Totally agree with ya.
Unless crises strikes people and they are shatters they do not care.
Just see the old threads of EAD delays. All these people with EADs were sobbing on those threads pleading to IV to help them. Most did not have a donor status or had contributed a dime. They were on the verge of losing their jobs when IV helped them get their EADs on time. Now where are all those hundreds of people. Are they contributing a dime for the lobby day? I bet after 2 years, they will come again to IV and sob about EADs delays and ask IV to help them.
This is the part I am not agreeing with IV and don�t like very much. Why would IV ever need to help people who never bothered to contribute time or money?
If they can get it for free why would anyone wants to contribute ?

Agreed. Changing the spillover rule is the easiest in this bad economy.
How about we propose to USCIS/DOS to give spillover based on PD and not based on Category. This way EB3-I and EB2-I will move forward steadily without any fuss. I know initially it will help most of EB3-I but once EB3-I catches up with EB2-I then both can move forward together.
Just a thought. I am sure EB2-I will give me lots of reds but I don't care.
Well, we have to do something. Everybody got ideas but who is working on them? I am ready to send as many letters if needed but I need some help composing that letter bcoz I am not good at writing. Can somebody come forward for that?
I agreed with you.
Use spill over visa to give GC based on PD not on country specific. It will solve the backlog in 2 uears. Right now EB2 I and C getting spill over from EB1 as well from EB2 ROW.
This is not fair for EB3.

I rode the nc bus to dc (ok raised funds, booked the bus, cajoled/threatened people/got permissions/negotiated deals blah blah...in partnership with ramus and gc_prasad). We started at 2 am from RTP and were in fairfax by 7:00. there were 38 people on the bus including a 2 year old. :) IV had arranged for a halt at a gurudwara in fairfax - we spent about 45 minutes there cleaning up and drinking tea. The bus dropped us off at Franconia/Springfield metro at 8:15...we took a while figuring out those metro farecard vending machines. Some of them wouldn't give us change...some others wouldn't take credit cards. But we survived. In 10 minutes, 38 people had farecards and were raring to go. We got to the monument at half past 9...and folks were already lining up, holding placards. I only had time time to meet my company brethren from Cal and then paskal. I dropped off a stack of petitions with ashish (hopefully they made it to IVs pile). The nc contingent walked together most of the way to the capitol...it was a truly great feeling, having people honk, wave and generally be nice. I could never have imagined myself out on the street, fighting against broken systems...in front of the US Capitol. But yah, it happened. During the speeches, i walked around the audience, asking folks to turn their placards to face their cameras...(something to learn for next time - thats why political events have twin sided placards - so that cameras facing the speaker get the message). After the rally, i got to one lawmaker meeting with????'s staff. They were pretty cool to talk to...while they may be aware of some broad issue with legal immigration, they seemed to fall into the "oh you are talking about h1b quota" trap. We set the framework for discussion early on and clarified the "we are talking about gcs here" point.
Some of my nc colleagues went on to meet ???? - they had a productive meeting there too...perhaps Rahul will write about it. After the meetings we made our way back to the franconia metro, had dinner at the springfield mall food court and left there by 8 pm. We were back in RTP by midnight. In all 22 hours...well spent!

http://picasaweb.google.com/wolfpok/SkilledImmigrantRallyInWashingtonDCSeptember18th
one of the things I did today was send out a note to all my friends groups...while most people seemed to ignore all pleas to join the rally or contribute $, they all seemed to be watching curiously. A lot of them feared going to the rally...some others didnt care. Some others even promised to show up and didn't. But i believe we need the support of these very people, if IV has to grow and become an even stronger force in the future...I shall copy paste wot i wrote, and i encourage all to write to their skeptic friends...only to point to a positive experience and ask for their future participation. So i quote...
"Some might wonder why we participated? Well, how could we give up on a chance to make history and truly understand what it means to live in a democracy. Its not about desperation for a green card, its about fairness and dignity. We believe that we have the right to a fair, open and predictable process and anything else is an affront to our dignity. We believe that the system is broken and can be changed. But change to the system will not come overnight and it will definitely not come with us keeping quiet. So we got out and did what we knew was possible - get the message out, propose solutions, meet congressmen and appeal to people's conscience.
In participating in this movement for change, we realized something else that we would like to share. We realize that the struggle for a fair immigration process is but a process of change just like struggles against oppresion and prejudice of different severities. The only difference is that its a question of dignity and fair process versus segregated facilities and disenfranchisement. Accept one and you accept the other. So if we wonder how the world could have every been a certain way in the past, we don't have to look beyond ourselves. Honest and well intentioned as we might be, if we cannot stand up and say something about something that affects our rights and freedoms as individuals, we are saying that we are OK with all that is around us.
thanks to all who offered support! if you are still on the sidelines, do get involved! Our success depends on all of us making a contribution!"

