Who should be contacted to get the material for meetings with senator/congressmen? Can someone point me to a link here on the IV site?
You can send a personal message to "StarSun", who will give you the material and instructions.

I think it will take almost a month before there is significant number of members who sign up for recurring payments. So, keep it up and spread the word.
I was wondering how many of 8400 messages were undelivered?

I recently got my Indian passport renewed at CGI SFO. Everything went smoothly. Here's some info for other people's benefit. My old passport expires in Sep 2008.
I printed out the online application form and applied by mail. Enclosed the following
Application form
2 Passport photos (they returned one photo back with new passport)
Notarized copy of Drivers Lic
Notarized copy of EAD
Notarized copy of I 797
Copy of Masters Degree Cert for ECNR status.
Current passport + Photocopies of front and back page and current I-94/Visa.
Single money order for $60($40 Passport renewal fee + $20 fee for return by overnight courier).
Total Cost = $60 MO + $16 Fedex + $30 Notary = $106.
The Consulate received my application on June 16th and I received my new passport on July 1st. That's just 10 working days. I was impressed :cool:

I see that most of you who are getting approved are 2007 filers. Any 2008 filers got approved?
Also what is the number to call to Open a SR? Is it to soon to call since my PD is current only since yesterday. Folks who called to open a SR please let us know.
Thank you.

Yes, the majority of approvals are from 2005. There's even one with a June 2005 PD. I can't understand why it has slowed down though.
yeah that sucks, but on the brighter side they are processing EB3 PD's for beg and mid 2005.

My wife's 485 status changed online as "Card production Ordered".
My GC was approved last year august and waiting for her approval over a year.
I see a pattern of approval for people who got recent soft LUDs. Nola was another person who got SOFT LUD.
Congrats.
Please keep updating the IV tracker this month if you got approval. Please also encourage others to do the same.
We are going to see the trend of the approvals and if next month the dates go back or approvals look irregular, we will contact USCIS.

I agree totally!! I understand the need for IV not to lobby for just one community EB2 or
EB3...but the fact is that all we see is movement in EB2 and no to very little movement in EB3....the most retrogessed and most in need community is EB3...
For new people like us, how do we get motivated for donation and all these things when we see rest of the people who are doign this still waiting for months to see some light at the end of the tunnel??
I think what would help is an action plan by IV stating what they would be doing in weeks or months to come....
may be do a campaign like a flower campaign or something to really get the attention if not this beginning of next year, when we think that CIR may be moving....
I think we are lacking an action plan here....and may be thats what we need for new people to get motivated towards....
Mr. Pagal,
Its very unfortunate, that most of us are very active only when a Visa Bulletin is released, bickering about EB1, EB3, EB1 etc. Then the topic dies until the next visa bulletin is released.
There are plenty of action items to do, have you checked those, I recommend you do that ASAP. Mind that the IV core also has a professional and personal life, no one pays them to do what they do at IV. Simply pointing fingers at others will not help with our cause. Contributing some $$ is also an action Item, I suggest you start with that.
Have a good one!!

Im still waiting too. e-filed may 23rd. fp done on June 17th.
Expedite request denied, have an infopass appointment on August 14th. I will see what they will say
Getting too worried as my current ead is going to expire on Sep 19th.
Looking at the tracking it looks like TSC has started to work on all these pending cases. Hopefully our petitions get approved soon too
Will keep you posted
I have the very exact EAD expiry date. I think after 75 days you can open a SR and after 90 days we can try for interim EAD.. That's what I'm planning to do. Please keep me updated on your case and infopass appt

...only if approved. Guess, luck matter a lot when ur dates are current...as those guys are picking up cases randomly. Majority of approvals thus far are Feb/Jan 06 , when oct/nov guys are still looking forward..Please, dont get me wrong....Systematic approvals helps everyone...as you know the celebration time has come
SR/infopass is such a routine a thing ...they have standard reply to mail out. It definitely is frustrating to sit on the edge and keep waiting....
thanks gbof...
no wonder(random process) Mr. Obama keeps pressing on improving Maths(and ...) skills...
esp NSC looks worst...

Hi All,
MY LC (PD May 2003) is still stuck in DBEC. So I may or may not be able to file withing Aug17th.
My question is regarding the procedure used by USCIS to process AOS applications. It would be great if someone could explain this to me.
These are my questions:
1. Is the AOS application processed by RD or PD?
2. Once USCIS starts processing the I485, do they check PD at any stage, or is it just used as the initail "gate " for allowing I485 application submission?
3. Suppose Tom with a PD of July 2006 applied in July 2007. Then Harry's case gets approved by BEC in August 2007 and he applies in October 2007. Who will get the GC first?
Thanks for the help!
Houston:
let me try to answer your question the best I can. Answers in order:
For all purposes: lets assume 2 examples. Person A PD July 2006 and RD of July2, 2007 and Person B PD April 2006 and RD of July 2, 2007.
1. AOS is processed by a "combination" of RD and PD. As per the current Bulletin BOTH A and B can apply. The Service centres are currently processing September 2006 applications. When they reach July 2, 2007 processing dates, both applications will be picked up and then "thoeretically" they should ask for Visa number for A BEFORE asking a visa number for B as A has an earlier PD.
2. Answered in same question 1 above.
3. If Harry's case gets approved in August 2007 by BEC he WILL NOT be able to apply for I-485 as the July Bulleting is valid only for applicants VALID in july. Just beacuse they are accepting till AUg 17, does not mean people whose LC got approved between Aug 1-17 can apply, becuase they were technically NOT eligible to apply in July.
Does that answer your questions. PM me if you want more detail.

Don't get disheartened my freind. I did not intend to come out like that.
But seriously, you do need form a group to handle this issue. IV can at most provide an umbrella , under which like minded people like yourself can organize. We have similar such groups for IV physicians, lawmaker liasion et.
In case you did not notice I asked for a suggestion, not action. And please think a little broad and beyond technical terms, I don't mean Senior in forum (100+ post), I meant someone who has experience to provide suggestions that may have worked previously.
thanks for your "help" with the IV formula
:mad:
If you dont have anything positive to contribute please do not just post comment (to become senior) as it could hurt others morale.

NOT TRUE.
It depends on how many applications were filed that had priority dates before the Retrogressed Date (22 APR 01, 01 AUG 02, Etc).
If there were no big volume of applications before this date, then the USCIS is out of work as it relates to the I-485 applications processing. Thats when they move the date forward to allow more applications with later priority dates come to the processing desk.
My two cents.
I agree with Prolegalimmi. And, thats exactly what I was telling all along. The dates have to move.
