I tried calling and setting up appointment with our local senator and congressman hack even their associates. I was told that they have too much on their schedule to meet with me. I guess:
No vote = No Value...
ok now we have 300!
Precisely, members underestimate the importance of meeting lawmakers in a large scale. When we meet members of Senate and congress all over the country, not only can we get a new Bill, but our provisions could also get attached to any other Bills once they morally support us. But it will not happen if you just send chain mail, its all about building human relations with the law maker staff and make them aware of our problems. That is why family based visas and illegals, kids (DREAM) get ahead as they have the human factor apparent.
With law makers its all about human values, empathy, compassion, etc. - like family, kids. You can forget everything about rocket science, recursion, curve fitting - it doesn't mean anything to them in terms of getting their support. It is difficult for a technical person to understand this and their point of view. It would help to get your extended family involved if you have one.
Even today skill based immigration is not even at the forefront of population growth, as their idea about general population is a bit different and has nothing to do with IQ. that is why extra effort is needed from us.
There has to be a continuous relation maintained with the immigration rep of the law maker.

Based on past experience i feel that people will cling to a false hope and make assumptions about getting their GC's. My primary concern is people will stop making efforts to push for recapture or any other relief. The spillover rules are such that EB3-I will not get any additional visas till 2012 (at the earliest). Who knows what the stituation will be then.
We should also be debating why the PD for Mexico EB3 is higher than India when they have more people in the queue before their PD. I would take the numbers with a grain of salt or at the least not forget the past... as someone said if we dont learn from our history, history will repeat itself.
Dear Chris_Rock, GC_Check, trueguy, 485Mbe4001 and others
Happy to see you debating healthy discussions. No flames. This is a mature discussion unlike recent past.
Yes, ONLY we EB3's need to be serious.
I agree that CIR is impossible till March 2011. If one sees Americaworker.org ads in TV, I do not think law makers will listen to us. EB2 is placed in queue nicely.
Let us debate decently and do not respond to people that start flames.
Thanks to all of you.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "red-eye" ?
There is a flight leaving BWI airport by 9:15p - I guess that may be a good option?
What are the options to travel from BWI Airport to IV gathering point?
9:15pm is a good option. red-eye means late night flight. There are a number of options from BWI to downtown DC. A bus and light rail train will get you there in an hour.

Yes and until we know what we are lobbying for, why would we part with money? Here is the about IV page - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16034 - and it talks about two or three things that IV has done in the past. What is giving money to IV going to do for us in the future? Like they say for stocks. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Which bills does IV support? What kind of legislation are they lobbying for? I support the cause of IV because I'm facing all the problems that IV is trying to solve.
Microsoft spent millions to get H1B increase. It did not happen till now. So should they stop investing in lobbying?
Last year there ere 3 bills for us brought by IV lobbying-- Recapture, Country Limits and Exemption of people with Masters in Science.
Just because the bill failed and you or Zen did not get your greencard does not mean IV did not do anything meaningful campaign? You are with IV since 2007, did you do anything for these bill action items last year? How much did you contribute? Did you work on the IV campagn to add cosponsors and get the bill for vote? If I knew, I would have done it.
I came new to IV but I spent time going into old forum threads by searching and came to know about it.
I will blame you for not getting me my green card till now. You are here since 2007 and did not do anything to help me and others get my green card.

We need active participation from members for the action item listed on this thread. CHC member are taking a very hard stand on the 3 bills introduced by Lofgren. If members (esp. constituents) don't call in large numbers and urge the CHC members to support the bills. The 3 bills may not even see the house floor. CHC members want only one immigration bill (CIR), nothing else is accepted.
Please ask u'r friends and colleagues (who are constituents of CHC lawmakers) to participate in this crucial action item.
Folks
Please call CHC members. They will kill our bills.

