That doesn't mean nothing is being done. I am continuing to do a lot of work on this, but there is nothing new to post right now.
To date I have been able to get every newspaper in the country to do stories on this, as well as three scathing editorials in the NY Times, LA Times, and Mercury News, all of which slammed the government for its action.
I have worked with the staff of a member of Congress to ensure that house representatives were aware of the issue.
As a result, the house of representatives unanimously passed the HEART Act giving stimulus payments to affected soldiers overseas.
I have been able to get an important legal organization to review and research the topic for possible litigation.
I would love to go over the legal details with you, but it is not prudent to give too much detail here right now.
And finally, I have been corresponding with immigrants like you providing advice and updates on the situation.
I am not sure what more you expect.
You have been doing a great job. Please keep it up. Have a nice weekend and relax.

140 reached NSC on July 11.
Receipt date is July 17, attorney says they got it today, July 24.
So for those at NSC who filed within a day or two of me, mght be better to hold off for a couple of days before filing 485 with the colored sheet which will probably add some delays in the mailroom

I am not sure if it is only me.....but many times I see strangers wishing me or each other morning, evening...."how u doing" ,,,etc....
but Indians (I am also an Indian -:) are a little reserved....I do not see a greeting from fellow Indians that easily.....again I am not saying Indians are bad (cause I too am one -;)
maybe it is a culture thing for us not to greet strangers ?
PS - I have had my share of experience where non-Indians are also sometime rude me to me .....
mommy told me not to talk to strangers :p

I had an august 2004 labor that USCIS erroneously predatd on my 2006 August I-140. A couple of years ago when 2004 Aug was current, I followed up and was then told that I should never have been given the 2004 date as no I-140 was filed for it..and told, So, sorry about it...but please keep waiting for the priority date.
a USCIS mistake that they corrected after 2 years ....lots of frustration for me....

Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.
Is this an estimate for EB or for all green card applications? Because I absolutely do not believe this is the number. There is just no about H1Bs issued to produce this number.

I would give some days to Attendees and particularly to IV core team to analyze the rally events, meetings in their entirty and come up with the conclusions mainly for 3 things. And I request everybody to funnel data to core team centrally and the same way conclusion and future action list funnelled to members.
- What we could REALLY achieve
- How loud we could be heard
- Any potential and positive impact in near future?
- Based on all of above making near future strategy
Note: One thing I want to bring everybody's attention that from November Elections will slowly be given priority by every media and so we may have to come up with careful strategy not having any conflict with election realted major events.
We look forward to guidance from Core!

If your case is EB2 worthy. It makes a lot of sense. I have many friends who did that and they have their GCs now. While I'm rotting in this mess... my fault: I didn't convert to EB2 which I could have.
dude,
How would one decide if the conversion has merits? In my case, I have EB3(I) PD of 2003. In the past 5 years, I've gained progressive experience thru my job. Is there any benchmarks or guidelines on when to convert from EB3 to EB2?
Thanks,
GCisaDawg

A little hesitant initially but it all went quite well. She took the message, name and the location I was calling from. Took less than a minute and the lady was super nice.
GO IV GO!
I have been a contributor for quite some time and this was the only thing which was missing (HESITANCY TO CALL) and I am glad I am over that too. There is no reason not to make the call friends. GO FOR IT. It really feels awesome after the call.
.................................................. .....
$370 + $50 recurring.
Called the congressman's office and spoke a nice lady. She took down the bill numbers, my name and zipcode and told me that she will pass the message along. She was very friendly and it took me less than a minute to call.
Those who have not called yet, please do.

I think I know how this works. They would outsource this program to some govt contractor (or ask the govt contractor who is working on their data ) to produce that report which costs (<10$ worth of time/effort, if they have all the data).
If all they want is money ..so be it. I am ready to pony up $50 for this,if we all approach together. But as someone suggested country of chargability is a must.

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
If you have an approved visa (I-140) and 3 years exp then you can apply for adjustment of status (I-145) . Because of the virtue of your 3 years of US work exp you are exempt from the availability of visa numbers (quota). Labor doesnt come into play here, you still have to have an approved I-140.
This is my understanding and I don't think this amendment will see the daylight.

please be constructive in your role, we can use your energy and enthusiasm, but an attitude of engagement is critical rather than asking why iv core is not doing this or that.....
Thanks Paskal,
I will....and get some work done like setting up the IV-NE yahoogroups, crafting the initial pitch for nebraska members , and get some members recruited etc and will take it from there.
My only point is, this 1% of active members can politely direct others to state chapters , notwithstanding the frustrating attitude of some of the "Highly skilled"- arm chair critics.

Also stop siding with this MC guy as he seems to be no good.

Dear Pappu
The initiative and effort you and other administrators doing at Immigration voice is commendable. As I have taken up new job only recently i am not able to make it for the advocacy day at Washington. But I had contributed for the advocacy day seperate and the confirmation number is Transaction ID: 8PU10373M6541872R.
Thanks again for all your time and effort.

Anyone else having problem or I am the only one?
I worked with Fragomen for my GC and H-1B application. I didn't had any complaints/issues with them. They followed up with me (twice) for renewing EAD & AP, but I went ahead and did it on my own. One thing I've observed though with Fragomen is their administrative office makes a number of mistakes sometimes. Like for me, I got invoices in error a number of times which when I worked with my attorney were taken care of. Also, on their client portal I noticed my receipt numbers were erroneously entered, which when I reported to them were corrected. I guess that could happen in any law firm. Overall my experience was good!

I think SKIL/CIR etc are all carrots for the "would be" immigrants to slog their ass off - ultimately, American Congress will only do something if
A. There is enough pressure from Business community to enact a change.
B. Persistent efforts by organization like Immigration Voice in educating the lawmakers and using lobbyists like QG&A to get our voices heard.
We have a legitimate cause but we have to use the right "modus operandi". We need each of the members of IV to go back and talk to their HR/Legal/Managers/VPs/CIOs etc to ensure that our voices are heard. Immigration Voice needs corporate backing and you can help here - make your employers aware of Immigration Voice and retrogression. Ask your employers to contact the Congressmen and Senators of your state on your behalf.
We need a legislative reform and the only way to achieve it is to make your voices heard and your opinion count.

When will EB3 ROW become current, or current for YOU? The answer would be different depending on your exact question.
Without administrative and legislative changes, the answer to number one is "a very long time" and I think I'd be safe to say that is a conservative estimate. For the record, I'm also EB3 ROW, with a PD of early 2004. I would say that would be current in 3 or 4 years
There are roughly 200 countries in the world. It is very simple maths to figure out that 200 * 9800 (the 7% limit per country) = about 1,960,000. Its pretty obvious that this is much more than the limit of 140,000 total per annum.. and you begin to see why there is a problem. Sure - each country has a 7% theroetical limit, but not EVERY country will use that in a year. Of ROW countries, UK is pretty close to its 7% per year. Others, like Lichenstein are not (or they would all be in the US and the country would not be just one big vacation home)
Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
