Thank you all for response and suggestions, my company and attorney is already in Process of filling 2nd PERM for EB2 with different postion, I talked with my attoreny yesterday and told him about possibility of AUDIT, he told me :not to worry about it: we have all of the docs and reason to apply 2nd PERM without withdrawing 1st Approved PERM for EB3. So he said nothing to loose from our side, if audited then matter of time.
Thanks Again

I was wondering if any one in the core or other members think about the next step towards getting citizenship after passing the hurdles of getting the green card. If a person is here for 10 years and then get his green card (average period), then he need to wait for another 5 years to get the citizenship. 15 years for this process in a person's life is too much.
IV Core can push or lobby for a law which can make the person a US citizen, if he is living in US for 10 years legally without any issues and paying taxes for the entire period. It is just my idea.

Canadians don't have as many problems as Indians, but a broken system doesn't work for anyone. I know of Canadians who are also very frustrated with the system, myself included.
Very quick response.. good. You are trying to do a good job.
You missed two points:
Can you please update your profile.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you trying in these lines before too. Can you direct me to any one of your forums more than 2 months old where we can see what you did before.
Trust me, in the past we knew of some guys who tried to distract the forum attention with proposals of doing somethings in the lines as you have said. Their goal is to distract and divert attention.
Not that we do not trust you, but we expect you have atleast your profile updated.
What do you do, when you come across someone who says I can get you a big job done for you, as I have contacts.. Not blindly trust, right.. We also check he his credentials. I am to some extent doing that, to be frank, not that everyone has profiles here with real information.
I told about you to my friends, and they asked me "Why do we trust him, dont you think he may be a Canadian who is trying to distract these innocent Indians and hence make sure they remain in backlogs"...

There is one major flaw in your lawyers analysis.
He is correct in saying that they issued 11,111 GC's per monththis year, but however that was under retrogression when dates were so far behind (dates for EB2 and EB3 India hadnt moved for ever). His analysis does not take into account those whose 485's may have been pre approved but were not issued a GC due to date not being current. We are not talking about new applications being approved but those whose applications were already preapproved and just waiting for visa numbers.
Anyway no one knopws what will really happen. Just file as early as possible and leave the rest to luck or divine power. Jo hoga dekha jayega, but this is not the time for tyupical desi procascination.
Very well said.. This will give a little hope to everybody..
Thanks for your post.
QUOTE=shantak]Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.[/QUOTE]

I believe there are good number of such cases. Besides me, I know there is one more person from Indiana who is also in same boat. In my case also, I was stuck in labor for more than 2 years and then had to wait for visa number being available for more than 15 months after I140 approval. As I mentioned in my first mail, my son was aged out by just 12 days ( after considering 29 days of I40 processing time ).I did not file 485 for him along with my application as I did not want to check chances with his F1 status.
I would be more than willing to do whatever is required to gather support for our cause. If some one wants to send personal mail , pl do that . We can have telephonic conversation after that to see how we can join to-gether.

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

Thank you Chanduv23 for your participation in the advocacy efforts. It is heartening to see that members who have received green cards take the active role of advocating for changes that their fellow immigrant friends are not yet out of.
We have shantanup, vin13, and chanduv23 - all received GCs last year - all three have participated in the advocacy efforts in the past - and here they are again! Thank you.
This should inspire members who are still waiting to get their GCs to be in DC.

for your kind words about my response. truth of the matter is, i was pretty upset and seething in anger for a good part of saturday. finally i decided it was better to "lose" this contact for good, than put up with the outright insult. we have nothing to be afraid, ashamed or apologetic about our cause.
thanks again for your kind words. i did get a positive reply from a dean at my alma mater, a leading pvt university, that fully supports these positions. possibly an indication that we should be reaching out to US university deans to get their active support?
please feel free to edit / copy+paste both the chain email and the racism-response ... to meet any of your respective outreach needs
also, 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!

There are tens of thousands from retrogressed countries who have been stuck for more than 8 years (PD 01 and 02). Most of us were either stuck in namecheck or BEC blackhole through no fault or ours. Still there are others who were screwed by employers and had to reapply labor and restart the GC process. When i talk to my congressman, all they say is that the PD is not current and they cannot help.
Great point! When I reach out to the Congressman's office, none of them are aware of the inefficiencies of the last few years that has resulted in the current backlog of AOS for folks from India, China etc. For example, my case was stuck in the BEC blackhole (transferred over just when it was about to be processed by State office) for well over 3 years when there were a significant number of Green cards available. However being in EB-3 India category, the dates today are not current even for my PD of Dec 02. Unfortunately, the Congressman's aides are only aware of current status and claim helplessness to do anything until the dates progress. Given this, we really need to talk to senior officials/ Congressional Sub-Committe members who are a little more aware of the details and understand the significant waste in the past that has led to current status.
Totoro, any suggestions to overcome this issue would be welcome. Great job btw - keep it up!

Various reasons...time...schedule...other obligations etc...lack of readily available information on IV as an organisation or state chapter....too many steps to do simple things like joining the state chapter :)
ya some of the reasons seem ridiculous...but even small things easily hinder people who already have a busy life. They create mental barriers...where such tasks are just postponed rather than handled in an instant.
I am trying to get more of IV core members to take these small things seriously and have even offered to help in this regard.
I do agree with some of your points. We could do with a marketing consultant for the website, etc
Many on core are working almost all their waking hours, and simply don't have time.
But you know what the funny thing is? No one is willing to donate for these items.
We are even $28,000 short for critical things like Advocacy days.
People couldn't even collect a few thousand dollars for advertising on a single website about IV.
We don't have a paid sales person or PR person.
Most people aren't aware of realities.

:eek:I believe Indians want to enjoy life too much after coming to US, the only way to succeed is to work hard and with sincerity . Based on the observation i see very few Indians fully committing themselves to work. not sure why :confused:
Give me a break!!!!. Dude you must be smoking dope. Do you really think Indians do not commit themselves to work and still get paid for their service to the company. Remember we live in a Capitalistic country and its a "Dog Eat Dog" world out here. No service, No Pay. If you are out of a project and are not put in a different project and is on bench, you will be shown the exit door. This is not a country like the Indian Govt. service sector where people enjoy their life with gauranteed income and pension.
I'm not sure how you got this feeling, but let me try to explain some of the reasons about your thoughts.
1.) People might be more smarter than you might think. What takes 10 Hrs to finish a job can be done in 2 Hrs if you have great skills and is highly Productive. Working hard does not always mean you slog your ass off ...This will be counter productive. Working harder means you might not be having enough skills to complete the job or you are not smart enough to complete the job within the assigned date.
2.) There needs to be a balance between work and personal life. Do you really think people always need to care about work and no life after work?
3.) GC Issues. People are still working within the limitations of the skill sets that have been detailed in ones LC. They worked such a long time within the same skill set, its very easy for someone to complete the Job within no time based on number of years worked on that skillset.
4.) Even if someone wants to work harder, take additonal responsibilities and want to progress in their career, every one knows that they are constrained by the GC process which will discourage them to try and acheive them and no wonder we all are hooked to IV forums to make our lives better after having GC in hand.
Hope this helps you better understand the situation and pls do not generalize your personal opinions.:eek:
