These are great points. They have helped me compile a list of issues and possible solutions.
Someone sent me a PM with a personal story that I thought exemplified some of the frustrations faced by skilled immigrants. I am going to include that story with my handout. If you have a strong story to tell about the broken system, feel free to PM me. You do not need to include any identifying information, but the story should be impactful. Remember this session is all about educating people who have influence.
One last point. One person mentioned about the proposal to offer green cards to immigrants who buy houses. This is a non-issue because if the backlog of greencards was cleared, many of those people would buy houses. I am sure many GC aspirants will not buy houses because they are uncertain if they will be here long enough to benefit.

One small correction,it is DOS instead of DOL.
DOS or DOL, the logic they apply for setting the dates in the VB is LOL.

so, you are saying dates in eb2 moved because, few of the eb2 folks showed up in DC. I think its time for you to up your medication...
This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:
How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?
I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.
We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.

PlainSpeak

Going back to the original subject of discussion - before the thread got hijacked by plainspeak and some really divisive and dangerous viewpoints - I just wanted to say I completely agree with Goodintentions and the post below. Thanks for the observations - certainly helps newer members who are getting used to the idea of meeting congressional offices. This bill helps all EB and we should be all for it and any other piecemeal bills coming up in the new Congress
Mr gc_dream2009
You can decide that i am wrong and you have the right to do that and that is the beauty of a discussion.
For my benefit can you point out the views and statements of mine which were divisive and dangerous.

nice posters (soft copy only...authorized by IV....we can print in our local areas) to be placed in Grocery shops (mainly Indian stores mostly they accept) to attract new and inactive members to participate/contribute to this event. I am ready to place it in my area (4 stores I can reach).
Also how about pamphlets (again soft copy..authorized by IV...we can print it in our local) placed in stores for people to pick and read it (some may act on it). May be 1 in 100 will join which is reasonable (not a great) reach.
This is a good idea.
Could you find people willing to help create posters on a new thread. IV can help form a group that would take care of all creating posters, fliers, banner ads etc for this event.

Randy,
I think you are wrong. you might read his forum but I think you missed this. he did report that Oppenheim offered insight to him and other immigration lawyers about the April VB before it was published. see this message dated 02/14/08 directly from his forum:
Link is here: http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4285
"Last night, at a meeting of the American Immigration Lawyer's Assocation Southern California chapter, Charles Oppenheim spoke. Mr. Oppenheim is the officer within the Visa Office tasked with calculating visa bulletin cutoff dates each month. He offered the following thoughts as to cutoff date movement in the upcoming months:
In April, India and China EB2 will be set at 12/01/2003
EB3 for India and China will slow down for the rest of the fiscal year"
Last month Ron G predicted the April visa bulletin and he did have a very good logical reason for it, he did go into details about it on his forum. He was NOT told by Oppenheimer what the bulletin was going to look like.
Ron only wrote to Oppenheimer to clarify the April Bulletin�s wording after it came out about visa number flow from EB1 to EB2 Retrogressed countries.
I have to say Ron is pretty impressive, I learned a ton by visiting his forum, he knows a lot about the inner workings of USCIS.
For example I was under the impression that USCIS followed strict procedures when it came to PDs and that processing dates schedules were correct all the time. Now I have a totally different opinion.

I have a question here. Since TSC processing time is 04/30/2007 and NSC is 06/08/2007. Does that mean even EB-1 will have to wait until the processing time to their RD ?
eg, If you are EB-1 just file your 485 this month, but the processign center time not get to 04/2008 for another 2 years, then even you are EB-1 which is always current(for right now), you still not able to get your GC in two years ?

I got the "card production ordered" email today which probably means that the gc application has been approved.
Here's the info for immigration voice team/users' tracking approvals
my PD is nov 2005.
Receipt date: 7/31/2007
center: nebraska
I got married last year and the lawyers were about to file the follow-to-join application for my wife in the next couple of days. But my application seems to have got approved first. Has anyone been in this situation before?
thanks!
VSC - This actually may not be a very good situation for you. Now that your 485 has been approved and you are a permanent resident - your wife's application will fall under the Family 2A GC category which has a wait time of somewhere around 18 months or so. Again this is my understanding of the law...I do hope for you that you don't have to wait that long...

Porting is legal..and as long as the government recognizes it why worry..I have not ported and green on EB2 but..dont see any issues if someone who applied in EB3 now satisfies the criteria laid out by govt and gets his GC...
If you have any problem with that fight it in the congress..not with folks who are just doing what they need to do..Dont get this porters vs. non-porters fight..also current VB shows that there are not that many porters..so it is not really hurting anyone..
On a side note USCIS has been really efficient in delivering your actual GC's under 1 week from CPO email.
Good luck and congrats to all who are current or soon to be.

let me take a guess - at the minimum - 2 years for your PD and 4-5 years for my PD.
For you and me isnt it < 1year?
485 Inventory (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Green%20Card/Green%20Card%20Through%20a%20Job/Employment%20Based%20I-485%20Pending%20Inventory%20as%20of%20May%2027%202 010.pdf)
going by using unused visa from worldwide allocation within the category ie eb3 for 2011 year, 42.6k visas will help clearing off 9356 peinding cases till Jan 2003?
Am I missing anything?
Why eb2 were processed with 7K cases worldwide and only 700 for eb3 worldwide?
If 42600 / 4 = 10650 cases can be processed per quarter in eb3 , why only 700 were processed?

I guess the important thing is not to lose hope. Easier said than done. Hopefully your service request does the trick for you. How did u go about opening the request? I am in the same boat - checking status every 2 minutes :)
Seems some of us are destined to wait longer..called USCIS and got a service request requested. Not sure,at this point what else can be done (apart from checking case status daily i.e)

There are lot of support and response for this thread and can Core IV team consider this to be included in their Phase 2 campaign?. It will be an added feature for our to be legal immigrant community. ^^ Bump^^
Great Idea. Since this is Saralayar brain child, let us all nominate him/her to lead this venture , while us IV followers pursue more servile task's like trying to recapture visa numbers, get multi year EAD's and basically save our B*^$'s.
If this venture is a success Saralayar will be a citizen in a year (along with a few side kicks that are backing this new citizenship concept) or so and then he/she can push congress to pass the other minor legislation that will bail the rest of us out.

Comments are welcome.
However in order to work on an issue, the push and support must come from members needing it. For that we will need support of Greencard holders who think that this an issue for them and they are willing to participate and support IV to go all the way. Right now we have our hands full with current IV agenda and need to accomplish those with our limited resources
Pappu,
Can you guide us how to take this further. Please send me a message. I will muster required number of folks to make this happen....
