I was just joking..........anything that will help people signup and keep this thread on top.
In fact I am relieved that experienced people like you and nolaIndian are coming to DC; I will need your encouragement. My dog and I have started walking 10 miles on Sat/Sun. We have also started running/walking 4 miles on weekdays.
Sign up guys........if not for IV; at least for your health!!!
Once you signup, you will have a deadline to work towards and that will be the greatest incentive that you can have.
I am not up for any fights ... Peace
Back to work..We definately will get more participation. Let's get rolling

let me take a guess - at the minimum - 2 years for your PD and 4-5 years for my PD.
Well, I would say a year more of waiting time is kind of not okay. Already waited for so many years.
Though not offending, its pathetic to see recent EB 2 filers getting greend quickly while EB 3I, even oldest filers, are sucked in mud. No rationale et all...
God help EB3I

SFO is taking 3 weeks for in person renewal. I gave mine and got date of April 2 (which was 3 weeks away). Probably mail would take few extra days.
I got it in 3.5 weeks. I did it over mail

I agree. We need to do something about the ones taking a free ride!!!!
I really like this idea. Core team should give this a serious thought. As macaca pointed out, it wouldn't make a difference to certain ppl, but should motivate quite a few others.

Arun,
Minor correction, these are articulate idiots, just BUSY killing their valuable time arguing among themselves. Why bother them, let them be engaged in a very important discussion. Some of the posts are as idiotic and over-board as The Mad Show.
Is USCIS doesn't give a damn about educational credentials why do they they have EB2 category for Aliens with Advanced Degree, EB1 category for Aliens with Ph.D, Uncapped H1 for Aliens with US degrees etc..
Even Canadian point based Immigration system assigns more points for aliens with advanced degrees.
First of all USCIS is nobody to decide whether or not education credentials mean anything or not. That decision is taken by lawmakers. We all know theer are two kind of lawmakers � Republican & Democrats.
Republicans love the people with money i.e. large employers. Publicly, most Republicans hate everything under the sun. Privately, they would want to love you if you are a gay. These are bunch of idealogs to oppose abortion & gun control, unless you can show them some green and then they will be your best friends. Republicans think God is scared of Gun lobby so God is on their side.
Democrats is the name of another group of idiots. They don�t know what they should do when in spite of all their efforts to not get elected; they are thrown into the Congress as the Majority party. One thing Democrats are good at, they know how to give up majority in the Congress. Publicly, Democrats would pretend that they care for the poor. Privately, they too would want to love you if you are a gay. These are another bunch of idealogs, who, privately, would work day-and-night for the very poor and under-privileged group of people, unless you can show them some green and then they will be your best friends. Democrats think God is scared of US Chamber of commerce, so they only support illegal immigration.
Now, most people in EB backlogs are neither very rich company/big business owners nor the EB applicants are very poor. And to add to that, last time I checked, most EB applicants are not gay, unless the recent poll numbers would suggest otherwise. So how in the world do we expect to get our issues fixed if we are neither rich business owners, can�t pretend to be very poor nor are we gay? I think we are toast�.
As far as EB-1, 2 & 3 is concerned, these categories are created so that some people, as seen on this forum, could just stroke their egos thinking that they are better than others around them. In essence, this is another form of discrimination so that people like you and others could fight on forum like these ;-).

Looks like most of the people online are not seeing this thread at all.
May be the Title need to be changed.
"URGENT CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED. TIME RUNNING OUT. NOW OR NEVER" kind of...
People might be thinking that this thread is to discuss Integrity of Core Group.
Someone from Core group pls Update the Link and see if it works..
My 2 cents.

It is obvious that DOL backlog center is processing cases with utter disregard to FIFO procedures. Some people with priority dates in 2004 or 2005 have obtained their labor certifications, but some people with priority dates in 2001 or 2002 still do not know what is happening to their cases. If we file lawsuit against DOL on their inability to maintain FIFO procedures, what are the chances of success? Their inability to maintain FIFO procedures has brought great misery in lives of the people who stood in line for so many years so patiently.
Just like the Right to Information act that was passed in India recently, the US also has the "Freedom of Information Act". I think you can ask for documentation from the agency to get information such why its taking so long for your application.
You can find the details here:

As per my knowledge even if you use H1 you still needap to travel out of US
Please check with your immigration attroney as they know it better but here are few things i heard:
EAD+AP:
after 6 mths of I-485 filing, shifting jobs would be easy with EAD. costly because of yearly renewal but worth based on your situation. i prefer renewing this EAD+AP, even in H1 so that you can shift jobs when you got the oppurtunity because EAD takes 3-4 mths approval time and you can travel using AP like H1 when you dont have H1 stamping. Even if you have H1stamping but if you use EAD/AP while entering US then you are no longer in H1 unless you go out and come back with H1.
Cons: Fees is increased by 60-80% this yr for EAD+AP, so costly. Also if for any reason anyone's I-485 is denied then the period he/she used EAD will be out-of-status so applying I-485 again wont be easy with "out-of-status" but still possible, check with your attroney.
Note: But couple of my friends changed jobs using EAD+AP and got GC without any issue. so it depends case to case and your application and how USCIS process it.
H1:
no need to renew EAD+AP but i feel it is always better to have both H1 & EAD/AP unless you want to save money. H1 gives oppurtunityto reapply I-485 even if denied. I think Job shifting is possible with H1 transfer, but check with attroney. Also you need to do H1 renewal and to travel abroad you need H1 stamping while entering US again.
hope this gives an idea.

