I think most on here know that IV's central goal is to clear the backlog
However there are many underlying specifics to get to this goal
and i think that's what the members on here want to hear about.
for example
Re-capture of unused visa numbers
removing country specific limits
Automatically granting visa numbers to those who have waited 5 years or more
Increasing the total number of EB visa numbers
Allowing non-current people to file I-485 and get EAD

As you can see there are many different causes and many different solutions
What is IV advocating...which cause?...which solution?

StarSun, Pappu please don't take things personally. Not all members can go to DC or visit their state representatives. I am sure IV has many other needs. If we can identify and openly publish a list of things that are needed then we can certainly increase volunteers and participation

Btw...how do you join the state chapter?
The answers to many of the questions asked may be obvious for you since you are heavily involved with IV...but they are not obvious to a lot.

BharatPremi and other who have put lots of time and thought analyzing-
Can you talk a bit about ROW EB3. Do you think with PD MAY 2004, with EAD, AP on hand, should I try a new EB2 or stick with the old one?

I guess it is time to pack and go back, after seeing all these developments

Backlog Reduction... Wouldn't it be nice if all the People with PD before2003 decide to go back....

This is may case:

Trying to change her visa to a F1. Her I94 expires o Dec.20,2007.

Applied on May 28, 2010 Electronically
Approved on July 07, 2010.

Now I am working with attorney to file my I-140
I have 3 Years BS Degree in Electronics From Andhra University + 1 Year BS Degree in Computer Specialization from Andhra University.

Still I am kind of tense about my degree is considered as US equivalent degree. It accepted in H1-B, and EB-3 GC process. I am cross my figures until I get the decision from IO. I will give more updates later.

Frankly, the chances of getting an EB-2 I-140 approved with your educational background are very bleak to say the least. However, there are always exceptions and I hope you get lucky. Good luck, atleast your employer tried.

�Update on Rejection of June �Other Worker� Adjustment Applications and What This Means for July�.

I am manily concerned as USICS rejected the 485 petitions for "Other Worker s" last june ,they can also do the same now if they received huge number of applications ( 40K) in the first few days .

first name(not the shortened version) means "luminous/shiny".

His parents caught his aura at birth and named him appropriately.

sorry to sound like a beaten record - but it seems that everyone here pretty much sees citizenship as fait accompli!

how has our respective motherlands harmed us that despite being pushed around by US for years on end -we are desperately seeking US citizenship?? after all - in many cases - its the basic and advanced education received at our respective countries that has made us qualify as "highly skilled" immigrants here.....

go ahead - put all the red dots - but do some soul searching before that!

here is the first line of US citizenship oath - "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen" - while i can absolutely live in US as a law-abiding, tax-paying resident - how can i renounce my country of birth?

I respect your thoughts and to some extent I personally share them. The primary benefit of citizenship for me and I believe for many others posting on this thread would be to bring our aging parents to this country and to be able to live with them.

Just had a Q..if the last one in the list is a senator (Robert Menendez), should we ask him to support the house bills? no matter what, I already asked him to...

You got it. Sen Menendez is a key member. Even though there is NO companion bill in the senate right now, we need his support.

realizeit,

Please hold on to the member list on the 1st page. As I said, we do have a reason why we are going with that member list. We will move as we needed.

I called offices. Please make sure that this list is also addressed. I do not understand why IV is ignoring this bill?

I gave it to you because you deserve it. Hope you dont prove me wrong!

Anyway, you will understand my words some day. I don't expect that day to be today

Still I dont get it but I will agree on whatever you are saying because I dont see any wrong thing in your lecture.

thanks buddy, one day we all will be Green.

My passport is going to expire on 13th Sept, 2011. Any idea if I can renew my passport now, or do I have to wait till september,2010?

Thanks in advance.

Better to renew right away. You can renew up to 6 months before expire date.

"Also the EB queue needs to be considered while moving to the skill based one" - I don't know what you meant by this line but I am in no mood to restart my GC application (for which I have been waiting for the past 9 years) just because some genius (whoever that person was) woke up one morning and decided that all the applications need to be reformed into a points based system.

Of course we are all in the EB queues. I don't want to discuss details of any campaigns in the public forum. You could volunteer for this too and suggest your ideas to 'StarSun' and clear your doubts.

so here is a generic friendly email that can be sent out to your friends or to anyone who is interested. please feel free to edit:

Immigration Voice is a non-profit organization that is trying to help people like me stuck in the green card mess, and is trying to raise awareness and membership. Membership is FREE and takes a minute.
Please take a moment to register on their site at:
http://immigrationvoice.org/
Scroll to the left margin halfway down to register.
Please be assured you will get NO spam mail.

What does this do for you?
1. First, you get a warm feeling in your heart because you are helping half a million people simply by registering, since we lobby senators and congressmen by telling them how many registered members are interested in pushing our bills. Numbers count with lawmakers.
2. You will learn enough about immigration issues to qualify as a paralegal simply from reading the forum. Option for a second career for you.
3. You have the opportunity to write off any charitable contributions, should you decide to make them to IV.
4. Your economy, and consequently Social Security system, Medicare, Medicaid and city is better off for helping legal, tax-paying and high-skilled people like us to stay on in your country. Special benefit for baby boomers who will retire shortly and fear the SS system will end. It will not since immigrants are a large source of revenue for this system, and none of us can avail of these benefits, so we will help support you in your old age.

Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be even remotely interested, including journalists, lawmakers, attorneys, businesses and of course individuals.

thanks in advance for registering (FREE) on our site.


Thank you, NYCGAL!!!
One additional thought is, if you feel that you can be more persuasive in person, please talk to the person and convince him of the good that IV is doing.

In fact, I would suggest that we email and then follow it up with a phone call.

Everyone, please try to add ONE Member by December 31st!!!

Thanks.

Where would I be able to find a USCIS approved physcian??..I think you need to get some kind of letter from him??..
Plz tell me how to locate??..any web site links

Here is the link:

https://egov.immigration.gov/crisgwi/go;jsessionid=cxFY_8R7Zuo7?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV

Enter your zip code and find the doctor. Once the medical exam is done, the physician will give you two medical reports, an open one for you and a sealed report for USCIS you should submit with your 485 documents

i thought same as u in that apprval has to be by 31 july, however my lawyer says i can file if approved 1 to 16 aug. confusing as heck


It's debatable...the announcement from USCIS says anyone whose priority date is current as of July 2007...One way of interpreting is anyone who filed as of July 31, your priority date is current as of July 2007. But in order to file concurrent 140 and 485, you have to have your labor approved. This is why people who are stuck at BEC's cannot file since they don't have their approval yet even though they filed long back. This is just my 2 cents. You can find lawyers who agree on this and disagree, it's one of the gray areas....I'm in the same situation, waiting for my PERM from Atlanta..filed in Feb. If I get my approval before Aug 17th, I plan to file.

My online status (and my wife's) changed from "Initial review" to "Card/ Document Production". Is this where the road ends?

My PD is 02/14/2006. I-485 receipt date was Oct-2007.

Thanks.

congrats..

which center ??

is it NSC...

I have mine sent on 05/06 and receipt notice date on 5/12, routed to NSC. checks encashed after that no update. One soft LUD on 06/07.


Anyone with the above dates and NSC provide me with their updates.

thank you

add to that aman's lost bags and cell phone and constant attempts to call akhil to retrieve his wallet...poor akhil arrived back huffing and puffing and in mortal panic...later we discovered we had his home phone number and had been leaving messages on it for 2 days...and wondering why in the world he would not pick his phone up!


It was a unique situation.........
me and my wife were coming back from a lawmakers meeting and found that Aman was waiting for his wallet as the luggage was in my car...........

while walking fast she scratched her ankle badly and was not able to walk properly............ so i made her sit at an intersection and ran towards the hotel............ then had to rush back to get her, as i had asked to her wait at an intersection....

was fun and by the time i reached back i was like all huffed/puffed up and she was laughing at me...........

You have consistently abused me and other members on this thread who tried to talk sense and call us really nasty names. i will not stoop to your standards of language.
You have proven by your lack of knowledge and filthy language that you do not have the common sense to have a meaningful conversation.
Hope you get the therapy you need really soon...otherwise I feel worried for the people around you who are exposed to your violent and abusive behavior.

Glad you finally realized it.
No one has doubted your effors till now

Yes, and pappu actually works actively for IV provisions and guides us, instead of complaining and making senseless NOISE like you are.
Yes and i am making a point that he is in a minority

I thought you did not believe in name-calling. Looks like you change your opinions and stance as per your convenience and frustrations.
Who started it.from now onwards you will get what you give

This is an empty claim created by you alone due to your paranoia. Its all inside your head. Again.. empty vessels make lot of noise
Now that statement that empty vessels make more noise is itself indicative of your ego and how bloated it is and how superior you feel w.r.t others

Very mature, my friend. Hope you get the good sense to stop abusing folks here and actually doing some good for the overall EB cause. Stop spreading these conspiracy theories and fears..we all have enough on our hands already. You DO NOT represent EB3 here. You are just a frustrated and embarassed person trying to hide behind your username and venting out against some hypothetical problem you have created in your head.

When will you get it into your head that no one (least of all me) is abusing folks here. I would assume that that a sane person would recognize the fact that a section of EB folks are falling through the cracks and i would certainly not expect you to even recognize this fact because you are EB2. So if a person tries to discuss about something related to EB he is frustrated and embarrassed but when IV talk to USCIS about EB backlog you are Advocating and Lobbying. Now that is the best example of Hippocratcy i ever saw. (How on the earth did you come up with that reasoning)

Please get some help. And spare us another 1000 word essay. I think we have heard enough. Find another place to get some therapy.
The person who has no more valid argument and keeps denigrating the other person who is trying to present the point of view needs some help. Just because you say so does not mean anything. You do not have any argument so you have to fall back on something ridiculous. I empathize with you and feel sorry for you.
And how many times do i have to say this a 1000 words essay is respecting your point of view you bigoted idiot. That means how ever mean and bigoted your comments are how much ever i disagree with you I am replying to your arguments point to point. Now god knows you are are a stupid bigoted person but if i am making an effort to reply to you point by point the least you can do is be civil but i am asking too much

To provide some hope to fellow EB3 I filers... USCIS's magic work two of our colleagues with EB3 I, got greened while PD was in "U" status. I am sure some you witnessed same.

1- 2008 (PD: 2002)
1- 2009 (PD: 2003)

Hello,

Congratulations to all those who have been approved ... now that you are greened, please donate to IV either as a one time donation to celebrate your new status or even better, start monthly donation... :)
