should not be made to struggle for no fault of theirs.

1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live : Virginia
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5): EB3
4. Your Country of Origin (CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIPPINES or OTHER):India
5. Your Child's Date of Birth: 12/21/1985

7. Date Visa was available: Not Yet
8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification: 1/29/07
9. Date I-140 was sent :3/7/2007
10. Date I-140 was approved: 3/13/2007
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)I-485 pending. RD 6/7/07


I do not know if I am doing something against the rules of this forum, please excuse if I am. I am just a father trying to do something to protect his daughter; but I know that there are many other children who are or were under similar circunstances. I am not a lawyer. My wife, my daughter and I went to talk to our Representative Moran and our Senator Webb, but they are interested in numbers, cases, especially Virginia residents; but I think that this is something national. We (my family, I and anyone who wants to join us) can go to the office of the Leader of the Senate Majority or the House or to the office of any other committe leader and give them a letter showing numbers and cases, real families that are suffering and requiring them to do something about it. If you agree, I would suggest to prepare a small database with all the cases that we know, then prepare a letter and send it to the Congress leaders.

I think that we would need the following information:
1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5)
4. Your Country of Origin (CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIPPINES or OTHER)
5. Your Child's Date of Birth
6. Your Case Priority Date
7. Date Visa was available
8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification
9. Date I-140 was sent
10. Date I-140 was approved
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)

Please let me know if that is ok for you, we can use this forum to collect the info or I can provide my email account or phone number, either way is ok for me. Thanks for your understanding.
