My dauther is 22 years and 8 month old.
We have not received an official notification from CIS yet, but she is aged-out according to the way the formula is applied.
I started my case (EB-3) with DOL in Sep.08,05 when she was 20 and a half years old; My I-140 was approved on Aug.02,05. I had to wait almost 1 year for a visa. On Jul.2,07 I sent I-485s and I-765s. We have received the Work Permits and the apointment notices for the biometrics for each member of my family, including my daughter.
I live in Falls Church, Virginia, so I went to Jim Moran's office (my House representative) to explain my case, how the CSPA fails and ask him to request CIS to apply the law in a different way (I would say in the right way). I talked to one of his staffers but he said that the law is very clear about the time the case is considered in process (only considers the time the I-140 was in process). As you know, CSPA does not consider the time in DOL nor the time waintg for a visa (retrogression).
Also my daughter has talked to Senator Webb and he wanted to know how many cases are beeing affected, particularly in Virginia, to see if there are several cases, then something can be done.
I was wondering if any one has heard about any change on CSPA and if someone know where can I find how many cases are being affected by this nightmare or if someone has started something to have this law be doing the right thing: to protect children and families.
Thanks for your help

texcan, it is a bit off topic but it is so funny.....
This really captures a lot of what all the "desis" do. Eat a lot of food and watch movies.
Me and my friends joke about it all the time. We try very hard to break from it but its really hard.
On a serious note I agree one should live life to the fullest but I think there is a balance.
Money is not everything but one shouldn't go bankrupt or end up in foreclosure trying to live life to the fullest.
I know those desis who are super savers and will never improve life style and I know those who are always on the edge of bankruptcy because they wanted to live the american dream.
I believe there are always two camps in any group, different view points, ideas and observations.
I firmly believe even if words are harsh from some members they donot mean that bad, or they just simply cant see other's view point.
Over last few year, i have observed something and that bothers me, the point is
"We (Indians) are interesting people, we want to live as an indian in america";
save a lot of money, go home(india) for 15 days ....say bad things about india
and then come here...start saying bad things about america.
I like some points aobut half hearted work from some fellows. I totally agree.
Here is my simply take, if we want to live and compete hapilly, we have to really live in america as an american.
How can an indian who slept all afternoon on weekend, then watched a movie and ate heavy dinnner at night with 5 indian families who all taked about negative things in america; will /can compete with american on monday morning...when this american
got up early on saturday, ran 10 miles ...full of energy....took his/her kids for camping or went on its own, ran /exercised on sunday may be a long trek in woods...he is fresh, ready to work, creative...
I donot think anyone who slept all week/watched movie/talked negative about american society /about america can compete with someone who lived for full weekend.
These are just small observations.
In short, most of us are still living an indian life in america. This will not take us far,
If we want to be happy we got to live as an american in america.
Money is not everything,a big bankbalance will do no good to anyone at age of 65 when you cant move your leg let apart run or play.
I also believe, we (indians) donot give time to ourselves. Ex. husband, wife, kids all together all the time. No good, give time to yourself, do somtihngs togehter and some things seperately, This will give time to observe life as an individual too.
how many indian go out for just all boys groupings, not many. Why??? how bad it can be, when you just go out kick some dust drink beer if you please, atleast releax.
When i started doing it, it was lot of fun.
Same should be with girls, wives, you all should go out and do things with your friends for a change.
same for kids, if your kids want to go camping with school friends, let them go. Let kids live their life. Imaging what your kids talks about weekend, when rest of american kids talk about running in wood, fishing, hunting, mud racing.....????
Just my thoughts and i believe in living life to fullest; and try to live it to fullest too.

message from IV
Despite the offensive posts and badmouthing on IV site and other sites we are keeping everyone in mind when working on our lobbying effort. We had posted messages in the past about this too. IV does not advice any flower campaign etc without consulting with us. Any wrong move can potentially hurt the interest of this community and the advocacy work we are doing. Please stop posting offensive messages and stop fighting with other members of the community.
=======================
Message from IV for BEC victims
We are aware of the issue and if there is any acion item, we will post it.
also be aware of what we posted earlier on this issue:

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=100024#post100024
=========================
=========================
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

I have mixed opinion about that. Say, hypothetically she attends rally, then everyone is going to think that she is biased towards legal immigrants.
It would be better if people looks at her as a non biased person, her word is more powerful that way.
Its just my opinion.
Please inform her about the rally in San Jose on Saturday. It would be great if we can get her support !

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website....

I had observed this last summer also that most of the CPO emails are received at night. In my opinion, it is probably due to the fact that they run these external communications as batch jobs at night, which is usually the case in any high volume corporate type IT systems.
So guys, relax and check you emails at night :-)
We will be happy if it will have more volume

...and what's the point of this discussion here? The point is not lost on anyone here that such bill(s) are needed and passed. So I am not quite sure what you hope to achieve by this poll - will this lead to any action on your part to write up such a bill or talk to your congressmen/women about the points discussed here? :confused:
I think a lot of people here just like to discuss the hell out of this topic just make themselves feel better! :rolleyes:

May be the Title need to be changed.
"URGENT CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED. TIME RUNNING OUT. NOW OR NEVER" kind of...
People might be thinking that this thread is to discuss Integrity of Core Group.
Someone from Core group pls Update the Link and see if it works..
My 2 cents.
I think it is a good idea to make the title more prominent, like red, big, bold font, hightlighted...
As a matter of fact, I didn't notice it when I came here two days ago. I was thinking it was something for running the website in a long term. Only when I saw many people were talking in this thread did I know that there are some urgent and serious things going on.

In fact I am relieved that experienced people like you and nolaIndian are coming to DC; I will need your encouragement. My dog and I have started walking 10 miles on Sat/Sun. We have also started running/walking 4 miles on weekdays.

Once you signup, you will have a deadline to work towards and that will be the greatest incentive that you can have.
I am not up for any fights ... Peace

Guys,
Atleast now start thinking about Citizenship. For getting the GC, there are lot of hurdles. Most of us are living in this country for more than a decade and still our status is "Alien". We are legally here paying lot of Tax, Social Security , Medicare Tax etc.,
Please go through my thread on Citizenship and start working on that. Instead of wasting our time on GC, let us make an important Agenda and express our views on the path to Citizenship, so that Congress will think about it.

well I would like to add, I do know details of how a Bill gets created, is reviewed, gets to the Floor of the house, Senate and becomes law.
I do know that once a member of either house presents a Bill, it has to be sponsored, supported by others and go to a sub-committee first. sometimes gets added to other bills.
lets assume by luck or other means it somehow makes it to the floor.
Lets get educated first on the process before we start assuming anything - How a bill becomes a law (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/7/7c/How_a_bill_becomes_a_law.pdf). We will then understand how to advocate for the changes we are seeking...