my notice date is sep 26, 07. It's a mixed feeling...the wait has killed the enthu, but at the same time, I feel good that no more visa, AP, EAD extensions, and feel that I have wings of freedom to pick up a job i like, place i like, not bound by CIS rules regarding employment, etc...

This is the precise reason I am staying away from IV, people just dont show any civility in the forum discussions and starts name calling or shot down the people who ask questions.
If IV comes up with just one single GOAL of reducing the curent EB backlog for the restorgressed categories, people even from RoW countries will start participating in IV campaign and support IV's advocacy efforts in terms of their donations and volunteering for IV.
Reducing the current EB backlog will help everyone.
If you are staying away from IV, why are you coming to IV and posting on IV. :D
Deep in your heart you are pissed being in EB3 India and 2003 PD. Guess what your wait is longer than you think. This is all because you have chosen to not do anything about your situation and want others to do it for you for free.

GCPerm, Saralayar, spicy_guy, freedom_fighter and others ........ dedicate your time (30 or 60 minutes everyday) on green card backlog issues. Help us all in this process.
Things are not as easy as it seems......Writing letters alone does not solve problems - and reading pappu's post - monthly trips to DC, meeting with (dont know who all), raising funds, having lobbyists -- all of these are things that take up time. IV has already said that it cannot take it on unless they achieve the primary goal of clearing backlogs.
Think about it, gcperm is the only guy who has met with Schumer's office. That's it. Even he has no idea on how many more senate offices he has to meet....... Or how deals are cut to get any legislation considered............. I read the Citizenship doc - nothing in it is viable - everything in it only shows the total lack of knowledge regarding laws.
US in never going to adopt point based system - for green card or citizenship. Every other recommendation past 4 relates to point based system - so chuck them out. As for recommending the form and the fee for it - and actually putting the price on it - again shows the lack of thought.
The third and most important one, you are asking for these benefits for employment based category - things never work that way. Every group of immigrants will ask the same benefits or if they cannot get it, they will fight tooth and nail so that no nobody else gets it too.
Congratulations for getting your green cards. Stay and help out the members who are yet to get their green cards. IV am sure would take on the issue of citizenship once it has achieved its primary goal.....

Hi,
I havent received any emails from IV. I have a valid email account and verified twice. I haven't received a single email or newsletter.
Now its not a big deal as I have been following up all the events through website and also contributed..
But wanted to get it to the admin's attention so that they can check if there is some software glitch. There might be people like me who havent been receiving emails and are not visiting the website on a daily basis..
Sorry I am refering to the email notification, not IV board message. My Yahoo email account just recieved one email from IV when I registered my account.

Hi shantak,
WHich service center did you file to.
I have efiled to TSC and also did you get the biormtric appointment last time.
Getting EAD approval in 11 days is faaastt.I need to see how fast mine will be.
Thanks,
Shantak
Mine is TSC and yes I got the biometric appointment last time. Also good thing is that this time they have given the start date of from the expiration date of the current EAD.
However as I said im still waiting for my wife's EAD (efiled on the same day)

In my opinion filing TWO application does not seem right choice. What if both get approved ? Do you get two cards each ? What if there is a collision in their database and raises flags ??
Using one PD that best suites you seems to be the right way.
Or file independently with no dependents (less likely to fly with most)

Having spoken with several congressional aids I can say that such issues are well received. The specific issue that I have raised (it does not affect me) is examples of people leaving USA and having to explain to their US born children why mummy and daddy are not welcome in the USA, and thus why they have to grow up in a foreign country.
I have also given examples of one sibling being born in USA and other aging out.
However, I have only raised this where law makers are known to be sympathetic to family immigration, e.g. support DREAM.
I think that the best we can do is:
Get wait times down (and reduce impact of this).
Use this as an argument with those who support family based immigration (and may even be hostile to EB otherwise).
If we have an opportunity to address this as part of other EB legislation we can.
It is certainly not forgotten by me.
I do think that it would be helpful to have a list of people in IV with this problem (with ages of all children plus relevant dates). For the moment I'm too busy to organize this (busy with IV work -- like 4am bed times).
More active help (not just forum discussion) with IV is always welcome, so you are welcome to step up and help (e.g. compiling a list of such members etc.). Politics is personal so being able to present personal cases is helpful.
