I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?
Thanks for your efforts.
My suggestion is: those who have maxed out their 6 yrs on H-1B + have atleast crossed the labor and I-140 stage; should be automatically granted the green card.
These are the people who are really stuck, because if their green card does not get approved, they have no option but to return. Also, if they lose their job they are out of options as they cannot seek another H1B extension or transfer.
Typically, these people would have young children who were born here, and go to school here. These children sing the US national anthem and pledge allegience to the flag everyday at their school. Making these people wait and wait for their green cards helps no one. They are not taking anyones jobs, they are educated, civilized people. They have proved their usefulness to their companies and the society over the past 7~8 years.

sorry, I meant average active users is around 656 daily. I think the total number is 27,096 members (from IV home page)
This forum only has 656 members? I thought we had more than that.

I have received approval on April 04 and today I have received GCs for all my family but not for one of my daughters. I checked USCIS and I just realized her application is still pending. She just turned 14 on March and she only did FP 2. Do you think she has to do again FP or they just left her behind......
Same story here. They will send RFE for biometrics for her. Expect it within a month, if you do not get it in a month, take Infopass/call and ask for biometrics appointment. My daughter's I-485 was approved next day after FP.

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.

This is really Crazy....
People are waiting form 2001 for GC and these guys have open flood gates.. and I have been seeing approvals for 2003 / 2004 cases.. and no wonder they will approve next month cases also..
Where is the Justice?
Not sure.. how this kind of advanced country can do things like this very happazzard with out proper process and procedures.
Not sure what they are up to..
Probally they will get more papers on illegals now..
only thing they have to outsource this process to India / China.. to move things fast.
Dont know if we need to laugh or cry at these people procedure and process..
Hope things will go as First In First Out which is ethical and justification way to move things.
Hope some one from high level of USCIS looks at my message and take necessary actions and set right there process and procedures..
no other words to explain this Irony of Life..

Just happen to see some RoW EB3 cases at Nebraska center get approved.
One is RD 06/12/2007, which is a little bit more than 06/08/2007 on the Nebraska's RD processing annouced for 3/15/2007.
The other with RD 06/15/2007
P.S: The more I look at , I see there's even one case with RD for 07/13/2007
So it's possible Nebraska will move processing date forward to at least 07/15/2007 at the next processing date annoucement.

You have consistently abused me and other members on this thread who tried to talk sense and call us really nasty names. i will not stoop to your standards of language.
You have proven by your lack of knowledge and filthy language that you do not have the common sense to have a meaningful conversation.
Hope you get the therapy you need really soon...otherwise I feel worried for the people around you who are exposed to your violent and abusive behavior.
Mr foreever_waiting
It seems you have some issues where you do not want to listen to the other persons arguments and you conteract is in the following ways
1. Browbeat the person by abusing him and accusing him of being a smooch, not a donor and not a volunteer. I have seen how you and other EB2 like you have been doing this on IV with other people. Remember i have been here from 2006 (And if you want to use this in your reply for gods sake !! please be innovative about it)
2. When you fail to incite the other person by using the above strong arm tactics you try a new tack by taking the holier than thou attitide
3. When that also fails this is what you stoop to as shown below

