I might be wrong, but I read somewhere that these numbers would go to those working in math or science related fields AND who had graduated with a related degree in the last 5 years.
Again, I'm not 100% on it, just wanted to check if anyone else heard the same.

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Hmmm,
I may as well tell my wife to accept the fact that she is likely to loose her job. Just got reply from my attorney to go for INFOPASS once 90 days have passed and request expedite.
akhilmahajan
Did you do INFOPASS or Service Request? Is that the same or different?
With Infopass appointment you get to meet IO (may be level I, or Level II) face-to-face, SR is done via phone.

and why do you think those courses are not taught in a foreign country?
yeah, because in that foreign country, people design some stupid GUI for that router, which obviously doesn't need assembly level programming for packet processing, so why waste money on teaching it?
(not to be taken in a literal sense, no offense to GUI developers, they have their own level of complexity and skill set).
So why do you abhor ALP so much?
If you written any firmware, you will know, for some devices, it looks and feels like an assembly level code only.

actually you are insane. just because you have contributed money does not make you sane !!
and you should be the first one to ask for action items (since I guess you have really donated 2400 dollars) ..or are you planning to donate 5000 dollars more without asking anything in return ? (yr money ..but as the saying goes ..a fool and his money soon part ways) ..well this is my last post ..bye and good luck !!
Why dont you come up with action item and lead the effort. Have you done anything useful other than blaming others.

...that my daughter just got approved for a two-year EAD even though she will, in all likelihood, get her green card in October. I checked with my attorney who said it seems they are giving two-year EAD's to everyone whose PD is retrogressed at the time of filing. It might be interesting to monitor the approvals for this?

I e-filed on 2nd June at TSC and around 22nd June, I went for FP. I received CPO email yesterday. I had not seen any LUD after FP. I guess, calling USCIS helps so please keep calling and request them that you need EAD badly. I remember , a couple of days back when I was talking to an lady IO, she said, she can send a request to IO but there is no guarantee that it will help. I guess, that might have made difference. So I would strongly suggest to keep talking to them.

I e-filed both EAD and AP together for my wife on 6/30. Got AP approval but no FP for EAD yet.
WE have a lot of ppl even waiting before you. You are lucky atleast you got your AP approved. I had e-filed on June 1st and have not even heard anything about it. EAD was e-filed on May 29th and got my FP done on June 28th.
I hope this helps.

We had our fun while driving - we had a new IV member, Naveen's friend a doctor who just came from India a month back and trying for residency. His name is Arun.
Now Mr Arun missed Indian food as he does not get it where he lives and was kinda home sick. We stopped over in the Edison area and packed some junk food.
Our friend Arun was delighted by eating Egg Bajji, Samosa, Jilebi - ONE MUST SEE HOW HIS FACE LIT UP - HE BECAME PROUD OF IV JUST AT THAT INSTANCE AND WAS ONE OF THE MOST ENERGETIC RALLIER

Does CPO status on USCIS site mean 485 is approved? or is there some hidden processing going on, which can turn the tables??
Just skeptical.
btw, I forgot to mention. I thank the IV members for their invaluable guidance. Will continue being a regular member.
CPO = Card production ordered.....my understanding is that the card will be produced after the application is approved. So CPO = you got yourself an approval.

A lot of Desi Consulting Companies do these kinds of things. They can cook up any resume and any requirement.
Real PHD guys who worked their asses off day and night in trying to publish some worth while papers are not getting consideration for EB1 and these DCC guys with a bachelors in any discipline and 5-7yrs experience can become Multi-national executives and fall under EB1.
Nothing helps us legally working people with US Masters Degrees who have been living as law abiding citizens for years.
One of my friends who did Bachelors with me in India came to US on h1B and actually bought his EB2 Labor back in 2005 through a DCC and now has a GC. He never even told me that he did that. He told me recently after he got his GC.
I agree that is really a b*** . We pay taxes, contribute to the economy/society etc and we don't preference wheras any manager living outside can get GC in 6 months is very dissapointing. I don't blame the ppl who got through DCC like this but the law itself should be fixed.

For EB3 Folks with PD's in early - 2003- there are close to 8742 applicants in front of you That is a wait of 5 more years.
For EB3 Folks with PD's in mid 2003 and later - There are 14583 applicants in line before you- That is a wait of 10-12 more years.
Now the only way forward will be to lobby with IV for a legislative fix. Apart from that there is just no option, the sooner people realise that and help IV with advocacy, the better results we will get.
I am quite confused. My date is June 2002 first week .
Not sure if it makes sense to Port to Eb2 , but big uknown is how long it would take PD to move up to June 2002.
