Funds are what is needed, not mere members. Although at one point I thought the more the members, the more the funds. Oh!. Excuse me, I really did not want to say "Funds" or "Contribution". :D

Hi Friends, we need to do something, consider sending letters to president, and should have only one thing, this is not fair.



anyone please prepare a letter for us.

What a strategy...wow I admire you.

Where can i download a sample 485 form? I am thinking of getting all the papers in order and then sending it to the lawyer, this way we can avoid errors from lawyer side. For this i need pdf format of all the forms. if someone can get hold of all the pdf forms and upload here/somewhere else it will help everyone.
Here are the list of forms that is needed.

Edited: I found where these forms can be downloaded....plese use the link against the forms

Finally after the third "card production" email (June 23rd, July 15th, July 29th) i got the card today valid for one year. I efiled on April 27th. My PD is April 2006 EB2. So i guess thats why got only for one year.

All,

I filed the online application for EAD renewal on May 3rd and required documents were sent to Phoenix drop box on May 6th. I paid the fees using a credit card. The EAD application was returned on May 15th. Reason a signature is not contained in the signature box of the application or petition. A signature in the "Signature of person preparing form, if other than above" block is not a valid signature for this purpose. Please sign and resubmit the application with the appropriate fees. How do you sign a online application? Did I do something wrong here? The EAD application which I received back from USICS is the applicant copy. Should I sign on the applicant copy or reprint a new completed EAD form. For the fees should I just submit the previous document showing fees paid through credit card.

Any response will be appreciated.

I believe you need to send the documents to NSC or TSC for efiled applications and not to drop box facilities. the drop box is for paper filed applications only.

Phone calls and Emails does not work with Indian Consulates, I had received an advice from one of well wisher and sent a fax for the status of my childs PIO card, after sending fax they sent my passport within 3 days :), This is just my personal experience for the Indian consualte in Washington DC. So give a try FAX may work..

What nonsense is this.
Isn't this supposed to be a public forum that people can join and share updates. There is no disclaimer that one needs to donate to participate in discussions on this forum.
If donations are mandatory - this would have been a paid only website and access to all should have been restricted. I bet the participation and visibility of a useful site like this would be detrimental in this case.

" public forum that people can join and share updates"
You not know IV.

I've mailed my application on 3/16 and received by Houston office on 3/18 as per fedex tracking..

I sent an email to passportcgihouston@swbell.net on friday and got the response that my application was not registered in their system..

Is there some waiting time to register the application in the system?? I'll send another mail after 2 days..hopefully it will be registered by then..

did u e-mail them this week?Is ur application registered in their system....I mailed mine on 25th and it was delivered on 26th and I am wondering when it would be in their system???

Thank you for voicing support for the 485 filing proposal.

Please participate in the Add ONE Member campaign and contribute (even if it is a small amount).

I quoted a fact (rational and valid) to argue your assumptions. I never even claimed to know what USCIS would do and how they would present the data. It was you who presented a theory to justify that we should not go with any change in the spill over. I want to know why you dont want EB3I not to proceed with this measure. Is it because you believe it will take away numbers from EB2 or EB3I is doomed with plenty of cases and any amount will not make any changes. I believe its perhaps the earlier than the later. See, we all have our needs and we all want to look for ourselves first (including you and me). Its basic human nature. We all can generate obfuscatory facts to push our agenda. But at the end does it justify the means ?


I beleive you are selectively highlighting facts. Forgive me if I am wrong but there are two issues here

1) Applications Pending by PD
2) Applications Pending by Category (EB 2 & EB3)


Now yes I agree a congress man can ask like how come I see Eb3 app from 2001 pending with you since 2001. Which means 8+ years. With Spillover to Eb3 the dates max go to 2002 so the question would be app pending for 7+ years

With moving EB2 they can least claim that they have moved an entire category to current. Is that right or wrong is entirely a personal question but it is a valid argument from their side. Also look at it this way Eb1 I & Eb2 I currently have a gap of 4 years. and EB2 & Eb3 have a gap of 4 years as well.

I mailed my passport about 3 weeks back to SFO. Have not yet got it. Anybody done it recently?

I think you should get in another week. I submitted my passport in Oct and got it in exactly 4 weeks

I left messages for all... I will try calling again during office hours on Monday to get a live person...

We need to have a clear road map. Once we get enough people what are we going to do next.

Hi Guys,

I have created a Poll for this PERM issue. Let us all gather and explore what options available to fix this, make it transparent.

"IV Professional Network" is a great idea... are you thinking inthe line of NetIP???

Good point.

Just to let you know, I have spoken to our counterparts at NETIP, at that time they were having their annual convention and after that we got busy with our DC rally. Thanks for reminding, this is an area worth exploring again. Are you an NETIP member? Maybe, you can help us facilitate this partnership. PM me your ph # and we can talk.

I sent a letter to President Bush, trying to summarize our cases. Hope you can sent the same or as similar letter to him. The link is:

I am still collecting cases to continue pushing the Congress.
Thanks for your help and support

Anyone received payment processing errors in the last couple of days on the E-File website? For some reason, while trying to complete payment for my AP e-file, when I try to use the credit card option, I keep getting an error that the e-filing payment processing server is unable to process payments at this time. I have been trying every hour for the last 2 days...and the stupid USCIS Customer Service number has no options to report this error...

I am getting this error.

It was quick and painless....called all offices in 10 mins and most took the message. They are going to start getting a lil curt as it seems they are receiving a lot of calls, however our purpose is to FLOOD them with calls so keep calling guys!!!:p
