Friends,

For all those who are from India or believe in the Hindu gods and are ready to offer a prayer for Mehul.

Here is a link --> http://www.geocities.com/siddhaashram/Mahamrityunjaya.htm

Read it about 108 times on his behalf preferrably on Monday or you can do it 11 times until December 8th as this is an auspicious month for Lord Shiva.

Good luck Mehul. I also sent you a PM.

Hmm, urs is a unique case, but as far as i can tell u need to have FP done, that is the process, your lawyers may be able to help, have u contacted them?
Paper filing is fine and its not slow, usually paper filers dont get FP notices.

I did contact my lawyer. They have put in a SR but that's not helping. I was hoping the EAD renewal will kick it but looks like paper based doesn't kick it..
Argh!! This waiting game seems helpless..
Thanks for replying though :)

Please create link to main page So that everyone can access easily.

Well she suggested that she had scheduled the FP appointment and said that I should be getting my FP notices in 30 days.

I am hoping that its the truth !!

If your case is in TSC then it means that they have submitted the request to schedule you. That does not mean that they have scheduled you.

But for any other center, it maybe true that they scheduled the FP for you because I have read the previous posts of people getting it within 30 days for other centers.

GC Status:

I am seeing that reedandbamboo is considering for EB2 only. We have to include EB3 too for law-suit. I beleive that we will have more than 1000 people if we inlcude all categories.

I will give 200$( 100$ for me and 100 $ for my wife)


MY LETTER addresses the situation with the visa bulletin using EB2 as an EXAMPLE! I want them to scrutinise their visa bulletin setting technique for EVERYONE but I'm highlighting with a specific example.

The lawsuit, in the event that the letter is ineffective (more likely than not.. but still worthwhile starting with) is for EVERYONE.

FOIA may be. Btw can you add a poll to this thread to see forum support?

Is suing the only option? USCIS could be making unintended mistake. We want to get clarification in a smoother and faster process before the flood gates open in October.

There should be some other legal-process to get written clarifications/interpretation etc on the law (like some kind of AILA discussion with CIS).

How about we ask our lawyers to contribute for this event?

Done...
I am not sure what our target is but I have mentioned that I will monitor this thread for 2 days and depending on the number of people interested, we can set the limit and per person contribution. Lemme you if you have a better idea.
BTW I pledge $100

I have arranged to send the flowers so they reach USCIS on 10 July.
Incidentally, there was a townhall meeting with Senator Bob Casey in Pittsburgh. Thankfully i got to speak with him and personally put forth our story of endless waits for a greencard. Am not sure if it will genrate any tangible action from his end, but it certainly drew attention of the public present there, his staff and mostly importantly the Senator's mindshare.

Let's keep this effort on..

Congrats to all you guys who got their Cards, I am happy for you lot! I am EB-3 ROW, with Dec 06 so it will still be a long long time for me. Wish you guys all the best and keep posting here please!

I am shocked to see this thread. All my prayers are with you and your family. As other members suggested, I strongly recommend you to do PRANAYAMA everyday. If possible try to consult any Yoga Teacher.

W.r.t to your question I recommend to you talk to attorney.

Consulting Company, but does it make a difference? FYI, We attached my client's letter with the application.

Is it for direct employee or consulting company?

i-140 Approved by NSC

My I140 was approved at California center and my 485 is sent to Nebraska on june 22. Is that a problem?

I think IV core shud take the matter with USCIS or the concerned people.

Yes, case was originally filed at NSC on July 2nd and on august 24th it got transferred to TSC.

Does the transfer matter here, because dingudi's case is not a transfer case and he's still waiting...

I am in the same boat. 485 filed at NSC on July 12, sent to TSC on September 7th. EAD/AP filed on Aug 9 at NSC and they are still in NSC.
I have AP approved and EAD pending. No FP notice yet either. Its been more than 45 days since opening a SR for that for both me and my wife. System sucks. I have been to the local ASC 3 times with no results.

Again I am not sure if the fact that my 485 is in TX and EAD/AP is in NE is cauing all the problems.

Did you all see Donald Trumps answer to Piers Morgans question in Piers Morgan tonight program on CNN? that was not a surprise, but after his talk about China and India, that was a bit surprising.

What question and answer?

Sorry for my French guys...I generally dont like to use bad words, but this Charles Oppenheim boils my blood...

