If any of you can please try to find out what happened to SA180.

I can't stop thinking of our efforts in DC. As I have already posted, it was a tremendous experience being a part of such campaign. I came upon this thread of adding more members to IV and from what I read, it was successful largely. IV has increased members from 10,000 to over 40,000 since this thread was started.
I am bringing back this thread again, asking our members to get more involved in their state chapters and to encourage our current membership to be more active in the forums and action items. We, who participated in the DC event, can hold conference calls (if our members are separated widely across the state) or meet in local libraries (if many of our members are in the same city) and talk of our experience in DC and what needs to be done ahead.
Fellow participants, please do come up with suggestions on how to keep the momentum going.........
Agree. We need more members, more participation.

I figured, I have to do what I talk about. I helped register 10+ members last weekend and many more before. I probably exhausted all the people that I know that I can help become members.
great.
you may now want to ask those 10+ members to spread the word to their contacts... it will be a big viral campaign. also ask them to use invite the friends tool

Big contribution. This should motivate others.
I have sent my $20 through my bank. It should reach IV with memo gvby3000.
Let us keep on doing what we can. One day we will win. NEVER GIVE UP and NEVER DISCOURAGE IV.
Donated $500 today per my promise. Paypal ID #2863392354669581P
Apologies for posting this update on the wrong thread couldn't find the right one.

Starsun I would request you to put in another clarification for the benefit of all so that IV Core's stand is well known and published. Predictions & calculations help people to know what the ground reality is and plan their lives. Now we don�t have people on IV whether EB2 or EB3 being sad after every VB because everyone knows when to expect what and predictions and calculations IMHO has gone a long way in correcting that situation.
I read several posts promoting advocacy which is very good however they take pride in trashing predictions and calculations for no apparent reason it seems to be in fashion / vogue. If advocacy has to be promoted it has to be done in a positive way there is no need to trash predictions and calculations at every available opportunity. Some of these immature comments are very disrespectful to the effort that is being put in my many of us on the predictions blog. If some people do not like what is being done on that blog they are really free not to visit but unnecessary comments should really stop or be moderated.

Excuse me, but what's 485 got to do with assimilation? It would be perfectly legitimate for people who are waiting for their dates to be current, following the exact same logic as above
People sometimes draw the line just where they themselves have just crossed it
What about the people from EB3 who would be happy just with a GC ? Do we keep on rotting in 2001-2002 till we die ?

Hi ,
My I140 approved with priority date in November 2007. My wife works for American Vendor and her 6th year on H1B would be over by October 2012. Her company is not willing to initiate GC process. Right now her job is going smooth and could go for little longer. I wanted her to continue till mid of next year and then look for H1B transfer with immidiate GC process. Now the question, Is there any rule that we should start PERM 365 days before end of 6th year? Because I heard that we should file Labor in 5th year (365 days before). I am kind of confused... Please clarify this , I really appreciate it.
Regards.

An attorney I know told me today that:
(1) they believe EB2/3 mid-month retrogression is unlikely in July based on coversations with relevant folks in govt.
(2) USCIS is unlikely to want a spirited fight from AILA by retrogressing mid month, especially given the fight that's already on about June EB-3 unskilled
(3) The June EB-3 unskilled mid-month should be viewed in the context of the just 5000 visas that were left.
I am not going to qualify the attorney by firm name or with adjective phrases such as "very high profile." Nor am I going to quote the attorney in multiple colors. Posting it here for what it's worth (even though I realize this would sound totally bogus if I were to start this post with "a bird told me that...") None of the above is secret knowledge; apparently other AILA attorneys are also up to speed on these points.
In any case, however relaxed attorneys might be, we should probably work on trying to hit that ever-moving target of "as soon as possible," if we want to see the smile that an EAD card will bring to dear spouse's eyes.

Hi Core, Senior Members and all:
Now that we got the bad news I would like to know what is our next plan of action -Campaign, Flowers, Letters, Calls, Faxes?
On my way to work today I was listening to NPR and looks like there is a march on May 1st to the White House by the Hispanic Groups.
Also coincidentally another newsbrief by Jennifer at Washington WAMU was about H1B cap not reaching and the long wait of skilled immigrants waiting in queue for their Green Cards to be processed.
Should we be contacting her to air an exclusive article on this subject?
Your thoughts?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD EVENING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.
