Look at pg 10
Even the most conservative estimate will show 25k EB2 applications between October 1st 2005 - September 1st 2006. You still have Eb3 to eb2 conversions, labor subs etc. So 1 lakh 485 including dependents is good for 2004 and 2005. With per country quota of 3800 + row scraps I still think a person with PD 2006 Eb2 will wait a decade to get his green card or end up at Silicon valley of India, Bangalore.
thats all still a far cry from your earlier statement about 50K EB2-India labors each in 2004 and 2005, from your earlier post:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=260887&postcount=5
not saying the backlog is not bad, just that we need to be careful with the numbers we throw around. All are guesstimates, but they atleast need to be backed up with some stats or a link (the way you have now done, to come up with these new numbers)

All you need to do is login to paypal, click on send money and type in donations@immigrationvoice.org corresponding to the sender. Please let me know if you have any issues. Thanks for comming forward to contribute
Sorry for the delay and thanks!
Considering the amount of money most folks have saved because of IV's flower campaign and the SJ rally, there is no reason to feel shy in contributing to IV;-)
Considering the amount of money you will spend renewing EADs and visiting your local DMV to renew your driving licenses, it is compelling for anyone to help IV now so that you see your GC sooner than later!

Mr.Thunderbolt,
Congratulations!! You did a very good job and becoming an example.
Please educate every one you meet in your community, friends circle and help others who do not know the laws and risking their kids life.
The thread has been filled up with mixed responses of some threatening, supporting, uncontrollable anger and attacking, don't bother much, as it is a way for ourselves get educated, because most of us here have kids same age as yours.
Great work!!!

Yes; he was out of status from March 2003. However; he had a valid I-94 card until February 2004. He didn't have a valid I-94 from February 2004 until april 2004.
once;he left and re-entered then the out of status time was finished. Since he didn't overstay his I-94 card by more then 180 days then he is not subject to the 3 year bar.
If his I-94 card expired in March 2003 then he would have had unlawful presence from that date forward and since it was more then one year then he would have been subject to 10 year bar.
UnitedNations,
I know I should be asking my lawyer this but what if i94 has been expired from past 3 monthsi.e., from april 2007 , the person has applied for seventh year extension of h1b visa in feb 2007 but it has not come through yet, and they have already done concurrent filing of 140 and 485 in July.
In this situation what does the person (with h4 dependent in the same situation) do ?
Is this a solution:
Make h1 premium now and get the 797 approval, wait for 485 receipt and then go to Canada for getting h1 visa stamping and new I94 card ?
Please advise. Appreciate any suggestions you can give with your limited time :)
Is there a better solution ?

As I had mentioned earlier, do not be under the misconception that just because you are working in a stable cash-rich comany and happy with your job, it can't get bad. Your company can move, downsize, close a branch or just fire you....given the current scenario, it will take atleast 5/6 years (if you are lucky and maybe more if you are unfortunate) to get a GC and all these years can go waste by any of the above happening
Here's a story sent to us....thanks for sending it in
My GC process was started in 2001, my labor was approved in 2003 but since my company was closing the branch office where I worked, I had to move to the main office which was in a different state. Due to this my approved labor went down the drain. I moved to the state of the head office, meanwhile my company off-shored a major portion of the development office where I was working early 2005. After much persuasion from me the filed again but I had to either move offshore or take up a 90% travel job with the same company. Now, I travel and am away from my family during the weekdays. I have lived in USA for 6 years - legally paying my taxes, following all the laws and contributing to the society to the best of my abilities. I am currently on H1-B visa extension.
My wife is working for a company on H1-B. Her employer promised in mid-2005 that she would start the GC process for her so that we could have a backup. Till now her GC has not been started. My wife is in a dilemma of whether she should quit her job and join somewhere else. But if she does move to a new company, even they will not start her GC process immediately. Even if they do what is the point because of retrogression?
With the retrogression my GC could take years....sometimes I wonder if the stress, living in constant fear not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow, staying far away from loved ones, all these sacrifices is really worth it when legal workers like me who have contributed to the economy of America seem to have no value in this country.
Ragz4u if the above person process his labor application prior to april 2001 he should be qualified for 245(i).

Hi Guys.. need someone to answer my question, if possible. Thanks in advance.
My PD is Sep 2004 ( EB2 India ) and I was also July 2007 filer, and also the victim of my 485 being closed by USCIS nebraska in May 2008, which anyways got reopened within a month after supplying necessary documentation ( Approved I140 and moved to new company etc ) . I work on an EAD now. My question is
1) My AP is expiring in mid October. Should I file for a AP renewal and spend extra money ? Do I have a chance of getting GC in September ? Btw I was told last year at USCIS newark, NJ office that all the background checks and other things show clear on my case.
2) I moved my apartment 2 blocks away early this year, but my city and zip code are the same. If I file an AR11 ( change of address ) , will it raise any flags, since I have read on this forum that a change of address sometimes prompts an RFE. I am a bit scared of going through ups and downs, so I just feel like not doing anything which might create any kind of issue after so many years of pain.
Please give your insight. Thanks so much in advance !
Jim77, it is highly advisable to apply for your EAD (if it is expiring soon), not neccessarily your AP if you do not intend to travel. You also will need to file your AR11, reason being any government communication is not forwared to the new address. If you were to be approved for the GC next month, it will not reach you as the post office will send it back to USCIS as undeliverable. Filing an AR11 will not trigger any RFE. Maybe if you changed cities, then it might coz there might be a concern on what status you were working on, like if you had an AC21 etc. but within the same zipcode, I dont think so.

