Is there any way to distinguish contributing members from non-contributing members when they post on forums ... something like adding a field to "Join date", etc. to show whether they are contributing. This will at least persuade some members to contribute out of shame...
Members, please contribute... some of you may be thinking that why contribute if we are not yet ready to file I-485... But, just think that getting the bill passed now will definitely help you in the future... I am still at my LC stage and it is currently rotting in PBEC - but I decided to contribute because I want to be in a better position when I get to 485 stage...
Please contribute.

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).

Can IV and Mr. Gotcher help us in preparing draft of the letter. We can send flowers and letter to the person that IV and Mr. Gotcher recommends. As I said before this group is willing to collect additional funds for lobbying for this purpose.
Till Ron is still working on the draft. I will update if its ready.

Guys,
Again, post your field of work. I somehow see reluctance here on the part of posters. 2 to 3 have done so, but the rest have not. If it is only IT for the major part, we have to analyse and see why IT is being targeted for audits... ?
thanks!
I think all the fields are getting targeted. I am not from IT. As per my attorney, current situation is that PERMS for EB2's are getting 100% audited.

Can you tell what reasons you had given for the Expedite Request?
I have told them that Im the only bread earner of the family and the cost of living in the area that i live is very high and that I have bills to pay. But they have denied my request. i dont know what other financial hardship should I show them. Maybe I should declare bankruptcy and then send that over to USCIS to show that I really have financial hardship.
I have infopass appointment on 14th I will try to raise the same issue again and see what they will say

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.

My guess is it will take at least a year for EB3 to move beyond 2004.
If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

We EB3 folks are not requesting for EB2 visas. We all will be happy to get 50% EB1 spill over visas. The other 50% can go to Eb2s.
right now 100% of EB1 spill over is going to EB2.
Eb2 category gets 28.6% Visa number. Any spillover from EEB2 will only go the EB2. Why would USCIS change the rule and allocate the visa numbers from EB2 to Eb3. This does not make sense. I agree that spillover from Eb1 can go to both EB2 and EB3. There is no way this argument will fly that EB2 numbers be allocated to EB3. This is a statue and USCIS cannot deviate from that. They will face a lawsuit if they do so. USCIS is using the correct spillover procedue and I dont think they will change it. The only argument EB3 should make it that spillover from EB1 should go to both EB2 and EB3.
It is not individual qualifications that matter but it is the job requirement. So if you are in EB3 try to port it to EB2. Nothing else will matter.

Guys,
What do I make out of this? U think once assigned to an officer thgs shud start moving? Or...even after getting assigned to an IO thgs can go bad? Has any thing of that sort also happened? Just curious so I can be prepared...
Thanx
When I Spoke to the IO on August 2nd he said that case is assigned to an Officer as of July 28th. I am still waiting.
I think it depends upon where your file is in the Pile of files assigned to a officer.

Illegals have nothing to lose. If CIR happens...they celebrate, now that they can all be legal and apply for their families to follow them
If CIR does not happen...they still continue to live here, work their jobs, keep sending money home, and try and get their relatives over here by paying the "coyotes"...it makes no difference to them.
Even if these guys are legalised, they will still NOT pay taxes, NOT learn english, NOT try and be upstanding residents.
WE (EB) have none of the above and a lot to lose)
Hence, the attitude.
This is a great point. Also I see these days, people seem to miss what is 'Right' and 'Wrong', 'Fair' and 'Unfair'. Doesn't seem to matter much anymore - let Inertia rule.
"Even illigal immigrants has more optimism"
They succesfully broke the law and think they are above most laws now
"If your lawyer and HR screwed you, it is your fault"
Yes apparently this is happening for more than 100K EB3s. Bonded labor? well don't trash EB3s - you have to be very good to get an American company to file an EB green card.
"Well educated and intelligent - Who? Did you mean Durbin and Grassley?"
Well, Lets be diplomatic :-)
Also I'm curious, why would someone give me Neg reps, are illegals lurking on these boards?

I have contacted congressmen and senators to try to highlight this issue and to be totally honest most of them have so little knowledge of immigration law they do not even understand the problem.
The CIS do not care, they follow the rules.
It is attention much higher up that is needed on Capitol Hill and someone who is willing to make it a REAL issue.

I filed on March 26th in TSC (paper filing). Got receipt dated April 7th. Still waiting. I cannot continue the job as my H1B expired. Anybody knows what should I do to get it expedited. I guess people at USCIS are very unpredictable and work according to the mood. I did not anticipate this as earlier I filed EAD for my wife and son and I got it in three weeks.