Mr foreever_waiting the only adjective i have used against you is the word Bigot (Which by definition means a person who has closed his eyes ears and brains to the others persons point of you and believes that only he is speaking right)
Of course i also called you an idiot for which i apolozise. I really do have to stop my impression of you from clouding this discussion
Now coming to your rant
and you cont You have consistently abused me and other members on this thread who tried to talk sense ah e trutnd call us really nasty names.
So if i agree that whatever you and other EB2 are saying is true then i am a great guy otherwise i am a abuser. Wow you really have a police state running here.
i will not stoop to your standards of language.
If you could stoop to my level we would not be having this discussion about abuse. Do not even try to think that My standards of language is anywhere below you. It is way above you and it
is i who is stooping to your level where i am replying back to every rubbish logic and comment of yours, but since i respect your right to disagree with me i am replying back (And yes a 1000 words essay because it seems like you can only understand when things get repeated to you again and again)
You have proven by your lack of knowledege and filthy language that you do not have the common sense to have a meaningful conversation.
Here again is the filty language keyword. It is really getting old by now. the only time the keyword Filthy is ever used is when you are using it in your replies to me. Lack of Knowledge now what in the gods name makes you think you have all the knowledge and the rest are clueless
Hope you get the therapy you need really soon...otherwise I feel worried for the people around you who are exposed to your violent and abusive behavior.
Now it is clear who is the abuser. Within one sentance you have called me
- A person in need of therapy
- Some one who is voilent with people around
- Person with abusive behaviour
Well from what i seen of your message i see that there is nothing wrong with you emotionally. (Please note that unlike you i am NOT calling you and emotional unstable abusive voilent person)
It is just that you cannot have a logical argument and when you run out of the oft repeated 2-3 catch phrases or when they are countered by logical counter points you tend to become how you are now
Finally an advise - Grow up Kid and come back to this discussion when you can have one as an adult and when you have meanigfull counter arguments

Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

Yes, that is what the trend look like. There is probably another 5-10% fall in the works. Perhaps even more. I agree with you on that.
However, the million dollar question is how do you know the prices have actually bottomed one? Won't you go ahead and buy if its affordable, instead of wasting precious years which shorten the career span and deferring your decision? Its almost like deciding when to have your first child...well..almost. There is never really a good time, is there?
By affordable, I mean its around 'x' times your (dual) income, you have your green card and you are prepared to live in the US for next 5 years at least (even if there is any family emergency, you don't have any compulsion to sell off your assets and move to India for good). Now, 'x' may mean different for different people but generally people seem to agree x = 3. And I also agree with you that it might happen that american housing is always affordable. Yes, it might but for most middle class in SFO Bay area, when x was 7-10, it wasn't affordable at all!
I completely oppose folks like Slumdog doing something terribly rash (no gc, no prospect of gc within a year, single income with a baby, baby having some health issues and to top it all the burden of a heavy mortgage on the shoulders, god, I think his situation is simply awful...) but the way I read it is that these indeterminate immigration waits are making people throw caution to the winds.
And I don't agree with folks who feel that buying your house is like renting it out simply because it is mortgaged. There is big difference, eventually its get all paid off and you start actually owning it. Secondly, for a lot of people that they can sell it during their retirement and use the sale proceeds to cover the retirement life. There is very good chance real estate would have appreciated over long term. Of course, you are just interested in 'flipping' you are asking for big trouble.
I bought my house in 2004 and here we are in 2009 - stayed 5 years . house went up to $430 ( from $330K) and then down to $300. Lost 10% so far . I made sure that mortgage+living expenses is within 1 salary (have dual income) . if I stay another 3-4 years i will break even at any price. Yes if i would have bought house in 2006 (peak) and got a job problem in 2008 yes- i would be in terrible situation.
Let's say if i would not bought the house - i would have used 10% down payment ( $33K) in some kind of investment (Stocks, bonds or CDs'). Based upon today's stock market i would have lost 30% on that until i would have withdrawn in 2008 Jan where market was at peak.
There is never really a good time, is there? . Now housing is almost bottom and interest rate is so low now - but job market is terrible and you need to be careful about your job. Now let's say job market get's better in 2010 and you plan buy a house in 2011. you think you will have everything in order in 2011 . Make no mistake, you will another set of worry and things to take care.
You need to take best decision based upon ur situation and need to minimize risk. You can only minimize the risk and not eliminate. A certain degree of risk is there in every step of life.

There has been about 40% cases that are getting audited in Atlanta center. But after replying to queries, the center is not responding on a timely basis. There is light at the end of the tunnel.:)
