How much clout does this congresswoman have? She seems to understand the entire scenario better than any american soul out there! It also seems like she has spent a lot of time on this and understands the system very well.
I guess it remains to be seen what kind of impact her letter will have on USCIS. Obviously, USCIS did something unlawful.

Someone mentioned that all vaccines except for Hepatitis B can be completed in 2 days...Hepatitis B takes 6 months. My PD has become current and I haven't had my medical examination yet. I have to take Hepatitis B since don't have immunization records from India.
Does this mean that I can't apply for my I-485 for the next 6 months until I am done with all my Hepatitis B shots?
Thanks,
Jayant
I am not sure if you need Hepatitis B though. I didn't have Hepatitis B either. The physician did blood work and certified that I satisfied all immunization requirements.

(Washington, D.C.) - Congressman Ciro D. Rodriguez has released the following statement in response to today's action by the U.S. Senate to effectively kill immigration reform:
"This Congress has to act to secure our borders and address the illegal immigration crisis. Unfortunately, instead of moving forward legislation as a starting point for much needed immigration reform, Senate Republicans for all intents and purposes killed immigration reform today.
"They had the chance to help lay the foundation for Congress to reform our nation's immigration system, a system we all agree is broken, and instead they settled for an irresponsible do-nothing approach.
"There are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. today, our border is not secure, and our nation's agricultural industry and small business community needs help dealing with a labor shortage, but those issues are just not that important to those Republican Senators more interested in using the issue as a political wedge that doing something to fix the problem.
"I believe the time for immigration reform is now but the Republicans have once again failed to be part of the solution to this national problem."

r2i ing end of Feb 2011. But, will contribute financially though.
Any reasons for R2i?
Is it your EB3 wait?
With a Jan 03 PD it is sad to see someone giving up after a 7 year wait and coming so close to getting current.

I am not really not sure if this is true. Logiclife and other core team members have already mentioned that nothing happened so you might see a correction on immigration-law.com tomorrow, like we have seen before. We all wish it was true, however. :(
i also doubt this. Has this website posted wrong information before?

Tell me them that even though you are not from the same constituent, the Congressmen will be voting on these bills once tabled in the Congress and you are requesting to support the bill
Thanks for your reply. I called all the other offices but glad to say did not encounter that again. One rep. did ask me where I was from and said that Congressmen will only reply if you are from his constituency but will certainly pass on my message.
Left a message for Congressmen Henry Cuellar, as the immigration staffer was not on his desk.

I agree. My experience thus far: I emailed 200 reporters and received no response. I am going to try the letters idea, because I too think what Amitjoey says is right-- letters make an impact.
Write a letter, run a grammar/spell check, then print, SIGN, and send it to senators who support us. I wrote the following. But please personalize, because that would send the message that this is an issue of importance to you-- the writer.

