This is the precise reason I am staying away from IV, people just dont show any civility in the forum discussions and starts name calling or shot down the people who ask questions.
If IV comes up with just one single GOAL of reducing the curent EB backlog for the restorgressed categories, people even from RoW countries will start participating in IV campaign and support IV's advocacy efforts in terms of their donations and volunteering for IV.
Reducing the current EB backlog will help everyone.
If every member decided to be respectful of each other (even when some one is not), then civility would not be a problem.
However, that is not the case. Members sometimes take things personally and expect IV to micromanage the forums. In the current situation this is not possible.
1. IV is asking money for advocacy efforts and we are unable to raise the money we set out. The money goes directly to the advocacy.
2. IV can do the micro managing, then we need to raise more money - to pay for the people - which means members have to pay more money regularly to pay consistently for the people working and for the year round advocacy.
3. IV is doing the good work (if I may say so). I wrote earlier, that if any member had a question on IV and its workings, all they have to do is call up - you will find out about what we do directly from us. But I am yet to hear a phone ring on that reason. You can make up your mind on to support us or not.
4. Holding every member's word as that of IV is unfair and unrealistic. Please refrain from it.
Again, if we decide to be civil to each other, we solve this problem. That is an individual choice - that each one you (and us) have to take.
Debate about a problem and try to find a solution. But asking people to convince anyone of anything on open forums is not realistic. If members are so inclined to believe in a cause, they will find ways to learn about it and work on it.
Volunteers of this organization are just like you. With jobs, families, financial constraints.......
You - every member and not directed at any one particular member.
IV needs more dedicated volunteers or more consistent donor members to get what members are asking for. Each member, please decide what you would like to do - help IV regularly and be civil or pay money so that IV can get the work done. The choice is yours.
We work with what we have.

Dont worry. If your LC still in BEC with old PD you are more luckier than the guys going to file 485 now. DOL commited to clear backlong by Sep 2007. Oct VB will come up with priority dates in stone age. If your PD is very old you will get GC with in 6 months. Filing 485 in July and Aug with very new PD will not bring them any fruit. They have to wait more years. 750K 485 and 750K EAD and 750K AP will result in choking the CIS system. They will feel the challange of renewal on time.
I am very conficent that USCIS is not going to process all 750K at a time. They will definitly modify the processing method, fom current practice. First, they can not schudle FP for all 750K applicants in available ASC centers. So, they will sort the 485 based on PD, and process tham based on PD and country and catagory wise. A guy with PD 2007, will not get FP notice very near to his PD become current.
so, you will be in better shape.
Well said....The reality of situation is the only benefit for people who are filing now is the ability to change jobs after 6 months. As far as GC is concerned, it wont become reality for at least 5 or more years for people with 06-07 priority date

I oppose this idea. Let us all focus on Greencards. People who got GC should be helping us who do not have GCs.
GCperm used to write so much about Greencard campaigns but as soon as he got his GC he is on this thread talking about citizenship. This shows selfish mentality of some people. All greencard holders should work on helping people get GC behind them. People should not be allowed to abandon us and work on something else. We are not even getting Greencards and you guys want to work on Citizenship.
First help us all get Greencards.
eastindia, you are correct. GCPerm sometime back was on a "flower campaign" mode and was asking all IV members to send flowers so that USCIS will approve his/her green card ASAP. now that, it has been approved, the user has switched to a citizenship campaign mode.
GCPerm, a piece of advice. When a person volunteers for a cause to help others, the person should never think of how the result benefits them. If you look at IV members who are advocating for clearing this green card backlogs, by volunteering for the cause, they are not looking at how it benefits them, but how they can pave a way for future applicants.
When it comes to citizenship it is more difficult as I have personally seen people who are willing to continue with green cards for more than 20 years than taking up US Citizenship because they are more emotionally connected to their birth countries.
Anyway, note if you are sure of the fact that you want this campaign to continue even after six years of you starting it(by then you can become a US Citizen), then you should be promoting this.
Example, Aman Kapoor who started IV, got his green card and still fighting to clear the green card backlog mess.
Hope you understand the point. Nobody wants a leader who won't be able to continue once their ulterior motives are attained.

