Dear IV Members,
Just want to share some personal information with you. I was quite skeptical about such events myself, but after attending the previous advocacy event, I learnt that these efforts do really bear fruits. IV is graciuosly taking respinsibility for all the logistics of the event and speaking for you and me, SELFLESSLY, I must add. So, please make the effort to attend and I, for one, can assure you that you will not be disappointed and leave with a satisfaction that there are countless others who are in the same boat as you are and are making an effort to better the situation. And IV is always there to help!
So, please make every effort to attend this event!
Sincerely,
av2004

I am seeing several people contacting Congressman and opening service requests. These guys seem to have become current just this month and they do not have any patience. It is crazy in my opinion. As pointed out earlier there is lot of herd mentality on the forums and if one person posts, everyone else does the same. Some people I have seen on the forum call customer service every day to get case status. I urge people to read and try to understand the process than blindly following what others are doing. Secondly as posted earlier, tracking is also useless and a waste of time. It will not help you get your green card any faster. Have some patience and follow the process. Starting a service request as soon as your date gets current, cannot help you.
Exactly! I couldn't agree more. The mentalities of some, baffles. You would think that being in this country for a while some sensibilities would prevail. As for the "predictions' --I get SOME of what's being said, but I do not see anything of substance coming off all that incredible effort. In some ways, it reminds of me the days of old, when picking flower petals decided if someone loved you.

Hi Guys,
Place A has mentioned as the place of birth in my passport and place B has been mentioned as the place of birth in my Birth certificate. Distance between place A and 5 or approximately 3 miles and both the places comes under one Taluk/Mandal.
I would like to know is this going to be a problem in I485/AOS status, if so can you please suggest some way to overcome this problem?
Thanks very much.
Don't worry, this is not a problem. I don't think they compare the city in the Birth certificate city with city in the Passport. You will be fine. Good luck!

Aha! just found out about the H2A Visa, which was what was exactly needed for labour and agriculture and already exists. This visa is very much like a H1b in protecting wages of american labourers, and exists for immigrants from Mexico.
Thank you attorney Greg Siskind for the information.
But no they want Citizenship directly and dont want to go through the hassle of Visa, when its easier to cross the border with no background check. The H-2A mandated they compete with American citizens for the job.
They have shown that they choose to break laws when there was a legal option available. Someone mentioned earlier that they have no options.
The H2A ensures only quality labourers and agriculture workers are hired, instead of criminals. Well this is one option for a legal path to illegals. If someone cannot qualify for a H-2A, then they probably have something that very negative in their resume.
The employer had to pay only $100 for the application and $10 for each labourer.
Well if an illegal without H-2A is considered for amnesty, I can't believe a H-1B is being completely ignored for all his contributions. Just shows some basic human values, fairness are completely absent.

I had posted my response to this idea before on this thread. So you know IV's position. For something like this you need to get several Greencard holder members involved and approach it very differently. You started the thread on 04-07-2008 but see nothing happens until someone starts working beyond starting a thread. There are many threads that come up on websites with new ideas and everyone comments on them. But if nobody is willing to work everyday on his idea, spend their own money on it , take time off several times in a year to travel and meet lawmakers, prepare documents and presentations for your idea to distribute ad go with in meetings, organize conference calls between group every weekend and sometimes every other week day, talk to various people during your own office hours and between your personal and professional life, it is simply not possible to work on an idea. Unless there is any sacrifice there is no chance of any gain in pursuing any idea, however brilliant it maybe. These ideas get buried in threads on the forums if they are not pursued sincerely.

One's life time is too short to determine whether changing citizenship to US citizenship is worth or not. And hence to define it as a "wisdom" or "short sightedness" is also almost impossible. Two school of thoughts can just pop up 1) What would be the gain vis a vis loss changing citizenship 2) why one should get rid of the citizenship where one was born. And both of them are more realted with philosophical and moral issues rather than short term material gain...
Bharatpremi,
I accept what you say. But consider this psychological issue: You lived in a country which is 100% different in every thing for most of the life time and then going back after you think to retire. All your kids are either born or grown up here and they no longer wish to come with you when you want to go to your parent country. Again you will be living alone in another country. Instead, we can get our Citizenship and live atleast near our kids. Further, if you are detached with the wordly things and wish to live alone, it is OK.
One more thing, we have come here wantedly without thinking about the future and at all stages of our life we will be confused. I have seen some people with determined mind. They come at the age of 20 - 25, earn a lot, get married to working women, both of them work here , have kids (US citizens), and they go back to their parent country with good money when the kids become 7 years old and both husband and wife will be in the mid of thier carrier. But it is not the case for majority of the people. Many have come with grown up kids etc., and they can not just like that go back. Necessarily they are bound to be here and atleast for those people, to live without anxiety, I would like to have the citizenship process to happen faster if they live here legally for 10 years.