You should have only one I485 application pending at a given time. If you file a second application your lawyer would advise you to withdraw the first one.
Personally, I prefer an AOS to consular processing since I am in a stable job and of course my spouse would need EAD.
So the answer to your question is that you do what is best given your situation.
Also, since dependants are currently counted in the 140,000 available EB visa, it does not matter if you use one or both of your approved 140.

snathan, your selflessness is inspiring! You followed through and went to the lawyer even though your labor got approved. Good things will come your way.
I have been stuck in audit since December. I am willing to participate/help out although I do belive not much will come out of it. Our cases will take the time they need since it's very hard to rush govt agencies. Especially since immigration is considered a "benefit" (albeit privilege).

when is yr EAD expiring ? what about H1 -- if you have given up that then there is not much that you can do ..other than infopass etc. I think logically speaking ,,I should be getting EAD the fastest (there are few more like me) ..who go card prod ordered in june ..so as soon as I get it ..I will post here.
it seems that this has become #1 issue for many people like me ...
as for me ..I have a plan B ...unpaid vacation ...one of my friends had told me once ...you shd enjoy life along the road and not at the end of it :D ..USCIS is doing that for me
It is expiring on Sep 19th and I dont have H1. Im not concerned about taking unpaid vacation, but the real issue is if my employer will continue to keep me in the job. It would be really scary trying to find a new job in this market. So far I have not alerted or gave any hint to my employer. I will see when the time comes.
But the sad part is that USCIS is working in a erratic way and there is no way to find out what exactly the situation is about a particular case.
Going to infopass is not an easy task as it is 100 miles from where I live and driving to and fro without any kind of hope is useless either.
I will wait for few more days will approach the congressman office and see what they can do.

Is there a system in place, for TSC ONLY, using which, an immigration attorney, who is an AILA member, can send an email, with LIN numbers (or A #, i am not sure which), to TSC, if the PD is current? Once this email is received, the system flags the case to be picked up by an IO?
This system was put in place a couple of years ago, but I am not sure if it is still active, or if it is active, does TSC even bothers monitoring it.
Thank you for the answer. I dont have any attorney. I did whole GC process by myself.

05/05/2008: USCIS Revises "Significantly" Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) Interpretation & Guidance 04/30/2008
The Acting Associate Director, Domestic Opertions, USCIS, Mr. Donald Neufeld, issued a memorandum on April 30, 2008 to significantly revise Adjudicators Field Manuals(AFM) in the subject of CSPA and replacing previous and current guidances, "The Child Status Protection Act," issued September 20, 2002; and "The Child Status Protection Act � Memorandum Number 2", issued February 14, 2003. This guidance significantly modifies a prior interpretation of certain provisions of the CSPA. In particular, it changes how the agency interprets the statute to apply to aliens who aged out prior to the enactment date of the CSPA. It also permits those individuals who were ineligible under the prior policy to file a new application for permanent residence. Under certain circumstances, this guidance also permits those individuals who were previously denied for CSPA to file motions to reopen or reconsider without filing fee. It also explains what steps certain aliens who do not automatically benefit from the CSPA can take to protect their status as a child.

I'm really concerned now, as like many I've also shipped my paper work to the attorney, but have NO control on when they are going to file.

1) Asked Pdakwala, if his last name meant postman. He said Yes, I am the one who gets receipt notices.
2) GSC999 - what is the announcement that you just made? He said, no announcement - I talk loud.
3) Getting a call from paskal on Monday midnight to tell me that the hotel had ended business with them. I said, I am in China Town with the IL chapter folks - You can join. He said, aman is taking him to some hotel alexandria or such.
4) At the airport on the way back, paskal giving me a lecture on why being scared of wife is good, when all I asked was "why don't u eat a slice of pizza like me before boarding your flight?" He started to piece together things I had emailed in the past few days. Paskal and I happened to have different flights to Chicago and Minneapolis at gates closer to each other. Paskal seemed flustered with a few hours delay.

give me concrete agenda. I am not for amnesty and those illegals are holding our agenda hostage. We need to only focus on piece meal legislation for legal immigrants.

Hey, I am still left with 5 more days for my 90 day period. Would you suggest me to go ahead and take the Info pass?? Am not sure, does the info pass schedule has a waiting period too?
I would suggest to go ahead and take infopass appointment as the chances are that you might not get appointment right away, if you have a choice on selecting dates, take one after 5 days, so you have passed 90th day.
take the PDF june 12th memo with you as well.
If you are lucky and get your card prod. email , you can cancel infopass anytime.
