Today my attorney said that if it hasnt moved for two visa bulletins in the fiscal year then he is almost sure (using 27 year experience in immigration) that it will not move much this year.
:-(

dont worry the dates will move. Ask your attorney if he is willing to take a bet on that.
this year is "special". The July VB filings, the rush of approvals in teh last 2-3 months... lots of things have happened this year that have never happened in the past.

Is there any one like my who misssed CSPA applicability by less than a month.If yes, please respond.

One suggestion I have, which is followed by lot of websites with PHP Bulletin boards with high traffic is to use a separate server for boards pointing to something like forums.immigrationvoice.org and keep the main site www.immigrationvoice.org on a separate not so powerful server.

Atleast it ensures that the main site doesn't go down, when forum usage is very high.

Great Job IV...

I will call every on the list starting now...

Not to sound too needy (reminds me of a saying back in my home country "ungli diya to hath pakadke kandhe pe chad gaya")

I know I know nothing cant beat the "KLPD" remark someone made few posts back

It seems there were 4 COSPONSORS for this amendment.

Sen Snowe, Olympia J. [ME] - 1/24/2007
Sen Sununu, John E. [NH] - 1/24/2007
Sen Landrieu, Mary L. [LA] - 1/24/2007
Sen Lieberman, Joseph I. [CT] - 1/24/2007

Most likely they have no clue to what�s going on, or they are genuinely interested in helping us. I'm going to email them and ask if they know about this amendment. And if they reply positively maybe ask them would they do this again sometime soon :) maybe with some tweaks and changes.

Amendment ka number bol bhaya.

English ( Please state the Amendment Bill Number)

Till early part of 2004 or latter part of 2003, most of the Indians applied EB3 very few applied EB2. After 2004, it was reverse. I doubt any one appled EB3 in 2005 0r 2006.

If EB3 stays continously in 2001 and EB2 in 2004 (there is 3 year difference in cutoff date between EB2 and EB3 now), the guys with EB3 PD 2002 and 2003 will convert to EB2 by applying new 140 to transfer PD. This flow will balance the cut-off dates. Eventually it will reach a common ground or a break-even point.

I doubt that people try to change from EB3 to EB2 , given the fact that they need get I140 approval which is taking more than 14 months and USCIS announced recently that, they are not bringing back I140 PP in the near future.

[for each person who signs on, they need to give their name, their employer�s name, their case number, and their filing date.]


Here is how I think we should collect this information:

- Everyone who wants to support this initiative send (snail mail) a piece of paper with their Name, Company Name, Case Number, Filing Date, Audit Date and Signature at the end, to an address (to be determined). These cases will be attached to the template/letter above and sent to the Inspector General.

That way we will have one letter, but individual signatures and cases, all in one package.

Any suggestions?

I called to 4 offices so far today afternoon. I talked to 2 of them and provided the information they asked, 1 asked if I am a IV member and 1 went to voice message. Got very friendly response.

Did you call today ? Please do call if you haven't so far.

Apllied on : June 9( Spouse and Me)
Notice Date : June 10
FP : 2 July
Soft Luds on I140 on 7/13
Soft luds on I140/Old H1's/I 485 on 7/30
AP approved on 7/31( still no card production ordered status)

Eagerly waiting for EAD.

Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.
I had the page scrolling issue too on IE 6 (at work) . Now, I open IV forumns on firefox and I do not have the problem anymore.

Just a guess...the EB3 figure above for 2005 includes the 50,000 Schedule A Visa recaptured at that period...no LC needed for Sked A.

I'm from ATL and the latest i could get an infopass at ATL local office is on August 12th. My EAD expires Aug 22nd. I will have to ask him what to . Does anbody know if there is an interim EAD and if so, will they give it immediately or is there a "process" for that also.


Hi
Could someone please help me? I was trying to schedule an InfoPass appointment, ontheir website,

I clicked on
You need Service on a case that has already been filed

Then next page clicked on

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Give me following message:

At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.

Return to USCIS On-Line

I was wondering how you were able to schedule an appointment? I would appreciate if you could help me in this.

Regards,

Team IV Members will get details of fundraising ideas in the Welcome Package once the Membership has been processed.

Here is a glimpse of some of these fun ideas which can be done by Families or Groups of Team IV Members:
1. Pot Luck Dinner - charge guests $10 cover charge (check payable to Immigration Voice). Make this special by picking a specific cusine like Italian or Indian.

2. Coffee Hour - invite your friends over for coffee, while coffee is on the house, sell baked goods by the slice or by the pan.

3. Family Membership - get the kids involved with some arts and crafts activity like customizing plastic Christmas globes/decorations and sell these to friends/co-workers. Everyone wants a customized Christmas tree ornament!

Sound like fun to you, well sign up with Team IV. You get to spend some quality time with friends and family, raise money for IV and by walking/running, lead a healthy lifestyle.

we have almost as many folks that have not called as those that did. why? oh why? just pick up the phone and leave at least 1 VM today!
Various reasons may be possible: some people may think that phone campaign may not be an effective method. However, all of them who decided not to participate, did not post a message and explained why do they think so. It happened initially for the flower campaign too ... however when momentum build, lots of no sayers also started sending flowers.

Second, its quite possible that anti-immigration people are creating the account and voting against the campaign. Some one should take a look at the accounts who voted against, and see when exactly they joined IV? At the same time, some people who are EB2/EB3 ROW, think that if these bill pass, their GC will take more time.

Another aspect is: majority of people still do not realize how grave the situation is. I was talking to one of my good friend (EB3 India), I am chasing him from last one year to join the fight. He nodes his head and says Yes every time I talk to him, but never comes forward. Yesterday, when I urged him to participate in CHC campaign, he told me "Don't worry, I will help you". This one sentence clarified a lot. He still doesn't see himself impacted by this situation, and still believes that some day his GC will appear magically. He is just living in a fools paradise and enjoying his EAD/AP. BTW, his PD is April 2004 EB3 India. Afterwards, I had to be a little straight with him, and convey him in bitter words that I am not asking his support for my GC, but I a asking this so that he can help himself. Hope someday he will realize this.

why do you say so??


I predict that the EB3 and EB2 cutoff dates for India will reach close to each other with in next one year. At the worst, the differnce between EB2 qnd EB3 cutoff dates may be maximum of one year.

Why cant USCIS/DOS simply release a memo every quarter about how many EB immigrant visas they issued and how many are unused. It does not need to be detailed report like the yearly one DOS releases after the end of fiscal year.

Can some pls help me by answering this??

Hi,
Sorry to hijack the thread..

I went over the instructions for EAD filing and wanted to confirm the following before I went ahead with the filing.

1. The fee is $340

2. I need to send it to Phoenix lockbox as I reside in Illinois.

Please someone confirm this for me.

Thanks!

Dont worry about anyone being curt. They are all nice people.

If you call NOW you will get to VM and it is simple, quick and effective. Please do it. You dont have to worry about being 'cut off' or a 'curt response' if you are 'speaking' to a VM box. Right? So, whats the hold up? Go ahead and call all numbers.

Thanks!

Just posted in our alumni group...hope to see some memberships.


That's a good idea. I will do the same too.

susie,
I made a mistake. My I140 was filed on 26 Dec 06 and was approved in Sept 07. Daughter's birth in 17 July 1985
Thanks

Sanhari, I am with you on this.
Please let me know the best way to contact our local congressmen and I am willing to support this effort.
I think it's fair that people waiting from 2002 get their GC's first. I mean they have been waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. At the same time all EB's should wake up and do this.
What should we do to spread this message ?

you can go to following website to contact https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml .. hope this helps