my name was not interview with my family.
my family gave interview and embassy asked for original I140 and I824 approval notices to check my eligibility.
i submitted and now after 2 weaks got the follwing reply:
In your case , the I-140 was filed on sept 10, 2001 and approved on october 08, 2003. The visa became available on october 08, 2003 . Form I-824 was not filed within one year of visa became available. <my name> was born on January 03, 1986. because he (me) is above 21 years old an immigrant visa as a derivative beneficiary of Employment third prefrence (e3) immigrant visa category cannot be inssued to <my name>. In order to qualify for a visa, he (me) would need to benifit from CSPA. Since form I-824 was not filed within one year of visa becoming available on October 08, 2003.
<my name> cannot be processed under CSPA.
SO plz help me with right advice and solution so that i can travel with my family.
my mom and bro got te visa and it will expire in 6 monts and i want to go with them, can i be able to get visa in any case before their visa expire?
i badly need help.
Hi
Seems your only option is to sue. There are acoup,le of cpsa cases that even though they did not file within one year of visa approval because the alien sought legal advise, the benefit was granted
This cspa is sooooooooooo badly written and must be amended, still waiting on my cspa court case !
The other side has agreed with 90% of my case so just have to supply the other 10% proof

You are laying your own immaturity out there by rambling on and on about vague facts and statements only to make the same point again and again - that you think IV does not represent EB3. Why dont you state that one line and save us the trouble of reading your meaningless drivel??
yes, this rant is oft repeated by around 5-6 members who do NOT represent the thousands of EB folks (EB2 AND EB3) who are affected by this mess.
So before you start one of your long drawn essays again, step back and THINK (which you do not seem to be doing at all..or are not capable of doing) about whether you are contributing even one bit to solving the problem or trying to add to the problem. we can do a lot more if we spend less time trying to drill sense into wayward people like you.
Think about -
1) how many lawmakers you have met till date to resolve the EB3 problem (which you accuse IV of not solving). Have you asked a lawmaker while per country limits cannot be removed....an act which will remove all EB3 backlog??
2) how many IV advocacy events have you attended?
Yes forever_waiting it is surprising and shocking to see how a discussion on an EB Bill which will never see the light of the day has degenerated into an oft-repeated rant
By using the keyword
oft-repeated (i will ignore the word rant because only an immature mind will call the other side of a discussion as rant) it
would imply that many EB3 members have raised the same concern in this forum before and i am not the first and believe me when i say this i will not be the last also. So that would mean a whole bunch of people (remember eb3 are 50 k and eb2 are 12k) have the same concern and they have raised the same concern in this same forum so that would mean IV is aware of the concern.
Now what has
IV done about it ??
Meeting a lawmaker with the support of IV behind you is not a reflection of a big effort on your side. The power behind that is IV. Now for me or any other EB3 to meet a law maker is not something i would consider an effort since EB3 are willing to put the same effort which you are putting only if they believein what they are doing. To believe a person needs to feel that they are working for a cause that will impact their situation. Sadly this is missing and that is why EB3 people are cool about the whole meet the law maker process
Regarding the statement I repeat the IV provisions which are for ALL EB and not any specific category/country. THe problem with EB3 is the with the way the EB system/inventory is set-up. What specific steps has IV articulated to resolve the specific issue of EB3
By your own definition this is a chronic issue and what we are taught is that any issue which is chronic needs to be redressed and when it is not it becomes a big issue which cannot be handled
As always, there is the name calling stating that EB3 people aarmchair critics and winers but you are part of a community and you have issues you will air your greviences in the same community not to some one who has no idea or does notcare about it
What is really suprising and shocking is that in EB community itself EB2 does not care to listen and provide and open discussion about EB3 issues. Now according to me that is shocking
BTW i commend your effort of meeting the law maker but if you introspect the only reason you are making an effort is because you believe your efforts will bear fruit in the form of a GC soon (I believe you are EB2 with a priority date of Apr 08)

People have various reasons for not participating ...its simple basic PR...IV as an organisation needs to frequently remind them of the good work IV has accomplished in maybe a regular newsletter...list out various needs that need attention and require volunteers for clearly defined roles...and be positive and coherent when replying to member's queries. Lashing out at members for asking simple questions is huge "no-no" for any organisation.

I think spillover method has not been changed since years. The only puzzle is that whether it is horizontal or vertical or combination of both that USCIS works with we exactly do not know.
Do you guys agree ?
In my opinion equal share of spillover count to oversubscribed EB categories for a particular year would be the final and legitimate solution.

The trend evey year is most approval coming from TSC not NSC. Why can't we suggest to close NSC so that all the approval could come from one place.