I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.
As I said before, IV should step up for EB3-I/C/ROW cause since policies seem to be working in favor of other EBs (which is good) but EB3 is stuck..
Here are some paths to consider.
1. IV has established relationships with some key politicians through the advocacy days, may be that channel can work
or
2. Allow interfiling with spouse
or
3. Allow folks to file I-485 for an approved I-140 even if the dates are not current
or
4. Have an endless EAD and AP (by endless I mean 5 years)
or
5. Recapture (Tie it to a bill...eg Zoe Lofgren or Feigngold will not sign Finance reform bill unless lost EB visas are recaptured). It will help EB2 folks as well. Give Feingold a call, he is voting no on Finance reform. May be he can kick in something for legal EB folks (similar to cornhusker) and may vote Yes and be the 60th vote.
What I suggest you guys to do is build upon these ideas above rather than destroy it or be sarcastic about it.

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.
Please close this thread.
You also made sarcastic comment in this thread about me. See if you guys do not like this idea better keep away from this thread instead of making sarcastic comments and harsh words.

Does anyone know that if it's an India-issued passport and if it's about to expire, will I get the new passport the same day if I submit the application for renewal in person to the CGI/ Indian Embassy at Houston/ NY?
At NY you may get same day service using Tatkal option ($90 extra) . You can tell them you need same day service. They will examine your passport and let you know if they can renew it the same day or not. You can then pay the $90 tatkal fee and collect the passport the same evening.

I plan on flying to BWI Airport and reaching there Saturday by 1:00p; Is that a good option?
If I want to have full participation - what would be a good schedule for my return flight? Will I be able to catch a 6:15p flight on April 5th?
Locals - please respond.
For a full participation, I would recommend a red-eye on Tuesday or at least a flight after 9pm est.

They retracted number of times in the past.
Good intentions, but have to re-check what they post before posting.
Cannot believe a Law firm would do such mistakes....but it's a fact.
But I really pray, they are right this time (Though our in-depth analysis says otherwise)
i also doubt this. Has this website posted wrong information before?

Looking at the Approval trend, it looks like TSC and NSC are not following the FIFO (Based on PD, ND etc) when approval. More than half of the approvals are after my PD.
Any one has any idea of approximately many EB2-I cases were approved last year in Sept 2008. Because of the out of turn approvals random date approvals I may be loosing chance once again this time.
I had RFE's for my wife's and my I485 way back in March 09 and after we replied to the RFE's and there multiple LUD's and Soft LUD's till 04/14/2009. On 04/04/2009 last Soft LUD was on my Wife's , Daughter (she never got any RFE) and my case and since then no updates. I was assuming that my case is PreAdjudicated and had high hopes.
Once again seeing an inefficient and irresponsible USCIS being unfair...
--------------------------
PD : 07/08/2004
ND : 08/09/2007
I485 Receipt date : 07/02/2007
Current status : H1B ( working for employer who sponsored GC)
I140 approved : 11/2006
I completely agree with you, somehow no approvals for folks with PD in Jul, 04 yet, have not seen any yet. May be all files with Jul, 04 PD are assigned to an IO who is on Long Term Disability (LTD) though entire USCIS is unofficially on LTD :)
I am Jul 04 PD and nothing yet and have very little hope. I called TSC and the guy told my case in preadjudicated then today i called and got routed to NSC and second level IO told case needs additional review, i think they have these standard responses written on Tarot cards.
Good luck to you.

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.
Please call Rep.Ciro Rodriguez as well.

- u can do ur taxes urself, no need for a tax consultant.. just use hrblock/ turbotax. make note of ur trades in a spreadsheet.
- day trading is fantastic.. ur immigration stress will take a backseat to the excitement (& shock!) you feel while doing it.
- now is not a good time to enter the market... will it go up? .. i don't know.. will it go down? .. i don't know. But the warning comes from volatility... it will shake you out.

May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.
May be once anyone's queries get answered about any topic, a friendly reminder like "If you are satisfied with the response, please contribute to IV to help our cause". I hope the members don't make us stoop to this level.
