The good thing is eliminating the country quota is always lumped with doubling the total quota and/or recapturing previous years waste, so hopefully the affect evens itself out.. Eliminating the coutry qouta by itself is a disaster.
the elimination of country quotas alone only redistributes pain...where our goal is to end everyone's pain. we asked for all the measures on our agenda and we support the whole package together. we want a better immigration system for everyone.

We have added 1000+ members in the last 2 months. Can we add 1000+ in one month?. Interestingly, Active members are still around the same number.
Please follow up with all the new folks that you have helped register at IV.
Congrats to all of you who are actively making it happen.

- You can add immigrationvoice.org link and a short message to any email with jokes, cartoons etc you forward. Talk about this serious stuff and then say, ... now some humor. This will ensure that the message of Immigrationvoice goes far and wide.
- Make lot of photocopies of IV flyers from the http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=36
volunteer section and keep in your car. Whenever you go to a mall, railway station, store or temple etc and see any South Asian, Asian, etc nationality people (since such nationalities are mostly affected by retrogresssion) hand over a copy each to them. Tell them breifly about IV. This technique has worked very well in spreading the message.
- use the invite a friend email tool. http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_iv_invite_friends&Itemid=55
- Add Immigrationvoice.org link in the signature of your personal email. So every email you write will have this link.

weldon springs, follow my posts. you are right, TSC is doing a better job. look at my previous post, they even renewed my Ead from the date of expiry of the previous one, so that we dont pay money for nothing. my EAD got renewd in exactly 4 days..
I am feeling very envious of people having their applications processed at the TSC. TSC as seen by the examples above are renewing EAD in 2 weeks.
However, NSC is taking 2 months to process these EADs. There is a big difference between processing logic at NSC v/s TSC
I think the employee diversity at TSC is big compared to NSC. Therefore, people add their heart to work and processing is faster. In other words, Intent is pure. If you pay a higher fee for a service you get the return.
Contrast that with NSC. The employee diversity is poor. Employees are working just because it is a government job and their intentions are questionable, therefore a big lag in processing.
Hope the courts teach NSC a lesson, that nobody is above the law and they should be processing cases quickly as compared to their TSC counterparts. Hope somebody is listening.

I gave you a genuine idea to go and meet your lawmaker. You ignored that.
Why can't you speak for yourself and stand on your own feet. Are you illegal in this country?
If you still want to do more, then contact IV and volunteer with them or help them. Do not try and become someone's agent to increase their business.
What the point of meeting a law maker, exchange pleasantries? They aren't going to write a Bill because 1 person said so.
Read my post again, I am legal, EB2 India I-140 approved.
Repeat, Not associated with any lawyer or party.
I am trying to get people to join together - but you can't see that.

Yes, that is and was the case, but after this fiasco, approving 18k cases in a single day, I dont think they can play that game any more.
Visas are getting wasted, because they sit on their "chairs" not working on the cases. Not because there are not many applications.

I completely agree, only another massive awakening can do something for us. Obama seems to be willing to go ahead with atleast initiating CIR this year. He says for people who have been here for years there should be some way to come out of the shadows.
My dear friends, it is time to forget our narrow mindendness and stand united and fight. There has to be someway of reducing the processing time to <5 years. If you are planning hunger strike or whatever please inform us and we will be there. If you want to send flowers to Nepolitano, obama or whoever let us know and we will be there. There definitely is a need to do something right now.
First of all:- We all need to somehow get over the major stumbling block and that is to isolate his/her own problem from others. Right now we have many different set of problems and only people with the same problem act together.
For eg:-
there are people like me who have LC picked up for audit (so why do I care about 485 backlog??)
There are others who have applied 485 and their PD are older (their problem seems lighter so why should they really worry)
There are others who have kids who are aged out/about to age out (why would I care about them??)
What we have to realize is that, just as when you drop a stone into a pond the ripples travel wit equal force in all the direction, when we identify with problem of others (even though we might not benefit from it at all) we are at least becoming a community that has strength.
IV leaders make a plan and count all of us ( I mean all of us will join and will get atleast 2 others to join).
Let us show that we are also a community which can love each other and fight for each other rather than a group of selfish people rowing the boat in different directions.
LET OUR CRUSADE BEGIN................:):):):)

There is a laundry list of things which are all good. Unfortunately I dont see anything realted to the ability to file 485 when priority date is not current.
I guess it does not matter since this never passed. I can only hope that this does not become a trend and 485 measure is forgotten
I apologize for this mistake to everyone .....I changed the header to reflect my error.

I may be completely wrong but this is what I see on thomas.loc.gov
Appended to the Minimum wage bill was SA187 which amends SA112 sponsored by John Kerry and consponsored by Sununu, Snowe, Landrieu and Lieberman.
Senate Amendment SA 187 seems to have passed with unanimous consent. This is what it apparently contains among a lot of other stuff... Please correct me if I am wrong.