On my 485 receipt, I have RD as 7/20/07, ND as 9/13/07. But when I check my case online, it has 9/12/07.
I had called TSC yesterday and the rep kept telling 9/12/07 and TSC is processing 8/30/07. I told her I have the original receipt in front of me and it says 7/20/07 and not sure where you are getting 9/12 from. She said "Oh I am sorry, I was looking at the incorrect place". She later gave me a SR # and took all the info. The funny part was she even refused to open a SR telling the date was 9/12.
Not sure whether opening a SR now will help but trying does not hurt and it is FREE !!!! Hopefully the officer looks at my file and then approves it.

I will give you a couple of reasons, why I am not supporting this idea, at the same time I won't discourage you from doing it:
Last year when CIR was being discussed in Senate, anti-immigrants sent thousands of bricks to Senator's offices. Bricks build walls, their message was clear, focus on border security first. This was a -ve campaign. It was popular in the right wing media but since CIR passed in Senate. I am presuming this campaign didn't work. The reason it failed was because the idea was to grab headlines but no thought on what after that. No strategy. Lets correlate this with flowers. An officer at USCIS will get these or maybe a dozen people. They will feel good. End of story. They don't have the ability to change the USCIS policy or the July bulletin, which is IV's aim. So basically sending flower is a gushy gesture and may sound fancy but USCIS doesn't work on emotion. If it did, why would they loose thousands of visas each year even though there is rampant backlog and retrogression?
Some members say well, flowers will attract media attention and hence help our cause. Well, unless Paris Hilton is sending those flowers you won't get much media's attention. Indirect, subtle and passive communication doesn't work in America. That is a cultural issue that these members need to come to grips with fast.
Our goal is to make USCIS accept July applications for AOS for GC. Since USCIS won't do that whats the best way to do it, well to exert external pressure. How is that done. Contact Media, Senators, Congress members and the Judicial system.
Too much babbling on my part, now, I am going to write a journalist requesting more media coverage on our issue.
Best of luck
We are not sending pen, paper and cal to caluclate the accurate VB. And one more thing we are not fighting for it, just we are telling how badly we effected with the "flip flop" game of USCIS.
Pls see the first page for plan of action..we are gonna send the e-mails to reporters...i guess this is gonna big hit.
When you are writing to journalist mention about the JULY 10TH FLOWER DAY!! I am sure she/he will ask couple of questions abt it.
just my 2 cents..
Thanks,
Chandra.

Its a pity that we are engaging in such talk & encouraging him. We should not entertain this guy here. Just ignore him & let his thread not come up. And as for results, we will see our strength on Sept 18th.
We all know our strengths & talents & skills. We don't need to give any clarifications to him.
Let channelize our energy in a positive way & get more people to attend the rally.
Its an earnest request to fellow IV members, PLEASE IGNORE THIS GUY!!! And if the moderators wish to, lets delete this thread!!!

Even during the recess, we were talking to the staff of a ton of senators. Most of the time the senators' staff are interested only if someone from 'their constituency' is also affected. We always say we have a ton of folks from each state, but nothing works like a real example.
For example, when we speak to say Senator Kennedy, it helps us to present the story of folks affected by retrogression and living in say Boston, MA. That way, the staff has some incentive to look into this and get hooked immediately.
Since time is short this time, we need all the stories from each state to make our case.
As promised, we will not reveal your story to media if you do not want to.
Though there is no harm to reveal one's name in media as can be noticed by the folks featured in the Roll Call article, Philly Inquirer and News Observer.
We will just concentrate on the crux how you are suffering because of delays such that even if your boss reads this story, he will not be offended or put off (Read our members stories in the three articles I have mentioned, none of it can get the IV members in any trouble at all).
At the same time we understand that you might have reasons to remain out of media and we will fully respect that.
But please send in your stories so we have a convincing story to make our case.....
Your first post seemed asking only career wise successful folks who have patents/inovations and are affected by retrogression. I did write my story and then reread your first post, then thought to myself: my story is just similar to that Italian lady! The only thing different is she probably would have gotten her green card without much trouble, unlike my process.
Please let me know if you need ordinary story like mine, non-IT, mother and having been waiting for many years. Thanks.

I completed my MS in Computer Science from US around 6 years back, was on OPT for a year & thereafter moved out of US & came back to my home town. Have been working here for 6 years now in the software field & have now applied for H1B under masters Quota. Was wondering if I am eligible to apply under this quota as I am neither a fresh masters graduate nor have any status in the US. Also, my lawyer has only filled out the I-129 form. Is there any special form that needs to be filled out to be considered for Master's quota?

Precisely my words life is unpredictable so what makes the EB2 guys so confident to say that once EB2 becomes current EB3 I will get spillover
Fact is .....
- EB2 will never become current
- Spillover will got to EBROW not EB3
So all these logic will go out of the window because life is unpredictable

I see that the above discussion keeps on going on about EB-2 only. Doesn't anyone at IV care about EB-3 I also . I am sure there are a few EB-3 I people at IV who are suffering from retrogression , myself included.

I am in for the flowers thing. However I have a suggestion, sending flowers just to Director U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will not help much, we need to draw the attention on congress on this to increase the green card quota and get rid of country quota. Any suggestion how we can draw attention of congress by sending flowers on JULY 10th?