I can't tell you how p***d I was when I read someone suggesting ppl to "enjoy the moment". For someone who has been waiting 3-4 years for labor to clear and sees ppl getting in front of the line to get the EAD/AP, its just insane. And to tell that person to be not a "spoilsport" is just rubbing salt in their wounds!
To my friends who are still stuck in PBEC, please have faith. You will hopefully be able to file 485 even after Sept when the dates retrogress again. My gut feeling is that dates will retrogress back to 2004 again. 2005 is when PERM started and that's where the bulk of applicants will come from right now. PERM filers will get the advantage of AC21 that you didn't have for all these years but plight of ppl stuck in BEC's has never been on anyone's agenda. So not much you can do.
Totally agree! I was appalled by some peoples suggestion to those still stuck in BEC to "enjoy the moment" on behalf of others and "not to be a spoilsport". It is really very unfair, but you know what, like arihant says, it'll be like, "See you at IV in September" (when the October VB comes out) to continue.
Only difference is, you'd have "filed" 485 and if lucky you'd have gotten a receipt, because you might as well kiss your AP & EAD goodbye because there is no way they can process this ton load of apps any time soon.
I hope USCIS finally sees the injustice that has be meted out to the all the folks - whether in BEC or not - and process the application in a FIFO basis.

In addition to or instead of?? Ithink the current clause should be replaced with the one you suggested.
Just a suggestion:
It may be more appealing to tie it with "five years of filing taxes as a "resident alien" including contribution to medicare ans SS taxes".
In other words, any permanent legal resient (GC holder) who has filed taxes as a "resident alien" for five years while working in US and contributed to medicare and SS taxes should be eligible for citizenship filing.
This should be added in addition to the current criteria of "five years of continuous stay after getting GC".
What do you think?

I think we are at a stage where people are fed up with the process, but i hope good things happen to people who wait.

Anyone received payment processing errors in the last couple of days on the E-File website? For some reason, while trying to complete payment for my AP e-file, when I try to use the credit card option, I keep getting an error that the e-filing payment processing server is unable to process payments at this time. I have been trying every hour for the last 2 days...and the stupid USCIS Customer Service number has no options to report this error...
I would send an email or snail mail to the Service center - detailing the problem you encountered with both the payment and with the customer service number. It is always better to have something in a written format to back up your claims.
Hope they fix it! I have to get ready to apply for mine in a month......

Dude, the thread says "People interested in Trading Stocks ETFs "..if u don't care then why even bother reading it..there are other threads that talk abt GC..look at those..

Visa numbers WERE available July 2nd!!
We have confirmed with a knowledgeable official in the Department of State Visa Office that USCIS was requesting visa numbers on Sunday July 1st, and Monday morning July 2nd - and that visa numbers were still being issued as late as the morning of July 2nd!
In fact, close to 30,000 visa numbers were requested and issued in July - through the morning of July 2nd. And we believe that many - if not most - of the requests made in the first two days of July were for applicants whose priority dates were not current in June!
So how can USCIS refuse to accept I-485 filings received BEFORE the State Department issued its notice that all visa numbers had been used???? We have not yet confirmed the return of any I-485s filed in July. But we do know that applications were reaching the USCIS before the State Department announcement - and while the USCIS was frantically working to use up the entire year's allocation.
USCIS did not use all visa numbers before July 2nd.
Did USCIS actually use the visa numbers it requested????
Historically, the USCIS doesn't request a visa number from the Department of State until it is ready to grant the adjustment of status application. US Consuls overseas request visa numbers the month before they intend to issue the immigrant visa. This is the reason why consuls return about ten percent of the visa numbers requested - and why USCIS does not generally return any numbers.
In fact, in making allocations of visa numbers, the Department of State factors in an expected return rate for consuls - but not for the USCIS. And the USCIS - before this June - used about 85% of the total immigrant visa numbers available.
However, already this month, the USCIS has been returning visa numbers. This confirms our earlier suspicion that the only way the USCIS could request 68,000 visa numbers in a matter of weeks was to request them in advance of adjudicating cases.
We believe USCIS exhausted the visa numbers by simply requesting them - not by using them. If so, and for reasons we will post shortly, we believe that over 30,000 visa numbers requested by USCIS will go unused - and will be wasted this year!
Posted July 9, 2007
Is this because of the strong condemnation from the US congress women Ms Lof that prompted it to do this to cover their tracks? Did some people miss their chance because of this?
