Called my local congressman's office and left a voice message. Called the offices of Bob Menendez and Henry Cuellar. Rep. Menendez's staff noted down my message and said they will pass it on. Rep. Cuellar's staff mentioned that some of the contents of the bills are contradictory to the things that he supports and got into talking about comprehensive reform. I politely listened to him and reiterated my request, mentioning that his support was very important to get moving on immigration reform. Have to call the other members now. Seemed quite daunting initially However I will try to finish calling the other members as well. Do we still call the office of Ciro Rodriguez ? Going by the postings, they seem to be against the bills.

I would change my contribution to $50 monthly if we have 1000+ members to sign up for the monthly contribution. Meanwhile, I would cancel my contribution if this goal cannot be achieved by all our 8400 members within the next two months. I cannot see any point if most people who suffer from the possibility of waiting for years would not contribute while I, who might be one of the least painful ones, contribute.
No offense, but, I would continue or increase my contribution, not because someone else is doing so or not doing so, or not if I would I get a tax break or not, but just because of my sheer appreciation of the IV core group's amazing efforts.
I have not (in the recent past) seen such a group of dedicated, decent and diginified people working together in a selfless manner to achieve something not only for their own good but for the good of hundreds and thousands of their fellow "sometimes not so polite, not so patient" sufferers.
I see my contribution to IV something similar to a contribution to a church or a temple. You give, not so that you'll benefit out of it, but because at the end of the day it is money well spent for a good cause.
If you benefit out of the efforts possible by your contribution, that's a nice bonus.
I don't look at my contribution as "I pay $20 I should get $100 in return".
For me, it is not an investment, but a good expenditure for worthy cause.

Same here, I have Masters from a very high rated US University and 10 years of experience, but was misguided by attorneys, as there was no retrogression when I applied. Ending up with EB3.
Members like I_Got_Skillz are new kids on the block, who think that only they got masters in the whole world. Just from their sign-in names you can tell how immature they are.
I think big changes like CIR, elimination of EB2 or legislative amendments are not feasible right now, and we should try for some low profile but effective changes that can be done by decision makers at USCIS itself, unnoticed by politicians. For example, somehow convincing USCIS to change their spillover rules, so that EB3-I can get some benefits. We can try to make them understand that doing this will eliminate a lot of their old time backlog and will increase their reputation among other federal departments.
ChrisRock, Raju & other EB3 members must realize as long as members like I_Got_Skillz are here who are lurking just to ruin any EB3 conversation, it is very difficult to come up with a solution.
Also, the idea that an EB2 is more skilled and EB3 is not, is wrong since EB2s are nothing but the same qualification with a few more years of experience and EB3s are the same but who have been misguided by the attorneys when retrogression was never there.
Example, in my case, I have a masters, 7 years of experience before starting my green card app. Currently, I have a total of 15 years of experience as of today working in various domains.
In my opinion if you are looking for a solution which is more radical but practical, it should be in a way where there is a highly skilled category which should be more like EB1 and the rest. I think EB2 should be eliminated and merge both EB3 & EB2 candidates and do a FIFO processing. Isn't this the way most of the countries in rest of the world gave their process?
These are all changes which cannot be done due to politics, but in my opinion is the right approach.
Even some of the IV state chapter leaders etc are people with EB2 apps and they shoot down anything which works to their disadvantages.
It is only the IV Core & a few other members which really care about the backlog irrespective of category.
Please note, I am not naming any state chapter leaders in particular, but I have observed via threads & posts how their line of thoughts are.

Pappu, please close this thread.
First of all, the topic of this thread is a total waste of time.
We hardly have enough support, funding, time etc. to fight GC related issue, and here people wasting time on discussing Citizenship! I am politely asking these people if any of you have contributed any of your time/money/effort to IV, Did you? Simply hypocrisy.
And top of that people in this thread are using extreme foul language.

The IV bus journey from NJ was very well planned and executed. All I had to do as a "participant" was indeed to just hop on....no fine print! On the bus and at the rally made some wonderful friends.
singhsa3, mpada and everyone who may have worked on the NJ/NY bus logistics, you have been excellent! Thank you IV core for providing this convenience.
IV handle "laborchic" who was on our NJ bus co-coordinating the minute details of to and fro journey with help from another selfless soul "amit_sp”, superbly handled stopovers, timings, ensuring that we reached rally on time and also more importantly that 'No child (read registered bus member) was left behind' and keeping driver happy etc....
Special thoughts also go to whoever came up and arranged the idea of the Gurudwara stopover during the forward journey. It was simply superb! We were able to catch up some sleep there and were fresh for the rally. The host at the the Gurudwara was most gracious. The facilities were good. We were grateful for the lovely breakfast and tea that was served.
The rally was very well organized, right to the minutest details. It was a wonderful effort from some really tired but focused and determined looking volunteer folks whom I saw scrambling around while we participants had it easy. During the rally got a good view of the Capitol Hill and other spots. The cops on motorbikes, cars and bicycles monitoring our procession looked an awesome sight. But that paled compared to the feeling of camaraderie and friendship that was overwhelming all of us folks in white IV T shirts.
Also saw faces behind IV handles, the core and other ever active ones, and found out that they were just like me, two hands two legs.... no horns or feathers. Realization then struck that what probably differentiated them from a lot of us was simply that they have reacted to the same problems you and I have in a smart, constructive and selfless manner.
This is what I could remember and share with few of you who unfortunately could not make it and a whole lot of you who did not make it. To the latter, the feeling of high I have now from having acted upon my normal demons is something I am not able to describe. I just feel it......

I just returned from an INFOPASS appointment for checking up on my case status.
Their systems were down! They could not access any records, and the IO kept saying that it's down and you should get a decision in a few months.
I was adamant, and asked her if it's possible to reach someone else at NSC - she called asked about my status - she kept saying, "good, good", and then she turns around and says that my case is approved :D:D:D, and that if I don't get my card in the next 30 days, (the usual stuff!). She then made a remark to the person from NSC that these guys know more about their cases than we do - as we go to the IO with all sorts of information about the VB.
I made sure that they verified my current address, as I had bought a house and moved about a year back, but wanted to make sure that the address was updated after filing the AR-11 back then.
So, the important lesson learnt was that cases are being approved, but the online systems are not being updated.
Just hold on... It's on it's way. Will provide an update once I get the cards.

Browing through the text it seems that SA180 has immigration provisions. Some amendments are agreed to, some are withdrawn and the rest are in "submitted" state. SA180 is in submitted state. Does it mean voted down?

My wife got her H1b petition approved but not the change of status, that is she did not get the I94 along with the approval (she was outside the country at the time of approval). I know that she should be going out of the country and get the visa before she can start working. But After some research I found that there is another option, which is filing "amendment petition".
Has anyone done this before. If anyone has done this please share your experiences.
Does she has any H1 visa stamped in her passport?

No forward movement in EB2 (I or C).
EB3 is "Unavailable" for all countries of chargebility.
Where did the visas go this? Who got them that they are already out of them??