Subject: Thousands of properly filed EB Green Card applications likely to be rejected/ returned
References/ Enclosures:
� Interim Visa Bulletin by U S Department of State
� USCIS announcement to stop accepting Adjustment Of Status applications
Dear ____:
I have been living in ___, USA for the last ___ months/ years. By profession, I am a ____, and I work for ___, a company based in ___.
I am writing to bring to your attention the unprecedented decision made by US Department of State (DOS) on July 2, 2007 with its interim �visa bulletin�. With this bulletin, DOS determined that all the immigrant visa numbers allocated for the current financial year had been expended, and thus there would be no further authorizations of new Green Cards this year. In response, USCIS announced that it would return all Adjustment of Status applications it received, beginning July 2, 2007. Please note that the USCIS had already RECEIVED applications on the morning of July 2, 2007, even before DOS published this interim visa bulletin.
In my opinion it is an unfortunate decision in that it virtually renders null and void, thousands of properly filed Employment Based Green Card- Adjustment of Status applications.
An important thing to note here, is that in the Visa Bulletin published by DOS only 18 days ago (June 13, 2007) all Employment Based categories had been made �current� since almost 60000 immigrant visa numbers had been unused till that time.
This begs the question: how did USCIS manage to approve about 60000 green cards in less than 3 weeks, when it took the previous 8 months to approve the same number of green cards?
The Visa Bulletin published by DOS in June 2007, had brought good news to thousands of high-skilled temporary workers (doctors, engineers, IT professionals) in the USA, because the floodgates that had been closed for over 2 years had been re-opened.
This bulletin had implied that we could finally apply for "Adjustment of Status"- the final stage of the 3 step Employment based Green card process. This would solve a number of quality of life issues for people like me, as they would allow our spouses to take up part or full time jobs, they would bring in an element of stability allowing me to plan the purchase of a new home, and it would give me the freedom of relocating to another part of the USA for any unforeseen reason, without worrying about the portability of my existing job.
Therefore, my family and I worked really hard, and tried to religiously comply with all procedures laid out and submitted our application to reach the USCIS on the morning of July 2, 2007.
Besides running around to gather the paperwork to help file in time, I had to spend a significant amount of money on:
1) Urgent medical examinations and vaccinations by USCIS approved surgeon: $700. (Note: These were not covered by my medical insurance.)
2) New passport photographs; these needed to be less than a month old... so these had to be newly taken photographs
3) Notarization/ Courier charges: Approximately $100 (Some amount expended in foreign currency)
All of the money spent, as well as the time and efforts were rendered useless by the new bulletin on July 2, 2007, which I repeat, was published AFTER the window opened for new applications on the morning of July 2, 2007.
My point is, and I believe anyone with common sense would agree, it is only fair to expect a notice period before a reversal such as this one. Preferably... weeks of notice if not days! I am sure no US Citizen would accept anything less for a notice in such an important matter!
I would implore you to look into this matter as soon as you can, and request the USCIS to accept Adjustment of Status applications filed through July 2007.
Thank you.
Truly,

My many friends from EB3 -Jan to Jun 2003 PD are still in process. I have met 2 EB2-May 2003PD guys already having GC. Very small sample but thought to mention it.
BharatPremi Please tell me I am wrong! i collected some data... and just by looking at it... it seems like EB3 will move very very slowly not as per your prediction! I m not a stats guru perhaps you or anyone who is a stats guru can shed some light here!
What is your EB3-India PD (I-485 either pending, or not yet filed)
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6203
Total Applicants (that voted) = 206
_______________
% distribution
_______________
43.21% 2001/2002/2003
25.25% 2004
16.51% 2005
13.59% 2006
1.46% 2007
_______________
Total Visa available / country = 140000/7% = 9800 in a year
Keep aside 10% for other categories, so 90% available for EB2 and EB3
9800 - 980 = 8820 total available for India EB2/EB3
50-50 between eb2 eb3 (assumption - probably a bad assumption)
4410/year available for EB3?
(This is where it really gets tricky!)
ASSUMPTION -
Approximate Indian EB3 Applications
Total Indian applicants / 2 (50-50 between eb2 and eb3)
Total 200k (low estimate) so EB3 100k approx
+ 100k Dependants = 200k Total EB3
Year 2001/2002/2003 = 43.21% = 46286
Number of years to clear off Backlog (2003 and prior) = 46286/4410 = 10 1/2 years
Up until 1/5/2007 PD was stable at around 5/8/2001
I think EB3 movement will be very slow based on above calculations
EDIT: Even if Unused Visas get funneled down to EB3 India > cut the time in 1/2 still looks like 4-5 years to clear EB3 < 2003
Does this sound right?

I was wondering if any one in the core or other members think about the next step towards getting citizenship after passing the hurdles of getting the green card. If a person is here for 10 years and then get his green card (average period), then he need to wait for another 5 years to get the citizenship. 15 years for this process in a person's life is too much.
IV Core can push or lobby for a law which can make the person a US citizen, if he is living in US for 10 years legally without any issues and paying taxes for the entire period. It is just my idea.
A similar concern was raised during the CIS Ombudsman teleconference held on August 16, 2007. But nothing conclusive came out of it. Refer http://www.murthy.com/news/n_ombsci.html
"Other questions included the concern that time spent waiting for the adjudication of one's green card application is not being counted against the standard five-year physical presence requirement to qualify for U.S. citizenship."

"Other questions included the concern that time spent waiting for the adjudication of one's green card application is not being counted against the standard five-year physical presence requirement to qualify for U.S. citizenship."

We now have 10,716 members.
Let us set a target of 15,000 by the end of May. I think it is doable since we now have more members to take part in it. Could some members help run this campaign and thread?
Also post your innovative ideas you have used to get members.
