I am thinking we need to wait a long time for the 485 to get approved, mainly due to the volume of the applications due to this huge movement in the PDs.

02/02/2007: Senate Passed H.R. 2 Without Immigration Reform Bills
During the debate, the immigration reform bill introduced by Senator Kerry as Title VI was agreed to, but it appears that at the last minute the immigration reform bills were sliced off along with all other bills which are not related to the minimum wage in passing H.R. 2 at 5:00 p.m. by the Senate. We incorrectly recorted the immigration bills were part of the H.R. 2 which the Senate passed yesterday. The final H.R. 2 bill passed by the Senate is expected to go to the Senate-Haouse Conference committee.

I had a friend who tried to register but the website wouldn't because he has yet to file his LC, can someone confirm this? otherwise I will personally help my friend if he is making any mistake.
He is forwarding to his Chinese friends to spread the word..
thanks,
What your friend can do is enter the tentative month he thinks his LC is going to be filed. He can always update his user profile once the LC is actually filed. I would however request all members who are introducing others to request them to enter a valid email that they access frequently. IV is not in the business of selling emails or sending junk mail. But valid and regularly accessed emails are a vital tool in getting members involved when a significant push is needed.

Hi All,
I have just signed up for $20 contribution per month. Already contributed about $250 dollars until now.
I tried to get many of my friends in OHIO to enroll, but they just don't trust these efforts. I tried to convince them a lot but, they think everything will be resolved automatically and especially does not want to contribute even a $ for these kind of efforts. It's a shame on us that we tend to be the same backhome as well as here. Just use and use for free and never contribute anything back.

I like the idea of creating a seperate e-mail account so everyone can send their information to it. Faxing a signature should not be an issue for many of us either.

Remember Lame duck session. Now imagine having twice as many members, double the number of phone calls and faxes and emails. Double the activity and contributions.
We do have to make sure that next time (read: Jan 2007) We go with a bigger organisation. What is the use of talking strategy or doing things with the same number of people.
Leave the strategy to the core team, Please help out with adding members.

Guys, Please do not ridicule saralayar. he has raised a very valid point. We are so involved with the GC issue that we are not able to think beyond that. I do agree with the fact that IV is so preoccupoed with GC crisis that there is no point (or bandwidth) to raise citizenship issue. I have seen so many of my friends who came with me in US 8 years ago and are citizens by now but I am still struggling with GC with no hope in site. Sometime, I think, by the time, I will get GC (if I), they will become sr citizen :) it feels very bad but cant help it.
Funny:D:D:D
Somebody was asking that the retirement age be lowered. Gosh! and retire immediately on becoming a citizen?

My guess is it will take at least a year for EB3 to move beyond 2004.
If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.

I guess, it is the 13th ....such an unlucky number.:eek:.Just kidding..When all of us are so anxious about this..I can't even begin to imagine what our EB-3 friends are going through. Especially to whose who have been waiting for almost a decade (or more) and still stuck..
I guess, we should take all this news with a pinch of salt..
Cheers
It looks like November 2005, Jan 2006 and Feb 2006 priority dates are somehow lumped together. Of course mine is December and far be it from being even considered :)
gbof and anilkumar... I think this is the hardest wait for us. I hope the two of you and all others get approved soon enough.

Retrogression in Various Steps of the GC process
While January 2005 was the first time since July 2001 there was retrogression for the EB-3 category (01/01/02 for both China and India), the US continues to maintain protectionism through their immigration system.
Retrogression in Labor Certification: Between 2002 and 2005, there was severe retrogression as far as labor certifications were concerned. Then came the PERM in March 2005 and for a couple of years, they boasted labor certification with 3 to 6 months time. Of late I think it is taking more than 6 months for LC approvals even through PERM.
Retrogression in I-140 Approvals: I do not remember when the USCIS suspended the premium processing for I-140 but even before they did that, they managed protectionism by delaying the approval of I-140. As per some one's posting, it is now taking 14 months for an I-140 approval.
Retrogression of I-485 Approvals: Post July 2007 VB, even a 1st year engineering student from India, studying the American immigration system, can tell you it could take years (not the current 6-9 months processing time) for approval of I-485s. The delay in approving an I-485 petition is not subject to the the July 2007 Visa Bulletin alone, it cannot also escape 'protectionism-tainted' FBI name check delay.
I may sound like quite a pessimist, but add to all this the possible denials for PLC (permanent labor certification), I-140, EAD, AP & I-485s.
My $0.02 - IE
Very Good Presentation.

WOW!!.. 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"....
You and your fake friends.
I remember your posts where you claimed that your friends are ready to contribute huge amounts of money to IV.
Where have they gone now when a funding drive was started?
You cannot even contribute a mere $25 and talk about contributing thousands?
Please avoid trying to make tall claims and promises you cannot keep. It makes a man lose his credibility. A man is known and is respected by the word he keeps.
This Totoro guy is at least doing something and going to meet a lawmaker office? Have you ever had the courage to visit a lawmaker. I only saw posts where you were asking people to send spam emails annonymously to lawmaker offices.
If you are asking him to enterreal profile information, May I ask you if your profile is real? Does it have your real name, phone address, main email, employer name etc in it? Moderators can verfy it? If not then you are also are like most other annonymous users on the internet.
Let us get real and recognize those who are trying to do something genguine. This guy has already emailed IV about himself so why are you trying to distract people.

Hi Anshal,
Please check this CSPA clause (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0) (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0)
"(5) Visa Availability Date Regression . If a visa availability date regresses, and an alien has already filed a Form I-485 based on an approved Form I-130 or Form I-140, USCIS should retain the Form I-485 and note the visa availability date at the time the Form I-485 was filed. Once the visa number again becomes available for that preference category, determine whether the beneficiary is a “child” using the visa availability date marked on the Form I-485. If, however, an alien has not filed a Form I-485 prior to the visa availability date regressing, and then files a Form I-485 when the visa availability date again becomes current, the alien’s “age” should be determined using the subsequent visa availability date."
Speak to your attorney and post his/her views please.
Thanks,
My lawyer is confused on this so I asked Greg Siskind on his blog during July Fiasco his reply "I think you're going to be in good shape on your son".
Should I get another opinion? does USCIS send letter saying your child age is locked? we have received the EAD and AP.
Thanks for your reply.