Look at all his previous statements...I dont know under what kind of influence he makes his statements...

He has BSed us in the past (look at his prior statement that he made in VEGAS) ....

Now he is BSing us again....

And we take his words seriously and start another set of arguments....

God bless every one; I need to calm down now. If possible please ignore this Oppehemi guy; he is just another joker.

Amit,
Can you post the template of the email you are sending to the reporters.

Flowers to Convey Hopes and Concerns of Skilled, Legal Immigrants
July 9, 2007
What
Hundreds of legal, highly-skilled workers, who feel disappointed by the recent "flip-flop" enacted by the Department of State (DoS) and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), with regards to eliminating the Green-Card processing delays, plan to send flowers to the USCIS Director, Emilio Gonzalez as a part of a symbolic and peaceful protest.
Where
The flowers are scheduled to be delivered to his office at 20 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington D.C. through various flower vendors.
When
July 10th, 2007.
Why
With this effort, they hope to create awareness about their predicament and express their anguish and frustration at the reversal and the lack of action from the Government. These are the highly skilled workers who have been driving the innovation in the US for many decades and have been living in this country legally and yet, they feel that their issues, concerns and contributions to the economy have largely gone unnoticed.
There are 140,000 Green cards allocated for highly-skilled workers and their dependents in a fiscal year (unused visas may not be rolled over to the next year). However, due to over-subscription, thousands of highly-skilled workers, including engineers, scientists, MBAs and health care professionals have been waiting patiently for years in order to be eligible to apply for their Green cards.
On June 13th, 2007, DoS provided a glimmer of hope to these aspiring legal immigrants, by announcing in their visa bulletin that all Employment-based green card applicants and their dependents would be eligible to apply for their Green cards, during the month of July 2007. Following this announcement, most of these future Americans and their sponsoring businesses, began a scramble to compile the documents and complete medical examinations required for their applications. After overcoming several hurdles and enduring hardships, these applicants eagerly waited for July 2, 2007 to send out their applications to the USCIS. However, to their dismay, the DoS, in an unprecedented move, issued an addendum to the visa bulletin, on the very day that the USCIS should have begun accepting their applications, stating that all available visa numbers for the current fiscal year had been used up and that no new applications would be accepted.
This sudden reversal has resulted in emotional distress and financial losses for these individuals and businesses.
Now, these highly-skilled professionals have decided to call attention to the "broken" immigration system in the U.S. for legal immigrants, by sending flowers to the USCIS Director, Emilio Gonzalez. They request that the USCIS honor the original visa bulletin and accept applications received through the month of July. In addition, they hope to encourage the U.S. Government to create more fool-proof immigration policies for the forthcoming year or at the least pass a legislation allowing the continual use of unused employment-based immigrant visa numbers from previous years.
Dilip Tekkedil who came to the US in 1998 for graduate studies and is still waiting for his green card hopes to send a simple message with this campaign – “fix the system”, he says. On various online discussion forums, most skilled, legal immigrants want to send this message to USCIS and more broadly to the US lawmakers – “I understand that your agency does all it can to do the best job. I hope you empathize with a legal immigrant's frustration. A small token of peaceful symbolic act and hoping for the best.”
Media Contact: This symbolic protest largely grew out of grassroots discussion on various forums on the website hosted by the group Immigration Voice. Some volunteers who work with Immigration Voice have been loosely directing this event.

All:

I received an email on 8-8 saying card production ordered and on 8-9 about the welcome kit.

My PD is April 2 2004 EB2 (US educated for the idiot who tried to divide us b/w US and non US educated)

As a token of appreciation - I have contributed $100 to IV just now.Receipt ID: 1467-8132-5592-9911. Request all of those who get GC this month to contribute some $ amount. Although I was not very active in the forums I have contributed at least $400 to this cause and I will do the same in the future. Please do not try to divide b/w EB3 EB2 US educated etc. which I am noticing lately.

WE REALLY NEED TO HELP OUR EB3 FRIENDS. PLEASE CONTRUBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR ATLEAST. I HAVE NOTICED THE MOMENT THEY GET GC THEY FORGET THE PAST DIFFICULTIES AND MOVE ON WHICH IS FINE. BUT IF POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR.


great spirit buddy keep it up and thanks
